While the new turn table is being
placed in position, all of the engines
at Baraboo for repairs are scatter
ed about the yards. Nearly every
engine was taken from the round
house and while the building is
vacant it will be thoroughly over
hauled and placed in good repair.
While the engines are scattered
about the yards it makes it very
inconvenient to do the work but
with fine weather there will be no
delay in making repairs.

week the old one broke down and
became practically useless. With

TAFT PARTY VISITS CANTON
Secretary Makes speech at Luncheon
Given by the VicerOy in
His Honor.


HONG KONG. Sept. 4.-The Taft party
arrived at Canton this morning and pro-
ceeded TO the American consulate, where
its members were met by battalion of the
viceroys guards. After a reception at the
consulate, the party became guests of the
New Canton railway, covering its entire
distance.
At l O'Clock the visitors were entertained
at luncheon by invitation of the viceroy,
who, however was III and unable to be
present. His representative made speech
referring to the friendly relations between
the Chinese nation and America
Secretary Taft in responding, said by
direction of the president, he was pleased
to note the friendly relations of the two
countries. The United States government
did not want a foot or acre Of Chinese soil.
He said he thought the boycott of Amer
lea was an unreasonable violation of treaty
rights and conditions between the two
countries and declared that he was glad the
viceroy had ordered the boycott stopped.
The party's trip to Canton has had I'M
rnense effect and It is believed that within
two weeks the boycott will end.
The viceroy on Monday morning gave
notice that he had ordered the boycott to
be declared of and all of its leaders to be
arrested and punished.
Old residents of Canton say that they
believe the agitators are using the boycott
as an excuse for demonstration against
all foreigners.
During their stay in Canton a few mem
bers OF the Taft party visited the old city.
They made many purchases and were
treated with great respect, there being no
evidence OF i'll feeling. The entire party
returned TO Hong Kong late tonight
