New Railway Plan as 1t Is Under
stood at Norfolk.


Norfolk, Va, April 1S.-Persons in a
position to know say that the purchase
of the Norfolk and Southern Railroad
tracks and properties by the Pittsburg,
Pa, interests, controlling the Chesa-
peake Transit Company's electric lire
from Norfolk to Cape Henry and Vir-
ginia Beach, means that the Norfolk
and Southern, heretofore controlled by
the Vanderbilt interest has been Sc
cured by George Gould, president of
the Wabash system of railways, giving
the Wabash an outlet at Lynn Haven
Inlet.
The officers of the Norfolk and South
ern Railroad were summoned from
Norfolk to New York last week. and
40 meeting was held in that city Fri
day, at which Norfolk and Southern,
with its property in Eastern Virginia
and North Carolina, passed into con-
troll of Flint, Bacon & CO., and the
Continental Trust Company, of Pitts
burg, who are Said to be the direct
representatives of George j. Gould in
this transaction.

road, which has trackage of 149
miles, the Gould, or Wabash interest.

way, which is owned principally by
Pennsylvania Railway interests. The
Goulds control the Tide Water Rail-
way Company, which has a charter to
come to Tide Water from West Vir-

to come in back of Portsmouth on the

IN THE FAR EAST.

Russians accept the fact that
their Port Arthur fleet is now inn
potent and that the Japanese
transports, conveyed by the Japan
ese warships, are at liberty to at
tempt the landing Of troops almost
anywhere along the coast. Specu-
lation is rife as to the next move
that will be made by the active
enemy.
Russia is building fourteen sub
marine boats to be sent to the
scene of war and employed against
the Japanese fleets. The first of
these boats has been shipped in
sections by railway.

passed is said to be resuming its

St. Petersburg, April 1S.-St. Peters
burg is flooded with rumors from all
directions regarding the plan of the
Japanese, now that the Russian fleet
at Port Arthur is unable longer TO
menace their troops or transports.
The Associated Press in dispatch
from Port Arthur Sunday last, gave
twenty as the number of the Japanese
transports reported sighted steaming
in the direction of Yin Kow Officials
of the general staff, while having no
information in this respect, would not
be surprised if the number should turn
out to be correct, or even that larger
number is steaming there.
They anticipated this movement at
the time of the breaking out of the
war. but the activity of Admiral Max
aroff's feet and the large army in the
vicinity of New Chwang imposed eau
ton, and 1t Is believed, made the Ja~
panese abandon, or at least postpone
IT, and caused them to continue their
advance towards Manchuria through
Korea and consider Decentralization
and flank movements at Takushan.
Admiral Togos superiority of
strength enables him to hold the Rus
sian squadron in Port Arthur, and the
Japanese transports therefore, can
safely pass through the straits of Pc
Chi Ii and land, as did Skaters army

A Reuter- telegram from Turin an
nounces the death Of General Ottolenghi,
formerly minister of war and command
er of the First army corps. General Ot-
tolenghi throughout his distinguished
career remained an observant Jew and
identified himself with his coreligionists
in Italy. Another distinguished men,
Der of that body has also attained cab
met rank, Signor Luzzatti, who on sew
eral occasions has held the portfolio Of
minister of finance, and to him is largely
attributed the improved economic situa-
ton which has taken place during the
last few years in the Italian kingdom.
The Union Of German Jews recently
sent memorandum to the minister of
commerce and to number Of distin-
guished parliamentarians regarding the
prohibition of the Shechita by local au-
thorities The union claims that She
chita is an important institution Of the
Jewish religion and that any repressive
measures would be an attack on the lib
erty Of conscience. 1t is interesting to
note, in view Of the pending Shechita
question in England, that, with very few
exceptions, this is regarded as an un-
doubtedly unimpeachable point in the
Jewish case. Even the leading organ of
the Catholic party, the Germania, Of
Berlin, which is generally not over
friendly to the Jews says that from the
standpoint of religious freedom, it must
oppose the intended prohibition or re-
striction of Shechita. Since the Cath
olic party is one of the ruling sections
in the Prussian Diet, there will probably
be no fear of anti-Shechita legislation.
The "Jewish Board Of Government
Of Berlin has called upon the govern
ment to take proceedings against Count
Pueckler. The immediate cause for this
action was afforded by the publication
Of one Of the counts speeches, in which
his instigations to pillage, violence and
murder have taken concrete form.
The board has also taken action in an
other matter which may be of even
greater Importance. The church or syn
agogue rate is obligatory in Prussia on
all persons who have not made declara-
ton that they stand outside every relig-
ious community. But hundreds Of
Jews, who have no desire to be consid-
cred as standing outside the pale Of the
Jewish community, settle in Berlin with
out apprising the board Of that fact
Thus, they shirk the payment Of their
contributions, which the community has
a right to levy. The president Of police

Railroad Yard Men Find Source
of Much Trouble.
They Had Long Been Annoyed BY
Cars Going Out With Cards
Torn on.
PRACTICE WILL BE STOPPED

A matter which had for a long
time been mystifying the local yard
force of the l. c. has been cleared up
by a bicyclist.
For many weeks cars which were
set out on the yard tracks oarded and
ready to so out. were taken away
from the city with no billing to show
where they went The railroad COM
pany has force of carders whose
duty it is 10 tack cards giving the
destination of each car. on cars, and
OF course when these small paste
board cards are not on the cars. it is
Impossible to tell where they go,
which has caused no end of cores
pondence in the yard department,
when cars were taken to the wrong
place.
The yard force here was accused
of failing to see that the cars were
properly carded, while the carders
declared they had tackled the cards
on properly.
Yesterday when the bicyclist pass
ed along this track. there were sew
eral cars of logs waiting to be switch
ed into a train and two small negro
girls. about and years of age, en-
route to school. we're amusing them
selves by pulling the cards on Of
each car as they came to it. They
had a collection Of cards of many
colors taken from cars billed all the
way from Mayfeld and Dyersburg to
Memphis and jackson, Miss. Had
this not been discovered in time, the
cars would have been taken out and
the conductor gotten into a pretty
tangle.
IL seems cards have been missing
daily from trains and it is now all
attributed TO the action of children.
Probably they have been pulling OF
the cards since school opened, but
il they attempt it again they will
probably find a special detective not
far away.
