A FARMERS’ RAILROAD It Will Run From the Gulf to British America, 10 SAVE ON TRANSPORTATION COST. Convention of the Projectors at Topeka, Kan. OUTLINE OF THEIR PLANS. Special Correspondence of The Evening Sta>. TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 7.—The movers in the gulf and interstate railroad scheme, the most gigantic enterprise of the character ever conceived in the United States, met in Representative Hall, Topeka, Tuesday to formulate plans by which two great iines of railroad may be constructed between the Gulf of Mexico and the British possessions. History of the Movement. This movement was started by the Ne- braska legislature m 1892, when a series of resolutions were adopted setting forth the needs of such transportation facilities in the interest of the producing classes of the great Mississippi valley. The plans were conceived by leading populists of western states, Gov. Lewelling of Kansas being one of the original movers in the enterprise. 1t is the purpose of the originators of the scheme to have the ten states through which the lines are to pass build and equip the same. They claim that a tax of five cents ber acre on the lands in these states would cover all this expense and leave a surplus of over two million dollars in the treasury. One line is to be built from Duluth, through Minnesota, lowa, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana to Lake Charles on the Gulf of Mexico. The other is to begin at the north- ern boundary of South Dakota and run through Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas to Galveston. The Nebraska legislature declared in a series of resolutions that, by reason of the nearness to gulf ports as against the long haul to the AUantic seaboard, the exports: of wheat, cattle, beef products, meat pro- ducts and bread stuffs of all Kinds, which now amount in round numbers to $475,000,- 000 annually to the producers of this regio’ would be reduced 2U per cent, amounting to $94,000,000 annually, which would pay the cost of the road three and one-half times. And further, that the furnishing of said in- terlor north and south transportation would attract the great manufacturing industries to the Mississippi valley country and make it the most populous, as well as the wealth- fest portion of the United States. On June 38 the first gulf and interstate railroad convention was held at Lincoln, Neb. Goy. Crounse welcomed the delegates present from all the states and gave the plan his cordial indorsement. After two days’ deliberation that convention ad- journed to meet at Topeka Tuesday, Plan of Actio: A plan of action hgs already been agreed upon by Governor Lewelling and other lead- ers. They will first secure a charter by a provisional committee, consisting of one from each of the ten states. This commit- tee is to act as directors until such time as the legislatures of three or more of the states interested shall have passed an act making it a part of the duty of their state railroad commissioners to take charge of said railroad, when the charter and all the properties accumulated under it shail be turned over to them in trust for the people. | Said railroad commissioners, together with | the commissioners of each and all the other | States and territories thtough which it runs, or such other persons as may be des- | ignated by law in said states and territo- | ries, shall have full power to control and manage the road, within the provisions of the charter, the same as usual boards of | The chairman of the state rail- | road commissioners to constitute an execu- tive board. ‘The charter will also provide, first, that the railroad shall remain forever the prop- erty of the people of the states through which it runs, never, under any cireum- stances, reverting to private or corporate } ownership; providing that the United States | government may at any time purchase it at par and not to exceed necessary cost of the entire plant; to be run as a government | road. The two great trunk lines are to be fed by laterals the same as a county wagon located and built. The rest- dents of @ locality desiring a branch road will draw up a petition to the directors of a road, setting forth the location, distance, practicability, necessity, giving satistactory evidence that they will take the necessary amount of construction bonds and secure If the directors find that the facts are as represented, and that the road is needed, and the outlay is warranted, they shall immediately proceed to construct | i The Topeka convention will formulate a plan for securing such legislation by the ten states interested as will start this gi- jgantic venture at an early day. In con- nection with it Governor Lewelling wiil pre- sent his gulf ship canal scheme, which, he says, is now an assured fact. In an inter- view today he said: “With a line of steamers plying between gulf ports and European markets to carry our products across the Atlantic when we shall laid them down at Galveston at | a saving of millions of dollars annuaily to the people interested, it seems to me that the problem of cheap transportation will be solved, and western farmers will be the | beneficiaries.” At Tue session and that night the time principally devoted to listen- | ing to Gescriptions of proposed routes and | estimates from experienced railroad build- ers upon the cost of construction. The | subject in which the most interest centers, ly, the plan by which the necessary | fs to be raised to construct, was not touched upon, the financiers in the en- terprise not lized. A letter | was read from nporia man, who said he could r: 5 tent capital to con- struct the first fifty miles provided he had assurences that the necessary money would be forthcoming to complete it. Raising the Money. The directors will be expected to arrange for the construction of 2,530 miles of road | in the immedicte future, to cost $38,250,000. ‘The entire cost, it is estimated, will be saved to shippers by reduced rates annual- ly. The money with which to carry on the work will be raised by issuing 4 per cent construction bonds in denominations of $5 each and multiples thereof, payable at the option of the road, and receivable for all | hinds of traifie. Foriy-year 4 per cent first mortgaze bonds will also be issued, to be taken by the several states and purchased from the school funds. The provisional directors appointed are: Lieut. Governor E. 0. Wallace of North | Dakota; Lieut. Governor FE. C. Harwell of | South Dakota; C. J. Randall of Nebrask: F. J. Close of Kansas; 8. J. Clarke of Okla homa; W. S. Kimpton of Texas; H. Halver- | of Minnesota; Governor ‘Larabee of H. M. Dake of Missouri; L. P. Feath- erston of Arkansas; E. S. Stoddard of Oma- ha, director at large and chairman of the board. The convention adjourned without a date at 3 o'clock. i] | Knew It Couldn’t Be fri From the New York Herald. | “Nothing remarkable in that story,” said the listener impatiently. “Walt until you have heard it all,” re-| turned the story teller. “When she arose to go the hostess accompanied her to the door.” “Of course. friends.” “Dear friends,” said the story teller, “and they had been gossiping for over an hour. ‘They reached the door and the caller kissed the hostess good-by: “Yes.

