LOOMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOW 5
BEFORE"

A special from Washington to the
Charlotte Observer says:
'The meeting of Congress to-day
was uneyentful. All the North Car
DINA Representatives and Senators
were present. 1t is agreed among
the Republican members of the dele
CATION that if Congress carries out
the Presidents civil service policy,
outlined in his message to-day, that
North Carolina will not elect Re
nuhl;can to the next Congress.
"Speaking Of the message in gen.
eral Democrats say that it means
q Republican retreat. and the cleo
tion of a pemocratic Congress in
1903 and a Democratic President
in 1902
T. Wiley Shook, referring to the pre-
diction that the two hundred and fifty
Republican Congressman who are max
ing ugly threats against the civil service
law will not be able to repeal it, says:
eff this be true.. go Of those Com
gressmen Win be blowing bulls and
worming tobacco in place of misrep-
respnting the ,peonle in the Fifty
sixth Congress- Watch the prQfes-
sor.'"
These North Carolina congressman

GRAND TRUNK ANNUAL MEETING.
One Provincial Gets After Management
for Appointing American Manager.

London, October 14-At the semi
annual meeting Of the stockholders of
the Grand Trunk railroad of Canada
today, the attendance was large and
harmonious.
Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, president of
the road, congratulated the stockholders
on the announcement thai the accounts
showed a surplus of sl3, $40. /
He said the prospects of the road were
brighter than for four years past, and
that while the passenger traffic had great
ly decreased owing to the commercial de-
preston, the revenue therefrom had de-
creased but little because of the greater
care taken in collecting tickets.
The increased revenue the president
further explained was due to reforms,
the decreasing of the working expenses,
improved management and the establish
ment OF permanent economics in the
operation Of the road.
The agreement with the Chicago and
Grand Trunk railroad, Sir Charles also
remarked. was less unfavorable than the
agreement of 1896.
The same ratio of improvement, contin-
ued President Wilson, was not expected
for the coming six months, but, he ad-
ded, Canada and the United States were
"
increasing prosperity.
Referring to clause 20, of the Dingley
tariff bill, the President said he was hap
by to announce that Attorney General
McKenna had declared 1T to be ''Uncon
stitutional, thus removing cause of
friction.
The president then expressed the hope
that his proposal to the Central Vermont
bondholders would be accepted and that
O permanent alliance with the Wabash
railroad would be affected.
Mr.. Baker, shareholder attacked
the board of directors, saying that they
did not show any special qualifications
for managing an American railroad.
The condition of the Grand Trunk, Mr..
Baker continued, was due to the reckless
acquisition of subsidiary lines. He was
surprised at the president presenting SO
incomplete a statement and denounced
the appointment Of an American, Mr.
Charles N. Hays, as general manaf ger,
as, he claimed. the management Of Amer
iean railroads was VIGOROUSLY rotten
President Wilson warmly praised Mr.. !.
Hays, saying that the Grand Trunk had
too few Americans in it's employ, butt he
continued, those the road had, were
legion in themselves.
The report was adopted without oppo-
sition.
Grand Trunks Latest Acquisition.
Montreal October 14.-Manager Hays
of the Grand Trunk, in an interview to-
day, states that 1t is too early yet to saw
what changes will take place in the man
acement Of the Central Vermont, but he
said emphatieally chat his plans contem-
plated the autonomy of the railroad.
