ridiculing the government officials at

the eclipse of last June, did it an in
Justice. Before that eclipse happened
the astronomical board of Peking wait
ed on the prince regent and invited
him to issue the customary proclan ma

the dragon who would attack the sun
on June IT. Prince Chun, however. in
formed the board that he would do
nothing of the kind. The time honorcd

instructions that a decree should be
issued informing the people of the real
cause of the phenomenon. and that

RI city has received "a letter from
Rabbi stephen s Wise of the Free
synagogue of New York city, in>which
the Jewish leader refers to his own
recent utterances in the Free syna-
gogue concerning the graft situation
in San Francisco. The letter from
Rabbi wise. dated October 1s- is in
response to one from Bancroft compi-
menting him upon his grasp Of the
local situation and upon the views ex-
pressed The letter follows:
New York, Oct. IS. 1909.
Mr.. Hubert Howe. Bancroft. San
Francisco Cal.--My Dear Mr.. Ban
croft: l am very glad to have such
a word as your own in comment
upon my recent uttsrances in the
Free synagogue respecting the San
Francisco situation. 1t is good to
find that you see the national i'm
plications of your apparently local
situation The thing that moves
me to wrath is the seeming will
ingness of so many of the citizens
of San Francisco TO Ire sppinely
under the weight of the Schmitz-
Ruef-calhoun shame without ap-
parently any understanding of the
enormity of it. IL it were possible
for me to do so 1 should accept
the invitations made to me by some
of your fellow citizens to go to your
city and make some utterances on
the situation.
1t is national fight and every
man. who loves his country must
take sides. My very special in
terest in your own phase OF the
situation arises from the circum-
stance that I lived number of
years in the west love the west and
1 would see it remain great and
splendid and unspoiled. Faithfully
yours, STEPHEN s. WISE.

Gossip of RaiIwaymen
THE Hine system of organization

II HE Hine system of organization
is now in successful operation on
II units of the Hartman lines, OF
operating units of the lines. The man
agement of the Hartman lines where
the system has been. tried believes that
practical experience already has shown
that this method gets better results
than the usual attempt to define re-
sponsibility and authority by rigid
rules.
The new plan of organization has re-
duced the volume of correspondence
where it has been adopted from so to
so per cent, and it is estimated that it's
extension to the rest of the Hartman
written annually by probably 100000.
The mere saving in stationery that re-
suits is not negligible and, of course.
saving in labor of employees and in the
time of operating officers, which they
can now devote to more important
duties, arc of far greater Importance.
More important, however, than these
things is the elimination of an infiu-
ence that tends to retard all operations.
The more the unnecessary corre-
spondence is reduced the fewer officers
there are waiting for replies to letters
they have written to officers in other
offices for authorization or directions
to do things which the good of the
service requires shall be done with the
least possible delay.
F. E. Batturs, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Southern Pacific.
returned yesterday morning from the
east, where he attended the annual con-
vention of the American association of
travelling passenger agents.
The gap along the Feather river sec
tion of the Western Pacific has been
brought down to four and half miles
and the gap near the California Ne
vada line has. been brought down to IS
miles, leaving only 171s miles yet to be
closed. 1t is the hope of the engineers,
weather being favorable and material
plentiful, to drive the last spike during
the first week of November Up to
date no ceremony has been planned for
the occasion. Nothing has yet been
heard of the organizing of the -operat-
ing. department of the road, although
announcement of operating officers is
expected.
Caboose No. 1859 of the Erie. now
resting in retirement at Shohola, n. Y.
which was used s a deckhouse by Coma
mander Robert Peary on his trip In
search of the north pole in 1898, is to
be restored and preserved as a me-
mento of Peary's trip.
The Western passenger association
lines have practically decided to dis
continue stopever privileges on short
time tickets, beginning January 1, 1910.
The proposition will be submitted TO
the southwestern lines and the trans
continental lines for approval The
stopover privilege has seldom been ex-
tended SO widely as during the last
year and the railways feel that the.
effect of extending il to low rate short
term tickets has been TO cut. down the
earnings from higher rate unlimited,
return tickets.
