The Street Railway.

All is quiet along the line of
the street railway these nights,
and in the days as we'll. The adj
vertiSement for ties. which the
company is running and the lack
of which is presumably causing
the cessation of work, is still
appearing in the local press and
they are otherwise negotiating
for ties. But work has stopped
all the same and the iron is lay
ing along Main street very much
in the way of residents who live
in that section.
About two squares of track
have been laid. Beginning at
the Southern depot the line is
com pleted as far west as Capt.
ID. ID. Stevenson home. 1t is
laid a few feet south of the center
of the street. showing that it is
the intention of the company to
double track this thoroughfare if
all of their plans materialize.
Just exactly what is causing the
delay now it is impossible to say.
The company has complied
with their part of their contract
which required that they begin
work by Christmas of 1904.
w ork apparently in goo d
faith was begun at that time but
after two blocks of the line was
laid the work was stopped. In
order to save their forfeit of one
thousand dollars it will be neceS-
sary for them to complete and
operate not less than three miles
of track by next Christmas and
it is this feature of their under
taking which interests the pub
lie. Work will have to be resum-
ed before very long and provis-
ion made to operate this amount
of line if it is intended to com
plete it before the end of another
year. Even should the car line
company make arrangements
with the local light plant for pow
er it will require some time for
the latter comp any to install the
machinery necessary for this
task.
Every one is hoping that the
car line will be built, and while
the company owning the fran
chise are not taking the public
into confidence relative to-
their affairs it is belived that they
are endeavoring to put their
undertaking through.

run will be made from cotton
which was actually grown on the
ground where the mill now
stands. The site for the enter
prise was donated by Mr.. John
S. Robertson and a crop of cot
ton was raised thereon this year.
This cotton was sold by Mr..
Robertson to the knitting mill
people and will be the first to be
woven into yarn and Will then be
manufactured into underwear.
The Kavanaugh Mill is one of
the largest of its kind in the
country and its erection here
marks new era in the progress
of Colum bus. 1t is a well known
fact that the cotton mills of the
East are nearly all seeking
Sou thern locations, and the fact
that this large enterprise has
been esta blished here will at
tract attention in manufacturing
circles everywhere. There is
no good reason why we should
not have at least a dozen mills
for the manu- facture of various
kinds of cotton goods, and THE
DISPATCH hopes and believes
that we will have that many in
the course of very few years.

To Start Up Soon.

The work of installing the
machinery in the Kavanaugh
Knitting Mill, which was recent
ly moved here from COhOes. n.
Y, has been practically complet-
ed and the mill will begin opera
tons at very early date. The
mill is constructed according to
the latest and most approved
methods and instead of having a
smoke stack will be equipped
with a patent post draft appar-
atus. This apparatus has been
shipped but has not yet reached
Columbus and it's non arrival
has Oeen one thing that has de-
layed the starting up Of the mill.
Another thing that has been in
strumental indelaying this event
is the fact that the extension of
the city water mains to the plant
has not been completed. A
large force has been at work
laying a six inch main on South
Fifth avenue but bad weather
has materially retardC d the work
and it is not vet finished. If
the weather breaks, however,
the water connection will be
made tomorrow Or the next day,
and as soon as the post draft ap-
paratus arrives every thing will
be ia readiness to turn on steam
AID formerly launch one of the
largest manufacturing enter
prises ever established in Co

When the mill is in full oper-
alton it will employ about 200
operatives and will turn out 800
dozen complete suits of under
wear daily. At first, however,
only com paratlvely small mum
Der of hands will be employed
and the mum Der will be gradu-
ally increased until the full ca
pacity of the mill is reached.
The machinery has been install
ed under the pers NAL supervis
ion and direction of Mr.. John
McGinness, an experienced and
completed mill man, who has
had charge of some of the largest
concerns of this character in the
East. Mr.. McGinness will re

the water connection is made
and all the machinery arrives
before he gets here the starting
up of the mill will not be post
poned on account of his non ar
rival. The sooner the mill starts
up the sooner the stockholders
will begin to make money, and |

