of the week. He came TO visit an old
friend who has a cottage here.
He did not get to the races yester-
day afternoon, as he felt somewhat ihdis-
posed, but instead went over to John
DAILY s Long Branch club. He lost sew
era1 hundred there and concluded to
change his base Of operations. He went
over to the Pennsylvania avenue club,
had little dinner in the cafe, and then
strolled back into the department de-
voted to cards and chips. But few peO-
pie were present. Almost all the sports
at the Branch had gone to Monmouth
park. Reschler took $1,000 bill from
big roll and bought five stacks of
chocolate-c olored checks at $40 check.
''What's your limit? - he asked of the
sphinx-like Pete Smith, who was dealing.
1.-TWO hundred to doubles and nun
dred to cases, - answered Pete.
Reschler at once put down his amount
of limit About IL clock, when he had
been playing several hours, he made
proposition to the dealer to put the limit
up a little higher. He wanted to bet $500
instead of $500. The dealer referred the
matter to the proprietors, and they ac-
commodated him. ReschIer plunged, and
contrary to the rule when a man raises
his bets he continued to win. Instead of
being paid in big piles of chips he received
one white check.

The Proposed Railroad Trust.
New VorLr Stor

New York Star.
1t seems that the great railroad trust is
not myth. Such a scheme is actually
proposed by people of weight and stand
ing IN the financial world, and it receives
support from some eminent bankers.
But 1t is as yet purely a suggestion.
Rumors that certain large railroad cor
porations had already been committed to
the plan appear to be exaggerations of
the fervid imagination that f1ourishes in
the Chicago climate. In that quarter an
operation involving a practical CONSOLE
datiOn of all The railroad lines west and
southwest of that city appears to be an
easy task. Nearer Wall street the COM
binatIon of so many interests and of cap
ital rising into thousands of millions of
dollars seems to be a matter of consider
able difficulty
The reasons that lead to the serious
consideration of such plan are not diff
cult to fathom. Railroad competition in
certain parts Of the West has run to ex-
tremes. 1t has resulted in a willful
waste Of capital. The so-called ''gen-
tlemen s agreement of last winter was
the first practical move in the direction
of controlling this undesirable and ex-
travagant tendency. So far as the spirit
of that agreement has been observed its
effects have been beneficial. 1t involved
the substitution OF concerted action and
Capitalization for the previous chaotic
competition and warfare. But unfortu-
nately the Interstate agreement could
not go far enough in that direction. The
trust plan is an extension of the idea,
and, like all extreme measures, will
probably fail to secure the united support
necessary to its realization. What can
be expected is closer drawing of the
lines within the existing railroad organi-
Zations.

WINNEPEG, Man., July 2.-The case
of Martin Burke, the Cronin murder
suspect, came up again before Judge
Balm this morning. Burke looked agi-
tated and pale. and his eyes were blood
shot. It.is evident that he is suffering
from his confinement. Leave was
granted to amend the information
against Burke by adding the aliases
Delaney and Williams. The evidence
taken before the grand jury in Chicago
was then put in and accepted by the
judge, after a number OF objections
raised by Burke's lawyers had peen
overruled, The evidence makes over 8
hundred pages of closely written FOOLS
cap, and is certified to by James G..
Blaine, secretary OF state, and counter
signed by the secretary of the British
legation at Washington. The reading
OF the dispositions took up the whole
forenoon. In the afternoon Martinsen
gave similar evidence to what he gave
in Chicago in the Inquest. James Dill
labaugh, a reporter Of Chicago. gave
evidence as to the Identification of
Cronin's body at the morgue The case
was then adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow.

Kind Words for Pat Klllen.

West Duluth Sun: Paddy Mcdonald,
of this city, who has an excellent opinion
of Peter Jackson, the Australian pngi-
list, thinks he would prove great mark
for Killen. Paddy bases his opinion on
a careful study of Jaokson's battles, his
methods of sparing and also on a like
knowledge Of Killen. Many West Du-
luth sports went to see Jackson spar
with Ices and all OF them do not fail to
pronounce him q highly over rated man.
One thing certain he defeated Cardiff in
10 rounds but, K,llen done the same
thing in only few rounds. Jackson
whipped McAuliffe- but our readers can
rest assured that Killen will do the same
in quicker time, and nobody denies now
the fact that McAuliffe is better man
than the day he fought the black. Pat
Killen has many friends IN Duluth,
simply because he is gentlemanlv, tenn
perate and an exceedingly good prin-
cipled man. Only one man in our opin-
ion is a match for Pat and that is Sui
Ivan.
Speaking of Sullivan and Kilraln, who
fight in July, the leading authorities
predict Kilra1n's defeat in less than 10
rounds and The Sun is confident Of the
