Santa Fe Firemen Trying to Suppress

or for that matter, any other sort of
workman, for all of tie orders have
their boomers to shift around from
place to- place, staying long enough to
buy suit of clothes, perhaps, and then
lighting out for the next division point
This sort of doing tends to give the
orders bad reputation, for men often
get careless and have been known to
leave towns owing small bills. The bet

stay in a city and make it their home as
long as the company will give them en-
ployment, have little in common with
the boomer and are doing what they
can to prevent such a class existing. OF
course the time may never come when
these men will be exterminated entirely,
but the Brotherhood is doing its best
to prevent booming and its efforts are
certainly bearing fruit. 1 might add that
all of the orders are feminist booming
and that all are combining their efforts

out the boomer than any of the other

AN AMERICAN PROJECT.
Uncle Sam Gets the Biggest Chinese
Contract So Far.

Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, senior
squadron commander of the Asiatic
squadron, has made report to the
navy department of his recent trip up
the Yang Ste river in the Helena, to
investigate the conditions in the interior
of China. Admiral Evans says the most
important single American interest in
that section is the concession granted
last June to the Americana de-
velopment company for the construction
of a railway from Canton to Hankow-
The road is 700 miles long and the route
chosen lies along that followed by the
Chinese traders between north and
south China for centuries and penetrateS
many large commercial cities. A sur
vey was made Of the route in 1S96-97,
but the outbreak of the Boxers prevent
ed further progress until last June.
when the Felxin authorities ratified the
final terms of the concession. These
terms require that the road shall be
broad gauge well built and completed,
so far as practicable, within three years
The initial paid capital of the company
! is So, 900 900. The concession is for eighty
/ years, at the end of which time it re-

affairs, Admiral Evans reports, is in
the hands of Americans, who have their
main office in Shanghai. Preparations
are under way to begin work at WI

CASE Is REoPENED.
Santa Fe Must Defend It's Tariffs Be-
fore Commerce Commission.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The interstate
commerce commission today announced
it's decision to reopen the case of the
Business Mems league of St. Louis
against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
F'e and other lines. A further hearing
will be held al ST. Louis February 10
next. The commission holds that a
showing of less distance and former
grades rates does not warrant an order
requiring lower rates from st. Louis,
Chicago and other interior points than
from New York on traffic carried by
rail to Pacific coast destinations. While
the commission does not condemn the
tariff as a whole, many of it's details are
decided to be unlawful. In this traffic
from the middle west to the Pacific
coast territory the commission decided
that differential between car load and
less than car loads which is at once
more than 50 cents per 100 pounds and
more than so per cent of the car load
re- te is prima facie excessive.
The compliments in the case are
granted leave to proceed in that branch
of the case involving the question
whether on traffic from the middle west
the present rates to intermediate points
which are higher than those to Pacific
coast terminals are lawful.
