Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
Notwithstanding difference in distances
the railway owned by the Mexican gov
eminent across the Isthmus of Tehuante-
pee is carrying more freight between the
two oceans than the railroad owned by
the government of the United States
across the Isthmus of Panama.
The Tehuantepec railroad Is 100 miles
long. The Panama road is forty-seven
miles long. Freight rates are the same.
undoubtedly one reason for the difference.
Another reason is that the Tehuantepec
road is seeking business and the Panama
road is not.
The latter Is maintained at present to
aid in the construction OF the canal. Its
ordinary commercial patronage is sacri-
feed for that reason, being maintained as
public convenience rather than for
profit.
When the canal is completed there will
be little use for the Panama railroad as
freight carrier. 1t is expected that
most OF the cargoes will be carried
through on steamers instead of being un-
loaded on both sides and reloaded after
crossing the isthmus on railway cars. as
at present.
The railway, however, always will be of
the greatest Importance for passenger
traific and as an auxiliary Of the canal.

1t is not for any lack of recipr0catior

paths OF learning, nor has his interest In
the rising generation diminished. He
has been raising the standards of admis

the United States with lever which
Andrew Carnegie put into his hands.

Sugar From Hawaii.

The chief business of the Tehuantepec
line is to carry sugar from the plantations
In the Hawaiian Islands to the refineries
OF the trust at New York, Philadt iphia
and other eastern ports. There is a line
OF big cargo steamers owned by the trust
and the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Asso-
citation, which have q contract with the
Tehuantepec railway. extending over q
term OF years.
This business might have gone to the
Panama company. The canal commits
sion would not undertake to handle it
because 1t might interfere with construc-
ton work.
Nearly all the raw sugar raised in the
Hawaiian Islands is shipped to New York
and Philadelphia. OF a total Of $24.-
J00.OO worth of freight received at sa-
lima Cruz, the Pacific terminus Of the
Iehuantepec railroad. more than 49,
100000 was sugar from Hawaii for the
mainder. about 100000 worth originated
at San Francisco and consisted of canned
fruit and miscellaneous merchandise.
OF the $27.OOO,OO0 of freight passing
westward over the Tehuantepec line,
$23.O0O.OOO was miscellaneous merchandise
sent from New York to San Francisco, San
Diego and Seattle. Only $3,O0OOO0 Of west
bound freight went to Hawaii. This con-
sisted OF machinery, agricultural imple-
ments and merchandise
The sugar from Hawaii used to be car
ried around the Strait of Magellan In
steamers constructed especially for that
purpose, with machinery for handling the
bags. which weigh $50 pounds each. The
steamers have accommodations for few
passengers.
The Mexican government has spent mil
lions of dollars in the construction of
harbors at Coatzacoaltas. on the Atlantic
side. and at. salina Cruz. on the Pacific
side, and furnished the money to put
the railroad In excellent condition. 1t

ROBBER SHOOTS WOMAN
ARMED MEN TRY TO HOLD UP
AUTO OF w. E. MATHIS.
His Wife Receives Charge Of Bird
Shot in Face When Machine
Hurries On.

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., December "a
Masked men. armed with shotguns. tried
to hold up the automobile of William f.
Mathis, an Atlantic City builder, late
yesterday afternoon at New Gretna, ten
miles away, and when the car was not
stopped one bandit fired charge OF
birdshot, some of which struck Mrs
Mathis in the face.
She was not dangerously hurt and the
shot have been extracted. but she is suf-
fering greatly from shock. Mr.. Mathis Is
furious at the outrage and at the near
ness of his wife to death.
A score of detectives, prepared to cap
ture the holdup men. are searching the
woods near New Gretna, and il the rob-
bers are sighted and offer resistance a
battle with bullets is certain.
Thought They Were Hunters.
Mr.. Mathis is an ardent automobilist.
| spin, every afternoon. Yesterday they
took with them Mrs. Thomas S. Temp
kins and her young son. They sped
| through New Gretna at a fair clip. Mr.
Mathis at the wheel. Just outside the
guns. step from the woods into the high
way.
1t was plain that the strangers meant
to stop the car. but Mr.. Mathis did not
machine going. When they saw that he
would not abate his speed the men step
ped to the side of the road.
One raised his gun to his shoulder.
Mr.. Mathis, throwing on full speed,
cried to the others in the auto, Duck
your heads"' They obeyed. As the car
flew by the hold-up man fired his gun.
Mrs. Mathis screamed. hasty ex-
animation showed that several of the
leaden pellets had lodged in her cheek:
the car, but nobody else in the party was
struck.
Armed Men Seen Before.
With all the speed of which the car
was capable Mathis hurried hawk to At
lantic City. and Mrs. Mathis was soon
in the hands of surgeons. who removed
the shot and gave medicine to soothe
her shattered nerves. The police were
to throw out a Gordon of men who, it
is hoped, will capture the two highway
men.
From other automobile parties have
come reports about armed men on the
road near the place Of the attack on the
Mathis car, but as they made no Of
fensive move with their guns they were
taken. for gunners in search Of birds.
The Atlantic City authorities will strive
hard to capture the highwaymen before
more attempts to hold up cars can take
place. but the hunt IL handicapped by
the fact that no one seems able to give
good description of the men.
None Of the Mathis party could describe
the height, dress or appearance OF the
highwayman. except in the most
general terms. and Mr.. Mathis Is not
positive that the men were masked.
though that Is his impression. 1t Is
hoped that Mrs. Mathis may be able to
describe them better today when she
has recovered somewhat from the shock.

BRITISH SCIENTISTS MEET.

At Winnipeg. Manitoba, 600 dele
gates to the Seventy-ninth Conveu-
tion of the British Association Cor
the Advancement of Science have
been in session since Wednesday. Sir
John Thompson, in his review of
scientific progress in recent years, ex-
p' essed the belief that the rays of
the sun would yet be used directly
to do the worlds work. The dis
ocvery of the Roentgen ray he re-
CARDS as the most important in the
las. decade. Prof. Armstrong created
something of a sensation by repeating
with approval the statement that the
higher education OF women In the
United States had been to cause ster-
iIity among those educated. "The
r.ost disquieting feature OF the time
lie continued, "is the revolt OF women
against their womanhood and their
claim to be on an equality with man.
There should be no question OF equal
ity raised; when comparison is made
between complementary factors, the
question OF equality does not and can
not come into consideration. It is
clear that should the struggle arise
and II is to be feared that it is
coming upon us--there can be but one
issue. Woman must fall, and in fall
ing carry man to her destruction"
