Editor Jones Big Scheme

Kansas City, Mo-, July 8
Col. Charles H. Jones. late of
the St. Louis POST Dispatch, is
at the head of a scheme for the
establishment Of two new free
silver dailies in Missouri, one in
St. Louis and one in Kansas City
Stilson Hutchins, who has long
been casting longing eyes at the
Western newspaper field, and
who has made several prospect
ing trips to Kansas City, is to
have a hand in the deal, but in
what capacity is not announced.
Jones has 800. 600 that was
paid to him two weeks ago by
Joseph Pulitzer, of the New
York World, for releasing his
hold on the ST. Louis Dis
patch. Hutchins is anxious TIC
invest, and both are said to have
strings on plenty of capital to
carry out the plan. Both the
new dailies are to be morning
papers. They will be strong
Bryan organs, and will appear
about September 1.
II i, is found impossible to
secure Associated Press fran
>chises some Eastern alliance vii
be formed, possibly with the
New York Sun and the Western
fela, covered by two papers in
combination. The scheme has
the backing of the Democratic
Party of Missouri,

LIGHT IN ASIA

While the phenomenal develop
ment of Africa is attracting SO
much attention it should not be
forgotten that wonderful material
development is going on in Asia.
Russia is building one Of the
greatest railroads in the world
across the entire continent which
seems to be waking from a sleep
of centuries.
"The Chinese Eastern Railway
company, which is to construct a
railway from the western frontier
Of Hei-Lung-Chiang to the east
ern frontier of Kirin, in Man
churia, to connect with branches
of the Siberian railway, has re-
Gently been financed by the Rus
so-Chinese bank, and work is to
begin Immediately. Several other
railway lines from Pekin south
ward to Hankow, from Shanghai
to Nankin and Hankow, and
in various other directions
are now being surveyed under the
direct supervision Of the Chinese
government. The branch of the
great Siberian railway through
Manckuria will open an enormous
market for agricultural products
of China, besides giving to Rus
STA an all-the-year-round seaport
at thePacifc terminus Of it's trans
sentimental railway. Another
railroad project recently launched
by Russia is for a line connect
ting the Southern provinces of
European Russia with the Indian
ocean and Forming a military and
strategic highway of vast impor-
lance"
These wailways are all being
constructed by governments and
will be under government di-
rection and control. It is pos
sible that excellent returns will
come from the many millions of
dollars thus invested. Siberia is
very Eich in mineral wealth and
the Chinese provinces which are
to be opened byrailroads are in
Il of the most fertile regions of
