position management is in hearty ac-
cord with this movement on the part
Of the Federation to induce the large
manufacturers and other employers Of
labor to provide ways and means for
the wage earners of America to visit

displaying personal interest in the I'M

every facility for the contamination Of
its efforts. and in this connection he
has directed Theodore Hardee, assist
ant to the secretary, to cooperate with
Miss Beeks and Ralph M. Easley,

equipped this bureau with clerical as

used as headquarters for all wage earn
ers coming to- the Exposition under its
auspices. The aim of the Federation is
to make it feasible for the largest pos
sible proportion Of wage earners to Wis

pot by responsible persons and con-
Quoted to suitable lodgings, where they (
will be treated fairly.
There will also be furnished, free of

TEAS THAT ARE
WORTH FORTUNES
Twelve Hundred Kinds Are In China s
Show at the Worlds Fair---The Most
POpulOus Nation of the World For
the First Time Makes an Exhibit
Worthy of Her Greatness.

Many expositions of stupendous char
acter make up the Worlds Fair of
1904. Each part is vast and distinct
show. Each building shelters many
acres of wonderful wonderful
because they are the choicest of their
kind. Every nation on the globe is
represented. Every state and territory
is here with its best and making the
most of its greatest opportunity.
The fact. that China has not been
large exhibitor at worlds fairs gives
to her great exhibit here prominence
quite exceptional. 1t is a wonderland
Of ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason Of her extensive
exports of teas, which have found
vast market in the United States for
generations. Her commercial interests
therefore prompted her to make dis
play of teas that we should not for
get.
In sealed glass jars China displays in
the Liberal Arts Palace some 1900
kinds of tea.;. Young Hyson and Old
Hyson have string of tea relations
longer than the genealogical chain of
Plymouth Rock. They are neatly Sc
lected "chops," in the language of the
tea farmer, and these classes do not
embrace medicinal teas, which are
quite another lot in the rather modest
number of 400.
The teas exhibited vary in price from
a few cents a pound to some rare and
exclusive kinds that are worth their
weight in gold, the tea in the latter
cases being placed on one side Of the
scales and pure gold on the other
that is to say, the tea Of this expensive
Kind is worth about $40 gold an ounce.
Only very small quantity of this ex-
elusive leaf is exhibited, and it Is
grown in carefully guarded tea planta-
tons or gardens right under the shad-
ows of the great wall of China. Its cul-
,tivation is prohibited for any use save
for the imperial family Of China and a
few Of the favored high officials.
Mention has been made Of the word
"chop" In connection with tea, and it
may be interesting to the everyday
reader to know what the word actually
signifies. Ii TEA leaf is grown in va
rious districts Of tn. Chinese empire on

Asks More Questions in Anthracite
Cases.
Philadelphia, Sept S.-Judge Gray,
who was chairman of the anthracite
coal commission, yesterday as umpire
heard argument by the members of
the board of Cancellation on the ques-
ton of the right of the operators to
collect money from employees with
which to pay check weighmen and
docking bosses, unless legal assign
ment of the amount is made by the
employees.
During Mr.. WARMERS presentation
of the operators position Judge Gray
interrupted several times with interro-
cations. The judge desired to know
whether the operators collected from
the miners wages to pay anyone else
connected with the mines. Judge Gray
cited as an example the physicians and
blacksmiths. Mr.. Warriner contended
that the pay of the doctor was collect
ed by the operators on an assignment
made by the miners, and that they
also collected when requested by legal
assignment payment for clergymen.
The miners insisted that their pay was
collected without an assignment and
whether the miners had made use of
the blacksmith or not.
Judge Gray did not announce when
a decision will be rendered.

FOR NEW RAILROAD
TACOMA TIDE LAND PURCHASES
EXPLAINED.
l.. II. Manning. Buying and Secur-
ing Options for j. T.. Woodward,
New York Banker, Admits That
New TranscOntinental Line to
Sound Is Planned.

Tacoma, Sept. 81. r. Manning,
who for several months past has been
securing options on and purchasing
tide fiat property for John Woodward,
a New York banker, announces that
another transcontinetal railroad is
heading towards Puget sound. Mr..
Manning has filed with the state land
commissioner plans and specifications
for the improvement of the harbor
front property directly in front of the
tide fiat acreage purchased by him for
Woodward. When asked the direct
question if the improvements contem-
plated were for terminals for a rail-
road, Mr.. Manning replied they were.
Asked if it were transcontinental
railroad, Mr.. Manning replied he did
not care to make definite statement,
but it was nonsense to suppose that a
branch road or short line feeder for
Tacoma would secure such elaborate
terminal grounds. All told Mr.. Man
ming has pure hased 81 acres for Wood
ward. This strip lies on the east side
of Puyallup river, where it crosses the
tide flats. Mr.. Manning has lately
been securing options on tide fiat prop
erty adjacent to that already purchas-
ed, and, in fact, has refused no op-
tions that can be obtained on property
in that vicinity. The plans for the
improvement provide for the dredging
of two large deepwater slips, which
will be approximately 200 feet wide
at the bottom. There will be four
ocean docks with railroads running
alongside. The improvements also
provide for the erection of four large
ocean warehouses. similar to the ORR
entail warehouses erected by the North
ern Pacific. The railroads will find
egress from the docks up Hongkong
and Yokohama streets and Sitkum
avenue. These parallel the Puayllup
river, and how far the railroads will
follow up the river is not known. At
any rate it will be necessary for the
new road to cross the Northern Pacific
at some point on the reservation unless
it turns abruptly in the direction of
Seattle, following the course of the
Interurban Mr.. Manning has secured
81 years lease for his principal on
the 6OO-foot tract of harbor front on
which the improvements will be
made. The SPECIFICATIONS show that
the Improvements will be of the most
permanent character. Railroad men
here are not slow in connecting the
announcement of the Tacoma Eastern
railroad of it's intention to build
through the Mineral creek, Pleasant
valley, Cowlitz valley and Big Bottom
countries in the direction of Cowlitz
pass with the announcement of Mr..
Manning's intention to begin the i'm
provements mentioned on the tide flats.
