The Southern Pacific Railway COM

debt of $3.50, 100000. but will probably
not issue, it is said, more than $72,-
100000 of that amount during the next
two or three years.
This company was organized about
two years ago by a merger of the Sou

These merged roads have, in the ag-

them with the new securities which
bear but four per cent interest.

Wives Tuto. This taken in connection
with the reactionary tendencies mani
tested in dealing not only with the gov

of Italy is causing apprehension mere:
"Brigands at the Gates of Rome!
Such was the startling phrase that
headed a column in one of the Italian
papers recently. That there are bril-
gands still left in this lovely land is
brought home to newspaper readers at
intervals. This irrepressble parsonage
was a noteworthy element of the trav-
eler's experience in Italy. No English
account of travels in the sunny south
was complete unless it had one or more
encounters with brigands to lend spice.
The brigand of olden days was an
adventurous, picturesquely dressed
thief and cut-throat, who became the
theme of songs sung by timid young
girls, and the hero of romanceS over
which they pondered with delight.
These have died out; and the memory
of them Is only awakened in the melo-
dramas of some cheap theater, or in the
music of some belated but melodious
old opera
This particular brigandage at seven
miles distance from Rome, had nothing
that was picturesque, and little that
was exciting about 1t. Its only interest
depends upon it's proximity to Rome.
A certain Signor de Angels, driving in
a tiny trap to the farm "Pisana" to
superintend the work of the laborers,
was stopped at 300 yards distance from
this farm.
"Money!-quattrini" shouted the
raucous voice from the shelter of the
large oak overhanging the road, and
the appeal was persuasvely backed up
by the ferocious- looking character who
had uttered it pointing a double-bar-
relied gun at De Angels. The latter
remembered that he was unarmed, that
his horse could not be driven at a rapid
pace; and, obeying the suggestions of
prudence, he pulled out his pocketbook
and threw down a $40 bill on the
ground in the direction of the ugly,
ragged, grissly-b bearded individual.
1.-The pocketbook ALSO" said the man
in the thcket. De Angels pleaded that
the rest of it's contents was matter of
no use to any one but the owner. 1.-THE
pocketbook!" repeated the brigand,
with an insistency not to be denied; so
the pocketbook followed the ten-dollar
note first given; it contained another
ten-dolar note. "Now go ahead, and
don't look behind you" was the final
recommendation of the robber to the
robbed. The robbed followed instruc-
tions.

POPE REFUSES TO
ACCEPT FRENAHACT
DECLINES TO AFFIRM CHURCH
SEPARATION MEASURE
Law Institutes a "CuIt Association "
and in Every Parish Catholics
Are Subject to Expulsion
From the Church

BY A. w. PEARCE

Special to The Herald.
ROME, Aug. 25.-The pope's ency-
clicaI is fiat declination to accept the
terms of the French separation act.
The issue concerns parish admnistra-
ton. The law requires that "cult as
sociation,'' practically board of trus-
tees shall be established in each par
ish. This board is made responsible for
the maintenance of worship and in gem
eral for all the actions of the church
In every parish in France Catholics
will be subject to ejectment from the
churches. Moreover, the property OF
such churches reverts to the communes.
Article of the separation act says:
"In default of any association to take
over the property of an establishment
of public worship. this property will be
assigned by decree to the town estab-
lishments of charity and beneficence
situated within the territorial limits of
the ecclesiastical district in question" "
The pope's encyclical leaves every
commune free to apply the resources of
recalcitrant churches to the poor fund
and hospitals. The law has retarded
the march of confsca tion by requiring
I'm every case a decree of court. The
hope of Plus X. is believed to be that
the enforcement Of the act Will make
so much trouble that the government
Will be led to adopt amendments ac-
ceptable to the church. The encyclical,
indeed, contains a hint that the passive
resistance enjoined upon French Catho-
lies is tactical in character

CALCUTTA, Aug. 25.-According to
reports received here two European
missionaries the Rev. Mr.. Hewitt and
the Rev. Mr.. Shaul, with four ladies'
and Bengal female teacher. were at
tackled at Santipur station, in Bengal,
recently by a crowd of young native
students. The students had assembled
to welcome Bepin Behari Pal, who was
coming to lecture on Sivaji, and seeing
the Bengali teacher, who was i'll with
fever, it was suggested that she was
being forcibly carried off.
The students rushed at the party of
Europeans, and in the scuffle both the
missionaries were wounded.
The magistrate went to Santipur by
the next train and arrested four of the
culprits ordering the Sivaji meeting
to be stopped.
The students have now begged for
pardon land promised not to join in
any more Sivaji demonstrations They
have also agreed to give 300 rupees to

is also made that it is intended to ap-
ply to Scotland solution of the land
problem which has been discredited in
Ireland. Thirty or forty years ago it
was believed that the Irish tenant
farmer needed nothing but fixity of
tenure and a fair rent. He got these
privileges at a considerable price to
the community, but the land problem
was not solved. 1t was discovered that
for economic salvation he needed to be

Land Commission Next

AS understood under the terms OF the
new measure the government proposes
to set up land commission, in place
of the Crofters' commission and the
congested districts board. This land
commission may create small holdings
at rent below $3.50, and fix the rent of
the holder, who may not be displaced,
save for failure to pay the rent. That
involves a land court with absolute
fixity of tenure. The claim is also made
that by this Legislation it will be possi-
BILE to retain in Scotland thousands of
able-b bodied and capable men and wo-
men who are being annually exported
to Canada, but students of general con-
ditons and emigration deny this.
The Glasgow Herald, after lamenting
the lack of sagacity displayed in the
making of investments in the Fresno
mine in the state of California, con-
cludes it's moralizing in the following
interesting fashion:
1.-THE moral of the story Of the Fres-
no mine is so obvious that no particular
purpose would be served by dwelling
upon 1t. 1t is a moral that Glasgow in
vestors have had brought home to them
by bitter experience more than once in
the past thirty or forty years-the
Emma mine and the Glasgow Wes-
tralian company provide conspicuous
examples"

COPENHAGEN. Aug. 25.-It is prob
able that the recent visit of members
of Iceland's parliament, the AlthinG,
Will soon result in changes respecting
the relations between Denmark and
Iceland. Icelanders' desire is for the
adoption of bills stating that the Dan
ish government and the rigsdag never
can interfere with the interior affairs
of Iceland. They want a bill specifying
all the common affairs of the two
countries.
Part of the Icelanders want also that
King Frederick's title shall be king of
Denmark and Iceland, and they also
want to consider the relations between
Denmark and Iceland as a union They
say, I'VE will conserve a common king

He has been in control-practicall

has them both now on dividend bases

imagined would be possible even SO
short a time ago as five years.
Union Pacific is now paying divi-
dends at the rate of 10 per cent per
annum and the Southern Pacific is
paying dividends on it's common stock
at the rate of per cent per annum.
Hartman sees that he has done about
all that he can reasonably expect with
these properties for the present and
he is now devoting his attention to
becoming an even greater railroad
