BUsINEss AND THE Ei0HTEEN-
HOUR TRAINS.

Now that many patrons Of the
Twentieth Century Limited and of
the Pennsylvania Special trains have
signed petitions asking that the scbed-
ules be heightened out to twenty
hours in winter, 1t is interesting to
recall what fast train service has done
for the business interests Of New York
and OF Chicago.
Years ago when twenty-eight hours
was regarded as fast time between
the two cities the interchange of visits
OF business of immediate Importance
was practically unknown. AS the
time OF the fast passenger trains was
gradually reduced, brief business Wis
Its became more in fashion until the
Inauguration OF the twenty-four hour
train, when they became by no means
uncommon. Under the latter sched-
ule. however. the trip cost the loss OF
an entire business day, and conse-
Quently travel between the cities was
greatly increased. When the Penn
sylvania canvassed prominent men OF
10th cities for opinions regarding an
elghteen-hour train its advent was
hailed with great delight. 1t was
prophesied that such service would
revolutionize business methods, and
the prophecy was fulfilled. With an
eighteen-hour schedule bankers, brok-
ers, railroad officials and even mer-
chants are enabled to leave either city
after the close OF the boards Of trade,
of the stock market. practically OF
the banks and OF the general business
day and be in the other city at the
opening OF the following business day.
II he chose to travel large portion
OF his time, 1t would even be possible
for business man to attend to his
business in New York and have his
home in the suburbs Of Chicago or
the reverse. There are now scores of
prominent mon In both cities who
make weekly and even tri-weekly trips
between the two cities, transacting
most important affairs by WORD of
mouth. The Accomplishment OF this
has been an amazing triumph of rail-
way construction and discipline, and.
railroad men claim, without Increased
danger. The Pennsylvania's short
line mileage Is 912 miles; the average
speed demanded, including stops, is
50.66 miles per hour. But its sched-
ule includes a ferry ride from Jersey
City to New York, which brings the
actual speed up to SIG miles. includ-
ing 125 miles of mountain railroading
A twenty-hour schedule would make
the average on paper 456 miles and
the actual average 46.3 miles.
The New York Central has a mile
age of 952. which means an average
speed OF 52.8 miles, and twenty-hour
schedule would bring this down to 47.6
miles. Whether there is any real
difference in safety represented by
this reduction of 81 miles in the
average time not even an expert In
operation could tell to a mathematical
certainty. In either case the danger
does not lie In the average speed.
but in bursts OF phenomenal speed
when these trains are behind time.
With either schedule there will be
times when maximum speed will be
maintained unless positive orders are
given to the contrary.-Record-He Herald

The London "Times" attributes
Riots to T.. s.. 4 oitdtOrS.

London. Sept 1.-THE Times" this morning
in an editorial article says it is convinced that
there is now full and ample confirmation OF the
belief that the anti Oriental riots al Vancouver
were actually organized by American lanor
agitators. 'the men whose intrigues brought san
Francisco under the domination of Ruef and
Schmitz" Continuing, the paper says IL ne
1ieves this shameful riot upon British SOIL was
gotten UP by officials Of American labor organl-
cations for the purpose of conveying to M Isnil'
the DISTINGUISHED member of the commercial de-
partrnent of the japanese foreign office. VINO IS
now at Vancouver the feelings of the labor ele-
nent of the Pacific coast
Accounting for the race prejudice shown IN
such disturbances the paper says: The plain
truth is that on account of his thrift ana IN
dustrv quite as much as on account OF the low
wages for which he works. the Asiatic is detested
as a dangerous competitor on the labor markets
which the laborites want to keep as a monopoly
in white hands
In conclusion the Times says: THE rights
of all men who visit British soil. whatever their
color or race. must be unfinchingly upheld by
the whole authority of the local government
and the Imperial crown"
