Storage yards could be provided between
the main tracks south of and near tae de-

by railroads other than the Baltimore and
Potomac, If not by that road.
A convenient freight station could lie To-
Gated on squares 800 and 2.E), owned, except
one lot, by the Southern Railway Com

the other plans. there would be a call to

HIS MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM
DEATH.
Taken To the Hospital With Badly
Burned Face and Hands-Quinn is
Tired of Life.

Peter Quinn better known around
town as Poker Dam" was taken to
the Queens Hospital at an early hour
this morning in a critical condition as
u result of an explosion.
Shortly after o'clock this morning
Quinn, who is a contractor. went to a
down town store and purchased -
sticks of giant powder and pounds
of black powder. He went direct to
the Empire house on Nuuanu street.
where he had contract to excavate
cesspool He dug a hole. only a few
feet away from the Chinese store to
the rear of the Empire house. and put
the twelve sticks of giant powder in
it. To one of these sticks was attach
ed long fuse and around it Quinn
packed the black powder. He then de-
liberately set fire to the powder.
Senior Police Captain Parker nves-
tigated the explosion. He discovered
that only the black powder had caus-
ed the damage; the giant powder still
remaining intact.
1t is the belief of the police author
tiles that Quinn intended suicide. He
has been acting strangely of late and
has lamented considerably over his
wife's actions.
He was dressed in his best clothes
today and everything points to self
destruction, so the police say.

PROSPERITY. AND NEGRO LABOR

PROSPERITY, AND NEGRO LABOR
The South is making rapid progress
in cotton manufacturing, says the Sa-
vannah News. The southern mills
took 1,042,G71 bales last year, and the
northern mills 1,S04,6SO bales. There
has been a remarkable increase in the
consumption by southern mills, In
estimating the growth of cotton man
ufacturing in the South the fact that
ten years ago the southern mills took
only 100000 bales must not be over
looked. An increase of more than co.
600 bales a syear for the last decade
means that the time is not far dis
tant when the South will manufact-
ure the greater part of her cotton
crop.
And we shall not be surprised if
the colored people eventually play al
most as prominent a part in the cot
ton mills as they do now in the cot
ton fields. 1t may take generation
or more to train them for mill work
but when trained they will furnish
cheaper labor than can be had at the
north, or perhaps even in Europe.
That being the case the world may
come to depend upon the south for
cotton fabrics. The possibility and
even the probability of such a thing
is what strengthens the belief that
the south eventually will be the rich
est section of the country.

A SANTA FE STATEMENT.
Reasons Why IT Opposes a Proposed Re-
ducdon of Freight and Passenger
Rates.

Topeka, KANs., Feb. 4-The Santa
Fe Railroad Company this afternoon sent
a memorial to the Legislature on the pro-
posed railroad legislation. The memorial
is signed by E. P. Ripley, and among
other things it says:
The largest taxpayer and the largest
single interest in your State appeals ior
justice-it wants nothing more. Its in
terests are indissolubly involved with
those of your constituents 1t can only
prosper as the State prospers; its prop
erty cannot be removed. 1t has suffered
in the depression of recent years as
severely as any interest in the State; it is
now struggling to earn for Its owners not
an adequate return for capital invested in
it, which is impossible under present
conditions, but small interest on
fraction of its cos. In earlier and more
prosperous times the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe, like most of its fellow
citizens in Kansas, permitted itself to ex-
pand too greatly, for it built railroads as
citizens built towns-in the belief that
they could be sustained. The belief
proved to be fallacious, and as conse-
quence the Atchlson, Topeka and Santa
| Fe has upon its hands some 250O miles of
| road in Kansas, much OF which does not
pay operating expenses, and nearly half
| of which contributes little or nothing to
payment of interest on the company's
debt. Yet there is not one of these
branches that does not serve many COM
| munities, not one so poor that citizens of
| its territory could do without 1t, so we
all must stay in Kansas and hope for
| better times"
The memorial, which is very lengthy,
then goes into the situation in detail,
giving figures to show that reduction in
the present freight and passenger rates
would not only be unreasonable, but
| would make it impossible for railroads to
90 business and pay operating expenses,
| and in the case of branch lines drive them
| absolutely out of existence.
Mr.. Ripley offers to throw open all the
books of the company to prove his state
ments regarding the condition OF the

HAVANA. CUBA, Feb. 4.-The trial of
DR.. Casper Betancourt, who was arrested
on Decembe Der last as a political suspect,
took place to-day, and resulted in his &C
qittal.
He was at once released, but was placed
at the disposal of the civil Governor. Il
is suspected that DR.. Betancourt was act
ing as a go-between for the insurgents and
their sympathizers in the United States.
There was no evidence produced at the
trial to prove that he was connected in
any way with the rebellion.
The steamer Manuela arrived here to-
day from Nuevitas, province of Puerto
Principe. She brought twenty-five politi-
cal prisoners, including five ladies who
are relatives of prominent insurgents.
The men were imprisoned at police
headquarters, and the women were placed
in the house of refuge.
As soon as Consul General Lee learned
that Sonora Rodriguez, who is an AmerI-
can lady. was among the prisoners he re-
quested her immediate release, basing his
request upon a promise made by the
Government when she was arrested. 1t
is expected that she will be liberated to-
morrow.
James w. Luckenbill, a musician of
Porterville, Pa, committed suicide at the
Saratoga Hotel here by shooting himself
through the heart. Consul General Lee
took charge of the body and ordered its
burial
