According to the British consular
reports presented to Parliament the
railroad from Jaffa to Jerusalem has
proved. a far greater commercial sue
cess than was anticipated even by
those who Wer0eSp ost sangnne about
its future. Itbas carried more than
twenty thousand tons of merchan-
disc TO Jerusalem during the last SIX
months, and has led to the invasion
of the Holy City by some eighty to
one hundred drummers, four OF
whom were Americans, eight Eng
lish, and about fifty German.
Moreover, public works are proceed
ing apace in Palestine, and the
River Jordan is now spanned by
handsome bridge, while steamboat
travel up and down the stream anc
likewise traverse the often stormy

A few weeks ago tie city OF Baton
Rouge defeated the proposition OF
levying Eve mill tax in favor OF the
Central Louisiana Railroad Co., a
road to run from Alexandria to East
Baton Rouge, and the shops &C.,
we're to be in East Baton Rouge.
The city found out its mistake when
it was too late. The Business Men

capitalists, but they refused, and SC
President Welsh will change the To-
cation OF the road, and Baton Rouge
