RAILROAD MEN BUSY.
Secret Sessions Held By Heads of
 Every Road.

Chicago Sept Cit was learned to- day that since last Monday the work ing heads of every road embraced in the Hartman syndicate have been holding secret sessions in Chicago, and these meetings are to continue till the end of next week. Among the officials present are: J. c. Stubbs, general traffic director of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific systems; D. O. McCor- mick, general passenger traffic man. ager of the Southern Pacific; B. IL. Lomax, general passenger agent of the Union Pacific; Ben Campbell, genesal traffic manager of the Oregon Rail- way and Navigation Go; A. l.. Craig, general passenger agent of the same road, and D. b. Hurley, general pas Senger agent. of the Oregon Short Line. All of these officials brought with them their stenographers and secretaries and are quartered at the Auditorium An nex. None of them is registered and the greatest secrecy has been pre- served concerning their movements.
 When it became known in railroad circles that the meeting was being held it was said that it's object was to start vigorous campaign for the pur- pose of bringing to the Pacific coast and from there to eastern centers of commerce every dollars worth of traf fic that can be diverted to this country from the Orient.
 E. O. Mccormick, general passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pa cific. said: '.The little stream of trade that started across the Pacific practi- cally with the opening of the Philip pine campaign is beginning to increase to such an extent that it will rapidly develop into a mighty river. We be- lieve that we have made such prOvis- ions for this magnificent trade as will at least take care of it's beginnings. We have the Occidental and Oriental lines of steamers, the Pacific Mail and tht. Japanese line. and vessels tbe equal of any on the Atlantic ocean will soon be added to each of these fleets. Our agents are now travelling all through the Orient seeking trade in every city and hamlet and planting the seed of what we believe will soon he vast and rapidly increasing com merce."
 None of the other participants in the conference would discuss its real char acter except to state that schedules and details of passenger traffic were being looked into and capitalized. It is known. however. that one of the prin- c1pal objects of the meetings outside of the main and all important item of Oriental trade extension is the settle ment of the proportions of traffic be- tween the various lines embraced by the combine.

Mummy cnuses an 1nquest.

An Inca mummy in the Peruvian ex- hibit at the Pan-Anerican exposition recalls the fact that an English coro- ner actually held m inquest on simi- lar specimen. r Anril, 1899, a Peru vian mummy arrived 2t Liverpool on a steamship and ,fas 10 be forwarded to London by fail.. h some way or other the box containing the mummy got mislaid. Soue time later clerk opened 1t and WIS mortified to discover it's contents. He al once notified the coroner, who tcels charge of the box. A sober British jury, in considering the matter, returned verdict to the ef- feet that "she died on some date un- known in some foreign country, and they were satisfied that the body did not show any sign of crime in this country" The matter is again called to public attention by suit which the owner of the mummy has brought against the railway company.-Ch Chi cago Chronicle

 The conditions were fifteen shots per man at each of the following ranges: 800, 800 and 1000 yards.
 The Irish men used the 9Iannlicher and the Americans New Lee Reming- ton guns. Some fault was found yes terday with the American ammunition in the match against the Canadians, and judging from the manner in which the Ulster men have been scoring bulls eyes in practice. their special ammu- hilton which was made in Austria suits them perfectly.

BISHOP M'KIM'S OPINION.
He Says That Japan Is Very Anxious
 To Fight Russia.


 Indianapolis, Ind, Sept 6.-Bishop John McISim of Tokio. Japan, chair man of the executive board of foreign missions of the Episcopal church is visiting his brother here. Interviewed he said:
 Japan is exceedingly anxious to fight Russia. Of the people of the Mikado's realm nineteen-twentieths are eager to fight, and if it were not for Japan's pride about borrowing money she could win in a struggle with Russia. "Japan's fleet is much superior to that of Russia in the eastern waters Japan's army is larger and is made up of braver and more intelligent men than those composing Russia's forces in China and Manchuria. l think, how ever that if Japan does not fight Rus sia very soon her chances of winning will deteriorate. Russia at present has no coaIing station near Japan, but in two years the Siberia railway will be completed and the forces of the czar will then be in a much better position to war against Japan and kindred east ern powers.
 Japan is very much opposed to the pstA nlloh oL Chlhu 1hu AS SSPSSiciAiJ NaS sirous that Russia shall not secure a foothold in the empire. for the Japan ese authorities well know that Corea in such an event would soon go as Manchuria went and Russia would be impregnable in position enabling the cZar to dictate to Japan.
 Japan is anxious for the accom- plishment of an alliance between Amer ica, England and itself"

INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACES.
Story of the worId-Famous Cup--It
 Remains in America.

On Saturday, September 18th, the Columbia won the race from the Shamrock by 37 seconds. It was the most exciting race in the history of the New York Yacht club.
 Thursday good breeze continued throughout the day and a good race was sailed, resulting in a second victory for the American boat. and on Friday the Columbia won the third and decisive race.
 Two other starts were made but the velocity of the wind was insuf- ficient for the contestants to finish in the time prescribed by yachting rules.
 STORY OF THE CUP.
 On August 22, 1851, fifty years ago, the yacht, America, won the cup which the yachtsmen of Great Britain have ever since been striv ing to take back to British waters
 The cup has little intrinsic value. It is of solid silver, and stands twenty-four inches high, weighing about 1 ,OO0 ounces.
 The America was built by George Steers, of New York, and Commo- dore Stevens was her commander.
 Since then there have been ten in- ternational yacht races, Briton vs. American. Each race was for the America's cup, and in each case the Briton has been defeated. The challengers have spent at least 100000 in their attempts to re- gain the cup up to 1889, and Sir Thomas Lipton spent fully $1,OO0,- 900 trying to "lift the cup" with Shamrock, so that the grand total of dollars actually spent in racing for the greatest yacht-racing trophy in the world is $4,155,OOO, not counting the cost of the present race.
 The prize is well worth all the money and strenuous efforts put forth for its capture and defense, for it is emblematic of the sea-going championship of the world. In addition to the sum actually spent in contests for the cup, at least s. OOO, 900 have been spent by lovers of the royal sport in witnessing the races, so that this great champion ship has involved, from first to last, an expenditure of $7,155,O ,OOO.- Gazette.
 More and more each year the English yachts have been modelled | after the American design, until the two boats competing in the present contest are almost identical in structure.
