A PAN-AMERICAN RAILWAY.
President Harrison Favors Gil
gantic Undertaking

gantIC L Undertaking.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The presi-
dent sent to the senate to-day letter
from the secretary of state submitting
the plan for preliminary survey for a
railway line to connect the principal
cities Of the American hemisphere, IN
accordance with the recommendation
of the Pan-American conference. The
share of the United States in the cost
of the survey will be $4,000. In his
letter of tranSmittal the resident says:
"Public attention has chiefly been
attracted to the subject of imEroved
water communication between the
ports of the United States and those of
Central and South America. The crea-
ton of new and improved steamship
lines undoubtedly furnishes the readiest
means of developing an increased trade
with the Latin-American nations. But
it should not be forgotten that it is pos
sible to travel by land from Washing
ton TO the southernmost capital of South
America and that the opening of rail-
Wav communication with these friendly
states will give to them and to the
United States facilities for intercourse
and the exchange of trade that are
of special value. The work con-
templated is vast, but entirely
practicable. 1t will be intesting to all,
and perhaps surprising to most of US. to
notice how much has already been done
in the way Of railway construction in
Mexico and South America that can be
utilized as part of an intercontinental
line. | do not hesitate to recommend
that congress make the very moderate
appropriation for surveys suggested by

tail of engineer officers to direct and
conduct the necessary preliminary sur

WHO WILL LEAD
In Making the Next Drop in the
Rate War?

Yesterday witnessed the Inauguration
of the So first-claSS rate, or Sc the round
trip, between St. Paul and Chicago.
The Milwaukee is the only line asking
a SIS frst-class rate to Chicago. There
were no indications yesterday of further
reductions. but among well-informed
railroad men it is anticipated that 81
firstc-Iass will be IN force between st.
Paul and Chicago before this week is
out. If there is no further reduction
the probability is that the So
rate may remain in force for
some time. General Passenger Agent
Burlington was doing big through
business to Chicago, and that the feel
ing of the public was with the road in
the action that had been taken. The
roads to be affected most by the reduc-
lions are those doing large local trade
the Omaha, Milwaukee and st. Louis
roads. The st. Louis road has not yet
publicly announced a So rate to Chicago,
though it is said that in order to keep
passengers from other roads tickets at
this rate are furnished them. There
was a report yesterday that the Omaha
would reduce its running time to twelve
hours. If this is done there is no know
ing how the present rate trouble will
end.
The Milwaukee and Omaha an
nounced SO rate to Denver. via Kan
sas City, which will go into effect at
once. The Burlington has met the Mil
waukee rate of 81 from st. Paul to St.
Louis. 1t is expected that this will be
generally quoted to-day.

DEAR SIR:
Since the fire which recently occurred
at our works in ElizabethpOrt, n. j.. we
have received numerous offers of new
sites for a factory, and many people
whose time is of great value are going
to trouble and expense in getting up
offers of special inducements and con-
cessions. Will you permit us to use
your columns in making such a state
ment as will save our friends and repre-
sentatives from any further anxiety or
trouble on this score.
No essential part of the machinery
necessary TO produce complete machines
was destroyed. We are to-day turning
out full quota of all our regular and
special machines, and filling all orders
in regular course.
We are already rebuilding the COM
paratively small section Of the building
which was damaged (all buildings save
that one being untouched). and we are
rapidly replacing the machinery for
needles and accessories which was de-
stroyed. Even of these we shall have a
sufficient supply to fill all orders.
We therefore expect to carry on our
works without material interruption
Just where they are, and any present at
tempt to remove would cause more in
convenience than the fire.

under mortgage for $500. The land

claimed that johnson, who held the
mortgage, had led West to believe that
he would extend the time of paying the
full amount of the mortgage. and that
payments were made thereon from time
to time. West charges Johnson with at
tempts to deceive and defraud him, and
that he had no knowledge of the sale of
the land until johnson sold it to An

times during the existence of the mort
gage was worth at least $4,000, and
loan could have been negotiated with

Reversals were the order of the dag
in the supreme court yesterday. Judge
Mitchell handed down six decisions, in
no less than four of which the orders of
the courts appealed from were reversed.
Several of the cases were of more than
passing interest, and, as result, sew
eral new laws have been added to the
statute books of the state. In one of
these cases the supreme court hits the
loan agents of the state blow that will
count, by holding that it is usury for a
man to charge a bonus for making a
loan, in addition to the legal rate OF
interest as provided by the laws of the
state. This statement appears in the
case of Lewis VS.. Willeughby, and the
facts in the case are about as follows:
Willoughby's agent made a loan of
something like $1,000 on property owned
by Lewis. The loan bore interest at
10 per cent, and the agent charged as a
bonus for securing or negotiating the
loan the sum of $500. In so doing the
Minnesota court Of last resort holds that
the agent was guilty of usury. and as
the agent was acting for and represent
ing his principal, the latter was also
guilty of the same. The syllabus will
be found below along with those in the
other cases decided yesterday.
