man were futile, but he caught Tom on
the ropes and caught a light left on
the nose. Tom came to the center of
the ring and tried left and right without

kept sidestepping and evaded Toms
efforts for a left hook or a swing very
cleverly. Mccoy put a light left on
Toms face when near the ropes on the

The question is not new one; it has
been bothering railroad men for years.
but no practical plan for a solution has
ever been offered, unless it is the pres
ent scheme of shifting the responsibility
to the express companies. BY the rules
of the railroads a corpse is carried in
baggage cars at one regular first class
fare. In addition the body must be ac-
companied by an attendant holding
first class transportation. This
means that two full first-class tickets
are necessary to transport a corpse for
any distance. BY a recent arrangement
between an express company and one
of the roads out of this city the rates
were arranged so that it would cost
much less to ship a body via the ex-
press company than via the railroad.
Local railroad officers however, are not
unanimous in the opinion that this bus

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE
Building Railroads and Cotton Mills
in Ecuador

Washington, Jan. minister Samp-
son at Quito, Ecuador, furnishes some
very interesting statements to the state
department relating to American enter
prises in that country. Among other
things he says: Ecuador is becoming
one of the most important nations on
the west coast of South America in its
relation to the United States. An Amer
lean company has received a contract
to build q railroad from Guayaquil to
Quito at an estimated cost of ST., 900, 900
in gold and a number of engineers are
now at work on the survey. A represent
tatfve of another American company is
negotiating for contract to build an
other railroad that will cost many mil
lions of dollars. Another company has
secured the right to build a tramway
which will require large sum of mon
ey. A company has been formed by
Americans to build in Guayaqu1 large
cotton factory and in its interest the
late congress passed a law authorizing
the free importation of cotton.
A charter has been secured by an
American company to start a, bank with
a capital of one million dollars.
About three years ago Ecuador was
first opened to the Bible and Protestant
missionaries. A number Of them are

FORGOT TO SIGN 1T.
Governor Stanley Makes Character
istic Reply to an Anonymous
Letter.

D. r. Gordon of Abilene. who was
among the visitors who called to con-
graduate Governor Stanley last even
ing, tells this good story on himself:
"A short time after the election 1 die
tated letter to my stenographer di-
rected to Governor Stanley, congratu-
lating him upon his election and say
ing a lot of things which 1 thought en-
inently proper. In fact, 1 thought it
was pretty good letter. But as some
times happens forgot to sign it before
it was mailed.
"a few days later received a letter
from Governor Stanley, stating that he
had received an anonymous letter from
Abilene and he presumed L was the
author of it. He said if 1 had not writ
ten such a letter he thought ought to
have done so anyway and he intended
to blame me for it until he found out
differently. He thanked me for the
kind wishes expressed in the letter and
asked me if 1 didn't write it to hunt up
the fellow who did and give him the
thanks. 1t didn't look very well, how
ever, he said, for a Republican in good
standing to be writing anonymous let

HAS FAITH In BRYAN.
Carnegie Thinks the Nebraskan Can
Defeat the Peace Treaty.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Mr. Andrew
Carnegie was an interested listener to
Senator Mason's speech. He expressed
the opinion that the ratification of the
peace treaty might be defeated and
said that it certainly could be if Mr..
Bryan would come out in opposition to
it IF he would only advise his fol-
lowers to fight in the pass and not In
the open,'' he said, 1.-The treaty is GER
tain of defeat. All that I hear indi-
Gates the increase of the opposition
ranks and am quite encouraged to be-
lieve the ratification of the treaty can
be defeated. According to my opinion
this is the opportune time for thos
who oppose expansion to do their
work.
"Only a one-third vote is required to
defeat the treaty, whereas with the
treaty ratified we will have to secure a
majority to make our views effective.
Hence l say that this is the time for
Mr.. Bryan and other NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
to make their fight. Hereafter we will
not enjoy the advantage over our OPP
ponents that we do now, having met
them in the open field.''

SHORT ROUTE TO MEXICO.
Prospect of a Railroad From Mata-
moros to Mexico City.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 1l.-Consul
Griffith, at Matamoros, sends the de-
partment of state the following:
1.-THE fact that a company under the
name of the Chicago, st. Louis & Texas
Air Line Railway company has been
chartered to build road from San An
tonic to Brownsville, Tex, and the en-
tire route surveyed, has caused interest
ed comment among men prominent in
business and financial circles in Mata-
moros and Northeastern Mexico. The
commencement of this road will I'M
doubtedly result in the building of a
road from Matamoros to Mexico City.
1t seems strange that a road has not
already been constructed, not only be-
cause it would traverse a country of
the most varied resources-agricultur
grazing and mining-but it would be by
from 400 to 600 miles the shortest route
from Mexico City to the large manu-
featuring cities in the central and east
ern part of the United States,'

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Oficers of several

pected.
So far it is only manifest in a mild

probable that all buildings will be fumi-
gated and Instructions issued to heads
