HARVEST FOR STEEL TRUST
Japan Spending Millions Over Here
for Rails, Cars and Lo-
comotiVes

New York, May 19.-America' S indus
trial invasion of the far east is now in
full swing, and Japan is pouring a gold
en- stream into the United States for
steel rails, cars and locomotives.
Twelve million dollars already has been
expended in this country for railroad
supplies TO be used in the construction
OF the South Manchuria railroad, and it
is now learned that contracts involving
millions of dollars are now pending,
Deliveries of rails are being made, and
for the next three months steamships
chartered by Japan will ply across the
Pacific bearing valuable cargoes of
steel and iron.
Manchuria will be strained with
American steel rails from DaInV to
Mukden, and the traveller will ride in
cars of American manufacture drawn
by locomotives built in this country.
Thousands of dollars have been spent
in premiums to our manufacturers for
quick deliveries, for the Japanese insist
that these railroads must be built, and
in full operation, within two years
Price No Object.
Japan's representatives were told to
go ahead and get the railroad supplies
at all costs. Having broken one record
last February, when they purchased
$4,000 tons of steel rails at the Carnegie
mills for $2S.50 they proceeded to break
another and bought 1900 tons of rails
for S29 a ton with the stipulation that
delivery must begin next month. Steel
rail mills have all the orders they can
attend to until late in the year, but the
japanese agents said they must have
the rails, and placed their order, though
they paid the highest export price in
many years. One car company re-
ceived an order for a thousand freight
car trucks, the bodies of which will
be built in Dalny. over two million
dollars have been spent with American
locomotive building companies, and al
most every steamship from Pacific
ports has one or more locomotives
stored in its hold. Over 200 locomo-
tives have been sold to the South Man.
churian railroad.
Japanese agents here indicate th9t
S5,000,000 will have to be spent for
rails in this country before the railroad
in Manchuria is completed.

The decisive hour had arrived for the

succeeded in effecting compromise be-
tween the seven nations constituting the
Austrian part of this polygot empire in
regard to the number of deputies which
the various nations were to send to the
house in future. The essential problem
OF this compromise was formed by the
question how to secure the respective DO
sitiOn of each nation in the forthcoming
parliament.
A Encouragement of the election dis

The Czekish and Slav nationalists.
The Agrarian party.
The Christian socialist party.

Although it is still difficult to predict
the final outcome of the elections. Judging
by present indications the new lower

REFORM AFTER A
LONG STRUGGLE
Recent Elections in Austria Un-
der New Law Giving
Universal Suffrage.
CHANGE IN PARLIAMENT
NEW RACIAL LINES IN LOWER
HOUSE.

Vienna, May 19.-The Austrian elec-
tions the past week are far-reaching
in effects. The elections were the first
under the new law giving equal and
universal suffrage, a reform brought
about after protracted struggle. Even
more important than this is the change
which the law brings in the political
strength of the various mixed races
Germans, Czechs,, Bohemians, Poles,
Indians, Notwithstanding up Aus
trIa's populations The lower house OF
parliament practically is reconstructed
on new racial lines, and from now on
it will consist of SIG members. of
which there will be 233 Germans, 1O7
Czechs. SO Poles, 80 Ruthenians. "a
Slavonians, 131 Servo Croatians, IS
Italians and Roumanians.
Fight Began in 1896.
The first preparatory steps for this
evolution in electoral procedure in the
empire date back to 1896. AT that time
the Austrian lower house was COM
posed of 35S members, consisting
largely of representatives of the great
landed proprietors, the cities and the
chambers of commerce. Yielding to
ever-increasing pressure of the Social
lists, or Social Democratic party-at
that time not even represented in the
parliament-the lower house decided to
introduce the principle of universal
suffrage. This class of voters has
elected since then, on the basis of
equal suffrage, seventy-two deputies.
Accordingly, the house of deputies con-
sisted of 425 members. This partial re-
form started an uninterrupted agita-
ton of the labOring classes demanding
abolition of private franchises. The
political strife lasted nearly ten years,
till last December, when the goal of
universal and equal suffrage was
reached in the passage by the lower
house of parliament of the new uni
versal suffrage bill.
Equal Franchise for Males.
This grants an equal franchise to
every male Austrian over "a years of
age, VINO is able to read and write, and
who has been a resident for at least a
year in the place where an election is
held. This ended the long fight fer uni
VerSal suffrage initiated by the Social
Democrats.
Universal suffrage deprived the great
landed proprietors and chambers of
commerce of privileges. The chief diff
hculty to overcome was how to distrib-
ute the representation among the va
rious Austrian natiOnalities, and the
key was found finally by mutual con-
cesSiOns between the Germans and
Czechs in Bohemia. 1t was arranged
so that Bohemia shall elect $50 depu-
ties, of whom fifty-five shall be Ger
mans.
The upper house was not inclined to
accept the bill. the peers demanding
two votes for all married men over IS
years, but the upper house finally gave
way to the universal desire, shared by
the emperor, as well as by the govern
ment and the greater part of the popu-
lation

