SANTA FE 70 PAY ALI.
Valley Road Stockholders Will Be
Paid Cash Before January l.

San Francisco, Nov. BE. P. Ripley,
president of the Atchison, Topeka. &
Santa Fe, yesterday gave much addi-
tional information concerning the plans
of his road, and settled, so far as posi-
BILE, several mooted questions.
AS regards a positive decision as to
the Santa Fe option with the Valley
road, Mr.. Ripley said:
"a decision has practically been
reached already through the action of
the annual meeting of stockholders to
take place at Topeka, on December 8.
''When and how will the Valley road
stockholders, who have already placed
their stock in escrow, be paid 2?
''They will be paid on or before jan
uary 1, in cash. Those who have not
already come in, representing about g.
400 shares will be allowed a reasonable
length of time in which to deposit their
shares; but the offer will not be held
open indefinitely.
1--WE are compelled by positive agree
ment to pay all stockholders who come
in before January full par value for
their stock.
Should any Of the stockholders de-
cline to put their stock in escrow, they
will hold it as if we had not come into
the matter at all, and get dividends on
it If auy are earned. Their stock will
not be consolidated with ours in any
event-in other words, so far as its
stock is concerned, the Valley road must
always remain separate organiza-
tion.''
How about your proposed arrange
ment with the Southern Pacific for the
use of its tracks between Mojave and
Bakersfield"
Nothing has been determined as yet.
It is still in the air, with prospects
against it. I do not even know when it
will be further considered
Have you come to any conclusion as

ALL is HARMONIOUS.
Reports of Friction Between Cubans
and Mckinley are Untrue.

Washington, Nov. S-President Masso
of the Cuban provisional government has
cabled from Santa Cruz del Sur to Senior
Quesada, secretary of the Cuban delega-
ton here, saying:
Assembly has not yet met owing to the
absence of a quorum
This was called out by an inquiry by
Senior Quesada about reports coming by
way of Santiago, representing the Cuban
assembly as in session at Santa Cruz del
Sur and engaged in important questions
relating to the future of the island, the
disarmament of the Cuban army and the
extent of cooperation between the former
insurgent forces and the United States
authorities. It had been stated that the
assembly organized by choosing General
Garcia as presiding officer, thus indicaI-
ing that the military element under Cen
eral Garcia would dominate the assembly.
Senior Quesada was considerably surprised
at these reports, as he was likely to be
assembly, Particularly as he has heen
chosen a member of the assembly, repre-
portant province Of Puerto Principe lie
accordingly telegraphed President Masso
for information and the foregoing answer
There are evidences that President Nc
Kinley has assurances that the action Of
the Cuban provisional government VIII not
be antagonistic to the policy at Washing
execution of that policy. Senior Quesada
is satisfied that this will be the course of
and it is probable that he reached this
view during a recent interview with Sec
rotary Hay at the state department. In
the event of leaving Washington to at
tend the assembly at Santa Cruz del Sur,
It will be with the special purpose Of Sc
curing cooperation between the authori-
ties there and here and of overcoming
friction which may arise. Speaking of
the Cuban assembly Mr.. Quesada said:
1T is only the first step toward a regu-
lar and constitutional form of govern
ment, and it. will give way later to an
assembly truly representative of all the
people Of Cuba. For the present, Presi-
dent Masso has called together this pro-
yisional body, which is necessarily crude
because of the unsettled condition of af-
fairs in Cuba. It is however, not mill.
a membership of As being from the mill
tary ranks. The others are from civil
life, doctors, lawyers and planters, and
represent the best elements of the COM
munity. This assembly will not form
constitution, but will provide for a con-
stitutional convention which will take up
the important work of framing a constf-
tuition and establishing permanent gov
eminent for the island
With this programme in view, it is hard
~ expected that the question of annex
ing Cuba to the United States will assume
large proportions for the present, but will
remain in allegiance until the Cuban gov
eminent is sufficiently well established to
permit it to express the wishes of the
people of Cuba on the question Of annex
alton.

SANTA FE REPORT.
Gives Reasons for the Purchase of
the Bakersfield Route.

Chicago, Nov. 3.-The directors of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway
have just issued a. circular to stock
holders giving reasons for the purchase
of the San Francisco & San Joaquin
Valley railroad. The directors say:
1.-THE road, in its unfinished condition,
with no connections south of Bakers
field and without access to San Fran
CISCO except by the use of boats from
Stockton has earned more than it's OPP
Grating expenses and taxes. It's earn
ings will be largely increased when
completed to San Francisco and it's re-
ceipts Of the through business of the
Atchison system to and from that city
and other points in Northern California.
IF it shall be found necessary to con-
struct connecting link between Bakers
field and some point of intersection with
the Atchison system of California,
means therefor can be provided either
by using general mortgage bonds re-
served for extension purposes or by an
issue of bonds upon the new line. It is
the expectation of your directors, how
ever, that such construction will not be
required, as trackage rights over the
existing line between Bakersfield and
Mojave, sixty eight miles, can prob
abIV be obtained"

WANTS MORE DAMAGES.
Chas. st. Clair Not Satisfied With an
$1,000 Verdict AGAINST the KatY.

