"LIMIrEDn WELL LOADED.
Initial Trip Was a Most Successful
One

At 1925 Monday morning the first
train of the daily Limited pulled into
Topeka, in charge of Engineer H G.
Rust and Conductor Elmer E. Hay.
There were four sleepers, a diner and Il
buffet smoking car, all practically new
from the shops The trainmen. dressed
in new uniforms, were the han6somest
that could be picked, and the pas
sengers. who crowded the capacity OF
the California train, seemed to appre-
ciate highly the honor of making the
initial trip.
Travelling across the continent on this
train is as near the acme of comfort
and convenience as has yet been at
tanned On board are stenographer
and barber Market reports are re-
ceived at the principal stops, and books,
papers and maga zines are kept on file
The stops are few and brief, while
everything possible is gotten out of the
way in order that the train may be run
on its schedule The Limited arrives
at Topeka 20 minutes past 10, and de-
parts five minutes later.

SLEPT IN NEW YORK.
President Spent the Night at
the Home of His Aunt.

New York Nov 5-President and
Mrs. Roosevelt and party arrived in
New York at $40 last night, one hour
and 20 minutes behind schedule time.
The party remained in New York over
night.
The president was in excellent spirits
and enjoyed to degree the little re-
spite from official exactions. He spent
most of the trip from Washington chat
ting jovially with the rest of his party
or on the observation platform of his
car.
Owing to the care with which the ex-
act itinerary of the trip was guarded
from the public there were but few
people along the line waiting to see the
president until Newark was reached.
There a crowd pressed the station
gates. The president took along with
him as far as Baltimore Caspar Whit
ney, editor of Outing" AT Baltimore
he spent the two or three minutes stop
pacing the station platform alone. The
day was cloudy and threatening and he
remarked that it was a fitting contrast
to the weather conditions he hoped to-
day.
The only untoward incident of the
journey was the delay due to a freight
wreck at Claymont, Della, which made
it necessary to shift the train to the
Baltimore & Ohio tracks, in which it
ran as far as West Philadelphia. AS
the train lay in the yards for some
minutes the president stepped to the
platform and smilingly greeted a group
of railroad employees, who climbed upon
the platform and shook hands with
him. He told them that he was glad
TO see their interest in politics as evil
denced by the municipal campaign but
tons they wore.
When the train pulled into the Jer-
sey City station it had made up a few
minutes time. A big crowd had gath
cred and a number of secret service
men, detectives and newspaper men
followed the party to the ferry boat.
where carriages were waiting. Arrived
at New York the president and party
were driven to the residence of the
presidents aunt Mrs. James H. Roose-
velt
About 10 o'clock the president left his
aunt's house and in company with one
of his cousins, William A. Roosevelt,
went in closed automobile to the Cen
tury club, where ten or a dozen per-
sona1 friends gave him an informal re-
ception No list of those present was
given out, but it is known Prof Nicho-
las Murray Butler and Prof Brander
Matthews were among them. After this
President Roosevelt returned to his
aunt's residence to pass the night
On the way to and from the club the
president was closely guarded by de-
tectives, dozen in all, and detectives
and police guarded the house in which
he slept throughout the night.

Agreement Haa Been Reached.

New York, Nov. Sit was officially
stated that an agreement had been made
whereby the tangle in the Northwestern
railway situation resulting from the
corner of Northern Pacific shares on the
stock exchange early in May, and which
caused the panic of May 9, will be set
tied Officials connected with the var
iOuS companies at interest absolutely
refuse to give out any statement in re-
gard to the rumored agreement. 1t was
stated on good authority, however. that
the settlement involving the widespread
interests of the Union Pacific, Great
Northern and Northern Pacific pre-
fe1red stock on a basis of 115 or above
and the issuance of AZ per cent bonds,
one-third of which, it was stated, would
be allotted to Union Pacific interests.
The crux of the reported agreement lay
in the proposed division of territory
whereby the railways mentioned shall
have complete traffic agreements re-
garding a certain territory in the coun-
try tapped by those lines. 1t is general
ly understood that this plan of settle
ment awaits the approval of w. K.
Vanderbilt, who is expected to arrive
from Europe on WednesdaY's steamer.

Ell PAso UNION DEPOT.

Maps of the recent surveys for the pro-

figured upon and surveyed, the work hay
ing been completed last week.
The first. and which appears the more
feasible. lies for 1000 yards west of the
intersection of San Francisco, Main and

yards in width.
