CLARK & HARTMAN.
Montana Millionaire and Railroad
Magnate Work Together

Montana Millionaire and Railroad
Magnate Work Together
San Francisco, Jan. 9.-The Exam
liner says:
By making an alliance with Senator
leaves Prince Poniatowski's projected
railroad from Los Angeles to San Fran
cisco in the air and neutralizes the dan
ger of possible combination between
Poniatowski, Clark and the Gould rail-
road system.
The Clark corporation has agreed to
buy from Hartman 800 miles OF road,
part of the Oregon short Line, running
southwest from Salt Lake to a point in
Southeastern Nevada This deal IS to
be closed in New York within a few
days. BY means of it, Senator Clark
gets rid of a parallel line which Harri-
man was preparing to build.
On the other hand, Hartman has an
understanding with Clark, so it is said,
by which Guold is shut out from part
ownership in the road projected by
Prince Poniatowski from San Francisco
to Los Angeles to connect with the
Clark Systm.
Owning the 300 miles of the Oregon
Short Line, Senator Clark will have
about 400 miles more to build. All the
surveys are made and construction is in
progress.
AS the story runs, Clark is to pay
$4,000, 900 or $l2 200, 900 for the three
hundred miles, Hartman and his
friends are to accept bonds of the Clark
Company. Once the cutoff is finished,
it will connect with the Hartman and
Gould lines at Salt Lake and give each
an impartial service into Southern Cal
ifornia.

WANT HIM TO STAY.
Popular Demonstration at Manila in
Honor of Gov. Taft.


Manila, Jan. 12.-The general regret
of the Filipino people at the possible
departure of Governor Taft resulted
Sunday in popular demonstration for
the purpose of urging the governor to
remain in the islands. The streets of
Manila have been placarded with signs
in English, Spanish and Tagalo, saying
eve want Gov. Taft" A crowd of
5000 men marched to Malacanan pal
ace, the governors residence, Sunday.
Upon reaching the palace speeches
were made by representatives of the
Federal, Liberal and Nationalist par
ties, in which the governor was urged
to remain. The speakers said Mr. Taft s
presence was necessary to preserve or
der, for the prevention of political dis
ruption, and to insure the maintenance
OF the present policy. The speakers
paid personal tributes to the governor,
the crowd cheering its approval.
In replying to the address, Governor
Taft said it would not be decided at
present whether he leave the islands or
remain until next August. He assured
the people that if he did leave, the
present policy of the American govern
ment would suffer no change, it being
not question of individuals, but OF
national policy. After the speeches,
the thousands of natives who filled the
grounds of the palace broke into cheers
for the governor.

NEW RAIL MILEAGE.
Washington Stands Second in the
Northwest States.

NOFtAWCct otauCbs
Seattle, Jan. 9.-During the year
1902 there was new railroad construe-
ton in the state of Washington amount
ing to 1856 miles. This represented
only the amount that was pat In oper-
alton and does not include the Coulee
City.Adrian extension of the Northern
Pacific, or the lines that have been
built in Western Washington in the
tin Der districts.
Leaving this last new mileage out,
this state stands fifteenth in the list of
forty-four states and territories in which
new tracks have been laid during the
year that has passed, according to a
statement which will be issued by the
Railway Age.
The states and territories which ex-
coed this one in the new construction
put into operation are: Alabama,
Georgia, Indian Territory. Iowa, Lou
isiana. Minnesota, Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Penn
sylyania, Texas, Utah and Wisconsin.
Washington stands ahead of all other
states and territories.
In the llSt OF states given az aneau
of Washington it will be noticed that a
majority of them are in the South,
where, in the past there have been
fewer miles of new construction than in
any other part of the country. Only
within the past three years has there
been demand for more railroad mile
age in these states, and therefore all
lines enjoying traffic from the South,
are adding to their main and branch
tracks.
The showing of the several north
western states is good for Washington.
Minnesota leads in the list with 2l6.13
miles; Washington, 1916 miles; Or
egon, l9 miles; California, 94'75 miles;
Montana, 35 SO miles; North Dakota,
94.7 miles; South Dakota, 81 .23 miles

Mr., Carnegie Interested.

The mans sense of humor. as well as his
keen knowledge of human nature, Is illus
trated by his description of recent con-
versation with Andrew Carnegie, who Is
taking an interest in Tuskegee. and has
already done much for the school,
Carnegie talked about his books" he
said. land told me that Joaquin Miller. the
poet, knew one Of them by heart. 1 found
that I hadn't read anything by Carnegie,
SO as soon as left him went to publish
er's and ordered everything that he ever
wrote sent to me. l have commenced to
bone up for the next meeting"
By the way. Carnegie is daily expected at
Tuskegee, and 1t Is to be hoped that he will
open his purse strings wide for a most
worthy object.
Booker Washingtons advice to a Mexican
who asked him what could be done in
Mexico to improve the condition of the poor

What are they doing now?" asked the
negro.

Teach them to raise better Sheep" said
Mr. Washington.
He encourages negro music at Tuskegee
because at Is about the only thing We have
created in America-the only music that
We have originated-and it's real music"
Booker T. Washington occupies unique
place in the world today. He is without
doubt the greatest living race leader and
he Is all the greater because he Is leading

To PLAY for Charity.

The Georgetown Orchestra will devote
the proceeds of its next concert to two
charitable enterprises that have the hearth
est support Of the Washington public, viz.
The Associated Charities and the Junior
Republic. Though this is the first time in
many years that the orchestra has been
identified in missionary work in the strict
sense. yet 1t must not be forgotten that.
broadly speaking, 1t has for twenty years
been doing missionary work in elevating
the musical standards of Washington and
giving the younger musicians an opportun-
ity to handle the best class of music. 1t
has. In fact. been a conservatory of music
for Washington and has supplied in large
measure the gap in the local educational
system that is still vacant &c. in entering
upon a special field of beneficence the
GEORGETOWN Orchestra is simply continuing
in It's accustomed course and it is hoped
that philanthropists and music lovers alike
will help by their support to make this
concert a success. The advance sale has
already begun at T. Arthur Smiths ticket
agency. in Sanders & Stayman's, 1897 F
street and will continue daily until the
date Of the concert. which will be given in
the Columbia Theater at AIS on the after
