RICH CONCESSIONS
Syndicate Granted Priv
ileges in Honduras.
Railroad and Land Grants Made
Duties to be Collected by
Corporation.

WASHINGTON, August 23.-Consul
Jargonan of UtiIlah, Honduras, has
sent to the State Department report
upon an important concession by the
Honduras Government. granted to the
Honduras Syndicate. This corporation
is composed, says the Consul, of we'll
known capitalists and financiers of the
United States, mostly located in New
York. The syndicate has deposited
with the Government of Honduras $780,
900 in gold as a guarantee that it will
carry out its part of the concession.
The Honduras Government has noti-
fed all its Collectors of Customs and
other officials that the increase of duty,
authorized in April last, to take effect
August 1st, will not be collected, as
the concession provides that there shall
be no increase in the existing tariff
during the next five years without the
consent Of the syndicate. This increase
was equal to double the present rates
on many articles, and was almost pro-
hibitive on others.
The syndicate will oversee the collec-
ton of all duties and pay Honduras a
stipulated sum in lieu of collections.
The syndicate will liquidate the for
eign debt, which amounts to several
millions, within given time and will
open offices in Europe for this purpose.
The syndicate is authorized to con-
struct and operate railroad from Pu-
erto Cortez to the Bay of Fonseca, on
/ the Pacific Coast, with such branch
! lines as it may desire.
The Honduras Government comedies
to the syndicate the railroad and all its
appurtenances, now being operated &c
miles or more out from Puerto Cortez
the right of way to the Fonseca Bay
and a subsidy of 5000 acres of land for
each mile of road built and operated by
the syndicate, whether as main or
branch lines, the lands to be located
contiguous to the road and in alternate
sections. or at any point desired by the
| SynQlcaJe.
Consul Jargonan says that this gives
to the syndicate the most valuable
franchise that could be obtained in
Honduras. The syndicate, he says, has
the power to build a narrow-gauge
transcontinental road and operate it
for SO years, and is not restricted as to
route. 1t is also given the right to
organize and operate banks and con-
duct a general banking business and to
bring colonists, WHO, however, must
not be negroes.
The Consul says that this concession
means much to Honduras and the
United States, and describes in detail
how it will open up a rich country
never developed, furnishing an outlet
for American enterprise and American
capital
"It means" he said, absolute con.
troll of the trade by the United States
It means the domination of Americans
not only in trade, but in all else, ever
to national destiny"

gartner. has accepted the charge OF
that department of the work and will
arrive from Japan about the 14th.
Miss Kinney's two years training in
! Chicago, including some experience at
Hull House, was an admirable prepar-
alton for the work here The associ-
alton must regret her resignation,
which goes into effect as soon as some
one else can be secured for the Hawai-
ian room. Her genuine interest in the
kindergarten, however, will make her
a strong ally, even after her successor
is installed.
Mrs. T. r. Walker has most admira-
bly, shown her interest in Free Kinder
gartens. At yesterdays meeting it was
unanimously voted that she be asked to
reconsider her resignation, her depart
ure for England having been post
poned. 1t is understood that she has
expressed her willingness to renew her
connection with the Board of Officers.
Mrs. O. P. Emerson was appointed
to the Publication Committee, and Mrs.
Henry E. Cooper, Mrs. w. o. Atwater
and Mrs. w NJ. Graham were chosen
to fill the places of absentee members
on the Committee on Buildings and
Grounds.
Mrs J. NJ Whitney, Mrs. Wells Pet
erson and Mrs. w. A. Bowen were re-
quested to serve as a Nominating Com
mittee for the yearly election of Of
fcers in October. An interesting pro-
gram is being prepared for this annual
meeting of the whole association, to
be held on the 1st day of October at
the Y. NJ. c. A Hall.

time in the history of the trade rela-
tions with Japan, the United States is
entitled to be considered as serious
competitor with Europe. A recent Brit
ish report from the legation at Toxic
reviews the foreign trade of Japan
during the past year. In the supply OF
machinery, rails, nails and pig-iron,
the United States assumed a leading
place. The British report pointed out
that American railway builders were
likely to receive a great number OF
orders during the year.

British TinpIate Manufacturer to
Move to United States.
The American Consul General, Os-
borne, at London, says in New York
dispatch that the invoices of exports
filed in his office since the new United
States tariff became law have de-
creased so per cent. Only in the case
of diamonds and other jewels has there
been an increase. A large business
has sdeveloped in jewelry, which here
tofore has mostly been smuggled into
the United States through Canada, no
consignment having been recorded for
a long time Mr.. Osborne thinks the
dealers made up their minds that it is
more profitable to pay the lower Ding
ley rates than to incur the costs and
risks of smuggling.
The Consul-General hears that
leading tin-plate manufacturer is go
ing TO transfer his business to the Unit
ed States, on account of the tariff; and
that some wooden manufacturers are
going to do the same and for the same
cause.
