ENYERPRISE IND BUSINESS.
Does the Recording Angel put black
mark against an officer of railroad
company when said officer tells a re-
porter that the company has not bought
a steam or electric road and that there
is nothing to the story that it has bought
it or will buy it, and when it soon after
becomes plain that at the time the
question was asked the company had
bought it, or that there was a great
deal to the story that it would buy it?
And does the same angel put a black
mark against a reporter when he, with
enterprise" aforethought, puts an Of
ffcer of a railroad company in such a
corner that he cannot answer his ques-
ton truthfully without apparently dam
aging his company or himself? These
are interesting questions, although they
don't appear to be very practical in
these days when business is so truly
business.
We shall not attempt to define the
moral responsibility of the railroad
officer, the reporter or the editor who
sends the reporter to ask troublesome
questions which he knows are not likely
to be truthfully answered. A debating
society in a "deestrict'' schoolhouse is
probably the only human agency that
could precisely and properly fix the
amount of responsibility if any, which
each one concerned in the matter ought
to bear. But we can call attention to
the righteousness of the performance.
A rumor comes to newspaper office
that the Embracing railroad COM
pany has gobbled up another road. The
editor, knowing that his readers can't
live another day unless they know the
truth about the matter, sends a reporter
where he knows the truth lies and
where he also knows it is almost certain
to be lied about. The reporter does
what he has been taught to consider
his duty and obtains an official denial"
Of the rumor. That is duly printed and
with it Is usually printed a story af-
firming that the "official deniaP' Is
probably only official Then the affair
goes on with an appearance of some
mystery and Hveliness and in few
days the same man who made the
official denial coyly admits that the
road in question has been gobbled up.
Then there is a rest for awhile until
another rumor floats in and is similarly
treated
1t may not be right to lie even in the
sacred name of business, and 1t may not
be right to provoke man to lie even
in the equally sacred name of newspa-
per enterprise. But we take it that
neither the lying nor the provoking
thereto are as necessary as they seem
to some The newspapers would not be
harmed if they waited few days for
truthful news and did not provoke the
preliminary lying. And the railroad Of
ficers would not be harmed If they
should decide that when they couldn't
safely tell the truth they wouldn't say
anything. Such action might slightly
decrease the profits derived by the Rub
Der trust from the manufacture and sale
of it's celebrated elastic oonscfences,
but it would not harm general business,
general information or general morality.

A Chicago man makes a good thing
saving for other use accommodations of
addressed postal cards which the firms
holding them cannot put to the original
purpose. He first obliterates the print
ed addresses with ink, then bronzes this
over, and if desired prints new address
es on the bronzing. He gets about half
a cent each on large lots, so that the
customer saves half the cost of the
cards instead of losing it all, as for
merly.

Sydney, New South Wales, has hit
upon a practical method of dealing with
its unemployed. It furnishes railroad
pass and a miners right of credit to
each suitable applicant to enable him to
proceed to one of the gold fields of the
colony, where he may have chance of
earning a living by "fossicking" for the
precious metal. The number Of passes
issued in 1894 was 9,572 and since the
Inauguration of the scheme the quanti-
ty of gold obtained in the colony has
risen from 1792SS ounces in 1893 to 324,-
787 ounces in 1894.

ADesirnble Cashm re Effect in silks.

A Desirable Cashmere Effect in silks.
Taffeta is the silk of the season, and
those Of the past seasons colors and
weave are again on the market. The
only thing that is positively new is the
cashmere effect and the blending har-
moniously Of a lot of colors. Remember
that the usual shot effects changeables
and the stripes and dots are still very
pretty, and no one need hesitate either
to wear last seasons dress of such de-
sign, or think it bad economy to buy a
new one of these kinds. But If one
means to put some little money into the
dress it is wise to go in for the cashmere
effect, which is assured in its accepted
popularity and will hold its effect of
good taste for some time to come, AS
to the model to be employed for such
stuff, there is no preference among the

Has Her Son Committed.

