CANADA IS FORGING AHEAD
Minister of Railways and Canals Says
the Country Is Enjoying Great
ProsperitY

H. r. Emerson, minister of railways
and canals Of Toronto, Canada, and
party. from Toronto and New Bruns-
wick, arrived In Los Angeles yesterday
morning in the Canadian government
private car No. 109, having left To-
ronto on October 1S for an inspection
tour of the Canadian railroads.
Asked regarding financial conditions
existing in Canada, Mr.. Emerson said
the country Is prospering. "Our wheat
crop this year." he said, was over
100,000,000 bushels and of a splendid
quality. We now have two great
transcontinental railroads in process
of construction-the Canadian North
ern and the Grand Trunk Pacific. 1t
was necessary to build these railroads
in order to afford means of trans
portation for the wheat crop of north
western Canada"
Mr.. Emerson stated that government
ownership of railroads and canals had
been found to be profitable in Canada
for both the government and the peo-
pie, and that 1t had not infringed upon
private corporations. He. is favorably
impressed with the railroads of the
United States and is taking special
interest in the mountain lines.
When asked why he came to Los
Angeles, Mr.. Emerson said: "I do not
think that ones education is complete
without seeing Los Angeles. The cli-
mate here Is great. 1t is certainly
balmy for this time of year. I like
it,"
Mr.. Emerson and party will leave to-
morrow evening for San Bernardino,
and from there will return to Toronto
by way of Salt Lake City and Denver.

HARTMAN WORKS
FOR GOOD OF MEN
WOULD HAVE A RAILROAD
INSURANCE COMPANY
officials say President Of Union Pa.
eIfio and Southern Pacific Is Not
Trying to Boycott the
Equitable Life

Local railroad officials deny that r.
II. Hartman Is endeavoring to boycott
the Equitable Life or that he is try
ing to influence the election of officers
in New York on December s.
1t will be remembered that some four
or five years ago movement was on
foot to establish an insurance COM
pany for railroad men only, and, ac-
cording to official statements, this
movement is being furthered now for
the sole purpose of putting such a
company upon a working basis.
The questions as to how much in
surance each man carries and In what
company 1t Is. that have so stirred
up the employees OF the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific during the last
few days, are said to have been asked
to ascertain how the men feel in re-
gard to insurance and to give the pro-
moters of the new company a basis
to work upon.
The insurance that It is proposed to
give the men will be along the same
lines as that given by various east
ern roads and by the different roads
of Germany.
cost the men much less than policies
in the old line companies, because
they will be charged according to the
actual cost of operation and payment
of liabilities, and railroad statistics
show that railroading is not as haz-
ardous a business as the insurance
companies claim.
officials believe that 1t will be a
great boon to the men because more
of them will carry insurance than do
now on account of the rates being
low. No man will be compelled to
take out a policy who does not wish
to do SO of his own free will.

Edward Chambers, general freight
agent of the Santa Fe, arrived in Los

held a conference with w. G. Barnwell,
assistant general freight agent, and
other Santa Fe officials in regard to
the terms that will be demanded from
the Salt Lake road for the use Of in
dustrial switches in Southern Califor-
riia- In the meantime Senator Clark,
president of the Salt Lake, was clos
eted with the various Salt Lake Off
cials at the Huntington building dis
cussing the concessions that would be
granted the Santa Fe.
1t is not likely that the officials of
the two roads will get together until
some time next week, when 1t is prob
able that some agreement will be
reached, although several conferences
have been held at various times with
out result.
The Salt Lake officials desire to have
the question settled Immediately, for
otherwise they would lose nice profit
for hauling oranges. which they cannot
reach except over the Santa Fe tracks.

fight in the senate when the bill to
regulate railroad rates is taken up. In
speaking of the bill yesterday Senator
Flint said:
II am strongly in favor of giving
additional power to the interstate COM

result in taking away from the Pacific

MExIcANS MUST PAY FARE
No Free transportation Home for
Those Who Are Citizens of
the United States

Mexicans in Southern California who
have become citizens of the United
States and who are seized with a long
ing to return to their native land will
hereafter find 1t difficult to procure
transportation free from the Mexican
consul.
Heretofore when a Mexican became
weary of the strenuous life in the
United States he could apply to the
consul and receive ticket to Mexico
without further ado. But such favors
are no longer granted unless the ap-
plicant retains his citizenship In his
mother country. in which event he can
ride free.
An imposing register is now kept by
the consul in which the record of every
Mexican who comes into the United
States Is kept, from the time he arrives
until he departs.
If native of Mexico has become a
citizen Of this country he can hope for
no free transportation to the father
land.

ACUINALDO WHEN AT HOME
His Influence with the Better Clasa of His Countrymen Beyond
 Question.

The influence which the discredited Filipino leader, Aguinaldo, still pos, sesses even with the upper class of his countrymen is as undoubted as it is sur- prising. relates Century. The Filipinos present were all his superiors in educa4 tion, and probably most of them were also his superiors in affairs. as the vest ern world understands it. Several of tha company had at various times been his advisers, had devised for him his policy, and had executed his official acts. They had been behind the scenes and underS stood the causes for his rise and falH knew him as he really was; yet all of them manifested deference, as if for the mythical personality which the pop1 ulace and peasantry still credit.
 Gravely and quietly Aguinaldo ac4 knowledged his reception. He spoke slowly and guardedly in soft voice; more the thin, high-pitched voice of . child than of a man. He said little, but his manners were gentle and, with his old friends, affectionate. The first imi pression which he created was a pleasl ant and dignifled one, save for the ex- pression of cautious cunning in his eyes, and for the lines of the mouth, which showed habit of exaggerated repres- sion.

SAILING IN AN AIRsHIP.
Many Queer Sensations Visit the Aero naut-Feels No Sense oi
 Motion.

Tt is singular fact" says A. R. Knabenshue, in the St. Louis Globe Democrat. that when one is going as much as 15 or 20 miles an hour in an airship one has no sensation of moving whatever The air beats in your face as you move along, but it only creates the impression that one is standing still in a strong breeze.
 There are no objects flying past you as when you are travelling on the surface of the earth. and as you must keep your eyes looking ahead of you you observe only distant objects. so distant because of your high point of view that you ap- proach them apparently so slowly you do not seem to move at all. consider this one of the queerest sensation in trip through the air, and the impression of scarcely moving or of not moving at all is so strong, even on the most expe- rienced aeronaut. that it is probably due to this so many of them push their motor to the extreme limit and it dies in consequence. When a speed gauge is invented for an airship it will cause fewer breakdowns of motors due to crowding power"

JAP NAVY NOW SEVENTH.
As a Sea Power, the Insular Kingdom
 Shows Great Increase in Strength.

On the eve of the war Japan's was the smallest of the seven leading navies Of the world. The fleet of Russia, at the time, was inferior only to that of Great Britain and of France. says Hosmer Whitfield, in Success. During 1903 Rus sia spent on her fleet over $55, 900, 900. while Japan for the whole of her navy expended only about $11 1,O00,00 Con- sequently Russia laid out in naval equip ment nearly five times as much as Japan, whose naval fighting strength. at the beginning of hostilities, was only half that of Italy. Alexief said: "The fleet of the island kingdom is only an exotic which we will cripple at the on- set" In the anxiety to impress Asia with her might, Rusisa sent ponderous- looking men-of-war to the far east with too few mechanical ratings. and with seamen who. in a confession made to me by Russian officer, were only lag ricultural laborers." not only unused to sea life, but also unversed in even the simplest mechanical knowledge. It was in this condition that Japan found its enemy when it opened its attack.
