The signing of the contract for the construc-
ton of the $50 600 900 tunnel railroad was, of
course, the chief event in rapid transit history
yesterday but while all eyes and thoughts were
centred on that mOmentous transaction two or
three items of news slipped out of August Bel
mont's bag Of secrets which on any other oc-
casion would have been thought of first class
Importance.
One Of these was the admission by Mr.. Bel
mont himself that the fifty year franchise for
the operation of the road after it is built and
equipped is now the property of the Rapid Tran
sit Subway Construction Company. This is the
first inkling the public has had of the nature of
the bargain which Mr.. Mcdonald drove with
the bankers when he found the guarantee COM
panies were trying to squeeze him. Just after
the bids for the contract were opened many
speculations published about the cost Of
the work, and not a few agreed in estimating
that Mr. McDonald's bid Of $50, 100000 for con-
struction and equipment was so surprisingly
low that any profit he would make must come
from the sale or sub-lettng of the fifty year
franchise Mr.. Mcdonald, it now appears. has
only a stockholders interest in the franchise.
Another surprise the fact that Perry
Belmont August's brother. whose connection
with the affair in any way at all has been re-
neetedlv denied came forward as the sole sure
" for the 81 100000 continuing bond. and quail
fed i'm double the amount. This is generally
accepted as indirect proof that Perry Belmont's
name is on the carefully guarded list of con-
struction company stockholders. Perry Bel
mont deposited with the Controller the follow
ing securities:
Six hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
New-York City bonds at 8 and 3R per cent;
$3.50 900 in Illinois Central per cent bonds;
$4,000 in Illinois Central per cent bonds
For the remainder of the $2000000 in which
he was obliged TO qualify he gave his own per-
sonal guarantee and security

AGAINST DISCRIMINATION.
The Transportation Committee Is
At Work To Secure Equitable
Rates For FL pdSo.

The committee on transportation OF
the chamber of commerce met last
night at the Office of Secretary Russell
on Little plaza. There were
present Messrs. Browne, Moye, Section.
Springer, Martin and Payne, absent
Mr.. Small.
In the discussion of the roll question
many instances were cited by mem
bers to show that Ell Paso was being
Disseminated against in the matter OF
jobbing rates. An exhaustive list Is
being prepared showing these dis
Grimm a tions which at the proper time
will be laid before the officials of
the several railroads with request
that they revise their rates in the in
terest OF justice. 1t is the policy OF the
committee to exhaust every possible
means to secure q fair and amicable
adjustment before taking any other
steps. and it is hoped that a candid and
forcible statement OF the facts will
have the desired effect.
The committee instructed the secre
tary to obtain from the railroads infor-
nation as to the rates between certain
points concerning which the commit
tee was not posted.

There has been good deal of com

occasionally when they happen to find
it convenient to do so. Some, 1t is
claimed, instead of going to the fires,
content themselves with running
around to headquarters and wait there
until the men come in to answer the

THE FREE ZONE.
Citizens OF JudreZ To Hold a Mass
Meeting Tomorrow To Agitate
For the Abolition.

The citizens of JuareZ are about to
take action to petition the governme en-
for the abolition of the free zone or at
least for the abolition of the tariff on
native goods shipped.
A number of the prominent citizens,
among them Q. Arguelles, Caldron
Brothers, and the Escobar Brothers
and Others, have issued q call for "a
mass meeting to be held Sunday after
noon at the hall of the Ciudad Juarez
de Obreros to get up petition to the
federal government asking that the
duty on goods manufactured in the
free zone be abolished, and, failing in
this, they will ask for the entire abo-
lition of the free zone.
AT the present, as has been publish
ed, goods native to the zone pay duty
of 0per cent when shipped into the
interior. When imported from abroad
into Jusrez they pay ISL per cent of
the regular duty. The government
naturally charges high duty on manu-
material thus working a double hard
ship On the Free Zone. Then, If
mandatory is started and raw mate
rial imported, first the 49, per cent
duty must be paid then when the goods
are manufactured and shipped into
the interior the duty Is about
quadruple that which would be charged
on articles manufactured in the inte-
rior where the only duty would be on
the raw material. Thus manufactures
are in fact absolutely prohi bited.
The universal decline of the town,
the closing aud moving away of stores
and business houses have become such
as to alarm the citizens and they are
anxiously seeking relief. When it
becomes necessary for the authorities
to remove taxation and distribute
a Tn
starvation and misery the citizens say
1t is time for radical action. If the
duty were removed many factories now
starting up in the interior might locate
at Juarez. Everywhere else Mexico
seems prosperous.
