BUYS FROM A KING
MoRGAN's LATE PURCHASE WAS FROM LEOPOLD.
Plans Are for . Continuous Line of Railroad From PelSIn to Canton, Over 2,50O Miles in D.
 Length. ,.

Paris, Jan. 14-Informatlon from Brus- sells reaching the highest quarters here shows 1t is the extensive interest of King Leopold in the Canton Hankow Railroad which have passed into hands of representa- tiyes of J. Pierpont Morgan of New York. NegotiatIons on the subject have been gc- ing on for some time, as 1t was contem- plated to combine French. Belgian and American interests, so eventually to cover the Franco Belgian concession for Hne from Pekin to Hankow. thus making con- tinuous trunk line from Pekin to Canton, over 2.5oO miles. running from north to south through the heart of populous China.
 The extent of this project is compared by those familiar with the negotiations with the trans- continental lines conecing New York and San Francisco. That portion of the project relating to Pekin and Hankow is estill in abeyance, but the French view appears favorable to combine the interests so as to make a continuous route from the capital to the great emporium in tn esouth. That portion relating 10 the Hankow-Can- ton railroad is considered to have been closed by the transferrence of the interests of which the personal holding of King Leo pold make up the largest part to Mfr. Nor gan.
 The concession of tho Hankow- Canton rail- road was originally American, then passed under the Belgian control. The line is about l,SU kin will be about 1, 400 miles. total of B. 600 miles, without counting the extensive spurs toward Teintsin, Kiao Chou and Shanghai.
 Reports received from China show there Is much native agitation against foreign railroad enterprise and the authorities here fear this may interfere with the proper de- velopment of French, Belgian and American interests. The native question is not con fined to the ignorant classes. It includes Chinese capitalists who are interested in the earnings of the railroads. These have combined with tho Portuguese line from Canton to Macao. They recently held vio- lent meeting in a Buddhist temple at Can ton for the purpose of opposing foreign con- troi of the railroads.
 The official reports showing the cancel lation Of the British concession for rail road from Swatow to Chaochou and its re- issuance to Japanese is cited another evil dence of native objection to European and American railroad developments.
 curious feature is that the Chinese cap italist do not wish for entire control of the railroads. desiring sufficient foreign partici- patton to insure foreign governments pre- venting extension by Chinese officials.

DID NOT GIVE REBATES
RIPLEY EXPLAINS COLORADO FUEL.
 COMPANY MATTER.
The Law May Possibly Have Been VIO- lateds He Says, But There Was No Intention to
 Do So.

Chicago. Jan. 14.-Preesident E. P Ripley of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. in further explanation of his telegram to the Interstate Commerce Commission regarding his withdrawal of q request for a rehearing of the case in which it is alleged that his com pany gave rebates to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company on coal shipments, this afternoon made the following statement:
 Tho statements that have been made relative to the recent hearing of the Interstate Commerce Commission for the purpose of Investigating New Mex leo coal rates indicate an utter mis- conception of the facts disclosed by the testimony. which are as follows
 "The mining industries in Arizona and Old Mexico, located upon the Fl Paso and Southwestern Railroad and it's connections, have long been import ant customers of the Atchison Com pany, by reason of their large consump- ton of bituminous coal. The favored coal, by reason of its quality for steam purposes. is that mined in Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado. All the mines situated on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad produc- ing this quality of coal were owned or controlled by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
 Some two years ago the Atchison Company. in competeing for this busi- ness, was confronted with the neces sity of making a specific freight rate which would encourage the industries mentioned to use coal instead of oil. which was then being considered and had become q practicable and cheap fuel in consequence of large discoveries of oil in Texas and California. As a result of various negotiations, an ar engagement was arrived at whereby the Atchison Company agreed that 1t would carry coal from the mines to Deming for $290 per ton and would there de. liver the same to the Fl Paso and Southwestern Railroad Company. col lecting In addition to its own freight rate of S29O the sum of $1.10 for the Colorado Fuel Company. as was the custom of all roads in that territory.
 Through some inexplicable mistake. the joint rate which was gut in force to cover this arrangement and which should have shown upon its face that the rate included the price of the coal. failed to disclose such fact and as 8 conseduence 1t is possible there may have been an unintentional violation of the law. But 1t is obvious that no one was injured thereby, because the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company re- ceived under the arrangement nothing more than the contract price for its coal and there were no other shippers in that field.
 The absurdity of the current re- ports to the effect that rebates were paid the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com pany is clearly shown by the fact that the fuel company had no interest what ever in the freight rates, all of which were paid by the consumers"

 Chicago, Jan. 14.--Casting his wife asida by tho aid of divorce obtained fraudu- lently in order that he might marry hia stenoErapher Is the charge made in the Sn- perior Court against Joseph V. S.. Church. Western manager of the Electrical World. From England the divorced wife. Mrs. An- nie L.

The court today sronts ed Mrs Church permission to file an apswen to her husbands original bill. charging de- sertion.
 In her plea for 8 re-hearing of the case Mrs, Church asserts that she never received A notice of the divorce suit brought by her husband, and that it was only through friends that she afterwards learned of thd separatio nand tho subsequent marriage of Church. Although the court records show that Church secured his divorce on thA charge of desertion. Mrs. Church declares that she never left her husband, but that he sent her to London, England, where she now lives, to care for a sick daughter and that Church promised to follow them to Eng- land
 A copy of the letter on which Church gained his decree was sent to the wife in London. She declares that not only did she never write the missive, but that it is not her handwriting. and that she has no knowledge of its origin.

