NEW WABASH LINE
Plan for Financing II Ratified by
Western Maryland Stockholders.

Stockholders of the Western
Maryland Railroad Company met
in Baltimore, March 81, and rati-
fed the financial plan as outlined
by the directors for providing the
cost Of constructing the new ex-
tension from Cumberland, Nd, to
Connellsville, Pa.
The plan, as authorized, carries
with it the sale Of S25,496, $40 I'M
issued capital common stock of
the company at $50 per share.
Each stakeholder will be accorded
the privilege of purchasing, at the
price named, an amount of the
authorized issue equivalent to IS
per cent. of the amount of stock
either common or preferred, stand
ing in his name on the books of
the company.
Winslow S. Pierce, of New York,
chairman of the board of the West
ern Maryland, explained that the
portion of the new extension in
Maryland would be built by tn
Georges Creek and Cumberland
Railroad, which is owned by the
Western Maryland, and that a
new company will be organized in
Pennsylvania to take care of the
construction work beyond the
Maryland line. The Western
Mary land, of course. will hold the
securities of the company which is
to be organized.
Now that the plan Of the direc-
tors to build the road has been
authorized, there will be no delay
in completing the line, and it IS
hoped to have trains running into
Pittsburg within two years.
While it is not definitely known
yet, it is intimated that the Rookie
Teller interests will take a large
block of the stock to be sold under
the plan as decided upon. What
remains unsold will be taken over
by the syndicate organized by
Blair & Co., of New York.

York yield to the Senator from

This was the mild way that
Senator Curtis, acting as Vice
President, called down Senator
Elkins during Senator Roots
speech On the railroad, bill.
Senator Root had paused when
Senator Elkins unceremoniously
stepped over to his side and began
whispering something. According
to the rules Of formal debate, a
Senator is not interrupted until
he has addressed the Chair and
until the Chair asks permission of
the speaker. Senate debates are
conducted on the lines of courtly
courtesy.
Senator Elkins Redeemed to the
very edge of all the hair he has
left. Smilingly he withdrew and
still smiling he took his seat.
Senator Root smiled and the whole
Senate smiled. There was no
doubt that Senator Curtis had
put one over" on the genial
statesman from West Virginia.
W. G. Conrad of Montana, cam
didate for the United States Senate
from that State. is now at the
Willard. He is East on private
business, but he is observing polit-
ical conditions at the same time.
Mr.. Conrad is a banker, and a
very rich one. He is a Virginian
by birth, having been reared in
Clarke county in that State. He
went West many wears ago and
prospered handsomely. Now he
has become one of the most potent
political factors in the Democratic
party in his state. He was much
talked of as a possible Vice Presi-
Dental candidate before John w.
Kern of Indiana was chosen.
If the next Legislature is Demo
cratic, it is said that Senator Con-
rad will be the successor of Senator
Carter. His friends are already
framing his campaign, and say
that no other Democrat in the
State can beat him.
Mr.. Conrad's family is with
him.

thus committed propose actually
to force through another like
amendment which they we'll know
would be overwhelmingly defeated
on a fair vote by the simple device
of applying the amendment before
it is adopted; or, in other words,
usurping the powers of a Consti-
tutional convention
Il do not care now to comment
in detail on the measure-this
will be done in due time-but
there are two provisions in ii
which deserve mention. At the
end of Section % it is provided
that any person appealing from
refusal to register him, or even
any person against whose rcgistra-
ton some one else shall have ap-
pealed, shall be deemed TO have
based his claim or defense upon
this Act, and shall be estopped to
set up any claim or defense on any
other ground; In other words,
the authors of this measure know
so well it is unconstitutional that
they attempt in this cowardly way
to prevent the question of its con-
stitutionality from being raised,
Again in Section Ssh. if is
provided that no de facto election
held hereunder shall be vacated
ed or set aside on mandamus or
other proceeding for the purpose,
unless the petition for mandamus
or such other proceeding be insti.
tuted by the Governor or Attorney
General Once more those who
pretend to believe in the validity
of this law here show their utter
insinCerity, thew are SO reasonably
afraid of the result of any test of
its legality that they are trying to
prevent such a test; for it is
needless to say that they believe
the Governor and the Attorney
General can be relied upon to
institute no such proceeding, and
l may add that, so far as l can
see. neither of them would have
any standing in court if he did.
Il am glad to say, in conclusion,
that l think this measure is no
less i'll judged than contemplate
and immoral. l believe its un-
constitutionality can be, and
hope will be, clearly and conclu-
sive shown before it can be put
into effect, and see in it an issue
for the Republicans of Maryland |
at the election of next autumn,
which, if they are wisely guided
and have worthy candidates, will
very probably give us six Repub-
lican Representatives from Mary
land in the next Congress. -

Mr. Buschs plea for drink comes at a

HOGG SPEAKS FOR
TEXAS EDUCATION

Boston. Julye3. Especial PROF. Alex
ander Hogg of Fort Worth, Tex, who
Is here attending the convention of thu
National Educational association, declares
that education is making marvelous
strides in the southwestern states. Pro-
fessor Hogg is one of the best known
educators in the southwest and is in a
position to speak upon this topic with
authority.
The southwestern states are eclipsing
the eastern states In the matter of the
advancement of learning said Professor
Hogg. That is. comparatively speak
ing. New schools are being erected, col
leges are being built and, universities
are being endowed. Public libraries are
being installed In the towns and cities
and persons of wealth and influence are
giving their best endeavors to the pro-
motion Of this great cause.
THE public schools are doing a great
work in Texas. New Mexico, Arizona
Oklahoma and other remote communities.
People in the east are prone to jest at
the work of education In our far-away
states. but It is no laughing matter.
Now that Arizona and New Mexico
have attained statehood, education will
receive an impetus from that cause. There
are many people in the, southwest just
as highly educated and as highly Gull
tured as In the east The old notion that
Texas Is filled with half-breeds and
other wild specie is oil bosh and nom
sense"
Professor Hogg is a native of Virginia.
He went to Texas In 1876 To his efforts
are due the development of the model
school system at Fort Worth, and that
city recently honored him by naming one
of its schools after him. He has writ
ten much on educational and economic
topics

RIVER THREATENS
GREAT DAMAGE

Gadsden, July 3.-(Special JAS a re-
suit of the continued rain the river has
begun to rise perceptibly and is now at
about the 12-foot stage. With no more
rain 1t is thought that not much be-
yond the 15-foot stage will be reached.
This will leave most of the river farms
above the water, but If the rain should
continue and the river reach IS to 20
feet above low-water there will be thou
sands of acres of farm land in this
county that will be under water and
much damage done to growing crops. AS
the weather forecast is still for rain the
worst is feared by those who farm the
