MILEAGE TICKETS
Purchasers Hereafter Only Pay as
They Go on Western Lines.

At the next meeting of the Western
Passenger association will be discussed
the report of committee on inter
changes BILE mileage tickets. This COM
mittee was appointed several weeks
ago to ascertain whether any improve
ment could be made in the present
ticket. Regarding the matter a pro-
minent TRAFFIC official of one OF the
Western lines said:
"There have been several attempts
to introduce various new forms of mile
age tickets. but the present inter-
chaugeable mileage ticket system in
use on Western lines has been so salts
factory to the m jority of the railways
and to the ms jority of persons, both
commercial travellers aud others who
make frequent and numerous trips,
that there will be little or no change,
except perhaps lightimprovement in
the character of the ticket. The prin-
ciple however should be the same.
The present ticket gives to each rail-
way line an absolute check upon its
own revenues, and secures each rail-
road line the entire revenue to which
it is entitled IN the sale of interchange
able mileage tickets. Any change to
the old system OF a mileage strip
ticket might, perhaps embarrass
the holder of such q ticket. The OBJ
jections which commercial men urge
to the old strip ticket is the fact that
the railroad companies receive advance
payment for a ticket which might not
be used within the year, and that the
railroad companies hsve an undue ad-
vantage in having money to use and
interest on the money before perform
ing the service. The present ticket
does away with that objection as the
passenger may pay his money at the
alma ha m his trim and the rail-
way company performs the entire ser
vice within q very few hours after the
money is paid for the transportation"

TIE new chair cars which the Santa
Fe Is building at their shops in Topeka
are nearing completion. One OF the
cars No. 1543 has already been sent to
the paint and trimmin shop and the
others will follow in their natural Or

These cars are without doubt the
finest cars that have been turned out
of the Topeka shops and when entirely
finished will be equal to the best Pull

American and English Engines.

There was a time when the chimney
was an infollible Indication of British
or American parentege. But 1--WE have
changed all that" The huge inverted
cone and the double cone, or diamond,
surrounding cylindrical column r.
which used to be the typical American
smoke stack, have been succeeded by q
chimney which differs little If at all in
Britain. The extended smoke box,
which in America replaced the single
inverted or double cone as a spark
catcher, has travelled now to Great
Britain as we'll, and may be found on
the Great Western, Northeastern and
Glasgow Southwest lines.
In short, the distinctive features of
the British and American systems are
now but few. There l., l think, a
growing tendency toward assimilation
between the systems of the two Eng
lish speaking nations, so far as this
is feasible in view of the difference in
the conditions to be satisfied. England
has not the long journeys of America
or the American lOading-gauge space
which would permit of large vertical
or lateral extension of existing maxi
mum dimensions. But 1 certainly an
ticipate tina the present Importation
of the Midland, Great Central and
Great Northern line Of American Mo-
gul good engines will have an ap-
preciable influence upon the future OF

Club. These are the principal trophies for
which the expert whist players have con-
tended during the tournament, the east
being Ditted against the west.
Aside from the championship struggles,
the most important work of the congress
was the adoption of the league long suit
system of play the standard for cham
pionshp contests. There is no intention of
making the system compulsory. Con-
testants will still be free to play by what
ever system they desire. The league sys-
tenn simply furnishes the standard by
which any variation from that style of
playing may be classified. Action was also
taken recognizing women as eligible con-
testants. Heretofore women players have
been permitted to share in the contests
only as a matter of courtesy.

pected. will be held at Niagara Falls the

NEW TREATY WITH JAPAN.
That Country on New Footing Wit
the World at LARGE.

a new treaty between the United States
ard Japan went into effect today, as do also
new treaties between Japan and nearly all
the countries of Europe and some of the
South American republics. 1t is an event of
far-reaching Importance in the relations
between Japan and the United States as it
Goes away with the treaty methods which
have been in vogue for nearly fifty years
and substitutes an entirely new method of
procedure. The same is true in the rela-
tons of Japan with other countries. Taken
as a whole the many new treaties which go
into effect today place Japan on an en-
tirely new footing with the world at large
as she Is recognized for the first time as
an equal in every respect.
Mr. Jutaro Komura. the japanese min
lister in Washington, has made a statement
in which he says:
The 18th of July marks the turning
point IN the diplomatic history not only of
Japan. but of the oriental countries in gen.
eral. 1t will be the first instance in which
the western powers have recognized the
fuIl sovereignty of an oriental state. This
action of the enlightened nations of Eu-
rope and America shows that if any coun-
try Is ready to assume full share In the
responsibility and affairs of the world at
large these old and enlightened powers are
ready to admit such a country to full
comfy among nations. So We regard the
advent OF this treaty as very important
nations of the east
The first step in the new system is to
put an end TO the old friction of extraterri-
torlality. by which foreign citizens were
judged by different standards from Japan
csc The second essential thing is the
opening of the entire interior of Japan to
foreign residents and trade. Until now
there have been only five treaty ports
Yokohama, Nagasaki, Kobe, Hakodate and
Nlgata- In these places foreigners had
been able 10 live, to purchase property and
to trade, but outside of there could not
even travel without a special permit These
hVe places are an insignificant part of
Japan. HencefOrth the entire interior of
the empire. with its populous cities and
inviting fields of industry, is thrown open
TO foreigners. They may live anywhere en-
gage IN any kind of business and will be
assured OF the same protection TO life and
property that is given to the Japanese
In bringing about the new system of
treaties Japan naturally feels most friend
~ toward the United States, because she
Always mas shown most sympathetic in
tereSt in Japans desire to adopt modern
methods and to deal on even terms with
the rest of the world. The messages of
several OF the Presidents have spoken in
most friendly terms of this matter And
so, as the government and people of the
United States have taken such friendly
interest under the old system, / hope and
believe that the United States government
ana people Will take most friendly inter-
est IN the carrying out of the new treaty."

THE CITY POST OFFICE FIRE.
Waste Soaked in Terpentine Left in
Work mans OveraIIs the Cause.

The committee appointed by Secretary
Gage on Saturday TO report upon the fire
in the new city post office building mas
made Its report, which is signed by Theo-
oore F. Swayze, Charles Kemper, Richard
Fourchy and f. H. Jamson.
The committee gives the opinion that the
fire was caused by spontaneous combus-
tion,- and says: "E. X. Cromwell one Of
the workmen engaged in the room I'm plac-
ing and finishing furniture, stated that he
fore removing his overalls in the afternoon
when he left work he picked up piece of
waste that the painters had thrown away
ana. alter pouring some turpentine on his
hands to remove the oil and dirt, he wiped
them On this waste and put it in the pocket
of his oNeralls. He then took the oNeralls
off and rolled them up with his dust brush
ana put them IN small valise with his
shoes. and shut the valise up and put IL in
one OF the file asses. 1t is the unanimous
opinion of the committee that the fire was
caused by the spontaneous combustion Of
this waste, which was saturated with iur-
pentine and oil and closed up in the Valise."

Mexican woman, the Sonora Ray Cas-

widowhOOds. She has worn the weeds seven

different have been the causes of death by
which her seven spouses quilted this wick

thereof. II would almost seem that the fair
sonora was somewhat of 'hoOdoo" to the
genus husband Her first husband fell out
OF carriage, her second took poison by
accident. the third persisted by a mining
accident. the fourth shot himself. the fifth
was killed while hunting the sixth met his
death by dropping from a scaffolding and
The seventh was drowned. AS the sonora

pave been hers from her varied matri-
tnoniat-ventures were she a resident of
