President Hill About It
President s5fcIzney. of the Great West
ern, supports the view of the car short
age situation, which has prevailed dur
ing the past few months, held by Presi-
dent James J. Hill, Of the Great North
ern. He believes, as does the Great
Northern magnate, that half the talk of
lack of equipment is unfeunded and that
the chief difficulty lies IN the situation
at. terminal points In: supporting his
views, he commented on the condition OF
affairs as follows:
Il believe that President Hill has taken
the right view Of the situation which
has confronted American roads this fall.
He has stated that the lack Of cars IS
not due TO an actual shortage Of equip
ment, but TO delays at terminals and
lack Of proper facilities. This has been
especially true Of the Great Western
1t IS safe to say that at present fully
p per cent Of our freight rolling stock
IS in Chicago awaiting unloading. There
are not tsufHeient- facilities to EXPEDITE
the movement Of an increased volume of
trafhes and 7eOngested5 conditions, termed
q car shortage result
What Western roads need IS not more
cars, but improved facilities for handling
those which they have. If we could load
promptly and discharge freight rapidly at
destination points we would have more
than SUFFICIENT cars to handle the bust
ness this fall. At Duluth other roads
have been handicapped At Omaha,
Kansas City, Chicago and, in fact, at
every point where there are received
large COnsignments Of freight daily the
same conditions result. It was IN view
Of just such conditions as have come
upon Us this fall that the plan of a Iaree
clearing yard, giving a chance of dis
posing Of such shipments as come in,
was proposed for Chicago. Railroad
men do not realize how important a part
their terminal facilities play when the
situation is as it is

ADVANCE ON TARLAC.
GEN. NJ A.CrHUR,s COLUMN Is NOW
MOVING ON THE INSURGENT
CAPITAL
IN THE FACE OF DIFFICULTIES

Rains Have Destroyed All the
Bridges In the District Over
Which Gen LawtOn Is Operating
AT Manila the Situation Is Re
garded as More Hopeful Than 1t
Has Been for Several Months.
MANILA, Nov Cen Wheatons or
ders were to land at or near San Fabian,
a fishing village twenty miles north of
Dagupan. The insurgent force there only
numbered about 800 men, entrenched,
whereas. at Dagupan there are some
thousands of insurgents and five miles of
strong trenches. The Mounts river is
blockaded. Gen Wheaton is supposed
to have landed today, though conmuni
cation with him is not expected until to-
morrow. The weather has been good
since he started. and he should have been
able to take the trenches without great
loss of life
From San Fabian Gen. Wheaton can
control the roads Of escape from Tarlac
to the northeast, making junction with
Gen. Lawton. Gen. Macarthur will begin
his advance towards Tarlac tonight. Gen.
Lawton will resume his advance tomor-
row, though in the face Of great Difficult
ties, rains in that district having de-
stroyed all the bridges in the vicinity, in
Guiding several the engineers built for
the movement. Gen. Lawton has been
working hard for several days to get ra-
tons forwarded The Thirty-f1fth regi-
ment reinforces him tomorrow.
A force Of 800 insurgents attacked the
Fourth cavalry last night, making three
futile charges and losing three men. The
Americans lost none.
The first raft across the ferry at Ca
bantuan was carried away by the swift
current. It had sixteen men Of the Third
cavalry on board, with their horses, but
only one Of them was drowned.
The situation here appears far more
hopeful than 1t has been for several
months. The publication in Manila OF
the report of the Philippine commission,
recently made public in Washington,
leaves the insurgents nothing to hope for
from that source. Also the prospects for
an aggressive movement and the press
ing of hestilities by a greatly increased
American force throughout the long pc
Rod Of dry weather, which is now about
to begin, is undoubtedly weakening the
determination Of the insurgents to make
resistance indefinitely.
The general movement against the in
surgents, which is now beginning, IS ex-
pected to go on until important results
shall have been attained. It is not in
tended at present to take Dagupan, as
the occupation Of that city is not neces-
sary to the success Of the plan, which
contempIates preventing the insurgents
from escaping out Of the valley and not
merely the capture Of the Manila & Dag
upan railway.
As soon as Gen. Wheaton shall have
landed II Is expected that he will extend
his force southwark to join with Gen.
Lawton's force now preparing to move
southwark from Cabanatuan. When this
junction shall have been effected Gen.
Macarthur will begin his advance from
the vicinity Of Angeles, sweeping the in
surgents toward the line formed by the
troops of Wheaton and Lawton.

George r. Williams, OF Milwaukee, Wis,
was a caller at the Office of General Pas
senger Agent Whitney, Of the Great Nor
thern, yesterday. He was a passenger
from the Cape Nome gold fields of Alaska,
on the steamer Roanoke" whose cargo
OF dust was one Of the largest and most
valuable ever landed in San Francisco.
He brought back with him a considerable
quantity of gold, and exhibited several
nuggets. one weighing nearly an ounce,
and good sized bottle Of prismatic
beach gold Asked for description Of
the diggings, he said:
Cape Nome is situated about one hun
ored miles northwest Of St. Michael
island. Nome City is at the mouth Of the
snake river, two miles north of the cape.
In May, 1899, the first gold was taken
out OF the district. Five men in eight
Gays washed out $4,000 in coarse gold
and nuggets from q point on Anvil
creek, near its junction with the Snake
river, half q mile from the sea beach.
Immediately that discovery became
known there was a rush TO the new
placers. Miners from Dawson and the
klondlke came down the Yukon in large
numbers Others went from Seattle, and
by August, 1899, there were 5000 people
In Nome City. In q few months 81 900 600
in gold was washed out One man is
credited with Sl,000,oo0 as his individual
The most wonderful and remarkable
thing about the Cape Nome district is

along the SeashOre the sand IS rich al
most beyond belief At a depth of a
foot and a half clayey gravel prospects

There are also good prospects on
snake river, thirty miles long, and Nome
and Cape rivers, all easily accessible
from Nome City. Numerous creeks run
into all these rivers. The diggings on all
these streams are shallow, bed rock be-
ms found at a depth of from four to ten
feet. Prospecting IS not difficult the

FLORENCE, Ala, Nov. Cen. Joe
Wheeler. in a letter to Hon. W. J. Wood,
of Florence, stating his views on the
Philippine question says:
81 am delighted with the Philippine is
lands. l have no doubt that little push
and energy this fail will crush out the
AguinaIdo Instruction Out Of 5000, coo of
people in these islands do not think that
he has more than 20, coo soldiers, and, in a
square fight, $500 Americans would tear
them to pieces. All that is necessary to
crush them out at once is for the army
to get at them and keep at them until the
work IS done.
1.-The evil features Of these isIads have
bee exaggerated to our people. Their ex-
tent is so great from north and south and
the variation Of the altitude is such that
there fs q great variety Of climate and
variety Of productions. Americans will
find this an excellent field for their en-
ergies, and the wealth-producing powers
Of these islands under American influence
will be very great.
The action of some Of the people in the
United States in asserting that the people
Of the Philippines ought to have indie
pendence does a. great deal Of harm and
assists Aguinaldo in maintaining the in
surrection, as he publishes all assertions
by Americans of that character and he
tells his supporters that If they hold out
until winter, independence will be given
them. It also has a bad effect in this
hat people who are disposed to be favor
Ne to US and who desire US to govern
tt islands, fear to assert themselves be-
cause they know that If they should do
so and that the Americans should aban-
don them, they would be in great danger
OF their lives, and in all probability their
property would be confscated.
