IMPORTANT CONCESSION
TO A SYNDICATE OF AMERICAN
CAPITALISTS.
A Franchise Which Means Muct
to This and the Honduras
Governments.

| WASHINGTON, Aug 23.-Consul
Jargonan of Utillah, Honduras, has
sent to the State Department a report
upon an important concession by the
| Honduras Government granted to the
Honduran syndicate. This corporation
| is composed, says the Consul, of well
known capitalists and financiers of the
| United States, mostly located in New
York. The syndicate has deposited
with the Government of Honduras $50
| 600 in gold as a. guarantee that it will
carry out dts part of the concession
The Honduras Government has noti-
| fed all it's 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 existing tariff dur
| ing the next five years without the
consent of the syndicate. This in
crease was equal to doubling rates on
many articles and was almost prohib-
tive on others.
| The syndicate will oversee the collec-
ton of all duties, and pay Honduras
stipulated sum in lieu Of the collec-
tions The syndicate viii 1iquidate the
foreign (nationaD debt within a given
time, and will open offices in Europe
for this purpose. The foreign debt Of
Honduras amounts to several millions.
| The syndicate is authorized to con-
struct a railroad from Puerto Cortez
to the Bay of Fonseca, on the Pacific
Coast, with such branch lines as it
may desire. The Honduras Govern
ment comedies to the syndicate the
trailroad and all its appurtenances, now
being operated thirty 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 syndi-
cate whether as main or branch lines,
the lands to be located contiguous TO
the road and in alternate sections, OF
at any point desired by the syndicate.
| Consul Jargonan says thar this gives
to the syndicate the most valuable
| franchise that could Le obtained in
Honduras. The syndicate. he says,
has the power to build a narrow gauge
| transcontinental road and operate it
for ninety-nine years, and is not re-
stricted as to route. Tt is also given
the right to organize and operate banks
and conduct a general banking busi-
ness, and to bring IN 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 rich country
never developed, furnishing an outlet
for American enterprise and American
capital. 'It means" he said. "abso-
lutte control of the trade by the Unit
ed States. It means the domination Of
Americans not only in trade but in all
| else even TO national destiny"

Mrs. Paget's Triumph.

Blazing as every woman did with su-
perb Jewels at the fancy dress ball of the
Duchess of Devonshire, each titled dame
having decked herself with all of the
family diamonds for this unique occa-
sion. there was one Woman-and an
American at that-who outshone them
all. She was Mrs. Arthur Paget, daugh-
ter of the late Mrs. Paran Stevens,
whose husband was the former bonifice
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel She ap-
peared at the ball dressed at Cleopatra
Her adornment made a sensation She
was literally clothed in diamonds and
other Jewels. 1t is pretty well known in
London that the vast majority of the
gems she wore were merely borrowed for
the night from a well-known jeweler in
Bond street She blazed from head to
foot with diamonds, rubies, sapphires
and emeralds, all of them of great size,
and it was generally admitted that in
all the modern history of London So
ciety no woman had ever succeeded in
decking herself with so immense a guam
tity of gems of such colossal value. In
deed, Mrs. Paget is asserted on that
night to have worn about $4,000 900
and, it is alleged, she was kept under
the surveillance of detectives that en-
tire night.

"And the children?" cried Lesley,
breathlessly.
'I carried both from the hut"
Tt is scarcely necessary to say that
we ran as fast as the uneven. narrow
forest Path and the mist would allow
us to do. The distance was not great.
Diego's hut stood on our side of his
masters plantation, a long way from
that gentleman's bungalow. Emerg-
ing from the forest, we rushed across
the clearing. With his gun at the
ready, Lesley entered first. He had
outstripped both Diego and me. I
heard two shots. Lesley met us at the
door.
"I've killed the brute" he said:

still breathed. But she was fearfully

Coaching on Long Island.

The fall coaching season promises TO
be a. brilliant one SO far as Long Is
land is concerned. Already a number
of long distance trips have been ar
ranged by several of the most expert
drivers of four-in- hand equippages. AS
a never failing source of outdoor enjoy
ment and as a medium for expert and
artistic handling of the ribbons,
coaching remains the most fancled
sport of the wealthy folk who make
their summer homes on Long Island.
More popular than at any of the ia
nous resorts has the dashing art Of
coaching been this year in such warm
weather colonies as Hampstead, Shin
necock, Babylon and Southampton.
Our velvety meadows of deepest en-
erald and under the shadow of ancient
elms and naples there runs, clear cut
and smooth, a. great winding turnpike
for almost the entire length of upper
Long Island; an ideal road for coach
ing. Along this inviting highway at
least one of the familiar four wheeled
vehicles can be seen any sunshiny day.
The golf craze on the island developed
to enormous proportions this summer,
and early in the season threatened to
annihiIate coaching altogether, but the
''whips" have managed to hold their
own, and at the moment, while golfing
tournaments are occupying everybody's
attention. half a score of coaches put
out with a load of gay passengers ev-
cry clear day in the week. Bicycling
has never been considered seriously by
the "chaI pies; they wheel, of course,
but exhibit no enthusiasm for the silent
steed: for the wealthy sojourners on
Long Island the wheel is looked upon
as a means of exercise rather than
genuine sport. There seems to be no
inclination on the part of the country
gentlemen, either on Long Island or
elsewhere, to renounce his horses.
