OPEN TEHUANTEPEC ROAD.
New Line Across Isthmus VIII Take
Business From Panama.

The San Francisco Argonaut In dis
cussing the opening of the Tehaunte-
pee railway in southern Mexico, and
of It's effect on Panama, says:
The opening of the Tehuantepec
railway Is announced as taking place
In a few months. The isthmus of
Tehuantepec is 1873 miles wide, thus
separating the waters of the Gulf and
Pacific. Across It there has been
built q standard gauge, double-track-
ed railway with its Gulf terminal at
Coatzacoalcos and its Pacific termi-
nal at Salina Cruz
The Mexican government has ex-
pended S40,000.000 on this road.
President Daz has converted the two
terminal ports into magnificent COM
mercial harbors, with 33 feet of water
and masonry docks provided with
travelling electric cranes reaching from
the vessels to the cars, with a swing
of over 100 feet. Warehouses and
cars are provided with removable
roofs to facilitate the transfer of
freight.
American Hawaiian Steamship COM
pany, partly owned in New York and
partly in San Francisco. 1t Is now
running its steamers with sugar from
Hawaii to the Atlantic seaboard. AS
soon as this isthmus railway is run
ming, its steamships will ply on a tri-
angular route between Tehuantepec,
San Francisco and Hawaii.
1t is said that the opening of this
railway will eliminate the Panama
railway as commercial proposition.
A New York journal says: 1T seems
likely that this will be witnessed with
great pleasure by the government at
Washington. The handling of COM
mercial freight has cost the canal
commission untold annoyance, and
has served materially to retard the
building of the canal" Is the Pana-
ma canal commission pleased with
the fact that 1t is to be relieved of the
annoyance" of handling some half a
million tons annually of freight by
American shippers and turning it over
to a railway constructed by a Mexi-
can government and operated by an
English company? This is further
proof, If proof be needed, how poorly
equipped our government is to oper-
ate transcontinental railways. Mexi-
co has no canal and no railway cross
ing the Tehuantepec isthmus. She
! takeC a single track English railway
and double-tracks it, thereby creating
a new artery of commerce, and
taking away the entire business of the
Panama railway On the other hand
the Panama canal commission, which
has single-track road, not only does
not double-track it to cope with in
creasing traffic, but it is unable to
carry its own freight to build its own
/ canal.

FRAUD is CHARGED.
Mrs Warner, OF Weston, Said 10 Have
Attempted to Substitute Il Will Civ
ing Her u Portion of j. W. Young
I'sinIn

What is alleged TO be an attempt
to introduce a fraudulent will into
the private papers belonging to the
estate of ]. w. Young, of Weston, was
made by Mrs. Mabel Warner, a niece
of Young, who was raised in the
Young family. in the Bank of Weston
yesterday afternoon.
During the afternoon Mrs. Warner
in company with her husband and her
brother, visited the Bank of Weston
and requested b. b. Hall, who is ad-
ministrator of the j. w. Young estate,
to let them see the private box in the
bank. containing the papers belonging
to the Young estate.
While looking over the papers Mrs,
Warner is said to have introduced a
will giving her the bulk of the prop
erty among the papers, but was de-
tected by Mr.. Hall, who was closely
watching the examination of the pa
pers.
BY the terms of the will introduced
by Mrs Warner she is given a large
part of the Young estate which is val
ued at several thousand dollars, while
by the terms Of the original legal
will on file with Mr.. Hall, the estate
was divided among the eight children
of Young, Mrs. DR.. Watts, of Idaho,
and seven brothers. Mrs. Warner be-
ing but niece, was left out of 1t en-
tirely.
She claims to be an adopted child
of ]. w. Young, it is said, and claims
that the will found by her among
the papers, is genuine. Mr.. Hall saw
the woman place the will among the
papers and has secured attorneys and
will make an effort to prevent the
execution of the bogus will.
