of the Orient railway, has just returned

a glowing description of what he saw
there. Among other things he said:
The scenery the Orient road

Pennsylvania Finally Wins Out in
New York Fight.

postponements and protracted debate,
the board of aldermen today by a vote
of Al to SO, granted the Pennsylvania
railroad tunnel franchise.
A minority report, signed by Alder
men Mccall and Diemer, was read. This
report gave as a reason for opposing the
franchise the refusal of the company to
insert in the contract the eight-hour day
and prevailing rate of wages clausea
Aldermen Waters and Mccall also SUBJ
mitted minority reports.
President Canter, of Manhattan was
the only one of the borough presidents
to vote against the franchise

Pennsylvania franchise, the New York
chise, granting the privilege of entering
Manhattan in West street, was taken III,

CUP DEFENDER SOLD.
G. W. Foster Has Purchased the Old
Puritan for Pleasure Graft.

Boston, Mass. Dec. 1.-THE old cup
defender Puritan. owned by Commodore
John O. Shaw, jr, has been sold through
the agency of Hollis Burgess to c. W.
Foster.
Although Originally sloop, the Purf-
tan is now schooner rugged, and Mr..
Foster intends to further alter it by in
stalling 20 horsepower gasoline engine.
There was some talk of plugging up its
centerbOard box and making a keel boat
perienced from leaks in the centerboard
box, but it is now thought that this
trouble can be remedied and the center
board will be retained.
Next to America, which first won the
famous trophy, and to Columbia, which
twice successfully defended it, Puritan
is the most famous of any of the cup de-
tenders. It was in this boat that Ed
ward Burgess made his daring depar-
ture from the English and American
principles of yacht designing.
The English type was the deep keel
cutter, while that of the Americans was
the shoal draft centerboard sloop. Bur-
CESS picked out the good qualities of
both and boldly produced a boat with a
goodly draft and put a centerboard on it.
Its races for the cup with Genesta In
1883 are we'll known in the history Of
yachting. Sailed by Capt Aubrey
Croker, it won the first race by 16 min
utes and 20 seconds on corrected time.
The second race. one of the most ex-
citing sailed for the cup, it won by one
minute and So seconds 1t won the Goelet
cup the same year, and in the annual
race of the Eastern Yacht club in 1856
it defeated the Mayf1ower.
Puritan was built by Lawley for q
syndicate of Eastern Yacht club men,
berS. 1t was afterward purchased by
Gen. Charles J. Paine and later by j
Commodore ]. o. Shaw, jr., who had III
altered to a schooner in 1895.

fuse to Work on Sunday

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE 5000 employees
in the shops of the Pullman Palace COM
pany are preparing to take a stand in
support of a demand for shorter hours
and no Sunday work. Foremen in all
the shops were notified today that in
dividually the men would not report for
Sunday work hereafter.
The Pullman company has never rec
ognized any of the unions of men in its
employ and the unions have not asked
recognition in this case. The various
bodies quietly agreed that members
would take the stand and put an end to
Sunday and overtime work Later, it is
the purpose of the unions. it is asserted
to formulate a scale of wages providing
for a slight advance and submit it TO
the company. There are 20 different
crafts or trades employed in the shops
which have been organized.

It is said that the Santa Fe mechan-
zeal department is figuring on replacing
all the engines of the 100 class that are
on the passenger train service on the
New Mexico division. with those of the
1000 class The reason given for this
change is that, while they are practical
ly the same engine, the 1000 class have
the best cylinder material and are not
given to cracking cylinder head as
much as the former class.

The first feature of the comparison is
the Santa FEES lower ratio of operating
expenses. This, in itself would mean
nothing were it not for the fact that it
IS owing to the Santa Fe's cheaper cost
of transportation. Maintenance charges
were fully as liberal as F'riscos, will
be seen by the following figures. showing
maintenance expenditures per mile on
each road last year. and maintenance
requirements as indicated by traffic
movement:
Santa Fe Frisco
Maintenance way per mile. 5 ~ $ 80
Maintenance equip. per mile 1.00l 6SS
Total maintenance per miles 1.7S2 1875
Ton miles per mile .sS3S. GOO 500, GJ0
Passenger miles per per miles 7Tc0o $500
Another feature is the Santa FEES
larger other income and lower charges
g mile. These advantages together with
lower expenses in proportion to gross
business. give the Santa Fe a much
larger surplus per mile, and also a larger
surplus in proportion to gross earnings.
The latter fact is important in the long
run. since in case of a shrinkage in earn
ings the Santa Fe's surplus would last
longer than Frisco's.

A FRENCH OFFER.

PEKING, May 15.-The French Min
lister proposed to Yuen Shih-kai at Pao-
ting-fu to send out French troops to
suppress the fresh rising but the Vice
roy of Chill declined to accept this pro-
posal. Prince Ching has just advised
Yuan Shih-kai under no circumstances
to have recourse to the force of a for
eign power for the suppression of the
insurgents, as the Prince fears that in
the event of one power being allowed
to send out achievements other powers
will follow the example, and he added
that the most urgent need at the pre-
sent moment was to despatch every
available force Of their own to the
front for the pacifcation Of the trou-
BILE, so as to prevent the Powers from
making use of any pretext for the dis
patch of their troops. Besides the
French Minister other foreign repre-
sentatives rendered the same proposal
to the Chinese Government but the De-
partment Of Foreign Affairs declined
their offer.
