Mr. McCormick’s successor here is to | be Charles S. Fee of St. Paul, who is at general passenger and ticket agent of the Northern Pacific Railway. The news of E. O. McCor- mick’s promotion was a pleasant sur- prise to his many friends in the local raflroad world and will be received with deep interest by the large circle of acquaintances he has made during present his comparatively short stay in San Francisc Discussing the changes yesterday, General Manager Julius Kruttschnitt Company, tion, said: “Mr. Stubbs has long felt the need of another assistant in his office in Chicago and his expressed wishes re- of the Southern Pacific garding the selection of Mr. MecCor- mick have been gratified.

He was appointed to the position of | passenger afid ticket agent of the! Northern Paecific Railway in 1883 It was stated yesterday that Mr. Stubbs will probably come west from New Or- leans. General Manager Kruttschnitt has Jjust returned from a visit to New York, and came west by way of the Lucin| cut-off, over .which the company has| begun to operate freight trains. Upon being asked yesterday when the com- pany expected to operate passenger | trains regularly over the cut-off he said: No definite time hag been settled on. 'The fact is that the construction de- partment is still engaged in operating work trains over the new line. A great| deal of filling in has yet to be done along the immense length of trestle, as was done along the trestle to the Oak- land mole, and to clear the tracks sev- | eral times each day for the passage of | passenger trains would consume much time of the construction department.| Therefore we have decided not to at- tempt to operate our passenger service over the cut-off until ail work has been | completed, which may be some time.” Mr. Kruttschnitt stated that twenty- five of the forty new heavy consolida- tion locomotives ordered some time ago by the company are now *between Og- den and Sacramento on their way to the coast, where they are to be imme- diately placed in service on the heavy grades 'of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Siskiyou, Tehachapi steep-graded portions of the system.

Prompt action was taken in preference to referring the matter to Congress, | because of the continuation of the dis- turbances. President Roosevelt was consulted and approved the action. Secretary Taft told the committee that he had received a cablegram to- day from General Wade stating that | General Wood reported that on account |of the anti-slavery proclamation the | Moros of the Rio Grande del Mindanao | district had risen, and that this armed | force had been met and defeated with {no American loss, but with consider- able loss to the Moros. A considerable number of small cannon was captured from the Moros in the engagement. Representative Crumpacker imme- diately drafted a substitute for the Patterson bill abrogating the treaty, providing that the action of the Presi- dent and Secretary of War taken on March 2, 1904, unqualifiedly abrogating the Bates treaty, proved. Secretary Taft approved this, but the committee decided to defer its | action on the matter, desiring to hear is abrogated and held for and as residents of the Moro Sacretary Taft on the rallroad prob- lem in the islands. —_— DECISION IS SOUND LAW.