A Distinguished Citizen of Kansas Dies While on a Business Trip. The many friends of Col. William A. Phil- lps learned with sadness the news of his death, which occurred at Fort Gibson, In- dian territory on Thanksgiving day. On Monday before Thanksgiving Col. Phillips left this city for the Indian territory on business, and. while en route contracted pneumonia, which resulted in his death. His remains were taken to his home in Salina, Kan., where they were interred on Wednesday with civic and military honors. He leaves a widow, formerly Miss Anna B. Stapler of this city, daughter and three sons; the first two were in Washington at the time of his death. His sons are Passed Assistant Paymaster Jas. 8. Phillips, United States navy, now on the U. S. 3. Machias, Dr. Francis M. Phillips of New York and Dr. Wm. A. Phillips of Kansas. Col. Phillips was well knewn here. He was one of the pioneers and leading men of his state and a Representative in Congress for three terms a@ republican from the first, now the fifth, district, in the Forty- third, Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Con- gresses, during which time he served on the important committees of the House which affected the interests of the then young western country, and achieved a national reputation. Col. Phillips was born in Scotland about sixty-two years ago, and when a young man came to this country and settled ip Illinois. In 1S57 he migrated farther wes, before the advent of railroads, and selected the site and founded the town of Salina, in the territory of Kansas. Returning to Ili- nois, he organized a colony of Scotchmen to go with him to Kansas, and by his untiring energy and indefatigable efforts built up the town, which has since grown to be @ city of 12,000 inhabitants and is one of the most prosperous in the state. being located in what is known as the “Golden Belt,” the wheat center of Kansas. At the breaking out of the civil war he raised the third Kansas regiment and was rapidly promoted to the position of colonel and subsequently to the command of the Indian brigade. In 1863 he was in command of a division, and later of two districts, in- cluding the western half of Arkansas and the Indian territory, continuing in command of a separate army in the field until the close of the war, seeing much active serv- ice, In which he distinguished himself as a brave soldier and an efficient commander. Col. Phillips had a brigade command, but for some unaccountable reason was never given the rank to which this command en- titled him. He was a man of great literary ability. In 1855 he was the New York Tribune correspondent in Kansas during the bitter factional fight between the pro- slavery and anti-slavery elements. Later he | contributed to the magazines on the lead- ing questions of the day. He was the au- thor of several works: among them were “The Conquest of Kansas” and “Land, Labor and Law.” He was a friend of the Indian, and, after leaving Congress, devoted the later years of his life in their interests and was attor- ney for the Cherokee nation. fe had their welfare at heart, and their present prosper- ous condition is in a measure due to his efforts.

The Largest the Chamber of Deputies Has See From the London Telegraph. The socialistic group in the new chamber has been definitely constituted. It numbers no less than forty-two mémbers, and in- cludes on its list several deputies who had fought under the Boulangist banner. Among those who attended the meeting at which its program was discussed were M. Vail- lant, who presided; M. Basly, M. Baudin, M. Jaures, M. Millerand, M. Paschal Grous- set, and M. Walter, the mayor and repre- sentative of St. Denis. This group, by the way, ts not to be con- founded with the party of socialist radicals, of whom M. Goblet, ex-president of the council, may be regarded as leader, but it | may be expected to co-operate heartily with them. In no chamber has socialism had so many champions as in that which will assemble next week, and, as ey are all mena of energy and determmation, they cer:arly will not be content t> remain silent and passive in the Palais Bourbon. On the con- trary, they have lately given the govern- ment some trouble by t activity dur- ing the strikes, and they inten] tc this up with an interpeilation and with a proposal that a general amnesty be granted. It has often been argued that the system of property in France and the division of the soil among so many owners would be a bar to the spread country, but this sanguine opinioa is harl, supported by facts.
