Honduras sieSes Railroad.
The State department is considering the
controversy raised by the seizure by the
government of Honduras of the railroad
from Puerto Cortez to Lapimienta, which
was l,ased to an American syndicate in
1897 for twenty-five years. Senator De-
pew of New York, Colonel John Jacob AS
tor and other prominent people are said to
be largely Interested in the syndicate. The
controversy grows out Of a large issue Of
bonds issued many years ago to build the
road. These bonds eventually found their
way into the hands of British and Ameri-
can citizens, but their claims were not
pressed until about a year ago, when the
British in Honduras filed a protest against
the lease. Action upon the protest was
postponed until May q, when the govern
ment seized the road. The State depart
ment has no information as ito why the
road waJ coniscated, but the reports of
the American syndicate intimate that 1t is
to protect the interests OF the government
! and that the interests Of the syndicate are
not jeopardlzed Both the American bond
holders and the representatives of the
the department Whether the bondhoId-
ers are seeking to have the department
| enforce their claim is not known, but 1t is
presumed that such is their purpose, as
| they contend the bonds are a lien on the
road. The other side contends that the
amount owing on account of the bonds is

INCREASE ON RIO GRANDE.
Will Distribute $4,000 a Month in Ad-
dition to Present Pay Roll.

A special dispatch from Denver
says:
The committee from the Denver &
Rio Grande and Rio Grande Western
engineers and firemen, which has been
laboring with the officials of the sys-
tenn since January 26, has ended its
work by securing a large increase In
pay and other concessions from the
road. Most Of the members Of the
committee have returned to their
homes.
The men have secured a blanket
wage increase of 8 per cent on simple
engines and tx per cen on compound
engines, with a special increase on
certain classes running as high as As
per cent and making the average in
crease in wages about 10 per cent for
the 500 engineers and firemen of the
system. This means an enlargement
of the pay roll about 100000 a month.
The concessions besides the general
increase are considered most valuable
by the engineers and firemen. The pas
| senger mileage has been reduced from
105 to 100 miles a day maximum and
Is to 70 miles a day minimum. This is
considered equal to an increase of
wages of AS per cent.
The company agreed to take much
OF the work for caring for parts Of the
machinery off the hands of the engin'
GERS and to place other parts more con
%venient to use. 1t is agreed that no
engineer will be kept out of work Ion
ger than five days while his engine is
being repaired.

men be reinstated that had been dis
| charged for various causes. The com

A colonization scheme Is being form

G.. Nikirk, city agent for the Santa Fe
railroad. The company has made ar
rangements to bring 100 Swedish fam
lilies to this country and will place
them on farms, where 1t is expected a
large amount of money will be made.
While a definite location has not yet
been decided upon, it is learned from
inside information that a large tract of
land has been secured in the south
western port of Pueblo county, Colo
RADIO, and that a ditch will be run
through that territory. The colonists
have already been secured and will
come direct from Sweden and they will
arrive within q month. 1t Is said that
the immigrants are exceptionally In
telligent and are scientific farmers.
The company proposes to divide the
tract into forty acre farms, and 1t Is
the intention to raise mostly garden

in Denver and other cities In that vi

probably be the principal crop raised
