Judeon Harmon, of Cincinnati, former Attorney Oeneral of the United State under Preal dent Cleveland, will ba appointed to tb position. Mr. Morgsn Is determined that tba af fairs of tha road ba exposed to tha public gas under the authority of tha Court, and that tha whole country shall lesxn to wliat extent na haa been deoelved. Mr. Morgan la aald to have discovered tha alleged bad condition of the road after ha had turned It over to ibe Erie.

As soon aa thla was made plain to him ha took tha property back Voluntarily, declaring that ha would atand tba loaa personally, even If It amount to $10,000,000, Mr. Morgan's enemies, however, do not tk surti a charitable view of his action. They declare that E. H.

Mr. Morgan said that unless changed hla mind It waa his Intention to bold on to the road, aa ha believed It to, be valuable property. He said that wbsn the talk first started about his purchase and tha knocking" began, about two weeks ago. he wss waited upon by Eugene Zimmerman. Tha meeting occurred In Mr.

Morgan himself would aay nothing beyond that he now owns the road, and that he beiievea It haa great possibilities. But there may be a great deal behind Mr. Morgan's show or contentment. Hs may.desir to let tha matter drop. Certain It la that tha develop-menta In the deal have not had a tendency to Inspire confidence among Investors, who reason that If a financier as astute as Mr.

Morgaa I conceded to a can be deceived. If he wa deceived as to tba financial condition of a great railroad property, tha public is helpleea in th hands of tha sponsors for th other great properties if they choose to practice deception. That tha exponents of high finance do not always adhere to the strictest principles of morality haa been sbundantly proved by th developments of th laat 13 months. It eeame incredible, however, that a banking house with such an extensive equipment for determining the financial condition of a railroad property should have been so completely deceived as to Cincinnati. Hamilton and Dayton, and there la a very strong suspicion that tbe whole truth aa to th cans that led tap to the Morgaa purcri hav aot yt beea revealed.

It la thought there war other considerations than tbe mere desirability of tbe system aa aa adjunct of th Erie. Didst Look BJfht To Xany. From th very first there appeared to some financiers aa ugly aspect to a trans-acttoa which placed Mr. Morgaa la th position of selling ta th Erie system, which he controlled, a property which ha had bought at aa extravagant price aad unloaded at a profit that sesmed extraordinarily hberal. But still more opea to criticism waa tbe fact that tha stockholdara of tha Ert aya-tm were never given aa opportunity to vote on tbe proposition.

Tbe sal. It la claimed, waa consummated by tba Morgaa Board of Directors oa their own authority, and tha property waa paid for by tha sale of bonds, whoa Issu was authorised by tb stockholders In 1901 solely for tha purpose of providing fund for Ert Improva-meata. Railroad men wer a ring to-day that Mr. Morgaa might purau a waiting policy for a tins until knows thoroughly how aeavuy in t. M.

About thre months ago, when It flrst rumored that tha Hamilton aad Day ton system would ba sold to tha Erie oa tha basis of an Erie hood Use, conscrva tlve critic refused to aredlt the story.

Tbetr reasoning wa that th Eri bai long beea suffering from deficient work lag capital and tha absence of needed lm proven-ten tav Erie Needed Xoney. Tha only mean of taking over the Hamilton aad Daytoa waa by issuing convertible bonds, and all people familiar with the Erie wera aware that the proceeds of flO.OUO.ono convertible bonds, which It had th right to Issu during th currant fiscal year, were Imperatively needed for the property Itself. Furthermore, area if tb Cincinnati. Ham ilton and Dayton could ba need to advan tage ta the Eri system It waa not deemed likely that a reasonable value would ba placed oa the property. Tbe merging of the Cincinnati.

Hamilton and Daytoa with tae Par Marquette had been marked by a succession of "underwriting syndicate" and rak ons so extra vacant and taoeely conducted as to bewilder even the financiers connected with tb transaction. Nevertheless. In tha face of protests, the deal went through. Last September tha purchaa was announced on term a wildly extravagant aa any one had dared to I aglnc. and tha Erie's credit factutles for a year ahead were surrendered by tha Directors to it- Last Wednesday, after two months' oelay.

But there 1 another feature of the dalug of traffic that has swamped the railroads everywhere. Every big system haa Its corps ot agents. whose work Is to solicit business from manufacturers and other shippers. Rivalry has been strenuous. But now thee agents find ar business handed to them than their roads eaa poaeibly handle.

