this agent-Mr. Delfin Sanchez, Mexican
citizen-with a subsidy of $25, 900, per kilo-
meter of road built but the work did not
progress well and the contract was abro-
gated on April %, 1888. Most of the work
under this contract was on the Pacific
side, that under the Learned contract being
on the Atlantic side. The government paid
$56291 as the value of the work done and
material furnished, and S110.225 as repre-
sentfng the contractors profits.
The president had been previously an
thorized by Congress to build the road,

German syndicate of banks at 10 per cent of

The government made a contract on
February q. 1892. with Messrs. Stanhope,
Hampson and Corthell to spend this amount
in an attempt to unite the rails The
amount was not sufficient and Mr.. STAN
hope himself afterward arranged for
enough to accomplish this out of a special
government loan, and he expended on the
work Sill ,0S5. In 1898 the government
entered into a partnership contract with

WASTE IN USING FUEL.
Startling Statements Made by Geo
Hgical Survey Experts.

Determined efforts are being made by the
director Of the geological survey to obtain
an adequate appropriation for carrying on
the fuel investigation that has already been
commenced by the government and which
has at least showed how much waste there
Is in the current modes of using fuel. 1t is
hard to tell without further investigation
just how the waste can best be checked, but
1t has been ascertained that the United
States spent last year for fuel 81. 500. coo coo
The consumption is steadily increasing and
with the prospect of strike and with the
exhaustion of the American ceal mines
within an appreciable time. every effort is
being made to point out the best methods of
economy The Senate has recently received
reports from the experts OF the survey on
the fuel investigation conducted far and
the statements contained in the report are
startling.
These statements are that the losses in
the utilization of fuel for the development
of power, light and heat under existing
conditions are so great that in ton of coal
consumed In an ordinary manufacturing
plant less than 5 per cent of the total
energy is available for the actual work of
manufacturing: that In an ordinary locomo-
tive only from to 8 per cent of the fuel
energy Is obtained for pulling the train;
that In dwelling houses ordinarily not more
than one-seventh of ] per cent of the fuel
energy Is actually transformed into electric
light; that gases from the blast furnaces of
the country are now lost In the atmosphere
that would yield continuously, IL properly
utilized. more than 100000 horsepower,
and that by-products might be saved from
the 100000 tons of coal which are now
converted into coke that would have an ag-
gregate yearly value much greater than that
of the coke itself. These by-products would
include ammonium sulphate sufficient to
fertilize our farms, creosote for the preser-
walton OF timber and pitch enough for
briquetting slack Goals, roofing houses and
repairing some of our roads.
The work of investigation viii necessarily
be expensive. 1t is estimated that S250.0o0
will be needed to properly carry on the
work But compared with the immense ma
tional fuel BILL this els considered a very
small item The results obtained at the st.

able. and az the work can be organized on a
more extensive scale the data obtained VIII

THE TEHUANTEPEC RAILWAY.
Mr.. Corthell Corrects a Statement
Made by Mr.. W. E. Curtis.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In an article entitled Joining the
Oceans In The Star Of April 7, written by
William E. Curtis, there are some state
ments which are erroneous and, as they
appear. are very damaging to myself and
associates. The paragraph referred to Is
as follows:
Then J. II. Hampson of Washington.
d. c., L. L. Corthen of Chicago and Chan
dos s. Stanhope of London obtained con-
cesslon. They spent s13. 300. 600, which had
been borrowed by the Mexican government.
and then quit with the work two-thirds
DONE
The facts are as stated in an article
which 1 wrote for the Railroad Gazette
and which appeared In the issue of that
journal on July 15, 1904. The facts in
this article were furnished me by the min
ister of communications of the Mexican
government and you can rely upon them
j send you copy tnclosed. From this you
will see that what my associates and my
self did was to attempt to connect the
rails across the Tehuantepec isthmus, ex-
pending upon the work two million dol
lars ($2.000,000) in silver, Instead of tbir-
teen million three hundred thousand dol
lars (s13, 100000 gold, as stated by Mr..
Curtis. The funds at our disposal were
not sufficient to connect the rails and one
of my associates, Mr.. Stanhope, obtained
through a German bank, on the security of
the Mexican government, 81, III ,035, which
was sufficient to unite the rails.
/ would like very much to have Won
rectify the statements made by Mr.. Cur
tbs. He Is my personal friend and am
sure he had no intention of saying anything
that would be damaging to me- He was
simply inaccurate, but you will understand
that the erroneous statements should be
corrected. and 1 would ask you to kindly
do 1t at your early convenience.

