The constiuctlon of a ralltoad to
the summit of Mont Wane, similar In
all respects to the Jungtrau line, is
under consideration. Well-Known ex
pet is l.ke M. Vallot, dliector of the
Mont Blanc Observatory, and M. Di
pciet, piofessor of mineralogoy at
ttie Lons UnUeislty, who have latelv
ben examining the different routes
and atniosphetlc conditions, believe
that the scheme Is feasible.
The route which picsptits the least
obstacles, and which Is likely to be
chosen, Is on the Savoy side, departing
Horn th village of Houches. Theio
will be twelve stations, which will bo
specially built to resist the climatic
conditions, and will be equipped with
every convenience for traveleis. The
lctipth of the mountain tallway Is esti
mated a eleven mile 4. The hydtaullc
rower, which will be electricity, will b
obtained from the lliver Acto and the
Mt-r tie Glace. Th author of the
scheme a Fiench engineer named
Fabrc, hrts laid the plans of tho new
lullw&y before the Fiench Minister of
tho Interior.
Tlieti Is eveiy likelihood that In u

ti be viewed without danget or fatigue
by tourists.

REACHED AT MILLS.
Sauquolt Mill Girls Will Receive
Their Pay and Have Talks with
Superintendent Davis.
The silk mill strike situation le
malns practically the same as during
tho first part of the week. At all tho
mills where the strike has been de
clared the girls are still nut and thu
prospects of their going back seem
remote. At the Bliss milt In Dunmorc,
the hands nre still nt work, and Rell
llng, David & Schoen'a Petersburg
plnnt Is also being still operated.
Superintendent Bachoben, of tho
last-named mill, yesterday said that
ns yet he haB beeen waited upon by no
committee and that no trouble Is an
ticipated with the hands. The wagj
scale diawn up by the stilkeis' com
mittee and presented at all the oth.r
mills, has not been so far demanded
from the Petersburg people.
Today's developments aie being
awaited with Interest by nil connecteJ
In any way with the strikers. It Is
the Sauquolt's pay day, and after
holding a meeting In Carpenter's hall,
the big mill's sttlklng hands will pre
sent themselves at the mill and re
ceive their month's pay. .superintend
ent Davis will address them, and It
Is thought that some attempt at a
compromise will be made.
If there Is, anil the Sauquolt girls
decide to return to work, then tho
strike Is over, for this mill's employei
nre the backbone of the movement.
Any offer made by the Sauquolt peo
ple, moreover, will be acquiesced In by
