Totals of9Ot TJA@ovfslSV
Here is an increase of over $1,000
600 in the wages of railway employees
In the four years of McKinley's adj
miniStration.
The total operating expenses of Unit
ed States railways in 1899 were $685.
5000. and of this sum 500, 96S, 900
went to pay the wages of employees.
OF every so paid out by the railways
for operating expenses, Sc went to pay
wages and salaries of employees.
Now observe how large a proportion
of railway earnings goes to pay the
wages of labor as compared with the
proportion going to pay interest or divi-
dends to the holders of railway securi-
ties. In the following table the figures
are given 70 even millions only:
Total earnings from operation. ,Sl3 900 900
Paid in salaries and wages. .......... 900
Other operating expenses ............ 33i, 100000

Dividends on stock ................... Ill,OOooO
Taxes ...................... "A, 600 900
Permanent improvements ....:1...... 22,OOOOO
Other payments .................s.... q. 900 900
1t must be remembered in consider
ing the above that very large proper
ton of the "Other operating expenses
and of the expenditure on permanent
improvements actually goes to pay
wages. In the purchase of rolling
stock, for example, the bulk of the
purchase money goes to pay wages of
workmen in locomotive and ear shops
lust as would be the case if the rolling
stock were built in the company's own
shops. Making allowance for this, it
seems probable that not less than 60
per cent of the total receipts of rail-
way companies is paid out directly as
wages to labor.

Prescott, Ariz.. March S.-Parties who
arrived in Prescott today from the
Tonic Basin country state that an
other war is threatened there similar
to that of 1887 and 1883. when forty peo-
pie were killed in what was known
as the Tewksbury Graham feud.
While not to exceed half a dozen
men of those engaged in that feud are
alive today, the causes which brought
it about still exist, and new men seem
willing 10 fight on the same old lines.
The trouble is between the cattlemen
and the sheepmen. Large herds Of
sheep from northern Arizona are
driven south for the winter, returning
to their northern grazing grounds
again in the spring, and one of the
usually well Watered, and Gbounds in
good grass.
The drouth of the past year has
men served notice on the sheepmen that
on account Of the conditions they would
not be permitted to return north by this
route this spring. The latter sent back
word that they were going through
Tonic Basin if they had 10 fight their
way
The advance guard of the returning
1Ocks were met by the cattlemen and
turned back and scattered. Several
cases of arms and ammunition are
known TO have been shipped into the
section recently. ana open threats have
also been made by the interester parties
to shoot each other on sight.

RUM0RED OVERTURES
FOR PEACE BY BOERS

London. March 9. AIS a. m-Tba
Beers appear to have made no stand
whatever. except that while in retreat
they twice repulsed General French's
cavalry with rife IRE. As no ra7ort
has been made OF the capture of pri~1n-

their entire force. General French Is
still following them and keeping be-

London, March S.-Queen Victoria
and the people Of the greatest city in
ner empire today celebrated the vic
tories which they believe have trans
formed the campaign in South Africa
from one Of reverse into one Of success.
That is the only explanation of the IN
bounded, the unparalleled enthusiasm
with which hundreds of thousands
hailed their sovereign.
In many ways these demonstrations
outdld these of the diamond jubilee. al

ge2nts, no triumphal arches. no pro

Guards, followed by a little old lady in
tie plainest black costume, who had
come for few days stay at Bucking
ham palace, as she has done many
times before Yet her hold upon the
hearts of her people was probably
never more stTikingly manifested.
Unlike that of the diamond Jubilee
today's popular Outburst wes almost
lmpromptu. The fierce pride in the
strength of mighty empire that per-
Vaded London exultatiOn when the
queen last drove through the streets
in 1887, haG vanished, and in its place
there were genuine thankfulness and
rejoicing for the victories which had
succeeded months of gloom.
Mothers in Deep Mourning.
The depth Of feeling which this dem
onstration represented could only be
gagged by those who mingled with the
crowd. Mothers in deep mourning for
sons killed on the far off veIdt strug-
gied bravely with the most hilarious TO
catch glimpse of the queen, whose
womanly sympathy and thoug htfulness
tor the soldiers had touched their
hearts.
Often the long. cold vigils were rem
dered futile by tears that dimmed the
eyes and blurred the vision as the royal
carriage passed. As one very old woman
said: I've seen her many a time. but
she said she was sorry for my boy. and
l must see her again before 1 die"
thousands braved the raw east wind
and stood for hours patiently waiting
who have often seen the queen and
who. in ordinary circumstances. would
scarcely bulge to watch her pass.
Among those were many personal
friends of the sovereign, as. for in
stance. the Countess of Brownlow. a
great friend Of Victoria and a favorite
at court, who sat on the curb shivering
for hours with the crowd outside Buck
ingham palace.
Outlet For Jubilation.
In short, it was not so much a desire
TO see the monarch as it was an over
Whelming need OF an outlet for jubila-
ton over the war and natural incli-
nation to let the queen see and share
the gladness Of her people that prompt
