4 Railroad COmpany'S Plan to Enable
WOTkil5m6n 10 Become Stockholders.

CHICAGO, July S.-The Journal publishes
an interview with President Fish of the L.
linOis Central outlining a plan which he is
about to lay before his employees. 1t is in
brief that they shall deposit with the COM
pany a certain portion of their earnings to
be invested for their benefit II the securi-
ties of the company.
CHICAGO, July S.-Concerning the pub
lished rumor that the officers of the Illinois
Central Railway Company are seeking to
induce their employees to invest their saw
ings in securities of that corporation,
President Fish said to-day that the COM
pany has no stock for sale, but proposes to
assist any of its officers or employees to buy
one share at a time at a fair market price,
the purchaser to pay in sums Of not less
than S.. On these sums interest will be
credited, and when one share is paid
for he can, if lie wishes, begin the
purchase OF another. 1t is hoped TO enlist
every frugal person IN any way connected
with the railroad as partner on n basis of
the utmost liberality to the small proprie-
tor. 1t is not proposed to form a savings
bank or q benevolent association, the
experience of the company being that
the men would prefer to handle
these matters themselves. The purchaser
may at any time have his contract and
money returned to him with interest. This
company assumes the entire risk of a fall
in the price of shares and the expense OF
doing the work. President Fish's belief is
that the plan, properly presented. will in
duce greater thrift among the men,
and through their example spread
among the people the habit of
saving and investing in the securities
of the railroad which runs past
their doors The ultimate object is to pro-
duce a community of interest between citi-
zens and railways. which shall give a per-
fectiOn of railway service aud most profit
able investment for the small proprietor in
sound, dividend paying railroad shares.

WASHINGTON, July s.-As result of
Colonel E. c. Fosters recent trip to Califor-
MIA and Lower California, made at the in
stance Of Acknowledgement Miller, for the
purpose Of obtaining exact information as
to the alleged conspiracy on the part of an
English company to take forci bic possession
of the Peninsula of Lower California and
hold it against the Mexican Government,
the Department Of Justice is just now in
possession of the real facts of the case. The
English company in question, entitled the
Mexican Land and Colonization Company,
had undoubtedly made careful preparati ons
to seize the peninsula and establish an in
dependent Government. The premature ex-
posure Of the plan was all that prevented
its consummation. Foster said to-day tn at
he did not believe there would be any
further attempts to seize Lower Califo rnia.
Mexico was forewarned and would protect
herself against repetition of the pl OF.
Moreover, the English company that had
inspired the scheme will have good d cal
of explaining to do to the Mexican Govern
ment before it is through with the affair.
The evidence gathered by Mr. Foster against
the company in this matter is very strong e.
One of the most significant incidents in
this connection was the presence on the
ground Of Major Scott. General Manager of
the company. He was an officer in the
Royal Engineers. He was selected over 4
year ago to take charge of the affairs of the
company, and the selection of military men
for this position was, to say the least, Sill
gular and significant. Major Scott was at
Ensenada when the rlOt exploded and at
once returned to England and resumed his
military duties In the British Army He
had never resigned his commission, but was
merely on leave OF absence.
1t is also said that Mexican Minister RO-
nero differs with Colonel Foster, the Gen
eral Agent Of the Department of Justice,
concerning the strength of the evidence the
latter had obtained as to the completely of
the land and colonization company in the re-
cent conspiracy to gain control of Lower
California. Minister Romero says he in
spected the evidence and so far he finds 1t
10 be largely heresay and based on aflidavltS
of certain men who have confessed to par
tici alton i'll the affair, such as Walter Gift
ford Smith, who, it is alleged, was to be
the new Governor-General 1t is question
able how much credence can be placed in
their statements. However, the Mexican
Government, Mr.. Romero said, in
tended to thoroughly Investigate all the
facts in the case, and should it be proved
beyond cavil that the officers of the English
company have been mixed up in the in
tended revolution ana with design, then it
may result in the confscation of their
property and the annulment of the copces-
Sions that have been granted them.

evidently being to persuade purchasers
they are getting the California goods.
Florida is not getting a tenth the adverLis-

has. The flattering feature Of all this is
that it is unsolicited and that the facts are
printed as mere items OF news. Even the
daily metropolitan press, which fails TO
make a specially of such trade matters, IS
noticing California fruit in the regular
news columns. There is not a possibility
for doubt, according to the best authorities
interviewed, and who call attention to these
facts as significant, that California goods
will be introduced to twice as many new
people this year as during any season pre-
ceding. The latest pointers are that Turk

BANKERS SATISFIED.
Financiers Believe the Conference Silver Bill
G5oa 0as

New YORK, July S.-A number of finan-
ciers have been interviewed concerning the
Silver Bill. President st. John of the Mer-
camille Bank calls it an excellent bill aud
happy issue of the conflict between the SEN
ate and the House. 1t will, he believes,
stimulate the importation of foreign gold
ana in consequence no depreciation need be
feared in the purchasing power of the
treasury notes to be issued.
Frederick d. Tappen, President of the
Galiatin National Bank, said ne thought the
measure was all right. He does not think -.
it would cause the withdrawal of gold from
circulation or make gold marketable COM
modify. II the people want silver for ship
ment they will take silver bullion, and il
they want gold they will ship $50 gold
pieces.
Vice-President Garland of the First Ma
:ional Bank approves of the bill as agreed
upon by the conference committee. 1t is
much better than free coinage. He does
not think it will cause the withdrawal of
gold from circulation nor make gold
marketable commodity.
