HAND OVER BIG CHECK
NORTHERN PACIFIC PURCHASES
A RAILROAD IN WASHINGTON
Deal Is Contaminated by Delivering a
Check for $495,000 to Ex-Gov. Samuel
T. Hauser Of Montana-Railroad
Purchased Is the BelIineham Bay &
Eastern, \

It is not every day that checks are
drawn for S$495,000 by the Northern
Pacific Railroad company, but one
calling for this sum was made out Sat
urday and handed to ex-Gov. Samuel
Z. Hauser, of Montana.
The check represented the price of
the Bellingham Bay e. Eastern rail-
way, of Washington, which was recent
ly purchased by the Northern Pacific,
and the deal was consummated Sat
urday, when the half-million dollar
check was handed over.
Ex-Gov. Hauser and Norman B. Hol-
ter, the latter the son of A. M. Hotter,
well-knoWn Montana capitalist, spent
a couple of days in st. Paul fixing up
the details necessary to the transfer OF
the Bellingham Bay &, Eastern road
to the Northern Pacific. The final
papers were duly executed Saturday
and the Montana men left Saturday
evening for their home.
The road, which runs from New
Whatcom to Fairhaven, was built by
Montana capitalists, prominent among
whom were Peter Larson, eX-Gov.
Hauser and A. M. Hotter. The North
ern Pacific has been using. the tracks
of the Bellingham & Eastern, under
temporary arrangements The pur-
chase of the line by the Northern Pa
cific gives the company a perpetual
entrance into all the Bellingham bay
towns.
The purchase Of the Bellingham &
Eastern road, together with the Everett
& Monte Cristo, the Washington & Ore
gon and the Seattle e International,
indicates that the Northern Pacific is
carrying out policy of buying up all
the smaller lines in the far West and
will operate them from the general
Offices in this city.

tains Bruises.

While taking the family of Alderman
William E. Buschmann out for a drive
yesterday morning, Joseph Meyers, a
wagon maker employed at Busch
mann's factory, was seriously injured
in a breakdown, which occurred at
Minnehaha and Atlantic streets.
The bolt holding the turning circle
dropped from it's place, separating the
carriage into two sections.
The horse, carrying the shafts and
front wheels. continued the journey,
while the carriage box fell with great
force to the pavement. The jolt threw
Meyers forward and he struck his head
against the dashboard. He received a
terrific blow, cutting a deep cash on
his forehead and rendering him uncon-
scious. The other occupants Of the
rig, Mrs. Buschmann and her two chill
dren, were severely shaken, but escap-
ed without injury.
Meyers was removed to the Office
of DR.. F. C. Spates, 1000 Fauquier
street, where his wound was dressed.
The cut was so serious that it was
necessary to take the man to st. Jo-
seph's hospital

Prof. M. Tusuri, assistant professor
of the social department of the Toxic
Imperial university in Japan, was at
the Merchants last night on his way
to Japan, after two years investigation
Of social conditions in Europe and
America.
II am fortunate to pass through
America in the political season." he
said smilingly. 'It has shown me a
new side to your character. I think
you Americans are too much in earnest
about your politics. You lack a sense
Of hunlor in things political. I see
your candidates constantly shaking
hands with men they have never met
before and in whom they can have no
possible interest. ALI the time they are
wondering which way they are going to
vote. But it is the vote they want. The
men know it, the politicians know it
and yet you are so-what do you call 1t
dead in earnest. I wonder you don't
laugh in each others faces.
Situation Is Embarrassing.
t'Your political parties remind me Of
two men, each chasing the other around
circle and crying, stop theft at the
top of their voices. Of course, I I'M
derstand, that they are the balance
wheel Of your system, yet even bal
ance wheel is at times an embarrassing
thing.
''Then you talk, talk, talk about is
sues. Why issues are only carts men
are trying to ride to office on. You are
no wiser than we are"
But these issues represent public
policies" was objected.
Eyes, but you have too many poll
cies. Your government is too much in
business. When you get a government
in business you have trouble keeping
the rascals and spectators out. It is
easy to make issues. They are only
what somebody wants and what some
one else doesn't want the other man to
get. In my own land we are learning
some of your virtues and many of your
faults. We, too, are getting to hurry,
hurry, hurry. We want to live life up
fast so as to get enough of it. But let
us talk about something else, some
thing more interesting" and here the
professor smiled queer little smile.
Praises American Women.
"Your American women are a source
Of constant wonder to me, cannot stop
thinking of them. They are grand
things, wonderful, but Japanese can
never think of them as women. They
are to us as beings from another world.
They know more politics than geisha
girl; they understand better how to
manage things than most Japanese
men. They are so bold and confident,
they can run a business, they manage
papers, they write books, they teach
schools, they do anything. They even
get into politics and hold Office. They
know as much of what the world is
doing as the men and yet they are
good wives. Yes, they are admirable
in way, but it is not our Japanese
way"

IMPORTANT WORK
OF HAGUE TRIBUNAL
1t Extends the Liberal Spirit of Amer
lean NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of
the Plus Fund Case.

