the British government any obligation
whatever. Did they owe her any debt
of loyalty or support? None whatever.
Both were completely independent of the
British crown There had been a time
when the TranSvaal was under more or
less control of the British crown, and
at one time she was asked to protect
them from the Zulus, but that the Brit
iSh government did not want to do. But
then again there came a time when the
British government wanted to have a

WANT THE KANSAS PACIFIC.
Gould Anxious to Control the Kansas
City-Denver Line.

The Denver papers state that the
Gould and Hartman interests are
struggling for the possession of the
Kansas Pacific line between KAN
sas City and Denver. This line is
known here as the Union Pacific
1t is stated that George Gould has
secured a majority OF the stock and
that the ownership of the Kansas Pa
cific will pass to him before the end of
1902 Hartman, however, has not alto
gether abandoned hope, and is still re-
sisting the Gould influences as best he
can.
George Gould wants this valuable $40
miles of track to add to his Wabash
system at Kansas City and give him a
straight through route to Denver
On the other hand the directors and
stakeholder of the Chicago & Alton are
evidently most confident Within the
past year they have opened here one
of the handsomest offices in the city
and appointed a general agent, Colonel
H H. Shepperd. This aggressive move
indicates a determination to secure an
increased share of local and tranScon-
tinental business.
There is much speculation among
railway ~fnanciers all over America re-
garding the outcome of the struggle for
western supremacy.
George Gould's financial standing
needs little commen He is the head
of the Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain,
Rio Grande systems, the Wabash and
numerous valuable eastern lines.
Z. H Harrina an, the dominating force
of the syndicate which bears his name,
is one of the most remarkable modern
fnanciers. He virtually controls this
following lines, in which he holds these
offices: Chicago & Alton, chairman of
the executive COMMITTEES; Union Pacific,
chairman of the board of directors;
Oregon Railway and Navigation COM
pany, president; Southern Pacific, pres
ident, etc. His desire therefore for the
Kansas Pacific line is backed by some
of the greatest moneyed interests and
influence in America
His s~hrewdness as a manipulation is
evident from a glance at his history in
the past Is years.
In actual wealth, however, George
Gould is Harriman's superior, and as
after all the battle is practically one of
money, local railway men are not sur
prised to hear that Gould has secured
the old Kansas Pacific line.

THE AMERICAN BOY.
He rs Acknowledged to Be Brighter
Than the English Boy.

New York., Dec. 39-The plan sug-
gested by Alfred Mosely, the English
man who made a big fortune in the
South African diamond fields, to send
Englishmen to America to study COM
mercial methods there, was indorsed by
a recent meeting presided over by
Lord Reacy, chairman of the london
school board and including Sir Joshua
Fitch, chief inspector of training col
leges; Sidney Webb and DIR. W. Gar
nett. chairman and Secretary aspect
lively of the technical education board
of the London county council, says the
Londo correspondent of the Journal
and Advertiser.
As a result the first batch of pupils
will cave here in August next for a
four months stay in the United States.
1t viii consist of a commission of two
or three of parliament, the
heads Of some of the biggest business
houses, a few labor leaders and repre-
sentatves of the leading universities.
Mr.. Mosely says that the American
boy il brighter than the English boy
and consequently becomes a brighter
man. Hence he believes that there
must be something in the American ed
u~cational system which is lacking in
the English system and this is one of
the things that the commission is to try
to discover. They will also study
American methods of commerce and
industry.
