CHINESE AMBITION
To Save Money Enough to Set Up
Establishment in China.

Leslie's Weekly: A somewhat super
fluous law Of this country shuts oud
John Chinaman from citizenship.
That is no grief to John. He doesn't
yearn for the enlightenment of west
ern civilization typifed by foreign dev-
lis who attempt to restrict his use OF
opium, and even go so far as to deny
him the right Of gambling. What he
wants to do is to live here on 20 cents
day while making 81 day. and, as
soon as ne gets enough surplus, go
back to his ancestral halls, where he
can support family in great comfort
on something like II cents day. The

hibit persons with a taste for mathe-
matics from using these figures as a
basis for calculating how long it will

igation as giving striking illustra-
ton of mechanical evolution i'll the
last sixty years. Speed, he says, has
been increased from s! to 224 knots:
the average time on the voyage has
been reduced to about thirty eight per
cent. of that in 1910. H Ships have
been more than trebled in length,
about doubled in breadth, and in
creased tenfold in displacement. The
passenger list has been increased from
about 100 to 1000 on a single steam
ship. The engine power has been
made forty times as great. The ratio
of horse power to weight driven has
increased fourfold; the rate OF coal
consumption per horsepower has been
reduced to one-third. TO drive 90, 600
tons across the Atlantic at 81 knots,
about $50 tons of coal were burnt In
1910; now, to drive 10000 tons across
at twenty-five knots, about 5000 tons
are burnt. Each ton of propellinG
apparatus, with a steam pressure OF
only twelve pounds, then gave only
two horse power for continuous work
ing; each ton now produces from SIX
to seven horsepower.

MISSIONARIES IN DANGER.
Eight American and Three Chinese
Missing.

Tien Tsin, Sunday, June 1.-Two
more of the party of foreigners who
fled from Pao Ting Flu have arrived
here. One Of them was badly injured.
The relief expedition has returned.
There is no news from the body OF
mounted Cossacks who started In
search Of the refugees and fears for
their safety are entertained.

evening. They report they had a fight
with the Boxers at Tuli killing sixteen
and wounding many. Lieutenant

required half an hours time toda5 to

from No. 8, and in consequence that
tran was late.
A new time-card will go into effect
reXt Sunday morning at 1905 o'clock.
Very little change in tie running of
trains will be made. Train No. 3 will
leave Cheyenne at 10 Il. m. instead of
1875 as at present and will get here
about 12:15, So minutes earlier than at
present.
President C. S. Mellen, of the North
ern Pacific Railroad, says that his COM
pany has sold all its remaining lands
in Minnesota, and also large tracts in
North Dakota and Washington. More
than 100000 acres have been dispos-
ed Of recently at prices ranging from
$50 to $3.50 an acre. The Minnesota
lands were taken by a syndicate and
the Northern Pacific company received
something over 5000 600 for them.

NOTES.

Assistant Superintendent Hay was in
Cheyenne last night, but returned home
today.
Recent changes in railroad affairs
have brought Harry Hess among old
friends again. He is now smashing
baggage on the Cheyenne-Ogden run.
The efficient eagle-eyes of the Sixth
district say that it is no snap to pull
q train over the new cutoff from Medi-
cine Bow to Lookout, and the firemen
say likewise. 1t is simply one con-
tinuous round of pleasure all the way
up.
The Union Pacific has issued a fifty
page pamphlet entitled Gay Paree and
How to Get There" with the least ex-
pense, with a brief sketch of the expo
sition grounds. The same will be furn,
ished free on application at Union Pa
cifc ticket offices.
John Hobbs, formerly a weil-known
passenger brakeman out of Cheyenne to
Green River, is now married and re
sides in Ogden. Three children add
merriment to his happy home. Phil
Brophy is also another old-timer who
IS running out of Ogden. Phil is also
t'ch in Utah's best crop. No one will
say how many children he has IN
til after the census is taken.
Train records kept at points west of
e~ast-bound are falling off at the rate of
between 5000 and 10000 car loads a
week. This rapid decrease in tonnage
is cutting into the business of some of
the roads seriously, and western freight

HOLD-UPS AT TIE SIDING.
Two Men Relieved Of Their Cash by
Robbers.

