Lonu Journey,

A railroad from Nome to Cape Horn
Is being considered, and sometimes
we may be able to take a through
sleeper from one end of the American
continent to the other. In that case
we would sample all kinds of climate
from arctic to tropical and we would
encounter endless variety of surface
and scenery. Popular Mechanics says
that several routes for such a rail
road are being considered. but which
ever one may be chosen the lines al
ready built and covering over half the
distance would be utilized. The fact
that these exist makes the project
seem less like a dream, but If we
smile over it we might remember that
men of affairs laughed at Cecil Rhodes
when he suggested a railroad from the
Cape of Good Hope to Cairo--the en-
tire length of Africa-but that road
is now being built-is more than half
done, indeed.

the woman appeared at dinner in a
new waist.

the channel so that Admiral Cerveras
fleet would be bottled up. Hobson
went in all right and sank the Merri-
mac, but after he went in Samson and
all America were in an agony of sus-
pense to know his fate and to know
if he had succeeded in choking the
channel
Without telling anybody what his
purpose was Hudgins. slipped over the
side of the Golden Rod into one of
the yachts motor boats. He took with
him only one man, a sailor of the
Golden Rod, who had been in the
French navy. Rudgins mufied the ex-
haust of the motor boat and put out
all lights. Very carefully he made for
the Cuban coast four or five miles
east Of MORO castle. Then he ran
along the shore until he was direct
ly under the frowning heights of the
great fort. He knew that thousand
guards were on duty in the MORO, and
his discovery would mean death, but
he carefully picked his way right into
the mouth of the bottle until he came
upon the Merrimac. 1t didn't take him
long to discover that Hobson had
failed. The Merrimac was sunk in
the channel but not across the chan
mel The Spanish fleet was not bot
tied up. There was plenty of clear
water in the channel to let Cervera's
battleships come out.
Having learned all that he could,
,Hudgins turned the motor boats bow
and proceeded straight out to sea. He
had gone perhaps a mile when he was
discovered, not only by the Moro,
but by the cruiser New York. The
searchlights of the Spaniards and the
searchlights of SIMPSONS flagship
were centered on him. A small Amer
lean flag was at the taffrail of the mo-
tor boat. Sampson said some harsh

per man went aboard the flagship and
reported to him. But this was not un-
til after he had gone to Jamaica and
cabled his story to the Herald. One
of the things Sampson said was that
but for that American flag at the taft
rail the motor boat would have been
blown to atoms
How He Get Hobson's Story.
Hudgins not only got that informa-
ton about the Merrimac, but also Hob
sons own story of the sinking of the
transport. This is how he got it,:
When Cervera notified the American
authorities that he would release Hob
son, Hudgins got instructions from his
paper to offer a dollar word to Hob
son for his story, and to tell the lieu
tenant that offer went for 10000
words. Hudgins was sitting in the
office of Doctor LIE Gard of the medi-
cal division of the army at Siboney
when the doctor was called to the
military telephone that connected Shi-
honey with Skaters headquarters, 20
miles inland. Shafter informed the
doctor that Hobson would be released
at noon and would be led to the Amer
lean line blindfolded. Shafter direct
ed the doctor to send courier with
an extra horse to conduct Hobson to
Siboney and make the necessary ar
rangements to put him on the cruiser
New York.
Hudgins saw to it that the courier
who so conducted Hobson, was for the
time being a Herald correspondent.
This courier obtained the full story
of the sinking of the Merrimac at first
hand in the leisurely ride to Siboney
and without Hobson having a suspi-
cion that he was talking to newspa-
per man.
Hudgins put In two hours pumping
the courier and then was on his way
TO the beach, returning to the Golden
Rod, lantern in hand, when he heard
some shouts. The shouts were from
members of Hobsons crew who had
been released at the same time as
Hobson. but had been compelled to
walk along the shore TO Siboney. Hud-
gins took them aboard the Golden
Rod, got their stories, got signed state
ments from them, and when they
didn't nave anything more to tell put
them aboard the New York. That
done, the Golden Rod scooted to ia

missary matters. He came by that
naturally. His grandfather was the
secret commissary agent of the Confed-
crate government ~Hudgins made
study of the commissary OF the United
States army in the Spanish-American
war and attracted great deal of at
tention by his writings on the sub
ject. In 1900 he went on the New
York Herald as regular reporter.
There had been great deal of dissat-
isfaction and criticism over the al
legged abuses at Ellis island in the
feeding of the immigrants. Ellis IS
land is the landing place for all the
immigrants who enter America
through the gate of New York Be-
cause of Hudgins' general knowledge

his way he could straighten things out
on Ellis island in very short order.
He would like to do it for the good
of the public. Thinking this way, an
idea suddenly came to him of how
he could combine good to the immi-
grant and business for Hudgins. He
determined to bid for the contract
for feeding the immigrants. He had

like money never need embarrass a
resolute man.
There was another man up at the
Herald who had a little money. This
was Charles ]. Dumas. They formed
the firm of Hudgins & Dumas. Their
combined capital was insignificant.
Their combined energy was large.
They had good regulations, and had
the confidence of good people and the
confidence of themselves. One Of
their good friends was Theodore

Their bid was not the lowest, but
on the recommendation of Edward
Van Ingen, counsel to Commissioner
of immigration William Williams, the
contract was awarded to them The
first day they went to work at Ellis
island they fed 5000 persons, or rath-
er they served 5000 meals. They were
mighty good newspaper men, but they
They held the contract three years.
In 1905 they bid for the Panama COM
missary contract. BY this time they
had taken rank among the greatest
commissary men in America. Their
bid was the lowest. Their reputation
was so high that millions of dollars
were pledged to their faithful per-
Torrance of the contract. This Pan
ANA contract was the biggest of the
kind in the history of the world. At
the time Hudgins & Dumas figured on
it they estimated that it meant $780,
600, 900, and on the basis of their bid
they would have profit of from sew
en- to ten million dollars.
They didn't get the contract It
was awarded to Markell of Omaha.
Markell led to a vigorous protest and
then to an investigation conducted by
Senator Tillman. AS a result of this
investigation the award to Markell
was Cancelled and the government de-
cided to take the commissary matteA
into its own hands.
In 1905 the Ellis island contract
went to rival bidder, and for several
years Hudgins confined mis- operations
largely to Nevada, conducting the
commissary departments OF some OF
the largest mining concerns of that
state of precious metals. Four years
ago ne got the Ellis island concession
