Southern road to-day smashed records for
fast running on that system and verified
assertions made by officials that a sixteen
hour schedule could, if necessary, be main
tanned between Chicago and New York. The
train, forty-f1ve miles west OF Buffalo, was
two hours and Is minutes behind its
schedule and then it was that the engineers
were given a clear track and ordered to
make their best time over the various di-
visions. The train covered the 134 miles be-
tween Brockton and Cleveland In 131 min
utes. From Cleveland to Toledo the en-
gineer passed over the 113 miles at some
points at speed reaching ninety miles an
hour, covering the distance in 1O3 minutes
The run TO Elkhart, Ind, 1913 miles, was
covered in 115 minutes. The run into Chi
cago from Elkhart was slower on account
of the necessity of slowing down while
passing through three towns. where the
speed of trains is limited by ordinance.
Slow downs also were necessary for the
fourteen grade railroad crossings in Chi
cago. Despite these delays the 101 miles
was covered in Ill minutes and the train.

TROUBLE MAY BE CAUSED
RIVAL CLAIMS TO A GUANO ISLAND
IN THE PACIFIC.
japanese Are Working Ii and an
American Has a Title to It-State
Department Records.

HONOLULU, July SIT is not unlikely
that international complications may ensue
between the United States and Japan as
the result of local people taking possession
Of Marcus island, a small guano island
lying about $500 miles west of Honolulu
and about 1000 miles southeast of Yoko-
hama. An expedition is to leave here next
week under command of Capt. A. A. Rose
hill for the purpose of occupying the
island, as Rosehill was recently granted
title 10 the island by the United States.
If the experience of Captain Pierce, of
the transport Sheridan, is to be taken as
an indication, the services of an American
warship may be necessary to place Rose
hill in possession of the island. About
fourteen months ago Captain Pierce
stopped at Marcus island for the purpose
of adjusting his instruments. He headed a
party and went ashore in the steam launch.
He was met on the beach by about twenty
japanese, many of whom were armed with
rifles, and who ordered the Americans to
leave the island at once. Seeing that the
display of firearms did not brighten the Wis
itors, the spokesman of the Japanese pro-
duced what purported TO be an official doc
ument from the Japanese government and
hourtshed this paper before Captain Pierce.
An exploration of the island disclosed the
fact that the Japanese were evidently at
work obtaining guano.
Captain Pierce made no attempt to mo-
lest the Japanese. He was then not aware
of Rosehills claim. Captain Rosehill ex-
poets to sail for his island on July IL.

STATE DEPARTMENTS VIEWS.
Capt. ROsehilI's Title May Not BE Sup
ported by the Government

WASHINGTON, July 12.-An inspection
Of the government records of what are
known as "Guano island entries discloses
the fact that in 1889 Captain Rosehill, an
American citizen, lodged notice of the dis
covery by him of Marcus island, in the
western Pacific, and claimed the right to
exploit it for guano. The State Department
is not required by the law governing guano
island entries to pass on the sufficiency of
any such claim as that made by Captain
ROSehiH.
Another section of the law requires the
claimant to take out a bond the purpose of
which is TO see that he does not charge an
eXorbitant price for the guanO: that the
island claimed by him did not belong to any
other country and that he will vacate it
when he has taken away the guanO There
is no such a thing as a fee simple title to
the island; the government merely affirms
the right of the claimant to take the guano.
1t Is the general opinion that these guano
titles of extremely doubtful force, and
il is the further opinion that ii is only nee
essary to maintain title that the island
claimed should be continuously occupied
and explored for guanO by the claimant
which does not appear TO have been the
case with Marcus island Therefore, If the
japanese are working the island, as re-
ported it is imprOba BILE that the United
States government will interfere