Soliciting la en tirely unnecessary, and Where heretofore their efforts hav been directed to "drumming trade. bow their most difficult work ts the daily tuaal with th operating de partments to get the traffic moved and to explain delays to shipper. A prominent traffic official said yesterday that shippers and receiyers could materially help to relieve th situation by promptness oa their part tn loading cars furnished and In tbe unloading of cars received-. Rail roads to-day would rather have th cars promptly unloaded than to receive the de murrage chrgea. They ar mora profitable In service than standing on aid tracks under demurrage.

Shippers ar allowed from two to four days for tba unloading of car load lots and forty-eight hours for tha removal of package freight. Tbe official aald that If Cincinnati receivers aad shipper of freight would load and unload car imme diately It would ga far toward relieving thi snort vf.

A waa sitting reading when tbe mlssils sfas hurtled through- tha win dow juat to my left. I was sitting with my back somewhat toward the window to get a better light from tha car lamps upon tne newspaper that held In my hand. The train, I suppose, was going about 20 miles an hour. There was a shower of glass that fell In splinters upon th paper, the splinters tearing it In many places. 'The missile fell across the aisle, hitting the rear of the seat in front across ths aisle.

I stooped over to Took and saw a thine about th sis of your fist, mads of lead and fashioned, somewhat like a pear, lying in the aisle. I picked It up. It weighed about a pound. I should think, or a little more. It was a mason's or carpenter's plumb bob.

"Tb. crash of the glass and tha fall ot the missile made quite a deal of noise, and there was a momentary commotion tn the car. The Incident was very peculiar, to say the least. "It waa dark as we peered out of the win dow to see whence the thing had come. but.

of course, by th time we had don this wa war mile away from tbe point where tho mlaelle waa thrown.

"If the thing had struck ma I probably would have been' killed, or at least very badly Injured this from tbe force with which It wa thrown and tb speed oftbe train. I had a narrow eacap.

It would caus no surprise If an effort were made to have Congress suspend all work pending a thorough Inquiry Tber eeems to be much confusion grow. Ing out of ths numerous and conflicting reports from the various expert advisers who have been consulted by tha Administration regarding technical features of cansl construction. The President knows that Conrress must be asked for genersl canal legis lation, aspeclslly for additional appro- prlationa. and it la hla fear that the request may be made the excuee for a re opening of the entire question, with de lay aa tha object.

Rather than have this done, it la believed ha will accept re-eponalblllty for carrying th work forward under existing condttlona. One of tha causes of trouble so far has been tha multiplicity of boaaee. A proposition will mads In Congrss that tha entire canal echeme be placed In tha Prealdent'a handa. Iurln tha coming e.slon a treaty with China will be drafted and eubmlt- ted to the Senate for approval, covering Immigration from that country. Thla la an Important matter that haa been hang ing fir for mor than a year.

The Admlnlatration la prepared to make concessions to China that will se cure tha good will of that country and remov hostility to American buslnsss Interests in the empire.

If an attempt 1 to be tnsde to lift the bars against th ad.nlaalon of Chinese coolie a big fight will be precipitated.

The labor Intereata will never gre to proposition of this kind, and while the subject has not beea much dlsoussed It Is a real live Issus. The limit of con cession whit the labor party there Is willing to Risks Is to remove the restric tions on th admissions of merchants, students and parsons trsvellng for pleas ure. Foremost In Interest of all problems com ing before the new Congress Is the rall- roaa-rate question. Tb Senate commu te which haa th matter In hand at pres ent win aivioea into two or more fsc tions. but there la little doubt that a rna Jority will report a bill along tba lln advocated or tha Prealdent.

If anv iri fight Is to be mad on th Prealdent era plana It will probablr com on th floor of the Senate. It appears that tbs President nas broken down practically all opposition In the Houaa. where he ha. tn that th committee will reoort anv hiii k. want.

Several of tha moat Influential members of the Senate are still balk In at tha neon enroll lO gIV tn rt-mking power to eoersi body, and the chances sre that tney win go down to defeat still objecting, The President Is confident thst he will get what he wants In the wsv of rmiim.A bill, and Indication ar at thla time that he will not disappointed.
