FOR A NEW GULF ROAD.
Gov. Leedy, Of Kansas, Unfolds Plan to
Get Ahead OF tie Railroads,

Gov. Leedy, OF Kansas, Unfolds n Plan to
Get Ahead OF the Railroads.
MANKATo, Kan, May 97.-Gov. Leedy
addressed big audience here yester-
day. lie said he did not come to talk
politics, but business. After review
ing the efforts to get a maximum rail-
road bill through the last legislature,
and defending his action in vetoing
the Harris bill, the governor said:
read yesterday In the papers that by the
decision Of the supreme court Of the United
States the life and authority Of the interstate
commerce commission is at an end. 1t has
taken us II years. long, weary years, to find
that 1t was valueless. 1t will now be in order
for congress to pass another bill, and shall we
wait another II years until that has been tried
and testedY The time has come for the people
Of Kansas and the west to act Let them get
for themselves the relief from exorbltant
freight rates that they seem unable to get in
any other way.
! stand here ready to submit plan that
would not have been submitted to the public
so soon had 10 not been for this decision Of the
supreme court against the interstate commerce
commission
For four months this has been maturing, and
am now before you as the representative Of a
company of gentemen-railroad men-who
desire to 20 into partnership with the
public in the building of railroad
from some point in Central Nebraska
through Kansas, Oklahoma, Indian territory
and Texas to the gulf, The publicne not put
up one cent until the road is completed. The
company speak of is able and ready to COM
plete the road provided the public will take the
majority interest in it,
BY public mean the states and munich
palities shall hold the majority of stock. We
do not intend to have one dollar Of private cap
ical in 1t other than our own. We could not
afford it. Either we will run the road or the
majority interests may run it. We will take
equal chances with them
This road as proposed would be about 1000
miles in length and need not have bonded
Indebtedness of over $4,000 per mile The
valuation should be fixed by the Texas railroad
commission. The idea OF course, is to reduce
the rates to the gulf to the minimum, There
is no excuse for new road to the gulf other

Forecasting the Weather.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The most
significant development in weather
forecasting for years, making it posi-
BILE to forecast for a period at least 10
hours longer than at present and more
accurately, has been attained by the
weather bureau and soon will bear
practical fruit. This is the result of
experiments with kites flown at dis
tances one to two miles above the sur
face of the earth. which have been
quietly conducted in this city for some
weeks

nets and timbrcls were used by the
ancient Hebrews in the worship OF

ITO the Murderers, Highwaymen and
lIoboes,' warning them to leave this
region within "a hours. The notice
concludes: "lIoboes, whether inno-
cent or guilty of crime, who go at
once, will be considered innocent, but
those who remain over the allotted
time are guilty in our belief, and God

GREEN BEsrs M'KEEvER.
SAN FRANCISCO, May Eft took
George Green 10 rounds to accomplish
the hardest task he has ever under
taken in his pugilistic career, when he
defeated Charles McKeever last night,
but he did it. And while the end was
somewhat sudden and the decision not
generally understood, owing to the
confusion, the result was satisfactory
to the 1900 spectators The contest
was notable for the terrific pace set by
Green. lie has always been known as
a rushing fighter, but his record in
last nights contest eclipses all former
records. In fact, it was the pace that
told on McKeever almost as much
as the terrible punishment he re-
ceived about the body at the hands Of
his opponent.

INDEPENDENCE, Kan, May 27-Great
excitement prevails among the whisky

trouble is brewing as a result of the
petition for grand jury which has
been presented to Judge Skidmore.
The whisky men claim that the per-

be the first ones to be brought
before the grand jury and scandalous
stories are being circulated about
many of the leaders in the movement.
In Liberty, southeast of here, the
trouble has assumed serious proper

PEACE NOT ASSURED.
War Now Threatens TO Break the Grsco-
Turkish Armlstice.

ATHENS, May 27-Peace negotiations
between Turkey and Greece, with each
of the powers sel6shly involved, pro-
coed so slowly as to be an actual men
ace, and the belief is gaining ground
that the present armistice will be
raised for the actual resumption Of
hostilities. The sultan, whose diplo-
macy is slippery at best, is regarded
with dark suspicion and popular fear
exists that even Athens may soon be
in peril. Thessaly forms the stumbling
block 10 the conclusion Of peace. Tur-
key seeks to retain the province, os-
tensibly as a guarantee for the pay
ment Of the indemnity, and to make
the situation more grave, the powers
may divide at any moment on this
issue.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Representa-
tives of practically all the tobacco
manufacturers in the United States,
with the exception Of the cigar manu-
facturers, met here yesterday to pro-
test against the proposed advance of
two cents a pound in the tax on to-
bacco, contemplated in the senate
amendments to the tariff bill. There
were either present or represented
about $50 manufacturers The total
output, exclusive of cigars, of the
United States is about 800, 600, 900
pounds annually, and of this amount
over 25OOOOOOO pounds were repre-
sented. Gen. E. McAlpin, of New
York, was chairman and 7. L. Allen,
secretary. Among those present were
representatives Of every important to-
bacco producing or manufacturing
point in the country. Resolutions
were unanimously adopted which
briefly cite the injury inflicted upon
the trade by the frequent changes in
the tax rate, and protest against the
adoption Of the senate amendment.
The meeting adjourned to present the
resolutions at the capitol.
