NCW YOHK , Sept. 17 Kegardlng the
proposed new railroad to be-constructed by
n American syndicate from Hankow to
Hong Kong , China , n distance of 000 miles ,
ex-Senator Calvin 8. Urlco said to a Tribune
reporter.
"Tho American syndicate believes that It
has fair data for estimating pretty closely
the cost of the work. It has now on hand
the property and Its engineering forces are
sending as rapidly as they can bo equipped
a corps of engineers and other officials who
will make the survey , beginning at Hankow
ard extendlnc to the city of Canton and
thence to Hong Kong , and also beginning
at the southern end and coming north , mak
ing an Independent line for the purpose of
securing as good location and favorable con
struction as possible. The work , It Is esti
mated , will consume six months and will
probably furnish us a basis for making
further calls upon the syndicate.
"The character of the syndicate may best
bo shown by a glance at the list of names.
There are In it seven representatives of
the Vanderbllt Interests and three of the
Standard Oil company , John D. Rockefeller ,
one of our largest banks ; also presidents of
one of our largest banks , also president of
several of our largo trust companies , Levl
P. Morton , George T. Hltss and the officials
of the Carnegie Steel company. The new
Federal company will probably also take an
Interest la the syndicate. The contract of
the syndicate In absolute and subject to no
allps or casualties , as the whole groundwork
has been done and money to a large amount
expended and will bo expended. As fast as
more money Is needed It will bo paid In.
Tbo cost of the road , " continued Mr. Brlee ,
"Is estimated at a minimum of 4,000,000
and a maximum of 8,000,000 , or from
ubout J20.000.000 to $40,000,000. Our best
opinion is that It will cost between $30,000-
000 and $40,000,000 , according to the
standard adopted and the amount of extra
expenditure required. The syndicate will
undoubtedly control the road for u period of
four or five years during which It Is sub
ject to negotiations which may change its
character. The provinces through which
the road will pass are the most populous
In China , having a population of 300,000-
000. Two of the provinces through which It
passes have a population greater than that
of the United States "
In addition to the Information given by
Mr .Drlcc , it may be mentioned that the
American railway will , by having Us north
ern terminal at Hankow , create a direct
llto from Pekln to Hong Kong by means
of the now road which Is to ba built by
Ilelglan-French capital and concerning
which so much has been said In connection
with the recent Anglo-Husslan troubles In
China. It will be remembered that the
charge was made that Russia was furnish
ing all the money for the road and was
using the Belgians simply as a figurehead.
The road runs through what Is called the
English sphere of influence. It was also
hinted yesterday by those In close touch
with the affairs of the American syndicate
that It was not improbable that the latter
might own the proposed road from Tien
Tain to Hankow In the end

Many people suffer the pain , annoyance
nnd other serious results from piles , foi
years , and after trying the manr lotions ,
salves , ointments and many so called cure !
without cure or relief , give up the hope ol
ft final cure rather than submit to the Intense -
tense- pain and danger to life which a sur
gical operation Involves.
Happily all this suffering Is no longei
necessary since the discovery of the Pyra
mid Pile Cure , a remedy which Is approved
by the medical profession as being obso'
lutely safe , free from any trace of opiates
narcotic or mineral poisons and v hlch maj
bo depended upon as a sure cure ( not mere
ly relief ) In any form of piles , whether Itch
ing , blind , bleeding or protruding. Some
of the hundreds of cures recently made
are little short of marvelous , as a perusa
of the following will demonstrate.

CHICAGO. Sept 17. The Times-Herald
says Philip D. Armour , Marshall Field and
Norman U. Ream have secured control of
the Baltimore S. Ohio railway. They have
made James J. Hill , president of the Great
Northern railway , the dominating factor In \
the reorganization of the ejstem , and have j
gained for Chicago and the northwest what ,
Is practically a trunk line from ocean to
ocean , controlled by Chicago capital Mr
Kcam engineered the deal by which his
wealth , that of Mr. Hill nnd of Messrs.
