From the London Times. ‘The Beira railway, which is now attract- ing public attention, was the outcome of an egreement made between Great Britain and Portugal on June 11, 1891, mainly for the purpose of fixing the respective frontiers, following on the taking over of Lobengula’s territories by the British South Africa Com- pany, though the final arrangements re- specting these frontier questions wero not made until a later date. Under the agree- ment in question the Portuguese govern- ment undertook, among other things, the construction of a line of railway which would connect Rhodesia with the sea, at Belra, and it further guaranteed not to impose any transit duty on goods higher than three per cent. The original conce: sion was granted the Mozambique Company; but eventually it was transferred, through Mr. H. T. van Laun, to the Beira Railway Company, which was registered In London in July, 1892, with debenture capital onl England’s Route to The line from Beira to the Portuguese fron- | tier was constructed In sections, and when, in July, 1806, the Mashonaland Field Force passed this way, they were able to use the sections lying between Fontesvilla, which 1s forty-flve miles up the River Pungwe, to Chimoto, a distance of 150 miles from Beira. The complete line up to New Umtali, tho frontier as then fixed upon, was finished 1898. The total is 208 mi originally length of the les, a greater distance contemplated, partly y between the British the Portuguese spheres of influence had, in the meantime, been moved seven- teen miles westward, and partly because of the detours which had to be made owing to the hilly nature of the country. Th between Fontesvilla and Chimoto the dis- tance, as the crow files, is seventy-tf miles, but the line winds 120, while It rises steadily from Beira unt! reaches an elevation circumstances it is of speed for passenger trains average rat miles an hour, and for goods trains ten miles an hour. The complete journey from Beira to Umtali generally takes two days, a night being spent at a stopping place en route At Umtali the Ine connects with that of Jand Railway Company, which the capital o pout 170 miles. bury line was construct- with the British South which guaranteed ‘the the debentures. etre of the whole line from . the di thus gets a to the sea on the alternative to the 1,350 vo to Cape Town on the y the Cape railway, which s its terminus at Bulawayo, will be extended vi elo to meet the line at Sal- isbury, and Cape Town will then be in di- t railway communication with Beira, a now al length of 2,000 miles of continuous railway being available for this purpose. At the present moment, how no railway between Salfsbury , a distance of 28) miles, traveler proc: hy and the or- -ding from the one does so either by coach, a the journey in five days ysis £12, or by bullock wagon, which is both slower and cheaper. The Beira- Umtali line was orfginally constructed on a two-foot gauge, the carriages overhang- ing the wheels to about the same extent on each side. The Umtall-Sallybury line, however, was made on the three-foot six- inch standard of the Cape railway system, and the Beira railway is now being relaid, so that it now corresponds with the same standard, with the exception of some sixty miles, thus avoiding the delay, Inconven- ience and expense of transshipment. Good progress has already been made with this work, but without any interruption in the service, the only difference, until the trans- formation has been completed, being that the change from the one system to the other is now made before Umtali 1s reached. The influx into Belra of the considera- ble body of troops who will form Sir Fred- erick Carrington’s force will naturally tax the resources of a comparatively new line, which has hitherto bean used mainly for the conveyanee of goods. But the Beira company has forty-eight engines available, the rolling stock {s constantly being in- creased, and, though the present supply cf ordinary railway carriages is limited, there is an abundance of trucks, which, with a covering to protect against the sun, seem to be preferred by tho average soldier in his journeys across country to the ordinary railway carriage, and would no doubt be especially preferred to the diminutive car- riages still run on the two-foot section of the Beira line. The only difficulty that is anticipated is in respect to the conveyance of horses, but there {s a certain number of horse boxes available, and there are also some covered-in goods trucks, which might be adapted for the purpose. Happily, too, the line is under the charge of an agent, Mr. A. L. Lawley, who possesses indomi- table energy and resource, and it is regard- ed as certain that from his headquarters at Beira he will do everything that is phys- ically possible to facilitate the transport of the troops and their belongings. + e+ —-____ One Warning Sufficient.

The Bostons finally managed to turn the tables on the Phillies yesterday, in the Quaker city, winning their first game. of the season by the score of 8 to 5. Both Pitchers were hit quite hard, but Willis’ work in tight places was superior to that of Orth. Ex-Senators Freeman and Slagle were the bright particular stars of the game, the former driving runs over the plate with a timely home run and a double, while the latter made a catch near the left field foul line which was a “ringer” in sen- sational efforts.

