Portland, Me-, Sept. 14.-Bishop
William H. O'Connell. of this Roman
Catholic diocese, left here today for
San Francisco, where he will sail for
Toxic. as special envoy of Pope Plus
X to the emperor of Japan.
Would Say Nothing.
The bishop would say nothing re-
garding the purpose of his mission, but
it has been learned, however, the Pope
has long considered the advisability of
appointing a papal representative in
Japan, where the Catholic church. al
though held in good favor by the en-
peror, is said to be unpopular among
some classes, because of the imputa-
ton that it is a French institution.
Long Absence.
1t is believed O'Connell's absence
will be an extended one.

May Get P. & P.
Rumor of Transfer of Terminal
Line to Chicago &
Alton.
THROUGH PASSENGER TRAINS
Traffic From ST. Paul to ST. Louis May
Come by Way of Rock Island and
Peoria-Santa Fe Project.

Persistent rumors among railway
men are to the effect that the Chicago
& Alton has taken over the Peoria &
Pekin Terminal line. IL this is true
it undoubtedly means considerable in
Rock Island and Alton freight and
passenger traffic There have been
various things transpiring in Peoria
that indicate such a transfer Under
such a change the Alton will have its
own terminal in Peoria instead of using
the P. & p. L. and will go 20 Pekin
Lover its own tracks instead of those of
the Peoria & Pekin Union, which it
has been doing in the past.
Through Passenger Traffic.
The manner in which railway affairs
are shaping themselves between the
Rock Island and Alton gives rise to
the supposition that the purchase of
this terminal in Peoria will mean the
through business, both passenger and
freight. from ST. Paul 10 st. Louis will
go through this city via Peoria. During
the last month a large share of the
freight has been sent over that route,
but there has been considerable delay
on account of insufficient terminal ia
cilitieS in Peoria.
Eleven Miles Difference.
The mileage between St. Paul and
st. Louis is just IL miles more by
way of Peoria and the terminal route
than it is over the old b.. c. r. & y.
route to Burlington and down the river,
as the business has always gone and
which is the route of the passenger
traffic now. While there lis only small
increase in the mileage since the Rock
Island people took over the Alton, they
have the advantage of operating over
their own tracks.
Santa Fe Wants Rock Island.
An Associated Press report today
from Kansas City says: II. u. Nudge,
second vice president of the Rock ISL
and system, in passing through Kansas
City is quoted as having confirmed the
report that the Santa Fe is endeavor-
ing to purchase the Rock Islands st.
Louis line. Mr.. Nudge said that he
presumed the conference regarding the
sale would be resumed in Chicago with
in few weeks.
