4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1897. LIIVITY UF WESTERN RAILAOADS Three Lines Will Unite to Fight Hawaiian Annexation. TO AID SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY. Deals Involving Many Acres of Land Held Up Pending Congressional Action. RECIPROCITY DECLARED TOO ONE-SIDED. With a Protective Tariff on Island Sugar Capltalists Would Invest In Beet-Sugar Plants. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. CHICAGU, Iry., Oct. 9.—FExecutive offi- cials of some of the railroags which run through the Western beet-sugar belt are anxious to get inside information relating tn the proposed annexation of Hawaii. It is estimated that deals involving over 150,000 acres of sugar-beet land are held up pending Congressional action in the Ha- waiian matter. It is said that at least three of the great railroad corporations of the West will unite to fight Hawaiian an- nexation, on the ground that the admis- sion of Hawaiiinto the United States will operate seriously against the future devel- opment of the veet-sugar industry in this country. The roads that are particuiarly inter- ested in this question have been working forzome time to locate beet sugar facto- ries along their lines. The financial de- pression checked this enterprise, but last spring the industrial departinents ot the roads started the beet sugar campaign niore vigorously than ever. Several large deals were on the point of being closed when the Hawaian annexation issue broke loose and all negotiations were im- mediately suspended, and now, 1t is said, nothing will be done until Congress has taken definite action in the matter. Many Western Congressmen, it is claimed, are opposed to the annexation of Hawaii because their constituentsin lows, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, South Dakota, Wi consin, Minnesota and Texas believe that farmers of certain portions of those States cin rais: sugar beets to ad- vantage and with large profit. The arguments used by the Western op- ponents to the annexation of Hawaii are as follows: With Hawaii a part of the United States its sugar will be admitted free, as it is ai present under the treat 1f Hawaii is not annexed a protective tariff can be placed on Hawaiian sugar, and should be, because the reciprocity treaty is foo one-sided. With a protec- tive taniff on Hawaiian sugar capital. ists will be willing to invest in beet sugar plants, and the development of the indus- try would add hundreds of thousands of tons to the aunual tonnage of the West- ern roads. SIAM REALY Tu APOLOGIZE. Willing to Kake Reparation for the 4ssault on Vice-Consul Kellett and His Servant. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 9.—United States Minister Barrett at Bangkok has reported to the State Department by cable that he has met with complete success in his efforts to secure reparation for the treatment accorded United States Vice- Consul Keilett last spring by the local Sinmese authorities. Keilett’s servant was arrested by the native troops, who act as police in tne town of Chiangmai, where the Vice-Con- sul had gcne to look into the Cheek claim. Upon inter‘ering in b:half of his servant the Vice-Consul was ii-treated. An investigaiion was ordered by the piamese Governmeni, and Barrett accom- panied the commission up into the coun- iry to investigate. He bad jnst returned to Bangkok and reports that the assault was proved, though Kelleti had been imprudent. The Government recalled to Bangkok the cap- 1ain, lieutenant and four soldiers, who participated in the affair, reprimanded them and susp:nded them foralong time. Toe Viceroy of Chiangmui had been cautioned arainst a repetition of the trouble and the Siamese Government itself, Mr. Barrett cabled, wouid exnress rezret at the occurrence. This may be regarded asclosing satisfactorily theincident,which caused the dispaich of a United States warship to Bangkok last spring. S sarins MnA’/IlLE;'S TRIP TO OHIO.

COMPETING DULLET 0 [HE EAST Valley Road May Soon Connect With the Santa Fe. PRESIDENT RIPLEY’S POSITI!ON. Intimates That the Arrange- ment Would Benefit His Company. WOULD MEAN MUCH TO SAN FRANCISCO. Trafflc Agreement Llkely When the Pecple’s Line Is Bullt to This City. Special Dispatch to THE CALL LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oc'. 9.—President P. Ripley of the Sania Fe system of railroads arrived here this afterncon oa his semi-annual visit of inspection. From an interview with him it wouid appear that there is every prospect of an early traffic arrangement betwren the line he revresents and the San Joaguin Valley Railrond after the lafter is completed north to Ban Frencisco and south to Bakersfield. This 1s the first authentic interview with the head of the Santa Fe system that has been published on this subject. President Ripley was extremely careful not to commit himself directly by making any flat statement to this effect. but ex plained his caution by saying that he was not a propbet and it was not the custom of his people 1o c1oss a bridge before they came to it. He admitted that a connection with the Valley road would be advantageous to the line he represented; that his people were in financial condiiion to construct the neces:ary connecting link between Mojave and Bakersfield; that there were no ob- stacles in the way so far as the existing relations of his company and the South- ern Pecific were concerned, and that there were no right of way or erious engineer- ing difficuities to be overcome in closing thi« gap of about sixty miles. “Now that the Santa Fe has virtually acquired the ownership of the track between The Needles and Mojave,” re- marked THE CALL correspondent, ‘s it not disposed to extend this line from Mojave to Fakersfield, so as to make a connection with the Valley roada 2" “There is an agrcement to that effect between the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe, but the transfer requires the consen: of the Mexicen Government,” answered Mr. Rip'ey. “It was given out by the Southern Pa- cific but two we-ks ago that all the objec- tions of the Mexican Government had Leen remove 1."” “There w:ll probably about it; but be no trouble the Mexican Government moves slowly. We are ne for certain formalities to be compleied, but we an- ticipate no trouble.” . “Would you have any objection to stat- ing what the situation is so fur as it con- cerns your line and the Valiey Rad?” “*There is no situation. I understand the San Joaquin Valley road is about to be completed to Bakersfield, but they Lave not seen us and we have not seen them, and weo don’t know what their in- tentions are?”’ *In a recent signed interview, Clauns Spreckels, president of the Valley road, stated it was the vitimate purpose of bi~ line to make it part of an independent competing through road to the East, by a traflic arrange ment with the Santa Fe.” “That would be natural for them to do, but 1othing of tne kind has been agreed upon. The matter has never come up between the representatives of the two roads.” “Would it not be f-asible and advan- fageous for the Santa Fe to make such an sgreement ?” “To answer that would be to prophesy. I am not prepared to go into that ques- tion. If the thing is feasible and would be advantageous the Santa Fe would be likely to do anything that would bring it about.” “Is not the 8anta Fe in financial pos- tion 10 undertake the construction of this raiiroad ?” ‘he Santa Fe wanted to build I sup- pose it conld do so. As I sa'd befors, we do not care to cross that bridgs until we come to it. We have been bus7 develop- ing and improving what we have got, and this required a great deal of monev. We have been too busy w'th 1hit to give any atlention to extensions, “I am not prepared to discuss the situa- ation up therr, because I have not given it any thonght. The proposition has been in the air for some time, Itis one of tke things we expect to be brought face to face with some time, but we have not got toityet. Mv visit at this time has no special significance. We have be2n spend- ing a great deal of money here, and I have come to look over the ground 10 see where it bas gone. *‘We are almost rebuilding the Atiantic and Puacific between Albuquerque and The Needles. We have also been maxing im- portant imp-ovements here, fixing up track, stations, shopsand bridges, raising grades and doingall sorts of work between here and Barstow, and, in fact, all over Soutkern California. Ishall remain here one or two deys and then go to San Francisco.” GAINS MuNEY AND A VOYAGE. Count Castellane Buys the Steam Yacht Valhalla and Sells at a Profit. NEW YORK, N.
