ROADS Hi AT STATE
WISCONSIN LINES STOP PLANS
BECAUSE OF ENMITY.
ACT INVOLVES 100000
Wrath of Badger Railways Brought
Down on People on Account of
Adverse Legislation and Pub
lie Attitude.
[special CONSEQUENCE

Madison, Wis, March 13.-Wisconsin
has, by its adverse legislation and seem
ing feeling of enmity toward the rail-
roads Of the state, brought down the
wrath of the corporations on its head,
and the companies declare that not I'M
til cessation of this example of popu-
lar temper is noticed will the many i'm
provements, which had been planned
for the state, be realized. All the roads
have abandoned their projects, includ-
ing fully $10,000.000 worth of improve
ments, and no further efforts will be
made to add to the facilities of shippers.
The Northwestern is the road which no
tees the ill-feeling of the people most,
and this line had planned more improve
ments than any other system in the
state, consequently the withdrawal of the
plans will be felt to a great extent. Elk
tensions had been projected for Sheboy-
gan, Green Bay Northwestern Road,
new line was to be built from Lake Bluff
to Milwaukee at cost of 81 900, 000,a cut
off had been decided on between Mani
towoc and Green Bay, bringing the two
cities within So miles of each other by
rail, and road had been surveyed
through the timber land near Manito-
wish. Now, however, all these plans
have been abandoned, not as spite work,
according to the heads OF the roads, but
purely as a matter of business. Other
roads besides the Northwestern had
planned spurs and minor improvements,
and each, coinciding with the ideas of
the others, have agreed to quit the work.
The managers declare that their effort
to please the public is not appreciated,
the people doing what they can to in
jure the roads. In this city there has
been not one minute of rest In the rail-
road rate agitation; hearings are con-
stantly going on, and the corporations
are as often denounced. AS yet, there
has been little effect seen from the ulti-
matum of the railways, except to arouse
CONSERVATION among the solonS and
make the bitter feeling even more in
tense.
Bryan Speaks to Solons.
On the invitation of the legislature
last week, William j. Bryan addressed
the body, with Gov La Follete in at
tendance. He created great enthusiasm
by branding the governor as the great
est champion of rate regulation in the
United States, and praised to the skies
the administration measures of the
state. The former presidential candi-
date made the railroads the target Of his
remarks and declared that he was well
| pleased with the hold which wisconsin
had taken in its effort to curb these cor
| poratiOnS.

Quebec.-As the result of the recent
decision CT the British privy council, two
fugitives from American justice will
probably soon be taken to the United
States. to stand trial for their serious Of
Tense against the laws.
Years ago, before extradition treaties
had been arranged with European coun-
tries, the Canadian dominion or the
South and Central American republics,
it was common practice of American
criminals to seek refuge outside the boz
ders of the States" Canada, being
easy of access, was favorite harbor for
embezzlers and defaulters, and many
there defied the efforts of justice to bring
them to trial
Even after agreements had been eff
fected with most of the countries, men
who had decamped with considerable
sums preferred taking their chances
with the extradition laws and with
government officials whose decisions
they could often influence with their ill
gotten wealth, rather than remain at
home where certain punishment awaited
them.
