6. 6. w. POLITICS INTERESTING.
Stronger Domination by British Inter.
ests Possible.

Minneapolis, Dec. 27--A. b. Stickney,
nresident of the Chicago Great west
ern railway. in personally laying before
the English stockholders his plan 1or
financing the outstanding gold-note
obligation of the company, amounting
to sS,OOO,0OO may bring about a climax
with reference to the future controi Oh
the property. His arrival III Aohoon
is being awaited with interest ny
railroad financial men generally.
While Mr.. Stickney's announcement
that he would go to England to perfect
the details of the new financial plan
is the only thing officially admitted,
IT is believed here that the question OIL
his retention of the presidency is really
paramount.
Two courses lie open to the English
holders. They may retain Mr.. SUCK
new. accent the unfavorable weather
and labor conditions Of recent years as
mainly responsible for the unsatisfac-
tory financial showing of the road, pass
a vote of confidence in the manage
ment and wait for better developments.
The other course would mean closer
control on the part of the Ensllsn
stockholders, and the operation OF the
road, for time, under direction OF, or
in close connection with the London
finance headquarters.
If the latter course were adopted
the most interesting northwest railroad
situation for many years would be
seen. The Great Western would then
be more directly dominated by Eng
lish capitalists who are also Interested
to some extent in Canadian railroad
property. Whether, in the event that
the Englishmen assumed control OF the
Great Western some combination or
consolidation Of interests would not
gradually work about, is an interest
ing question
The Canadian Pacific interests,
strong financially, aggressive and con-
stantly extending. are known to have
looked for years upon Chicago
entrance as inaly necessity for the
strategic position Of their road. That,
in the event of the passing of the
Stickney control this might in time
come about is not only possible but it
seems the logical solution of a problem
that has been much thought over in
railroad circles for several days

powAGER MuzzLEs THE PRESS.
Issues Degree Saying State Affairs
Must Not Be Discussed.

Shanghai, Dec. 27.-Alarmed at the
tone of the provinces toward the poll
cy of the Peking government In bor-
rowing British money to construct
railways. the, empress dowager has
issued IL decree of a reactionary char
acter forbidding people to discuss state
affairs or holding meetings and order
ing the press not to refer to such
questions.
1t is believed that this step is In
consequence of the MANAGING tone as
sumed by the British and Japanese
allies in reference to various out
standing questions now agitating the
country, in regard to which there is
undoubtedly much right upon the
Chinese side.
Surprise and ridicule are general
among foreigners in China and Japan
at the daring of the Japanese official
attempt In London to explain Viscount
Okuma's speech al simply meaning
or implying the stimulating of Japan
ese commercial shipping enterprise.
Almost all the foreign press in both
countries commented on the speech
at the time as being direct incitement to
India to rise against the British. with
Japan sympathizing in the movement.

could p.operly advertise the idea that
there is much money easily made with
smaller farms and more intensive
farming in Iowa. it is believed that
many of these farmers who are now
turning their faces towards other
slates would turn their faces toward
more intensive farming in Iowa.
Whether or not they could be thus
influenced and what kind Of advertis-
ing would influence them, are the
problems that are bothering the
board.
The board was looking in that d.
rection when Professor Van Pelt OF
the agricultural college at Ames was
placed on the program at the last
Farmers Institute to tell the possible
profits on an eighty acre dairy farm.
He showed that by the use of ordinary
grade cows o. profit beyond interest
on investment and all other considera-
tions of $1,000 to $4,000 a year could
be made and that with the use of pure
blood cows profit Of $4,000 to $4,000
q. nnlllI hp made which is more
money than most Of the 160 acre farms
make where crops are the staple. Fur
thermore. he did not then include
nearly all Of the possibilities Of income
from such a farm.
That Iowa must in time come to
more intensive farming Secretary
Simpson believes is easily proven by
reference to the farmers of Europe
where intensive farming is resorted to
as necessity.

kina's Companion Arrested,

East st. Louis, H., Dec. 27.--Elmer
Weaver, manager of a roller skating
rink at Sorrento, H., was arrested as
he stepped from train here today on
a tip by the police that he had knowl-
edge of the robbery early today at
Smithboro. Weaver thereupon con-
fessed that, acting on instructions of
Marshal Brown, of Sorrento. he ac-
cepted the proposition Of Harry King,
a skating rink acquaintance, to assist
in robbing the Vandalia railroad sta
ton at Smithboro. He said King was
shot five times and is now being given
medical attention at a farm near Van
dalia. He, himself, was arrested as a
ruse, but soon was released and came
here on his return to Sorrento. Ac-
cording to Weaver, King is dangerous

Fog Responsible for the Accident
General News.

Camden, N. j., Dec 27-Thfee were
killed and more than dozen others
injured in a rear-end collision on the
elevated tracks of the Pennsylvania
railroad today short distance from
the station in this city The cars were
so badly smashed that 1t will be sew
eral hours before the exact number Of
persons caught in the wreck will be
known. Fire added to the difficulties
of the work Of rescue.
The trains involved were the ex-
press from Atlantic City and the Penn
berton accommodation train. These
trains are due in Camden at S:31.
There was a very thick fog when the
accident occurred and it is believed
this condition is the primary cause
of the collision.
The trains came together with con-
siderable force. The tender of the
Pemberton train telescoped the first
car Of it's train, killing three persons
and injuring at least four. AS far as
known, no one was killed on the At
lantic City train, but about half
dozen persons were injured.
The wreckage Immediately took fire
from hot Goals from the Pemberton
locomotive and the police and fire de-
partments of Camden were called into
service. The fact that the collision oc-
Cured on the elevated structure made
the work Of rescue difficult. The res-
cuers could not reach the structure
from the street, but had to go to the
wreck from the station a; the foot Of
Market street. The fire was extin-
guished before it had reached the VIC
tins pinned under the wreckage.
The prompt action of the fire de-
partment prevented the flames from
the burning cars reaching the pintoned
passengers and all were rescued alive.
Several of the injured may die.