Barney Hunt, a p%rospector, was held
up and robbed of SIS in cash at Tie
Siding at $50 o'clock last night by
three men, two Of whom threw him
down and held him while the third
went through his pockets. Hunt
claims he recognized one of his assail-
ants, a man named San Bay, alias Bass,
and Deputy Sheriff Knadler went up
and arrested him this morning, bring
ing him to Laramie on No. 8 this af-
ternOon.
Later in the evening another man,
name unknown, was set upon by three
men and robbed of Sc. The hoId-ups
were scared away before they complet-
ed their job. The identity Of the rob-
bers was not learned.

The Fifth district from one end to
the other is a scene of busy life. White
tents relieve the mOnotony of the land
scaTa and men and teams by the hun
dreds are actively engaged in grading
for the new line. In many places con-
siderable Of the grade is already COM
pleted and the rock work is going
ahead in a very satisfactory manner.
1t has been frequently stated in the
press that the Sherman tunnel will be
l 500 feet long, but this is an error.
The Republican is informed by one in
a position to know that the tunnel will
be 1900 feet exclusive of the ap-
proaches. The rock through which it
is being drilled is mostly d~isintegrated
granite and therefore it will be neces-
sary to wall the tunnel to prevent cav
ing. The disintegrated granite is much
easier to remorve, however, and the
wall will be gladly placed where neces-
sary. The tunnel viii be for a single
track and will be about fourteen by
twenty-five feet, high enough to clear
a trainman on the top of a big furni-
ture car.
The grade from Cheyenne to Borie
is almost completed and it is expect
ed that the laying of the steel will be-
gin in a very few days. This will give
a better opportunity for handling the
immense business of the Overland.
Congestion has been frequent on the
east side Of Sherman hill in the sum-
mer season for the reason that it is
necessary to take care of several grav-
el trains there in addition to the regu-
lar large and increasing traffic of the
road.
Improvement is not confined to the
new line under construction. New side
tracks of mammoth proportions are be-
ing made. At Tie Siding the sidetrack
room is being extended 400 feet, at
Sherman two new sidetracks are al
most completed and at Granite the
sidetrack is being extended. With

expense to the company. Trains are

of insufficient sidetrack room, and it
means money to hold men hour after

JONES FOR BRYAN.
Toledo's Mayor Declares for the Dem
Ccratic Ticket-He is a Power
in Ohio

The declaration of Mayor Samuel W. Jones,
of Toledo, Ohio that be will vote and work
for BRYAN introduces into the Ohio campaign
AN element which may have far-reaching i'm
pOrtance
Mr.. Jones was elected Mayor OF Toledo in
1897 as a Republican. Last year he became
an independent, chiefly because of his opposi
ton to trusts, a high tariff and milariSm.
As such he was reelected Mayor of Toledo,
and soon atferward beca AN independent
candidate for Governor OF Ohio, receiving
lO7, 900 votes. Nearly all OF these, 1t Is be-
ieved. were drawn from the Republican party
Though Governor Nash, Republican, was
reelected by 1903 plurality, he really re-
ceyed minority of the total vote. The com
bined opposition 10 the Republican ticket
polled 73,76l votes more than the Repubh-
cans 1t Is said by Democratic leaders that
the opposition will be united on Brlau this
year, though Republicans dispute this.
Mayor Jones makes the following statement
OF why he is going 10 vote for Bryan:
II regard the ballot as sacrament rather
than AN implement of warfare. When /
enter the booth to administer the sacrament
of my ballot | shall use my best endeavor to
record my conscience in favor of equality and
against war in favor OF love and reason rather
than war and revenge. | shall vote for VIM.
