MISSOURI PACIFIC
HOLDS THE MOUNTAINS

Chicago, March 16.-The Times-Her-
aid this morning says:
Events of the past few weeks have
made it certain that the Missouri Pa
ciflc is shortly to be made the greatest
system of the Southwest. With the
Missouri Pacific as the nucleus, n sys-
TEN will be built up and put under
one management extending from Buff
falo to New Orleans, El Paso and Salt
Lake. Such is the plan which is be-
ing worked out by the Gould family
and it is equal to the boldest scheme
projected by the late jay Gould.
The latest evidence in this respect
is the announcement that the Goulds
have acquired control of the Denver X
Rio Grande and will soon have the
Rio Grande Western. 1t is also under
stood that the Missouri Pacific now has
control of the Missouri, Kansas n Tex
as, which extends from st. Louis, via
Parsons and Dallas. to Galveston. and
that the extension from st. Louis to
Paris and southwest to Oklahoma Will
soon be acquired by the Goulds.
BY these purchases the Missouri Pa
cific will not only extend its western
limit to Ogden, but will occupy the
mountain passes to an extent that Will
make it difficult for other roads to Sc
cure ingress on profitable footing.
The Missouri Pacific is in close rela-
tlons with the Union Pacific and other
properties under syndicate control and
Will therefore be in situation to work
harmoniously west from Salt Lake and
El Paso.
Mr.. Gould's present trip west and in.
spection Of railroad properties is said
to be the concluding preparation for
the uniflcntion of this great southwest.

De Wet Repudiates Peace oners.

Bloemfontein, March 16.-Prisoners
who have lately been released by Cen
eral De Wet say they think he is
madman. They aver that the terrible
fatigues he has undergone, his anx-
ieties and the intensity of his feelings
have unhinged his mind. Apart from
this view of General De Vets mental
state, some of his peculiarities are
that he rarely sleeps within the bounds
of his camp. He seeks rest outside,
with few trusted followers. Thus
the orderies of his subordinates are
frequently unable to find him to re-
ceive orders.
His secrecy is extreme. He absolute
ly imparts his plants to no one.
General De Wet repudiates the peace
negotiations which are going on. He
declares openly to the men that no
terms except independence will satisfy
him.
A recent utterance attributed to him
is that "after the British he hated the
Transvaalers." The whereabouts of
General De Wet during the last two or
three days is unknown, nor is 1t known
whether President Steyn Is with him.

House bill No. 80 for constitutional
amendment to legalize the initiative
and referendum was called up in the
House by Mr.. Morris for reconsidera.
ton, and the former vote defeating it

by just the necessary two-thirds.
More than six amendments to the
constitution can be voted upon by the
people at one time if they do not
amend more than six articles of the
constitution. There might, for in
stance so far as the law is concerned,
be six amendments each to six differ
ent articles, making thirty-siX amend

Grand Army officials are particularly
anxious to secure the passage of two
bills now before the state Senate.
These bills are S. b. 25S, to appropri-

Soldiers and Sailors Home, and s. B.
259, providing $4,000 for the mainte-
nance of the home for the present BIZ
ennial period. The proposed amend
ments are in addition to all sums to be
provided by the federal government
for this home. Department Command
er II. NJ. Orahood, Colonel Thomas j.

passage of these bills and they are be-

able supplies needed in the Philippine
islands will be sent to Manila. The di-

supplies for the legation guard. Gen
eral Macarthur has been notified
1t was said at the War Department
that this closes up the Chinese ques-

concerned, as the protection of the le-

cupation of Chinese territory and the
guard cannot be used for any other
purpose.
The transports Sumner and Indiana
will be sent to Taku to take the
troops in China to Manila. These
troops consist of the Ninth infantry,
four troops of the Sixth cavalry and
the light battery formerly commanded
by Captain Reilly. The transports
will bring away the LOO animals

