RAILWAY CONTROL IN CANADA
Oficial Says Roosevelt's Plan Works
All Right There.

Santa Barbara, Cal. Nov. 20.-H r.
Emerson, the minister of railways of
Canada, who is here on a visit, has the
following to Say on the federal control
of railroads:
I'VE have in Canada federal jurisdic-
ton over freight and passenger rates.
and have what President Roosevelt is
seeking to establish United States
federal control more comprehensive
than that now exercised by the inter-
state commerce commission. This jur-
isdiction might well be established
without infringing on the private rights
of your citizens. We have the same
questions between the federal govern

There Last Year on Passes.

The final report of the railroad COM
mission of Texas, issued last week, shows
that 637, 433, ,O15 passenger miles of trans
portation was paid for and 1894, ,187 miles
was Travelled on passes, or 13.45 per cent
of the total mileage. The commission
states that it believes the proportion of
free travel was greater than shown,
based on the lateness of inaugurating re-
ports on such matters and admission of
conductors that when traffic is heavy
they do not take time to make memoran-
durns of passes used on trains. The free
travel is classified as follows; Employees

Oklahoma City, Ok. Nov. 20.-secretary
Johnston of the chamber of commerce
has announced that only $4,000 more is
needed to begin work on the railroad ter
minal facilities here and that this will
be raised during the week. This makes it
reasonably certain that work will be
commenced by the first Of the year at
the latest.
All interest being centered in the COM
ing bond election for waterworks and
sewerage, the securing Of the balance
needed for the railroad terminals is meet
ing with a little difficulty; General Man
ager Ed Peckham of the Denver, Enid q
CIIlf was here one day last week and
prodded the local railroad people up Sc
verely, saying that his road was anxious
to begin building into Oklahoma City, but
that they wanted to see the terminal
matter closed up first. As leverage on
the local people the plan to build a road
from Guthrie to Shawnee is being
brought to bear, and Mr.. Peckham states
emphatically that if the Oklahoma CITY
folks do not make good pretty soon he
will begin on the proposed line.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Track in Bad Condition and Bump
ing Was Frequent.

Yesterdays track at New Orleans was
tbe worst of the year. There was bot
tom to 1t somewhere but before horse
hoof reached it it had to sink through
mass of thick, oozy mud that, once it got
hold. relinquished it's grip very slowly.
Naturally, horses tired and fioundered, with
the result of more or less humping. The
most serious case of this sort, according
to the judicial view, came up in the last
race. when Laura Hunter sweryed from
the middle of the track to the inner rail,
lust as Claremont was making his run,
on the inside, apparently the stronger horse
of the two. Both were we'll played good
things Laura Hunter by the western d.
vision. Claremont by the eastern crowd,
headed by Dave Gideon. Laura Hunter got
to the inside in time to cause Claremont
to pull up. There was no actual contact,
though there is no doubt Claremont's prog
ress was impeded, but 1t has been sort
of a precedent this year that where there
was no actual contact there was no foul.
Hence when Laura Hunter was disqualified
there was tremendous howl from those
affected.
Another feature was the poor race of
Floral Wreath, favorite for the third. She
was ridden by Apprentice Baird. Quite a
few horses have run very disappointingly
under him of late, and Floral Wreath
yesterday was no exception. Floral Wreath
was played bit, but went up considerably.
while Miss Gomez was backed down. The
latter went to the front early and re-

TO TEST BASE BALL LAW.
Shortstop Hulswitt May Sue the
PHILADELPHIA Club

A suit which Rudolph Hulswitt threatens
to bring against the Philadelphia club may
reopen the entire question of a club right
to sell or exchange ball player without his
consent.
1t will be recalled that President Shetts-
line exchanged Hulswitt for Catcher Alb
bott of Columbus. The presumption was
that the shortstop would interpose no OBJ
lection to leaving Philadelphia and joining
the Ohio club.
Within the last few days Mr.. Shettsline
received letter from Hulswitt, in which
the latter announced his refusal to go to
Columbus. He explained that he would re-
port to the Phillies as soon as he was told
where he was expected. 1
To friend Hulswitt, who is at present
working In Louisville, KY, writes further
details of his plans. He is acting under the
advice of counsel, he says, and takes the
position that there Is nothing in his con-
tract or in the national agreement that
gives the Philadelphia club the right to
sell or trade him against his will Huls-
witt bases his objection not on any I'M
willingness to play in the minor league, but
on strong antipathy to being sent to an
other city without having some voice In
the matter.
He wants an unconditional release so that
he can sign where he pleases, and contends
that refusal to grant him this consti-
tutes a virtual conspiracy to deprive him
of chance to earn a living where he de-

Countess New Love Affair.

The Berlin Lokal Anzeiger prints infor-
nation, asserting that it is from inside
sources at Dresden, according to which
DIR. Koerner's trip to Florence is the re-
suit of the report of two Saxon detectives
whom King Frederick Augustus sent to
Florence several weeks ago to watch the
behavior of the Countess Montignoso (the
kings former wife, News having reached
Dresden from high aristocratic circles of
Florence that Countess Montignoso was in
volved in a new love affair, the king de-
cided to investigate through detectives.
Their report and that of the German consul
at Florence was so damaging that the king
sent DIR. Koerner, with a view to bringing
about revision of the arrangements made
with the Countess Montignoso at the time
OF the divorce from the then crown prince
of Saxony. The king, the LokaI Anzsiger
says. is evidently determined to take the
little Princess Anna from her mother and
also discontinue or reduce the present al
lowance of $4,000 annually to the Countess
Montignoso.
