BIG TROLLEY SYSTEM.
Proposed Line From Gettysburg to
Washington,

According to a dispatch from Westmin-
ster. Md. last night a project has been
quietly worked up for the construction of a
trolley line from that city to point be-
tween Winfield and Taylorsville, In the
southern section OF the county, to connect
with li.-e from Gettysburg. Pa. to Wash
ington, ID C. James W. LIE Gore OF Le-
gore, Frederick county, is at the head of
these projects and has been for several
years perfecting plan for far-reacbing
system of trolley lines and manufacturing
industries, the means for producing the
power necessary to operate the system be-
ing the construction Of dam across the
Monocacy river. where 1t breaks through
Rocky Ridge. The site is owned by Mr. Lee
Gore.
At the point mentioned the Monocacy
passes through narrow gorge, where a
dam fifty feet high can be constructed at
comparatively little expense and a water
power of tremendous capacity obtained.
The route proposed for the main line of
the projected trolley system passes from
Gettysburg to Emmitsburg, then to Rocky
Ridge and into this county not far from
Taylorsyilie: thence on to Washington
through Woodbine and Howard county.
Yesterday Mr.. LIE Gore. accompanied by
the engineer in charge Of the surveys,
and by prominent resident OF this city,
passed over the route upon which the
construction OF the branch from this city
Is contemplated and found 1t well suited
to the purpose. 1t passes for the most
part through the Morgan Run valley, and
the gentleman who accompanied Mr. LIE
Gore states that the purpose is to put the
road under contract and have 1t graded
by the end of the year.
The project has been SO quietly planned
that 1t Is only known to few residents
of this city who are men of wealth and
interested in its success. The purpose Is
to build loop of the road through the
nNyn n
terstown to connect with the Glyndon
and Baltimore road.

LABOR UP IN ARMS
OPPOSED TO ORDER AFFECTING
CHINESE IMMIGRATIoN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. July 5.-Organ-
lied labor here is up in arms over the Pres
ident's action in connection with the Chi
nese exclusion act. The conditions are said
to approach the nature of an uprising in
the ranks of the workingmen, who are in
teresting other people in the matter. The
Presidents order is declared to be in effect
the opening of the sea doors of this slope
to almost unlimited Chinese immigration.
Under the cloak of students. artists, mer-
chants travelling for pleasure and other
guises. 1t is believed Monaghan laborers
will flock to these shores with certificates
from American consuls who have but scant
means of ascertaining whether the appli-
cants are telling the truth as to their real
status. 1t is known here that when Chi
nese laborers have come to this country in
the past they have concentrated at several
points. to the great detriment of American
workmen.
The matter is viewed here in the light of
real yellow peril" and 1t is said Mr..
Samuel Gompers. president of the American
Fedora ton of Labor, has been appealed to
to file a strong protest with the President
against his order.
Labor officials here declined to discuss
the matter.

From the London Saturday Review.
Lord Rosebery talked Of secondhand
books and secondhand booksellers but not
in the sense understood by real lovers OF
books. as were the old book collectors and
the old booksellers. That Is a race grad
ualiy but apparently very sureiydy out In
this country. 1t is lamentabie sign Of
the times. for the care for old and rare
books is test of true culture which can
not fail. No uncuitivated soul could take
an interest In old books. but he might In
pictures and china. Their external attrac-
ton is greater How many now among our
greater mobiles collect books? Yet II Is pre-
cisely their fathers that built up the great
libraries Ia the past. They' made the hbra-
ries and their sons sell them. Ask Mr..
Quaritch and Mr.. Southeran whence come
the purchasers of rare books today? Not
from this country. The American million
aire can put the British millionaire to the
blush; he could. that Is. II the British mill
li0aalre knew enough to understand what
there was TO blush about.