Difficult to Operate.

The Salt Lake division of the Southern
Pacific is conceded to be one of the most
difficult divisions to operate on the sys-
tens and during the past year, when
the freight and passenger traffic has been
heavier than ever before, numerous ideas
have been tried out with a view of sOly-
ing a double track business on a single
track road. Former TTainmaster A. w.
Wright insisted that it could be done with
the proper kind of motive power. There
were others who thought that it could be
done under existing conditions by max
ing a few changes in the operating de-
partment. The latter idea seems to have
prevailed. Mr.. Wright was permitted to
leave the service of the company and
other men took up the question, and the
result will soon be apparent. Whether
this change will be for better or for worse
can soon be determined, but it is evil
dent that the railroad company has come
TO the conclusion that there is nothing
TO be gained in putting too much work
on one man such as a chief train dis
patcher. and that a train dispatcher can
be easily called upon to handle too much
territory.

NEW STATIONS
WILL Do WORK
Pressure on Train DiSpatCherS'
Offices at Sparks, New,

In the hope of improving the system OF
handling traffic over the Salt Lake di-
vision of the Southern Pacific three new
train dispatching stations were opened at
u o'clock last night These are located
at Monticello Winnemucea and Nina, New.
Heretofore all of the dispatching work
has been done from Ogden and Sparks
and each Of these places will now have
but one force of three trick dispatchers
and a chief. Formerly a chief and two
sets of three dispatchers were located at
Ogden and a chief and three sets of dis
patchers were located at Sparks Under
the new arrangement there will be five
chief dispatchers, but at Monticello, Win
nemucca and Nina the chief will work
one OF the trick jobs, while at Ogden and
Sparks the chief dispatchers' work VIII

WORKOUT SOILS
TO Be RECLAIMED.
Views and Conclusions Worthy
of Attention-Lands Do Not
Wear Out.
WHAT is BEING DONE HERE
The Limited Experience OF One
Man Shows What Others
Can Do.

Editor Times Dispatch:
Sir,-For the encouragement of those
who cultivate the soil, 1T may be of
interest to state the following facts,
showing what can be done with the
so-called WORKOUT soils OF Virginia
These facts are impressed upon me, a
new citizen Of the State, as being in
striking contrast with what can be seen
in many places. Mr.. John Turner, liv-
ing in the western part OF Albemarle
county. about five miles south Of Green
wood Station. on the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad, purchased a farm OF 60S
acres in 1890. Indebtedness to the eN-
tent of $4,000, to be paid In five years,
was incurred This was fully paid off,
by 1896 with earnings from the farm.
His lands are now estimated to be
worth largely more than twice as much
as when the purchase was made. His
dwelling, barns and fences are all In
excellont condition. He has used only
a moderate amount of commercial fer
tilizer. His policy has been to feed
all the grain and hay raised to cattle
and other stock on the place. He raises
corn and other grain, and hay, culti-
waiting about $50 acres Of the tract Of
.3OS acres. His cultivated land produces
fifty bushels of corn to the acre, and
from one to two tons OF hay. per acre.

furnishes good summer grazing. There
is striking absence of broomsedge In
his fields. Mr.. Turner has developed
n large trade In selected seed corn, and in
this trade he uses considerable amount
OF corn raised by his neighbours
lie has always regarded his farm
as his saving bank. In regard
to the fertility of his soil, his proce-
dure has been one Of addition instead
OF subtraction. Estimated by$'its pro-
ducing capacity, this farm is worth at
least $40 per acre, 1t is a striking
ILLUSTRATION of what intelligent and pa
tient effort can do with lands which
were classed as worn out, Mr.. Turner
had but small means when he began.
and his policy has made the farm pro-
duce Its own fertilizer, and pay for IT.

lesson to any one Interested In the bet