ISLAND OF SAKHALiN OFF,
CiALLY REPORTED.
NEWS sTaaTLEs ST. PETERSBURG
GARRISON ON THE ISLAND TOO
WEAK TO OFFER AN EFFEc-
TIVE DEFENSE.

st. Petersburg, July 1O.-A landing
of Japanese troops on the island of
Sakhalin has been officially reported
and startled military circles in st. Pc
tersburg, though it has been realized
since the defeat of Admiral Rojestven-
sky that the Japanese were able to
take possession of the island as soon
as they thought fit The strength of
the landing force cannot be ascertain
ed, but the garrison of the island is
too weak to offer an effective defense.
Though the Japanese seem unwill-
ing to risk a general battle with Gen.
eral Lineyitch pending the peace meet
ing at Washington the landing of
troops at Sakhalin is considered to
express Japan's decision regarding the
formal conclusion of general armis-
tice, namely that in the interval be-
fore the meeting 1t is necessary to oc-
cupy the island whose possession is
an important card in Japan's diplo-
matte contest at Washington.

RUSSIAN MUTlNEERS SURRENDER
TO ROuMANIANS ON GER.
TAIN CONDITIONS.
TREATED AS FOREIGN DtsERTERs
WILL BE TAKEN TO ANY FROM
TIER THEY SELECT AND
THEN LIBERATED.

Kustenji, Roumania, July 10.-The
Russian flag once again floats over
the battleship Kniaz Potemkine and
the torpedo boat which have given
such terrors to the Black sea COM
munities for a couple of weeks. The
formal surrender of the mutinous
crews occurred at / p. m, after a
series of discussions and negotiations
between the Roumanian authorities
and the leaders of the mutineers.
The vessels arrived here early in
the day and the Roumanian authori-
ties who boarded the battleship called
on the crew to surrender, in which
case they would be treated as foreign
deserters, or else leave the port forth
with 1t speedily became apparent
that the Russian vessels returned to
this port with the intention of giving
themselves up to foreign government
and the crews soon announced their
acceptance of the Roumanian terms.
The mutineers wanted to be permit
ted to take off the treasure which was
on board the KniaZ Potemkine, but
the Roumanian authorities declined to
acquiesce.
The Russians will gradually be con-
veyed to any frontier they may select
and will then be liberated, the local
officials having given an undertaking
to this effect. The Roumanian flag has
been hoistad over the Russian war ves-
sells as well as the Russian, so as to
prevent any attack on them in Rou-
manian waters by the vessels of the
Russian squadron, which are reported
to be in pursuit of the mutineers.

DECISION CAUSES NO ALARM.
Out, -wed Gas Company Will Continue
Business in Kansas.

Ietiburg, july 10.-The decision OF
the Kansas stare supreme court pro-
hibiting the kaL sas Natural Gas COM
pany from engaging in business In
Kansas is not received with alarm by
the owners of the company, who are
pittsburaers.
1t is entirely probable that the let
ter of the Kansas supreme court man.
date will be obeyed, but that the busi-
ness of the corporation in that state
will hereafter be transacted in the
name of the subsidiary concerns,
which are controlled by the Kansas
Natural Gas company.
Both President Barnsdall and D1rec-
tor John S. Scolly intimated this and
referred to the fact that half dozen
corporations, controlled by the same
interests, had been regularly char
tered In Kansas and the Kansas Nat
ural Gas company's holdings either
had been or would be shortly trans
ferred to one of these. Commenting
on the opinion President Barnsdall
said
''The supreme court decision will
not injure us 10 any extent. We have
other companies doing business In
Kansas"
The Kansas Natural Gas company
has $l2,000,000 stock and S4,00O,O0O
bonds, of which nearly all is held In
Pittsburg. The company was ineor-
porated In Delaware and had oil and
gas holdings of 250,000 acres at one
time, with a production of many mil
lions of feet of gas per day.
