DISCUSSED RATES
 IN THE SOUTHWEST
A. N. Brown of E. P. 6 s. W Goes to ChicagO-interstate
 Freight Affected,

A. N. Brown, general freight agent of the Southwestern, discussed the new freight rates in Fl PasO just be- fore leaving for Chicago.
 These rates will not affect rates within the state," said Mir. Brown, but only shipments to Texas from interstate points, and these are ne1th- CT unreasonable nor oppressive. These new rates affect the entire country and are made necessary by increased expenses, adverse legislation and oth- CT hardships which the railroads are compelled to bear.
 During the last year and a half the payrolls of the railroads have been increased about s1O0, 1000, GOO a year by threats of a general strike If the de mands of the men were not complied with, and legislation restricting the hours of labor of trainmen, englne- men, operators, signalmen and other employes costs the railroads S25,O0O,- 600 a year more. Then, legislation passed by the last congress, reducing compensation paid railroads for han ding United States mail, about SI2,' 600. 900 per annum, has been taken from the revenues of the companIes, and the employers liability act, passed at the last session of congress, and which applies to no corporation except transportation companies, cuts of from railroad companies all protection against personal injury claims by em ployes and makes them liable in cases of accidents to employees who may De injured. even though carelessness oi the employe may be largely responsi ble for the injury. This places the loss on the company entirely and the only way in which the burden can be placed where it belongs, and where the framers of the law intended il should rest-upon the entire communi ty-is by au increase in rates which will compensate for the new burden imposed.

NJ INTRIGUE kT HAGUE
 AMONG LATIN AMERICANS
Story to That Effect Cabed From Paris Is Treated With Sco by DpIomats-Tale That Germany Is Power latn- Americans Are Looking to for Support the
 Height of AbSurdib.

a dead letter. Germany would begin within the year to slice of the territory of the L.atins. The Latin-Americans know this, and that is why they refuse seriously to discuss the Paris story of The Hague intrigue.
 The alarm of some very worthy American patriots because this govern 'ment is not keeping pace with Europe in developing aerial navigation is not shared by officials of the war depart ment. They are very we'll satisfied they say, with the progress they have made; and while they do not write the sentiment into their official reports they also are very well satisfied that European powers should do the early and costly experimenting.
 It is pointed out at tae war depart ment that there is a vast difference be tween aerial and marine navigation. Il takes two or three years to build a battleship, but any airship of a speci fled pattern can be built in that many months. It is not necessary, there fore. to build air ships with their use proposed so far in the future. More, over. none of the aerial experts vel knows just where he lis at" It is yet to be determined whether the diri gibIe balloon or the aeroplapa is the most practical for military purposes and so long as the building of air shiFe is in the experimental stage, this gov ernment is not seriously anxious to be in the van of experimenters. When some one has built an air ship and demonstrated that it is as effective ir practice as in theory, it will be time enough, say our air ship men, to be gin the building of a fleet of aeria fighting craft.
 The newspapers have poked fun al Senator Jonathan Bourne ever since was born in his fertile brain the idea of a second elective term" for Pres ident Roosevelt, whether the president would or no. They have been ever more hilarious over his latest proposi ton that Judge Taft should give the American people a pledge that, wher it came time for him to leave the White tHouse, he would not attempt to die tate the selection of his successor. Possibly it is because the idea came from Bourne that it has been ridiculed There are certain very eminent mel holding office under the present admin istration who think the plan bristlint full of merit. They do not critcis, Mir. Roosevelt's efforts in behalf of Mir Taft, but they contend that the use 0 federal patronage by the president either to continue himself in office O to determine his successor is full o peril to American institutions. It i! likely nothing will come of Senato BOurne's suggestion, but had the ide;
 been advanced by Mir. Roosevelt, fo instance, it would have been hailed al
 exalted statesmanship.

die. the very foundations of her life fell in ruins.
 The old man fingered on. Tile may grow better" said the doctors. "He may even regain his speech and his mind. but it will be for a short time only. It is a question of weeks at the best. He can never attend to business again"
 Virginia knew nothing of business and, despite capable subordinates, the lack of the customary firm hand at the helm grew daily more apparent, until at last the lawyers told her thai she must face the situation and make arrangements for the future.
 As a first step, she went to her fathers office and looked through the papers in his desk And almost the first packet she opened was a shcsf of old florists bills.
 Even then she did not understand. Instead, she wondered. and the won der grew as she realized the length of time and the amount of the purchases represented. They ran back more than ten years and counted up hun dreds of dollars annually And her [ father was not rich! And all for roses, For roses!
 The blood fled from her face and she gasped for breath as suspicion first dawned. With trembling fingers she fluttered the bills and rated their dates. Here was the date of her grad uation, here that of her debut, here a birthday, there a Christmas. Merciful heavens! Her dream hero and her old father were one.
 In a daze she remembered that he had declared again and again that the way to succeed was to appear success ful; to be popular was to seem popu- lar; to gain admirers was to seem to have them already. She recalled his anxiety-anxiety over which she had smiled-that she should marry well before death should leave her double | orphan, not too well off in this world's g | goods. Oh! it was all plain now. He
 had set out to make her a social sue, ! cess. and he had succeeded. And by
 the fullness of his success he had ! ruined her life. With a less measure
 she might long since have been a happy wife!
 It was easy now to understand the reason for numberless petty econo' | mies-economies that had bought her l roses-economies that alwayssaffected
 not her, but him alone, and that he
 had passed of as personal desires. For a long time she sat and pom

