BUILDING ECUADOR ROAD.
Contractors Dispute Over Profits and
Go to Law.

New York, June 5.-Suit has been
brought in the United States circuit
court for the southern district of New
York by George D. Mum ford and St
george Lane Fox xPitt, against the
Ecuador Equipment association. The
compliments are share holders in the
Ecuador Development company, a New
Jersey corporation. They allege that in
December last a contract was entered
into between the two COMPANIES bv
which the New Jersey corporation
transferred all of the assets to the
Ecuador Equipment association for the
consideration of Ito of the profits of
the enterprise in which the New Jersey
corporation was thus engaged.
This enterprise was the building of a
railroad between Guayaqul and Quito,
Ecuador, a distance of 365 miles. Among
the assets transferred was the contract
for the building of this railway which
was made originally with the govern
ment of the republic of Ecuador. Ac-
cording to the terms of this contract the
railroad must be completed in the year
1907, and at present only one-half of
the road is built. The profits on that
half are estimated by the contestants
in this suit at 600 and on that
basis they estimate that the profits Of
the entire road will amount to between
$1,000. 900 and Sc. 00e 900 year The com
plainants interest in the stock of the
company, it is alleged, represents LIP
of the entire profit which would equal
the sum of $500. 000 It is further alleged
that by contract in September 1900 the
Ecuador association took $40 of the
stock Of the equipment company and
in that way held a majority of the
stock and controlled the New jersey
company The compliments sought to
have the contract set aside in Septem-
Der last
On Monday last they obtained a tenn
porary restraining order from Judge
LacOmbe of the United States circuit
court requiring the two defendant COM
panies from making a. proposed issue of
one million pounds sterling debenture
bonds which was scheduled to be done
on Saturday next. This order was re-
turnable yesterday. The question of a
bond to be given by the complainants
in the suit was brought up. Judge La
CON be gave his decision in the matter
today.

sAMOA,s POPULATION.
About 5000 Natives on Islands Con-
trolIed by Uncle Sam.

Washington, June SIN accordance
with instructions from the navy depart
ment Commander Benjamin F. Tilley
the naval commandant at the United
States naval station at Tutila, Samoa,
upon the population of those islands Of
ton of the United States. From the
most reliable authority in the islands
he has ascertained that the population
of Tutila totals 1000 and of the Nanua
groups 1000, including adults and child
rem. In addition to the native popula-
ton there are on the islands approx
m ately 100 whites.
Since his last report to the depart
ment Commander Tilley has visited the
islands of Nanua aboard his station
ship, the Abarenda, and has found
everything in a. most satisfactory con-
dition. The natives of these islands, he
says, exhibit a much more kindly feel
ing than ever before. They have voted
a tax for the payment of their official
and for other expenses of the govern
ment. It is paid in copra- The rate is
about 81 per head for every inhabitant.
This, says Commander Tilley, is a very
light tax and is not in the least burden
some to the natives The abundant
copra crop of the island is now being
harvested and shipped, and Commander
Tilley is endeavoring to have the ma
tives realize fair prices for it-some
thing very unusual in the past
Commander Tilley reports everything
in the island of Tutila in a very salts
factory state.

Mexican Government Declines to Per-

New York, June 5.-A dispatch from
the City of Mexico to the Herald stating
that the Mexican government has de-
clined to permit purchased antiquities
for the Museum of National History in
this city to be taken from the country,
has been called to the attention of
Marshall Fl. Saville, the assistant cura-
tor of the museum. He dug out many
specimens in Mexico and according to
the museums contract with the govern
ment, it was entitled to one of all the
specimens of which there were dupli-
Gates.
There were many other antiquities
which Mr.. Saville purchased and these
were left at Mexico City, pending the
granting of permission to take them
out of the country.
Mr.. Saville said when interviewed:
why the Mexican government
should do this am at loss to under
stand imagine the new minister has
1 received assurances that permission
had been granted for the antiquities to
be taken out of the country. I know
the Mexicans have a law which pre-
vents the taking of antiquities out of
the country and it is only our contract
that allows US to do it.
There were no idols among the col
lection,only pieces of pottery and stone.
of course, 1 purchased many specimens
that I believed would be of value and
it is these I understand that are held.

CHILDREN IN MILLS.
English Woman Charges Mere Babies

New York, June 5.-Direct response
bility for the condition OF child labor ex-
listing in southern mills is charged by
an English woman who has been in
vestigating the subject for Samuel
Gompers, to apitalisrs and mill owners in
New York and other northern cities. The
woman is Miss Irene A Ashby and she
recently visited Alabama and other
southern states on a tour of investiga-
ton. In speaking of her experience be-
fore the Social Reform club she said:
I found that in many mills in Ala
hama and Georgia one half of the opera
the percentage ran as low as six or
seven Their ages from to II and of
course beyond.
The mill owners and proprietors said
in extenuation that they had taken these
people from their little farms where they
were living in conditions of the utmost
poverty and brought them together in
communities and made of them an IN
dustrial people. But the children saw
living on the little farms had bright
cheeks and round limbs, while those I
saw IN the mills were haggard and wan

bill introduced. In answer they put up
the manager Of a mill entirely cOntroll-
ed by northern labor, mill that had
moved to the south from the heart Of
New England.
The representative they had before
