IS. VERY CLEVER
SHIPPER DISCUSSES
THAT NEW YORK INTERVIEW.
Points Out Where Great Northern
Magnate Skates Gracefully Over Thin
Ice - Comparisons With European
Systems Declared to Be Short of the
Full Facts - Railroad Rates in Min
nesotas @-..

A prominent Minneapolis shipper
takes issue with James J. Hill 8
recently expressed views as reported
from New York. He intimates that in
skirting some Of the main points at issue
the Great Northern magnate is some
thing of a "Shifty Sadie.' He says:
"In Mr. Hill 8 recent New York city
interview he very adroitly stated one
side Of the transportation problem, but
apparently entirely overlooked some
very important items of information on
the other side of the question. He
compared the earnings in Europe with
those in the United States, showing that
the railroad earnings were much lower
in this country. He, however, failed to
state that while liberal estimate OF
the cost per mile Of American railroads
is $4,000 to 100000, the minimum cost
of European roads is at least $4,000
a mile. One of the British roads
having a. total mileage Of 403 miles cost
an average of $250,000 a mile. =.
ssMr. Hill goes on to show now much
more is paid out in wages in the United
States, but he fails to show that while
the average number Of men per mile
EMPLOYED in the United States is five,
receiving $2,625 a year, the average
number Der mile in the United Kingdom
is eighteen, receiving $4,000 year: In
Russia the average number employed per
mile is fifteen, with total wage OF
$4,000 a year. In Belgium 1t IS twenty
two, with wages Of $4,000 year. There
are in fact many reasons why railroads
| in the old country must charge much
higher rates for their services: The
haul is almost always short, as the
roads are small and they have no such
great stretches of lines as we have in
the United States. ~

ed in Printers Ink, paper devoted
especially TO advertising as an art.
Mr.. Clifford Sifton, the Canadian
Minister of the Interior, was the orig
inator of the system, and it has been
used by him primarily to attract set
tiers to the vacant lands of the North
west Territory of Canada-"vast fertile
plains lying north of the 49th parallel
and between Lake Superior and the
Rocky mountains" Until this territory
was advertised so extensively its ad-
vantages for settlement were unknown
except to very few of the Canadians
themselves. 1t was generally supposed
to be a barren and inhospitable re-
gion. Accordingly. Mr.. Sifton proceed
ed to organize d huge campaign" t.
advertise it to the world, and more es-
pecially to American farmers, as an
area which possessed the physical
foundation for an agricultural empire
unapproached both in richness and ex-
tent"
He established agencies in our West
ern states to give information in re-
gard to the region and exhibit its
products; advertised it in hundreds of
newspapers; published reports of the
prosperity of settlers already obtained;
organized parties to visit the lands, in
Guiding in them especially professors in
our agricultural colleges and employed
clever writers to describe the rolling
plains and their extraordinary fertil-
ity. Money, says our authority, was
spent judiciously, literally, by hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
The consequence was that the total
immigration to Canada, which in 1896
the year before Mr.. Sifton took office
had been only 1856, increased to 123,-
1854 last year. In 1896 only little over
100 immigrants came from the United
States; last year the American in
fiuX" was more than $4,000.
Meanwhile, local and municipal au-
thorities in the Canadian Northwest
Territory were stimulated to supple
ment Mr.. Sifton's huge campaign"
with vigorous advertising of their own,
with the result that villages speedily
grew into busy and prosperous towns.
This example of the value OF spe-
cial and extensive advertising as a
means of drawing settlers and trade
to a region or to particular communi-
ties has developed a new system of
advertising-''m municipal advertising"
as it is called-and our American
towns are finding their advantage in
pursuing it.
The question of the best means of
attracting settlers to the South is now
discussed earnestly in all those states.
Generally land even in the states of
greatest agricultural possibilities is
cheaper than in any other part of the
Union; yet in the exceedingly rich
state of Georgia, for example, the pop
ulation increased in the last ten years
at a less rate than even the average
birth rate of the Union. Might it not
be profitable for the South to give
careful study to the methods of ad-
vertising so successfully employed in
Canada?
Meantime, railroads have greatly en-
larged and improved their method of
advertising. The quantity of railroad
advertising in the daily papers, the
Printers Ink tells us, has Increased
fully tenfold since 1895. and instead
of the old time conventional announce
ments, the advertising has been made
readable and attractive.

WEYMAN HARMON WAS
PRESENTED A WATCH,

Brunswick Ga, Sept. 5-Just before
the ball game was called between
Brunswick and Waycross this after
noon, Weyman Harmon, the twirler
of Savannah, who broke his arm
pitching for the Brunswick Pilots Sat
urday afternoon, was presented
handsome, seventeen jewel gold watch
and a beautiful fob.
The watch and fob were given to
him by the people of Brunswick as
a token of the great work he did in
the game Friday and up to the time
that he met with the unfortunate &C
cident Saturday afternoon. The watch
and fob were the handsomest that
could be found i'm Brunswick. About
LOO people were present when he was
presented with the present, and he was
literally applauded.
The many friends of Mr.. Harmon
in all sections of the state will be glad
to learn that the physicians here an
nounce that the accident will not
necessarily keep him from pitching in
future, and they are of the opinion
that by next season the arm will be
as strong as ever. Mr.. Harmon states
to-day however, that he doubted Sc
riously if he would ever attempt to
pitch again, but will hereafter play
third base. He is now remaining in
Brunswick for several days, the guest
of the baseball fans generally.

