SENSATIONAL RAILROAD RUMORS
Alleged Combine In Which Nearly
All Big Lines A-e Involved.

Ssor les Of gigantic consolida ton says
the Globe Democrat, are being sent
out of We'll street almost daily. In
genious arguments are made by the
writer's to show that the purchase oil
the Chicago and Alton by the Harri-
man sy Indicate was but the beginning
of a great concerted movement to con-
troll all the large properties of the
country. The men who are said to be
working out the plan, evidences OF
which are becoming manifest every
day in the changes which are taking
place in the various systems, are j..
Pierpout Morgan, William K. Wander
bilt, William Rockefeller, E. n. Har-
rimsu, George Gould, James K. Hill
and A. j. Cassatt.
In brief, the combination will under
take at once the re-establishing OF
rates and their maintenance on per-
msnent basis.
It will begin at once to cut down the
expensive passenger and advertising
departments of the railroads; adver-
tisemenss will be Withdrawn from all
the small country newspapers which
received transportation In exchange
for advertising, and sell it, thus dis
turbinR rates.
It will abolish the so-called ''fast
freight lines" which are expensive and
unremuuerative parasites.
It will do away with the agencies
and the va -ious subsidiary companies
owned aud operated by officials of the
parent companies.
It will abolish the travelling freight
agent as far as possible.
It will resist the demands of all big
corporations for rebates, and it will CO.
operate with the interstate commerce
com m :ssion in the maintenance OF
rates.
If will establish both the anthracite
and bituminous coal trades on q perma.
nently profitable basis.
1t will establish differentials at the
Atlantic seaports, and establish grain
tariff from the west to the seabord
based on the prevailing market price
of cereals on the Chicago board OF
trade.
1t will take up aud provide for set
Element of the labor question as far as
possible.

BRAVE BRASHER
He Was Dumped In the Water and
Swan Four Miles-LdndS on
Shore and Tells His Numerous
Friend, of His Trying Experience
"A Warning to Others.

Mail Agent Brasher, who has estab-
lished himself as thoroughly compe-
tent man in the service of Uncle Sam
in the all department between here
and Los Angeles, is again brought into
prominence by his entertaining quail
ties
Some time ago he brought sack of
gourd seeds supposing they were water
melon seeds and the laugh was
strictly on him. This time, however,
ne has brought the joke on himself by
telling of his experience at Santa Mo-
MICA short time ago.
He said that he had been making ar
engagements for several weeks to visit
the famous fishing resort on the west
coast and he took plenty of money with
him so as to be entirely independent on
his outing.
When he reached Santa Monica he
selected servants and made great pre-
parations for fishing tour. A color
ed man was poin ted out to him as being
thoroughly acquainted with the best
fishing points in the bay. It is needless
to say that he was employed at high
price by the willing mail agent.
According to Mr.. Brasher's story, he
employed d negro to take him to the
most profitable point in the bay and
the negro consented. After they had
reached point about four miles out on
the rolling waves shark appeared and
devoured the boat and the negro. He
escaped and had to swim four miles to
shore. All the friends of Mr.. Brasher
will know that this story is perfectly
true because the only time that he has
been found guilty of a falsehood is
when he stated that he carried l0O, 900
pounds of mail in car that could not
possibly carry more than 10000
pounds.

LINK AND PIN.

reference with property rights as th'
compulsory changing of railway
gauges. But as there are now in Min
nesota only two railways of 3-fee
Rauge-respectively 81 and 60 mile:
lOng-and as they are branches of g
standard gauge system, it is probable
that the order will be obeyed without
narrowgauge, so far as Minnesota is
concerned, will cease to exist. The
Minnesota method, however, will 10,
abolish narrOw-gauge roads generally.
There are still over 100 such lines in
, the United States, with several thou
sand miles of track, hardly state, be-
ing without one or more roads feet, 3
feet and 81 feet wide, and all are doing
| useful service-in most cases proving
quite sufficient for the traffic thatis at
tainable. sl- -s -
The era of narrow-gauge building
has passed and very few roads will
hereafter be built Of other than the
standard width, but 1t is interesting to
remember that this result was not
reached without struggle. Twenty
years ago the ''battle of the gauges
was st its height in this country and
the advocates of the 3-feet gauge were
predicting great future for the prin-
ciple of light, narrow. chesply built
years the projecting and building OF
such lines went on rapidly. In 1880
there were $50 of them in operation,
with over 1000 miles of track, and in
1881 the narrow-gauge mileage
was estimated as high "a
10, 600 miles. There were
several long and important lines, nota-
yer. South Park and Pacific, Colorado
Central, Toledo, Delphos and Burling-
ton, Cairo and st. Louis, Texas and St.
Louis, East Line and Red River, Hous-
ton East and West Texas and, others,
nearly all of which were afterward
widened to standard gauge and chang
ed in name. In Colorado about 1000
miles of narrow gauge we're il opera
ton, Texas had 900 miles built or under
construction, Ohio boosted network
of 3-feet roads measuring several hun
dred miles, conservative N massachusetts,
had nine short lines, including the pio
neer of the 2-feet gauge, and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific narrow-gauge
projects were Sin the air"-where
many were of 3-feet gauge. Or S24O
miles of new track, 1890 miles or IA per
cent we're narrow gauge. Several
miles of nsrrow-gauge track
line from Lake Erie to Colorado and
the Gulf had been completed. and lines

being anticipated. Meantime the
question of interchanging traffic and
with standard gauge roads
was becoming an important one, and
mechanical devices and traffic agree
ments to that end were multiplied.
Then began the era of the uniform
ity of standards" and the narrow
gauge, like the broad gauge of feet,
was doomed. The fleet 81 inch
ha do
measure for roadbed, track, rolling
stock, supplies and methods of opera
tion, and thenceforth the nsrrow-guage
roads became merely local affairs, ex-
listing under peculiar conditions. Sew
eral thousand miles of narrow. track
have been widened 10 standard. and
this process will doubtless go slowly
on until railway of 3-feet gaags will
be q curiosity. But Industrial condi-
tions and not state legislation will
have accomplished the costly revolu-
tion.-RsilWay Age.

Best All-Year Route to California

Is the Southern Pacific. The travel
ing public can easily understand this
when it is known that this is the only
line running coaches through to Cali
fornia points without change, the only
line running tourist s]eepers direct
from Ell Paso to Los Angeles and San
Francisco, the only line running pull
man palace cars direct to the above
named cities without transfer and the
only line running buffet cars, thus en-
abling passengers to obtain their meals

Gen. Buffers Position

New York, Dec. ga dispatch to the
Herald from London says: 1t appears
that storm is brewing on the subject
of the course of the government toward
General Sir William Butler, whose con-
duct at the outset Of the war met with
much criticism. It is said that General
Butler previous to the war sent series
of dispatches warning the government
against attacking the Beers, giving de-
tails of their condition for war which
have been verified by recent events. But
his dispatches were very distasteful to
the government and We're put away out
of sight and General Butler was harshly
criticized.
General Butler it seems. drew atten-
ton to the way in which the English
were misled by the blindness of the in
telligence department, which, from what
has taken place, was totally unaware of
or purposely misinformed of the Beers
as to their arms and numerical strength,
It is well known here that. the British
agents of the intelligence department
were sent from time to time to find
out what the Beers We're doing in the

The British naval guns command the

that Notwithstanding the Beers success
the Free Staters do not expect ultima te
victory. They complain Of the overbear-

are alleged to be better fed and posted

ers do not conceal their suspicious of a
