By the alliance the former. company
will secure a direct line to Salt Lake
City and the Missouri Pacific will gain a
direct entrance from the Kansas City
gateway into Chicago. This will place the
Milwaukee system with terminus more
than midway to the Pacific coast and give
it entrance into Ell Paso, Texas, over the
Texas & Pacific tracks, which are owned
by the Gould interests, thus tapping the
great southwest, which is gridironed by
the Gould lines. It means that the Mil
Waukee will enter the field as a compel
itor for the traffic between Chicago and
Kansas City, something it has not here
tofore been attempted save on freight.
This competition will be made possible
by the completion Of cutoff lines.
It, is understood that the traffic agree
ment is entered into rather than direct
consolidation for fear Of interruption SIM
liar to that experienced by the Northern
Securities company. 1t is said that the
alliance has come about at the instance

NOT A TRUST AFFAIR
The Three Capitalists Were Simply
Drunk and Disorderly.

Drunk and Disorderly.
Special to The Journal. r..
Washington, Aug. 8.-1nstead OF being
struck by three infuriated capitalists
who disapproved of his course regarding
the trusts, Attorney General Knox was
the means of chastizing one of them, &C
cording to friends Of the attorney genral
who were present at the encounter at At
lantic City, Wednesday night An official
in the department of justice gave this
version of the affair this morning: r.
"Mr.r Knox and his family and one or
two friends were seated at table and these
three men, said to be Charles T. Schoen
of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, Theodore
Cramp and Mr.. Stevenson of Philadelphia;
took table near his. They began to use
violent, profane and foul language and
were very botst erous. Mr. Knox asked
his waiter to step over and ask the men
to cease their foul language. The waiter
did SO and the men became enraged and
swore the louder. The resulI was a slight
encounter. 1t is true that Mr.. Knox was
struck. l don't care to say who struck
him. Then order was restored. That's
all there was to 1T. There was no talk
of trusts or any such nonsense. The men
were simply drunk and disorderly and
were called down for it.. Mr.. Knox
handled himself very lively may say
From other sources 1t is learned that
General Knox himself delivered blow
and that Theodore Cramp was the re-
cipient Of It. -r -.. r. r.. - =

The New Cuban Loan.
New York, Aug. 8.-The Cuban-Amerf-
can League has issued q statement con-
cernfng the Cuban loan which states that.
II the planters are to be aided the Cuban
soldiers paid and the Cuban bonds hon
ored, the help must come Immediately in
order that Cuba may command future
credit. The loan required, $4,000, 900, is
said to be small. Before the war Spain
sold bonds for $500, 100000 based on her
Cuban revenue from which the United
States relieved Cuba. The league sug-
gests that Cuba authorize her banks to
circulate national currency based upon
their holdings of Cuban national bonds,
which bonds the United States should
guarantee. These bonds should be issued
so that II Cuba ever became a part of
this country they would become solely a
United States debt.
