Total movement. 1852 21,'


The Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk
railways have locked horns on the matter Of
the traffic north and east Of Chicago, and
the action which the Grand Trunk has
taken will precipitate q war between that
road and its American connections and the
Canadian Pacific and it's 800" line. For
a considerable time past the 500, which has
persistently held aloof from membership in
either the Joint Traffic or Western Passen-
ger associations. has been playing havoc
with the Grand Trunks east-bound bust
ness out of the Northwest, both freight
and passenger. The Grand Trunk, bound
by its connection with the Joint Traffic
and Western Passenger associations, has
been unable to compete on even terms with
the 500, and has suffered accordingly.
This condition Of affairs was laid be-
fore the Grand Trunks president, Sir
visit. by General Manager Hayes, and the
result is that the Grand Trunk has notified
the roads of the Western Passenger Assoc
citation, particularly the Chicago and st.
Paul lines, that it will make through rates
with them to meet 500 competition, and
the result is somewhat of a sensation in
both Eastern and Western railroad circles.
This Independent action taken by the
Grand Trunk, officials of that road say,
does not at all mean that the Grand Trunk
has cut loose from the Joint Traffic or that
it's relations with the association are any
less cordial, However, a big traffic fight
between the Grand Trunk and Canadian
progress will be watched with interest. The
outcome may, perhaps, be the accession of
the 500 to tho Joint Traffic Association,
which would of course end the war,

New Yorh's Anti-scaIping Law.

A Buffalo paper states that scalpers in
New York are still scalping and things
seem to be running along in about the same
way as before the anti-scalping law went
into effect, except that they are not known
to be selling tickets to points n New York
State. They all say that thsy are doing
all the other business that comes their way
but that business is very dull.
Many persons are under the impression
that the scalpers are not open for business
and this may have something to do with
the prevailing dullness. The authorized
railroad offices claim that they are doing
a much larger business since the law went
into effect. and feel confident that they are
slowly killing the broker 1t is not thought
that any OF the brokers of this city will
take advantage of the offer made by the
New York Central and West Shore roads
to redeem all tickets bearing date marks
previous to Sept. l. They would rather hold
them and take chances. To cash them in
they figure, would be a sign of weakening
and they will lose the tickets rather
than create such an impression.

The Gate City, which arrived here
on Monday from Savannah, is the first
steamer going out OF this port to be
equipped with an aurophone, the new
device for enabling the lookout to de-
termine the direction of sounds at
sea. This aurophone was tried on the
way up. but little could be told about
Its utility owing to its being placed in
a poor position. 1t consists of a brass
box, which fits over the mast and
which has projecting from each end a
broad-mouthed funnel. From this box.
close to the tunnels, two tubes like or
binary speaking tubes lead down the
mast and through the main deck to
the deck below. Inside OF the box
there is a complex arrangement of dia-
piragm5 and sounding boards so
pl.ced N,t sound will enter only one
OF the tubes when ii is passing through
The funnel on the opposite side of the
box. On the lower deck is an arrange
ment like an eIgine-room indicator. by
which the box above may be turned
around the mast, and directly under
the indicator is a tell-tale compass.
Inc man below places the tubes to his
ears, where they are held in place
by cap. Unless the tunnels above are
pointing directly toward the sound
which he wishes TO locate he will hear
Ii only fairny and in one ear, because
one of the tunnels being turned from
the sound the tube opposite does not
operate. He then turns the indicator
IN the direction from which the sound
appears TO come. and when the funnel
is pointing directly at the sound it
passes through the funnel and out of
the other, putting both tubes in opera
tioE. and the operator hears the sound
distinctly and in both ears at once.
He theE glances at the indicator and
the point on the tell-tale at which II
rests gives the exact bearing of the
sound.-Boston Transcript.

PARADISE FOR CRIMINALS.
Live In the Open AIR In Comparative
lrerdon

A correspondent writing from Italy
gives some interesting details of the
treatment OF prisoners on various
Italian islands he visited while on a
trip in the Mediterranean, says Lon
don Tid-Bits. Each of these islands
contains several hundred prisoners,
who are locked up every night at SUM-
set, released at daybreak and locked
up again from midday until o'clock.
During the night no prisoner is al
lowed to be absent under any circum-
stances, but at midday those who work
on farms at a distance from the prison
ere allowed TO remain out by special
permission OF the director. During
these free hours the prisoners can go
anywhere they like on the island and
can engage in any work offered them
by the townSpeople or farmers. Any
infractiou OF the rules of ordinary life
around them or of their prison is pun
fshed by Sc 'usion in special cells.
The government furnishes physicians
and medicines. summer and winter
suit OF clothes tn each prisoner every
year and allows him fivepence daily in
money for his food and other neces-
saries of life. Danger of escape is pre-
vented by a squad OF soldiers-one to
every ten criminals-and a swift-sail-
ing felucca. manned by marines On
account of the cheapness of labor the
islands are SO highly cultivated as to
resemble gardens. The correspondent
adds: AS for the prisoners. the open
air makes them the healthiest OF any
criminals l have ever seen. There is
no sign in their faces and bodies OF
that prison blight which strikes every
visitor 10 ordinary jails."

His BROTHERS Revenge.

