wages on American ships.

Beyond the larger first cost Of Amer
lean built ships another weighty fac
tor in the question Of how to revive
the american merchant marine is the
wide difference in shipboard wages be-
tween this country and its European
competitors. This difference in wages
Is not characteristic Of the high speed
mail steamers alone. In the report Of
the commissioner Of navigation for
1000 there is comparison Of the pay
rolls of the American cargo steamer
Plciades and the British cargo steam
ers Lady Joicey and Masconomo, all OF
about $500 tons. The twenty-six OFF,
GERS and men Of the American ship re-
ceive S1,215 month, or $14.5S0 year,
in wages. The thirty officers and men
Of one British ship receive 1851 a
month. or $11,532 a year. and the thir
ty-two officers and men Of the other
British ship receive 1919 month, or
$11,751 a year Practically the same
difference will be found in the wages
on board American and British sailing
vessels. Winthrop L. Marvin in Scrib-

Wichita, Kas., Dec. e.-Judge Dale to-

cases involving about a half million

The suits grew out of the consolida-

The plaintiff in each case ayers that
it voted bonds in return for which it
got stock in the old road and when the
absorption took place each declares it
received nothing for its stock. The
county sued to recover $128,000 with in

FI11P1Nos WON'T WORK.
Government May Have to Import
Chinese Labor for Island Railroads

Washington, Dec. 9.-One of the
Strong features of the coming admins
tration of Governor Taft as head of the
war department will be his advo -acy
OF railroad extension in the Philippine
islands, as means of developing
conditions of trade. An expert eng1-
neer under the governors direction has
recently completed survey OF the IS
land of Luzon and reported to the gov
ernor on the details of cost and the
practical returns promised. These par
ticularS will be brought to washington
by Governor Taft when he comes to the
war department early in February. AS
showing how thoroughly the subject
has been investigated by the governor
the following figures can be given as
representing the feasible projects now
in mind for which he will probably ask
help and cooperation from the United
States government: From Manila TO
APART, 1886 miles, at a cost of $6,675,6O2;
Dagupan to Laoag, 168 miles, s., 1851 ,O56;
Manila to BatangaS, So miles, $l,O9l, 45I-
That the full measure of difficulties
to be met has been taken is shown by
the report of the engineers as to the
conditions surrounding labor and the
trouble to secure material. Relative TO
the question of labor Mr.. J. T. Norton
says: This is by far the most import
ant question in connection with the
construction of railways. The average
native laborer of Luzon does not take
kindly to any sort of work except
planting and harvesting Elce ana Ish-
ing An increase in rate of wages does
not stimulate him to earn more mon
ey, but to put in less time. He is averse
to hard manual labor and to working
regular hours under direction of a fore
man. The labor supply has been re
duced by war and pestilence, ana what
exists is composed of men that are I'M
dersized and weak as compared with the
laborer of other countries. There is no
possibility of building the proposed
lines of railway or any of them within
a. reasonable length of time except by
the Importation of Chinese or other
foreign labor. A measure that would
aid to some extent would be the pas
sage of law requiring all ahle-bodled
men residing within given distance OF
proposed lines to work a certain num-
Der of days per month or year on their
construction, receiving fair wage for
so doing. Some of the government rail-
ways of Central America were largely
built by laborers of this class, and
there was a constantly increasing num-
Der of them who remained voluntarily
on the works after having served their
allotted time. Estimates have Deen
based upon the completion of the three
/ lines within three years after com
mencement of actual construction,
which will undoubtedly require foreign
labor. With such labor the prices given
will not apply, as dragging the con
str11ction over five or ten years OF time
would so largely increase the admins
trative expense and interest charges.

NEW IMMIGRANT AGREEMENT
Western Roads Say They Viii
stSpurn' MacDonald's Offers.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Railroads west of
Chicago and ST. Louis have entered into
new agreement whereby they hope
to control immigrant traffic amounting
to more than 81, 100000 annually, divid-
ing it among themselves according to
agreed percentages. The agreement
was perfected at the meeting in New
York, at which were present represen-
tatives of all the ocean steamship lines.
The latter were told that in the future
their agents would receive but instead
of 10 per cent commission on the traf-
fic, and were forced to accept that or
nothing.
Peter Macdonald, who has been the
chief thorn in the flesh of the western
roads for years, was dismissed with
scarcely a thought, for the roads be-
lieve that they are now in a position to
Withstand his assaults. 1t was assert
ed today that if Macdonald should Of
fer any western road all the immigrant
traffic controlled by him the offer would
be spurned and the new agreement lived
up to rigidly.

They DON'T CARE.
Council Indifferent About Re-
funding Bond Issue.
Time and Rate of Interest
Doesn't Worry Them.
WILL BEAR 5 PER CENT
Time Fixed by the Ordinance Is
90 Years.
Annexation Ordinance Extend
ing City Limits Is Passed.

BY a vote of s to s. the city council
last night decided to issue the $4,000
refunding bonds for a period of 20 years
instead of % years. The interest was
allowed to remain at per cent, where
the committee put it.
1t certainly will seem queer to future
generations when they discover that the
city of Topeka, after having f1oated
per cent bonds should a year later is
sue per cent bonds, for no apparent
reason. Mayor Bergundthal stated to
the council that several bankers he had
talked to told him that per cent bonds
would have to be issued if the city ex-
pected to find buyer. and the council
seemed to take his word for it. Moth
ing was said about lowering the inter
est charge. Even the proposition to
reduce the time from % to 20 years
was carried by the narrow margin of
one vote.
1t seemed as though members of the
council took the same don't care view
of the case that Councilman Swendson
did when he said, in addressing the
council:
Il can't see that it will make any
special difference to us whether we is
sue these bonds for 20 or 25 years. For
my part q JUST DIS soon let tnGIn run
rs years."
1t is a characteristic attitude for
members of the council to assume, and
it accounts for much of the financial
trouble the city is continually having.
Each city council is willing to be ex-
travagant if it can and shove the bur-
den far enough ahead to saddle it onto
some distant future administration.
This policy is what, in great measure,
has made the $4,000 bond issue neces-
sary.
Mayor Bergundthal said he would be
in favor of issuing the bonds for even
less than 20 years, trusting that when
they come due, the city would be able
to refund them for a lower rate. The
vote on the motion to change from 25
to 20 years was as follows:
Ayes-Kutz, Griley, Snyder, Weber,
Howe, Sinner.
Noes-Ryder. Wolf, Nellis, Tincher,
SWendsOn.
With this change the ordinance was
passed exactly as reported from the
ways and means committee. The ex-
act amount of the bond issue will be
79 bonds of 81, 900 each and one bond of
800. This issue will cover all the ex-
ira expenses of the flood, estimated at
