king and KAISER TO
CONFER With TAFT

Berlin, Nov. 11.-Emperor William
will see Secretary Taft at Osborne
house, Isle of Wight, during the for
mer's visit to England. A message
conveying this wish was sent through
the German embassy at Washington,
it being understood that Mr.. Taft has
finally decided to return to the United
States by way OF Europe. It is regard
ed as likely that Mr.. Taft will also
seek an audience with King Edward,
as for the American secretary to visit
the German emperor without paying
equivalent respect to the King might
wbe regarded as discourteous.
So much has been said about MI.
Taft planning to see the emperor that
some Of the other governments have
seemingly become curious in regard to
whether anything is intended by the
sep taken by the American govern
ment. Ambassadors Bryce and Jusse'
rand, it is asserted here, already have
made inquiries on the subject at the
state department at Washington. ana
it is further assreted that there is 8
feeling at the foreign offices of London
and Paris that Mr.. Taft would be
slighting King Edward and President
Fallieres If he did not ask to see them
on his way home or if he stopped only
at st. Petersburg and Berlin en- route
homeward.

MILLIONS TO GO into
GUGGENHEIM RAILROAD

Seattle, Nov. 11.-Twenty- five mill
ion dollars is a conservative estimate
of the expenditures planned by the
Guggenheim interests in connection
with the construction of the Copper
River and Northwestern railway, in
Alaska, which will be tuilt by N. J.
Heney, who built the Whine Pass and
Yukon. It is the biggest contract ever
made in connection with the develop.
ment of Alaska.
Mr.. Heney's contract was signed
when New York was in the midst OF
a financial fury caused by Wall street
racklessnees. The signing Of the con.
tract indicates the confidence that the
promoters of the projected railway
have in their extensive property hold

are we'll satisfied with the financial
situation throughout the country.

APPLE CROP SHORT
Yield for Entire Country Much Below
the Average.


the Average.
New York, Nov. 1.-THE apple
crop of the United States for 1907, as
estimated by the American Agricul-
turist in it's report published Saturday,
is scant 1000, 900 barrels, materi-
ally short of last year. What is of
greati Importance is the shortage is in
suchc commercial orchard sections as
Western New Y ork, nearly all of Mich
igan and the entire southwest. There
is what may be set down as an abso-
Lutte fai ure in Kansas, Missouri aud
Nebraska. New York state has good
many apples, but the total is only
about one-fourth to one-third of the
full yield. Pennsylvania has fairly
abundant tontals. New England has
rather more apples than last year, due
solely to the fact that Maine has a
good crop.

TAFT ADVISES FILIPINOS
AS TO Duties OF PARTIES

Manila, Nov. 7.-Secretary Taft, at
an address at banquet given by the
Prosressistas party last night, spoke
of the history of party divisions, and
declared that their existence was
necessary part of the changes in the
Philippines. "The only method of
conducting popular government, % he
said, ais by political parties. The
Federal party; at the time of its or
Ranization, was in no sense political.
When it existed it was the only party
organized to convince the people to
accept the promises of the Americans.
. 1t worked bravely and faithfully to
this end, and to such an extent that
much of the success of the early gov
eminent of the islands was in small
measure due to the Federalists. They
sought peace and taught the people to
seek peace.
"After the firm establishment of
the government had been accomplish
ed, change was natural. In cleo
tions for members of the assembly it
was natural for the people to divide.
Knowing and believing that both
the Nationalist and Progressistas
have the interests of the government
at heart, the question of which shall
control is settled only by an election,
sometimes casting party information
one way and sometimes another.
''The first principle of party politics
necessary to learn is that defeat must
not cause encouragement. The first
lesson in self government that voters
have to learn is to be good losers, and
when that is learned, to be good win
ners, because self government imposes
restraint on both sides. The minority
must not strive to strike down the
work of their opponents because they
are not in control, and the majority
must so conduct affairs as to show
that the people have heart in the gov
eminent. Nothing gives greater
pleasure or more confidence in the
success of what we are doing than the
action of the assembly. All matters
up to date have to be treated in q con.
sentative manner both by the minor
ity and the majority. All I ask is
that the minority, while pointing out
the faults of the majority, may
always conduct itself with pride, 60 as
to show that the assembly is a success.

the fine for rebating, but one member
said an appeal would undoubtedly be
taken. President Ripley said: I'VE

don't,think We were guilty Of any vio-

JUDGE WELLBORN ASSESSES Pen.
Atty FOR RELATING
Five Thousand Dollars on Each
of Sixty-Six Counts Railroad
Claimed Amounts Were Not
Rebates, But Were Damages
on Goods Shipped.

Los Angeles, Nov. 9.-Judge Olin
Wellborn, in the United States dis
trict court, fined the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad Company$33O.-
900 for rebating The fine was what the
court denominated ''an intermediate
penalty" the maximum which might
have been assessed being 81, 1870, 900
and the minimum $4,000. The
court reviewed the case IN a written
opinion of some length in which it
stated that there were sufficient
doubtful and extenuating circum-
stance to preclude the possibility of
a maximum sentence, and yet sufh-
cient intention of wrong doing shown
to make impossible minimum pen
atty.
The Santa Fe company was convic-
ted on October II last by jury in the
federal court of granting rebates to
the Grand Canyon Lime and Cement
Company, of Arizona. It was found
guilty on all of the sc counts charged
in the indictment after but an hours
elaboration. The, rebates, which
were given on shipments of lime and
cement from Nelson, Ariz., to Los
Angeles, ranged in amounts from So
cents to $15. The company claimed
that these amounts were not rebates
on the regular freight rate, but were
in the form of damage to goods ship
ped, which were allowed after such
claims had been regularly presented
and proved in each instance.
The court did not take that view Of
the case, however, and stated that it
was not convinced by any means that
these amounts represented bona fide
settlements to claims"
''It is hard to believe" the court
continued in it's opinion, ''that the
agents of the corporation did not
know that they were violating the
law. In any event such ignorance Of
the law is almost equivalent to q
criminal knowledge Of it."
The Santa Fe remains to be tried
upon one other indictment, ten counts,
in connection with the Same matter.
The Grand Canyon Lime and Co.
ment Company and President Schrum,
OF the latter company. were also in
dicted and remain to be tried. Attor-
neys for the Santa Fe declined to
discuss the fine.
