TEAR UP THE TOWN.


San Francisco, Oct. 19.-The familiar
game of applying crooked police methods
to desperate political situation is be-
ing theoretically worked in San Fran
cisco. The purpose is to discredit the
present administration of the police de-
partment and thus to injure the candi-
dacy Of Mayor Taylor.
Behind the game, pulling the strings,
is jerry Oman, the indicted chief of
police, who saved himself from sum-
mary dismissal by resigning. His chief
OF staff is his bosom friend, ''Kid" Sui
Ivan, king of the pickpockets.
The staff consists of the little army
CT crooks, men and women, whom Dr.
nan allowed to stay here and edo BUSH
ness' ii they "got right" with him
Through "Kid" Sullivan.
Word has been cent out for the gang
to tear up the town. and in conse-
quence hold-ups, petty thievery and
thuggery have increased to an alarming
extent.

RAILWAY CLEARING HOUSE.


Los Angeles, Oct. 18.-Nearly every
railway company is studying to perfect
plans for the quick movement of care
and rolling stock, with view to elm
mating the shortage features of the
business this winter. 1t is argued that
with the proper shifting of cars and a
careful adjustment nearly one-third
more business can be transacted with
the present equipment.
1t is suggested by an official here,
and the plan is under consideration,
that there be formed a pool of equip
ment by the various roads and clear
ing house for cars. Any demand for
cars by any road would be made to the
clearing house, and that concern would
give over the required number of cars
from the nearest supply, or in case of
shortage, or multiplicity of de-
mands the orders would be filed pro
rata.
Under this plan it would be the duty
Of every road to wire daily reports of
the exact location of all its cars. The
entire equipment OF the pool would be
registered in the clearing house, much
in the same manner in which the cars
Of line are tabulated by each of the
different roads at present.

RAILRoAps GAIN.
Reduced Passenger Rate IN Nebrasks
6~eiis Earnings.

oWeiis Earnings.
Omaha, Oct. 21.---Instead Of the new
two-cent railroad fare law having re.
duced the rates in Nebraska, it has act.
ually increased the average rate pei
mile In this state, according to the re-
port OF the Union Pacific railroad
which has just been filed with the
State Railway commission. And in
stead OF the railroads having fear Of
the two-cent law, they have beer
laughing in their sleeves over the di.
version they have creaetd by kicking
against the passenger rates and drawing
attention from the high freight rates
charged in the trans Mississippi coun-
try.
The annual report Of the Union Pa
cific, which has just been filed with the
commission, proves on examination to
be brief in behalf OF the two-cent
fare. Since the new law was enacted
the Union Pacific and other Nebraska
railroads are charging full two cents
per mile. az permitted by law. No ex-
cursion rates, no reduced fare, no com
mutation tickets OF any kind and in
fact nothing less than straight two
cent fare ticket is cold in Nebraska
But the report which has just been
made public shows that last year the
average passenger travelled In Nebraska
at the rate OF 1895 cents for each mile,
rate actually lower than that which
Is now charged by the railroads under
the new law.

TAFT's DELPHIc WORDS.


Manila, Oct. 21.--At banquet given
In his honor In this city Saturday
night, Secretary of War William ii
Taft made most significant statement
He was referring to the fact that he
had already visited the Philippines
three times and In expressing his in
tention to come here again, he said:
II hope in another two years to visit
Manila again, but then l probab bly, will
come as private citizen.''
The significance OF Mr.. Taft's re-
marks in relation to the chances of his
nomination for the presidency next
year, did not seem to strike his audi
ence. The secretary's speech was re-
ceived with much enthusiasm by the
representatives of the Filipinos pres
emit, when he declared the government
was anxious and ready to help the bust
ness prosperity of the islands.
Mr.. Taft devoted the day to an in.
speetion of the schools of Manila.

TRADE HAS NOT DECREASED.
AmerIcan-Asia Association Expects No
War With Japan.

