A NEW SYSTEM
To be Known as tho -. c O. North
western" viii Probably Result
from the Reflnding Of The Floating
Debt.

Baltimore, Nd. January est is no.
improbable that the reminding of the
floating debt of the B. & o. R. r. Co..
will result IN the formation of a new
sys .em to be known as the B. & o..
Northwestern. The proposed collateral
trus. loan VIII probably amount 10
$12,O0O,OOO instead Of $1O,O0O,OOO, as at
first estimated, the greater part Of It
being intended to fund existing deb
and the balance 10 provide for needed
improvements on the entire system.
To carry out this arrangement It is
intended to form, Il is said, the B. q
O. Northwestern system ont Of the var
.ous small branches running from
P.ttsburg to Chicago and forming the
main line to Chicago. The P.tts6urg
and Western branch will be the nucleus
of the proposed new system. The
scheme provides that a new bond be
issued on these lines, guaranteed by the
B. & O. T. r. &C.. which VIII be sold
TO pay off he company's debts incurred
by these lines.
Another interesting rum0r in connec-
ton with the proposed formation OF a
new system is that in the event the idea
IS adopted, Mt Thomas NJ. King, sec
ond vice president Of the b. & o., VII
be elevated 20 the presidency Of the

ed to investigate election frauds in this
state and inaugurate a contest for the
governorship and endorse a contest up
ON the part of some candidates for con-
gress- The Republicans claim frauds
were far reaching and surpass anything
heretofore practiced and that in five
west Tennessee counties alone enough
votes were transferred from the Repub-
lican to the Democratic ticket in the
country precincts to overcome the al
legged Democratic majority in the state.
1t is known that Mr. f. B. Stahlman

feels keenly the appOintmeut of
q failure to carry the state and believes
with a fair count the state would have
been placed in the Republican column
by large majorities.

Chicago, Nov. 18.-Eleven men, all
residents Of Chicago, have perfected a
plan to form a colony in Honduras for
the purpose of coffee culture. Three

years general manager of the Chicago

Martin Rittenhouse, a nephew of the
lumber dealer of that name, and Otto
Lysius, wealthy young German, who
has been in this country about year.
Speaking of the plan just before leay-
ing, Mr.. Cushing said:
Experts say Central American coffee
can be made the equal of any in the
world. Any quantity of government
land can be bought for 81 an acre in sill
YER We have cheap labOr-25 cents a
day in silver-and cheap and quick
transportation, a steamer line running
from New York to Puerto COrtez twice
a month, and we also have water con-
necuons with New Orleans.
The government encourages us in
every way 1T permits US to take in all
our agricultural tools and effects free Of
import duties and exempts our lands
from taxes for a period of ten years.
There is likewise no export duty on COT
fee, and, in addition. the government

Der reaches 5000 1t is just as liberal
in the matter of rubber and cacaO, from
which cocoa is made.
we shall stay in Honduras at least
until our coffee trees are bearing. There
will be a showing when the trees are
two years old. At three there will be
a small crop, at four a good one, while
at five years of age the trees will pro
duce a maximum crop. The life Of a
tree is about 40 years.
