voted TO the teaching OF practical rail-

OF which win be limited TO a general

The school should consist Of a regular

PARTY CAN BE TRUSTED.
Congressman Dalzell Says That the
Republican Party VIII Settle
the Cuban Problem Success
fully.

NEW YORK. Sept. 20.-Congressman
John Dalzell. Of Pennsylvania. Is in
the city. His attention being called to
the statements Of Cubans. elected Tues
day as members Of the constitutional
convention, that the convention would
adopt and follow an independent policy
throughout and would not be influenced
by any representative of the United
States. he said:
''The resolution Of Intervention pro-
ylded that Cuba should have an inde-
pendent and stable government. The
promise Of independence was indefinite
as to time. There was nothing in the
resolution which would confne the Gu
bans to the establishment Of any par
ticular form Of government. but they
must form a government which will
give every form Of stability. As to
just how the United States government
will act in working out Cuban inde-
pendence in accordance with the prom
ise given, 1t is impossible to say. The
problem is a new one to us and each
phase Of 1t will have to be met as 1t
comes up. Thus far no mistakes have
been made and think the Republican
party can be trusted to work out the
problem successfully and honorably."

REPORT OF NORTHERN PACIFIC
Prosperity Of the West Enables the
Road to Make a Good Showing.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2O.-At a meeting
of the board Of directors Of the North
ern Pacific. the annual report has been
approved and will probably be given
out tomorrow. says the Times:
The traffic agreement between the
Northern Pacific and the Chicago. Mil
waukee & st. Paul. for use by the lat
ter between st. Paul and Duluth. was
approved and it only lacks the approval
of the Milwaukae's board Of directors.
President Mellen, after the meeting,
in speaking Of the business conditions
in the west said that Washington. Ida
no and Oregon were exceedingly pros
porous and that it was entirely due to
the earnings Of the western part Of the
road that the showing was good. as the
west division surplus overbalanced the
deficiency in the eastern part.
On the eastern division the traffic was
250 cars per day less than last year, due
to the failure Of the crops. The addi-
tion Of the st. Paul e Duluth's earn
ings should make an increase Of about
$4,000 Ter day. If earnings for the next
few months showed an average increase
Of less than this amount 1t would have
to be assigned 70 the failure Of the
eastern division Of the Northern Pa
cific to keep up it's earnings.

ENGLISH POLITICS.
On Account Of the Approaching Elec-
tions the Foreign Office Is Stiff
fening It's Diplomacy.

NEW YORK. Sept 2O.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
The press is filled with election intel
ligence but the contest is too unequal
to be interesting. A Unionist victory is
conceded even by the Liberal political
managers. and the only question in
doubt is whether the government viii
have a larger or smaller majority
in the new than it had in the old par
lament.
There viii be little political oratory
and the details of the settlement in
South Africa will not be explained. al
though this is the issue upon which the
government asks for seven years extern
sion Of its lease Of power. The elec-
tcrate which has been artiicially res
tricted by the disfranchisement Of an
enormous body of voters under the old
registry will be called upon to arm the
government with mandate to convert
Dutch Africa into British Africa so
that the work can never be undone.
Public interest centers in the recon-
structlon Of the cabinet rather than in
the result of the elections. which is a
foregone conclusion. Lord Lansdowne
is marked out for slaughter and Vis-
count Gross viii also be forced to re-
tire. 1t is also rumored that the Duke
Of Devonshire will not be member
Of the ministry after the elections. and
that Lord Lansdowne's resignation
from the war office will be the signal
for the retirement of Mr.. Goschen from
the admiralty.
II these forecasts are fulfilled, Mr..

CONFERENCE FUTILE.
Railroad Men Say That the Meeting
OF Western Presidents VIII
Amount to Nothing.

NEW YORK. Sept, 2O-The Times
says:
The optimistic views Of the result Of
Tuesdays conference Of western pres
idents. as expressed by Chairman JEFF
frey on Tuesday. are not generally
shared by freight representatives and
other railroad men in This city. That
the absence from the conference Of rep
resentatives Of the Northern Pacific
was more or less of an intentional slight
and that 1t forboded III for the future
Of the st. Paul committee was shown
by a statement from President Mellen
Of the Northern Pacific.
''win the Northern Pacific" he was
asked. 'Jon in the organization Of the
proposed st. Paul Traffic Committee"
"The Northern Pacific" answered
Mr.. Mellen. will undar nc eireum-
stances Join in any pool traffic commit
tee or other such agreement and Mr..
jeffrey has received no assurances from
us 10 the effect that we are favorably
disposed to such a plan."
This statement was made very en-
phatically. and. as il is hardly probable
that the other roads viii organize a
committee without the Northern Pacific,
the territorial committees plan may
have TO he abandoned.
But aside from this it was pointed
out by railroad officials that. in spite Of
all statements. it was evident that the
conference had again failed to accom-
plish anything.
The appointment Of committees
Is nothing more or less than pro-
crastinatlon. said a freight cth .ial
"The committees may consider as much
as they please; when it comes to re-
porting their deliberations at the next
conference 1t will be found that no con-
cluslon has been reached"
Another official whose knowledge Of
the freight situation throughout the
country is very accurate said:
"The great question which the presi-
dents have not answered and cannot
solve is what shall be done with the
low rate contracts entered into between
the western roads and their Central
Traffic Association connections, on bus
iness originating in trunk line territory
for which low rate contracts do not
expire until the next year The ans
wer to this question is the explanation
Of why nothing definite has been done
and why the committees have been or
dered TO report at the December con-
ference. Nothing can be done until
these contracts have expired, which will
be soon after the December conference.
One Of the principal items Of freight
covered by these contracts is the tre-
mendous apple crop Of New York
State. large part Of which win be
moved west at low rates"
It is understood that one Of the mat
tiers under discussion at Tuesdays con-
ference. and one which raised quite a
disturbance. was the demand that the
Chicago and Great Western return to
the roads the sum of $4,000 which it
was claimed It had received in excess
Of its share in the freight pool. Report
has II that 'he representative of that
road made most strenuous objection TO
this demand and that the matter is not
yet settled.
