The annual stockholders meeting of the
Union Pacific Railroad at Salt Lake City
resulted in a complete triumph for the
Hartman ticket, although there was
protesting minority at the meeting.
The New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad will now proceed rapidly
to install the entire system with electric
power, owing to the successful completion
of the trial installation on the division
between New York City and Stamford,
Conn.
The outcome of the trial of T. L. Ford,
chief counsel of the San Francisco Street
Railway Company, who was indicted for
bribing city supervisors, was a disagree
ment of the jury, which stood eight for ac-
quittal and four for conviction. Another
trial is already in progress.
United States district attorneys in va
rious parts of the country have been in
structed by Attorney General Bonaparte
to institute suits against large number
Of railroad companies to recover penalties
incurred by them for alleged violations
of the safety appliance law.

At the annual meeting of the Chicago
and Alton railroad, r. II. Hartman fail
ed to be reelected a director and the rame
of his friend, James StilIman, was left off,
this marking the complete ascendancy of
the Rock Island interests in Alton and
victory for the Moorc-Reid people.
The annual report of the Baltimore ani
Ohio road shows gross earnings for the
past year of $SS, ,562 924, an increase over
the two previous years. The net earn

Much discussion has been caused by the
report Of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company for the last fiscal year, showing
a deficit of over $3G4000, while during
the same period the company paid dam

of $1,217, ,5S6, or per cent of the gross
receipts This does not include the cost

OIL Trusts Spy Methods.

While hunting for some explanation OF
the big loans shown on the books of the
Standard Oil Company for last year Gov
ernment's Counsel Kellogg brought to
light the trusts system of spying, known
as the Statistical department" 1t was
the purpose of this department to keep
TAB on all sales by rivals through an in
tricate spy system. 1t keeps record Of
every barrel. can or tank car load which
has been taken from the oil fields by
competitors, and traces this oil to tho
market, with each charge for transporta-
tion and the final selling price noted. An

All over the country farmers are fin
ishing up their seasons work and taking
account of profits. Most of them are sat
istied with the years labors, for, while
crops are not so great in volume as they
have been for the past two or three years,
prices are such that the farmers of the
United States will receive almost $1,000
O0O,OOO more for their products than they
got last year.
What this means to the country may be
guessed when it is reflected that the farm
er is the basis of prosperity. When he is
well off, all men in other occupations are
comfortable. When hard times seize him,
all other lines of business are at once af-
fcCtcd. He is the foundation of the ma
tional veal. If the farmer has no money
to deposit in the rural banks, banks have
no money to lend manufacturers and mer-
chants. If he has no crops. railroads can
not earn dividends Shortage Of money
at once reduces industry and lowers the
rate of wages. If it continues, thousands
of men are thrown out of employment and
misery becomes general.
On the other hand when the farmer Is
prosperous. money and credit can be OBJ
tanned for merchandising and manufac-
turing. railroads thrive, labor's reward
increases, afiluence spreads over the coun-
try The earth is the mother of all
wealth. Everything man uses comes out
of it originally, and the men who devote
themselves to cultivatng the soil are the
medium between earth's riches and the
rest of mankind.
Farmers should be happy as this win
ter draws in. With abundant profits, in
peace and plenty, they can reflect that
their money is clean. They have not
grown rich through robbing other men.
They have created wealth. Every dollar
they possess represents so much more to
feed and clothe humanity, SO much more
of comfort and happiness.
The American farmer ought to be COM
Portable in mind as well as in body. The
soil has given him a competence. He has
paid off his mortgage long ago. He has a
good home and owns his broad acres. He
has a balance in the bank, and as he looks
forward he can see plenty in the future.
He is much better off than most men,
although he may not realize it.-Chicago
Journal.

The Control of TubercuIOsis.

