AUToldATIc COUPLER LAW.
Application For Extension of Time to
Be Heard

Railroad managers throughout the
country have been discussing recently
the advisability of asking the Interstate
commerce commission and congress for
a further extension of time in which 10

devices. In response TO an application
from numerous railroads for another
years time before complying with the
law as enacted, the commission has set

walker V. Powell president of the
Order of Railway Telegraphers, was
interviewed in st. Louis recently about
the request from the railroad COM
panies, and said that he could not state
what position the railroad brother
hoods, which were instrumental in Sc
curing the passage Of the law compell-
ing the railroads 10 adopt the auto
matte or safety coupler. would take:
but he was certain that they would op-
pose any further extension. The rail-
roads plea, Mr. Powell said. is that
the factories cannot supply the couplers
rapidly enough to enable them to equip
all their cars within the time limit
which was Jan. l, 1900, and, further
that with every car fit for service in
use. there is now a ear famine. and the
withdrawal of cars from service for the
purpose or hitting them with couplers
at this time would greatly increase the
congestion OF business, and result in
serious less to both railroads and bust
ness communities. On the other hand.

plying with this law, and those who Sc
cured its passage fer the protection of

The Information upon which he was
tried charged that on Oct. 3 Reeves

guilt TO permit of any other finding.

REPORT OF SECRETARY ROOT
RECOMMENDATIO TO BE IN
CoRPoRATED IN MESSAGE.
Governments For Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines-Favors
Building a Pacific Cable.

New York, Nov. PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Presi-
dent Mckinley has received a synopsis
of Secretary Roots annual report,
which he is now considering in connec-
ton with his message to congress.
Dealing, as it does, with all the events
of the last year in connection with the
Philippines. Cuba and Porto Rico and
in the discussion and recommendations
for the future government of these new
possessions, it will form the basis for
the most important chapter of the pres
ident's message.
These are some of the most essen
tial features OF the secretarys observa-
tions and recommendations:
The immediate appointment of civil
governors for Cuba and Porto Rico.
The substitution of civil government
either by commission or a civil governor
for the Philippines. Immediately fol-
lowing the suppression of the present
insurrection.
"A complete system of suffrage in
the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico,
with educational and property qualifi-
cations required for all voters.
The immediate construct ton of a
cable between the United States and
the Philippines"
No general reorganization of the
army will be recommended by the sec
rotary at the present time. He will
leave this subject open for further con-
sideration until after the war in the
Philippines has been brought toA close.
II will be pointed out, however, that
the retention of the bulk of the present
army Will be necessary for some
months to come.
The secretary Will be very urgent in
his recommendations for the immediate
construction Of a cable line to the
Philippines. He will point out that the
cheapest route will be from Seattle di-
rect to the Philippines, but he viii also
show the desirability of connecting all
our Pacific possessions by cable. He
will show that the line between Seattle
and the Philippines can be built for
about $1,000 000. 1t will cost 81, 000, 900
more if the line is laid from San Fran
cisco via Honolulu.
During the past year the war depart
ment alone spent more than S400. 900 for
cable tolls. and, with the amount paid
by the navy and state departments,
more than half a million in all has
been paid for cable messages between
this country and the Philippines. The
secretary will point out these facts to
show that il will be economy for the
government TO build it's own cable.

Winston Churchi1l's Opinion As t
the Duration of the War.


Pretoria, Nov 24.-Through the. cour-
tesy of the Transvaal authorities the
correspondent of the Associated Press
here in the company of Mr.. T. @. Grob-
Ter, under secretary for foreign afI2i.-'
and Mr.. de Souso, secretary OF the war
department. was enabled TO visit Win
ston Churchill today at the model
school. where he is confined with tht
captured officers. Beyond a slight bull
let wound in the right hand he seemed
well and looked hearty, although nat
urally chatting under enforced idleneSs-
In the course of the interview Mr..
Churchill said:
saThe Beers have treated us with
much kindness. This was the case from
the outset. They praised our defense
of the armored train and expressed
surprise that the locomotive was saved
from becoming a hopeless wreck, as
they expected under their artillery fire.
We were then marched through a pour
ing rain to Colenso, proceeding the next
morning TO the Boer camp near Lady
smith, and then going by rail to Mod
derspruit, finally arriving here on
Nov. 10. -
"On the journey great numbers of
burghers crowded TO see us, but there
was only one who made insulting re-
marks, the others courteously offering
us cigarettes or showing such marks OF
attention"
Mr.. Churchill said the confinement in
the model school was close and severe
but under all the conditions he had no
grounds to complain. When asked re-
garding his general impressions. he said
he had had many discussions with the
Beers as to the rights of the war. and
had been impressed by the number
who could speak English. He had
found that most of them regretted the
conflict, asserting that it had arisen as
the result of Misrepresentation. So far
as he could learn, however, the spirit
of the burghers in the field, despite
their privations, was most determined,
and there was no chance of an early
peace.
II fear" said Mr.. Churchill, that the
struggle will be bloody and protracted."

FIGHTING At LADYSMITH.
British Successful In Repulsing the
Boer Forces.

MOOT River. Natal, Nov. 24-The
Beers have only sent an occasional
shell into the British camp since this
morning. The range Of the British
guns is not sufficient for them to be
effective. An official native runner cor
roborates the report that heavy firing
has occurred northward. The runner,
who is from EstcoUrt, says he was cap
tured by the Beers, who infest the
country noTthward. He adds they
searched him, but failed to discover the
dispatches.
The Beers are in strong force under
the cover of a hill, on which are two
guns When the British opened fire
abe runner escaped in the confusion.
The same runner was at Ladysnlith
last week. He reiterates that heavy
fighting occurred there. The Beers, he
claims. made several attempts to cap
ture the British camp, but We're re-
pulsed with heavy loss. The-native ex-
planned the failure of the assaults by
saying that every time the Beers ap-.
preached, the British set the whole
country ablaze. killing everyone within
reach.
