tain ideals, now perhaps rather old
fashioned, to the effect that to what
ever post one may be sent by his coun-

made secondary to duty. This beiief
may perhaps have come from Mr..

The navy department has been ad-
vised that James B. Connolly, the au-
thor whose stories of the Gloucester
fishing fleet have made him famous,
has enlisted as a yeoman in the United
States navy. Mr.. Connolly has been
assigned to the battleship Alabama and
it is said that he will be accorded GER
tain special privileges so that his work
of preparing a novel in laudation of the

is Mr.. Connelly's ambition to do for the
American navy what Kipling has done

According to the annual report Of
the Philippine commission for the fis-
cal year ended June 80, 1906, the "lit-

been driven into the Businesses of the

practically disappeared With regard
to the industrial conditions in the is

was s6,OOO,oo0. The commission rec
ommends again that an agricultural
bank be founded ON the plan of the
Egyptian Agricultural Bank for the
quicker development of the agricultural
resources of the islands. The COM
mission also declares that the Phil

for the investment of American cap

which were passed at the last session
under the same title, but with totally
different texts. The bone Of conten-
ton is the educational test, which
Senator Lodge had inserted in the
senate measure but which the house
promptly sat upon. The house is anx-
ious to go to the seat of the trouble
in the immigration question by the
appointment Of inspectors and ply
sicians with police powers at for
eign ports, thus decreasing greatly the
deportation Of unwelcome aliens who
seek to land. Apart from the educa-
tional clause, the differences undoubt-
edly can be adjusted, but there Will be
a bitter fight on that score.

Railway Magnate's Expressed
Fear Of Riding on Trains
Belittled
HIS ANALYSIS is DlsL'kED
Was Quoted as Saying Railways Dis

Engineer obeys Rules of the Road
Other News.

New York. Jan. 5,-Astonfshment and
not little dismay is apparent in spite
of the evident efforts to conceal It, Is
aroused among the railroad men here
by the published statement attributed
to James j. Hill. Comment ranges from
emphatic denial to denials SO mild as
to be virtual admissions of the truth
of the charge. Mr.. Hill was quoted
as saying:
"of late / never start on railroad
journey without wondering how it will
end-whether it will not be my last.
The enormous increase in the volume
of traffic has caused it to become
common practice on many roads to
allow three trains on block at the
same time. Practically they run on
sight"
President Newman of the New York
Central declared it is not conceivable
that Mr.. Hill has realized the strength
of the statements attributed to him.
"If I believed such conditions ex-
listed upon the New York Central" he
exclaimed, Il should not be able TO
sleep at night cannot believe Mr..
Hill meant just what he Is reported TO
have said. have known Mr. Hill LOT
years, and in all kindness to him be-
lieye he frequently says offhand things
which. if we were to write them down,
would appear to him exaggerated.
81 cannot believe any railroad can
or does countenance such reckless ais
regard of precautions necessary to the
safety OF it's passengers as this state
ment charges. ] do not hold my ROAD
I'm as an example. ] do not say two
trains are never permitted upon the
same block upon it's lines. I confess
do not know positively, for the actual
handling of trains is not under my dl-
rect supervision, but do not believe II
possible that this condition exists upon
the New York Central"
Mr.. Newman requested that his
statement be shown to- A. H. Smith,
vice president and general manager.
He was emphatic in his denial that
more than one train is ever permitted
within ore block upon the New York
Central
President William III. Truesdale, OF
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western,
announced himself unprepared to an
swer questions offhand concerning ev-
cry feature the management employed
in handling and moving trains upon
his road He admitted. however, that
more than one train might occupy
block.
you can quote me- he agreed, cas-
saying that when engineers upon our
lines find themselves confronted with
q block stop signal, they are permitted,
after coming to a full stop, to proceed
under control, as 1t is termed. We have
met with the greatest success in the
practice of this system.
Frederick D. Underwood, president
of the Erie, characterized the state
ment attributed to Mr. Hill as myth.
"Mr. Hill has never made any such
statement" he declared positively. 1T
is a smoked-up story and I don't in
tend to have it used now to smoke a
story out of me. Why, James j. Hill
goes to sleep on train and sleeps like

ONE OF THE BIGGEST AFFAIRS
Mckinley Club banquet PrOmies to BE
Notable by Comparison
with Others.

From present indications the coming an
nual banquet of the Mckinley club will be
one of the most notable affairs Of the
kind ever held in Omaha. Thus asserts
]. ]. Ryder, the spokesman for the ban
uuet committee and general press agent Of
the club.
"At a meeting OF the banquet committee
day evening"" said Mr.. Ryder 1--WE were
authorized to contract for a special car
or a special train, according to require
ment. and TO extend a formal invitation
to the state legislature to be our guests
at the annual banquet on the 18th.
1.-The committee will at once take up the
matter of securing a train, and If the cost
does not prove beyond our limit, we will
then have the Douglas delegation present
our invitation to the senators and repre-
sentatives and the state officers. If our
present intention can be carried out, we
shall bring the legislators and state OFF,
GERS down to Omaha early on the evening
OF the 18th and send them home the same
night; and we will treat them right while
we have them in charge as our guests.
Under this arrangement the members Of the
legislature would not have to waste any
of the time they want to devote to the
business of the state. The banquet will
furnish the only occasion when all our
club members will be able to meet the law
makers. and 1t will be an opportunity We
shall all deeply appreciate"

Personal Work Good.

Major Furays personal work was most
conspicuous. Possibly the greatest of his
works was the ultimate capture OF the
of the men who perpetrated the great rob-

The Union Pacific train was held up there
and registered packages amounting to
$4,000 or $4,000 were taken by the robbers,
aside from some $4,000 or $4,000 of express
packages. Major Furay started out after
the robbers and finally succeeded in run
ming them to cover somewhere in Kansas.
The whole gang, five In number, was ar
