the business has practically absolute
control of the docks and car loading

There is an understanding between
this combine and the combine of the
river coal interests in the Pittsburg dis
ftrict, so that neither will encroach upon
the territory of the other thus putting
the Pirtsburg district, with output of
22.9ls,s04 tons of coal last year, in the
hands of two great concerns. OF that
total output last year the properties

going fifteen and twenty miles to mar
ket. Arrangements have been made to
lay out towns at the most advantage

This company is also constructing a
line from Armstrong to Baskerville, la.
There will be two new towns on this

MEXTCO'S RAILROAD Law,

| How to protect the rights of the peo-
porations without retarding the rail-
| road construction that is necessary to-
the development of the natural resources
| of the country is one of the biggest
problems with which lawmakers have
had to grapple This problem, it is be-
| lieved has been solved by a most adj
mirable piece of legislation in Mexico
The new national railroad law of Mex
leo, which goes into effect the first of
next January, is strikingly clear and
explicit in it's provisions, and makes the
national authority over railroads SUI
preme. The complication of authority
resulting from national, state and terri
torial governments is entirely obviated.
and the possibility of local legislatures
arbitrarily fixing or restricting railroad
rates is removed.
The new law divides railroads into
two classes: First, general routes of
communication, and second, routes of
local interest" the latter being subdi-
vided in routes in the federal district
and territories and routes in the states
The general routes include those con-
Meeting two or more states or a terri
tory with a state and those touching at
a port. The law embodies most explicit
requirements and prohibitions in regard
to tariffs, contracts, handling of freight
and selling of tickets. Among the
things that are forbidden are: ID Con-
tracts giving individuals lower rates
than those in the tariff; (2) refunding
money in order to reduce rates; CD al
lowing rebates to passengers or ship
pers out of agents commissions The
law also contains an explicit prohibition
against the sale Of passenger tickets by
any but authorized agents, which makes
the business of ticket brokerage or
"scalping" impossible in Mexico. The
law also gives the railroads right to

THE DAY "A FTER.

Yesterday was the day after. Silence,
or comparative silence, came to heal the
blows OF sound, and to give an oppor-
tunity for meditation ON the solemn
fact that one of the deepest, strongest
and noblest emotions Of the human
heart finds expression in the most awful
and most varied noise that can be made.
There was also opportunity for eevera.
kinds and degrees of repentance. There
was time to think whether the expenGi-
ture of a thousand dollars or SO for a
blaze Of fireworks was better use to
make of the money than to give it to
the worthy poor. And there was time
to be thankful that the fires and the ac-
cidents were less numerous and less SER
ious in this region than usual. There
was also an opportunity yesterday to
realize the difference between a genu-
inc dog-day and such poetic rare days
as we had in June But as corn did
we'll yesterday, there isn't much profit
in calling attention to the dogginess of
the day
