MODERN RAILR0ADlNG.
Two English Railroad Officials Pursu-
ing the Right Course ofStudy.

Two exalted officials of . one of the
leading railway systems of the Unit
ed Kingdom of Great Britain. General
Superintendent Watson and Chief En-
gineer Cudworth. of the Northwestern
Railway of England, were SATURDAY.
afternoon, the guests of Division SUI
perintendent Charles W. Galloway,
whose pleasant mission it was to show
these distinguished Britons about the
Baltimore d Ohio property, and aid
them in their study in advanced Amer
lean railway management
Messrs Watson and Cudworth were
sent to this country bv the manage
ment of the Northeastern. and during
their stay in the United States will
be shown every courtesy by the Amer
lean railway brethren. The Baltimore
& Ohio has provided car for the
journey over its system and every OPP
portunitv for the study of American
railroading is afforded Returning east
from Chicago, the gentlemen will jour
ney over the Vanderbilt lines. They
were accompanied as far as Grafton
by Supt. Galloway ON Saturday after
noon
To the American railroad man the
system EMPLOYED by the Britons in dis
posing of their freight and passenger
traffic is lax and Anticipated For in
stance, the management knows moth
ing Of what has been accomplished on
a certain day until the dav following,
when reports are prepared and sent in
to HEADQUARTERS. A disDatcher's train
sheet. showing the location of every
train on the division, is unheard of in
England, and if delay or break down
occurs the officials learn of it the next
day. A system so lax in America
would speedily demoralize traffic

PAY TIER OWN EXPENSES
Coal Strike Arbitrator Viii Not
Accept transportation.
CONCLUSION THEY REACHED
Mine Workers Pleased at Attitude Of Commits
sion and Hope to Stand Some Chance.

Washington, Oct. 2s.-The anthra-
cite coal strike commission at its ses-
sion Yesterday, decided upon a general
plan of procedure and arranged to
hold its first investigating session in
the Hotel Jermyn. Scranton, Pa. I,
Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. The
objection of the coal operators to any
recognition of President Mitchell in
any official capaeTty was verbally pre-
sented 1t is thought that President
Mitchell's later announcement that he
was present as a representative of the
anthracite miners will put an end to
any further controversy upon this
point While the question of compen-
sation for the members remains unset
tied the commission proposes not TO
put itself iii any questionable atti-
tude. For this reason the commission
decided after adjournment that it would
not accept the transportation offer OF
the operators, but that it would defray
It's own expenses.

was one of the grievances of 1900 and
was abolished in the Schuykill region
when the settlement of that strike was
affected There, they contend that
the principle of fixing the wages OF
the men according to the price of coal
at tidewater was unfair and one-sided.
The miners are pleased with the
news that the members of the commits.

INDIAN SYSTEM WRONG
Congressman Says Indians Should
Be Kept in Constant Touch
With Civilization.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Congressman
Frank Eddy has some ideas about dealing
with the red man. He has come to the
conclusion that the present system is
fundamentally wrong. Mr.. Eddy says:
l DO not know whether it is too late to
change or not, but am inclined to think a
change might still be made to advantage.
Up to this time the whole idea Of the govern
ment seems to have been to drive tho Indians
together on reservations which were kept
separate from the rest of the world For
educational purposes, certain Indians are
taken from these aggregations at times and
put into schools. They are taught civiliza-
ton; then they are taken back and put with
their fellow tribesmen, as If with the idea
that they would leaven the whole lump and
uplift their people Instead of this happen
ing. they themselves 60 back and revert to
barbarism. So the race as a whole has re-
manned uncivilized, and the only solution Of
the Indian problem seems to be in extino-
ton.
Now, this is all wrong. 1t is clearly DEM
onstrated that the Indian may be civilized.
When he Is brought in contact with civiliza-
ton he contracts 1t and becomes a decent,
industrious, educated citizen. Therefore he
should be brought and kept in contact with
civilization. He should not be sequestered.
Instead of setting aside reservations from
which the white man is excluded as if by
"a nlSn, lmpassaDle wall, the Indian should be
forced to dwell alongside Of whites.
If had my way, Indian reservations would
be divided into alternate sections; every other
section would be opened to settlement for
homesteaders. Thus the Indian would be
brought into close and constant touch with
civilization. He would see how things are
done. He would be employed on the farms
and in the mines and factories of the settlers,
and would learn to go and do likewise on his
' Ion mo- 1df Vryin H,,&
he will not work continuously. He will make
a stake and then go off and spend it, He is
not regarded as the equal of white labor: but
the Indian is largely the creature of his en-
vronment If supported he will not work
and will not try to learn Neither can he
| learn in minute to overcome all the faults
| Of his ancestry and breeding but when
brought into a proper environment he IL
capable of making good citizen, and it Is
| the fault of the government if he Ia not one.
