The people of Los Angeles will appre-
ciate the lecture Of Mr.. George Kennan
ON the subject of the Siberian exiles.
Whilst he is very entertaining mar
rator, and one of the most graphic de-
scriptive writer's of our day, he is also a
very fine platform orator. Our people
will be greatly pleased with his lecture
from every point of view. Everybody
has read his remarkable series of papers
in the Century magazine. The descrip-
ton OF his wonderful trip to Siberia, his
stolen interviews with the political ex-
lies, his revelations OF the terrible results
of the rule of bureaucracy, through
which some OF the brightest and noblest
OF Russian subjects are exiled to the
mines OF Siberia, and their lives sacri-
feed to system that is relentless in its
cruelty and revenges. Until Mr.. Kennan
revealed to the world the facts OF prison
life in Siberia, the suferings of the pris-
oners, many of whom are delicate and
tenderly-raised women whose only crime
was desire to liberalize their govern
ment under popular constitution, the
outside world had but hazy idea of the
terrible brutality and tyranny Of the
Russian penal system. Mr.. Kennan will
in his lecture doubtless throw new lights
athwart the picture, and perhaps give
rs some hints about the responsibility

The crowds of people at 2l5 South

represents about $4,000, and the COM

THE ADVISORY BOARD.
The Meeting at New York an Harmonious
One.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, May 6-The advisory board
of the Western traffic association met at the
Windsor hotel to-day. All the roads ex-
cept the Southern Pacific were represented.
The Missouri Pacific was represented by
Jay Gould. With reference to the non-rep-
resent2tion of the Southern Pacific it was
said Huntington was in California and
Stubs, the third vice-prcsident, was not in
the city.
All the railroad presidents spoken to
talked hopefully of the situation, many of
them 'bullishly," and suggestions of "a pos
sible disruption of the Western traffic asso-
citation were ridiculed
Jay Gould said Wall street has attached
too much importance to the gold shipments.
He did not think there was anything alarm
ing in the situation. He said there would
be no tight money market and that the
market would feel the benefit in the
fall of the present export of gold. As
to the Western traffic association Gould
declared that it was bound 10 stand, as
there was need for it. \ member OF the
board said that there was business enough
to occupy it for at least TIVE days. After
the difficulty about the Missouri Pacifc's
cut in the sugar rate had been adjusted as
it was expected it would be, the board
would, among other things, probably take
up and discuss a proposition for the estab-
lishment of joint agencies. This is said to
be pet scheme OF Gould and his friends
and one that ne is bent on carrying out, if
possible, in furtherance of an attempt to in
crease the net receipts by economy in eX-
penditures.
1t was rumored that the principal subject
of the discussion would be the cut IN the
rate on sugar by Leeds, traffic manager of
Missouri Pacific, and that the integrity of
the association would depend on the out
come thereof. Mr.. Leeds was said to be
in the hotel ready to make a statement if
the advisory board was willing to listen to
him. In reply to a GAZETTE reporter, Mr..
Hughitt, who presides in the absence of
Roswell Miller, said no significance was to
be attached TO the absence of representa-
tives of the Southern Pacific, and he was
glad, therefore, that the reporter had asked
him about it. Huntington had written, ex-
pressing his great regret that he could not
return from California in time to attend the
meeting Huntington's regret at his ina
bility to be present covered also the absence
of Stubbs. The morning session was de-
voted to discussion of the rules proposed
by the commissioners, the afternoon ses-
sion 20 discussing and arranging the rela-
lions between the Western traffic associa-
ton and the various Western passenger and
freight associations.

