Pleasures Enjoyed By Many Thou
sands of Visitors.

Lake Placid, N. Y. Aug. 05peciaI.-The week
ea6ing to-day might be termed "Old Home Week"
IN the Adirondacks. for lack of a better name, so
many OF the visitors of previous seasons seem to
chosen IL for their time OF returning to their
favorite resorts. The hotels practically all
filed with guests and the is at its height.
There have been many social affairs OF interest
house parties. hops and euchres, while there have
been many boating parties. mountain climbing
parties, golf and tennis matches and other features
OF the outdoor life in the North Woods. The air
Is bracing. and the scenery more beautiful than
ever after the refreshing showers
The Delaware and Hudson Railroad Company
plans the completion OF its standard gauge track
through from PIattsburg to Lake Placid in time for
use tomorrow. The opening of this line means
practically the opening OF new avenue into the
AdIrondacks, for many have foregone the pleas
ures OF the trip by boat up Lake Champaign be-
cause they preferred not to take the long ride to
Lake Placid over the narrow gauge road. The new
roadbed is fine one and the branch in all respects
now corresponds to the rest of the Delaware ana
Hudson service Many people coming into the
mountains next week WIFI probably avail them
selves OF this route which runs through a wild
and picturesque part OF the mountains.
IN Lake Placid there are active preparations TOT
one Of the busiest social seasons in years. A big
charity ball at the Stevens House. a FAIR at the
Grand View and a big launch parade on Lake
Placid are among the attractions being arranged
for while q whole week IS to be given to the annual

Wabash Refuses Increase on It's Ca
madam Lines.


Chicago, April 19-Through an Off
cial of the brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen it is learned that the Wabash
officials have notified the officers of the
order that their demand for an increase
to the fremen on the Canadian line can
not be complied with.
1t is stated that this demand was pro-
visionally granted, the provision being
that if an agreement with the Grand
Trunk had not been made to hold
wages at the present schedule the Wa
bash would allow its Canadian firemen
the same wages as are paid on the
Michigan Central.
Tt is stated that since making this
provisional agreement the Wabash Off.
cials, who have refused to discuss the
matter, have learned from the president
Of the Grand Trunk that the Wabash
has a three years contract with THAI
road to maintain the present schedule.
From an authoritative source it IS
learned that the Grand Trunk is un-
willing for the Wabash to abrogate its
contract.
The official Of the firemen was unable
to state what acton would be taken by
the order. but intimated that demands
would be made on the Grand Trunk to
increase its schedule or dissolve the
contract with the Wabash. He was of
the coiniOn however, that the action
e. the Wabash would not cause any
lurther trouble between the company
and the employees because the agree
nlent was made cOnditfOnally

RAILROAD news.
American Railroad Men Are
Treated Well in Mexico.
Many Complaints Caused Inves-
tigatiOn to Be Made.
ARE NOT IMPRISONED.
RumOrs of Their Mistreatment
Are Untrue.
With Few Exceptions They Re-
ceive Prompt and Fair Trials.

Washington April 13.-Many com
plants nave reached the state depart
ment charging that American railroad
men have been badly treated in Mexico
as the result of the rigid application of
local laws Furnishing persons concern
ed in an accident. Some time ago an
investigation was begun by the state
department, the result of which is
shown in the following report from
consul general at Mexico City:
Our ambassador to Mexico sometime
ago asked me to make careful inquiry
and investigate concerning the impris-
onment, prompt trials ard just treat
ment of American railroad men, con-
nected with railroads within the juris-
diction Of this consulate general which
embraces about three-fifths of the terri
tory of the entire Mexican republic.
1 have caused a careful investigation
to be made and 1 find there are no
American railroad men imprisoned for
mishaps or accidents in operating
trains and there have been very few
cases within the past two years In al
most every case of arrest within this
Jurisdiction within the past two years
prompt and just trials have been
granted and in no case do I find that
such q serious condition and seeming
unjust hardship obtains as used to be
reported in the newspapers some years
ago. I have talked with American
conductors, engineers and train opera
tors and they inform me that as a rule
they are we'll treated, their rights re-
spected and excepting in a very few
cases prompt trials and fair unpreJu-
diced treatment have been given them
by the Mexican courts.

Mexican Rate Increaaa-

Austin. Texas. April 13-The rail
roads Of Mexico are preparing to unite
in a petition to the Mexican govern
ment for authority to adjust their rates
SO as to conform to the value of the
money of the country. A schedule for
the proposed increase is being made. In
order to overcome the losses that are
now sustained by the operation of the
principal roads under existing cOndi-
tions. the increase Of rates will neces-
sarily be very great. The shippers are
said to be preparing a protest against
the proposed increase. and it can not
be foretold at this time what action the

the Mexican Central railroad is in a bad
way unless an increase in its tariffs is
obtained or the Mexican dollar is put up
