The s.orv has leaked out that the
West Virginia Central Railway was
offer ed TO the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad COMPANY before it was pur-
che sc by the Fuller syndicate In the
interest of the grand system of rail-
roads. President Loree. of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company. it
is stated, made a trip of inspection
over the property and recommended
that the offer of sale be not consld
cred. TT will be recalled that prior
to the pu- chase of the road by the
Fuller syndicate there were rumors
that the Pennsvlvanla Railroad Com
pany had purchased the West Virginia
Central with a view of contempla-
ting its control of soft coal fields. the
Norfolk and Western and Chesapeake
and Ohio having already passed under
the Pennsylvania Comuany's dlrec-
ton.
1t is also said that the Davis broth
ers and Senator Elkin. who are the
controlling factors in the West Vir-
girla Central. have loug desired to
dlsDose of the proUertv which thev
have developed, realizing that they
could never add to its value without
jndependent railroad connections to
the ssaboard. Without such connec-
tlops thew were entirely dependent
upon such rates as tho baltimore and
Ohio and the Pennsylvania Railroad b
Companies desired to give them. and,
established between these two old
time rivals. such traffic arrangements
upon the expiration of the present
contract with the Pennsylvania rail-
road COMPANY at Cumberland, might
be imposed upon them that they would
be driven from the field in connecting &
with the Pocahontas and MARYLAND
coal mines Hence the determination /
to sell before this stage shall have
been reached, and hence me offer to
the Baltimore and Ohio. which might Z
be constrJ ed as an offer to the Penn
s~vlvania, in>vjew of the close Iela-
tions, existing between the two COM
pan'es.
When the desire of the West Vir-
known, through the offer 70 the Bal
timore and Ohio the Fuller syndicate
was formed and bought the property.

RUSSIA STANDS ALONE.
Expects No Favorable Reply to Invi.
tations to Antitrust Conference
Alternative Measure.

II is semi-oHcially announced that
the Russian minister of finance ex-
poets replies in the negative from the
powers on the note regarding interna-
tional action against trusts. When
such replies are received the Russian
government will affirm that any in.
crease in duties on Russian sugar will
be regarded as an infringement of ex.
isting treaties, and IL such increase is
enforced the Russian government con.
siders itself free to disregard its
treaty stipulations. The ministry of
finance does not propose to take ac-
tion against the powers collectively.
NJ. Routkowsky. financial agent of the
Russian government in the United
States. has been instructed to com.
municate To the American press that
In case of the negative answer of pow.
ers to the note and the establishment
OF countervailing duty on Russian
sugar, the Russian government will
consider the establishment of such
duty as an infraction of its CONNER
cial treaties with powers so doing,
and therefore free from obligations
imposed by them and at liberty not
to comply with their stipulations,
whenever II will be to the advantage
of Russia. Many of the American
newspapers. Routkowsky explained,
have interpreted the note as move
on the part of the Russian government
to inaugurate European coalition
against American trade. Such an un.
derstanding. he declares. is entirely
incorrect and does the Russian gov
ernment an injustice. In retaliation
for the countervailing duty against
Russian bounty sugars imposed by the
United States. Russia now imposes
her maximum tariff rates. The object
of the statement issued is to show that
Russia is not engaged in any effort to
wage a campaign against American
trade. but to make plain to the parties
to the Brussels conference that the
imposition of countervailing duties
against Russian sugar will be met as
II was In the case of the United
States.

To walk from Richmond. Va. to

couple who left Baltimore. Sunday.
They eloper from Dayton four months
ago and went to Washington, where
they were married. From Washington
they went to Richmond. where the
man had secured employment as a
conductor on a trolley car. Then came
a strike and he lost his position. HIS
lungs were not strong and they de.
cided that he would be better of at
Dayton. especially as there did not
seem to be any way of making a liv-
ing for himself and wife in Richmond.
They had very little money, and de-
cided to walk and started out, heading
for Baltimore as one of the stopping
places. 1t took them four weeks to
reach Baltimore. The officials refused
to give the names of the couple, but
said the man was q years ola and his
wife II. They declined to accept
transportation to Dayton, but were
provided with shoes.

ounbost Arrives at Cape Haitien In
Nick Of Time. Interests Of
All Glasses Guarded.

The strong arm of the United States
was thrust into the Haitien revolution
Tuesday for the purpose Of protecting
the foreigners resident in Cape Haitien
as well as other non-combatants. Ad.
vices have been received from Com.
mander McCrea, the captain of the
gunboat Machias. That vessel was
ordered to the scene of the trouble ap-
parently in the nick of time for when
she arrived Commander McCrea found
the city in the hands of an inorganic.
ed mob. His cable dispatch on the
subject Of conditions is as follows:

ganiZed mob in the city. Foreign Con-
suls have been threatened. Will give

ton. when they received that message,
were in doubt as to the Commanders
right to use force to prevent the bonn
bardment so they consulted DR.. Hill.
the Acting Secretary of State. The
doctor assured the doubling officers
that the Captain of the gunboat would
undoubtedly be upheld in any effort
that he might make to prevent the
shedding of innocent blood by the
forces of either party now struggling
for the possession of the government
of the republic. The State Depart
ment had no hesitation in fully ap-
proving the energetic action of Com
mander McCrea in taking care of the
foreign consuls and in preventing a
bombardment without warning. The
American and foreign interests in
Cape Haitien are large and an Ameri-
can Captain is required by an UNI
written law to look after the life and
property of other foreign residents as
well as Americans in such cases. II
is said that the rules of international
law, as well as the dictates of human
ity, requires that proper notice be
given before a bombardment in order
that women, children and non-combat-
ant may leave the town and carry on
their personal belongings. The Navy
Department feels that the Machias is
sufficiently large for the work at hand.
The Machias is vessel of LIZ tons,
carrying eight Four-inch rapid-fre
guns and crew of IL officers and 143
men. While not many men could be
spared for landing party, the vessel
undoubtedly could lie in the anchorage
and cover the town with her guns.
