M0sLEMS ARE COMING,
MoHAMMEDAN COLONIES I'm THIS
COUNTRY.
Alexander Russell webb's Mfssion-He
Is Buying Land In the South on
Which to Settle Followers ~
of the Prophet.

New YORK, May 28.--It transpires
United States consul who four years ago
embraced the religion of Mohammed
and who represents the Mohammedans
in the United States, returned TO this
country for other reasons than those he
has already stated. In an interview to-
dey Webb confirmed the statement that
he represented large number of Mo-
hammedans who were planning to emf
CRATE from India to the United States,
and they will probably form colonies in
several OF the southern states. For
some weeks past Webb has been in COM
munication with large property holders
in the south, notably in Georgia and
Florida. He secured figures on large
strips of land and has already reported
these prices to the syndicate of Moham-
medans who, from religious and finan-
cial motives, are interested in the move
ment.
Webb has no doubt that colonies will
actually be established.
"The idea of the Mohammedans, I"
said Webb, ''is to form in every town
and city of the United States circles to
study the great religion of the Indies.
The purpose, however, is not to seek
converts, but to soften the prejudice of
Christians in America against Moham-
medans. Already three circles have
been established, two in New York and
one In Woodbridge, Nj. There seemed
to be such fair and honorable reeep-
ton already accorded the religion that
the colonization plans have been has
tened and the contemplated purchase of
land is simply taking time by the fore
lock. Our plans have gone so far as pre-
parations for laying out towns and
farms. I secured for such purpose an
option on 5000 acres in Georgia and on
seven or eight other tracts equally as
large. bslieve within five years there
will be about 5000 active, able bodied
Musselmans settled in the first colony"

SAN Francisco, May 26-A surrepti-
tious attempt to capture Market, Fol-
som and adjacent streets for trolley
system electric railway was made by a
small army of men in the employ of the
Omnibus Gable company after midnight
last night. Immediately after the stroke
of 12a great array of men, trucks, der
ricks and other appliances for digging
and hosting poles appeared simultane-
ously ab various places on the streets.
Holes were dug quickly, poles hauled
to the ground and speedily raised
and it seemed as il in a
few hours Market and other streets
would be covered with q forest
of electric masts. The street authori-
ties were defied, but finally the mayor
was aroused from his bed, went to the
scene and after. spirited eolloquy with
the leaders of the movement ordered the
police to arrest the entire force. consist
ing of nearly 400 men. The street rail
way projectors then weakened and
called off their men. Today
the street department took
down the poles and confiscated
them and removed other evidences of
the early morning invasion. The case
will be taken into the courts tomorrow.
The Omnibus Gable company has con-
troll of the horse railway operating on
Market and other streets, and claims to
have right to change to electric. The
claim has not bsen allowed by the city
authorities, and their move during the
night was to get possession before they

ing the existence OF the exposition, it's
beauty and grandeur, Gays:
"To enable the citizens of the several
states and territories to avail themselves
of the educational and other advantages
presented by the fair to. receive practicai
benefit from the same and be inspired
by the evidences OF the great progress
made in four centuries in arts, sciences,
! manufactures. agriculture, ETC., IL is abb
solutely necessary That fares to and
from Chicago by the various lines of
transportation should be fixed at rates,
in all parts of the United States, which
will encourage large attendance, and
thus extend and widen the beneficial in
huences and advances Of the exposition.
Whether this object, SO desirable, shall
be accomplished, rests almost entirely
with the management of the Transports
tion facilities.
"The fare on many lines is not reduced
from the regular schedule rates, and on
the remainder very small reduction iH
given. No arrangement has yet been
made, 80 far as we have learned, to en-
courage the attendance of schools of the
neigh hborhood, societies and large bodies
BY offering special rates.
"On behalf of the people we represent,
we respectfully ask that those in control
of the transportation corporations imme-
diately arrange for reduction of fares
to and from the exposition; that they
be reduced for single passengers to rate
that shall not exceed the regular fare
one way from any point in the United
States to Chicago; that a special
inducement be extended to schools,
etc., and that such ar
rangements be made between
the different corporations as will enable
those who visit the fair the purchase
through tickets, which will be honored
by the various connecting lines; that
an arrangement also be made that visi-
tors to the fair can reach Chicago by
one route and return, il they choose, by
another.
tThis appeal is made in behalf of all
the people of our country, and especi-
ally in the interest of foreigners, labor
ers, mechanics, employees, pupils, etc."
The letter is signed by all the execu-
tive officers Of the several states who
are members of the executive commis-
sion, and the officials of state boards.
