BURLlNeToN's PLAN.
Story Is Current That New Line Is
Contemplated.

SOntem pialeus
tFrom Saturdays Daily.l
The Burlington Journal features
story regarding the object of the Bur.
lington in widening the narrow guage
tracks of the B. e w. railway, and
saying that the ultimate outcome Of
the change is bound to be the construc.
ton of new main. line across Iowa in
the tier of counties just north of the
one in which Wapello county is locat-
ed. The line, says the Burlington au-
thority, will cross he river at Keiths
burg, ILL.,, on double track bridge. and
will join the present main line of the
Burlington at Galva, ILL.,
This story is along the line of one
published several months ago and is
very feasible. The change would not
mean disaster to Ottumwa nor to the
other cities along the present line in
Iowa, for if this were SO the company
would not have double tracked it's sys-
TEN and spent SO much money improv
ing the roadbed through the state.
A New Idea.
The Journal states as positive fact
that the Burlington has bought the
Iowa Central and will use it's track
from Winfield to Keithsburg and part
of the way from Winfield to Oskaloosa
where the tracks of the Central and
new phase of the Iowa Central miX-up
and it is hard to see how the purchase
of the Central by the Minneapolis &
st. Louis and the purchase of the
same road by the Burlington can be
one and the same. However, the the
DRY of the new tracks across Iowa is
a good one even after eliminating the
Iowa Central plank. The Journal
speaks as follows concerning the
change:
The Plan.
From Oskaloosa the line will be eX-
tended west through Marion, Warren,
Madison, Adair, Cass and Pottawatta-
ME counties, and striking the Mis-
souri, river at Council Bluffs.
From Winfield east the old track of
the Iowa Central will be utilized as
far as Keithsburg, and from there an
with the main line Of the c.. B. & O.
at Galva. By this arrangement the
Burlington will have direct line from
Chicago to Omaha, which will be much
shorter than any present main line o!
railway between Chicago and the Mis-
souri, river.
From Oskaloosa west the new line
will run through a district which is
not occupied by a trunk line. The
Rock Island runs through the tier OF
counties on the north and the Burling
ton runs through the tier on the south
Both roads have always fought for the
traffic from this district, but now The
Burlington proposes to control the en-
tire district, which is one of the rich
est and most productive in the world
The Rock Island people are expected
to make hard fight for their share
of the traffic, but with the Burlington
running through the heart of the coun-
try the Rock Island will not stand
much show.
"The roadbed of the new line will be
one of the finest in the country and
trains will be able to be run more
economically than their competitors.
The steepest grades will only average
about 20 feet to the mile and there is
not another road with less than a 70
foot grade.
"The Burlington through passenger
trains and mail trains will be run over
the new line because of the advan
tages in the distance and grade

THE EXODUS FROM LONDON.
Only the Richer Glass of Visitors Are
Remaining.

London, June 27.-London is begin
ming to realize the practical effects of
the coronation postponement. The eX-
odus of visitors to the Continent and
the provinces is taxing the capacity of
the railroads and steamboats,. This re-
turn traffic, however nowise makes up
the railroad lines loss of hundreds of
thousands of passengers from the
provinces and nearer Continental
points who had delayed their coming
to the last moment. The big tourist
agencies we're crowded all day book
ing the cheaper class of "trippers" for
whom London, minus the coronation,
had no attration. How much
London's floating population has
been reduced during the past twenty
four hours it is hard to estimate. All
persons of moderate means who can
get away are getting out of the city as
quickly as possible. The smaller ho-
tells and clearinghouse are the worst
sufferers. The big hotels declare they
have been almost unaffected by the
postponement of the kings crowning,
the wealthy Americans and others who
had come to witness the coronation
making no move to go, though the next
fortnight, doubtless, will witness a gen
eral migration to the Continent and
Scotland. ...,

HOPE FOR HIS RECOVERY.
Opinion Of a High Medical Authority

London, June 27.-The British Med
tcal Journal says: "@ ~ ~,
Should the kings symptoms pursue
the course they have hitherto followed
there is good reason to hope for his
majesty's restoration to health. Ow-

Is inevitable that his convalescence
should be somewhat prolonged, but
we believe if no complications arise
that there is no reason to fear his re-
covery will not be complete.

the public from needing these wild

The Conference Report on the Isthmian
Canal Bill is Finally
Agreed to.
Heburn Still Firm in the Belief that the
Nicaragua Route is the
Better.
Cuban's Minister and Active Secretary
Hill at Work on the Cuban
Treaty.

