The Income OF the santa Fe Road
Grossly Overstated.


New YoRK. July 22-The World says:
The meeting of the Atehison. Topeka q
Santa Fe reorganization committee Fri
day developed an astounding surprise.
1t had been expected that Expert
Little would make his financial report.
which would about agree with the CON-
mittee's estimate and the reorganization
plan could be put forth complete in every
detail.
Mr. Little. however, did not make his
report Instead, he said that while exam
lining the books he found evidence
of hgurehead juggling in the matter
of rebates to freight shippers. The
amount was very large, and instead of
being charged TO the proper expense ae-
count IL had been shifted 70 other chan
nels, so that the statement of in
come and earnings was incorrect.
An explanation was Immediately de-
manded, and the fact eliclted that
two sets Of books were kept, one in the
East and one in the West. Where IL was
necessary the charges were properly made
on the Eastern books. on which the pub
lie statements were based. L DOE receiving
this reply Mr.. Little was ordered TO ex-
anime into the Eastern books. lie hastily
ran over them. and last evening the state
ment was made By Secretary kobb. Of the
reorganization committee.
The secretary Of the Atchisou reorgani-
cation COMMITTEES makes the following
statement Ia behalf of the company (:

COREAN WAR.
A DISASTROUS COREAN REVOLT
AGAINST JAPAN REPORTED.
Japan's Army Retreats to Fusan-
Terrible Confagration and
Holocaust in Ching
King.

SHANGHAI, Sept. l4.-If reports
received from Corea are true, there
is no doubt that the Japanese forces
operating against the Chinese will
likely be hemmed in. Dispatches
from Fusan confirm the reports
that the whole of southern Corea
has risen against the japanese. 1t
also seems to be confirmed that a
Japanese force Of 10000 men, who
attempted to march from Fusan
to Seoul, met with disaster
serious enough to compel
them to return to the former
place with 1,200 missing. From
this, it is judged serious fight
must have taken place. Gen. Hi
Yung Fue, the prominent black
flag chief of Aural, has received
orders from the throne to report
as soon as possible for the Island
of Formosa, where he is to act as
assistant Imperial high war COM
missioner.
A disastrous fire is reported at
Chung King, Aug. %. Thirty per-
sons are known to have persisted
and it is probable that this num-
Der is far less than the actual loss
of life. 1t is estimated that the
loss by the fire will amount to 15,-
100000 taels. About 1000 build
ings were destroyed. No foreign
houses were hurnpd
Further details from Torea say
the Japanese force of 1000 men
was sent to open a line of COM
muuication between Fusan and
Seoul. Their advance was opposed
by the Coreans, who eventually
compelled the japanese to return
to Fusan, with loss Of 1920 men.
Two thousand men, sent to rein.
force Japan, are now guarding
Sorio, which, it is expected,
will be attacked by the Longnaks.

Ladies Working Against Brock.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. IA
Lexington special says the women
are out all over the Breckenridge
district today urging the voters for
tomorrow's primaries. Their pres
ence is having much to do with
preventing fights. They will be in
the field again tomorrow.
The best work on election day on
all sides will be done in this city.
There does not seem to be any
chance for fraudulent voting or
false counting, as each candidate
has a representative among
the election officers. The best
of politicians are behind
Breckenridge and all known me-
thods for vote making are being
employed by them. They are
working as though it were a mat
ter of life and death and concede
that the influence Of the ladies is
their greatest difficulty.

OF Interest to Philatelists.

Postage stamp collectors are
doubtless already aware that about
the 1st of November Uncle Sam
will begin to circulate a new set of
stamps, says Harper's Weekly.
The understanding is that the COL
lectors are pleased by every new
issue of stamps. To be sure it puts
them to some trouble, and even to
some expense, but trouble and ex-
pense are no drawback to stamp
collectors, or, indeed, to collectors
of any sort. Things that are neith-
er expensive or troublesome are
not worth collecting. The special
merit about new issues of stamps
is that the trouble and cost or
adding them to ones collection is
small compared with the satisfac-
ton they give. Uncle Sam is to-
make his now stamps himself, in
stead Of hiring them made, as here
tofore, by the American Banknote
company. They are to be very Liz
the present ones in desi gn, with
Just enough difference to crafty a
collector. A change Of color may
be made, which has an interesting
reason. 1t was suggested at a
meeting Of the international postal
union at Paris, in 1878, that the
stamps most in use in the coun-
tries composing the union
should be of uniform col
ors, so that travellers and
immigrants might know better
what to buy. Our most used
stamps are the ones, twos, and
fives. For those and the cores
ponding stamps of foreign coun-
tries, the cOlors chosen were re-
spectively green, red and blue.
Thus, If this plan was carried out,
our 5-cent stamp, the British two
and half pence stamp, and the
others of like value, would all be
blue, and could be purchased by
sample, and European travel
would be shorn OF one more Of its
perpleXities.

TO BUY GREEN GOODS.
THE DETECTIVES CAPTURE TWO
FARMERS,
And Rosenblum, ''the Steerer," for
Working in Counterfeit
Money.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Leo We'll
enroter and Henry Schermanu,
brothers-in-law who describe them
selves as farmers from Denoes,
Ills, arrived in this city yesterday
with 81, 900 and an avowed purpose
to invest in "green goods" The
two farmers were met at the depot
by Henry Rosenblum, and his con-
federates who stood at the gate
called out their names. Each
"steerer" took one of the "guys"
and led him up West street to
Canal and along to the Pincus ho-
tel. They entered the hotel and
went to room on the second floor,
where the 'steerers" asked them
how much money they had and
how much "green goods" they
wanted. The farmers, who were
afraid of being tricked, were eau
tious about hitting themselves
and Rosenblum asked Wellenroter
to take walk with him to see the
"old man."
Wellenroter consented and the two
men left the hotel, while the other
"steerer" and Schermann remained
in the room. Rosenblum and We'll
lenroter walked to Watts street
where they were met by Acting
Captain OToole of the Leonard
street station, and Detectives Meth
ercroft aud Taggart, who knew
Rosenblum, and suspected his busi-
ness with the old man. Captain
O'Toole and his men Immediately
accosted the men, and after a few
words placed them under arrest
and took them to the Leonard
street station. Wellenroter adj
mitted that he came to New York
to buy r en- goods from Rosenblum
and told what arrangements were
made with the two steerers.
The detectives went to the
hotel but they found only Scher-
mann there. The steerer had
gone. They took Schermann into
custody. He too acknowledged the
nature of his visit to the city. He
said he had told the steerers that
Wellenroter had all the money
and the fellow left him in disgust.
The farmers had "come on" cir
cular, which they said they had re-
ceived from Rosenblum and they
had correspondent with him for sew
eral weeks. The trio were taken to
the Tombs police court last night
and Rosenblum was held in $4,000
bail for examination on a charge of
advertising counterfeit money for
sale. The farmers were held as
witnesses.

NEW YORK, Sept. l4.-Frank G.

and he will probably bring with
him a noted French billiard star.
That he will arrive away ahead OF
the time when he was expected by

by a private message that Expert

the first authoritative news OF the
Western star that has reached
New York since he and Jacob
Schaefer abruptly severed partner
ship and gave up their academy in
Paris several weeks ago. The disso-
