Ii is understood to be the intention
Of the p, b. & W. Railroad 90. to
place its elevated structure in use, ne
far as possible, before going actively
to work on the new passenger station
building, at Front aud French streets,
and much of the work that is being
done in that locality, which many
suppose is actual work on the station
building, is primarily on the elsva ted
road. While it is true that the ele-
vated road at that point will form part
OF the station, &c is an independent
project, so far as the station buildings
are concerned, and some Of the rail
road men say that the elevated road
must be gotten into shape before much
headway can be made on the building.
The elevated road Is now in use from
the northern CITY line to Poplar street
and from the southern city line to
Justison street, aud il is understood
to be the aim now to get that portion
OF the road between Poplar and West
streets in shape for use as soon as pos
siole, which will eliminate the surface
tracks except between West and Justi-
son streets, litigation preventing the
elevating of the road at that point.
After the elevated road has been
placed in service past French street
II will be possible to get to work on
that portion Of the ground required
which is now occupied by the tenn
poTary station, but before IL Is used
temporary station will be built along
the elevated tracks. just where this
will he has not keen definitely learned,
but some OF the railroad men are OF
the opinion that IL will he on the west
side Of French street. 1t is likely that
this change will be made as soon as
trains can be run over the elevated at
that point, and the construction of
the permanent station will then be
begun in earnest.
-Four tracks will pass through the
station, as has been stated, and en-
observation of the bridges over tr, nch
street, which are now In position,
will show that considerable space is to
be allowed between the two sets OF
tracks, one set Of which is for through
trains and the other for local trains.
Immediately after passing through the
station the two sets of tracks will come
closer together, and to carry out that
idea one of the bridges is az an angle.
Material for the new station has
been arriving for several days and il
being assembled, 30 that everything
will be in readiness when the Tins has
arrived for going ahead with the work.
1t cannot be figured out at this time
when the new station will be com.
pleted and ready for occur ancy, but an

LABOR WANTED IN CALIFORNIA.
Era Of Great Prosperity Reported on
the Slope

SAN FRANCISCO, October 3O-Marked
improvement has been noted in all indus
trial lines in California during the month
of October and data secured by the Cali
fornia promotion committee shows that the
entire state is benefiting by the era of
prosperity.
More than 10000 people have come to the
state on this falls colonist rates, who have
settled in all localities. This influx of popu-
lation has been responsible for much of the
increased business noted In all cities
throughout the state. There is a noticeable
tendency of the new immigration toward
the agricultural sections, as the people are
realizing the many advantages offered by
California farms.
Demand for labor Is insistent especially
in the skilled building trades. Los Angeles
and all the cities of the interior and coast
valleys feel this shortage in supply.
Since the fire more than 6,OO0 buildings
have been erected in San Francisco's burned
district. More than $50O00,OOO has been
spent in Improvements in the city. More
than $4,000 men are doing construction
work. and 200 carloads o. debris are being
removed daily. Market and its debouching
streets have been practically cleared Of their
debris and their sidewalks are being rapidly
Of 4. 1856 have been issued, at total valu-
ton Of SGT 600 600, or within a million dol
lars Of the total issue in Baltimore during
the two years after the fire In the city.
Continued high percentages of increase in
bank clearings after the insurance settle
ments show that business Is on q substan-
tial basis.

FOR NEW YORK JACKIES
TRANSFER OF THE PROTECTED
CRUISER NEWARK.

Orders have been issued at the Navy De-
partment for the transfer of the protected
cruiser Newark. now at New York, to the
state of New York for the use and instruc-
ton of the naval militia of that state She
Will replace the old wooden sailing vessel
New Hampshire, built at Kittery. Me-, In
1918. That vessel made her last cruise
many years ago. since which time she has
been resting in the mud Of New York
harbor. She was housed over and used
by the New York naval militia as barracks
She is now nothing more than hulk, and
Will be stricken from the naval register
and sold to the highest bidder for junk
The Newark Is an entirely different kind
OF vessel. and her acquisition by the New
York militiamen will undoubtedly be of
great advantage to them in the way of
practical naval instruction. She Is a two
masted steel schooner, and was built by
William Cramp & Sons of PHILADELPHIA In
october, 1883, being among the earliest of
the Warshlps OF the new navy. During her
seventeen years service she has cruised in
pretty much all parts of the world, and rem
oered good account of herself. Although
sun good, stanch ship. she does not com
pare favorably with the more modern addi-
lions to the navy. either in speed or fighting
efficiency. That she possesses excellent
cruising qualities Is shown by the fact that
she mas Just completed most successful
run to and from Havana with marine
forces on board. The Newark has a dis
placement Of 1908 tons and an indicated
horsepower Of about 5000. She Is 312 feet
long. 40 feet broad. and has q mean draft
of 10 feet inches
In her earlier days the Newark had a
record Of 10 knots an hour. but has not
been able to develop that speed in recent
years. Her armament consists Of twelve
6-inch rapid-f1re guns. eight 6-pounders,
four 1-pounders, and two Colts. Her orig
Ina! contract cost was 81 ,248 900, but consid-
erably more than that has been expended
since in repairs. etc.

NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERIES.
Statement by Secretary Churchill in
Parliament

LONDON. October 3O.-Replying to fur
Their questions in the house of commons
today regarding the conclusion of the mo-
dus vivendi on the fisheries question with
out the adherence Of Newfoundland, Mr..
Churchill the parliamentary secretary for
the colonial office. explained that the modus
vivendi was a temporary arrangement in
tended to avoid the occurrence Of untoward
Incidents during the negotiations necessi-
tated by the action taken by the colonial
government In spite of the representations
of his majesty's government. The usual
course, the secretary added. has been fol-
lowed in informing the colonial government
at every step. but the ultimate responsible
ity for any action taken by Great Britain
In order TO give effect to treaty engage
ments with foreign powers necessarily rest
ed with his majesty's government.
Mr. Churchill further asserted that ample
precedent for the course adopted could be
found in the modus vivendi into which the
late Marquis of Salisbury entered with
France respecting the Newfoundland lob
ster fisheries.
Foreign Secretary Grey announced that
the correspondence with the United States
and Newfoundland would be presented to
the house as soon as it could be prepared.

culated by whites that a Klu Klux Khan
was being organized to drive negroes from
the community the blacks have formed
themselves into a band of white caps and
already have started series OF depreda-
tons on the whites. News has reached here
from Bear Creek. in Lincoln county. that
Bud" Godbold, a young white farmer, was
fred upon by negro white caps while riding
through lonely stretch of woods. His
horse was killed. but Godbold escaped. Ac-
cording to Godbold's story. a white man
riding 100 yards behind him was stimuli
taneously attacked by the blacks. Officers
have gone to the scene of the ambush. The
story circulated that whites would form a
Klu Klux Khan was done as joke. 1t Is as
serted. but the blacks took the Jokers at
their word. The excitement here Is intense.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. October 30.-White
men Of Fayette county. Tenn. will meet to-
night at Somerville to organize White

mored uprising Of negroes. 1t is said that
a party Of negroes has possession of eighty
Winchester rifles, and that this fact Is re-
sponsible for the movement. The approach
