great care Is given to the selection of both
the camels which carry the valuable mer-
chandise and the men who accompany

known as the mehari is seldom met with In
northern Tripolt. The finest male draught-
camels. the jamal. costing from $50 to $50
apiece, with a carrying capacity of about
three hundredwaght. are used for trans

must be trustworthy traders. and shrewd
diplomats of no small caifber. Many of
the suitans and chiefs. particularly the
Touaregs, through whose territories lie the
garfia routes exact not only homage but
tribute from the garfia sheiks. To bring
this tribute within reasonable sum and
secure a safe-conduct requires extraordi-
nary skill and tact. The opportunities for
dishonesty afforded the garfia men are
many. and occasionally men and goods are
never heard from again.

PHILIPPINE RAILROADS.
Lines Planned by the Government
Needs of the Tropics.

From Casters Magazine.
BY far the most important move thus
far made in the Philippines by the Ameri-
can government has been the awarding of
concessions for the construction Of certain
railway lines on the principal islands of
the archipelago.
The Islands as a whole are extremely
fertile. 1t Is estimated that the amount
Of timber in the archipelago is more than
double the amount in the states of Oregon
and Washington together; but adequate
means OF transportation were entirely lack
Ing. The government plans provide for
railroads on four of the principal islands
There is only one steam railway now In
operation in the Philippines, running from
Manila to Dagupan, on the Island of Luzon.
Reports from this road show that about
siXty-six per cent OF the total revenue l.
derived from passengers and thirty-four
per cent from freight. The freight, how
ever. is increasing.
Railways are operated very economically
In the orient. largely on account of the low
cost of labor. operating expenses on the
existing line averaging only about forty
five per cent of the gross receipts.
The fares for passengers are generally
much lower than in the United States, and
traffic Is divided Into three classes Fully
rinety-hve per cent of the traffic Is third
class. and While 1t now seems necessary to
have first-claSS. as a small percentage OF
foreigners and educated natives object to
riding with the poorer class of natives,
the second-class should be done away with
altogether.
Freight rates in the Philippines are high
er than those prevailing In the United
States. ranging from S. to $40 per ton for
a 1O0-mile haul. Another interesting fact
is that large freight cars do not pay, as an
average carload is only about four tons,
this accounting for the necessity of high
freight rate.
The Chinese merchants are the largest
shippers and by far the best business men
In the islands outside of very few prom
clusively an import and export business.
The lines which are at present under
consideration are narrow gauge railways
with three foot six inch track, and seem
fairly well suited to the requirements of
the island traffic. They follow the low
lands wherever possible and have fairly
easy grades and curvature. It Is believed
that in no case will the grades exceed ] y
per cent and that only for ineonsiderable
portions of the line.
Probably the greatest difficulty which
will have to be met is the extremely
heavy rainfall during certain portions OF
the year. AS much ten inches of rain
has been known to fall within day aud
the average rainfall for the year Is about
100 inches.
for flood openings of all kinds 1t being
estimated that certain lines will require
fully three per cent of the total mileage to
be allowed for these flood openings In the
way of cu1verts, bridges and trestles. The
construction itself will not be difficult, as
there Is scarcely any portion of the line
in which steam shovels cannot be worked.

WINDY CITY MENACED.
Strike of Nine Men May Throw City
in Darkness

CHICAGO. July mime men threaten to
tie up the shipping interests of this port
and 1t is said that unless they can be paci-
fed within the next forty-eight hours 1t Is
probable that not a single vessel may be
able to move out of the Chicago river. This
will be due to the fact that 1t may become
impossible to swing many of the bridges
that are operated by electricity. The nine
men are members of the Electrical Work
ers' Union. Their pay has been cut down.
Every electrician employed by tho city
threatens to quit work. This would place
the city In darkness.
Prior to January / OF this year the men
were paid double time for overtime After
that the officials of the city cut Ii down to
time and 3ne-half
