NEW AUDITOR OF THE KAYsEE.
Not Aware that a Portion of His
Force Had Beer DismisseL.


Beaumont, Texas, August 1,--Mr, George
B. Gallon. recently appointed auditor OF
the Gulf. Beaumont and Kansas City
railroad, notice OF which was made in The
Post several days ago, arrived in the city
last night and this morning assumed the
management of the auditing department
of the Kaysee.
1t was learned last night that several
OF the employees of the Kaysee auditing
department, who have been employed
there for some time, were given notice
that their gervices would not be required
after July 81. In view of this ract it
seemed that Mr.. Gallon was going to make
some radical changes in the management
of the affairs of the office. but this is NOT
true.
The Post correspondent called on Mr..
Gallon this morning and learned from
him that he was wholly unaware that any
OF the former employees OF the department
had been dismissed ana said that it was
not done through him at all.
IT have brought no help with me at all '
said Mr., Gallon, land expected to con-
tinue the same employees OF the Office, I'M
less there were good reasons for not doing
so. l have not yet Strengthened out mat
tiers and was wholly unadvised that any
one had been dismissed from that depart
ment."

TERRITORIAL COMMITTEES.
Agent BECKER Was TO Start st. Louis
OF Yesterday.

OF Yesterday.
It will be remembered that the Chicago
meetings of railway presidents decided
to divide the country up into territorial
divisions. Yesterday F. o. Becker, gen
eral agent of the st. Louis committee,
which has jurisdiction OF the Southwest
ern lines, was to take charge, and If
any charges Of rate cutting are made It
will be Mr.. Becker's duty to fully inves-
tigate the reports.
No appointment has yet been made
for the St. Paul committee, but j. V. A.
Mahoney, chairman Of the Sioux City
Commercial association, is said to have
been favorably considered for the posi-
ton. Mr. Mahoney's candidacy has the
support Of a number OF Western traffic
managers, owing to the experience he has
had with the commercial organizations. He
was prominent in the movement for the
anti-scalping bill. The special committee
that was appointed TO walt on the North
ern Pacific and ascertain It's intentions
did not get much satisfaction The man
agement declined to commit themselves
TO the proposition submitted. The other
interested roads may decide to go ahead
and complete their organization without
the Northern Pacific in expectation that
that road will become convinced later o.

THE close attention 20 cetal by great

Major Andrews, Southwestern passenger
agent of The Southern railroad. 1T Is cs-
sential, because the TITLE d9,ails must
ht in together 10 make the whole per-
feet. For instance. on our pig system, IN
making out acquisitions for supplies we
must make them out on stated Gays for
stated articles, and draw sixty days sup
ply at time, Should we fail 20 do this
our orders would lay over until the next
regular day In case OF emergency we
have a rush order blank, printed on dit
ferent colored paper from the other blauAs,
and It always takes precedence. Unless
we had thorough system there wolld soon
he confusion disorder, and naturally loss
OF time and money, and every one work
ing for the Southern fully appreciates the
necessity OF this discipline, presume
all other lines OF business, conducted on
big scales are compelled to have all
branches conducted With order aud sys-

TO CUT WAY TO POLE.
Russia to Use Powerful Iceship in
Arctic Exploration.
VIII he Sent North Next summer and
VIII Attempt to Break Pnssnge
Through the Immense Ice
Fields There.

