CHINESE RAILROAD WORK.
London Brought Within Twelve Day
of Pekfn


Much interest Is being s~lvwn in the
development of the port of Tsuruga
on the west coast of Japan. 1t IS onS
of the supports of Osaka, distant
by rail about 113 miles from hoDe,
and is geographically better situated
than any other port in Japan to be
the distributing centre of the trade
with Siberia, as it affords the 1nost
direct line of communication be9#een
the Yokohama and Kobe districts and
V~ladivostok. At present 1t is con-
nected by a branch line OF thirty
miles with the main government rail
way at Maibara, but If this port is to
continue It's development, better rail
way connections are absolutely nee
essary. A direct line from Tokyo to
Tsuruga would reduce the distance
by one-half, and would also open
zip the provinces of Shinao and Mino,
the development of which has here.
tofore been retarded by lack of tran
sit facilities.
Tsuruga is situated on Wakasa
bay, and has a depth of water of
from eleven to fifteen fathoms inside
the harbor limits. 1t is about 500
miles south iof Vladivostok, with
which it is connected by two lines of
steamships, one Russian and one Jap
anese. The. Russian East Asia
Steamship Company has a weekly
service, making the voyage in about
~thirty-eight hours, ten hours less
than the Japanese line, and it is now
contemplating a bi-weekly one to
connect with the express trains to
Europe. The trade from Tsuruga
to V~ladivostok consists chiefly of
fruit and vegetables, and, since the
opening of this route, has largely
increased in value, thereby helping
the farming industry in adjoining
provinces.
At present the imports from Rus
STA to Tsuruga are insignificant, the
railroads not. yet being in good work
ing order, but they propose to make
a strong effort to increase the trade
from Vladivostok to Japan in such
articles as beans and bean products,
hides, bones, wheat, butter, etc. In
1905 the Standard Oil Company first
made direct shipment from America
to Tsuruga, of kerosene oil, which
formerly came to Kobe. Since the
restoration of peace the Russians are
~frequenting this port in large num-
bers, and their government is con
templating opening a consulate there
A school for teaching the Russian
language and commercial practice to
the Japanese is already established in
Tsuruga.

message to Congress that will, | fear de-
feat the quick results that otherwise
might have been reached by the commits
sion in the investigation which the reso-
luton provides. His message conveys to
the guilty parties doubt as to its
power to compel the production of books
and papers. OF course they will take adj
vantage of this doubt, and urge it against
every step the commission may take :"
OF the Presidents objection that If the
investigation were carried on the full ex-
tent of its provisions it might cause inn

of the unlawful conspiracy, Mr.. Gillespie
said:
Il must say that l do not think any of
these high criminals are trembling in
their boots from fear of Imprisonment as
things are now, and If all of them should
escape imprisonment by rushing to the
commission and unbosoming themselves,
We would see just as many frenzied
financiers in jail as If no investigation
had been held. Besides we ought TO give
the commission the benefit of the doubt
on the question that they. officials of the
government, are interested in the enforce
ment of criminal laws, and that they
would turn a criminal loose unless such
were necessary in order to get the truth.
The truth, the whole truth, and nothing
but the truth, is what Congress and the
country demands of this investigation

MAY BUILD TO PITTsRURe.
Recent Purchase May Lead to Building
of New Line BY Erie.

Pittsburg, March 9.-Followlng the an
nounced purchase of the Lake Erie and
Pittsburg railroad by the Vanderbilt and
Pennsylvania interests, it is reported to-
night that the deal may lead to a rupture
between the Erie and Pittsburg and Lake
Erie railroads, and the building of a new
line into Pittsburg by the Erie.
The Lake Erie now uses the Erie from
Youngstown to Cleveland, and the Erie
uses the Lake Erie from Youngstown to
Pittsburg. A prominent railroad official
tonight said that IL the Lake Erie gets
its own line or joint line with the Penn
sylyaHia from Youngstown 10 Cleveland
or to a point on the Lake Shore near
Cleveland, the Erie which will then lose
the Lake Erie traffic from Pittsburg, will
likely retaliate by breaking away from
the Lake Erie and getting into Pittsburg
by its own line. or by the, use of the
tracks of some other road.

ROBBINS TELLS WHY
PRESIDENT ACTED
He and Mitchell Asked Him TO
Step In
OPERATORS GET TOGETHER
Pittsbura Operators and Those of the
Middle Western States Will Be In
Accord at indianapolis
Meeting.

Pittsburg, March 10.-When the coal
operators of the Pittsburg district to the
general conference at Indianapolis on
March 49, with the operators of Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois, they will take a
stand as a body. This action was de-
termined at the meeting called by Frances
l.. Robbins and which was held in this
city today. There were about 50 present.
and after the meeting it was ANNOUNCED
that the wage schedule had not been
discussed. and the only action taken was
the adoption of a resolution to meet the
operators from Indiana, Illinois and Ohio
at the Hotel Claypool, indianapolis, at
the time set.
Tonight, however, it was learned that
there was somewhat of a sensation sprung
during the meeting. From a source con-
sidered as trustworthyit is learned that
a demand was made OF Mr.. Robbins who
was presiding, that an explanation be
made of how President Roosevelt came TO
/ enlist in the pending controversy be-
tween the miners and operators.
The demand, 1t is said, was made by
| George b. Magoon. vice president and
general manager of the Pittsburg and
I Westmoreland Coal company, one of the
largest of the independent coal eompa-
MES.
Mr.. Robbins said the whole matter was
accomplished as a result of a conference
with John Mitchell while they were in
New York. The situation was serious
and both agreed that it was necessary
to get another meeting of the interstate
conference
Mr. Robbins. explaining further said
Mr.. Mitchell went to the long distance
telephone and called up the President at
the White House, After explaining the
status of the matter to him, he suggested
that he write letter to Mr.. Robbins,
urging that a new conference be called.
He also asked the President to talk the
matter over with Robbins and without
changing the call Mr. Robbins went on
the line and arranged for the letter to
be written which would be the basis for
the second call of the general conference.
This was on Monday, February a. and
the following day. February 25, Mr.. Rob-
bins received the letter from President
Roosevelt and the call of another conven-
ton followed. This Mr. Robbins explain
ed was the story of the Presidents inter-
vention. One of the strongest points
made at today's conference. it was also
said tonight, was against any settlement
for more than single year. The longer
term was held to be against the interest
Of the producers, who have to bear the
variations of coal markets with fixed
cost of mining.
1t was stated by coal operators them
selves that a partial adjustment of the
dispute at Indianapolis or the signing of
the wage agreement by the Pittsburg Coal
company with the rest of the operators
holding back could mean but one thing,
and that was the dissolution of interstate
agreement. and with 1t a general decline
OF the power of the United Mine Work
ers, which would then have many districts
and states to settle with separately and
be kept In a continual suite of trouble.
