Few Changes to Be Made in the Pro-
posed Route of Orient Road.

pOSSQ G1OuIS VI OI4GuL 1SOdO-
Kansas City. June 2S.-Asked today If
the route OF Kansas City, New Mexico
& Orient road had been definitely de-
termined. President a E. Stilwen said:
Yes, IN a general way, although of
course variations may be made at some
points, depending on certain contin-
gencies. A delegation of citizens from
Emporia, Kan, called on me today to
urge the running of the line through
and assistance The route will be sub
stantially the one printed some time
ago"
What will the road cest?''
THAT is impossible to say at this
time The estimate is $50. 600, Co., but
that is subject to modification in a
number of ways. Concessions of about
So 600, COO have been granted by the Mex
lean government in Mexican bonds
1T is not generally known" contin-
ued Mr.. Stilwell that the Hawaiian
line drawn across the Pacific ocean
from Port StiIweu TO Manila. This
means that when our road is finished
1t will be the shortest route by more
than 1000 miles from New York or Chi
cago to Hawaii, Manila or Hong
Kong"
Among the new directors of the road
are James Mcknight. H H Naughton
and Andrew Mckinney. MI Mcknight
is general counsel for the Northern Pa

MAY RUN THROUGH TRAINS.
Alton and Union Pacific to Become
Closely Identified.

Kansas City. June 2s.-The announce
ment IS made that ". D. Cornish, who
Chicago & Alton, will not resign as vice
president Of the Union Pacific and the
Oregon Short Line. His election by the
Alton directors is significant of the closer
traffic relations which are to hereafter
exist between the Alton and the Union
Pacific 1t is understood the compact be-
tween these roads is similar. as affecting
the Kansas City gateway. to that which
has long been in effect between the Chi
cago & Northwestern and Union Pacific
through Omaha
1t does not seem to be settled whether
through passenger trains will be run from
Chicago to Colorado and the Pacific coast
via Kansas City over the Alton and Union
Pacific, but this IS considered not a i'm
probable result of the alliance Close
traffic interchange between the two roads
at Kansas City has existed for years, but
the new compact is much stronger than
the old.

MAYOR TAGcART ARRIVES.
Indiana Demo cratic Leader Not a
Candidate For National Chairman

What viii be real news to national
Democrats IS that Mayor Taggart of
Indianapolis is not a candidate for ma
uonal chairman that he was never
authorized any one to use his name in
that connection; that he does not be-
Heve he is the man for the place; that
he does believe Senator Jones is, and
that, further, if he (Taggart) were on
the rational committee and J. K
Jones wanted the place again he would
vote for Jones.
Mr.. Taggart's name has been sent
over the wires regularly the last two
weeks. During that time he has been
in Old Mexico Yesterday he was in
Kansas City on his way home and last
night was the star attraction at the
Baltimore. Immediately on his arrival
Mr. Taggart was besieged on all sides
to know what truth there was in the
report of his candidacy for national
chairman It was the first opportunity
to get at the facts.
There is 10 truth in it, he said,
and then went on as quoted.
Mayor Taggart is credited with
knowing something political in his
state On the question of vice presi-
dent he said; I know Indiana Demo
Gratis fairly we'll. The delegation will
leave Sunday, reach here Monday even
ing We come to form a part of the
convention. also to present the claims
of b F. Shively for vice president
Continuing, he observed: THE candi-
date should come from Indiana or New
York Whichever state gets the can
didate should give as good a guarantee
as possible that he would carry the
state. If New York can present a can
didate who can add the electoral vote
OF that state to the Democratic col
umn, then all right; if such a man can
not be found then Indiana simply re-
marks that the electoral vote of that
state could be guaranteed if General
Sh1Vely IS added to their ticket"
