Understood From Traction Of
fetal That the Traction
Company Will Yield.
LATEST AS TO FREIGHT.
BELIEVED THAT DESIRE TO PRO-
VIDE A THROUGH SERVICE FOR
FREIGHT FIGURING IN THE SIT.
UATION,

1t is understood from a traction Off
cial that within a short time the Terre
Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern traction
company will accept the terms of the
city of Richmond regarding the oper-
ating of freight cars through the city.
Not word from President Hugh Nc
Gowan, of the company, or his associ-
ates, has been heard by the city Off
cials in regard to the freight question
since last March, when representa-
tive of the company positively stated
that freight cars would not be run
along the route stipulated by a city or
dinance.
The company now realizes that 1t
has everything to lose and nothing to
gain in holding out against the city,
so a word stating that the company
has agreed to accept the terms offered
by the city, will not be received in the
nature of surprise.
Through Freight Service.
The company plans to operate a
through freight service between the
two terminal points of its line in the
immediate future and it realizes that
to build freight line which would
avoid Richmond would be too expen-
sive project. For this reason, it IS
stated, the company has decided to &C
cept the terms Of the city and run its
freight cars on North Twenty-third
street. 1t is probable that the work
of completing this line will be finished
by early fall. In the meantime, If
the company shows good faith in build
ing the line, the ordinance prohibiting
the operation of freight cars on Main
street, will be suspended until the
company can operate its freight cars
over the north end route.
The news that the company intends
to accept the terms of the city will be
gladly received by local shippers who
have been put to great inconvenience
and some financial loss in standing
back of council and the administration
in their fight against the traction in
terests. 1t is understood that the COM
pany still holds an option on the prop
erty formerly used as the Strattan
wagon repair shop, FIT. Wayne avenue,
and that freight station will be built
there.

kana Yu Wei. Reformer.

Kang Yu Wei, president of the Chin
csc Reform association and for the last
nine years probably the most picturesque
and forceful figure In Chinese affairs is
on n visit to this country. Kang Yu Wei
enjoys himself much better In this coun-
try than in China. In fact his head is not
safe at home. 1t is only by dint of much
and expeditions travelling that he man
ages to keep 1t on his shoulders. Re
formers are not popular in China even
now, although some of the doctrines that
Kang Yu Wei began preaching back in
1898 are now being put in practice.
kang Yu Wei was one of the organizers
of the party that tried to launch China
on the path of reform. He won the
complete confidence of the young EN-
peror, who was induced by his jealous
and patriotic mentor between June ii
and September 10 to promulgate twenty
six DEGREES announcing reforms OF the
most revolutionary character in the pol
Icy and government of China. A week
after his last decree the Emperor was
swept aside by the Dowager Empress.
Kang was a fugitive and several of his
colleagues had been executed
The Dowager Express seems to have
had a change of heart regarding reforms
or else she believed In them ell along
but foresaw that they must come grad
ually, for she Is now carrying out many
of KanE Yu Wells Ideas.

Ellis Island Graft.

The reporters for one of the New York
newspapers have unearthed an unpleasant
story on Ellis Island the threshold to the
land of freedom for the millions of i'm
migrants that come to our shores. Stated
briefly the story is that each immigrant
is practically forced to pay 81 for a box
of food that is worth 80 cents. In theory
there are cheaper boxes but some how
or other the restaurant attendants can
never find them. The 81 packages con-
tain:
One loaf of soggy rye bread.
Two pieces of sausage of less than
a pound each.
Six waferlike pies, Weighing a total
of twenty-four ounces.
There is no law that says the iinmi-
grant shall buy but the investigation
of the reporters has shown that 80 per
cent OF them go away with a box of
food. A reporter who spent day at the
island thus describes what he saw:
Few of the newly landed had the
temerity to refuse to buy. The men who
drove them to the counters wore uniforms
of blue with gilt braid and letters. and
the awed foreigners doubtless did not
understand that they had passed beyond
the hands of government officials. When
ever an immigrant was told to buy box