Armour and Tlcld gained a controlling In
terest In the Baltimore & Ohio , which here
after is to be a Chicago enterprise , fed and
sustained In transcontinental affairs by the
Immense mileage of the Great Northern
railway. H any road completes the gap be
tween the terminus of the Great Northern
railway In St. Paul and the terminus ot
the Baltimore & Ohio In Chicago It will
be the Chicago & Great Western railway ,
but that Is a matter for the future.
The Post sajs : Although authoritative
announcement of such Is withheld , the re
ported deal connecting James J. Hill of
the Great Northern railroad and prominent
Chicago men with the reorganization ot the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad is credited in
some quarters.
Norman B. Ream was the only Interested
representative In the city , as thn members
of the conference held yesterday left Chicago
cage late last night. Mr. Ream did not
venture to affirm the current reports , but a
man In close touch with him said to nn In
terviewer "He Is head over heels in rail
road matters. It may bo accepted that
there Is something In the reports or Mr.
Ream would not devote so much of bis time
to the sublect. "
An oniclal of the Baltimore & Ohio said
that Mr Hill would bo Identified with the
reorganization of the road , but that the
combination between the Baltimore &
Ohio and the Great Northern in order to
create a through trunk line from coast to
coast was a matter of the distant future.
CINCINNATI , Sept. 17. E. R. Bacon ,
president of the Baltimore & Ohio South
western Hallway company , who has been
engaged for some time with the New York
committee , Speyer & Co. , and Kuhn , Loeb
& Co. , bankers , and the receivers , In as-
slstlng In the affairs of the Baltimore &
Oho | company , was In town today and was
Interviewed about the purchase of the con
trol of the Baltimore & Ohio road. He was
reluctant to discuss the matter , but after
being advised It had been published In Chicago
cage , New- York and this city , he said a
number of representative men interested
with largo railway and commercial
interests In the northwest , Chicago
cage .New York and other cities on the com
pany's line , have been for some tlmenegot'at- '
ng for a substantial Interest In the Balti
more & Ohio railroad , and that such ne
gotiations bad been brought to a successful
conclusion. That under the reorganization
nmplo means had been provided for cutting
down grades , Increasing capacity and facil
ities ot the road and putting It In a condition
to promptly and economically handle largely
Increased business. That the reorganization
managers had also decided that the subsid
iary lines , Including the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern , should bo likewise treated
and arrangements were now being concluded
to readjust the affairs of such lines and se
cure capital to put them In the same con
dition as the main line.
Mr. Bacon was very reticent , but it Is
evident that the control has been purchased ,
and from what has been learned hero and
through other sources It Is certain that a
much larger sum than $10,000,000 has been
paid for It and that the reorganization man
agers and himself are the parties who have
made the negotiations. Mr. Bacon declined
to state whether the present receivers would
manage the affairs of the company in the
future , but it Is well known that they are
In close alliance with the new owners and
will undoubtedly bo requested by them to of
ficially manage the company's affairs.
ST. PAUL , Sept. 17. President J. J. Hill
of the Great Northern road returned from
Chicago today and made this statement to
an Associated Press reporter regarding the
Baltimore & Ohio story :
"Any connection which I may have with
the Baltimore & Ohio is simply for the pur
pose of putting that road on Its feet and
making it what It was at ono time one
ot the most Important roads In the country.
Recently It has failed to such an extent
that It was on Incubus. Any Intention I
may have with regard to the Baltimore &
Ohio has no connection with the Great
Northern. Neither has the Great Northerner
or mys'elf any connection with any rail
road between St. Paul and Chicago , and ,
furthermore , neither did I expect to have
any such connection. Someone who Is re
sponsible for a statement to the contrary
has an Imagination that Is altogether too
vivid. " Further than this Mr. Hill had
nothing to say regarding the matter.
