Respect for Patriotic Airs.
Music was furnished on the boat ana

Marine Band. The selections of the
band were largely of patriotic nature.
and it was noticeable that upon the
rendition of the national anthems the
foreigners in the party invariably arose

RaiIw1y Delegates
Get D0uvr1 TO Business
Executive Sessions Daily Now Until Close ot
Congress-AneriCans and Aliens Expect
to Exchange Valuable Information.

This morning the regular business ses-
sions of the five seDarate sections Of
the International Railway Congress were
called to order. From today until ad-
joLrnment of the Congress- on May 13,
these sessions will hold the attention
of the delegates during the mornings and
part OF the afternoons. The rest OF the
time viii be given over to social func-
tions.
All these section meetings are, OF
course, held behind closed doors. None
but delegates, supplied with proper
credentials, are admitted. The discus
sions are purely technical.
The great difference between the dele
gates from foreign countries and those
from America has caused considerable
comment. Many foreigners are govern
Hehl ofnceFS AID administrators. The
americans are active railroad men who
get out and accomplish things.
Situation in Europe
In most European countries the de-
ve1opment Of railroads has reached its
limit, and railroad officials know just
exactly what they can do and what they
cannot do. Consequently their atten-
tion is directed chiefly to administra-
tton Of stable corporations rather than
10 the development and extension of
Their railroad systems, as is the case
with American railroad men.
That these TWO classes of men can
learn much from each other is the opin-
ion Of everyone connected with the Con-
gress. The Americans expect to get
valuable Information concerning ad-
ninistration fror1 the Europeans while
the foreigners, particularly those rep
Fesentlng companies which have con
cesslons in South America and other
undeVeloped lands are looking to Amer
lea for new ideas in regard to exten-
sion.
Reception at White House.
After the adjournment of the different
sections today all the delegates will go

FREIGHTER DAKOTA
!. MAKES RECORD TRIP

The Great Northern Steamship COM
pany is out with a statement to the
effect that it's mammoth freighter Da-
kota has made the distance from the
North Pacific to the Atlantic in less
time than was required by the battle
ship Oregon in her wonderful trip dur
ing the Spanish war. The Oregon s
feat was regarded as little short OF
wonderful in view Of her size. The
Oregon went from Puget sound to
Cuba, while the Dakota s record was
made from New York, to Seattle. The
freighter, tho much larger and Of less
horsepower, made the trip with better
averages, it is claimed. For thirty
days the vessel made no stop and the
only stops during the entire trip were
at Coronel, Chile, for coal and at San
Francisco to discharge freight.
The Oregon required seventy nine
days and the Dakota sixty. The tota!
knots made by the Oregon was IA 81
and by the Dakota 14,S79.
