IN CONNECTION WITH THE BRICE
SYNDICATE.
VIII Run Between San Francisco and
Hong Kong in Conjunction with Can
ton and Hankow Railroad

SAN FRANCISCO, May 7.-Plans are
being quietly pressed in the East for
the creation of a new transpaCific
steamship line between San Fran
cisco and Hong Kong. 1t is intended
to have a number of freight and pas
senger carrying steamers running in
conjunction with the proposed Canton
and HankOw Railroad that is being
built in China by the Brice syndicate.
one million five hundred thousand tons
of steel rails for this new Chinese rail-
way have been ordered in Illinois and
viii be shipped to the Orient. That sin
gle item of freight is an enormous
amount of cargo. 1t will form the
nucleus of the traffic on which to es-
tablish a new ocean line of steamers.
All the existing transpacific lines are
so tied up at present by contract ar
engagements with corresponding trans
continental railway lines in this coun-
try that it is difficult for a new steam
ship line to perfect it's arrangements
| without dsarranging the inter-railway
| conditions as they are jealousy main
tanned by the various watChful rival
corporations. Within the next three
months, however, the arrangements
for vessels and for railway service on
this continent will, it is expected, be
far enough developed to permit of gem
eral publicity. For the present the pro-
moters are working energetically and
quietly and saying little, though they
will not deny that they expect to estab-
lish such a transpacific line within the
next six months.
A. II. Butler, formerly president Of
the California and Oriental Steamship
Company, which ceased business at the
expiration of it's lease to the Santa Fe
system has been in New Work for the
last year, presumably working upon
the new plan. 1t is thought that he will
eventually be put in charge of the
steamship line. Men formerly associated
with Butler in AN Francisco are now
| in New York and are thought to be de-
veloping this steamship enterprise.
! Those of their business associates left
! in this city and familiar with the prep
arations admit frankly that the line
is to be established, probably within
the next six MONTH that it will carry
! the 100000 tons of steel rails for the
| Canton and Hankow Railway, and that
| the present problem is the arrange
ment to be made with some continental
| road for connection at this end with the
water service acros the Pacific.

Judge Humphreys this morning filed
final decree in the matter of the es-
tate of James HOare Jr., making
heavy charges against the estate Of
Antoine Rosa, deceased, who was the
guardian of HOare. Under Rosa's
management the estate became invOlV-
ed in various tangles, and when the

fairs of the two estates, it was found
that the Hoare estate had been neg

it for which there were no proper
vouchers had been made,
Lyle a. Dickey was appointed master
and he made a report discussing the
accounts at length, and recommending
charges against the Rosa estate
, amounting to over $4,000, with some
allowances to reduce the total. The
/ decree is in accordance with Dickey' $
report and contains the following or

AWAY WITH MULES A NEW STEAMER LINE
PAIN DENIES THAT HE WANTS
THEM
Has Not Chosen to Use Animal Power
And a Single Track-Would Use
Electricity.

W. II. Pain this morning filed his an
swer to the suit of Superintendent Of
Public Works j. II. Boyd, who is seek
ing to remove the girder tracks on King
street BreckOns and Dunno represent
the tram company. In the answer Pain
says he proposes to keep the tracks
where they are and use them for an
electric system.
Pain denies that in the exercise of the
option given him under the law he has
elected to construct and operate by
means of horse power a single track
street railway system, though he ad-
mits that he is at present doing SO. He
has the right, however, under a fran
chise given him by the Kingdom of
Hawaii, to lay double tracks and use
electricity. 1t was for this purpose
that the girder rails were laid on
King street.
In June 1882 the Hawaiian Tramway
Company, it is set forth, notified the
Minister of Interior of it's intention to
lay double tracks on all it's roads, and
invited the minister to make any sug-
gestions as to alterations of plans SUBJ
mitted for making the changes. ON
July 20, the Minister of the Interior no.
titled the company that the government
had no objections, and the work was
begun. The company has the right
says ram, and 1t intends to construct
operate and maintain an electric tram
and railway and that in so constructing
operating and maintaining said electric
tram and railway the said girder' rails
are necessary"
1t is admitted that the girder rails
are a slight obstruction but the COM
pany claims that it has the right to
maintain the rails and that the use OF
the streets by the public is subject to
the rights of the company under its
franchise,

A Mecklenburg farmer who was
in the Observer office Saturday
made the remark that he had the
biggest corn crop this year that he
has known since the war. Talk of
large corn crop is general though
out this section. Statisticians all
over the country have been figur
ing on record breaking crop and
the figures generally accepted as
approximately correct are 2,500,.
100000 bushels. This is a billion
more than the crop Of last year,
which was 1,522,00O.000 bushels.
The railroads, whose agents keep
pretty we'll posted with crop condi-
tons, evidently have faith in the
big crop prediction, for they are al
ready making preparations for car
rying the grain. 1t is evident that
despite the recent floods, the corn
crop this year is going to be an
enormous one.-Charlotte Obser-
yer.
And the and-hill section of
North Carolina, especially our i'm
mediate community, will add the
best crop it has ever grown to the
supply. 1t is good wherever. plant
ed, and the field on the Van Lind
Icy farm will el.better than any
one ever looked for from sandy
land.

