MAKING THE FINAL SURVEY
Engineers at Work on the
Brownsville and San Antonio
Road.
San Antonio Express, 18th.

San Antonio Express, 18th.
The work Of making the final sur
yey of the railroad that is to connect
San Antonio and Brownsville was
begun Yesterday afternoon. An en-
gineering party of fourteen men IN
charge of Chief Engineer William
Kennedy left here Yesterday to sur
veY the route of the Chicago, st.
Louis & Texas Air Line, which is
TO extend from Coffeyville, Kan,
through San Antonio and on to
Brownsville.
A preliminary survey of the line
has been made betw cen this city
and Brownsville and the present
survey is the hnai one and as soon
as 1t is completed tie line will be
ready for grading. Final surveys
have already been made OF thu line
from San Antonio to oppenheimer's
pasture. four miles beyond Pleasan-
ton, and the party that went dyes
serday will take up the work here
and push OH to Brownsville.
Mr.. ID. &. Gum Of this city is
president of the company that pro-
poses to build the road, and in an
interview with a reporter for the
Express last night said there was al
soIutely no doubt OF the road being
built if the people along the line
gave the enterprise proper encour
agement and aid. Ample English
capital, he said, had been secured to
build the road and was available as
soon as needed.
lie said right of way agents would
follow the engineering party and.
would complete their work almost
as soon as The engineers which he
thought would be in about a month
or six weeks. As soon as these pre-
liminaries are completed, lie said,
the work of construction would be
begun and pushed rapidly. Instead
of beginning work only at one end
of the line he said the company
would begin at Several places along
the route and build the line in sec
tions and connect them, thus hasten
ing the completion Of the road.
Mr.. Gum said the entire road
from Coffeyville 10 Brownsville
would be built, but that that portion
between San Antonio and Browns
vile would he constructed first.
At Coffeyville the road will make
connection with lines 10 ST. Louis
and Chicago, making a through line
from these points through San An
tonic to Brownsville. The new road
Mr.. Gunn says, viii be constructed
in most substantial manner with
70 pound steel rails:
It's said another party OF capital
lists are planning 10 build road
fTom Brownsville to Mexico City
via Tampico, which would; in con-
neetion with the Chicago, St. Louis
4 Texas Air Line, be the shortest
route ftom ST. Louis and Chicago to
the Gulf OF Tampic6 and to the
Mexican capital.

PANIC AMONG GUESTS.
Fire This Morning in One OF Chicag o's
Largest Hotels.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-At 1:20 o'clock this
morning a fire broke out in the Sherman
House, one Of the largest hotels in the
city, and although all of the guests and
the servants escaped, there was for
time the liveliest kind Of panic among
them. The fire originated in the kitchen
from a gas stove and spread with great
tapidity.
The hotel is now in the course of being
remodelled. the entire first story being
supported by jack-screws. This open
space gave the fire quite a chance, and
the strong breeze that was blowing from
the west famed the fire fiercely. In a
few minutes the entire building was filled
with a dense cloud of smoke. and the
attaches Of the hotel office were hurry
ing through the halls calling on the
guests to prepare to leave. Many of the
guests needed no warning and were in
the halls half dressed and more than
ready to make their escape 10 the open
air as soon as they saw chance TO do so.
There was a wild rush for the street, and
in a few minutes all Of them, in all con-
ditions of undress were in the street, or
safely on their way TO IL.
The servants were located in the
seventh story Of the hotel, and for time
ii looked as though some Of them would
not be able to reach the street in safety
owing to the dense clouds Of smoke that
filled the building. The firemen were
compelled to carry several Of the girls
down two flights of stairs until they
could secure passage way TO the street
that was comparatively free from
smoke. and from this point all of them
manged TO make their escape from the
building without accident.
The flames were confined to the rear
portion OF the hotel and although for
time the fire looked to be dangerous the
nremen soon had il under control. The
damage to the building will not be over

STRONG PLEA FOR IMMIGRATION

Washington. Oct. 13.--Secretary Sher-
man has written a reply to the note
OF Lord Salisbury expressing Great Brit
aims declination to take part in a Beh-
ring sea conference in which Russia and
Japan are TO participate. The essen
have been sent by cable to the British
government. and the reply in full is
now on its way TO the British author
tiles. Lord Salisbury's note OF declina-
ton. ii can now be stated. bore date OF
Oct. 6. last Wednesday, so that the re-
sponse is made with promptness.
The answer states that the United
States government views with astonish-
ment the determination OF Great Brit
ain not to participate in a conference
including Japan and Russia, and the
statement is made that up 10 the 23rd
rof last month the United States au
thorities had fully expected that the
conference would proceed with Russia
and Japan as well as Great Britain
present. 1t is pointed out that. aside
from the written correspondence, TO
which Lord Salisbury had called at
tention, there were verbal negotiations
between Ambassador Hay and his lord
ship in which specific reference was
made to the participation Of Russia and
japan. At one OF these verbal ex-
changes, II is stated, Lord Salisbury
said he would advise with the officials
Of the foreign Office concerning the sub
jects discussed. which included the par
ticipation of Russia and Japan. Sub
sequently, on July 20. Ambassador Hay
wrote to Lord Salisbury saying that the
president hoped TO have Russia and
Japan participate in the conference. In
view OF these circumstances the United
States had confidently expected that
Great Britain would take part in the
conference and that Russia and Japan
would be represented with the approval
Of Great Britain.
Besides the foregoing reply, and In
view of the differences which have
arisen, the state department suggests
a conference in accordance with the
terms OF Lord Salisbury's agreement as
he construes It. namely, between ex-
perts OF Great Britain. the United States
and Canada. This last feature Is now
under consideration by the British gov
ernment. its substance having been
transmitted by cable: but ii is not ex-
pected that an answer " al be made until
Mr.. Sherman's answer in detail reaches
London.
In the meantime preparations for the
conference between the United States
Russia and Japan are proceeding.
While an exact date has not yet been
fixed for the conference. the expecta-
ton is that all the delegates will be
here in time TO bring them together

DECISION INVOLVING MILLIONS.

New York, Oct. 13-The court OF ap-
peals, in the case of Henry w. Sage
against the mayor has handed down a
decision that affects all the land around
the island of Manhattan which was for
merly in the tideway, and which lis
valued at over si5O00,0o0 The suit was
brought by Mr. Sage, who was the
owner of land on the Harlem river.
The city, In carrying out its plan OF i'm
provement. filed in a strip in front of
Mr.. Sage's land in what is known as the
"tideway," that is, the land lying be-
tween the high and low water marks
He claimed that the owners OF land
fronting on the river either owned the
land in the tGeway when IL was filled
in by the city, or. If they did not own it,
they were entitled to the right OF access
from the water to their own upland, even
If the land should be held to extend only
tc high water mark.
The rights of the city in relation TO
the land between high and low water
marks are derived from the Dongan
charter of 1856 and tbs Montgomerie
charter OF 1880. Both Judge Barrett,
who tried the case, and the appellate di-
vision, on an appeal from Judge Bar
rett's decision, held that the city of
New York under these charters had an
absolute ownership of all the land be-
tween low and high water mark. and that
the construction OF an exterior street
and bulkhead by the city gave no right
CT action for damages to an owner of up
land who. by this construction, was cut
off from the water. This decision has
lust been affirmed
