The beautiful SuEar-MnpIe Tree.
(FrOm Scribner's Magazine.)

To native New Englanders there is no
tree around which cluster more fond
memories than the sugar maple. When
they see her shading the occupants of the
benches in the city parks. as graciously
as she shelters the lambs which gather at
her foot in the New Hampshire pasture.
she reminds them of 'sapping time" and
awakens visions of the old moss grown
sap-house around whose sunny clearing the
snow melted early. The opening in the
forest was fringed above by delicate bud
ding branches against a hazy spring sky,
the little brook ran beneath the softening
snowdrifts which remained. or sang in
the shadowy glade where the liverwort and
trailing arbutus grew. Chipmunlis frisked
about the wood-p.le while the bluebird
uttered such CHEEKY notes that the hard
work Of carrying brmming pals of sap
was forgotten. and the whole thing seemed
frolic. Every spring when the naples
blossom in the park. these memories come

The stern and almost theatrical language
of the German Kaiser at Wilhelmshaven
to his marines departing for China serves
10 clear the air as far as the attitude of
Wilhelm II On the Chinese question is con-
:erned. 1t is evident that His Majesty is
deeply hurt and enraged by the atrocious
murder of his Minister at Pekin, ard hat
he will avenge II at any cost.
Whatever may have been the opinion
in Europe as to his alleged leaning toward
Russia in the crisis, and a GOODNESS toward
some other powers. all such ideas must be

EASTERN RATES.

Officials Are Expected to Take Ac-
ton on Grain.
Says the Wall Street Review: Eastern
rate conditions are on the whole satisiac-
tory. On account OF lake and rail COM
petition rates are absurdly low, but
schedules are maintained. The executive
officers are expected to meet soon and boil
ster up the grain rates. The new POOLING
agreement of Eastern lines is expected
to have a very sanitary effect.
The disturbing element continues to be
the decentralization at Missouri river, tins
Western presidents at their New forR
conference having accomplished little IL
this direction. This conference, however
is expected to produce very good results
in the entire Western territory, even
though the territorial committee plan j
not successfully contaminated AS Grea'
Northern and Northern Pacific are main
tanning rates their lack of cooperation a
the conference Is not significant. The
Transcontinental Passenger associatiol
project is said to be meeting with success
though 1t can never become complete
success with Canadian Pacific a free
lance.
The general movement OF both passen
ger and freight traffic continues to main
tan agreeable proportions, though pre-
dictions are made in various direetion
that reduction in the volume shortl,
need not cause surprise.

New York Commercial.
Once more the trunk lines have ex-
changed solemn vows with one another
and with the Atlantic port lines that es-
tablished freg ht rates shall be absolutely
maintained and no Irregularities upon the
part of connecting lines permitted within
the limits of Eastern territory. They had
a conference yesterday at joint meet
ing of the westbound freight committee
and the Atlantic port lines with their
coastwise connections, the holding OF
which had become imperative in conse-
quence of the ugly disposition OF tho
latter in the strong protest they reg stored
with Commissioner Goddard against con-
tinued failure to compel Central Freight
association lines to behave. Alter ad-
iournment one of the officials said:
ut was a satisfactory conference, and
/ think l am justified in saying that the
situation is very much improved. This
trunk lines have agreed not only to see
that rates are absolutely maintained over
their own roads, but under no circum-
stances will they quote reduced rates over
Central Freight association roads like the
Lake Shore, Lake Erie and Western ana

AMONG THE RAILROADS.
Traffic Manager Halle Of Katy IS Yer,
Optimistic.
PRICES OF MATERIAL AFFECTED EARNINGS
Roads Have Lost Millions ON A.
count of Notwithstanding to Con-
troll the N. o. and w.-Notes.

Q. Halle. traffic manager of the Katy:
A. A. Allen, vice president and general
manarger and j. W. Maxwell, general
superintendent were all in the city yes-
terday, having returned from Galveston
To Post representative MIR. Halle said;
The Katy is doing good business and
Its volume is constantly expanding We
gain new territory continually and as the
country has grown we have expanded.
The past year, though, has been hard
one on railroads. In some cases cost has
been increased 300 per cent and it Is safe
to say that the average article entering
into railway construction jumped un from
20 to 100 per cent. This of course caused
us, in fact 1t caused all roads to make an
apparently unfavorable showing on the net
earnings. Under normal conditions our
report would have been exceedingly fiat
tering, despite many obstacles and draw
backs.
Texas roads have suffered frightfully
this year on account of floods aud the
Galveston cyclone and our road has come
in for share of the bad luck, though
nothing to compare with some of the other
Texas lines.
Millions will not replace the amount
of money lost. 1t Is not only the destruc-
ton of physical property. 1t is loss in
revenue from carrying freight and passen-
gers that can not be calculated, and this
foots up really more than the physical
loss.
Yes, we contemplate improvements in
our service. We are always looking
ahead, and don't feel discouraged in the
least, because we believe We have come to
the turning point and that from now on
times will be better for the railroads,
and certainly every line in Texas does
need change"
