The Boston and Albany is a part Of
the New York Central system and one Of
the most profitable railways in the world
It's stock is distributed in small blocks
throughout the towns and villages of
Massachusetts. 1t has always been a
favorite investment for widows and or
phans. for benevolent and educational in
situations and for all kinds Of trusts
Until few years ago every shareholder
received a free pass to and from Boston,
so that he or she might attend the an
nual meeting, and it was necessary to
run special trains to accommodate them

abandoned, that the stock number of
shareholders is not so lar e and that
the average holding is much larger than
it used to be, which is to be lamented
The Grand Trunk of Canada has

is still an independent corporation with

When one starts forth in search of the
picturesque he can choose no more fruit

same time can find here facilities of
! transportation more numerous, convenient
and comfortable than anywhere else in
this country. The only drawback is the
hotels, which are very far behind the
| times as rule, and, speaking generally,
| do not come up to those that may be
| found in Texas. or any of the states in
| the Mississippi valley or on the Pacific
| coast. There are exceptions to every rule,
and In Boston, Springfield, Hartford,
| Providence, in the Berkshire hills, the
| White mountains and at certain places
along the Atlantic coast, they are per-
fectly satisfactory, but such cities as New
Haven, Worcester. Plymouth and nearly
all the wealthy and thriving centers OF
population in New England cannot fur
nish as comfortable rooms or as good
cooking as San Antonio. Dallas, Ell Paso,
Kansas City, Omaha. Salt Lake. ST. Paul,
Minneapolis and a hundred other cities of
similar population beyond the Mississippi,

The summer hotels on the Atlantic

and furnished with a bed, a bureau, a

one small rocking chair, and charges the

BY gibson GARDNER.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The
omission OF the Japanese exclusion
clause from the new Japanese treaty

Japanese exclusion as a treaty stip-
ulation has been traded for certain
expectations In the way OF railway
concessions In Manchuria.
The principal beneficiary OF such
concessions would be J. p. Morgan

II Is the hope of President Taft and
Secretary Knox to restore the agree
ment and undertakings touching the
construction OF projected Chinese
railways, which agreements were
knocked in the head by japan about
two months ago, shortly after It had
been announced In WalLst-that- -eet-
cessions valued between fifty and q
hundred million dollars had been Sc
cured for American railroad promot-
ers and constructors.
The reason. or at least one reason.
for the collapse of that affair Is now

the United States to legislate against
the coming Of Japanese TO our shores.

This fact must be kept in mind in

Admitting for the sake Of argument
that the United States has the right

Thus the treaty stipulation reduced
the liability of dispute about this most
dangerous question. and for this rea-

retained in the new treaty.

SHEPARD QUITS
RACE FOR SENATE
Issues Warning To Legislature To
Unite and Name Successor To
: Depew-Sheehan Impossible.

NEW YORK, FePb. 27.-Edward M
Shepard, In letter to Montgomery
Hare, last night, announced his re-
tirement from the fight for the Uni
ted States senatorship, to succeed
Chauncey M. Depew. He adds that
In his opinion. William r. Sheehan's q
retirement Is imminent and warns the
Democratic members OF the legisla.
ture that unless the members prompt.
ly unite the extra session of con
gress will find New York half repre-
sented.
Martin w. Littleton, congressman
elect and self-announced candidate for
the senatorship, had issued a state
ment, pointing, as does Mr.. Shepard
to the grave responsibility resting on
the Democratic Legislators and calling
on Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many hall. to cause the retirement OF
Mr.. Sheehan and break the five
weeks deadlock at Albany.
/. Mr.. Shepard's letter says in part:
The futile balloting has continued
at Albany for more than five weeks
after the date prescribed by law for
the choice. One week from today the
seat of the new Democratic senator
will be ready for him at Washington.
Unless the Democratic members
promptly unite, the extra session,
which now seems probable, and In
which the legitimate opportunity and
the responsibility Of our party are to
be of the very first order, will find
the state of New York but half repre-
sented. And-what i should regret
even more-it will exhibit the Demo
cratic party Of the state OF New York
as seemingly Incompetent to the most
elementary demand of statesmanlike
politics.
mo doubt such incompetence. real
or seeming, is preferable to a sur
render OF the very integrity OF the
party or of its loyalty to the public
cause which belong of right to 1t.
and for whose sake, and whose sake
alone many have given almost life
long devotion. But can Ii be that
we must remain longer In an utterly
dilemma between such
and such surrender?
Has not the dilemma already been
sufficiently disastrous? May 1t not
soon prove fatal to the party future,
at least for our day and generation?
Must there be--if we are TO iearn--
IN every county q. Democratic defeat
like that the other day In always
Democratic Schoharie?
..It was plain month or more ago
that Mr.. Sheehans caucus nomina-
tion had aroused Democratic oppo-
sition SO important and persistent as
to render impossible his election by
Democrats. I assume, th.>efore, not
only that Mr.. Sheehan will not be
chosen, hut that at this late day. the
fact is clear to himself and his sup
pcrters."