We are all more or less familiar with
that exasperating class of individuals
who seem to feel that the simple COM
mon sense of the world is conferred in
themselves and that the rest of us are
in need of guidance and direction in
the simplest duties of life.
Mr.. B was a young man Of this
class. He was always painfully pro-
fuse in details regarding anything he
wished done. He had a parrot, OF
which he was excessively fond, and
when he was about to go abroad for
few months. leaving his bird behind.
he bored and exasperated his family
and friends with senseloss details re-
garding the care OF the parrot and his
last words, screeched from the deck OF
the steamer that bore him away, were:

AFRICA. ENGLAND. GERMANY.
Latter Wants the Forest In the Basin
of the Uppe: Congo


of the Ups: Congo.
The object Of Germany at the present
moment is to connect her eastern and
southwestern African possessions, says
the Quarterly Review. To do this she
desires to possess the forest in tho
basin of the Upper Congo-a region
which is rich in copper. If she could
obtain this territory from the Congo
state and narrow strip Of land from
Portugal she would realize her aim:
and If she gets possession of the forests
on he Lualaba and the katanga cop
per mines her colonies may become to
her great source of wealth. England
should definitely make up her mind as
to the attitude she will assume toward
this policy. II she opposes il Germany
Will become persistent enemy. On
he other hand, if she supports ii Ger
many should agree not in any way to
interfere with England south of the
Zambesi and support her heartily N
Egypt. The increase of German pros
perity at home is also an advantage
to us. AS Germany becomes richer she
will become a better customer and less
jealous of the political position. Tho
wages ef German artisans must go up
and consequently Germany will be less
able to underscll us in the open mar
kets of the world. We have now come
TO a state of things as regards tho
German empire when We must either
- Z. drift a
position which will certainly lead TO
danger. The Germans, If they are t.
maintain their possessions beyond the
sea, must either be sure OF the friend
ship and good will of England or else
they will endeavor to break down her
power on the ocean. Since the begin
ming of this year every corner OF the
empire has rung with the most violent
denunciationS OF this country. Ihe
newspapers. with the almost solitary
exception of the Weser Zeitung, have
given expression to feelings OF bitter
hostility. Organs of opinion usually
tie most opposed have We'd with
each other In their violence OF Ian
guage. This i'll feeling to Great Brit
ain, as We have said, has not been
growth of recent times. Ii is now
strengthened by a growing conviction
that the position of England in the
world is undeserved, artificial and
cannot be maintained if it is seriously
menaced. This view has been fostered
by distinguished historians and men OF
letters, who exercise a powerful infiu-
ence on the youth of the country, on
the guides Of public opinion, on writer's
in the principal periodicals and jour-
mails who indirectly shape the policy OF
the cheap newspaper, which is the gos-
pei of the village inn.

go, California; reads as follows:
 All doubt as to the fate of Cap tain George Porter and John John- son, of this city, is settled by the following letter, received today from George w. Beermaker, dated Carbo, Mexico, November 4:
 "I suppose you heard of Captain Porter and his sailor Johnson ot the junk World being killed on Tiburon island. The party bring ing the information says Porter stood up and fought to the last, but Johnson fell at the first volley. Porter killed five Indians before he gave up. He fought like lion. The Indians say he fell i'll his small boat, bleeding from wounds in the head, and they thought he was dead, but he jumped up once more and fired two shots into the band of Indians and then fell over dead.
 "I learn further that if Porter had had an equal or even half a chance he would have given good account of himself, but being so completely outnumbered, and him. self having only shotgun loaded with bird shot, and the Indians hay ing good rifles, he had no show whatever. It was a cold-blooded massacre.
 "The Mexicans have a saying, If you go to Tiburon island you will be killed. and they leave the island strictly alone. So l don t think anything will be done here by the Mexican government.
 "The Mexican who brought the news says that the Indians told him they never saw a man fight as Porter did. He ran for the boat, firing as he went, and bringing down five out of 100 Indians who surrounded him. I don't believe there is any mistake about this re- port, as the Mexican who told me these things had the names of the men and the boat in his memoran- dun book. I hope there might be some error in this, but am afraid the boys are gone"
 A letter was also received from  Consul F. M. Crocker of Guaymas, transmitting the following report written by Martin Mendez, captain of the schooner Otila:
 "As we encountered bad weather and found we had to run for 1t, we returned to the island of Tiburon, anchoring in the lower end of the Boca del Infernillo (mouth of the Little Hell, the strait separating the island from the mainland) where we were favored by the wind.
 "It was about II a. m., when there appeared canoe rowed by Indians who fled immediately when they saw us. We, to satisfy our selves as to who they were, sent out canoe, manned by the mate, Merced Valenzuela, and four sail ors, who followed the Indians about four miles. At the same time we made sure they were Indians, we noted vessel of two masts, which was inside the strait, and as Valenzuela believed 1t was Francis co Boulles' vessel, he drew near it until he discovered that it was an American vessel that had been iu Guaymas, whose owners, certain Americans, were in search of bird faotLorc
The oasis., 1897-11-13

The American vessel was sur rounded by about POO Indians, who were seen by our men to be taking objects from the schooner, but as we could not give help to the Americans on account of the great numbers of the Indians, and be- lieving them to be assassinated, l resolved to return to give the first authority I might encounter in this place an account of the affair.
