Prophet Suspected of Being
in Railway Scheme.
HE SURVEYS BEYOND LINES
Concession. Is ,Withdrawn-Threatened
With Charges OF Breach Of
Contract.

Ell PASO. Texas. June 10.-John
Alexander Dowie, the self-styled Elijah
H. and President Diaz. of Mexico,
have fallen out over the prophets s
scheme to coionize 100000 acres in the
State of Tamaulipas. on the Gulf coast
After obtaining this concession from
the Mexican government, Dowie. 1t has
now been discovered. broke his agree
nlent by surveying for railroad lines,
not only within his colony's confines,
but nearly one hundred miles beyond.
This has aroused the suspicion that
Dowie is working with an American
railroad syndicate.
Incensed by this discovery. President
Dtaz has withdrawn the railroad con-
cession. and Dowie is threatened with
charges for breach Of contract
Will Build Seven Cities.
Dowie's plan calls for the building Of
seven cities, with Eden the chief OF the
group; The irrigation Of vast barren
tracts by tunneiing into four extinct
volcanoes that are filed with water; the
establishment of his own ports and
merchant marine and other extraordi-
nary improvements.
No similar Organization ever embarked
In an enterprise OF such magnitude,
Dowie proposes to sell the land to his
followers at prices ranging from SIS
to 800 per acre, although he is said to
have confded to some Of the faithful
that IL they would hurry up and get In
on the ground floor they could have 1t
for so per acre. On this tract of land
the prophet paid Manuel Gonzalas 81
In Mexican money for the option.
The first instailTnent of colonists will
devote their energies to building the
city of Eden which will serve as a mod
Ell for the six others when the experi-
mental stage has been passed.
To avert friction arising among the
different races Dowie will separate them
in his new Zion, and each with its own
area and capital.
Will Drive OFF All Pigs.
The s-ophet announces that he will
either slaughter all pigs and throw their
carcasses into the lakes, or chase them
off his hacienda as soon as sufficient
Zionists are collected to perfom this
feat. F1eas will likewise have to go,
accompanied by mosquitoes.
With the prophet is associated his son,
J. Gladstone Dowie. and the two seem
to be equipped with unlimited funds.
They have submitted a code of laws by
which they propose governing the Dowie
paradise. and prominent legal firm
of American attorneys in Mexico City
has been retained TO represent Dow1e.
He promises a settlement OF 10000 fol-
lowers within five years.

tics of New York show some rather
peculiar facts. In the Borough of
Manhattan there were born during
the full twelve months $4,000
babies, of which births 10000
were regularly recorded. Of these
latter, less than $4,000 were of
American parentage, all of the
rest being of foreign parentage.
The birth rate among ths Jews

Will Show Gratifying IncPease With Lower Duties on Few Articles. Washington Special to New York World.
 Frank steinhart, American Consul General in Havana, Cuba, has sent to the Department of Commerce and La bor an extended report of the com merce and industries of the island, in which he says:
 "The life of the reciprocity treaty is still too short to speak intellgently as to the benefits derived by the United States. but there Is reason to believe that with litle more assistance through differential duties on few articles (such as rice. paper, shoes, hardware. glassware and earthenware) the increase of trade between the United States and Cuba will show be- yond q doubt the wisdom of the policy, provided the application thereof is made by means of sufficiently wide con- sessions"
 Mir. Steinhart refers to the extremely healthy condition of the island prior to the date of his report. During the year ended last June there had not been q case of yellow fever reported. He says the authorities will give their attention early this year to the ques- tIon of paving and sewering Havana. Good drainage is found In few Cuban cities except Santiago, where there Is sewer system. but little water.
 The Consul General says Cuban rail- roads will prosper along with the de- velopment of the country. The total mileage of public railroads is now 1,4S1.6, and that of private plantation railroads is s71, valued at $11,S09, ,692
 The Cuban treasury had balance of $5,S60. .372.37 on June 30 last.
 There are indications of increasing commercial prosperity on every hand Mir Steinhart says the sugar crop of 1905 will greatly exceed the crop of 1904. The cigar industry is booming, $12,302.969 worth of goods being ex- ported. of which $2.SSS.111 worth went to the United States. England took twice as much.
 The catle industry is making rapid progress toward regaining it's former prominence and now figures largely in the amount of importations into Cuba.
