A HEAVY PLOT.

once upon a time IN the little VIII
lage Of JOrdans Crossing lived Josiah
Stubbs. 4 prosperous miller who had
beautiful daughter Gwendoline.
Next 10 his daughter Josiah treasured
an old bedstead. This was a family
heirloom. Among the many sultOrs for
his daughters hand was a brawny
blacksmith Arthur Trewelan. They
we're happy IN their early courtship
hut clouds descending upon Josiah
threatened to mar the future lives OF
the young people.
The first shadow was the appear
suce in the village OF Pearsford Sope
a lord and promoter. He had dlscoN-
cred the secret OF making denatural-
ized alcohol from the pulp ~ sugar
heets on a former visit 10 the village
no had secured a large part Of pros
ueritv. Sopes plot now was TO obtain
rosssssion Of the Stubb's farm TO grow
these beets and for the further pur-
nose Of securing financial backing In
the village Josiah. however, remem-
herring his former experience was sus-
picious of the promoter Having been
scorned Sope now approaches Squire
Ketteson the wealthiest and "crusti-
est" native. whose hatred for Josiah
was matter Of common knowledge.
Kettleson enters into a plat with Sope
II break josiahs heart by obtaining
possession Of the old bedstead, the
most treasured heirloom in the Stubs
family This KettleSon can do for he
holds mortgage on the bedstead Sc
cured IN an election bet years before.
Kettltson agrees TO foreclose the mort
gage and advance Sope money with
which 10 purchase the bedstead AZ the
auction. kcttleson had not foreclosed
before because Josiah was so popular
IN the village that nobody would bid
nm the bedstead had il been offered at
auction. The plot thickens!

PURCHASE OF COAL LAND.
Secretary Taft Urges an Appropria-
ton of $4,000.

Secretary Taft appeared before the House
committee on insular affairs today to ex-
plain a pending bill for the purchase OF
coal lands to enable the United States 10
mine fuel for its own use in the Tar east.
An appropriation of $4,000 is sought TO
make the purchase. The Secretary said
the coal on Batan Island in the Philip
pines is the best coal in the orient. AS
there has been objection to the govern
ment's ownership OF mines, the Secretary
suggested that after the government ac-
Quires the land It shall be leased to cap
italists who are willing to develop the
property with an agreement to sell coal 10
the government at a price 10 per cent IN
excess of the cost of production.
Lieut.. H. r. Wigmore, u. s. "A, who in
vestigated the Batan coal fields for the
War Department, stated to the committee
that his analysis showed the Batan coal
to be far superior to the Japanese coal
and equal to the Australian coal, now used
in the far east. The deposits, he said, lie
on an excellent harbor and the coal can be
mined and loaded at a cost Of LOO a ton.
He estimated that the deposits will yield
all the coal needed by the government for
at least $50 years.

RAILWAYS IN PHILIPPINES.
Bids for Lines in Cebu, Panay and
Negros Accepted.

The Philippine commission, by formal act
has accepted the bids OF the White syndi-
cate TO build under 4 per cent guarantee
several hundred miles of railroad in the Is
lands of Cebu, Panay and Negros. Secre-
tary Taft, being notified by cable of that
decision, has approved the act of the COM
mission so the award of contract has been
practically settled and the bidders have been
told TO prepare to execute the contract and
begin the work That will insure the con-
struction of railroads in some of the best
sugar and hemp country in the archipelago.
There will be 100 miles laid on each of the
Islands of Panay and Negros and 95 miles
In Cebu The successful bidders have had
experience in railroad construction In the
Philippines, having laid down the electric
trolley system in Manila.
No decision has Yet been reached as to the
award of contracts for the more important
railroad construction on the Island of Lu-
zon The bids of Speyer & Co. have been
considered by the Philippine commission.
, but are not regarded as entirely satisfac-
tory and there are others covering the
same ground Probably some notifications
of the proposals will be suggested by Secre-
tary Taft and IL they. are accepted by the
bidders the contract will be awarded ac-
cordingly. The objections of the commits
sion appear to be based upon apprehension
that the guarantees required from the Phil
ippine government will be too much of a
tax upon the resources of the Islands IL the
entire scheme of construction is carried out.

THE SENATE.

Immediately after the Senate met today
Mr. Tilman presented and had read a ie-.
ter from Prof. William d. Marks of Phila-
6elphia, regarding the overcapitalization OF.
railroad corporations. in which the writer
expressed the opinion that more than half
OF the railroad securities represent. no
real properties nor actual Investments IN
cash" He placed the actual cost OF tho
equipment and construction OF all the roads
IN the United States at 5.eo0. .0oo,o 600 while
the aggregate capitalization exceeds tfts
sum by about seven billions. He analyzed
the report Of the railroad commissioner or
Massachusetts to show that in that state
the total capitalization ts about So. 900 per
mile, while he said the cost OF building and
euuipping railroads in that state could not
exceed $26900 per mile.

which developed into pleurisy and pneu-
monia. From the first the warriors sixty
nine years told against him, and when, yes
terday, the disease was found to have af-
fected both lungs, 1t was feared that a
fatal termination was inevitable.
Late last night DR.. A. ]. McCorkle, the
attending physician, said that there was
practically no hope of recovery AT mid
night sinking spell caused the family to
be summoned to the bedside. There were,
in addition to Mrs. Smith, Maj. Joseph
Wheeler jr., u. S. A., now stationed at
West Point, and the four daughters of Gen.
Wheeler. Mrs. W. ]. Harris and the Misses
Anna, Lucille and Carrie Wheeler. The
daughters had come on from the south on
Tuesday and yesterday.
Mind Apparently Active.
Conscious and with his mind apparently
active, the general seemed to know that
death was approaching and, too weak to
speak he tried with Characteristic fortitude
to nod encouragement to his children. DR..
McCorkle and Dr. JaneWay were in con-
slant attendance, and held frequent con-
sultations during the night, but they could
offer no hope to the stricken family. Later
the general sank into a peaceful slumber,
and, at the earnest wish of the physicians,
the members of the family. who had been
summoned to the bedside, returned to their
rooms.
This morning there was no perceptible
change. The patient remained apparently
comfortable, but death appeared to be q
matter of hours only. Maj. Wheeler said
that the condition of his father was such
that the family was prepared for the worst
DR.. McCorkle who, with DR.. Janeway, re-
mained close by the patient throughout the
night said that in the case of q young OF
middle aged patient crisis might be ex.
pected at the end of week. With one OF
Gen. Wheelers years, however. the enc
might come suddenly at any time.
The attention of the physicians during
the night was given chiefly to the fiuctuat-
ing temperature of the patient.
Consultation Last Night.
DR. McCorklc called DIR. John A. Long.
more into consultation in Gen. Wheeler's
case last night, and the two physicians re,
mained with the patient all night Wher
Dr. Longmore left the sick mans chamber
this morning he said Gen. Wheeler's life
was then hanging by thread. Gen. Wheel
err was only half conscious at that time, ant
it was believed that death might ensue a.
any moment. Oxygen was administered tt
the patient this morning for the first time
DIR. McCorkle said shortly before II
o'clock:
Gen. Wheeler has one chance in twenty
of recovery. His condition is very low an(
his strength is being kept up on stimulants
but nevertheless, he has a fighting chance.
Gen. Wheeler was very low and sinking
rapidly shortly before pm. today.