New ORLEANS, Nov. ia suit
without precedent in this state
was filed in the Civil District court
Monday morning, when Mrs.
NJ. E. Watson, a native of New
Orleans, and residing on Camp
street, filed proceedings praying
that she be granted to secure the
treatment of the Kelley cure at
the expense of the city of New Or
leans, under act No. l57 of 1891,
which provides, that this treat
ment may be secured by such per-
sons as are unable to pay for it,
after an application has been legal
~ submitted and decided upon by
the courts.
She asks that her son, Baxter Ill.
Watson, be given such treatment
as he is unable to pay for same
and is addicted to the liquor habit.
Judge King, of section b, grant
ed the petition.
This is the first instance in which
any one has taken advantage of act
No. 157, of 1894.

Ute Uprising Feared.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 13.-A spe-

Col, says: No definite information
can be obtained as to the particu-
lars of the murder of the
two Ute bucks and one
squaw in the vicinity of Platen
Creek, and fears are entertained of
an outbreak of the southern Utes.
Grave fears are also entertained for
the safety of the settlers in that
part of the state and warning has
been sent to many to return to
Durango at the earliest possible
moment. 1t is thought probable
the murder was provoked either
by slaughtering game or theft of
stock.

Turkish Professionals Needed.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia special
to the Herald from st. Petersburg
says: Lord Salisbury's speech at
the Guildhall has produced an
electrical effect here. 1t has brought
about the universal expression of
opinion that the powers must in
tervene with joint action in Tur-
key.
The Novost says in order to
avoid war the powers must estab.
lish a protectorate over Turkey.
The Mohammedans, Kurds, Syri-
ans and Cretans are rising in va
rious parts of the empire, and
Turkey is hurriedly calling out her
reserves.
The Novoe Vremya, in a long ar
ticle on the situation, speaks Of
the power of the Turkish army
being great, by reason OF its fanati-
cism, and its being organized by
German officers. 1t says that Rus
STA must be equal to the occasion,
one OF the necessities being the
concentration of 10000 troops at
Erzroum to begin with.

Has Made a Special Report

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Consul
General Jernigan, at Shanghai, has
made a special report to the state
department upon the four new
treaty ports, which have been
opened by China to the worlds
trade, namely: Chung King, Hang
Chow, Foo Chow and Sha Tsze or
Sha Shi. He shows that these are
all great cities, located in wealthy
sections and generally accessible
by water. One peculiar Chinese
institution, which he touches upon,
is a variety of boat fitted with
steer wheels and driven by tread
mill. Passengers are taken free,
as they should, considering the
fact that they are obliged to walk
the entire distance of their destina-
ton on the treadmill.

REPORT ON NICARAGUA CANAL
Estimated Cost and Proposed Route
Submitted to Cleveland.

I
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-A special
to the Herald from Washington, ID.
c., says: Trustworthy informa-
tion has been received as to the
contents Of the report of the COM
mission which examined into the
feasibility and cost and recon-
mended route for the Nicaraguan
canal. The report is in the hands
OF the president, who is using it in
connection with his work on his
annual message to congress. The
report indicates that canal across
the isthmus via the Nicaraguan
route is entirely feasible from an
engineering point OF view. The
cost OF the project as estimated is
Sll0, 100000, but it is stated that
this sum is too small by some mil.
lions. The commission was nearly
three months engaged in its sur
vey work. The route as proposed
by the commission is l73 miles
long, or three or four miles
longer than that which the
canal company proposed. The
commission made surveys to the
right and left of the company's
route and has suggested some
changes which it believes will be
advantageous. The commits sion
favors waterway that will be
supplied with locks. The San
Juan river and Lake Nicaragua
will be utilized, but the former
will require considerable dredging.
The lake is 564 miles across from
the San Juan ontlet to the mouth
Of the lakes. Some dredging will
be required on the west coast of
the lake which is shoal for dis
lance Of something like 1880 feet.
Brito will be the western terminus
OF the canal and the distance from
this point to the lake is a little
more than IL miles. An estimate
has been made, in that way in or.
der to complete the canal, which
the commission proposes, six years
will be required and in order to
complete it in that time 10000
men will have to be constantly en-
ployed. The commission also went
to Panama and made a survey of
the route there and also refer to
this project in its re port.

