The net earnings Tor the SIX months
have been sufficient TO pay all the fixed
charges for the year and leave two-thirds
OF the years dividend on the preferred
stock. The earnings for the remaining
half year, therefore, after $500. 600 has been
deducted for the preferred stock, Will all
be applicable on the common stock. De-
spite the decrease in net earnings fo5 the
first half year owing to enormous expend-
itures for permanent improvements and
bettermants, there is every reason TO be-
lieve that the total showing for the year
will be very nearly IL not quite as good az
that OF last year. Beginning with January,
higher freight rates will Offset the in
creased cost of all materials

WON HIS SUIT.

TeXarkana, Ark, April 26.-The case
OF Frank Black VS.. the Texas and Pa
cific railway has been settled at last,
and in favor of Black. This is a noted
case. About twelve years ago Black,
who had been backing boots in Tex
arkana for several years, jumped on
Texas and Pacific train to take a
ride. The proof in the case showed
5hat 4 brakeman hit him in the head
With Il chunk of coal, knocking him
from the train. He fell under the
ears and his legs We're both cut off.
Suit against the Texas and Pacific was
filed. At the first trial before District
Judge Sheppard the plaintiff received
4 verdict for $4,000, anG the company
appealed the case, claiming that the
brakeman had no authority to make Il
man get off Il train, and the company
was not responsible. The higher
court reversed the decision of the
lower court. and at the second trial,
which was before Special Judge How
ard Templeton. Black received a YER
dict of $4,000. The company again
appealed the case. The higher court
at Fort Worth affirmed the decisian
ana the attorneys for the railway
company applied for n writ OF error
in the supreme court. This court re-
fused the application and the case was
settled.

blow up the Welland canal locks. in
which he said it was possible, from
thc declaration of the men that they
were United States citizens, that they
propose to plead that their offense is
political one.
IF" he continued. ''they were part
If Il Boer organization, then they were
guilty of treason to the sovereign
power of the United States for having

ment, and on the other hand. they
would he guilty of making an unwar.
rantable war upon Canada. friendly
nation. Then surely the political of
fense would be evident. and the United
States would deal with them summar-
ily. However. in general. if the cul-
prits plead political offense, then the
matter would become a question of
diplomatic communications from the
United States, and would be directed

SITUATION IN SOUTH AFRICA.

London. April 27-The situation in
the southeastern part of the Free State
is still undecided. The British under
General Hamilton are making fairly
goou progress eastward in their en-
deavor to cut off the retreat of the
Beers who are retreatIng from Dewets-
uorp and Wepener. According to Rob
ertS' report of last evening. Hamilton
had nearly reached Thaha N'chu
French is following the Beers with
his cavalry. though it does not seem
probable that he will be able 10 head
them off. After clearing Roberts right
flank of the Beers the various British
brigades will doubtless march north
ward without stopping TO concentrate
at BloemfOntein.
