Corpus Christi News.
From Corpus Crony.

FROM corpus irony
Headquarters of the traffic de-
parc1nent of the ST. Louis, Browns
vile & Mexico railway company
have finally been established II
Corpus Christi. General Passenger
Agent VIM. Doherty and Freight
Traffic Manager II. w. Adams,
with their Chief Cleark ]. H.
King, are located in airy rooms in
the Hatch building. Mr.. Doherty
is another sample of the first class
material the new road is associat-
ing with its destiny. He sizes up
very pleasingly as to personality
and his record is a guarantee of
his professional efficiency. Mr..
Doherty will move his family here
from Houston just as soon as he
finds suitable residence.
Chief Engineer F. G. Jonah of
the Fountain Route came home
last night from St. Louis and has
lots to tell about the Pike and other
features at the Worlds Fair but not
a word about the result of meeting
of railway magnates. B. F. Yoa-
kun, Col. Fordyce, Johnston Bros,
Frank P. Read, Capt. Hinckley,
Mr.. Jonah and others were in con-
sultation at St. Louis last month.
1t was expected that on the 28th a
contract would be made for the
construction of the proposed road
from Sinton to Columbia. But
nothing seems to have been ac-
complished and all parties to the
conference are as clamlike as IS
Mr.. Jonah. There are numerous
straws blowing around headquart-
ers here, however, that indicate
there is to be a cessation of con-
struction work as soon as the Har-
lingen branch is completed.
F. J. Mulligan who has been in
charge of one of the commissary
outfits at the front during the build
ing of the St. Louis, Brownsville
& Mexico railway, came to cool
Corpus Christi from Harrington this
week with a trophy of the brush
that is STARTER. 1t is the beauti-
fully tanned skin of a monster
rattle snake. Itmeasures nine feet
four and one-half inches in length,
has a greatest width of thirteen
inches and there are twenty-five
rattles. The skin was exhibited
in a hotel Office and it was the
wonder of all who saw it. The ex-
pert treatment of the skin had
made it silky in its softness and
not single scale seemed marred.

CAMP GOOD WILL.
Summer Outing Home for Invalid
Children Opened for Inspection.

Camp Good WILL" in Rock Creek Park.
the summer outing home for poor and
sickly children overworked mothers and
convalescents, was opened May 80 for pub
lie inspection. On that day about 800 of
the representative people of the city visited
and inspected the place and returned to
their homes so very enthusiastic about the
beautiful outing which was coming to the
poorer children of Washington that the
committee has been very busy since that
time carrying out the numerous sugges-
tons which were made. The camp Is now
ready for a few of its Intended guests. The
house with It's ten rooms will accommodate
about ten or fifteen children. besides the
administrative force; the barn, which has
been changed TO a plac, Of abode, will take
care Of a few more, end the accommoda-
tons will be complete when the tents and

schools of the city hope to provide, are put
in place.

into wrapping paper OF various grades. The
mill site is the river I1ffey. about
twenty-five miles from Dublin, near the
eastern margin of the great bog OF Allen.
which extends westward about seventy
miles to the river Shannon. The motive
power Is both steam and water. Only the
energy of the river generates a certain vol
ume of electric force sufficient for present
needs. About seventy hands are now
steadily employed in this new enterprise.
The process of converting the peat into
paper is wonderful metamorphosis. Carts
are engaged hauling the raw peat from the
bog where 1t Is dug direct to the mill. Then
begin the various processes OF cooking with
the necessary chemicals until II becomes
reduced to the condition of pulp required,
after which the methods followed are very
similar to those of the ordinary paper mill.
1t Is somewhat of a singular sight to- see
the black peat fresh from the bog thrown
into the mill at one end and follow 1t to
the other end, where 1t energies as paper.
1t is claimed for the new industry. this lat
est discovery. that 1t will prove an opulent
mine of wealth among the Irish people.
Certainly the raw material is at hand in
great abundance in the ample bog lands of
the island. And certainly the conversion of
peat into paper a profitable practical
business is more than little startling But
1t is said that several of the Dublin whole
sale paper houses are back of the enter
prise and that its success Is substantially
assured.

PAPER FROM PEAT.
Another Use Found for Common
Swamp Product in Ireland.

From the Boston Transcript.
Peat has hitherto been used chiefly as
fuel; sometimes in a dry, pulverized condi-
ton. as litter for stables and stockyards.
During and since the coal famine of year
ago many schemes were suggested by which
it may be utilized to serve as an excellent
substitute for anthracite and bituminous
coal. Edward Atkinson, as result of his
investigation into the matter has claimed
that we possess vast store of riches in the
swamps and peat areas of New England
and other sections of the country, and that
we can become practically independent of
the coal barons and their working legions
whenever we see fit by a verys simple and
inexpensive process to convert the swamp
mud around us into first-class fuel.
But now another use. and a most ex
traordinary one, has been found for IT. by
certain experimenters in Ireland 1t makes
an excellent quality of paper. A treat mill.
LOO feet. of four stories. equipped with
machinery, was established few months
ago at Celbridge. County Kildare. which
has been engaged in converting Irish peat

MAY DASH OUT OF PORT.
Tokyo Believes Russian Fleet May
Initiate Cervera-

A cabiegram from Tokyo last night says:
Considering the frequent sounds Of explo-
sions at Port Arthur and the attempts OF
the Russians to clear away the mines. 1t Is
believed in Japan that the Russian
squadron intends to emerge at the crucial
moment and fight for Its life.
Japanese correspondents with the first
army report that the Russian operations
have been limited to a series of skirmfshes
fought by the CosSacks and mounted IN
fantry, which accomplished nothing except
to keep the Japanese outposts busy About
600 men, with several light guns, engaged
in these operations in the districts of Al:
yang Saimatse, seek to menace japanese
provision trains, but these efforts have been
without result. 1t is noticed that small
accommodating parties, consisting of ono
young officer and two three soldiers,
boldly penetrate the japanese lines, and. IL
discovered, fight with pistols. recalling the
methods of the Formosan insurgents.
Conflicting Reports. '
1t may be remarked that the latest Rus
sian accounts Of skirmishes near Feng-
wang-cheng and Wa-fang-kau conflict fat
ly with the Japanese official reports, which
claim that the Russians were driven back.
The Russians in northeast Korea have
checked their southern advance on Gensan
and seem to be striking westward. Their
advanced force does not exceed a few hun
bred, but since 1t relies wholly on local sup
plies 1t Is independent of it's eommunica-
lions and therefore difficult to deal with
strategically. The Cossacks burn Korean
dwellings and kill local officials who fail to
display active friendship
Fishing concessions on the coasts of two
northwestern Korean provinces have been
finally granted to the Japanese
Gear Confides in Kuropatkin.
A cablegram from Paris last night says:
A ST. Petersburg dispatch quotes a general
officer Of the Russian navy as follows:
Two days ago there was in the encourage

roy AleXieff and partisans of Kuropatkin,
q fierce battle. Incredible efforts were made
to induce his majesty to send orders to
Kuropatkin to advance and relieve Port

check for the commander-in-chief to upset
the decisions he has taken and would have

no longer able to change. The good sense
of the emperor triumphed over intrigues,
