GROWTH OF RAILROADS
 IN THE UNITED STATES

The filing of $50, ,0O0, 900 mortgage in Salt Lake City by the Western Pa citic railroad is the prelude to the ex- tension to the Pacific of the Gould lines, which now terminate in Salt Lake City. With this line and the projected Northern Pacific route in Canada there will be eight trausconti- mental railways, six in this country.
 In 1850 there was not mile of rail road west of the Mississippi. Chicago and St. Louis, Cleveland and Buffalo, even Philadelphia and Pittsburg, were not yet connected by rail. The civil war was fought without one railway to the Pacific. Even in 1870 there was but one, the Central Pacific, beyond Kansas single thread across half the country. The next decade saw the completion of the Southern Pacific, and by 1890 the Northern Pacific and Great Northern had been pushed through the frowning mountains.
 The war taught us the political value of railroads; 1t was the first year of the struggle that the first grant of land was voted to the Union and Cen. tral Pacific companies.
 The government has often been criticized for it's generosity toward the far western lines, but short of govern ment ownership, which was in the early sixties plainly impossible, in no other way could railway lines so soon have been driven across trackless wilderness where the workmen fright ened great herds of buffalo from their staked-out lines and where now are populous and prosperous states.-New York World

THE EXCLUSION OF CHINESE
Probability That the Question Will
 be ReOpened In Congress

The short session of congress may
 see another Chinese exclusion law con
 test, says the Washington Post. Al
 present the government is operating
 under the Platt law of 1902. This act
 was passed after one of the most in
 teresting contests that has been wit messed in congress for some time, and after the house had passed and the senate committee had reported very drastic measure. Then the Connecti- cut senator came forward with sub stitute, not very long, but continuing in force the old laws with a few neces, sary changes, and 1t was accepted by both houses.
 But this law is to continue only so long as existing treaties are in force, and the present exclusion treaty with China will terminate December 8, 1904 if either the United States or China should give notice of termination any time before six months previous to that date. It does not appear yet whether such notice will be given, but if not, the treaty will remain in force another ten years from December s next.
 The exclusion law which is desgned d to carry out the treaty will then con tinue until superseded. At the time it was passed there was an intention on the part of the most intense anti Chinese members of congress to have a new law and new treaty at the termination of the present treaty with China. Some suggestion has been made that notice should be given within the prescribed limit, and a new treaty negot tiated. China wants some concessions in favor of students and merchants, and some Americans in terested in China think the privileges of Americans in China as to travel and trade should be enlarged
 The matter has been discussed in an unofficial way by American officials with Chinese officials in China, but not with a view to taking up the mat ter immediately. While dissatisfaction prevails on both sides, there is some inclination to allow the present treaty and law to continue rather than go through the throeS of further Chinese exclusion legislation.

CORMAN STILL THE LEADER
Election of Rayner Has Solidified the
 Party In Maryland

A special to the Washington Post
 from Anapolis, Md, says;
 The victory of Senatorelect Isdor
 Rayner is still the chief topic discussed
 here. All sorts of comments are heard
 as to Senator German $ position during
 the fight, and the effect it will have upon his presidential aspirations. One
 thing seems certain, and that is, that
 Mir. Rayner's election has solidified
 the party in Maryland, and that in
 Baltimore city it means an increased democratic vote of over 5000, It also makes it certain that legislation of a purely partisan nature can be se- cured, which would not have hHen possible had Mir. Rayner been de- feated.
 Delegate Robert Wesley Wells, of Hyattsville, Prince George county, the only representative from the five southern Maryland counties, who sup ported Mir. Rayner in the caucus, and who consistently pleaded for his cause through the strenuous period preceding MT. Rayner's nomination, was seen by a Post reporter here, and talked freely on the result of the senatorial con test.
 You can tell the Post readers that all this talk about Senator German ard Mir. Rayner being on the outs is tho Silliest sort of rot. There is nOth- ing in it, and the report was started and is being circulated by the same people who have always been fighting the senator and the great party of which he is the acknowledged and rightful leader. Senator German was never stronger in Maryland than he is today, and you can say for me that he has no better friend in the state than Mir Rayner. This will be amply demonstrated at St. Louis, when Mir. German will be placed in nomination for the presidency by MT. Rayper." At this point MT. Wells eyes sparkled, and strengthening himself to his full l length, which is not so very great after all, he exclaimed And my, but what a speech that will be!'
 MT. Wells is looked upon throughout the state as the leader of the young men in the legislature favorable to the eletion of MT. Rayner, and there is already heard frequent comments that he is the logical candidate for congress from the fifth congressional now represented by Sydney E. Mudd.

DISCOVERY OF COAL
 IN M0RENCl DISTRICT

What may prove one of the most Important discoveries in the history of Morenci camp was made Wednesday by John Molder, says the Standard. It IS promising vein of coal, located Just below the box in Silver Basin gulch.
 MT. Molder came on the blossom on the mountain side. Prospecting 1t with pick he quickly came into a body of coal that looks as if it would run int stuff of excellent quality with a little depth. From the bottom of a three-foot hole sack of coal was taken that later proved satisfactory Tor blacksmith uses On the vein. running almost east and west, the dis. coverer found a number of good look. ing surface showings.
 He has located several claims on the iead under the law governing coal lands and has interested money for development work on the vein. This work will be little more than two miles out from Morenci.

RoosEvELTs SPEECHES
Sent out with McCleary's Frank as
riatters Of Congressional Record.

New York, Aug. 9.-Secretary Cor
teiyou, Chairman of the Republican
National Committee, opened the literary
bureau at headquarters this morning.
It's first product was pamphlet OF thirty
pages, entitled "What Roosevelt Saws. !"
and containing extracts from the Presi-
dents message to Congress, his speeches
on various occasions, his "American
Ideals" and his "Strenuous Life".
There was nothing new in the pamphlet.
but it excited great deal of attention
for these reasons. First, because under
the title. "What Roosevelt Says" was
the first subject he had "From the Con.
gressional Record, and, secondly be-
cause the copy OF the pamphlet given
out was inclosed in a sealed official en-
velope OF the House OF Representatives,
bearing the frank Of Representative J.
F. McCleary.
The comment was made by the Demo-
Gratis at the Hoffman House that it was
singularly inappropriate to distribute in
this way pamphlet containing copious
extracts IRON american Ideals". It
was pointed out also, that, while the
pamphlet purported to contain extracts
from the Congressional Record, it was
made up chiefly Of speeches by the
President at Charleston, Cincinnati,
Minneapolis and other cities and quota
lions from his books. 1t is fact that
some things in the pamphlet were
printed in the Congressional Record,
but il is certain that other parts of the
pamphlet never had the right to be
printed in that journal.
Henry d. Clayton, the Democratic
National Committeeman from Alabama,
when asked what he thought of the act
Of the Republican National Committee
in sending out extracts from Roosevelt's
speeches and books under the frank of
Representative McCleary, of Minne-
sofa, said:
as seems that that pamphlet con-
tains what Mr.. MeCleary begged leave
to print, and not what was delivered on
the floor OF the House. You know you
can get anything in the Congressional
Record if you get leave to print -even
Rooseyelt's speeches and books. sup
pose that is the way the contents of this
pamphlet got in the Record. But it is
wrong to make these Roosevelt speeches
q partof the Record, because the Demo-
Gratis objected strongly, and Mr.. Nc
CIeary did not get the unanimous con-
sent required. We made fight against
keeping the Congressional Record open
after Congress adjourned. because we
knew the Republicans would work in
such campaign documents as this pam
phlet, but the Republicans had the
Public Printer with them, and did as
they pleased"
