ON VERGE OF UPRISING.
seditionary Societies Are Fomenting
A Revolt.

Washington Is pecia u. - From
Shanghai advices received at the
State Department 1t appears that the
ruling dynasty in China is seriously
alarmed over the effect of the spread
of famine through the country, and
the opportunity it offers to sedition-
airy societies to enlist converts to the
cause directed against the govern
ment.
The suffering of the people is used
as capital, 1t is said, In that judicious
assuaging of want places the persons
given assistance under obligations to
the societies. The governments in
ability to relieve suffering, it is said,
has been magnified and the hardships
OF the people attributed to lack of
sympathy by the government for the
poor classes.
The information received here in
dicates that a propaganda has been
organized TO further the circulation
of stories of the character outlined,
and 1t Is said that State Department
officials fear that spread of hysteria
may engender a general uprising. If
such should be the result there is
danger that the government might
not be able to control the situation.
American and other foreign inter-
ests then would be jeopardized So
great is the concern that diplomatic
and consular officials in China have
been instructed to keep Washington
advised in regard to the situation
and every turn taken.

THE RAILROADS HALT
ON IMPROVEMENTS
Said TO Be The Result Of Adverse
Legislation.
LEGISLATION IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Pennsy to Stop Contemplated I'm
provements Estimated to Cost S25,-
100000 - Work On the New York
Terminals to Be Continued - The
Two-cent Fare Bill.

Philadelphia, Pa. Especially. - In.
view of the fact that the legislature
of Pennsylvania is about to make II
unlawful for a railroad to charge
more than two cents per mile for pas
Benger traffic in this state, and is also
about to place a tax on anthracite
and bituminous coal, the Pennsyl-
vanfa Railroad, 1t is understood, is
about 70 follow the example of other
railroads and order several improve
ments now under way TO be stopped.
The cost of these improvements and
others in contemplation, which have
been and are to be cancelled, approXi-
mate $25, 100000. The work in New
York Is not likely to be halted.
In statement just issued the
Pennsylvania Railroad prepared the
way for an announcement as to the
holding up of improvements. This
statement, which was issued on its
face as a plan against the enactment
OF the two-cent per mile law, in de-
tall tells Of the heavy increase in ex-
penditure when the Pennsylvania
will have to make as the result of
higher prices for material and the
II Is we'll known that the railroad
company has given up all hope OF
blocking the passage of the two
cent bill, which has been approved
by the state House OF Representa-
tives, and Is now up for its third and
final reading before the State Senate.
1t is, therefore, not difficult to
fathom the meaning of the statement.
In his annual report to the stock
holders of the Pennsylvania Railroad
pany about a week ago, President
James McRea told of the problems
before the company and suggested
that 1t would be a wise policy on
the part of the company to reduce
Its capital expenditures to a mini
mum, avoid new undertakings and
restrict its expenditures for the pres
ent to such work as was now under
way and must be completed"
