MAJOR MYERS REPLY.

Mr.. Gravy asked that the reply of.
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-5
mac Railway Company to his resolution
regarding its contracts with the Sea-
board Air Line be read. A letter was
read from Major Myers stating that the
only contract his road had made with
the Seaboard Air Line was for the NOV
ing Of the latter's trains over his road
from boswell to Qnantico. The contract
which gave the details Of tie agreement
was read, telling how much the Seaboard
Air Line paid the R., +. & T. for the
privileges granted.
Mr. Gravely made speech in which
he said he had reason TO believe that
certain railroads, among them the Sea-
board Air Line, had pooled interests for
the purpose of buying a controlling in
terest in the R., & P. R. R., which
would put the people at the mercy Of
a monopoly. He thought the States In

CHAPTER XNIV.

lie STRIKES TWICE WHO STRIKES FIRST.
Upon our return to the hotel we made
few necessary inquiries concerning
Mr.. Yon more as sop to our con-
sciences than aught else, for so that he
proved not an absolute scamp we cared
little for his reputation. For the work
we had in hand intelligence and nerve
were Of more Importance than a good
character. That he had the one we did
not doubt, that he possessed the other
time alone would show. At all events
we were not long In deciding to take
him with u.s. This journey we contem.
plated was strange one, and out OF II
much might come.
The following morning he presented
himself at the hotel and was duly en-
gagged, and later on in the day we went
of together to join the Foochow. Yon,
who held the proud position Of our boy,
took advantage Of that privilege and
carried our things below and otherwise
displayed a conspicuous ability to
please. Then there followed the shrek
Of the whistle, warning to lmprudent
sampans, the shouting and the hustle,
and presently the Foochow stood up
for Ly-ee Moon pass, the straits
through which we had entered not
week before.
OF the voyage to Shanghai I have lit.