Pennsylvania University defeated the Uni- versity of Virginia yesterday on the latter's grounds, 8 to 7, ten innings being required to settle the contest. Rain knocked out the games at Brooklyn and St. Louis yesterday. Pat Donovan, McGann and Kelster, the new members of the St. Louis team, are playing exceptionally good ball, and have strengthened that club wonderfully. ‘The Phillies have lost one game out of fcur with the Bostons, and already several Quaker scribes are calling on the manage ment to strengthen first and third bases. Manager Hanlon journeyed to Baltimore Saturday night from Brooklyn, and yester- day returned home with Jerry Nops’ signa- ture to a contract. Ex-Senators Mercer and Selbach have been meeting with hard lines so far this season with the New York team. Manager Ewing 1s confident that both will “make good,” and he will give them a thorough trying out before seating them on the bench. Mercer is hitting all right, but he is short on the bases and in fielding. Freeman has made two home runs and a triple, and yet has only been in two entire games. Slagle continues to make good Arthur Ir- win’s claim that he will prove the best out- fielder the Phillies ever had. The return to the double umpire system is only a question of time. The players de- clare it is a necessity, and the evidence that there is too much work for one official can be seen in every game. Time of game—1 hour Georgetown'’s Game Tomorrow. The University of Pennsylvania is sched- uled for a game with Georgetown tomorrow afternoon, and from indications it will be one of the prettiest fights of the year. “Pennsy” has the strongest team that has nted the university In recent years been picked from eighty-nine candi- Georgetown has the advantage ¢ date vania, and with stronger teams.

It is fact worth noting that George- town has made the best records in her his tory under a college coach. All of the big college teams that have played here this season have been trained by professional coaches, and while these teams have the points of the game well in hand, they do not seem to have acquired the knowledge of the pecullarities of college base ball. Last year it was Phil. King who brought out Georgetown, and this season it is Je- rome Bradley, both Princeton men, by the way, who captained their teams in college. Bradley is due at Princeton next month to coach his alma mater, and when George- town meets the “Tigers” again there will be a fight on nearly equal grounds.

