tween whites and negroes on an excursion

badly wounded that he may die.

HOLD PEACE CONFERENCE
Leader of Beers Confers with Kitch-
ner and Miner, who Make
Liberal Promises.

LONDON, May. 12.-The Times this morn
ing relates the course Of the peace ne
gotiations as follows:
On receipt of the Dutch correspondence,
intimating that Great Britain was ready
to listen to proposals from the Beers In
the field, Acting President Of the Trans
vaal Scbalkburgher zane to the lines and
asked permission to consult with Mr.. Steyn,
former president Of the Orange Free State.
This led to the Boer delegates going to
Pretoria.
Their first proposal to Lord Kitchener
and Lord Miner. the British high commits
sioner in South Africa, was that the re-
publics should merely concede all the de-
mands made by Great Britain regarding the
franchise, ETC., before the war.
The government In reply referred them
to heidelberg conference as the maximum
of possible concessions and refused per-
mission to the Beers to consult their
friends in Europe.
Eventually while refusing an armistice,
Lord Kitchener undertook not to modest
the %burghers while they were actually hold
ing meetings with the commanders to au-
thoriEe the leaders to negotiate on the
basis of independence, but they we're told
1t was useless to return to Pretoria with
out being armed with full power to ne
gotiate. Mr.. Schalkburgher assented to
this, but Mr.. Steyn's acquiescence seemed
doubtful.
Mall advices from Pretoria, continues
the Times, declare that Lords Kitchener
and Miner promised generous compensa-
ton for burned farms, raised no difficulty
with regard to the pardon Of banished
leaders and gave assurances that the ques-
Nia1 90 n., q g. raLnI. lfl nNN
insuperable dificulties.
The Times in an editorial on this fea-
tGre, is not hopeful that peace will be the
outcome, and fears that the election Of a
member Of Parliament for Bury, Lancash-
ire, will influence the Beers to further re-
sistance.
In the election for Bury, announced from
London yesterday. George Toulmin. lib
eral, secured a majority of Ala votes. At
the last election in Bury, in 1900, the con-
sentative majority in the district was 1876.

THE HEAVIEST LOCOMOTIVE.
First of a Bunch of L%eviathans on the
Santa Fe.

SANTA re.
There was received at the Chicago shops
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe sys-
tenn during the early part of tho past week
the first Of a large order given the Amer
lean Locomotive company for unusually
heavy locomotives designed for service on
the mountain division OF that line. The de-
sign is a conception Of Third Vice Presi-
dent Kendrick OF the Santa Fe, who be-
lieves that this type OF engine represents
the solution Of the problem of increased
trainload capacity Of that portion Of the
line on which II is to be operated. The To-
connective is by many tons the heaviest yet
constructed and will be Immediately tested
on the mountain division. The road con-
engines OF this design built by the Amer
lean Locomotive company. The engine is
guaranteed to haul a load Of 2.1o0 tons up
q ffty-foot grade. The rigid wheel base Is
twenty feet and II weighs within seven and
one-half tons as much as the next largest
engine and tender, tender loaded, or 1874
tons. On the drivers there is a weight OF
$50, 900 pounds, or 115 tons. The type is
the decapod, with ten drivers, and the
Santa Fe ~oficIals will have to construct q
specially designed roundhouse to accom-
modate the new engines. To the top Of the
stack the height is fifteen feet, and to the
top of the boiler twelve feet seven and a
half inches. The heaviest engine now doing
mountain work for the Santa Fe has a
weight OF 1853, 900 pounds on the drivers, and
a number OF engines are being built for the
company, which will have a weight Of 1911, =
900 pounds on the drivers.

NO CLEAN MONEY IN OIL BELT.
silver Coins Turned Black by Fumes
from Texas Wells.


money Is curiously colored in the oil
region" said a gentleman from Beaumont
quoted by the New Orleans Demo-
crat, and during my recent experience In
the Texas city ] could not really tell
whether was getting good money or bad
half the time. The appearance Of the sill
yer in circulation In and around Beaumont
was a revelation to me, but. Of course, men
who have been in oil regions before, where
the very air is filled with gas, knew just
why It was. Shiny dollars are really very
rare now in the Texas oil belt. The black
dollar Is the rule. The dimes,
quarters and halves are black. 1t is mar
velous how quickly the silver will become
oxidized.
81 was talking to one OF the men who was
actively engaged in working at one OF the
wells, and Just for my benefit he made \
little experiment. He searched around until
he got a new looking dollar, one that had
Just arrived and had not had time to be at
fected by the oil and gas Of the place. He
put the dollar In his pocket and went to
work at one Of the manholes. He did not
remain there a great while.
"When he returned he pulled out the dol
lar and handed 1t to me for inspection. II
was black enough. and 1t had not got out
OF his pocket until he gave 1t back to me,
The gas simply permeated the mans clothes,
got into his pocket, and when 1t struck the
silver the necessary chemical processes
were set in motion to leave the dollar col
ored. All the silver which has been at
Beaumont for any length of time is in this
condition. and the man who would draw the
color line on the dollars in the Texas oil
belt would simply be unable to do bust
ness"

PROFITS IN RAISING TREES.
Forestry Experts Point TO the Tele-
graph and CrOss-Tie Market.

graph and Cross-Tte Market.
1t has been estimated. says the New
York Sun, that the telegraph lines Of the
country require nearly 100000 new poles
every year. The cost OF these Is more
than 3 1000, 900.
1t is also estimated that there are more
than $40, 900. 900 crossties IN use by the
railroads and that 90, OOO,0 900 ties are re-
Quired every year for renewals.
The telephone and light companies use
nearly as many poles as the telegraph
companies, and the street car systems Of
the cities use nearly as many crossties as
the steam railroads.
To awaken the farmers OF the west to
the need of raising plantations Of wood
to supply these needs OF telegraph, tele-
phone and railroad companies, the forestry
division Of the Agricultural department has
issued a bulletin to show that such work
is profitable.
The prices Of pole and tie timber have
gone up nearly so per cent In the last ten
years. J. Hope sutor OF the Ohio & Little
Kanawha railroad, an expert on the tie
question, told the Central Association OF
Railroad 0ficers in Louisville a year ago
that in ten years more the prices OF ties
would be so per cent greater than at pres
ent. He also said:
mo material has yet been found as a
substitute for the wooden tie. and no
satisfactory economical method Of p~reserv-
ing the life Of the wood or prolongins
its durability has yet been discovered, and.
excepting the minor questions Of properly
seasoning and piling, the use of the tie
plate, suitable ballast and perfect drainage.
and incidentally climatic conditions, no Sc
rious consideration OF the future tie sup
ply has yet been had"
It ia for this reason tAe experts say:
From every reasonable point OF view II
appears that great profits are to be made
in the growing of forest trees in the next
twenty-five years"
1t is declared that operations should
begin In the middle west. There has al
ready been a great deal Of tree planting
on the t~reeless prairles of the central west,
especially in Kansas and Nebraska. Tho
forestry experts have found one planta-
ton near Hutchinson, Kan, planted with
catalpa trees, which In ten years has pro-
duced a net value OF s197.55 to the acre.
In Iowa, near Menlo. a 25-year-old plan
tation of red cedar showed a net value
of $200.54 to the acre. Usage orange, To-
Gust and hardy catalpa are the best trees
to grow for these commercial purposes.