Parsons, Nov. 3.-Chas. st. Clair is in
the city from Texas where he has been
for some time in connection with his lit
igation with the Katy. In his damage
suit he secured a verdict for eight thou
sand dollars for damages received by
being crippled for life. He will insti-
tute another suit against the Katy in
this county for damages. He claims
that when he went from this city to
Texas to appear in his suit he bought
a ticket, and was not even permitted
to lie on a stretCher in the baggage car
or be permitted to lie down in a coach.
He was finally taken off a stretcher and
put in a sleeper, and in consequence
suffered a relapse.
St. Clair claims that he had only
short time to get to Dallas before his
case was called, and claims that the OBJ
ject was to prevent his getting there
and delay matters. In consequence of
this treatment he claims to have lain
at Dallas in a precarious state for sew
eraI weeks and suffered intensely and
accordingly will ask heavy damages.

The Admission of Hawaii.

The joint resolution for the annex
alton of Hawaii passed the Senate
Wednesday by vote of exactly two
one. The long campaign of the mi
nority to block the completion of a
union which has been inevitable for
half a century, came to sudden end.
The opposition broke down unexpect-
edly, and almost before they knew it
those who had been making the fight
for annexation had carried their point,
and the incorporation of Hawaii into
the American empire had become a
settled and irrevocable fact. The Pres
ident's policy is we'll known, and with
the passage OF the resolutions last
Thursday the last obstacle is overcome
to our acquiring what Captain Mahan
describes as the one strategic position
in the North Pacific, shut out from
which ''an enemy is thrown back for
supplies of fuel to distances of $500 or
1000 miles-or between 1000 and 5000
going and coming-an impediment to
sustained maritime operations we'll
nigh prohibitive.
Over such a vote all Americans may
we'll rejoice, for it gives permanently
and legally to the United States priv
ileges which it has been obliged in
this war to take in defiance of inter
national law and by trespassing on the
good will of the islanders, who in ex-
pectation of absorption, placed their
territory at our disposal. Had they
been less complaisant we should have
been in sore straits in sending relief
to Admiral Dewey, and if after refus-
ing to annex Hawaii we ever again
should have had trouble in the Orient
we should probably have been obliged
to take by force what is now given us.
AS it is, we have the necessary half
, way station to China and Manila. II
we keep the Philippines, Hawaii is
absolutely essential to our communl'
q cations. If we release our hold on
h them, it still remains the incompar

Military Courage.

The question Of the comparative pro-
portion of really brave men in any army
will probably never be determined.
Great officers ON the continent keep
their knowledge on that subject rigor-
ously as professional secret and as
sumo as certainty that all soldiers are
brave. They know very well, however,
that they are not, and when confiden-
tial will admit, as Marshal Won Moltke
once did in public, that with great
number it takes discipline, and severe
discipline, too, to induce them to face
shells unshrinkingly. American officers
have been known to acknowledge that
of their men, who are as brave as any
in the world, 90 per cent would run
away if they could. and in every army,
even ours, which man enters only OF
free will, there is a certain proportion
who literally cannot overcome theil
fears. They are stricken with a sort Of
paralysis The proportion is probably
not high in any army, the majority, i
in health, being able to do their duty
and having intense motives to do 1t, bu
neither is the proportion high Of thos'
who literally feel no fear.-Londoi

The French Line steamship La
BOurgogne, which sailed from New
York Saturday week for Havre, crashed
into the British ship Cromartyshire on
the morning of July at 5 o'clock,
about sixty miles south of Sable
Island, sustaining fearful injuries,
from the effects of which she went to
the bottom in less than three quarters
of an hour. Out of the 735 souls ON
board the steamer only 164 were saved.
There were seventy women passengers
and of these only one, Mrs. A. d. La
Casse, of Plainfield, n. j., was rescued.
Nearly half of the men saved were
members of the crew of the steamship.
The survivors of the disaster tell
wellnigh incredible tales of the abject
panic that followed the crash, and of
the frantic cOwardice and cruelty dis
played by the members of the crew and
some of the steerage passengers, many
of whom were Italians. Several wit
nesses agree that the majority of the
passengers might have been saved if
they had not been beaten away from
the boats and struck off from the life
rafts by the panic-stricker sailors.
Some of the passengers were stabbed
by Italians from the steerage as they
were attempting to reach the boats and
the RATS. The women and children
received less consideration than the
men, but in spite of the awful panic
the women are said to have been com
paratively cool.
The accident occurred in dense fog
when La BourgOgne was rushing
through the water at q high rate OF
speed. She struck the CrOmartyshire
on her starboard side. Only five OF
the ships officers were saved, and the
survivors say that they displayed cool
ness, but were unable to quell the
panic. Captain Deloncle was ON the
bridge as the ship sank with terrific
explosion of her boilers. The Gro
martyshire hove to and her crew res
cued those who were saved. On Mon
day afternoon the Allan-State steame
, Grecian was sighted and towed tn
| Cromartyshire to Halifax. Among tn
J lost were Mrs. Dillon and Mrs. Dill

NEWPORT,

grenadines are much worn, because
they have the light effect of lawns or
organdies, without losing their stiff
ness. The taffeta silk lining is also
pre-eminently adapted to keeping
out" the dress and is a safeguard
against the limp appearance which is
so antagonistic to fashionable smart
ness. Nets over taffeta are also
greatly in vogue. Many black gren-
adine or net dresses are rendered gay
by guimpes of white, pink or blue
satin tucked or laid under lace, and il
is quite in order to simulate a guimpt
effect by yoke fastened on under the
trimming. By supply of these in
dependent yokes to be worn with diff
ferent dresses, great additional variety
is possible and wool gowns that other
wise would be objectionably grave
