DEPOT FOR SEAB0ARD.
Reported IL VIII Build Passenger
station i'm Atlanta.


Atlanta, Oct. 20.-The Seaboard Air
Line has secured options on a large
lot of|reaI estate on Haynes. Mangum,
Magnolia and Furman streets, between
Mitchell and Peters, just to the south
of where it is said the Southern in
tends to build its new passenger depot,
and the report is that the Seaboard
may build a passenger depot itself,
forestalling the Southern in the mat
ter.
1t is well known that the states
proposition is done for. and that very
soon the railroads themselves viii have
to build a station.
A large number of Seaboard people
were here to-day looking over this
property, President John Shelton Will
liams being one of the number. Mr..
J. Randolph Anderson of Savannah
was here also.
None of the Seaboard people would
talk about their mission, and the pur-
pose for which they desire the property
is only surmise. There appears good
reason to believe, however, that they
have some such object as this in view.
Bradford L. Gilbert, the well-known
architect and engineer is also here, and
this lends color to the report.

so as TO permit of the issuance of pass
ports to pessons owing allegiance to
the United States, whether citizens or
not, the secretary of state has drawn
up rules under which passports shall

passports will be issued to loyal Fill

the new law and of the rules now
going into effect will be to extend to

To Represent Railroads. And Act With =

Topeka, July 2e.-General Manager
b. Q. Nudge of the Santa Fe is at a
meeting in Chicago where the general
managers of the railroads centering in
Chicago are considering the advisa bill
ity of establishing a general labor
board, whose individual members will
be empowered to act for the railroads
they represent. Should the plan be
carried out an attempt viii also be
made to induce the labor unions to or
ganize a similar board to treat with
the railway board of grievances. The
plan has not been fully outlined, and
there are certain difficulties in the
way Of its being carried out Several
of the executive officials of the big
systems, however, are interesting
themselves in the matter in the hope
that such boards will be found to be
practicable. The object of the plan is
to save expense and time for both the
railroad officials and the employees.

10000, 900 BUSHELS CROP
For 20 Years The Corn Crop Has
Doubled Value of Wheat.
ONE YEAR HAS BEATEN THIS.

Topeka, July 29.-Kansas is good for
a $50, 600, 900 bushel corn crop this
year. This estimate is considered exc
tremely conservative by grain men.
The present condition of the growing
crop is excellent in all parts of the
state. In nearly all the valleys the
corn is made" The crop on the up
valley corn. It is now in the roasting
ear stage. The ground, however, is
full of moisture sufficient to carry the
crop through, although, of course,
another general rain would help some.
The valley corn, however, does not
need another drop of rain to mature it.
Secretary Coburn is now getting re-
ports from the various county clerks,
containing agricultural statistics,
which the law makes it the duty Of the
clerks to furnish him. But the clerks
have until August l to forward their
reports. Some of them are slow, as
usual, and for this reason the exact
acreage of corn cannot be given. Sec
rotary Coburn never guesses at thing,
or gives out any figures that he cannot
substantiate From other sources,
however, it is carefully estimated that
the acreage this year will be between
z, 500, 900 and 5000, 900 acres. Thus it
will only take an average yield of
little over thirty bushels to the acre to
bring the total yield up to $50, 900, 900
bushels. This has been exceeded only
once. In 1889 the corn crop of the
entire state was 273, 900, 900 bushels.
Nineteen crops in the past forty years
have averaged more than thirty bush
els to the acre. Never were conditions
more favorable than now, and some
enthusiasts claim the yield this year
will average more than forty bushels
to the acre. This would make over
300, 600, 900 bushel crop. This is not an
unreasonable estimate, for ten crops in
the past forty years have averaged that
much.
The aggregate value of the Kansas
corn crop for the past twenty years
was STA, O55, sos. The aggregate value
Of the wheat crop in that same period
was $451, 093, 1874. People generally
think of Kansas only as wheat state.
Yet the fact remains that the corn
crop for the past twenty years has been
double the value of the wheat crop.
