Quotation from Report.

Quotation is made by the commissioner from the report of the Peruvian corpora ton, the London company, which assumed the foreign debt of Peru. and took over the state railways under a lease for 65 years. The net receipts in 1908 were $,- 0OO,000 and in November the shares which at one time were quoted at 36, had ad- vanced to S7.
 favorable opinion Is expressed con corning the progressive railway policy of Brazil. The ownership of the systems is partly national and partly European. Ten thousand miles of railroads. consist ing of three great groups, are now in operation.

MARX CONFESSES

 Years Ago.
SOME MYSTERIES

Chicago, March 13.-Gustave Marx der sentence of death, declared in con- fession made today that he was one of the three men who held up the Chicago and Northwestern express train at Tower w" near Dekalb, four years ago. The crime, which has passed Into history. was one of the most desperate ever com mitted in or about Chicago. has never been fastened upon any one of the many suspects arrested, and the Identity of the bandits has remained a mystery to the police until now.
 Marx says both of his confederates in the crime are dead and refuses to give their names. One of them, he declares, "died with his boots on" The railway authorities admitted a loss of s12,000 by the robbery. Marx says the robbers se- cured only ss,0o0, the rest of the money having been destroyed by the explosion of dynamite used to crack the safe. In a sort of footnote to this startling comics sion, Marx admits the killing of five men in his career of crime.
 Has Killed Five Persons.
 Besides Ben Johnson killed at the barns, Detective Quinn, killed at the time of my arrest and Otto Barder whom Roeski Is generally supposed to have killed, have killed two other men," said Marx. Flight years ago Neidermier went to Jaresvlle. Wis, to rob a train. and hid our dynamite alongside the track. A train walker or railway detective, I have never learned which. came upon us and asked what we were doing there. I shot him and we threw his body into the Rock river. The other man whom I killed I had done criminal work with In Michigan. met him at Camp Goldfeld, Colo, when Neidermier and I were there last fall. He knew too much about me, and killed him and left his body lying in the suburbs of the camp. Both these crimes can be verified by the police"

Is to be applied to railroad construction.
 Tn Peru, significance is given to the railway movement now in progress and to the $10OOO,O00 investment of United States syndicate in the copper mines of Zorro de Pasca, and in collateral rail- way enterprises. Two general routes are indicated. One Is toward Cuzco and the other towards the Amazon. The first will insure ultimate through railway travel to Lima and Buenos Ayres, while the second, in time, will enable the distant Peruvian port of Iquiques, on the Anna zon, to be reached by means of railways and water navigation.

Great Progress In Mexico.

In reviewing the republics visited, Com missioner Pepper discusses the great pro- gress in Mexico and the actual railway work that is still going on. Only 172 miles are lacking to reach the border of Gaute- mala. Reference also is made to the in- ter-oceanic lines from the Gulf of Mex leo to the Pacific, and 1t Is stated that within two years two trunk systems will be completed. President Diaz Is praised for the results which have been had from the railway policy adopted quarter or A century ago. Mexico has now 97OO miles of railways, excluding electrical traction and similar tramways, against S5 miles in 1873.
 Regarding the Central American repub- lies, the commissioner says that most or them have national policies for building inter-oceanic lines to bring their Atlantic and Pacific ports into communication, and these will serve as feeders for the Pan- American route.
 In Guatemala the extension of the Gen. tral railroad in November, 1903, has left only thirty miles open from the capital to Ayutla, on the northern border, and this section 1t Is expected will be built within inc near future. In describing the pros- pects in Nicaragua, Commissioner Pepper calls attention to the action of the gov ernment In reviving former projects for a railroad route through to the Atlantic as soon as 1t was definitely settled that the canal was to be built across Panama, in- stead of Nicaragua. Engineers are mak- ing the survey for what Is known as the Atlantic route.

condltlon in Costa Rlca.

In Cosa Rica, only fifteen miles are now lacking of through route from the Pacific to the Atlantic. variation Is suggested of the inter-continental loca- lion from the Pacific to the Atlantic slope.
 In South America Commissioner Pep per gives significance to the treaty under which the Argentine republic is extend- ing it's northern lines, not only to the frontier of Bolivia, but beyond as far as Tupza. This treaty, he suggests may be a precedent for other international agreements of a similar character.
 The commissioner also discusses the Argentine railway systems, and the na- tional policy which has been very sue cessful He refers to the fusion of lines which are owned by English capital. This identity of interests, and the large crops he thinks were the cause of the advance in the Argentine shares in London. The big crops are continuing and the railway, he declares, is of worldwide interest The Argentine system consists of 1i,S60 miles. The net earnings on the total capitl, which is S5S9, 100000, were 3n per cent last year.

