an old friend who was also a newspa-

to find a column in the Daily News,
with faring headlines, which went on
to say:

regents, he being one OF them- MT.
Snyder, inspeaking of Shepherdstown,
said that the oldest, most beautiful and
most aristocratic town in West Virginia
was about to awake itself from a centu-
rvs slumber and emerge from the woods
into the wide, wide world. In other
words. the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
has commenced the building Of thir-
tv-two mile road from Cherry Run to
Harper's Ferry, which would, when
completed, be part of the main line,
and proud and placid Shepherdstown
would be on the main line. Mr.. Snyder
stated that while there were some per-
sons in the beautiful cole Virglnle
town" exultant over the change that is
to take place in the life Of the place,
there were many more who regretted
1t. II am one of them, said Mr.. Sny-
der. You know our town is away over
IN the eastern panhandle, next TO the
Virginia line. 1t is the oldest town in
the State, beautiful place to live, a
calm, peaceful, contented town, which
adiectives describe the people. There
are families there whose ancestors have
lived there for hundred and fifty
years. The people take natural pride
in the honor of their ancestry and enjoy
the solitude, peace and beauty of the
place. There is good college for the
education of their youth and all the ad-
vantages necessary without the allur-
ingly dangerous and immoral attrac-
ton ola city. These people don't APP
preciate the intrusion into their lives
that will come when their town iSplaced
on the main line of great railroad. 1t
means change in their life that they
don't care for"

KEEP THE TRANSPORTS.
Said the Sale Of the Boats Will Be Delayed
For q Time at Least.

Washington, Feb. IA change in the
situation regarding the proposed sale Of
the army transports has occurred within
the last few days and it is now regarded
as probable that the ships will be dis
posed of by the government during the
present year. Secretary Root and Adj
jutant General Corbin have for some
time openly advocated the sale of the
transports and the letting of contracts to
private transportation companies for
carrying troops and supplies between
the United States and the Philippines;
but the quartermaster general is opposed
to the change. 1t was assumed in some
quarters, however, that the influence OF
the secretary of war and the adjutant
general would be sufficient to cause the
sale of the transport feet.
1t now appears that majority OF the
members of the house military affairs
committee, are opposed to the private
contract system in place of the present
transport service, and there is strong
sentiment in both branches of congress,
outside the military committees, against
the. proposed change. Chairman Hull,
of the house committee, is outspoken
against selling the transports, and he
says there Is no likelihood that the ship
ping companies that have been looking
toward the purchase of these vessels will
have an opportunity to buy them in the
near future.

100000.

Thousands OF Families at Paterson, N. j.,
Without Shelter-Many Blocks Burned.
Paterson, N. j., Feb. 10.-The great
fire which swept through Paterson yes:
terday, has left in it's desolate wake the
embers and ashes of property valued at
$10,0 900. 1t burned it's way through
the business section of the city, and
claimed as its own majority of the finer
structures devoted to commercial, civic,
educational and religious use, as well as
scores of houses. There was but small
tribute of life and injury to the confgra-
ton, but hundreds we're left homeless
and thousands without employment. A
relief movement for the care of those
unsheltered and provided for has al
ready been organized, and Mayor John
Hinchcliffe said that Paterson would be
able to care for her own without appeal
ing to the charity of other communities
and states. The great manufacturing
plants Of the place are safe, and the
community, temporarily dazed by the
calamity, has already commenced the
work of reorganization and restoration.
The fire started at midnight. and was
only checked after desperate fight that
lasted until late Sunday afternoon.
Every city and town within reach of
Paterson sent firemen and apparatus to
the aid of the city, and it took the united
efforts of them all to win the battle.

MOTION Is DENIED.
Actions Against White Pass & Yukon Road
Will Go To Trial.

