PLANS FoR MERGER
Pennsylvania System Prepares for
Consolidation.

Plans are maturing at the general
offices of the Pennsylvania Railway
Company in Philadelphia for q whole
sale merging of several of the largest
and most important controlled lines,
including the Allegheny Valley Rail-
way Company, the Western New York
& Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia &
Erie and the Northern Central rail
road companies. OF these, the con-
solidation of the first two is to be
effected first, the latter following
some months later. The plan is to
have the Allegheny Valley and the
Western New York merged into a
single company, and the Philadelphia
e. Erie and the Northern Central in
to another. Then these two new COM
panies are shortly to be amalga-
mated with the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, forming one immense
corporation.

czAR GRANTS ASSEMBLY
Measure Giving the Russian People
Some Voice Proclaimed.

In a solemn manifesto Emperor
Nicholas announced to his subjects
the fruition of his plans summonins
the representatives of the people, as
outlined by him in rescript issued
on March last and fixes the date
for the first conyocation as mid-Janu-
ary, and in ukase, addressed to the
senate, formally orders that body to
register as the imperial will a law
project, formulating the nature, pow
ers and procedure of the new govern
mental organization.
The national assembly will be a
consultative organization in con-
nection with the council of the en-
pire, and r0t a legislative body. The
powers of the emperor remain theore-
tically absolute. AS the emperor is
the supreme lawgiver and autocrat,
the decisions of the douma have only
a recommendatory and not binding
force, though the rejection of any
legislative measure by a two-thirds
majority of both houses is sufficient
to prevent that measure from becom-
ing law.
The representative of the people
will have not only the right to be
heard on any legislation proposed by
the government, but also can voice
their desires on new laws and will
have the right to exert a certain SUI
pervision over budgetary eXpendi-
lures.
The suffrage, though wide, is not
universal. 1t is based on property
qualification, the peasantry having a
vote through membership in commun-
al organizations.
A considerable portion of the resi-
dents of the cities, possessing no
lands, together with women, soldiers,
civil functionaries, etc, are without
suffrage

GOOD CROPS CAUSE BOOM
Mills and Factories Well Employed
and Little Machinery Idle in In
dustrial establishments.

Assurance of prosperity on the
farms generates confidence in all de.
partments of trade and industry.
Contracts are placed for distant de.
livery, and commercial payments are
more prompt. 1t is also gratifying to
note that pending and threatening la
Dor controversies are less numerous;
a higher scale was adopted at glass
factories and the attractive wages
paid to harvest hands have reduced
the ranks of the unemployed to a
minimum.
Jobbing trade is brisk, especially in
dry goods, and all the large cities
report a full attendance of outside
buyers. Mills and factories are well
employed, little idle machinery being
noted in the prominent industries, al.
though iron and steel dispatches are
still somewhat irregular. Traffic by
rail and water is very heavy, railway
earnings thus far reported for Au-
gust exceeding last years figures by
Sc per cent, and foreign trade at New
York for the last week showed q
gain of $2,704,560 over exports year
ago, and an increase of $322,957 in
imports. It is becoming year of
superlatiyes in the business world;
prices of the 60 most active railway
securities have reached the highest
point on record output of pig iron in
the first half of 1905 not only far
surpassed any preceding six months
production, but exceeded every full
year prior to 1898; prices of hides
are at the highest position since the
Civil war; wool quotations have not
been as strong since the early eight
les; shipments of footwear from Bos-
ton are close to the maximum, and in
Guiding all shoe centers, the move
ment this year is beyond precedent;
foreign commerce in July surpassed
the corresponding month in any pre-
vlous year. Bank exchanges at New
York for the week were 3S.9 per
cent. larger than last year, and at
other leading cities the gain aver
aged 15.l per cent.

TRAIN DASHES INTO DRAW |
Many Negro Excursionlsts Meet
Death Near Norfolk, Va.
AIR BRAKES DID NOT WORK
Train Could not Be Stopped at Bridge
According to General Orders.

owing to the inability Of Engineer

excursion train from Kinston, N. c..
bound to Norfolk, Va, plunged
through an open draw over the west
ern branch of the Elizabeth river
eight miles from Norfolk, and hall
hundred persons, mostly negroes,
were drowned.
The list of injured SO far as can
be ascertained, numbers nearly 100,
though most of these are slightly
hurt.
Among the victims the only white
ones were Edward j. Oliff, manager of
the excursion, and Edward Forbes,

The Merritt wrecking organization
dispatched an expedition to the scene
of the wreck to endeavor to raise the
sunken cars, which lay in about 20
feet of water.
With the exception of the train
crew and the promoters of the eXcur-
sion, all aboard were negroes. The
engineer, fireman and conductor es-
capped.
The train was running at rate of
15 or 20 miles an hour as it ap-
preached the bridge. The specific or
ders of the road to stop all trains at
the bridge whether the draw is open
or not was apparently ignored. The
train plunged into the abyss. Both,
engineer and fireman, discovered the
open draw too late to stop the train
The airbrakes were applied but did
not work properly.
The engine was completely SUBJ
merged, not even the smokestack be-
ing visible. The car that was next
to it was also submerged completely
The train consisted of six coaches
Some of these remained on the track
Those aboard those cars were only
shaken slightly. The injury to pas
sengers was confined to the first two
cars.

FEVER AND FAMINE
Republic of Honduras Passing
Through Sore Trials.


Through Sore Trials.
AT cost to the nation of $4,000, 900
and scores of the lives of its inhabi-
tants, the republic of Honduras is, ac-
cording to advices received at the
consulate general at New York, pass
ing through one of the worst vista
tions of disease and famine in its his
tory.
President Bonila, who has assumed
personal charge of the work of the
relief corps engaged in fighting the
yellow fever, is now at Ceiba on the
north coast, where he is eXerting his
utmost endeavOrs to prevent the
spread of the disease, which made its
appearance on the Caribbean coast OF
Honduras simultaneously with the
outbreak in New Orleans in May.
The famine, which was confined to
the Pacific slope of the republic, was
brought about by the failure of the
corn and bean crops, caused by excess
sive rains during the last winter, and
but for the prompt, energetic and Law
ish measures adopted by the admins
tration, according to DR.. Salvador
Cordova, the people would have starv-
ed by the thousands in the vicinity of
Tegucigalpa, the capital.
Successive cargoes of corn, flour and
other provisions brought into the re-
public from the United States and
Nicaragua, averted catastrophe that
at several periods during the last six
months had threatened the country.

The suspension of gold and silver
coinage at the Philadelphia mint is
explained at the Treasury depart

of silver bullion is entirely exhausted
and there is no call at preent for

No Battle Will Take Place During

In Manchuria while the peace ne

if either Oyama or Linevtch should
deliberately bring on general en-

100000 lives, he would be accused of
bad faith in the negotiations here,

CHINESE HERE AID BOYCOTT
Secret Organization Institutes Move

Ten thousand dollars will be raised
by the Chinese of Portland, Ore, to
aid in the boycott, in China, against
American goods. Two meetings of
the local colony have been held at
which it was decided that each Chi

least 50 to carry on the campaign.
The movement was instituted by
secret organization of San Francis

Dispatches received at the State
Department at Washington from
China show that Shanghai is the only
place where the boycott against
American goods has assumed any
thing like a serious aspect. At
Canton the movement has made some
headway, but at other points it has
not been successful.