STABBING AFFRAY
Last Week at Shelter City Between

 Severe Della Cruz was stabbed Fri day in a fight with some of his coun- trymen which occurred about fifty yards from McKays' saloon on Sixth street, toward the International line.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.- Latin-Am- erican diplomats stationed fin Washing ton have only scorn for the story cabl- ed from Paris to the effect that at the recent Hague conference the Latin-Anl- erican republics intrigued with Japan and Germany against the United States They point out the absurdity of beliey- ing that Latin-Americans would prefer two such land-grabbing powers as Ger many and Japan to the United States, which has furnished convincing eyi dence that it has no designs on Latin American territory.
 The Paris story represented Brazil as the IeacTng spirit in stirring up feeling against the United States, and Brazil, said the Paris story, is ambit' ious to dominate a union of South Am erican states. This might very well be true. so far as BraziFs ambition is con- cerned, but that the other Latin-AmeTi, can republics would countenance such a program is absurd on its face to one acquainted with Latin American feeling. Brazil is Portuguese, speaks the Portuguese language and borrows it's customs and styles from Lisbon. The rest of Latin America is Spanish, speaks the Spanish language and looks to Madrid for its inspirations. The Spanish republics would much rather be dominated by the English speaking Americans than the Portuguese speak, ing Brazilians
 It is recognized by diplomatists ey- erywhere that Brazil's isolation in lan- guage and modes of thought is an ef- fectiye barrier to any real union ot the Latin-American republics. But even aside from this obstacle, which is re garded as insuperable, the time has passed for the Latin-American union with the Yankee PeriP' as it's incen' tive. It is not so very long ago that Latin-Americans were distrustfui of and feared the United States, but both the distrust and fear were dispelled when Secretary Root paid his visit to the republic to the south of us. The benefits of Mir. Roots visit to our Lat in neigbbors are not yet generally rec ognized, but to those in Washington who keep up with Latin-American af- fairs there are almost daily evidences that genuine good will has taken the place of the former distrust.
 But the Paris story reaches the heights of absurdity when it represents Germany as one of the powers to which the Latin-Americans are looking fol assistance against the United States It has been an open secret for years that Germany was anxious to establish colonies in South America and that only the vitality of the Monroe doctrine has prevented her gobbling up the ter ritory of some of the weaker republics Should Latin-America join with Ger many to make the doctrine of MonrOe

EXCITING TIME IN THE WOODS.
Death Narrowly AVerted by "Teddy's'
 Presence of Mind.

The tiger crouched for a moment tc take breath, then, gathering all his strength. he sprang again.
 This time he almost succeeded ir touching my shoe q could not draw up my feet for fear of overbalancins myself), and I felt the hot fetid breath from his mouth fan my face.
 In a silence which seemed to en force his determination he prepared for a third spring-a spring which knew must end fatally to me. Al hope seemed to have fled, and l had given myself up for lost, though still continued to scream feebly, when an answering shout vas borne back tc me and I caught the sound of running feet.
 The tiger heard them, too, and turned instantly to face his new foe; and a second. later Teddy, rife fir hand. came into sight.
 His bewildered glance fell on me From where he stood he could not sec the beast. which now started to worn it's way slowly toward him, it's body nearly touching the ground and a lit tic track of crimson marking 1t: course
 Its therei It's there," I cried historically, and fortunately he un derstood what meant.
 Never for a moment did he lose hi! presence of mind, but, cooking hi' rife. quietly awaited the bTute's on slaught A slight waving of the gras' alone showed him. as he stood on th' ground, the direction from which thu danger was coming; but I, from m! point Of vantage. could watch th' whole scene. a helpless spectator.
 The brilliant eastern sunshine lit ul Te6dy's quiet, set face and the gleam ing yellow and black of his adversary The trees stirred softly in a gentle breeze that had sprung up, and cuckoo called quite close. as it migh have done in a peaceful English wood Suddenly there was a flash, roar was it the noise of the rife or the tri umphant roar of the tiger?

Tn. IrIsh-Americsn oressmaker.

The Irish-American woman dress maker Is the equal Of the French man dressmaker," said a Psrisienne at a tea in New York. Her skill amazes me. It is no wonder she gets on.

 Why the Irish-American should de velop in the United States such tai ent for dressmaking is a thing can't explain.

Douglas MeKicsns Honor the Memory
 " of Ben.tz Jaurez.

DOUGLAS, July 2O.-(SpeciaLD-
 The flag of the Mexican Consulate was at half mast yesterday in honor of the memory of Benity Jaurez, who died on July 18th, 1872, having serv- ed the Republic of Mexico as President for three terms, or more than thirty years. It was during his sdministra- ton that the Republic was released from the bondage of the church, he completely overthrowing their power. confiscating their property and turn ing the proceeds into the coffers of the government treasury. Jaurez was Q fll blooded Aztec Indian, which endears his memory to the common people of the Republic to a greater de, gree than that attained by any other man who has occupied the presidency of Mexico.