ALBANY, n. ", Nov.-Bishop
William Croswell ,Doane, in his
address to the clergy attendant
upon the Epicopal diocesan con-
ference at all Saints church, spoke
at some length on the question of
excise, expounding novel prin-
ciple. He said that political i'm
morality is largely augmented by
the attempt to exercise over the
sale of liquor a special control
other than that exercised over the
sale of other things. If the state
would let the whole matter alone,
he believed it would regulate itself
by the law of supply and demand.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Call Issued For the Fifteenth An
nual II setting.

'Ihil ASsuou ror tno cILeenLn An
nual Meeting.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 49,
President Mcbride of the Ameri.
can Federation OF Labor has sent
out the call for the fifteenth an.
nual convention OF the federation,
which will be held in Madison
Square Garden n. Y, beginning
Dec. 10. The basis of representa-
ton in the convention will be from

body not connected with or having
a national or international head
affiliated with the federation, one
delegate. President Mcbride is
writing his annual address and
Secretary McRaith is engaged on
his report. The report will show
that the order has been under a
financial strain during the last
year on account Of the many appro-
priations made by the Denver con-
vention. There has been consider
able money expended in attempt
ing to secure pardon for two Of
the homestead rioters who are still
in prison. The appropriation for
Eugene V. Debs has been paid.
There are in the report numerous
other items that foot up a consid-
cradle total. The reports will show
that the federation has grown in
members and influence during the
year. The officers of the federation
have with the assistance of an at
torney of national prominence,
whose name is withheld, prepared
a bill for presentation to congress
prohibiting the assessment of fine
in contempt in cases already
covered by statute. There will be
two delegates from the English
labor congress to the convention,
Messrs. Cowes and Maudsty. One
of the interesting questions that
will be considered by the coming
convention will be how to enforce
the eight-hour day May l, next.

STEAMSHIP ARRIVES
From the Orient and Hawaii, Bring
ing Passengers Who Talk on
Suhiects of Intereat

ing Passengers VINO I8lk on
Subjects of Interest.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 13.-
The Occidental and Oriental steam.
ship Coptic, Captain Lindsay, ar.
rived here last night from the
orient and Hawaii. Among the
passengers from the latter place
was A. Il. Hatch, late minister OF
foreign affairs of the island repub-
lie, and recently appointed Ha-
waiian minister to the United
States to succeed Minister Thurs
ton. The Coptic was recent caller
at ports that quarantine offici als
call infected, and it will be late to-
day before she will enter the dock.
Mr.. Hatch, in common with the
other passengers, was compelled to
remain aboard the ship, which
found anchorage away out near the
fort. Chas. Wilder, the Hawaiian
consul general, went out on the
tug Hartley to meet his late chief,
and the two had a long consulta-
ton. The consul remained on
board all night. Mr.. Hatch did not
have much to report. All the eN-
lies, with few exceptions, have
been pardoned, and many are re-
turning to the country. Ex-Queen
Liliokalini has been i'll, but her
sickness is not regarded as serious.
Cholera had disappeared. Business
had been badly depressed by the
cholera, but was improving. The
situation as to the government is
said to be absolutely unchanged.
Mr.. Hatch will be accompanied to
Washington by his wife, who is
now here at San Francisco.
Another passenger Of Importance
was Major General d. T. Subotitch,
of the Russian army, lately sta
toned at Vladivostock. He talks OF
commerce and Industrial develop
ment, attaching the greatest i'm
portance to the tranS-Siberian
railway. He says Russia is plan
ming the establishment OF a great
fish cannery on the Asiatic coast.
This means competition with the
fishing interests of this country.