POSTOFFICE WILL
 STILL BE THEME House Members Eager to go
 on Record. POLICY IS TO BE LIBERAL In the Senate the Confirmation of General Wood Will Again
 be Taken Up This
 Week.
POLICY IS TO BE LIBERAL

Washington, March 1S-An extended period of personal explanation undoubt- edly will occur during the consideration of the postoffice appropriation bill. which will be called up Monday by Chairman Overstreet Monday rightfully belongs to the District of Columbia, but there are few local matters on the calendar and MT. Babcock will abdieate in favor of the postofflce bill.
 The necessity which many members of the house feel to have the congressional record contain statemer ts in explanation of their alleged misconduct with the post office department in regard to clerk hire, allowances and rent of postoffice quar- ters, has led the managers of the house to adopt a most liberal policy with ref erence to general debate on the post office bill.
 When these statements are all out of the way the bill will be disposed of and not before

SENATE FORECAST.

Washington, March 13.-The senate to- morrow will continue consideration of the Notifications bill. and when that meas ure shall be disposed of will return to the nomination of General Leonard Wood. The committee on military af- fairs have recommended an amendment to the Notifications bill authorizing the purchase of a torpedo boat of the Pro tector" type for experimental purposes at a cost of s250 900, and as several senators have indicated opposition to the provis- ions, 1t is expected that 1t will be debated at some length. Other features also will receive more or less attention.
 There are still several speeches to be made on the Wood case, but Senator For aker, who Is in charge of the nomina- tion hopes to conclude it's consideration during the week He will make the clos Ing speech in support of General Woods confirmation. The District of Columbia and Indian appropriation bills probably will be reported during the week, and will be promptly taken up for action. If op- portunity Is given, the bill asking for an additional department building, as a home for the department of state, justice and commerce and labor, will be consid- cred, and Senator Hoybunn has given mo- tice that on Wednesday he will call up the pure food bill

Enqineer Will Visit Europe.

An engineer has been designated to visit Europe and the United States in order to give information to prospective bidders.
 The report calls attention to the esti- mates and recommendations of the execu- tive recently submitted to the Chilean con gross for appropriations of $93.00o 000 gold. for public works during the next fifteen years. One-half of this amount Is to be spent on railways, the greater proportion being for the longitudinal line, which will place Santiago in through communication with the nitrate port of Iquique, and the northern provinces.
 Much significance is placed by Commis- sioner Pepper on the payment of s10,000,000 which Bolivia receives from Brazil as an Indemnity for the Acre tract and which

Pepper Makes Report on Pan-
 American Railroad
WILL BE INTERNATIONAL
Plan is to Have a Line Which Will Give Through Rail Route from New York to
 Buenos Ayres.

Washington, March 13.-Charles M. Pepper, appointed by President Roose- welt as commissioner to carry out the recommendations of the second interna- tional American conference, held in Mex
 leo two years ago, with regards to the Pan-American railway. has submitted his report to the state department, by which 1t will be transmitted to congress. The second conference created a permanent committee with headquarters In Wash ington, of which ex-Senator H. C. Davis Is chairman, and Andrew Carnegie Is member. The other members are the ambassador from Mexico, and the minis ters from Peru and Guatemala.
 Commissioner Pepper spent a year in visiting the various countries and was aided in his work by the United States ministers. His inquiries covered the gen eral subject of trade opportunities that would result from railroad building, as well as actual railway construction.
 The report says that the general pros pect of an international line, which ulti- mately will place New York and Buenos Ayres in through railway communication, Is receiving much encouragement. At the present time about 4S00 miles are lack ing, and the estimated cost of construc- ton is based at Sl5O,0O0.0O0. This Is based on an average of 50 cents gold, as daily wage for labor. with an efficiency of 75 cents as compared with similar la bor in the United States. Commissioner Pepper gives five specific causes which have contributed to advance the inter continental project, as well as railroad building in general Some of the devel- epments have taken place since the be- ginning of the present year, The en- couraging causes as specified in the re- port are:
