"Trade conditions are without

fairly optimistic.
?There la considerably more acti?

volume of business doing In Iron and

anthracite feels some effect of the us?

woolen goods strong and raw wool
prices hardening. There is e better

COMPETES WITH PANAMA.

Washington. April 20 ?Will the
various trans-Isthmian railways be
serious competitors with ths Panama
Canal when It Is completed? This
question Is already attracting ths at?
tention of Government officials. Fig*
ures prepared by expejJ0rh the Bu?

coasts of the Ualted States via the
a
Isthmian railways and connecting
steamship lines amounted to practi?

ere are two railway lines that]

tween tea Atlantic and Pacific ports
ef tke Ualted States. These official
flgurse, aow available for ths first
Urns, shew that this nsw road across
Teaeaateneo, la the southern par; of
Msateo, mast be seriously considered.
Ths Panama railway, sngaged chief?

about 911.000.009 worth of merchan?
dise originatlag In the Unltsd States,
and aoaad either for other parts of
this seuatry or for foreign ports, and
la 1000 about $9,100.00 worth.
Pteaasd before ths sari lest trans
coaUeeatal railways in ths United
States, the Tshuantspeo road was not
completed from ocean to ocean until
1994, aad even then was so badly
bulk that a partial rsconstructlon
eecams asceasery. The railroad. 190
miles in lsngth, was reconstructed,
sad modern steel docks and piers
were provided at the eastern and
wast era terminals by which trans
far rrem ths hold of ths vessel di?

Practically all the sugar from the
Hawaiian Islands destined for the
Eastern ports of the United States is
now sent by the Tehuantepec route
Instead of going aroud ths Horn, as
formerly. In fact, this new road Is
Is supplanting the Magellan route.
The steamers carrying sugar from
Hawaii to Saline Crus, at the Pacific
snd of the Tehuantepec route, pass,
after discharging their cargoes, to
the north along the western coast of
ports of Mexico, the United States
and British Columbia and thence
again to Hawaii. This will be an addi?
tional factor in the development of
the west coast of Mexico, which Ed?
ward H. Harrlman declared recently
would some day become one of the
busiest commercial stretches In the
world. It Is toward that western
coast ef Mexico that Mr. Harrlman
Is building an extension of the South?
ern Pacific railway.
The distances between New York
and San Francisco via the two rival
lines are:
Via Panama 5.306 miles
Via Tehuantepec 4,415 miles.

dispensary. Mr. Brice is a prohibi?
tionist.

Tili: CALHOTJN TRIAL.
Try to Prove That Prosecution's Star
Witness Is Merely Savins; Himself
From Punishment.
San Francisco, April 23.?Attor?
neys for Patrick Calhoun on trial,
charged with bribery, partly outlined
their defense today In completing
the two days' cross-examination of
James I* Gallagher, chief witness
for the prosecution.
The indicted street railway
president, according to conclusions
drawn from the proceedings, has un?
dertaken to attack the motives of
Gallagher and his associate members
of ths Schmitz board of supervisors
and will endeavor to show that Gal?
lagher regarded above everything
else the immunity contract whereby
ho was absolved from legal penalty
for the crimes he confessed.
In submitting to ths Jury what
was declared to be conclusive evi?
dence of perjury on Gallagher's part,
the defense referred repeatedly to In?
stances wherein the testlrrfony of the
vltness was at variance with vital ut?
terances made In previous trials.
Assistant District Attorney Heney
submitted to the Jury documents re
lating to the perjury that Gallagher
admitted, and then undertook to
show the motives of the witness in
signing the answer.
The Jury was dismissed while* the
attorneys argued the right of the
prosecution to delve into Gallagher's
motives and Judge Lawler finally up?
held Heney's contention.

The directors of the Newberry cot?
ton mills hsve arranged for enlarging
the mill by the addition of another
wing, to cost $350,000. This wing will
extend from the southeast corner
along O'Neall street, and will be made
to accommodate 10,000 new spindles
and S00 new looms, maklnjr a mill
with 40,000 spindles and over nlns
hundred looms. Ot the $250,000 to
build the addition, $160,000 will come
from the surplus accumulated by the
mill, and $100,000 in new stock will
be issued, the stockholders having
first choice of taking this stock and
they will no doubt take it all. The
capital stock of the Newberry mills Is
limited to $600,000, but the plant Is
worth over a million. The first portion
of the mill was built about twenty-five
years ago; an addition of equal size
was made In 1894? and now a third
addition of equal size as the other
will be made. It Is expected that the
work will be completed In time for the
cotton crop of 1910.
