WASHINGTON, Jan. 1T laugh at

to-day by Senator Thomas c. Platt of
New York when his attention was
called to the action which the Postal
Progress League threatens to take to
have him enjoined by the Supreme
Court Of the United States from exer-
cising his duties as Senator.
NO court would take cognizance OF
such a petition as this league pre-
pared" continued Senator Platt. They
would be laughed out of court. Nor
would the Senate take action. 1t is all
nonsense"
rs it true that your position as
president of the United States Express
Company prevents your serving the
people as Senator?'
Il suppose the men who are max
ing this noise think so, but that is only
a matter of opinion. I think that one
position does not interfere with the
other, and / try to do my duty as SEN
ator at all times Still some persons

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-As a director for

PARIS, Jan. 14-Information from
Brussels reaching the highest quarters
here shows it is the extensive interests
of King Leopold in the Canton Han
kow Railroad which have passed into
the hands of representatives OF j..
Pierpont Morgan of New York.
Negotiations had been going on for
some time, as it was contemplated TO
combine French, Belgian and Ameri-
can interests so as to eventually cover
the Franco Belgian concession for
line from Peking to Hankow, thus
making a continuous trunk line from
Peking to Canton, over $500 miles, cut
ting 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 transcontinental lines connecting
New York and San Francisco.
That portion of the project relating
to Peking and Hankow is still in abey-
ance, but the French view appears
favorable to combining the interests
so as to make a continuous route from
the capital to the great emporium in
the south. That portion relating to
the HankowCanton Railroad is consid-
fer of the interests of which the per-
sonal holdings OF King Leopold make
up the largest part to Morgan This
branch of the negotiations was con-
Quoted at Brussels.
The concession of the Hankow-Can-
ton Railroad was originally American
and then passed under Belgian con-
troll. The line is about 1900 miles long
and the extension to Peking will be
about 1400 miles a total of 2600 miles,
without counting the extensive spurs
toward Kiaochau and Tientsin and
Shanghai
Reports received from China show
there is much native agitation against
foreign railroad enterprises and the
authorities here fear this may inter-
fere with the proper development of
French, Belgian and American inter-
ests. The native opposition is not con-
fined to the ignorant classes. 1t in
cludes Chinese capitalists who are in
terested in the earnings of the rail-
roads. These have combined with the
Portuguese on the line from Canton
to Macao. They recently held vio-
lent meeting in Buddhist temple at
Canton for the purpose of opposing
foreign control of the railroads.

AT meeting of the club this after

Palmer suggested as a remedy marble

might be used without cloth and
could always be kept perfectly clean.
The linen napkin. she declared, should
be replaced by one of paper.

with his Excellency and with most Of
the nobility of the United Kingdom
and to have particularly good relations
with Mr.. Vincent Cochran, the man
who purchased the Lord Lieutenant's s

Lord Lurgan referred to the report
as an absurd and ridiculous insinua-

said.
Mr.. O'Callaghan, financial secretary

threatened with physical chastisement
should he attempt to enter them.
The San Francisco call., 1905-01-15

The trouble began several weeks ago
on the division between Harrisburg and
Altoona, Pa, when the company took
off the extra firemen on the heavy
freight trains. Other employees were
laid off and, although it was not eX-
pected that there would be any trouble,
the situation began to grow critical
when the men throughout the system
started to name their grievances, end
ing in beginning their vote directly on
the strike question two days ago.
AS the affair stands now, fully 100000
men are involved and should they vote
for strike the entire system from New
York to Chicago may be tied up None
of them will discuss the affair and rail-
road officials are silent in regard to the
possibility Of a general tie up. The
polls will remain open until tomorrow
evening.
In the Pittsburg district it is said
the vote will show three to one against
a strike.