THE CZAREVITCH NOT
A COMPLETE WRECK.

Tsingtau, Sept. 5, 4 p. ma cor
respondent of the Associated Press ac-
companied several Italian naval Of
ficers upon an inspection to-day OF
the dismantled Russian cruiser Care
witch, which was in the naval fight
with Admiral Togo's fleet off Port
Arthur on Aug. 10, after which she
sought refuge at this port, where she
was subsequently dismantled
At first sight the Czarevitch SEEM
ed a total wreck, but on further ex-
animation this appearance was found
TO be due to the immense quantity of
debris which had not been cleared
away
The general opinion Of those who
made a close inspection was that the
Czarevitch was far from incapacitated
and that she was capable Of infiicting
heavy damage upon the enemy had she
remained in the fight. She had plen-
~ of ammunition and coal on board
Her electrical steering gear was shot
away, but the hand and steam gears
were not damaged.
Russian naval officers when ques-
toned regarding the reported court
martial of Rear Admiral Prince Ouk-
tomsky for having disobeyed the or
der not to return to Port Arthur, said
that the last order he signalled in the
battle OF Aug. 10. was:
Remember the order of Emperor;
do not return to Port Arthur"

there was danger TO any of his credit
ors, but later made application to have
a receiver appointed for his properties.
This the court denied on technical
grounds and the contest for possession
of what may be saved out of the wreck
of his fortune is held in allegiance until
Sept. s, when he will have to answer
the petition for a decree of involuntary
bankruptcy.
So serious is the situation that Car
dinal Gibbons. who is Archbishop of
Baltimore, has called the clergy of
his diocese to meet him in conference
to discuss the affairs of the university.
The cardinal has expressed a willing
ness to sacrifice his own fortune to
aid in saving the university, and has
strongly urged the same course upon
other clergymen. st. Patrick's Church
in this city has nearly $4,000 involved,
and other churches have similar sums.
The visitation convent at Georgetown,
the Oldest female institution of learn
ing in the country. faces a probable
loss of S150,000, and other institutions
have smaller sums at stake. The
Catholic University of America, the
by the Church in America and the
especial pride of the higher authori-
ties in Rome, is Mr.. Waggaman's
largest creditor. 1t has nearly $780,.
900 at stake, and Mr. Waggaman's
bond as treasurer is for only $4,000.
This represents the endowment of the
university, which was supposed to be
invested beyond the possibilities of
loss.
The bankruptcy proceedings threat
en-, however, to demolish the universe
tvs claim to rights as a preferred
creditor and to force it to share on an
equal basis with other creditors. This
condition not only threatens the exist
ence of the institution, but is almost
certain to prejudice its standing before
the authorities here and in Rome.
The amount of Mr.. Waggaman's debt
to the university is made up of sums
given by rich Catholics to found
chairs, fellowships and scholarships.
Among the heaviest contributors were
the Misses DreXel of Philadelphia, Eu-
gene Kelly of New York, Patrick
Quinn of Philadelphia, and numerous
other individuals, as we'll as the
principal Catholic societies.
All of these sums were given to Mr.
Waggaman TO invest, and he regularly
paid the university per cent. a year
on the amount he held in trust Since
the difficulty arose leading clergymen
and Catholics have admitted that they
knew, by his paying 6 per cent. yearly,
that Mr. Waggaman was using the
funds for speculation. 1t is this knowl-
edge which causes a feeling of great
uneasiness among the American
hierarchy, which can hardly escape a
sweeping censure from Rome for per-
hitting church funds to become in
volved in speculation.

WAS SURE THE COUNT
WOULD RESCUE HER.
what the Ascending Princess OF
Coburg Says.

What the Ascending Princess OF
COburg Says.
Vienna, Sept. 5.-A lawyer, who is
in the confidence of Lieut.. Count Mat
tasich- Keglevich, and who has Just
returned from visiting the Princess
Louise of Coburg. declines to reveal
the whereabouts of the Princess. He
gives a statement which he said she
made to him, according to which.
throughout her fmmurement she ex-
pected to be rescued by the Count.
The Princess said:
Now, happily. I am free, and shall
use my liberty so that l can remain
free. My next important task will
be to take legal steps to have my
guardianship set aside. I shall ask
the Austria court chamberlains de-
partment to grant me a new medical
examination, and / can bring fifty wit
nesses to prove my sanity Having
established that, I shall retire to live
quietly. l am not thinking of divorce
or of re-marriage, and the reports of
such intentions are canards spread
for the purpose of injuring me-"
The lawyer said that the Princess
made this statement in the presence
of Lieut.. Count Mattasich-K eglevich,
adding that the friendship between the
Count and the Princess had always
been idealistic. He said she could
scarcely return to her husband. but
would fight any efforts which might
be made to compel her to return to
an asylum

RUSSIA NOT WILLING
TO TREAT FOR PEACE.

London, Sept. 5.-Careful inquiries in
Official and diplomatic quarters here
to-day establish the fact that no hope
prevails of the termination of the war
at this moment as a result OF the ser
ries of victories obtained by the Jap
anese at Lao Yang. There has been
no interchange of official views by
the neutral European governments.
What discussion has occurred has been
entirely personal and has led to no re-
suits. Russia, it is stated emphatical-
ly, does not find the moment opportune
to accept the good offices of any pow
er. Japan, on the other hand, is
known to be less Disconnected with the
present situation and would be willing
10 enter upon peace negotiations If
Russia could be induced to do so.