An entirely new departure in arctic
exploration will be made next sum-
mer. Russia will send north her won
derful iceship, the Yermak. with in
structions to try to cut her way
through to the pole. The perform
ances of this vessel in cutting and
tearing her way at three or four miles
an hour through the immense ice
fields of the Baltic sea and other Rus
sian waters have excited amazement
among all who have witnessed Them
She is now being equipped and inn
proved for the greatest of all tasks.
The Armstrong; at Elswick have
just completed a new bow which IS
especially designed to encounter the
field of ice in the Arctic sea, which
is heavier and thicker than any which
the Yermak has yet attacked. The
original bow was easily capable Of
dealing with any of the enormous ice
fields which Russia produces. She
went to high latitude on an expert
mental trip last summer and accom-
plished all that could be expected OF
her in her assaults upon the eternal
ice which she then encountered. The
alterations now being made were s'lg-
gested by this experience.
Admiral Makaroff, who is superin-
tending the changes, has the greatest
confidence that his ship will cut her
way without delay straight to the
pole and will return safely in the
same season. Every precaution has
been taken to fit her out for long
stay in case of accident or blockade.
Admiral Makaroff has refused to give
out details of the plans or even to
admit that the expedition will be un
dertaker. but there is no doubt on
this point. No information is yet
available as to the route to be taken
or how the coal problem will be
solved. There will be supplies at one
or two points in Arctic Russia and
probably a collier will carry an addi-
tional supply as far as the ice will
| permit

TAKES IT'S OWN PICTURE.
Button While the Camera Faith
fully Does the Rest.

After repeated failures to secure a
satisfactory negative of a train in
motion, Ayrault Green, an expert Chi
cago photographer, recently made
the Burlington's Denver Flyer take
its own picture. This he accom-
plished by an electric switch which
when connected with the rail closes
the circuit as soon as it is struck by
the engine. The switch communicates
with set of dry cells, and thence to
shutter release.
When the successful test was made,
the switch was put in place about six
feet behind the spot where it was call
culated that the front of the engine
would appear when the shutter was
released. When the engine struck
the switch it closed the circuit, the
high-speed shutter moved, and the
picture was correctly registered on
the center of the plate.

INDIAN BRIDES IN DEMAND.
White Men Flock to the Territory 10
Get Red Wives Who Possess
Fortunes.

Thousands of white men have
moved into the Indian territory with
in the last three months in search of
Indian wives who have the large for
tunes told about in the eastern news
papers. 1t is not uncommon for ten
or fifteen men seeking these dusky
brides to pass through Wichita, Kan,
every day. Nearly all of the wife
hunters make no effort to conceal
the fact; in fact they are glad that
they are on the right road to a rich
wife, no matter as to color or man
ner. Reports from the various mar
riage license clerks in the Indian ma
tions state that within the last three
months over 5000 marriage licenses
have been issued, and that all of them
are between white men and Indian
women. All of the women are
anxious to marry white men.

OFFERS SCHOOL A FORTUNE.
James MiIIiken Makes Proposition
to Give Decatur College
100000.

James Millikeh has made another
proposition to the college commission
of the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, in which he in effect offers
the commission and the proposed in
dustrial school for Decatur, H., $780,
900. This is in addition to the offer
of $225.OOO previously made to the De-
catur school and $4,000 to the Lin
coin school. If all the plans now pro-
in Decatur, combined with Lincoln
university, will have an endowment
of over 81 100000 In the last propo-
sition he stated that if the plans pro-
posed for raising 100000 by the citi-
zens of Decatur and 100000 by the
Cumberland Presbyterian church
were carried out he would place in
trust for the benefit of the school
property that would yield perpetually
from $4,000 to $4,000 year. This
last offer is calculated to be worth
$400, 900.
1t will certainly be accepted, be-
cause the new school will be organ
lied on the lines first proposed, which
were that the citizens of Decatur
should raise 100000 and the Cumber-
land Presbyterians should raise like
amount, and Lincoln university
should be combined with the new
school, both schools being maintained,
but under one management.
The people of Decatur have already
raised their 100000 and there is lit
tie doubt that the church will, raise
it's part

THEATERS IN RUSSIA.
Between Acts and the Amount of
Applause Actors Shall Receive.

1t is reported that the police of
Kieff. Russia, have taken the theaters
of that city, in hand. They have not
found it necessary to measure the
length of the skirts of the members
Of the ballet. The evils which they
desire to correct, and no doubt have
already satisfactorily corrected, are
of another character. There was some
complaint that the pauses between
the acts were too long, and the police
decided that these waits must not last
over Is minutes. The police also dis
covered that certain actors were be-
ing applauded far beyond their real
merits. They therefore decided that
in future no actor may be applauded
more than three times during the
same performance.
