It would be colossal undertaking to
double track the Santa Fe all the way
from Chicago to California and the
Gulf of Mexico.
To seriously suggest 1t now would
provoke smile from men who know
the cost Of such project.
Yet 1t may happen some day, II busi-
ness continues TO increase as rapidly
as in the last decade.
This plan of two tracks from the
Great Lakes to Pacific Ocean does not
necessarily imply that the tracks will
be laid side by side. In many cases
cut-offs will be used, thus saving in
mileage as well as train operation.
Using the term in its restricted
sense, by the end of 1905 the Santa Fe
will have more than 300 miles of dou-
BILE track in operation. Second tracks
are now being built as follows: To fin

ct; between several points in Missouri.

FREEDOM OF RELIGION
is GRANTED BY CAR OF RUSSIA
Proclamation of Emperor Nicholas
Grants Real Liberty of Conscience
Action Affects More Than Fifty
Million Dissenters,

st. Petersburg, May 1-2:20 q. m.-
Real religious freedom conferred upon
his subjects by Emperor Nicholas as
an Easter gift is historic event of
the highest significance in comparison
with which the remission of millions
OF dollars in taxes TO the peasantry, n
long list Of decorations and six pages
OF promotions of bureaucratic officials
are hardly worth comment.
Liberty of conscience has been re-
.peatedly proclaimed, and Procurator
'Pobedonostzeff, in hts reply to the
evangelical petition of 1888, contended
that 1t existed in the empire. The fact
Is that as trysting place al religions
have been tolerated in Russia, but
none has been allowed to trespass
upon orthodox faith as enunciated from
the mosque that faces the church on
the Nevsky in st. Petersburg.
The Stundists and Molkans of
southern Russia, now the principal
non-conformists, who might be de.
'scribed as the Quakers of Russia, have
made tremendous progress in recent
years in spite of prosecutions which
often have driven them eastward
and made them pioneers of Russian

.12,OO0,000 of these dissidents.
The Emperor's act will also affect
about 40,000,000 belonging to alien
faiths, such as the Jews. Catholics and
!Lutherans of Poland and the Baltic
provinces, the Protestants of Finland
and the followers Of Islam and Buddha
in the Urals, the Crimea, the eau
casus, Turkestan and Central Asia.
X These figures are only approximate,
as probably millions who are nom.
inally orthodox secretly profess other
religions. Whole villages Of Mussul.
mans baptized into the orthodox com
munion by ruse petitioned in vain
10 be permitted to return to Mohamme-
danism.
While the Emperor's approval of the
action of the committee of ministers
distinctly holds to orthodox as the
state religion and creates the usual
commission to work out many details
in connection with the offspring of
mixed marriage during minority, le-
gimitization of marriages and registra-
tion of deaths and births, 1t also re-
sends a number of acts aimed spe-
officially at various religions and estab-
fishes the principle of absolute free
dom of worship and the right Of every
Russian who becomes or age TO change
his confession of faith. in which the
assurance of religious freedom lies.

PRESIDENTS SPORT.
Has Had an Enjoyable Trip and Killed
Four Bears.

Colorado Springs, April 29.-P. B.
Stewart, who had charge of the ar
rangements for President Rooseyelt's
hunting trip in Colorado, has returned
from the camp, where he was with
the President from the latter's depart.
ure from Colorado Springs two weeks
ago until he left the Presidents camp
yesterday.
In telling OF the trip Mr., Stewart
said:
THE first camp was pitched about
eighteen miles southeast of New Cas-.
tie. The weather was stormy and in.
clement for the first week. Here we
secured the first bear, which was
killed by President Roosevelt after
having made a walking fight with the
dogs for couple of hours. President
Roosevelt shot him at distance Of
about sixty-tive yards, using an ordi.
nary army Springfield. 1t took two
shots to kill the bear. although the
President fired the second shot to
keep him from injuring the dogs. the
first shot having inflicted fatal
wound. This animal was unusually
large for black bear. his fine skin
measuring six feet across.
This country being too high for
hunting, we moved camp to another
valley, twelve miles distant. Here the
party made use of comfortable old
cabin, the first camp being under n
group of heavy spruce trees. Within
a days ride 1t was found that bear
abounded. When left the camp at
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon six had
been taken. Four had been killed by
President Roosevelt and two by DR..
Lambert. No grizzlies had been locat-
ed, but the character of the country
leaves little doubt but that the Presi-
dent will find some before his trip is
ended.
"Of the six bear killed. President
Roosevelt has three fine pelts Of the
brown variety, full grown, which were
secured Monday and Tuesday. The
hunt for these two days extended for
a distance of approximately forty
miles. The President stood the tedi.
Gus ride as well as any of the party.
In the hunting party besides the eXecu-
tive were DR.. Lambert, the guides,
Goff and Borah, and myself.
"The settlers are delighted to have
the President with them, and he is
equally pleased with his reception.
President Roosevelt appreciates the
courtesy with which those Colorado
newspapers are treating him who have
respected his expressed wishes. There
was not a newspaper in camp from
the time of our arrival until l
left. The distinguished guest devoted
his time to hunting and has not ex.
pressed desire to read a'daily paper.
Throughout the entire trip while |
was present there was nothing to in.
dicate that the President of the United
States was there, other than the title,
MIR. President by which the other
members of the party adressed him"