BALTIMORE , Sept. 17. The statement
that the control of the Baltimore & Ohio
railway system Is about to be passed out ot
the bands of those who for so long a time
have been Identified with It and the con
sequent inference that Baltimore would
probably cease to be the headquarters of the
company caused a. profound sensation here
today , but nothing definite can be learned
as to details and the probable effect upon
the future ot the road. Neither of the re
ceivers has as yet returned from Chicago
and other officials of the road are reticent.
Messrs. Alexander Shaw , Frank C. Humble-
ton and other members of the committee in
structed by the Baltimore stockholders to
undertake the reorganization of the system
profess to know nothing whatever concernIng -
Ing the reported deal and that aside from
the Oarrett holdings , the transfer of which
was reported several weeks ago , It is not
known that any large blocks of stock have
been parted with by Baltlmoreans. Pres
ident Gllman of the Johns Hopkins unlvcr-
stly , which institution Is the largest holder
of the preferred stock of the company , said
today that ho was not prepared to say until
further advised as to the probable effect of
the deal upon the suits now pending In the
United States courts to defend the status
of those ) securities.

MILWAUKEE. Sept. 17. At the Chicago ,
Milwaukee & St. Paul stockholders' meetIng -
Ing held In this city texiay only routine
business was done and the old directors and
officers were re-elected. Mr. Armour , when
! asked about the Baltimore & Ohio deal , rc-
I piled "i mil here on St Paul business
, only and cannot talk about the Baltimore
! & Ohio. "
Mr Armour , when seen after the St. Puil
meeting , said "I confirm the transaction
referred to. The line Is not to be a trans-
contlnentcl line , but simply the Baltimore
& Ohio. There Is no deal concerned with
It relating to the lines between Milwaukee
and Chicago " He declined to discuss the
matter timber.

John Francis , general passenger agent ol
the B. & M. , has returned from a visit to
the Burlington experimental farms In Kan
sas and Nebraska. All of the stations in
spected , especially the one at St. Francis ,
Kan. , were found to bo In excellent condi
tion. Mr. Francis eays he Is more con
vinced than ever of the wisdom of the company -
, pany In expending a large sum of money to
support agricultural experimental stations
along Its line. He says the Increased re
turns of farms In the vicinity , due to the
adoption ot Improved methods and the mak-
| Ins of betterments suggested , means more
money for the farmers and more freight and
passenger traffic for the railroad company.
I'roin t
Railroad reports Indicate that there will
be an Immense attendance here on October
1 > o help cajebrate Chicago day at the ex-
posltlcu. The Milwaukee road has arranged
for a special train to bring out tbo members
of the Chicago Board of Trade. The train
will consist of twelve elegant sleepers of
the Milwaukee road. The Northwestern
line has secured the contract for bringing
out the members of the Union League club ot
Chicago and will furnish them a hand
some train of fifteen cars. There are other
clubs that are making arrangements for the
trip , and all the roads aio watchlnc after
their traffic.
GLIMPSES OF THE MIDWAY
The proprietor of Schlltz's paMllon has
obtained a concession to erect a building In
the cattle and horse exhibit to sell all kinds
of refreshments and serve meals.
An Omaha critic savs that ono of "Tril
by's" legs Is longer than It really ought to
be. Be that as It may "Trilby" Is "get
ting there with both feet" and crowds are
dally visiting this production. It Is without
doubt the most wonderful and beautiful
work of art ever placed upon exhibition
The owner of "Trilby" Is under lasting obli
gations to the "critic" for the Interest she
has awakened and also for the public to see
how much In error she was.
