ING AND SLEEPING CARS ALSO
UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov 20. = The
Pennsylvania railroad has called for
bids for the construction of 100 all
steel, non-inflammahle passenger cars.
This will be the first lot of such
equipment to be made in accordance
with the company's intention to build
no more wooden cars The decision
on this point was fastened by the
progress of the New York tunnel,
through which the company will not
run anything but absolutely tIre-proof
cars.
Bids are to be asked Of the Ameri
can Car & Foundry Company, the
Standard Steel Car Company. and the
Pressed Steel Car Company. One ex-
perImental passenger car has already
been built by the Pennsylvania, but
the new cars will embOly many I'M
provements upon this one
The company's shops nj Altoona
will also complete now very shortly
the all.steel baggage car which Is in
course of construction there. as well
as an all-steel postal car--the first
to be constructed by any railroad.
This will be delivered about January
LIST,
The Pennsylvania has agreed with
the Postofice Department to construct
It's future mail cars Of 10 feet in
length, and suitable for use as either
letter Of paper cars. The present pay
for railroad postal service is based
upon car Of co feet In length, so
that In the new cars an extra 10 feet
will be provided for which the COM
pany will receive no compensation,
The new cars will add greatly to the
safety and convenience Of railway
mail operators.
The motive power department has
also Just approved designs for an all
steel dining car, and an experimental
car Of this character will be started
at once. The Pullman Company. at
the instance of the Pennsylvania rail-
road, is at work upon an alI-steel non
iuAammable sleeping car. Some 500
such cars must be completed and pre-.
pared for service by the tins the

POINT.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2o.-The direc
tors OF the STANDARD OIL Company
have issued a circular letter to the
stockholders. saying that the com.
papy's position is uuassatlable from
both a legal and moral standpoint.
The directors declare themselves con.
tident that in the proceedings institute
ed the company's position will be sue
cesstully maintained, The circular
follows:
Regarding the suit commenced in
the United States Court at st. Louis,
in which 1t is sought to prevent the
Standard Oil Company, Of New Jer.
sey, from holding any stocks Of other
companies. your directors are entirely
convinced that the coppany's posi-
ton is unassailable from both legal
and moral standpoint. We are conf
dent that in the proceedings which
will follow the company will success
fully maintain its position upon the
merits and vindicates 1t before the
public and the law.
while the directors feel that there
is no adequate reason for such a
suit either in the organization or the
conduct of the business. yet, under
the circumstances, 1t Is perhaps bet
ter for your interests and for the
business interests Of the country that
the controversy should be removed to
the judicial atmosphere Of the courts,
in whose integrity and wisdom every
citizen should have the fullest conf
dence-where mere allegation must
give way to legal proof
1.-THE present organization was
founded after an exhaustive consider
alton of the legal business problems
involved. 1t has existed unchal'
lenged for many years. Everything
relating to it has been a matter of
public report and at every step the ut
most care has been observed to con-
duct the business honestly and fair
" and in accordance with not only
the spirit, but the technical require
ments of the law
1.-THE legal organization of your
company is of essentially the same
nature and character as that of other
important industrial interests of the
country and the continuous growth
and expansion OF its business have
been legitimate and normal. 1t is
not to be lightly assumed that there
Is 10 be a reversal OF the wheels OF
progress or a destruction Of the foun-
dalton Of the great industrial bust
ness of the country.
You may be assured that in this It'll.
cation, as in all matters affecting
the company, your directors will see
that the proper steps are taken TO
protect your interests"

He Is discussed everywhere

daily reports Of his work. A
number Of startling cases have
been cited and the names Of the
most prominent citizens have
appeared in connection, which
fact seems to verify the truth of
the reports.

ShOup and Lyons

At the formal opening Of the Murane
campaign at Juneau last week, Marshal
Shoup and T. r. Lyons spoke against
territorial government as a general
proposition. They held out the idea
that the system is not only not applic-
able to Alaska, but that it is bad in
principle. This leads the Juneau Rec
ord-Miner, the republican paper Of Jul
neau, 10 say:
'If will do our republican friends any
special good We will admit for the sake
Of argument that congress made dam
Uhool Of itself from the beginning, and
that the admission Of those twenty
seven territories, the history OF which
Mr. Shoup detailed, was in each in
stance a political miscarriage. \ eS

In Denmark ever since the foundation
Of this government: great political
blunder has been perpetuated in the

that extant in Alaska. ITO those posses

employed there and they are getting

partner are operating on Livingston
creek. Said Mr.. Wallick:
1.-The Livingston Greek Syndicate, a
company of which J. 3. BIick is mana
ger and w. NJ. Heron, superintendent,
is working 10 men and will probably
take out $4,000 this year. Its last
clean up was. $4,000. This company,
composed of Northern Comm, rciaI
people, will be the largest producer

One Of them, the Iron Greek Syndicate
is the same as the Ljvisgstou Creek
Syndicate, and Mr.. BIick is at its head.

The comparison the Fairmont pa
pers attempted in reference to that
city with others ended in a boomer
ang against that city. the Telegram
is quite sorry to say for Fairmoat
but happy to note for Clarksburs. 1t
resulted in showing Clarksburg to be
far larger and greater than Fairmont
1t also brought important attention
to CIarksburg from other places, as
shown By the following written by w.
I. Boreman, a progre ssive citizen of
Parkersburg and publihed by ParH-
ersburs's morning paper, which gave
it sufficient import as to have the
same in the editorial columns:
wheeling Is the first city in our
state as to size. Parkersburg has n
foolish way of considering herself the
second. 1 heard one of our leading
citizens say a few days ago that the
way other towns were growing at pres
ent that within the next year or two
it would read: wheeling, first; Hun
tington, second: Charleston, third;
CIarlzsburg. fourth; ana ParkersburS
and Fairmont in a tussel for fifth
place. This same leading citizen
thinks. too. that we are all asleep
here in Parkersburg and thinks we
must awaken, get a hustle on us.
think We are asleep. thing we are
stunned, insensible slugged with
bludgeon in the hands of our very
best citizens"
Facts and figures are fast bearing
Mr. Boreman out in his assertion and
prove his observation in this respect
to be correct. He takes the only
view that sensible and observing
business man can and is to be prais-
ed for his candor, and Parkersburg
should take his words as an admoni-
ton, from which it could well profit.
