Railroad Men Have Rumor
That the Big Companies
Will Consolidate.
REASON GIVEN II TO REDUCT
THE EXPENSES AND SIM
PLIFY BUSINESS.

IL Is rumored I'm railroad circles
that under the new interstate COM
merce law several OF the leading ex-
press companies of the country
may md II to their advantage Ia
consolidate their interests SO that q
single express compan will be unable
to receive goods at poiats oa the
Atlantic seaboard. and deliver the m
to consignses on the Pacific coast.
1t is argued that such an enlarge.
ment OF territory covered oy one ex-
press company would greatly sim.
plify the business. which, together
with the reduction In rates that
would probably follow the singl,
charge for the service rendered
would be looked upon with far more
favor by the genera public than the
complicated methods that are N
vogue at present.
Each OF the leading express com.
panies has one OF more oifices Iu
nearly all the principal cities OF th.
country, and IL is pointed out tina,
by merging their interests, an enor.
nous saving would be mado I'm IN,
way OF rent and the salaries of OF
fcials and employees. as under tn,
consolidated plan only one office aad
one set of officials and employe.
would be required In each city.
The mileage OF the express com
\panies I'm this country is much great
Der than the $4,000 miles covere,
by the steam railroads for they op
crate over ocean and river routes OF
travel. The aggregate gross busines.
OF these concerns annually is report
ed TO be more than 100000, 900
and they employ upward of $4,000
men.

PIONSH,r FROM BATTING
NELSON At GOLDTIEID.

Goalfe,d N"s.. Sept A. Battling
Nelson lost today's fight by fouiing
Joe Cans In the forty-secoI.d round
OF the best and longest fight seen in
many years. Both mea were tired
when the fight ended. bat Cans was
ahead on points and had smashed
and cut Nelson all through the fight
without being seriously hurt himself
Shortly after the forty-secoao round
began the men were In their usasl
clinch. Nelson had his head on
Gins shoulder and his arm down.
Several times he hit Cans be:nw the
belt. apparently feeling for vital
spot. Al last he drew back h right
arm and hit Cans a vicions blow
square In the groin. The colored boy
sank To his knees and rolled lvcr on
his back. Referee Siier without hes
itation ordered Nelson to hi. corner
and awarded the fight To Cams on a
foul.
Siler's decision received almost
unanimous approval. The foul play
was so obvious that not even men
who had bet on Nelson could say
that II had not been committed. All
through the long contest Nelson had
emuloyed rough tactics. He repeat
edly bntted Cans. and had to have
his head hauled away by the ref

Political Compromise Appa-

AND HE MAY HAVE TO

HAVANA, sept. Peace tarough
political compromises Is the sole top
ic of conversation today In all the
best informed circles, where Il is
said that this Is the only way OF
bringing about n settlement OF Gu
ba's International troubles.
Therefore. there IL genral dis
position not TO agree with the stand
taken by President Palma, that the
government should not treat with
the insurgents upon the basis or ar
ranging IA compromise an dthe pres
idont is understood to have already
modified his attitude to the extent
that he has no objection to private
negotiations on the subject.
A common expression heard today
Is the war began through differences
between the political parties. and
therefore they must be the ones who
settle in the most prompt and effect
i've manner possibly TO save the dig
nifty aud sovorinty OF the republic
and avert further bloodshed.
1t is believed that beyond any
doubt an attempt TO reach peace
through some compromise will now
be made.
