CHINESE RAILROAD PAYING
imperial Government May "CIean Up"
Three Million Dollars During
the Year.

PEKING, Aug. 5.-(Special Cablegram TO
The Bee e)-The net profits of the Chinese
Imperial railways for the six months end
ing March /, 1905, as shown in figures Just
made public, amount to over I.625OOO and
If this rate of progress is maintained the
years profits WILL after paying interest
on the loan and providing the stipulated
sum for amortisation, amount to over 49,
100000 In view Of these favorable circum-
stances and conditions the Chinese govern
ment has already commenced the construc-
tion of the 12O-mile line TO Kagan, a con-
tract for a large portion of the rails hav-
ing been awarded to a French firm.
These financial successes are disposing
the Chinese to regard railways in the most
friendly light and possibly now fewer
concessions will go abroad. Yet it is be-
lieved that with the ineradicable Manchu
tendencies the large sums of money may
be employed with good effect Experts be-
lieve that after the war which has helped
the railway development of trade in Man
churia it will continue to such an extent
that the abnormal profit will remain un-
diminished.

JOHANNESBURG. Aug 5.-tspecial Ca
blegram to The Bee)-An informal con-
ference on railway matters between the
Cape and Natal governments and the high
commissioner has just been concluded. The
intercolonial conference held in February
agreed to reduce the preference enjoyed by
Lorenzo Marques as a forwarding port for
the Transvaal by lowering the railway
rates from other ports. The matter was
referred to Portugal for its approval of the
terms Of the modus vivendi Portugal re-
fused to accept the recommendations Of tho
colonial governments and the coast col
onies urged the high commissioner 10 de-
nounce the agreement with Portugal, point
ing out that Lord Miner clearly indicated
that this will be the only course open in
the event of PortugaIs opposition to the
findings of the conference
The proposed reduction of railway rates
would have the effect Of cheapening the
cost Of goods in the Transvaal and OF Gi-
viding the oversea traffic equally between
Lorenzo Marques, Durham and the cape
ports. The present amount passing over the
cape lines Is per cent barely suffiCes to
pay maintenance and the interest on cap
ital expenditure though the. lines were
specially built for the Transvaal trade.
Reckoning on the rivalry between the va
rious ports and the dependence Of the
Transvaal upon Portuguese territory for
a supply Of natives Portugal appears to be
adopting an uncompromising attitude. The
/ Transvaal, It is alleged, has no desire "a
quarrel with Delagoa bay, but the Portu-
guese authorities are warned that an at
tempt to dictate a railway policy for the
British colonies may force the TransvaaI

LOCATES ORIGINAL OF oTHELLo
Document Throws Light on People
in ShakeSpeHre's Great
Tragedy.

MILAN, Aug. ESPECIAL Cablegram to
The Bee.)-An interesting discovery has
been made amongst a series of ancient
documents collected from the archives of
the Carergi family, and presented to the
Royal Institute of Sciences and Letters at
Venice by Signor Cesara Levi. An inspec-
tion of these documents has revealed the
identity of Othelo, the protagonist of
Shakespeare's tragedy, who proves to have
been one Nicolas Querini, son of Fran
cesco while Desdemona was the daughter
of Palma QuerinL Both belonged to noble
Venetian families and were related to each
other.
The episode forming the plot of the
tragedy occurred in 1912 at the church of
St Franciscus at Rethmo, in Gambia,
where Desdemona had taken refuge The
church has now been converted into a
mosque From the will of Antonio Calergi,
which has also been discovered, it appears
that he was an intimate friend of Cynthio,
from one of whose tales Shakespeare took
the materials for his tragedy.

Cablegram TO The Bee.)-The inner story of
the attempts by Russia to buy up the
navies of the South American republics-so
persistently repeated and so vehemently

The deal was engineered by an Anglo
American syndicate. 1t demanded $S5, ,0OO, 900
as the price of the ships, which came to TO-
900 tons in the aggregate. The negotiations
failed owing to the distrust the members OF
the syndicate had for each other. Another
reason for the failure given was the fact
that the Russian admiralty demanded the

MAY USE DECIMAL WEIGHTS
British Board of Trade Takes An
other Step Toward the Amer
lean system.

LONDON, Aug. Especial Cablegram to
The Bee .)-The Board of Trade has driven
the thin end of the decimal wedge a little
further into the table of British weights
and measures. Two years ago the board
authorized the use of 5O-pound weights at
Liverpool, and at a meeting of the Dock
board just held II is stated that the de-
partment has now legalized the use of
2O-pound lO-pound and 5-pound weights.
The business of Liverpool was greatly
simplifed by the 5O-pound weight; the new
weights will simplify It still more.
The weights of the American goods
which form the staple at the ports trade,
had under the old system to be translated
into their British equivalent before they
could be checked on this side.
While the English pound is the exact
equivalent of the American pound. the
American exporter does not know the
stone; his hundredweight is one of 100
pounds and his ton is 1900 pounds.
Consequently a bale Of cotton which
weighs quarter of an American ton
would kick the beam II placed opposite
to British cuarter-ton weight. The
weigher had to work out that It was equal
to four British hundredweights and fifty
two pounds over before he knew what
weights TO put in the scale against 1t.
The decimal weights do away with this
! and their popularity is shown by the fact
/ that the Liverpool Dock board already uses
/ 1000 Of the 50-pound weights.
/ Eliminate OF fractions makes the sys
/ TEN very popular with the bookkeepers
whose work is reduced TO a considerabl,
extent.
