PLAN BIG NEW ROAD
LINE TO BE BUILT BY FOREIGN
CAPITAL FROM DULUTH TO
KANSAS CITY
CONTRACT Is FOR $12,Oo0,ooo
Ultimate Purpose of the Promoters
Is to Extend the Line Across the
Country From North to
the South.

NEW YORK, March 29.-It is announced
here that C. H Lawrence, who today re
turned to Detroit, Mich, has been grant
ed the largest contract ever given for
building Of a railroad.
The paper binds the International Con-
struction company, of Detroit, to build
800 miles or railroad, extending from Du-
luth, Mimi, to Kansas City, Mo. Ths
total amount Of the contract is for s12, 1885,
711.12
Most of the money to be put into the
enterprise is foreign capital, one Of the
principals to the contract being the So
ciete Generate Franchise ct Beige, the
great French financial concern, having
its headquarters in Paris and doing bust
ness in France and Belgium. This con-
Germ has agreed to take the 1000 600 in
bonds to be fioated on the road and has
in fact, already paid for a large amount
of the securities.
Another party to the contract is the
Gulf & Manitoba Railroad company, Of
Iowa, which will probably be the title Of
the road, the name suggesting that 1t Is
the ultimate intention of the promoters to
extend their property across the entire
United States, from north to south.
The road will pass through Minnesota,
Iowa and Part of Missouri, branch run
ming to Omaha. The contract prescribes
that 1885, 711.12 shall be paid in cash,
and that the remaining s4,600.000 shall be
paid in bonds Of the railroad. Mr.. Law
renee said that work on the railroad
would be begun without delay, the engi-
ners to go into the field next Tuesday.

directed as Soon as possible.
Says General Rushes Into Print.
There has not yet been time for the re-
port to be made and the direction for the
investigation can only just now have
reached Manila. 1t is to be regretted that
the officer of the highest rank in the
army should assume the truth of charg-

people of Cuba as well. All this was
done without the slightest reflection upon

Mckinley Favored the Plan.

the Philippine islands had been conducted

marks of the honorable secretary on that
point, it is proper to say | had suen in

letter of Gov. Taft to the honorable sec

or received by me.
Concerning my going to the Philippines,
it was my purpose nearly a year ago to
do so, and this was with the knowledge
of the secretary of war and the approval
of the late President Mckinley, but the
journey was postponed in consequence of
the increase and reorganization of the
army

Rico, and on returning bring back GER

deemed advisable, l do not ask for its
further consideration; and on making my

His London Sheet Cannot Under
stand How Amy Man of Means
Can Stay on Amer
lean Soil.

LONDON, March 29.-William Waldorf
Astors Pail Mall Gazette publishes a let
ter from it's New York correspondent
which in it's way is quite entertaining
The correspondent says:
''At the present moment it IS by no
means a fOpegone conclusion that White
law Reid will be accredited as special
ambassador from this country. The out
cry against his officially representing the
country is so great that I would not be
surprised to find the president eventually
backing down on this point.
THE truth Is, Mr.. Roosevelt Is expect
ing reelection, and the voters have to
be considered. In this way, the president
even cannot always obey the innate
prompti1gs of a gentleman in extending
the courtesies Of his country. This IS one
Of the studies Of a republic. It is tot be
neither praised nor blamed, but to be
understood. Editors here suggest, and
tney ought to know, there Is no need Of
gentleman in this country, and they
are certainly interpreted to the public
as lot of embroidered, dancing, aimless
tops, who have no necessary place IN a
land where everyone is expected to work
for his living. That Is more or less true,
for politics is closed to a man who will
not seek votes in the Irish slums, and it
is not easy to see why people Of indie
pendent means remain here.
America is intensely interesting, and
as an industrial and inventive center it's
advancement is doubtless a necessity in
the general Improvement of the world.
1T Is a great country for any man
who has to make a living. [ would be
the last to say word against it in any
way, though why travelling people Of in
dependent means should remain more
than a week in the country is not to be
comprehended.

GERMANY APPEALS TO NATIONS
TO PREVENT 1T
Refusal of Nantucket Station to Re-

81 Convention.

BERLIN, March 29-Prof. Slaby's re-
cent proposal for an international confer
ence to regulate wireless telegraphy is
many, the authorities of which country
are now drafting a circular note to be
presented to the United States, Great
Britain and France proposing a congress
for the purpose of agreeing upon means
to prevent a monopoly of wireless
telegraphy on the high seas.
According to the statements print
ed here the above step is a
direct consequence of the reported
refusal of the wireless station at
Nantucket TO receive message from
Prince Henry on board the Hamburg
American steamer Deutschland. The
statement cabled from Berlin to New
York that Germany has sent protest to
the British government against the Mar
conf peoples boycott against ships euUin-
ped with the Slaby-Arco apparatus is dis
credited here. High officials of the for
e1gn Office declare they know nothing Of
the matter.
NEW YORK, March 29.-signor Marconi
tonight issued long statement relative
to the controversy between his wireless
telegraph companies and DR.. Slaby and
Count Arco, and particularly to the re-
fusal of the Marconi companies to allow.
unless by previous arrangements with
them, communication between the Mar
conf land stations and ships equipped
with any system claiming to be different
from his system. signor. Marconi goes on
to say:

been and will continue to be made. 1
cannot take the responsibility of advising
my companies which during the last four
years have expended large sums on the
erection Of land stations, to enter into
an agreement. such as that suggested,
which would practically secure to DR..

Nelson A. Miles,
Lieutenant General Commanding U. S. A,
War Department. Washington, March
10, 1902-Respectfully forwarded to the
president disapproved.
The conduct of military affairs in the
Philippines by Gen. Chaffee and mis-
predecessors and the conduct of civil at
fairs by Gov Taft and his associates IN
the Philippine commission have been abe
and successful. Much more rapid pro-
gress has been made toward the complete
acceptance of American sovereignty, the
restoration OF peace and the establish
nient of civil government than we had
any right to anticipate when the treaty
of Paris was ratified.
Thinks the Majority Pacffied.
The plan proposed in the within papers
involve practically superseding the Of
ncers mentioned in the control which
they now exercise. Not only is iris
without justification il their conduct, but
L should regard 1t as a most unfortunate
interference with the present SatiSfac-
tory progress. There have been exceed
ingly full, extended and lOng-cOntinued
consultation and counsel between the
government Of the United States and the
leaders of opinion among insurrectionarY
FfipinOS, resulting in q full understand
ing and most friendly feeling between
by far the greater part of the Filipino
people and ourselves ard d participation
by many members of the Aguinald0 gov
ernm.,nt in the civil government under
American sovereignty.
/. append hereto a list of tWenty-three
officers of the insurrectiOnary govern
nent who row hold positions of trust IN
der our government. Agunaldo himself
has taken the position Of earnestly urg-
ing his countrynen 10 accept our sover-
eighty, and most of them have already
followed his advice
1t Is not perceived that any additional
. benefit would be obtained by taking dele
cations of Cubans and Porto Ricans to
the Philippines, or by bringing delega-
tons from the Philippines to the United
states in advance of the choice of of
tcial delegates provided for by the bill
now pending III congress.
AguinaIdO's Men Now Hold Office.
On the other hand, it would be very
difficult TO keep such 3 proceeding free
from spectacular and sensational features
Which would be injurious.
it IS not the fact that the warfare in
the Philippines has been conducted with
marked severity; on the contrary, the
Warfare has been conducted with marked
humanity anC magnanimity on the part
OF the United States army
