ANOTHER REVOLUTION.
Trouble Looked For in Honduras in
Near Future-FOstered by Ex-
President Sierra.

Mobile, Ala, Dec. 19-Advices re-
ceived here by steamer indicate that an
other revolution is imminent in Hon.
duras and that it is expected to take
place soon after the first of the year. 1t
is expected to be fostered by ex-Presi-
dent Sierra, through special envoy,
with the purpose of ousting President
Bonilla. On his retirement from the ex-
ecutive chair of Honduras President ST.
ezra named Senior Arias for president
and he was given the position. Then
Bonilla organized revolution and
overthrow Arias, who is now an exile and
in prison at Tegucigalpa. 1t is said the
people are dissatisfied with the conduct
of the government, especially in the mat
ter Of the Honduras railway. This was
built by English capitalists. Since it's
construction not a cent of interest or
principal has been paid to the bond
holders and 1t is asserted that the Eng
lish government will take cognizance of
the matter and enforce payment.

AMERICAN RAILWAYS SCORED
Interstate Commerce Commission

clared Observation-Disclosures

Washington, Dec. 19.-The slaughter
of railroad passengers in the United
States sis disgrace to the American
people, is the words of the interstate
commerce commission, which Friday
made its seventeenth annual report to
congress. The commission supplies
tentative draft of a bill providing for
government regulation Of the railroads
which would make them safer.
The gross earnings of SO per cent. of
railroad mileage for the year ending
June 80. 1908, amounted to 81 1890, $50, 679,

penses aggregated $1,24S,526,4S3, or
$6,l97 per mile, leaving net earnings of
s641 $50 1876, or $3,1S5 per mile. Fifty
three million dollars in taxes are not
included in this statement of operating
expenses. Compared with the previous
year the net earnings are greater by
some S34 100000 and stock dividends are
greater by nearly $10,000,OO0 In 1897
the gnoss earnings averaged only $6,122
and operating expenses s4,106 per mile

length. The commission refers again

RUSSIAN ATTITUDE IN COREA
Determined to Prevent Japan Gain
ing a Foothold.
American Activity Concerning Win
Resented-TrOOps Still Moving
Towards Port Arthur.

Seoul, Dec. 19.-The attitude of the
Russians here indicates a possible de-
termination to prevent Japan from gain
ing foothold in Corea. The radicals
insist that Russia must reach the sea
to insure protection in the future and
argue that Japan in possession OF Corea
would be constant menace.
The emperor still studiously avoids. an
answer to the questions of United States
Minister Allen in regard to Wiju. The
latter Is now pressing the matter and
has asked for another audience
The Russians are inclined to resent
Anne rican activity concerning Win and
say that the Americans are playing the
Japanese game. The Russians do not
object to Americans coming in and
trading with Manchuria, but assert that
the opening of Mukden and An Tung
admitted Japanese, whose presence is
constantly irritating, and that it might
lead to repetition of this if Yongampho
and Win are opened.
They say that Americans now enjoy
a large trade with Manchuria which,
ly increase in the future, and insist that
the present attitude of America only in
jures friend and customer and favors
manufacturing rival.
St. Petersburg, Dec ia traveller
who has just returned from Manchuria
says Russian troops are still moving
night and day towards Port Arthur.
The opinion here is that the Russo
Japanese negotiations will proceed. 1t
is pointed out that there is no reason
why Japan, if not satisfied with Rus
sia's reply, should break off the negoti-
atoms, since the reply is in no sense an
ultimatum, leaving the way open for
counter proposals. 1t is suggested as
an expedient in case no agreement can
be reached that an arrangement might
be made to maintain the present status
for number of years.
