GET RIGHT OF Way.
Commercial Club Guarantees Council
Grove Line in Shawnee.

The Topeka Commercial club has
guaranteed the complete right-of- way
of the Topeka & Southwestern rail-
road so far as this city and Shawnee
county are concerned. The PROPOSE
ton of the capitalists who are to con-
struct the road was that the construc-
tors furnish the capital for actual con-
struction, but that Topeka, or rather,
Shawnee county people donate the
Previous to this meeting which was
held Tuesday, members of the Com
mercial club and business men of To-
peka had subscribed to the issue of
first mortgage bonds of the railroad
company sufficiently to furnish the
right-of-way, outside the condemna-
ton proceedings. When this was
stated in the meeting there was a
chorus of motions that the Topeka
Commercial club show it's faith in the
enterprise still further and that its
members guarantee to buy enough of
the first mortgage bonds Of the rail-
road company to insure all the right
of-way that the road needed, even if
three-fourths of the right-of-way had
to be acquired through condemnation
proceedings.
This motion went through with
much enthusiasm and forever settles
the right-of-way question for this
new railroad in Shawnee county
There is plenty of money in our
possession to. close up this matter
right now" said one of the leading
members of the Commercial club af-
ter the meeting adjourned this morn
ing. but further than to go on rec
ord as guaranteeing the enterprise to
that extent we do not care to say
more just now. For various reasons
we do not wish to tip our financial
hands to those who may be prepar-
ing to unload some of their more or
less valuable holdings on the club at
fabulous figures"
The Topeka & Southwestern rail-
road Is to extend from this city to
Council Grove, a distance of about 40
miles. 1t will pass through one of the
richest agricultural sections of the
state and is expected to prove a boon
to this city. Workmen are now grad
ing the roadbed and 1t is expected
that the enterprise will be rushed
from now till the time trains are pass
ing over the new road.

HELD SUBJECT BY SAvAGEs
Spanish Soldiers Whipped and Other
wise Mistreated.

Madrid. "A Spaniard named Bull
guerra, q recent arrival from Manila,
has caused some excitement here by
story TO the effect that there are more
than 1000 prisoners in Bulacan prov
ince, Island of San Juan del Monte.
They are held by Tamalos, who compel
them to drag their plows. They are
whipped and treated like beasts of bur
den, and the only reward they get is a
scanty ration of green corn.
Bulguera says that In June last nine
ty Spanish prisoners tried to escape BY
swimming. Practically all Of them
were drowned, he says, but he succeed
cd in landing on the opposite bank and
was subsequently able to reach Manila.
Then he went to the American au-
thorities, who provided him with pass
age for Cadiz. He reached that port in
September, but was only able to reach
his native town a few days since, where
he had long been given up for dead.

AMERICAN GOLD IN EUROPE
South Shares in the Prosperity That
Permits Trip.

New York. - Trade balances may
vary, gold reserves may shift, interna-
tional business complications may arise,
but the great stream of American tour
ists' gold still continues to flow Europe
ward. Reports from steamship COM
panies, banking houses doing large let
ter of credit business and excursion
companies show that in the season OF
1907 the amount of money spent by
Americans in Europe has been far
greater than in any previous season.
Averaging the estimates obtained from
variety of sources, Americans have
spent no less than S15O,000,0OO in Eu-
rope this year
According to the steamship agents
and excursion managers the proportion
of Europe bound tourists from the in
terror thic season took an unprecedent-
ed leap. The South, particularly, which
for several years has enjoyed even more
than the average quota of prosperity,
sent thousands of tourists to Europe
this year in excess of the number ever
sent before. Almost every hamlet in
the South has been found to have been
stung by the European travel bug"

price paid was $3.50. Tliis Is 81 cents

This makes s1l, 200, 900 in gold engaged

NEW YORK is AGAIN NORMAL
Rapid Rise of Good Securities on the
Stock Exchange.

New York.-The principal events in
the financial situation today indicated
that the worst was over and that con-
ditions were settling down to normal.
There we're no further bank suspensions
and reports were favorable for the re,
sumption of most of the banks which
closed temporarily last week. The en-
gagement of Sls, ,750, 600 in gold from
Europe for importation to New York
was followed by the sensational an
nouncement OF sales Of American cop
per abroad which win further increase
the tide of foreign money to this coun-
try to an aggregate OF over S25, 600, 900.
This, with the rapid rise OF good secur-
tiles in the stock exchange. in some
cases as much as or 5 per cent, was
naturally followed by slight reaction at
the close, but the policy Of the trust
companies not TO pay out currency for
boarding purposes all contributed to
strengthen the feeling in bankingquar-
ters and among the public at large.
So well was the situation in hand that
there was no such scurrying about OF
leading tinanciers and hasty conferences
as took place during the closing days
of last week. J. Picrpont Morgan was
in touch with the situation in his
library on Thirty-sixth street but did
not find it necessary to come down town.
Runs on banks practically ceased,
partly because Of recognition that they
were unnecessary and unjustitiable, and
partly because of the policy adopted to
pay largo checks only in certified
checks on depository banks.