The extract from the article by Mr. Cor
thell In the Railroad Gazette. to which he
refers in his letter. Is as follows:
After several extensions and many fall
ures to raise the money the grant to La

eminent on May 81, 1872. In the mean
time Mr.. Edward Learned of New York

COATZACOALCOS. Mexico.
April TO- 1906.
The east s!ors Of the Sierra Madres
on the Is,hmus Of Tehuantepec and in
other parts OF southern Mexico is more
tropical in appearance than the west coast.
After crossing the great divide and espe-
cialy from Santa Lucretia down to Coat
zacOalcos the terminus OF the Tehuantepec
road on the Gulf Of Mexico, both sides OF
the track are hemed in by green CULTS of
tangled vegetation which seem as II they
were impcnetrable. and he must be a bold
man who makes the first trail through
them. The most stately palms you ever
saw rise from the midst OF other foliage

and SO expensive To send them to market
The resources OF tropical Mexico In that
particular are very rich.
The junRles are hled with chatterinz
birds and we are told that thousands OF
monkeys may be found further inland but
they have been frightened away from the
track. Occasionally the jungles which
mark the courses OF streams and MI the
low. damp bottom lands are divided by
wide belts Of higher ground covered with
Luxurious grass which IS said to be very
nutritious The cattle which may be seen
in large herds wherever you may look are
small but sleek. The ranches are fenced
with wire and the posts are plum and
peach trees, most OF which are In bloom

There Is no evidence that the negroes
were guilty of any crime. Their death was
not the result of any particular crime they
had done; 1t was not because of any mar
ticular hatred against them as individuals
1t was the vengeance of the whites unon
the blacks.
In Springfield there have been several
murders of white men by negroes Follow
ing these came the presentation of The
CHAasman," which further incensed the
WHITES against the blacks. Then came the
assault of white woman by two black
men Friday night and the mob formed

militia were ON the way TO Springfield from
various parts of Missouri. The first of
these companies arrived this evening, and
1t was followed during the night at inter-
walls by others.
Usual Reward Offered.
In addition to sending soldiers to guard
against further violation OF the law, Gov.
Folk took quick action to prosecute the
leaders of Saturday nights mob. The gov
ernor authorized reward of 500 each for
the arrest and conviction of members of
the mob. This is the limit allowed by law
In addition, he instructed Rush Lake, as
sistant attorney general, to go to SPRING
field at once to aid in the ferreting out and
prosecuting of the leaders in Saturday
nights work.
Will Allen. negro, charged with the
murder of o. NJ. Rouark last January, but
protesting innocence, was taken from Jail
early yesterday morning by the mob that
lynched Duncan and Copeland before mid
night Allen was hanged In the public
square to the same electric tower that had

Mr.. McNab's Experience.

Mr.. McNab, the engineer In charge of the
harbor works at Salina Cruz, says that ne
has tried Chinese Japanese. Koreans, ia
maica negroes and several races of Mexl-
can poems. but has found that the members
OF the Zapoteca tribe Of natives on the
isthmus> and in southern Oaxaca are by far
the best of all. Mr.. McNab declares that
they are the finest laborers he has ever
known either in Europe America, and
that they have no superiors among the
working class of any nation for intelli-
gence. industry, endurance. temperate ha5-
its and general reliability. They can al
ways be depended upon, but they are too
independent to be handled easily and they
demand higher wages than are usually paid
ordinary labor. Those now employed on
the harbor works receive S1.J0 and 81 Sill
yer a day, while other men on the same
work receive from rs cents to $3.50 Mr.
McNab says that the Jamaica negroes are
entirely worthless. Several gangs of ko-
reans have been brought over, but they are
not SO good as the Japanese Sr Chinese
Zapoteca Indians were very difficult to OBJ
tain at first, but now that they know the
ropes and are sure OF good treatment they
are coming down voluntarily.

generally prevails at this time of the

aggravating just now when "spring

does it profit a city to carefully clean