New Superintendent for the Van
Lindley Farm.

We had a pleasant visit Tuesday
with M. c. Reynolds. the young man
who has been appointed Superintend-
ent of the Van Lindley Farm, as a
successor to the late R. w. Caviness.
Mr.. Reynolds is quite busy shipping
the rest of the immense peach crop
grown on the farm this season. He
gave US a trip throughout the farm
and allowed us to steal two of the
biggest melons in the patch, and also
filled the buggy with good ripe peach
es. The Keiffer pear crop is not good
this season, except in the vicinity of
one large LeConte tree, where it is
claimed that the LeConte acted as a
fertilizer.

INTELLIGENT
SHEPHERD DOG.

My friend was staying this
autumn in Wales. Smoking and
chatting one evening with a local
farmer the talk fell upon dogs. The
farmers sheep dog lay before the
fire, and the farmer instanced his
sagacity. He made an exclamation
in Welsh. At once the dog rose
and went to the door. "You might
let him out" said the farmer.
"The sheep are in the corn, is
what [ said to him" The dog
passed eagerly out, In a few min
utes there was a scratching at the
door. The dog entered painting and
lay down at the fire again. Shortly
afterward the farmer repeated his
Welsh remark. Again the dog ran
to the door and my friend let him
out. Again in few minutes was
the scratching at the door, and
again he lay down before the fire
painting. After an interval the
farmer remarked in Welsh, quitein
the way of conversation, Il am not
easy about those sheep, l do believe
they're in the corn" The dog
without rising looked up at the
farmer, gave two sharp yelps and
turned round to his sleep again. He
said as plainly as though it had
been in words, Don't be a fool;
I've been twice and they're not in
the corn. London Outlook.

NEW POINT II
TEXAS DECIDED.
Tax Suits Must Be Filed In De-
fendant's home County

Austin, lex. Nov. 26.-In the
Court of Civil Appeals, Third dis
trict today, the case Of E. B. Har-
rold, appellant, " the State Of
Texas, appellee, on appeal from
Robertson county, was reversed and
the cause dismissed. In the case
in question the county attorney of
Robertson county brought suit in
the county court Of that county to
recover $342.84 alleged to be due
as taxes by E. B. Harold upon
cattle owned by defendant and
located in Robertson county. The
defendant pleaded that he was a
resident Of Tarrant county and that
thu suit could only be brought in
the county Of his domicile. The
lower court overruled the plea te-
cause under the constitution, all
taxes are due and payable in the
county to which said taxes are
payable" The suit was not for a
foreclosure of the lien on the cattle,
but was for a personal judgment
against defendant.
The Court Of Civil Appeals says
inits opinion:
while the appellant may have
owed the taxes sought to be recover
ed, and while it is true that const-
tuition and statute make taxes
payable in the county where the
property is situated, still, as the
appellant had not contracted in
writing to pay the taxes in Robert
son county, apd as the case does
not come within any of the other
exceptions to article 1894, requiring
a defendant to be sued in the coun-
ty Of his domicile, the venue was
improperly laid, and the court |
should have sustained the plea of
privilege"

POST IS SURE.
Albuquerque viii Have It if New

COMMITTEE HAS RETURNED.

Judge B. s. Baker and o. N. Marion
have returned from Washington,
where they went to advance Albuquer-
que's interest in the military post mat
ter and help along the statehood bill.
They are satisfied that all doubt of AL
buquerque getting the post. if it is To-
Gated in New Mexico, Is removed.
Las Vegas never did have any show
of getting the post" said Mr.. Marion.
"Of course, we got no definite promise
from any one, as no one is authorized
to speak and congress has not appro-
priated the money for it. The only
question is whether or not New Mex
leo gets one of the posts. If it does.
there is no question but that it will be
located here. When We met the sec
retary of war and made our reply to
the protest of Las Vegas. Secretary
Root laughed, and said: Well, gentle
men, it will take very much more than
a difference of 10 degrees In tempera-
ture to overcome the recommendation
of the army board There is no doubt
we will get the post IL the appropria-
ton is made and New Mexico gets one.
There was practically no opposition
to the statehood bill in the house and
the sentiment is general that it will
pass the senate, but not until Decem-
ber."
