At this junction, Hamilton asked
what had been done about fire protec.

prevailed that a larger main be laid

The line up the st. Joe river is
progressing in a very satisfactory
manner between Chatcolet and the
head Of navigation, goodly portion
of the grading already having been

mated that nearly 1000 are now en-
ployed at the various camps on the

The building of the line through

STOP RAILROAD WORK

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. Sin the
twelfth annual report of the Santa
Fe road, which was made public yes
terday, President E. P Ripley makes
an official announcement that all OK
tensions and new work have been sus-
spended until public confidence In
railways shall have been restored.
Ripley also declares that it will be
impossible for the railways of the
country to obtain the hundreds of
millions OF dollars which they must
expend If they Keep pace with grow
ing demads for transportation, unless
the public begins soon tn realize that
it has made a mistake in vigorously
attacking railroads. To show that
railway investments have not proved
as fruitful as others, he especially
states that during 1907, the most
prosperous year in the history of the
company, the net earnings averaged
only 65 per cent upon the entire
Capitalization, which is believed not
to exceed the cost OF reproducing tne
company properties at the present
time. Interest aud dividend pay
ments for the year averaged less than
4.6 per cent on bonds and stock. and
for the last 10 years net earnings
have averaged less than 4. 80 per cent
on the entire capitalization, and the
average dividend and interest pay
ments less than 81 per cent. In
order even to accomplish these re
suits 1t was necessary for the company
to expend for Improvements, additional
equipment and for new construction
druing the last 10 years a total of
800, 900, 900. During the same
period the total sum paid to stock
holders was less than go, 600, 900

JAPS ARE QUIET
War Ships to Pacific Causes
them to be Good.

Washington, Oct 8.-The navy
department has been advised by the
revenue cutter service that since the
cruise of the 80 warships to the Paci-
&c was announced the Japanese have
given no trouble along the Alaskan
and Aleutian coast In ths far north
west. Prior to that announcement
the revenue cutter service was ex-
periencing considerable annoyance
from the japanese. They were en-
croaching upon the United States
territory, and weIe exceedingly pert. -
The foregoing statement was made
yesterday by q prominent navy OH
cisl. He justified bis assertion BY
giving details of the recent exper-
fences which the revenue cutter SER
vice has had with the Japanese in the
northern Pacific waters. speaking of
the landing Of men on st. Paul's is
land in the Pribilof group of the
Aleutian archipelago by a Japanese
crew of sealers, contrary to the in
ternatIonal laws which In late years
have regulated the taking Of seals in
that part of the world.
''The Japanese insisted that they
had the right to take the seals, aud
proceeded to land their men. OF
course, they were compelled to re-
cede from their position. But, un-
til it was announced that the 80 war
ships would cruise around the Horn
to Pacific waters, officials here of sew
real departments who we're acquainted
with the inside facts knew that the
Japanese were by no means tFRctAhIe.
sit was surprising how quickly
the japanese modified their inteIpre-
tation Of international law immedi-
ately after the news of the cruise was
given ont. / have no doubt that
this and similar indications on Jap
ans part were largely responsible for
the presidents order to prepare for
the cruise. OF course, diplomacy de-
mands that administration officials
deny any such motive, and they would
deny 1t we're you to go to them with
this statement.
"But, nevertheless, 1t is the COM
mon understanding that the cruise ID
more or less of an object lesson ia
Japan, and apparently Il has been
quite we'll learned by the little brown
people. +"
The navy officials went on to say
that the cruise was advisable on other
grounds, principally because many
people doubt the real efficiency of the
larger ships, and this cruise will
demonstrate either that those fearful
people are right and then steps will
be taken to put the ships on an eff
cient footing, or 1t will be proven
that they are wrong.

PLOT TO BEAT
BRYAN EXPOSED
All Opposition to Unite Against
Popular Candidate

Washington, Oct. 9.-Quite az
we'll marked conspiracy has been
formed to defeat W. j. Bryan for the
democratic nomination as that which
was denounced from the White House
last spring, in which it was claimed
that a IS, 900, 900 fund had been sub
scribed to defeat the policies of
President Roosevelt.
This conspiracy comprehends in
tense activity in many states from
New York to the southernmost COM
monwealth and from the Atlantic to
the Pacific
Favorite SONS are being coached In
every state where may be found a
man whose mention will not excite
ridicule, and IL Ia we'll known here
that it is the definite purpose of the
conspirators to carry to the national
democratic convention just as many
state delegations as possible pledged
to favoIire sons. These, IL possible,
will be united on some anti-Bryan
candidate, and the overthrow of the
Nebraskan thus accomplished.
This is not to assert that every
favorite son movement is due to the
originating influence of those who
have formed the so called conspiracy.
Some of them are in good faith.
But it is to over that the favorite
son loyalty of the people to be play
ed on by those who have determined
that MIR. Bryan shall not become the
next nominee of the democratic
party.