Will Go To Trial.
Victoria, B. O., Feb.8.-In the supreme
court, before the Hon. Mr.. Justice Mar
tin, Mr.. Cassidy, X. c., counsel for the
White Pass & Yukon railway, moved for
an order Diminishing the actions brought
as test cases by claimants who seek to
recover enormous sums of money from
the railway company on the grounds
that freight charges were extortionate
and exacted in the absence of legal au-
thority.
In giving his decision Mr.. Justice
Martin said that, in 80 far as related to
the question of tho American territory
and to the argument brought forward
against the powers of the Canadian par
lament to regulate rates, his lordship
confined himself to an expression of
opinion that these were questions of
great importance and that he could not
accede to contention of the railway COM
pany that they were so far settled as to
bind him to take judicial notice of them
for the purpose of dismissing these &C.
tons, and that he entertained some
doubt as to the power. of the railway
company to appropriate and reprobate,"
that is, to obtain q charter and secure
the benefit thereof and then to disavow
the. obligation imposed thereby. He,
therefore, dismissed the railway COM
pany's motions with costs and the action
will 60 on to trial.

SCHEDULED FOX REPRIMAND.
General Wood to be Rebuked for Trying to
Influence Legislation.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 7.-Another
reprimand will probably be issued for
an infraction of rules in an attempt to
influence legislation. This time Gen.
Wood, military governor of Cuba, is the
subject of President Roosevelt's disap-
proval.
Gen. Woods offense consists in having
addressed a circular letter to all MEM
bers of the senate, asking them to grant
tariff concessions to Cuba. The matter
was called to the attention of the presi-
dent, and he expressed his displeasure
in no unmistakable terms. Because OF
the extreme friendly relations between
the president and Gen. Wood, it is very
probable the reprimand will not be as
scathing as has been the case in some
other instances, but it will be decided
rebuke.
A peculiar feature of the rebuke is in
the fact that Gen. Wood was the superior
officer of Roosevelt when he was gaining
fame AS a colonel of the roughriders.

NEW STEEL PLANT
PACIFIC COMPANY WILL SPEND

In the Establishment of q Modern Plant
Somewhere on the East Shore Of the

mined. But Seattle WIN Be>headquarters
Of the Company.

Seattle, Feb.7.-The Daily Times says:
Between $2.0OO 900 and So .OOO, eco will
be spent by the Pacific Steel Company
in Western Washington during the next
two years in the establishment on the
east shore of Puget Sound of fully
equipped steel plant. Yesterdays issue
of the Times contained dispatch from
New York giving ap account of the an
nual election of officers of the company,
in which three prominent Seattle men
figure. The company now owns plant
at Irondale, near Port Townsend, but it
is stated officially by officers of the COM
pany that this plant will be abandoned
and large plant with capacity of sew
eral hundred tons day erected at some
point on the Sound.
The Seattle men who are prominently
interested in the company are Homer H.
Swaney, its president; Maurice McMick-
en-, its vice president, and William Pigott,
one of the trustees. All three men are
we'll known here. While Mr.. Swaney has
spent most of his time during the past
year in and about Port Townsend, Seattle
is mis- home. Mr.. McMicken and Mr..
Pigott are very we'll known in local bus
mess circles.
1t is altogether probable that an effort
will be made to have the new plant of
the company located at Seattle or within
the territory directly tributary to this
city. The question is merely one of OBJ
tainlng enough room for such plant as
the company will erect. Plans are now
under way for the construction of steel
mill employing 1000 men when fully
equipped.
1t is stated by officers of the company
that the plant at Irondale is merely an
experimental proposition and that it will
be abandoned when the new work is
started. The reason for this move is that
the company desires to establish its head
quarters on the east shore of the Sound
SO as to be able to take advantage Of
rail connections with the East and Cen
trail West. Wherever the plant is To-
Gated Seattle will be the head Office Of
the company. This has already been
determined upon.

relations, which has been giving especial
attention to the legal aspect of the reci-

port on the subject. The committee
concludes that the power to make COM

and the senate, and that the fact that
they involve questions of tariff does not
render it necessary that the house OF
representatives should have equal oppor-
tunities to consider them.
