coldness. Republicans freely admitted

A CHINESE PLOT.
The alleged departure OF the ministers
from Pekin has led to a reassertion of the
belief that the story is part Of deep
laid plan by China TO conceal the date of
the massacre at Pekin, the suggestion be-
ing that the Chinese officials will claim
that the ministers left Pekin undar

massacred by Boxers en- route to Tien-

OF DISCIPLINE
WILL BE ADOPTED BY THE ORE
CON SHORT LINE ON AND
AFTER SEPTEMBER 1.

WILL PROBABLY FOLLOW,
Experience Of the North Coast Limited
In Montana Storms-Rail-
road Notes.

The Brown system Of discipline will be
adopted by the operating department OF
the Oregon Shirt Line on and after sep
TENDER /, says the Spokesman-RevieW. lt
is understood that the system Is to pc
adopted also by the Union Pacific. This
department from Pendleton to the Missouri
river and the same general plan will be
adopted as on the Short Line.
when henea asked afe yesterday nrams Il Il that hat line would
adopt the system. stated that ne had not
been notified of any such step, but that in
all probability the Q. r. & N. would even-
tually adopt the system.
The main feature of the system Is dfsc1-
pline of railway employees without suspen-
sion, and it is rapidly being adopted by
Americas leading railroads.
Under the old system railroad employees
were r~eprimanded, suspended, with loss Of
pay for stated periods, or dismissed. Under
is by record only and in the record book
is kept his whole service record. This Is
done by a good and bad, a debit and credit
record.
Instead Of being suspended for a stated
period for a violation of rules, the matter
is entered in the record under the en-
ploye's name. These entries may refer to
violations of rules, damages caused by
carelessness or personal matters AFFECTING
the good Of the service.
That is the one record only. On the
other hand, a clear record needs no entries,
but that does not prevent special mention
being made on the record for any acts Of
bravery or heroism, special acts OF loyalty
or protection OF the cOmpany's interest.
In fact, the Brown system is one that gives
full credit to all the employees and the
good record may be used to wipe out the
bad record; for instance. on one road a rep
rimand will be Cancelled by a perfect record
for three months: a suspension Of 10 lays
will be Cancelled by a perfect record Of six
months, and so on.
Under the present system a division SUI
perintendent may be the only one who
knows Of al employees good acts, but under
the Brown system his record tells the
whole story to the general operating de
partment.
A continued bad record may be cause
for dismissal from the service, as may also
q violation Of rules serious enough to meri,
the extreme punishment.
me Brown system includes bulletins,
which are posted to bring to every EN-
ployes notice certain violations, careless
ness and the like. on the bottom of which
may be added the superintendent's warn
ing. " 49,
G. r.. Brown, general superintendent OF
the Fall Brook railway, is the originator
Of the plan.