PARIS, Oct. 12.-Judge William L.
Penfield, Of the United States state
department, Archbishop Riordan, of
San Francisco, and others who were
present at The Hague during the re-
cent sessions of the international court
of arbitration, which heard the argu-
ments in the Plus fund case between
the United. States and Mexico, have
arrived here.
Judge Penfeld says the courts deci-
sion in the matter may be rendered
during the coming week, and that in
all events it will be given this month.
Judge Penf1eld gave an opinion of the
status of the case and made certain
observations on the general influences
which The Hague tribunal is exerting
in behalf of America. He said:
although the decision of the court
is still doubtful, I feel confident of
favorable result. The court practi-
cally narrowed the issue to a question
Of res judica and inquiries made by
members of the court indicated a ten
dency favorable to our position on this
issue. If this assumption proves cor
rect, it is then only a question of fig
ures to ascertain the amount due, and
which IS something over million dol
lars.
''The court comments on the thor
oughness of the American presentation
of the case The United States fur
nishcd practically the entire evidence,
transcripts, etc. Mexico furnished
practically nothing, not even copies
of the Mexican archives in her exclu-
sive control, and which were required
under the protocol. AS a result of
these facts the American record was all
the court had and Mexico relied upon
a generalized argument"
Commenting upon the broad interna-
tional aspects of The Hague organi-
zation, Judge Penfield said:
1.-The Hague tribunal is accomplish
ing important results for America. Ar
bitration is not taken as seriously in
Europe as it is in the United States.
We observed an undercurrent of cynic-
ism respecting arbitration, which is re-
garded as sentimental and ideal. The
American idea of treating internation-
al arbitration seriously Is beginning
to exert it's influence. 1t promises to
overcome European prejudice and to
lead to a general acceptance of this
principle. Another important influence
Of The Hague tribunal is that it is
acquainting Europe with real Ameri-
canism. In Europe they are slow to
understand our idea of the equality Of
man. The individual counts for lit
tie there. The international arbitra-
ton court gives us our first opportun-
ity of presenting to the publicists and
juuists Of the old world our exalted
ideals concerning the rights of the
people and that the function of the
government is the protection of the
Individual"

account of the Characteristic sounds it
utters. The little animal, when standing
erect, is scarcely taller than a child of
six years The head is comparatively
small, the waist slender, the legs short

the Ga is more human than that of the

Its physiognomy reminds me of the

all white Europeans was very noticeable;

that there was a proposition on foot
to have President Roosevelt, or some
one the chief executive would name,

This fund, it was explained, would
be used to pay the miners for days
when they were not employed by the
operators full time each week. In the
event of such a fund not being raised

CORONATION CHOIR TO

Singers From Westminster Abbey VIII
Give a Concert,

The attraction offered at the Audi
forum in the company of singers that
is making brief tour of this country,
coming direct from the coronation
services in Westminster abbey, Eng
land, ranks among the musical events
in the history of the city.
The abbey has long been noted for
the high character of it's music, and
perhaps will be awarded the praise by
most travellers Of being the very best
Of it's class in the world. The Audi
forum is big place and most sing
ers would be at disadvantage on that
account, but this choir sings regular
ly in a building so much larger that
the dimensions Of the Auditorium will
be a comfort to the artists. The pro-
gramme will be English, and not Ger
man or French. 1t will comprise the
choicest gems of songs for which the
English tongue is famous, and the mu-
sic will be within reach of the audi
ence. They will also sing the great
coronation anthem used in the services.

NEW PASTOR breaches
AT FIRST METHODIST
Sermons-Christiani Not
Modernized.

Rev. H. " Givler the new pastor of
the First Methodist church, preached
his initial sermons yesterday before
large congregations. Both sermons
were doctrinal in character, the even
ing discourse being given to a defense
of the New Testament Christianity.
"Some people have come to believe"
said Mr.. Givler, that with the i'm
mense progress in industrial lines,
with the marvellous discoveries in
science, with the great forward move
ments in education that Christianity
also must have changed, have grown
modern. But 1 say to you that if the
present Christianity be not the Chris
tianity of the Old Testament there is
no such thing as modern Christianity.
"The religious belief that permits
you to do what your conscience does
not justify, that permits you greater
license, that gives way to selfish de-
sires, is not modern Christianity, it
is not a Christian religion. The teach
ings of Christ enunciated 1000 years
ago are as vital today as they were
then; they are not affected by time or
change"
