CAN'T STOP THE BEAR.
Nations Are Powerless to Arrest Pro-
gress of Russia.

New York, July ga special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The government at Washington has
come into possession of important views
upon the sweeping developments now
occurring in the far east as entertain
ed by one of its most trusted agents at
present in China-an official who has
spent much of the last twenty years
there and in COrea and Japan From
this confidential communication the
Tribune is enabled to make the follow
ing verbatim extracts:
Korea is the storm center, if there is
one, just now. The government of the
emperor is a greedy, cruel and rapac-
iouS personal despotism and Russia is
playing with the territory as a cat does
with a mouse. She is perfecting her
railway system in Siberia and Man.
churfa and when she is ready she will
come down through the Korean penin-
sula and plant her military and COM
mercial establishments in the mag
nif1cent harbor of Masanpho. in the
southeast, whence she can descend
upon Japan and which lies between the
British interests in the north and their
base at Hong Kong. To this end Rus
sia seeks to control, or build and con-
troll a railway from the northwestern
frontier Of Korea, near Mukden, to
Masanpho but her agreement with
sions in Korea and therefore France
steps in to her aid

Brown, though made on a side issue to
which he lent himself with absurd stu
pidity, was for the purpose of getting
the pledge OF the customs revenue for
the loan. For the purpose of protect
ing her credit, Korea placed her Gus
toms revenue under the control of a
foreigner as commissioner and whose
consent can not be pledged. Mr. Brown
was deposed for refusing to vacate
some public offices. but. under pressure
was reinstated, and the matter is in
abeyance for the moment. Russia views
the opposition with tolerant amuse-
ment and will win.
when the real purport of the Nc
Leavy Brown incident became evident
Japan was much alarmed, and with
good reason. Her finances can not stand
the stress Of her armaments and the
cabinet has gone to pieces on the f7nan-
ciaI issue. A feeble. stop gap ministry
can hardly be said to be in power, and
the country is drifting. possibly into
war with Russia, like a rudderless junk.
Whatever temporary success she may
have if she goes to war with Russia. it
will insure her having to fight for her
very existence in her own islands, and
that before many years.
Great Britain could not stop Russia

not, for she does not care to accelerate

salina and oaklev Branch.

On the line of the Salina, Plainville &
Oakley branch of the Union Pacific
wheat is being dumped on the ground
at several towns on account of the
shortage of cars to move it. Piles OF
wheat are noticeable at Luray, Plain
vile and PalcO.
The Union Pacific has a general
cleaning up once a week on the Salina
& Oakley branch. This usually occurs
Sunday, when one and two extra trains
loaded with from 35 to 40 cars of grain
are hauled off the branch to Salina.
One of the busiest towns on the Sa-
lima & Oakley branch is Morland. The
business men believe it will be to the
best interests of the railroad company
to give the place a telegraph Office
Some of the travelling statesmen tell
of their experience while waiting for a
train on the Sa1ina, Plainville & Oak

train If it was on time, about 10: 80
O'Clock that night They fell asleep on
the platform, and woke up in time the
next morning to catch the train about
O'Clock. It was about ten hours late,
which isn't unusual for the west
bound train between Plainville and
Oakley.
The Palco depot is the prettiest on
the entire line of the Salina & Oakley
branch
The trains on the salina & Oakley
branch are about the only ones who
are not suffering from an ice famine.
Every time the train stops crowds of
people flock in to get a drink of ice
water.
There are rumors that the Union Pa
cific will soon be running their passen-
ger train on the Salina & Oakley
branch to Oakley instead of Plainville.

Fearful that the engines may start
fires near the railroad this dry wealth
er, the Union Pacific carries with
trains on the Salina & Oakley branch,
a fire brigade to check any fire the en-
gine may start. The brigade did some
good work between Plainville and

COMBINATION HOSPITAL
Missouri Pacific Figures on a Location
at Pueblo.

Pueblo, Colo, July 29.-Dr. W. 3. Out
ten chief surgeon for the Missouri Pa
cidc hystem, is in Pueblo for his health.
Together with Mrs. Outten and his two
children, Mr.. Outten will spend a month
or so in Pueblo. Speaking of the abb
sorbtion by the Goulds of the Denver
& Rio Grande system, from the stand
point of the hospital department, Dr.
Outten said that he expected a large
general hospital for the combined sys-
TENS to be erected in Pueblo within a
short time
Although. he says. there have been
no definite plans formulated as yet, the
arrangement of these is but a matter
OF time. DR.. Outten considers Pueblo
one of the most healthful places in the
western country and continually sends
patients from the general hospital Of
the Missouri Pacific, which is now To-
Gated in st. Louis, to Pueblo. DR.. Dug
gins has charge of the OBTAINING station
here and at present has two men who
were sent out from St. Louis. when

BUILD TO PUEBLO.
Burlington Will Construct q Line 200
Miles in Length.

Pueblo, Colo. July 2s.-No less an au-
thority than G. w. Holdredge, general
manager of the Burlington g. Missouri
River railroad in Nebraska, with head
quarters at Omaha, has stated in an in
terview that the much talked of line
of the Burlington road into Pueblo will
shortly materialize. 1t is expected that
surveys will be commenced within a
few months.
The original plan contemplated was
to build a line to Pueblo from st. Fran
els, kan, but this plan has been al
tered, and now it is probable that the
line will be constructed from Brush,
Colo, a distance of about 40 miles on
an air line. This Will give a more direct
connection with the main line and
make it more readily accessible to the
large smelling facilities of Pueblo.
The route of the projected line will
probably be from Brush up Badger
creek, across the K p at Agate, then
south to Bijou to the Arkansas divide,
across the Rock Island at Ramah,
thence to the headwaters of the Black
Squirrel creek and from that point d.
rect to Pueblo. This route would re-
ouire about 200 miles of roadbed and
much of the way would be down grade

Orient Grading Gang Soon to Leave

Emporia, July 2s.-The Orient will
finish their work in Lyon county for
the present in about a week. It is said
that the gang will then be taken to
Wichita to work on the road there. At
present it G. Isists of nearly $50 men
and 100 teams.
The grader is working on west of the
other parts of the gang being out near

about five miles of grade finished out

ished as fast as the men can do the
work.
So after all it seems that the injunc-

put a spoke in the wheel of the Ori-

ORIENT SHIPPING TIES.
Several Hundred Carloads Have Been

ten more cars of ties for the Orient

the total number of cars of ties re-

advice of two hundred cars more, that
will be forwarded as fast as cars can
be had and loaded.
The steel has been ordered for some
time, but must take its turn with other
orders at the rail mill, but it is expected
that shipments will be made very soon.
The rails will probably come from the