TRIED TO BLOW UP LINER.

Philadelphia, Jan. 14.-Detectives from New York and Washington are expected to- morrow to identify Gessler Rosseau, who was arrested yesterday with an internal mi- chine in his possession.
 Inspector Mccluskey of New York was in communication today with Captain of De- tectives Donaghy and asked for forty-eight hours in which to prepare his claim for the prisoner, who, the New York authorities are positive, is the man who attempted to blow up the Cunard Line steamer UInbria last May.
 Captain Donaghy also heard from wash- ington by long distance telephone and was informed that photographs of Rosseau had been identified there those of the crank who had attempted to destroy the statue of Frederick the Great by hanging an in- fernaI machine on the fence surrounding the statue.
 Captain Donaghy informed the police ce both cities to send representatives and said the prisoner would be turned over 70 the city presenting the strongest evidence against him.

Meaning of RuSSia'S Latest Note.
JAPANESE NOT ALARMED
Not Believed Vigorous Action
 Will Be Immediate.
Baron Hayasha Calls at the London Foreign once and Discusses the Latest Development with scc-
 retary Lansdewne.

I,ondou. Ian. 14.--The Russian gov ernments circular regarding Chinese neutrality has not yet reacneu .ne pritish Foreign Office, where today it was explained that the delay was doubtless due to the absence or Am Am basyador Benckendorff, such cornriuiiI @ cations being usually submitted ny HID in person Consequently, the Foreisp Of,ce declined to give any expressiop, of opiuion concerning the matter.
 In diplomatic quarters, the circular ia regarded as a move to forestaii com pIaints of Russian transgressioh oA Chinese territory coming from Japan hut not as indicating any immediate UT serious action on Russia's part m the near future. The very fact that there has been no haste in presehtins circular to Great Britain mignt iioi cate that this is the correct view.
 Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minis ter who has not received official nou- Acation of the circular. visited For eiRn Secretary Lansdowne this ai.eE noon and the Associated Press unoeF- stands that they discussed the circu- lar informally. Minister Hayasni, prior to his visit to Lord Lansdo"he' saio '0 the Associated Press: :.--
 .The Japanese have not replieo eo the innumerable allegations or breaches of neutrality and of inter national law charged by Russia slhee the beginning of the war. but the Jap anese government probably VIII reply to this formal charge.
 Like sGYeIIOyv Peril" Scare.
 Baron Hayashi thought, however that 1t was in line with other charges, and similar to "The Yellow Peril scare. He said Great Britain the limited States and Germany all had as
 RnqSia had and being well represented there, Knew from their own agents whether 1t was necessary to interfere. Incidentally Raron Hayashi said he was well pleas cd to learn of the intention or the American Government to estapllsh district court for the consular service in China and Korea, as 1t would ta- ctlitate Japanese appeals from the con sular courts.
 At the German embassy discussion of the Russian circular was productive of the opinion that China had had too severe a lesson in the last Boxer movement to permit of another out break against Europeans. It was thought improbable at the embassy that Russia really intended to withdraw from adherence to the agreement linn tting the zone of hostilities in the Far East. At the Chinese Legation 1t was asserted that China had malhtalIhsu neutrality such as few European pow CTS could have kept in the face Of the most trying circumstances.
 "If China violated the neutrality" it was asked, what have Germany and France done? Why select China for such a formal charge to the powers? It is not a question of preference on the part of Chinese population. for l assure you that great mass of the Chinese do not favor the Japanese any more than they do the Russians.

 By Present Session.

by freStuh SrbShOms
 Washington, Jan. 14.-Prestdent Roosevelt had a conference today with Secretary Taft and Representative Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the in- terstate and foreign commerce commit tees of the House, regarding freight legislation. At the conclusion of the conference, Representative Hepburn said he had prepared a bill on the sub- ject of railroad rates which embodied the recommendations of the President. Colonel Hepburn added that in a few days a conference would be held, probably at the White House, for the consideration of the measure he had prepared. ''The President, Secretary Taft, Attorney General Moody and oth- ers," said Colonel Hepburn, who are especially interested in the legislation will participate in the conference"
 Do you think rate legislation will be enacted at the present session"
 T do; most certainly" replied Colon el Hepburn. T believe the House will pass a measure before the end of this month and there is no reason why 1t should not be crystallized into law be- fore the session ends.'

 Lynchburg. Va. Jan. 14.--After con- sulation today. attorney for J. Samuel McCue. who Is to be hanged on Fri- day for the murder of his wife in Charlottesville. decided to do nothing further until the return of J. I. Lee, senior counsel. from s nunting trip to Georgia.
 While 1t is believed that an effort Is to be made to secure respite for Mc- Cue to give him opportunity to pre- pare for death. 1t may be that an effort will be made to have the supreme court review the case on supplementary petition.
 There seems to be no doubt that the attorneys for McCue will not ask for communication of sentence to life im- prisonment or for pardon. Their only hope is in a review of the case by the appellate court. McCue knows nothing of the actions of his ease.