THE CHOCTAw PEOPLE.
How the Party Was Received in Denison
Yesterday and the Speeches Made.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
DENIsoN, TEX, May Ga large excur-
sion of capitalists and officials of the Choc-
taw coal and railway company arrived in
this city at II 80 p. N. to-day on special
train. They Were met at the depot by a
committee from the Board of Trade and the
mayor and welcomed to the city.
They were conducted to the rooms eff the
DeniSon club, where large crowd of repre-
sentative business men had congregaJed,
and Mayor Tone made them an address OF
welcome to the city.
Receiver E. D. Chaddick of the Cnoctaw
coal and railway company responded in
short address that showed that their recep-
ton was thoroughly appreciated. After
partaking of a light collation., the party
boarded a rapid transit train and made
tour of the city, stopping at the exposition
hall aud points of interest. On returning
they were taken to carriages and driven
over the city. At 2:45 p. N. they left over
the Houston and Texas Central railway for
Dallas, where they will arrive tonight,
stopping an hour in Sherman en- route.
They are making hurried tour of Texas
for the purpose of informing themselves as
to the extent of the market OF this state
upon which they can rely for the coal and
coke, chiefly the former, which their mines
in the Indian Territory are producing. They
will visit Dallas, Houston, Galveston and
San Antonio, returning via Fort Worth
and Gainesville to Oklahoma City. There
they will go out to Ell Reno on the west end
OF the Choctaw survey, and thence back to
Kansas City. Receiver ChaddiclS in his adj
dress here spoke as follows in reference to
the future movements of the road:
This excursion was planned to show the
gentlemen who were interested in the Choc-
taw company, and some of their friends,
what vast market that company would
have in Texas alone for their Coal. We
have an inexhaustible supply of the best
coal of its kind in America. We have re-
ceived an offer from great concern in Kan
sas City for the entire output of the coke
that we can produce, conditioned only upon
our being able to produce enough for their
wants at good prices, and they say they
would prefer ours to that of the far-famed
Connellsville article. We are coming to
Texas at the earliest possible moment, and
we are going to build into Denison as the
most accessible point and best distributing
market for the products of our mines. I
can say to you that we shall have the road
from Hartshorne to Denison completed
within twelve months from this date. A
haul of only ninety miles will land the best
coal in this country at your very doors.

There May be No Change.

When General Manager Clarke was in
Denver recently, says the News, he made .
minute examination of the plans for the
proposed change of line on the
Fort Worth division in crossing the divide
The grade is very steep in many places, and
it makes the expert engineers of nova
days laugh to think that any man who
claimed to be competent would have been
so silly as to construct the line right over
Il big hill when the road could have been
built around it at almost the same expense.
1t IS proposed to change the lire from
this side of the divide to swerye to the west
around the big hill! and strike the main line
somewhere near Franceville. This, it is
believed would give an easy grade, but 1t
would leave some of the towns on the pres
ent line of in the cold. General Manager
Clarke looked approvingly at the plans for
the change, but did not say whether or not
the line would be rebuilt this year. 1t
would cost good deal of money, and the
Union Pacific is going to curtail every ex-
pense this year. The new line could not be
built in time to help the heaviest traffic,
which will begin next week, hence the Of
fcials can wait another year.

PASSENGER ASSOCIATION.
Finley NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to Texas
Voted Down.


CHICAGO, ILL, May 6-The liability of
lines in the Western passenger association
for acts of their outside connections was
Que of the principal subjects of the discus
sion at to-day;s session of the association.
The question arose, on appeal taken by
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road
from the decision of Chairman Finley,
holding that company responsible for the
action of the Northern Pacific road at
Butte, Mont, in extending the limit of
tickets sold to St. Louis and Reading over
the ST. Paul road from St. Paul to Mason
City. 1t was decided that the
members were responsible in such
cases and the association concurred
in the ruling of chairman and the notice
of the board of the rulings of the Central
traffic and trunk line associations came up
for consideration, but motion to lay it on
the table was promptly carried.
"A proposition to run homestead excur-
sions to Texas points and the Northwest
was voted down.
On the question of summer excursion
rates there was much debate and no action.
and the matter was temporarily passed.
The meeting will be continued to-mor-
row.
Chairman Blanchard on behalf eff the
committee of eighteen, appointed in New
York, is in communication with the pas
senger department of the Central traffic
association, which began its monthly meet
ingS to-day.
Initial session was devoted chiefly to the
fixing of excursion rates for large meetings
and conventions to be held at var. Gus points
in the territory Of the association. The
proposed abrogation of second class fares
is among the important matters to be con-
sidered
