NEW COLORADO TRAIN.
Missouri Pacific Will Inaugurate New
Service Between Kansas City
and DenVer.

Denver, Oct. 5.-The Missouri Pacific
doubtless will have another through
train each way between Denver and
Kansas City if locomotives to pull them
can be secured. This will give each
terminus a morning and an evening
train. The running time will be reduced
from "a to 81 hours. When D. Q. Dodge,
general superintendent of the Missouri
Pacific, was in Denver a few weeks
ago, he intimated that some improve
ment would be made on his line soon.
A representative of an eastern lOcOmO-
tive works now at the Brown Palace
hotel, however, confirms the report.
The Missouri Pacific has placed or
ders with locomotive works to deliver
this year an aggregate of 81 engines,
but the manufacturers have been 50
overcrowded with O ders that only %
can be delivered by the end of the
year. Nearly all of these have been
received and are in use. Fifty freight
engines and ten passenger engines in
addition to those now in use are wanted
by the road.
The new service proposed by the Mis-
souri, Pacific will be beneficial to Pueb-
10 in particular and to Colorado
Springs, Denver and other points in
general. It is most likely that the new
tt n will be put on by October Is, if
the locomotives can be secured. On that
date a general shifting about of sched-
ules and trains will take place. Both
the Queen and the Baldwin locomotive
works are being pressed for locomo-
tiVeS.

Railroad News Of a General and
Local Nature.

AS now decided on, the new winter
time card will go into effect on the
Santa Fe Sunday, November 5. The
first California, limited train will leave
Chicago on the following Tuesday, No
vember z, and arrive in Los Angeles the
following Friday. The first eastbound

In establishing the winter schedule
the Santa Fe will inaugurate an innova-
ton in reference to regular trains. At
ter November Z all regular passenger
trains will stop for meals at the var
iOus stations 25 minutes. But 20 mon
utes is now allowed for meals, and this
has been the rule Tor years. The extra
hVe minutes Will be appreciated by
hungry passengers, and the new move
will undoubtedly be popular with
patrons of the road.
The Harvey eating house people are
responsible for an extension being made
in the time for meals. They explained
that the average passenger is in con-
slant fear of getting left and that
anything less than a half hour appeared
extremely short. They argued that
their sales would be materially in=
creased and passengers better salts
ned If the time was increased to an
even half hour. The passenger Off
Gals cut the difference, and ordered %
minutes to be allowed for meals.

ity weighed to certain extent in the
balance.
In reply to an inquiry as to what
questions separated the judges, Justice
Brewer replied:
Nearly every point In the first
place, European lawyers don't look
upon the question of prior rights re-
sulting from rights of discovery in the
same way as we do. Then the question
of the nature of control and the extent
of influence and relationship with the
native races and many such matters
are not viewed in the same manner on
both sides of the Atlantic. In fact the
whole situation is not so keenly ap-
preciated by Europeans as it is by
Americans
Replying to a query regarding the
deliberations within the court. Mr..
Brewer said that there was, properly
speaking, no casting of votes. Each
judge conceded something in turn
With regard to the proceedings in open
court he said the hearing of argum ents
might have been considerably curtailed
had the case been heard exclusively by
either an English or American court,
but the judges thought it prudent to
allow counsel full liberty in order to
make matters clearer to the president,
who, after all, was not a lawyer. Ask
ed whether, according to his own opin-
ion, Venezuela was entitled to more
than she actually received, Justice
Brewer, after some hesitation, shrug-
ged his shoulders and said he would
rather say nothing on that subject and
concluded by remarking that whatever
these two parties might think of the
award, Venezuela received Barima

energy, but the principal blessing is
that the two nations can at last de-
velop peacefully, side by side, large
tracts Of territory, which, owing to the
previous antagonism. have remained
unproductive.'

BEEF CATTLE 10 MARKET.
Santa Fe Receiving Big Shipments
From Pecos Valley.

Roswell, N. NJ, Oct. 5.-Reports from
along the Pecos Valley railway show
that the movement of beef cattle has
begun.
Portales, the new shipping station on
the Pecos Valley road, ninety miles east
of Roswell. is this season getting the
majority of the shipments on account
of the large territory it commands, its
ample water service and from the fur
ride of Kansas City, via the Santa Fe;
thus shipments made from there come
within the feed and water limit" and
stock can go straight through from
pasture to market without being I'M
loaded in transit. The railroad people
have also built a large water tank near
Portales and can hold, if required, TO-
600 head of cattle on the prairie while
awaiting cars.

Az EcoNoMIcAL scREME
Santa Fe Is Using All Iron For Mile
and Curve Posts.

A new improvement in the way of
mile and curve posts is being adopted
by the Santa Fe road. Heretofore all
the posts of this kind have been of
wood, and are more or less much affect
ed by the weather The new posts are
of iron, and not only are more substan-
tial, but are a saving to the road, as
they are made out of material which
was formerly thrown in the scrap pile
or sold for old iron.
The new posts are made of the old
boiler dues, which are cut into lengths
of about three and one-half feet. These
lengths are then flattened at one end
for about nine inches, and stamped
with the number of the mile or the de-
gree of the curve, for the benefit of
the trackmen or surveyors. This fiat
tened part is painted white, and the
post is driven into the ground nearly
to this part. Several of these posts are
already in use, and others are being put
into place as fast as the wooden ones
are taken up. 1t is probable that iron
posts will eventually do away with the
wooden signbOards, which are now
nailed to the telegraph poles.

NOT SMOOTH SAILING.
Justice Brewer Discusses the Vene-
zuelan Award

Paris, Oct. 5.-A representative of the
Associated Press had a conversation
with Justice Brewer, of the United
States supreme court, regarding the
award of the AnglO-Venezuelan arbi-
tratiOn tribunal, from which it appears
that the deliberations of the court did
not proceed as smoothly and with the
spontaneous unanimity which a perusal
of the award would lead one to believe.
Justice Brewer, in reply to a ques-
ton, said;
Until the last moment believed a
decision would be quite impossible and
it was by the greatest Cancellation and
mutual concessions that a compromise
was arrived at. If any of US had been
asked to have given an award, each
would have given one differing in ex-
tent and character. The consequence
of this was that we had to adjust our
different views and finally to draw a
line running between what each
thought right"
Being asked whether political consid-
erations Influenced the award, the JUS
tice said he could not admit that, as
such an admission would reflect on the
judges, but there was no doubt that
the present instruction in Venezuela
and the consequent feeling of instabiI-

TROUBLE OVER WATER.
Santa Fe Must Pay For Liquid Taken
Out of Colorado Springs.

the city council meeting charges were
made against the Santa Fe railroad
for hauling water out of the city in
tank cars The road pays 500 per month
for a stipulated amount of water and is
not given permission to carry away

missioner has asked the company the
reason of this action and was told that
it was none of his business and was

The council this evening discussed
the matter and decided to put meters

DOUBLE SERVICE TO PORTLAND
Union Pacific Will Put on Another
Train to the Coast

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 5.-Incident to the
establishment of third through train
between Chicago and San Francisco
by way of the Union Pacific, North
western route, and a like increase in
service by the Burlington and Denver
& Rio Grande, comes the announce
ment that the Union Pacific will double
it's train service to Portland at the
same time.
At present from Ogden there is a
double daily service over the Oregon
Short Line to Butte, which only carries
it as far west as Pocatello, however.
From there to Portland, there is but
one train each way daily. By the new
arrangement, the double daily service
is to be carried on west to the coast
over the Oregon Short line and the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation company
lines, which are now really but pieces
of the Union Pacific.
