The movements Of the British collier
Needles, which arrived in Hampton
is believed in well-informed circles
that the strange change Of destination
is caused! by prospects of serious COM
plications between the japanese ard
Russian governments. The Needles
which is commanded by Captain Mil
Ions, is now loading a cargo of 5000
tons Of goal at Lambert's Point. IL
was stated by her captain that he
would clear for tSuez for orders.
Prior to the Needles arrival, TnWcv-
cr. 1t was announced in the maritime
reports that her cargo of coal was for
NaSaSakl. Japan. and so rare are coal
shipments from this section to Japan
csc ports that much wonder was cx-
pressed regarding the shipment.
AT that time the Russian feet was
booked to winter at the Japanese port,
and its change of orders being follow
ed by similar change of destination
by the Needles is taken here to Indicate
tina the coal was intended for the Rus
slams. The Needles has sailed for

HOUSTON AND PORT ARTHUR.


An Air Line Road Ia Said tn he Al
ready settled Upon.
The following Is from the Port Arthur
Herald. AT this end of the route nothing
is known OF the project:
The Herald has received straight tin
from reliable sources that all preliminary
arrangements have been made for the
construction of an air line railroad from
Houston to Port Arthur. and that the
charter for the road will bo applied for at
once. 1t is the intention to have the road
completed in time to handle the cotton
crop of next season and haul Che concen-
trated cotton to Port Arthur for ocean
shipment Houston is the great cotton
market of Texas, nearly the whole crop
finding its way there. 1t lis In order to
procure the best outlet Nr this immense
aggregation of freight that the road is
being projected. and the urgent need will
insure its early construction. All the
capital needed has been pledged. and but
for the present high prices of steel and
ties. the work would not be delayed even
to next season. This much, however, Is
certain: The road will be In full opera
tion In n year from now. This road will
be second In Importance only to the Kan
sas City. Pittsburg and Gulf, the road
that made Port Arthur, and is an import
ant step In the direction OF making Port
Arthur the greatest railroad center on the
gulf coast