The third annual report of the Henry
Phipps Institute of Philadelphia, whose
work is the study. treatment and preven-
ton of tuberculosis, as summarized by
Charities and the Commons, presents
many items of interest and encourage
ment to those who are seeking to arrest
the ravages of consumption. One is the
racial susceptibility to the disease. For
oeign born citizens brought to the insti-
.tute form nearly one-half the burden Of
its work for the year. The countries
which sent it the heaviest burdens in Or
der of sequence were Russia, Ireland,
Germany, England, Italy, Austria and
Scotland. The same order holds good for
the cases which came from the second
generation, namely, the children born Of
immigrants. Only 31.3 per cent of all
the patients treated were of native an
.cestry one generation back. Children born
of mixed parentage most frequently be-
came victims when the union OF parents
was between Irish and native born, and
next between Irish and English. The
claim often made that tuberculosis does
not exist to any great extent among the
Hebrews is partially borne out by the
mortality statistics In large cities; that
IA, while the disease is very prevalent
among the Hebrews it seldom takes on a
fatal form. There seems TO be racial
immunity against the tOxine of the tu-
bercle bacilli, but not against its growth.
The institute finds that the frequency
with which residence is changed by the
consumptive poor constitutes menace to
public health and furnishes strong ar
cument in favor of registration of tuber-
culosis. 1t is also urged that disinfec-
ton of houses when vacated by consump-
tiyes. whether by death or removal, should
be practiced everywhere. 1t is interest
ing to note that in Philadelphia every
ward in which an institution for the
treatment of tuberculosis exists showed a
reduction of the death rate from the
disease. while some of the adjoining
~Uards have had an increase.

Convention of Trust CURRIERS'.

At Chicago 400 delegates appointed by
State Governors met, under the auspices
of the National Civic Federation, to dis
cuss the curbing of trusts. President But
Ter of Columbia university. who presided,
made an address, In which he warned
against premature or ill-considered meas
ures for the regulation Of public service
corporations, lest they disturb that faith
which civilized man has in his fellows and
upon. which rests the whole enormous
structure of our credit system" He add
ed that If this were destroyed there would
be few corporations of any kind left to
regulate. At the same time he admitted
that the country was face to face with
new economic conditions and abuses
which must be checked. He thought that
the Sherman antitrust law commits the
alton to too extreme policy by exalting
competition over cooperation. Many
economists of national reputation took
part in the discussions which followed or
delivered set addresses. Bankers, mer-
chants and labor leaders were also heard.
Judge Grosscup aired his favorite plan
for a national corporation commission and
Samuel Gompers said that the trade
union was the proper accompaniment OF
the trust. The majority favored some
form of federal regulation of all corpora
tions. Many of the delegates took the
same position as that of President But
Ter against the Sherman antitrust law,
it being the sense of the convention that
the law was more at fault than the trusts
for existing conditions.

PEACE CONGRESS RECORD.
Net Results OF the InternatiOna1
Conference at the Hague.

Net Results Of the InternatiOna9
Conference at the Hague.
The net results of the International
peace conference at The Hague, which ex-
tended from June % to Oct. Is, are, in
the opinion of Gen. Horace Porter, a
prominent member of the American dele
CATION, far beyond expectations, instead
OF being a disappointment, as has been
frequently reported in cable dispatches.
Gen. Porter said they had done the work
they were sent to do, namely: to estab-
lish the principle of the inviolability of
private property at sea as rule of In
ternational law. lie says they secured
foc this the support of a large majority
of the powers represented, although they
failed to win unanimous assent. Besides
this, the conference has placed restric-
tiors upon the use of floating mines has
forbidden the boinbardment of undefend-
ed sea coast towns; has prohibited the
ievying of contributions by threats; has
shielded the non-combatant in war time;
has strengthened the provisions for relief
of the wounded, and has taken precau-
tions against revival Of privateering by
ltnsisting that converted merchant vessels
he formally enrolled upon the naval list
and commanded by a naval officer. And,
finally, just before adjournment, the plan
of permanent Court of Arbitration was
agreed upon, with only a few o; the small
er nations dissenting, not from the prin-
ciple, but as to the method of conducting
negotiations, holding that the judges
should be appointed upon the basis of the
equality Of all nations. As to the collec-
tion of debts by force of arms, the Porter
resolution forbidding the employment Of
force until after arbitration should have
been refused, or after an award had been
set at naught, was unanimously accepted.
At the closing session, President Neli-
doff asked the conference to render hom-
age to President Roosevelt for proposing
second conference, and was authorized
to send him a telegram expressing graft
tude.
The efforts to establish an International
high court of justice and obligatory arbi-
tration were unsuccessful, largely owing
TO disagreement as to the method of its
creation. although the principle of obliga-
tory arbitration was formally adopted.
The right of the different rulers to sign
the various conventions or agreements
will be open until June 80, 1905.
The general expenses of the conference
approximated $3,O0O,OO0. nearly half Of
which was spent for kilograms, and over
100000 to pay for the numerous dinners
given in honor of different delegates.