Erroneous reports on the subject having got abroad as to the circumstances in which the queen announc:d her intention of going to Ireland, i am permitted, says the lobby correspondent of an Irish journal, to make public the following authentic statement on the subject: Early in March the queen and her granddaughter, Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, were seated in one of the drawing rooms at Windsor, when her majesty, who had been thoughtful and silent for some minutes, suddenly sai “Do you know, my dear, I've got tha wild- est idea into my head? You would never guess what It is.” “Oh, what is it, grand- mamma?" asked the princess. ‘You'll think,” answered her majesty, “that there never was such a wild idea. I should lik> to go to Ireland, but I’m afraid they will not let me do it.” By “they” the queen meant, of course, -her constitutional ad- visers. ‘Let us talk to Aunt Beatrice about it,” suggested Princ2ss Victoria; and, Prin- cess Henry of Battenberg coming in soon, the idea was placed before her. She warm- ly approved, and it was thereupon decided among the thre illustrious ladies that the queen should go to Ireland if her ministers did not offer any serious objection. They offered none, but expressed pleasure, on the contrary, that ths sovereign had decided to visit the sister kingdom, their only anxiety being lest she should find the experience too fatiguing. “I don’t mind the fatigue,” her majesty is reported to have said, when this considsration was put before her, NO SLATE PREPARED AS YET FEW OF THE LEADERS PRESENT AT HARRISBURG. —— Conference of Prominent Republicans Tonight — Postmaster General Smith for Vice President. HARRISBURG, Pa., April 24—There is no telling what will be the result of tomor- row’s republican state convention. Every- thing depends upon what the leaders do and only a few of them are on the ground. A conference will be held tonight, at which ft is expected a slate will be prepared and a platform formulated. It is conceded that the convention will be controlied by the friends of Colonel Quay, but it is under- stood that he will not be here. United States Senator Penrose and other mem- bers of the Pennsylvania congressional delegation are expected tonight. The only candidate certain of nomination is Senator EB. B. Hardenbergh of Wayne county, who has no opposition for auditor general. For the two representatives-at-large to be chosen, the most formidable candidates are Robert H. Foerderer of Philadelphia, Ga- lusha A. Grow of Susquehanna county, who 1s seeking renomination; ex- Representative W._A. Ari@ld of Clearfield, Dr. Theodore L. Flood of Meadville and John B. Steel of Greensburg. The indications today are that Foerderer and Grow will be nominated, al- though the Flood people are making a strong bid for recognition. Mr. Steel can be temporary chairman, but he says he wants Congress or nothing. Not a single name is mentioned for the four presidential electors-at-large, to be chosen by the convention. There does not seem to be much doubt of the selectton of M. S. Quay, Governor Stone, Attorney Gen- eral Elkin, ex-Senator Charles A. Porter and Colonel James: Elverson of Philadel- phia; ex-Representative John H. Leisen- ring of Wilkesbarre, State Chairman Reed- er and B. W. Green of Emporium, dele- gates-at-large to the national convention. The convention will convene at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning and will probably com- plete its work In five hours. Representative William Connell of Scran- ton is here urging the leaders to have the convention indorse Postmaster General Smith for Vice President. —o+o___ UNIONS RECORDS STOLEN. Employers’ Organization in Chicago Victim of Burglars. CHICAGO, April 24—The Tribune says: Burglars whose sympathies apparently are with union labor made a raid early yester- day morning ori the office of the Industrial Union, and carried off every record and book belonging to the organization. The membership list, containing the names and addresses of between 2,500 and 3,00) men of various trades who do not belong to the unions affiliated with the Building Trades Council, was carried away, together with all the correspondence since the Industrial Union came into existence. The loss is re- garded as a serious blow to the Industrial Union, and, Indirectly, its effect may be felt by the Building Contractors’ Council. J. H. Smith, president of the Industrial Union, and its organizer, reported the bur- glary to the pclice, and hopes that the bur- glars may be arrested. He thinks the rob- bery was intended for the purpose of carry- ing on a campaign of ‘intimidation against the workingmen carrying the cards of the Industrial Union. Many of these men are employed by the Building Cgntractors’ Council. “The records of ‘the Industrial Unton are worth nothing to anybody except enemies of the organization.” said Mr. Smith. “Who- ever stole them {s now in a position to sup- ply the address of every one of our mem- bers, and thus make It easy for pickets to assault thera. We have a duplicate set of books, and the loss of the ones stolen this morning is not going to disrupt our organ- ization.” -——++<-___ BEGAN ON HIMSELF FIRST. — William Kuhn Attempts the Murder and Suicide Act. PHILADELPHIA; April 24.—William Kuhn and his wifé, Lulu; edch about twen- ty-five years old, and formerly of Richmond, Va., are in a critical condition in a hospital here as the result of an attempt by Kuhn to Kill himself and wife last midnight. The affair took place In a boarding house, 719 North 16th street, where the couple have been lving for about four months. Kuhn accused his wife of inattention to her home and going to theaters with other men. The wife resented the charges and a quarrel followed. Suddenly the husband grabbed a razor and drew it across his throat, mak- ing a wound about four fnches long. He then rushed at his wife, but only succeeded in cutting her slightly on the chin. The coup'e then struggled around the room and just as they reached the open sec- ond-floor window the woman slipped and fell through, dragging her husband with her. The woman's spine was badly injured and her head lacerated and the husband’ leg was broken. He managed to craw back to the house, where the police found him. Shortly after the woman was found in the yard. Little is known of the couple here. Kuhn is said to be a former state senator of Vir- ginia, but this could not be confirmed. They came to this city about a year ago and were well dressed and we'l behaved. For some time the husband has been employed as an awning cutter in a department store. ——++>—__ FERTILIZER FACTORY BURNS. Ramsburg Establishment at Freder- ick, Md., a Total Loss. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. FREDERICK, ‘Md., April 24—The Rams- burg fertilizer factory, covering two acres of ground, was totally destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. The dam- age to the buildings is estimated at $25,000, with $10,000 insurance. The stock, which was valued at about $40,000, is damaged to about half its value, with very light in- surance. Three thousand dollars’ worth of fish, which had just been recelved, are a total loss. Machinery to the value of $5,000 is atmost a total wreck. A new eighty- horse-power engine, which just arrived, was ruined by the great heat. The fire is sup- posed to have been of incendlary origin, as many tramps coming in on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad make the vicinity a loaf- ing place. The buildings will be replaced immediately.

Many of Its Picturesque Features of the Pant Are Gone. From the Obicago Intertor. The Ohio fs no longer the beautiful river it once was. It flowed in majestic curves ‘and sweeps through a limitless paradise. The glory of that river in the barbaric splendor of an autumn day was beyond ’de- scription. Robed from the Alleghanies to the Mississippi in her gorgeous fabric of maple and sycamore, which . everywhere drooped down to the stately flood, shim- mering, bending in her course with con- siderate and majestic dignity, a trip on one of the brightly painted steamboats was the event of a lifetime. There was also a dig- nity in the steamboats. They did not pant and rattle like a locomotive, nor were they silent like an ocean steamer. The long huge steam cylinders, with deliberation and a soft though pervading sound, blew huge clouds of steam into the air. The river steamers “were the Monte Carlos of the new world. Every one of them carried its contingent of professional gamblers, each of whom had a “bowie” in his boot leg. These men, unmolested, traveled the year arbund between Pittsburg and New Greans, fleecing the unwary and paying a percentage tp the captains. The Ohio is a noble river yet, though winding, through forest-denuded hills. The orchards and cornfields are attractive. It promised once to become the Rhine in vineyards, but the grapes were smitten with a rust, which destroyed the crops until the attempt was abandoned.