Washington, June 27.-At the con-
clusion Of routine business in the house
Mr.: Hepburn Qa.), chairman of the
committee on interstate commerce,
called up the conference report on the
isthmian canal bill.
The statement submitted by him
Wednesday was read, showing that the
effect Of the adoption of the report
would be the elimination of the house
bill and the enactment into law of the
senate bill. - .Gl
81 desire to move the adoption of the
report" said Mr. Hepburn. "In doing
so desire to say that l have not
changed in the slightest degree my be-
lief in the wisdom of the house Of rep
resentatives on the 9th of last Jan
uary." @'' s
At this point further proceedings
| were blocked by the speakers an
nouncement that the original papers
| were missing and that no action could
| be taken until they were before the
| house. -'
'*The papers should be in the hands
of the clerk" observed Mr. Hepburn.
| But they are not here" announced
the speaker. "They must be in the
senate. At any rate it is we'll settled
that conference report cannot be con-
sidered without the original papers,
After short delay the papers were
found and Mr.. Hepburn moved to adopt
the conference report.
| Believes Negotiations Will Fail.
Mr.. Hepburn had quite long col
| Mr. oh
over the time in which the president
was to conduct the negotiations with
the Panama Canal company, and said
that the senate rejected every PROPOSE
ton made by the house conferees. He
would not have made this report if he
did not believe that it was the senate
bill or nothing. He also declared that
he did not believe the Panama Canal
company possessed anything we cared
to buy.
Nj. Hepburn said he thought the
president would fail in his negotia-
tions and could then resort to the other
route.
!Ir. Burton CO., urged the accept
ance OF the report, saying sentiment
had been growing in favor of the Pan
ana route
Mr.. Underwood (Ala) said the peo-
i'ie OF his state favored Nicaragua but
he believed it was best to accept the
| compromise.
| Mr. Mann (I1l.) said it was one ster
nearer a canal, due to the efforts of two
men, Senator Morgan and Representa-
tive Hepburn. TApplausel.
The report also was supported by
Messrs. Sulzer IN. ", Fletcher
(Minn.), Adamson (Ga.), Williams
(Miss.) and others.
| Mr.. McRae, (Ark.) said he consid-
cred the substitution of the Panama
| route for the Nicaragua route a mon
! umental blunder.
A roll call was ordered on the adop-
tion of the report and the motion was
carried 252 to 8.
Those voting in the negative were:

HEARING POSTPONED,
Striking Tuemen at Duluth Appear
Before Inspectors

Duluth, June 27.-striking licensed
tugmen to the number Of fifteen ap-
peared before the United States in
spectors here to show cause why their
licenses should not be revoked, being
charged with ''hindering commerce on
the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes
Towing company, which brought the
charges, was not prepared and asked
for a continuance, which was granted,
no time being set The men consider
the action of the towing company light
ly and declare there is no chance of
being deprived of their papers.
Supervising Inspector General Du-
mont has upheld the stand taken by
four of the local strikers, who refused
to answer certain questions regarding
the recent action brought at Buffalo.
The inspector general bases his de-
cision on the fact that the local in
spectors had no right to compel the
men to answer questions that might
incriminate themselves.

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis. June 21.-The weather
continues very bad and wet. 1t not
only is causing considerable rust and
interfering with harvesting, but pre-
vents the marketing of grain on the old
crop. Illinois and Iowa were the re-
cipients of quite excessive rains over
night which should do no harm further
than lodging some Of the heaviest
wheat with good straw growth. The
strength in coarse grains have never
theless been but feebly responded to
in the wheat pit. and We may have a
hfeless wheat market the balance of
the month as the trade has been largely
attracted to corn and oats. On de-
clines we would favor purchases as the
spread has narrowed too closely and
good investment buying should result
Corn found but little resistance un-
til nearly another cent had been added
to Yesterdays high prices. There was
some disposition on the part of patient
holders to accept 20 cents for the July
but insiders were lenient and gave
shorts permission to reserve part of
their margins for celebrating purposes.
Corn is badly in need of warm, dry
weather to permit much needed cul-
tivation and force the growth.
Oats have been the king Bee" on
the pits this morning, the new July
being forced up to 47c. something
which seemed absurd. not over ten
days ago. There must have been an
extremely large short interest which
recent rains have frightened to cover
ing with this result. While there will
be practically no new oats in the mar
ket in July. prices will warrant a clean
ing up of bins to receive what prom
ises to be good average crop.
Provisions are for the present neg
'lected, as leaders in the provision pit
have seemingly let them take care Of
themselves and are sharing in the corn
and oats operations where quick turns
are easy. 1t will materially improve
the situation when the grains settle
down, as the higher range OF values
will surely present a more favorable
outlook for the hog product, as the
raw material will be forced to the mar
3kets. thereby depicting the hog supply.