TO BRING MORE GOLD.
Sale of Farm Products Abroad to
Relieve Money Difficulties.

Relieve Money Difficulties.
Outweighing all that the mcst powerful
6nanciers of the country could do, the
American farmer has come to the rescue
Of the finances of the nation and is reliev-
ing the money difficulties. The great
American staples-wheat, cotton, tobacco.
meats-are on their way to Europe, this
being the season of the year when Ameri-
can products are marketed abroad. In
return the United States is receiving
credit for many million dollars abroad,
which can be converted speedily into a
stream of gold flowing into the country.
1t is this fact which is expected to pro-
vide lasting relief, and which backs up
the efforts of the bankers and financiers
Of the country with such force as to make
it virtually certain that the coming
months will be ones of ease in the money
markets.
The natural resources of the country
promise to exert even greater influence
than the sale of American securities
abroad. The latter have suffered dis
credit, to some extent, under recent pres
sure. The intrinsic value of the products
of the farmer, to which must be added
those Of the mines and oil fields, and their
colossal aggregate at this time Of the
year is beyond the reach of financial dis
trust, above the power of Wall street.

Terrible Disaster in Bokhara, Prov.
ince of Russian Turkestan.
PEOPLE BURIED BY MOUNTAIN.
Horror Follows Recent Series of
Severe Earthquakes.

The whole OF the town Of Karatagh,
In Bokhara, Russian Turkestan, has
been destroyed and the entire popula-
tiOn, numbering about $1,000, was bur-
led by a tremendous mountain slide
following the recent earthquake there.
1t Is declared that scarcely score Of
the people have survived, and that
their sufferings are pitiable. One re-
port is to the effect that the Governor
Of Karatagh and his mother are the
only survivors.
The slide was caused by the recent
severe earthquakes in the mountains.
Karatagh Is situated in a narrow val
ley, with precipitous mountains tower
ing above it. Although landslides are
frequent in that region, following
earthquakes, the people remained in
the town, and when the immeasurable
weight Of rock crushed down upon
them they were caught in trap.
The entire town, it is said, Is buried
from view. Hundreds were entombed
in their homes. The cold Is severe and
adds greatly to the suffering of the few
survivors. The mountaineers hurried
to the scene and are caring for the liv-
ing, but owing to the danger of fur
ther rock slips it is impossible to at
tempt to reach those buried in the
ruins.
Bokhara, or, as it is sometimes call
ed, Turkestan. lies high up in the
mountainous regions of Asia, with Rus
sian Turkestan to the north and Af-
ghanistan on the south. 1t is a dreary
expanse of arid plains, bordered and
intersected by mountains. Its popula-
ton is estimated at 100000, not in

The country is famous for it's horses

Transcaspian Railway has improved
the Industrial condition Of the country,
which for ages depended on camel car
avans to carry its produce to outside
markets and bring back the firearms,
the powder and the few other necessa-

Although a region of poverty now,
Bokhara was the seat of powerful
rulers in the middle ages. The people
still retain their courage, but little else
of their former greatness.
