Figures on the Total Railroad Earn
ings of the Country.

Chicago, Oct. 5--From complete returns
for the fiscal year ended June 80, received
from roads which contributed 80 per. cent
it is estimated the total railroad earnings
for the year will exceed 81, 600, 900 COO. This
will be increase of more than $135 OOO.-
600 over the previous year. The rate of
increase has not been SO great as in the
previous year but it has been great

Car Service Men Hold a Meeting at
Ell Paso.

The Ell Paso Herald says: Charles r.
Peck, manager of the Texas Car Serv-
ice association is here from Houston
on his annual visit, looking after the
car service business and comforting
with c. w. Xouns, superintendent of
car service of the Santa F'e, and Supt.
Fox of the New Mexico division of the
Santa Fe Mr. Peck is accompanied by
Samuel Black, his inspector at Dallas,
who has his wife with him
Mr. Peck's jurisdiction includes all
the railroads in the state of Texas,
thirty-two in number. Besides three
inspectors he has three local agents,
James Paul being his agent at this
place. When ne comes to Ell Paso he
always notifies Supt. Kouns. who comes
down from Topeka to meet him, as the
business of the car service here is
largely in connection with the Santa
Fe, owing to the business that road
does with the srnelter Now that an
other smelter has been erected on the
E. p. & N. E. that road will come in
for a larger share of the car service
business, and Mr.. Peck was out con-
ferring with Mr. Shelby of that road
this afternoon in regard to the increase
of traffic.

RATES CUT IN TWO.
Trip From Chicago to Buffalo Now
Costs Only Sc.

Chicago. Oct. 5.-A round trip rate of
Sc from Chicago to Buffalo will be put
in by all lines beginning today This
rate IS to prevail until the close of the
Pan-American exposition The tickets
will be sold every Tuesday. Thursday
and Saturday and will be honored only
in coaches
This reduced rate was decided lIpon
by the general passenger agents of the
eastern roads at a meeting YESTERDAY
The rate agreed upon from all points
east of this city was one-half of one
fare for the round trip. This rate will
apply from the territory east as we'll
as west of Buffalo and it is expected
that it will result in enormous crowds
attending the exposition
The fares agreed upon. say agents of
The Topeka state journal., 1901-10-05

the interested roads, are the lowest
that have ever been named in the
eastern territory by agreement for any
occasion. The action is the result Of an
appeal made to the railroads by offi-
cials of the Pau-American exposition
be honored in sleeping cars it is not be-
1ieved that this restriction will prevent
crowded trains. Officers of the roads
say there IS no question that all lines
will be taxed to their limit to furnish
equipment to handle the thousands
that will take advantage of the un-
usual rate The tickets probably will
be limited to one week, perhaps a
shorter time, to prevent extensive
scalping in Buffalo.

WHAT KANSAS WANTS.
Request For Two Bishops Comes Up
IN Episcopal Convention.

San Francisco, Oct. 5.-Five new
bishops may be chosen at the present
triennial convention of the Episcopal
church. bishop must be elected for
the district of Olympia in the state of
Washington to take the place of Rev.
Mr. Barker who died recently. Rev. DR..
Clarmpett's name and personality are
prominently mentioned for the place. A
bishop must be elected for the mission
ary diocese of North Dakota, to take the
place of the Right Rev. DR.. Edsell, bishop
of Minnesota A clergyman elevated to
this bishopric will more than likely be
chosen from the northwestern field
There will also be a bishop provided
for Porto Rico and another for the Phil
ippines if not for both, probably one for
the new inSular groups
A bishop may also be appointed for
Hawaii. And here again well inform
ed, popular and efficient western clergy
man may be chosen, though the east
may be the recruiting field The adv1s-
ability of appointing bishop for Hawaii
will be one of the critical questions and
the policy problems of the present con-
vention. In addition to the discussion
of creating or filling some or all of these
five bishoprics by election at this con-
yentiOn there are possibilities that two
new missionary jurisdictions with mis-
sionary bishops may be created in the
United States. One would be in contral
Illinois and the other a part of the state
of Kansas. The house of bishops has
received petitions calling for divisions of
territory to create these two jurisdic-
tions. One petition is from the diocese
of Springfield, one of three dioceses into
which the state of Illinois is divided.
The other is from the diocese of Kansas,
which embraces the entire state. Each
diocese requests that a part be cut off
of it's territory and made into a mis-
sionary jurisdiction. This plan is to re-
lieve the present diocese in each case
from supporting the church work in the
proposed new districts, all missionary
jurisdiction being maintained from the
oanara1 f1Ind.

SCHLEY TO RETIRE.
Admiral Will Reach Age Limit Next
Wedn esday-

Washington, Oct. 5.-Next Wednes-
day, the 9th of October, Rear Admiral
Schley will retire from the active list
of the navy by age limit and from
present prospects this will take place
while the court of inquiry is still in
session. His retirement will promote
two captains to be rear admiralS. Capt.
Frank Wildes, who was in command of
the Boston during the battle of Manila
Bay. now heads the lists of captains.
He was promoted for war service. and
under the law, his advancement must
not retard the regular course of pro-
motions. Therefore Captain Henry E.
GLASS; who stands next to him on the
list of the captains also will enter the
list of rear admirals of the navy
Other promotions resulting from Ad-
miral Schley's retirement will be those
of Commanders F. G. Gilmore and Eu-
gene Luetze, who become captains and
