NEW COAL FIELDS TAPPED
MINNEAPOLIS BROUGHT NEARER
FUEL BEDS OF SOUTHERN ILL
NoIs THRU ROCK ISLAND DEAL.

&I3H #& 45kA&#
Thru the Rock Island system, and a
new line to develop coal fields of south
ern Illinois, Minneapolis and it's cOn-s
sumers is to- be placed in reach Of a lot
of new fuel.
The management Of the Eastern ILL
nois, of the Rock Island system, has de-
cided to build a line from st. Elmo or
Salem to a connectionGwith the. Alton at
Springfield, Peoria being the objective
destination for the product.of the new
fields. The Rock Island controls the
Alton So that shipments will be entirely
over the Rock Island for distribution to
all parts of it's territory.
The road will be about n~inety-fve
miles long and will be the link to COM
plete a new short coal route to the
northwest.
The coal properties in Williamson and
Franklin counties are said to contain
some of the largest bituminous deposits
in the country. The great Ziegler mine
is in this territory and the Burlington
also has extensive coal properties there.
GUS field the Eastern illinois was ex-
tended from Findlay thru st. Elmo to
Joppa. Salem is south of ST.. Elmo and
it is possible the new line will extend
from st. Elmo to Pana, from which
point trackage right will be obtained
over the Baltimore & Ohio Southwest
ern.
It is understood the Eeastern Illinois
and the Rock Island, thru associated
coal companies, have recently been in
creasing their holdings Of cool lands
and that an active development policy
will be established. In this connection
it is noted that all the Illinois lines
have in recent years been scrambling for
coal lands in the southern part Of the
state and that the New York Central
lines have built q new road into south
ern Illinois to develop the coal fields
upon a scale hitherto unknown.

Berlin, April 9.--The reports that the

Owing to the large sums which he has
already obtained from the reichstag for

Xoakum Syndicate Plans Great Things

Journal Special Service.
Chicago. April 8. - Two railroad
transactions just completed have dis
closed the fact that the B. T. Yoakum
syndicate is planning a great thru short
line between the Great Lakes and the
City Of Mexico, and a new system Of
roads that will connect with the gulf
and also place territory in touch with
the orient thru the north Pacific ports,
and at the same time draw the products
of the west, northwest and southwest
thru the gulf ports.
MI. Yoakum g plan has to do with
and Is the most comprehensive scheme
of railway construction in years. Attic
not connected directly with the Rock
Island and the Frisco systems, the two
play an important part, as all of the
lines now constructed and in-contempla-
tion will connect with both systems.
The project, which was the dream Of
MI. Yoakum in his early Texas days,
is being carried rapidly to fruition. It
has cost thus far fully 100000, 900, and
in it's fulflment will cost between $780,
100000 and $50, 900, 900 additional. Of
such vast import is the matter to the
future of the entire west that it's prob
able effect may well be compared to
that Of the Gould project to secure a
line from the Atlantic to the. Pacific
coast
The new Chicago-City Of Mexico line
will be at least 800 miles, possibly 800
miles, shorter than the shortest exist
ing route. In fact, there will be two
routes between the Great Lakes and the
City Of Mexico, one by way Of St. Louis
and New Orleans, Galveston and
Brownsville, and the other by way of
Kansas City, Fort Worth, Brownsville
and the National of Mexico.

THE GIFTS OF MISS ALICE.
Will Surpass Any Collection Ever
Seen in This Country.

Will Surpass Any Collection Ever
Seen in This Country.
According to a Washington correspond.
ent, the gifts which Miss Roosevelt will
receive for her bridal display will be
many and costly. These will include pres
ents from the Gar, the Mikado, the EN-
press of China, the Kaiser, the King and
Queen of England, the Sultan, and pos
sibly the King and Queen of Italy. Near
ly all royal gifts take the form of jew
elry, laces or silk, all of which are among
the highly rated articles when it comes to
paying duty. However, if gifts are sent
to the legations there is no duty, and the
presentations can be made by the ENJOYS
and ambassadors in person.
Miss Roosevelt's gifts will surpass any
collection ever gathered in this country.
Invitations have gone abroad to every
ruler who has a representative in this
country or to whom this country sends
an envoy. There are 80 nations holding
friendly relations with Hail Columbia,
and this does not cover all to whom rep
resentatives are sent.
News of the marriage has awakened
great interest abroad. The Roman pom
tiff, who admires the vigorous American
President so greatly that he is having
all his works translated into Italian, has
instructed his delegate in Washington,
Mgr. Diomede Falconi, to ask if the dis
tinguished pair will accept gift of mo-
sale, designed in the papal institution in
the Vatican. This gift is meant to COM
pliment Mr.. Longworth, as we'll as Miss
Roosevelt. He is the nephew of Mrs.
Bellamy Storer, wife of the ambassador
at Vienna, whom che pontiff knows we'll
and admires exceedingly.
The Sultan of Turkey is another who
is deeply engrossed in the preparations
for the nuptials. His gift, according to
those who know his traditions, is sure to
be priceless gem-a diamond, ruby, en-
erald or sapphire.

MARSHALL FIELDS WILL.
Document Disposes of Estate Reclk-
oned at Over 100000, 900.

Document Disposes of Estate RecIx-
oned at Over $1OO,OOO,OOO.
Marshall Fields last will and tesla
ment, embracing two codicils and dispos-
Ing of an estate reckoned as beyond the
value of $100O00,0OO, was filed for pro-
bate in Chicago Wednesday. The docu-
ment, which contains upward of $4,000
words, was attested in Chicago and bears
date of Feb. %, 1904. After making spe-
cifc requests of $50, 298,OOO, the testator
provides that the residue of the estate
go to his grandchildren, Marshall Field
III. and Henry Field, IL and 10 years
old, respectively They are the children
of the late Marshall Field, Jr. To the
widow is left the Field residence and con-
tents, worth upward of 100000, and
$1,O00,O0O in addition. In this connection
it is said that Mr.. Field made a large
marriage settlement.
The daughter, Mrs. Ethel Field Beatty
of England, is to receive the benefit of a
trust fund of 100000 and life in
terest in $1,OO0,000 was set apart for the
widow of Marshall Field II. Gwendolyn
Field, the granddaughter, now 3 years
old, has $1,0O0,O0O left in trust for her.
The Field Museum of Natural History
will get $8,000,00O and four local chart
ties are left $4,000 each. Scattering
millions are left to relatives, old en-
ployes and to few friends.
The great magnitude of the inheritance
which falls to the grandsons of Mr.. Field
may be noted from the fact that young
Marshall Field is to receive three-ffths
and Henry Field two-ffths of the residue
of the estate and in addition the benefit
of trust fund of $5,O0O,OOO Thus they
practically now are worth anywhere from
$35,O00,OO0 to $50,O0O,OOO each.