New York, Oct. 18.--That there has
not been falling off in trade with
Japan following the Japanese Russian
war, but on the contrary healthfu1 re-
sumption OF normal conditions, was the
statement of James R. Morse, presi-
dent of the Amerjcan-Asiatic associa-
tion, at the annual meeting of the or
ganization today. Conditions in China
have not been so good, but there are
prospects of recovery from depressed
conditions. In the secretary's report,
John Ford says:
"The obviously temporary character
Of the settlement of the japanese ex-
clusion question in California tended
to encourage rather than to check the
circulation of foolish and mischevious
rumors Of impending war between the
two countries. All the influence of
your executive committee has been ex-
erted to demonstrate the absurdity of
assuming that there could be any seri-
GUS quarrel between the two govern
ments in dealing with the issue raised
in California"

plague, which has made its appearance
IN this city. One case has been report
ed, that of a Chinese who died nearly
q week ago, but the city health officers

New York, Oct. 22.-Japan is man
uiacturing more munitions of war at
the present time that at any time dur
ing the war with Russia. Under peace
Japan has one more arsenal and one
more naval base than II had under the
exigency OF war. Both the arsenal and
the naval base have been Established
within the last six months and at each
pace day and night shifts Of laborers
are being worked. Port Arthur or Oy-
rolu, as the Japanese have renamed
the place, Is the new naval base where
there is so much activity.

Ottawa, Oct. 2l.-For some time
there has been strong movement in
Canada in favor OF radical change in

port of pulp wood to the United States.
This movement, which has for months

ton from tie pulp and paper manufac-
turers OF the Dominion, who came to
Ottawa and petitioned the government
that the expectation of pulp wood from
Canada should be prohibited and the

RUN STEAMERS :
TO THE ISTHMUS
Chambers of Dominance of All Pa.
cific Coast Ports Asked for Data
as to Prospective Business-Poor
Service Of Pacific Mail Is Chief
Reason for Inquiries.

San Francisco, Oct. 10.--President
G. II. Bentley, Of the chamber of CON-
MERGE, has taken up the task of provid.
ing the War department of the United
States with all the information availa-
BILE in San Francisco that the depart
ment requires preliminary to consider
ing the advisability Of putting on line
OF steamers to compete with the Pacific
Mail between the isthmus of Panama
and San Francisco and other Pacific
Coast ports. A committee has been
appointed by Mr.. Bentley, with Cap
tain William Matson as chairman, and
including George d. Gray and James
McNab.
This information has been asked for
by Joseph L. Bristow, who was ap-
pointed special commissioner BY
President Roosevelt two years ago to
look into the steamship service between
American ports, and il now under in
structions by the War department to
proceed further along the same lines.
81 am advised by the secretary Of
war; Mr.. Bristow has written to the
chambers of commerce of San Francis
co, Los Angeles, San Diego, Portland.
Seattle and Tacoma, "that, while the
service of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company has not been withdrawn, it is
very unsatisfactory. He has advised
me to make further inquiry as to the
advisability Of the governments estab-
fishing steamship line between the
Pacific Coast ports Of the United States
and Panama"
AT first it was supposed that the in
quiry would deal largely and to a GER
tain extent exclusively with the ques-
ton OF how much freight could be pro-
vided by the government as canal
digger and in its capacity of furnishing
supplies for the great naval and mill
tary plants to be located at San Fran
cisco, and for the insular possession Of
the United States in the Pacific which
move by sea. Now it is developed that
the scope of the proposed governmental
line of line of steamships is much
wider.
Mr.. Bristow has submitted list OF
questions to the several chambers of
commerce of the Pacific Coast regard
ing all sorts of freight that can be
moved by sea. The questions run the
complete gamut of the sea-carrying
trade and include the following:
"Under neutral conditions, with
rates fixed upon a basis of reasonable
compensation for services rendered,
would there be sufficient business be-
tween the Pacific and Atlantic ports of
the United States to warrant the estab-
llshment of frst-class line of steam
shlps to make regular schedule trips
weekly from Pacific Coast ports to Pam
ama?''

Lima. Peru, Oct. 19.-Senor Fran

vented an instrument which he calls a
teleseismograph, for the prediction of
earthquakes. The result of its work as

result has been as predicted in earth