CARNEGIE TO GIVE MILLIONS
TO NEW YORK CITY LIBRARIES

New York, March 16-Andrew Car
negie, who, since retiring as an active
figure in the steel world, has been able
to devote his time exclusively to his
other passion, the founding of IL
braries, has made his departure for
Europe this spring memorable by the
largest offering of that kind ever ad-
vanced.
If New York will provide the sites
and the maintenance, he was promised
to give $5,20OO0O to establish sixty
five branch libraries in this city.
The offer was made in a letter to Dr..
John S. Billings, director of the New
York Public Library last Thursday.
The correspondence in connection with
the offer was made public tonight, as
follows:
'.New York, March 5, 19O1.-Our con-
ference upon the needs of the greater
city of New York for branch libraries
to reach the masses of the people in ev-
cry district, has convinced me of the
wisdom of your plan.
"Sixty-five branches strike one at
first as very large order, but as other
cities have found one necessary for
every 10000 or 10000 population, then
the number is not over-estimated. You
estimate the cost of those libraries at
$4,000 each, being $5,2OO,Oo0 in all.
If New York will furnish sites for
these branches, for the benefit of the
masses of the people, as it has done
for the Central library, and also agree
in satisfactory form to provide for
their maintenance as built, l should
esteem it a rare privilege to be per-
mitted to furnish the money for the
buildings, $5,20O,OOO. SiXty-five Ii
braries at one stroke probably breaks
the record, but this is the day of big
operations, and New York is soon to
be the biggest of cities.
ANDREW CARNEGIE"
Secretary G. l.. Rivers of the New
York Public Library Association wrote
to Mayor Van Wyck in submitting
Mr.. Carnegie's letter, as follows:
by direction of the board of trus-
tees of the New York Public Library,
Astor, Lenox and Tilden foundations,
1 have the honor to hand you here
with a copy of n letter which we re-
ceived from Andrew Carnegie, March
18th, the day of his sailing for Eu-
rope.
Gilpin observer., 1901-03-21

"You will observe that Mr.. Car
negie offers to bear the expense Of
building number of branch libraries
at an estimated cost of $5,20O,O 900 pro-
vided the city will furnish the neces-
sary land and provided satisfactory
arrangements can be made for all
these branches. There are no other
conditions.
81 am further instructed to say, that
in transmitting Mr.. Carnegie's pro-
posal, DIR. Billings accompanied 1t
with the following statement:
"In the conferences referred to by
Mr. Carnegie, the suggestions which
1 have made have related mainly to a
free public library system for the bor-
oughs of Manhattan and the Bronx.
I have stated that such n system
should include the great central refer
ence library on Forty-second street and
Fifth avenue, about forty branch IL
braries for circulation, small distrib-
uting centers in those public school
buildings which are adapted to such
purposes, and n large travelling IL
brary system operated from the CEN
tral building. Each of the branches
should contain reading rooms for from
sixty to 100 adults and for from sew
enty to 125 children, and in these
rooms should be about 5000 volumes
of encyclopedias, dictionaries, aliases
and large and important reference
books. There should be ample tele-
phone and delivery arrangements be-
tween the branches and the central Ii
brary.
"To establish this system would re-
quire at least five years. The average
cost of the branches l estimated at
from $4,000 to $125,0OO, including
sites and equipment. The cost of
maintaining the system. when COM
pleted, estimated at $500 a year. The
circulation of books for home use
alone in these boroughs should amount
to more than 100000 volumes per
year, and there should be at least oOo,'
600 volumes in the circulation depart.
ment, with additions of new books and
to replace worn-out books, of at least
40 900 yearly. With regard to the 9th.
er boroughs of Greater New York,
have made no special plans, but !
think that about twenty-five libraries
would be required for them."

1t is rather surprising to learn that
our modern cup defenders sail no fas-
ter than vessel of about the same
size built in 1903. That statement,
however, is made by noted naval ar
chitect Of Boston. He declares that
the famous Salem privateer America,
of the war OF 1912, sailed faster on her
best point-wth the wind on the quar-
ter-than any OF the crack racing
yachts OF today. Her log shows that
she frequently made thirteen knots
with the burden of warship, while
the best speed Of the cup defenders Of
today is little better than fourteen
knots in racing trim. II Is an inter-
esting fact that the architect in ques-
ton. lineal descendant of one Of the
builders OF the privateer, is himself
deuigning a boat to defend the cup this
year. He does not expect to surpass
his ancestor.

The inundated generally have a
fond delusion that a dozen means
twelve things, but in trade the dozen
varies greatly. In the Staffordshire
potteries, for instance, dozen repre-
sents that number of articles which
tan be offered for any fixed price; thus
the dozen varies, the price is constant.
Plates are among the comparatively
few articles which in that trade are
sold in dozens of twelve, and some
things are sold in dozens of sixty, sew

Ing the Diamond Jubilee celebration of