The- performances at Hagenback's Wild
Animal show on the Midway during the last
week have been witnessed by thousands of
visitors , the attendance being fully up to
that of some former special occasions. Not
withstanding the severity of the weather on
Monday and the fact that a number of at
tractions on the Midway were closed , Hagen
back's was fairly well patronized and four
performances given during the day and
evening. Seldom , If ever , has so superior
an exhibition of trained wild animals been
given to the American public as Is now-
daily presented at this establishment. Frank
C. Bostock , the director and manager of
amusements , Is sparing no effort to main
tain for Hagenback's exhibition of wild ani
mals the excellent reputation which It cn-
Jojed In Europe for over llfty years and is
still regarded with the very highest favor
by the people of that country. Manager
Bostock has Investigated every part of the
mown world in search of wild animals and
las added to the aggregation at the expo
sition some very rare and valuable speci
mens.
The Llbby Glass blowers yesterday in
vited the school children and their teachers
to their works. They also offer to give
to each and every child that attends the
public schools of this city a pass Into their
works for the small sum of G cents.
Psycho Is a little wooden image about
the size of a 10-j ear-old boy and Is dressed
In a fantastic Turkish costume , but It Is
Psycho's work that confuses and mystifies
people. In front of Psycho Is a holder or
quadrant on which are placed In regular
order cards on which are the numerals from
1 to 0. At the word of command Psycho
picks out these cards with unerring accu
racy. He solves mathematical problems ,
answers questions , shakes hands , does the
bidding of any one In the audience and
finally winds up his performance with an
exhibition of mind reading that Is little-
short of marvelous. There Is an Illusion
called Holla which is very good , and hero
again the audience Is allowed a veiy close
Inspection and Rolla proves nearly as much
of a mystery as Psycho.
Among the new arrivals on the Midway Is
Mrs. Rodlte , a sister of Gaston Akoun , the
proprietor of the Streets of All Nations.
She is considered one of the handsomest
women In America , but she carries her
beauty with a grace only known among the
fair women of the upper 400. The Streets
of All Nations continues to be a star at
traction of the exposition.
Hong Slinc of the Chinese Village an
nounces the arrival of new people and a
complete change of attractions on the stage
In the Chinese theater , which is the most
novel feature of the Midway. Sing Ling
Fee , the wonderful Chinese magician , la
drawing larce crowds of visitors and per
forms some mysterious acts. One of the
greatest sensations of the past week In the
village and on tbo Midway was the arrival
direct from Peking of a number of Chinese
women , one of whom has with her a Httlo
baby 2 years old. The village has many
other attractions besides the theater. An Im
mense bazaar of all kinds of Chinese manu
factured goods and curios Is of considerable
Interest and popular place for women to
do shopping.
The Palace of Mysteries is the talk of all
Omaha and deserves thoroughly the high
praleo and commendation bestowed upon
this excellent attraction. That charming
mesmeric production , "Lunette , the Maid
of the Moon , " has proved an unqualified
success , appealing as It does both to the
love of the beautiful and the mjsterlous
and is unquestionably the most
marvelous Illusion ever seen. The
great cost of the production In connec
tion with "She" and La Belle Scllka In the
"Dancing Girl" illusion caused the manage
ment to cancel all Moorish Village passes
so far n < 5 the Palace of Mysteries Is con
cerned , but those favored with passes have
cheerfully paid the price of admission and
are now enthusiastic patrons of the sho.v.
"Lunette" is well worth u visit and will
prove a pleasing surprise to all. Ishmael ,
the famous Hindoo , gives an interesting
ard mystifying free performance in the
lobby of tbo Palace of Mysteries , and Is
said to be the highest priced Individual
performer at the exposition.
The Casino theater continues to draw-
crowds. The attraction ! ) of last week will
continue the coming week. The pcoplo nil
i oelng specialists and having made u decided
hit the management decided to continue the
same program until the anlval next week

The Old Plantation , with Its darkey Jubilee
singers and dancers , is .1 fcatuie of Inter
est on the Midway and Is constantly overrun
with visitors and Is lepeatlng the entertain
ment in the mammoth theater In the rear
of the village continuously.
' The destruction of the Maine , tjplcally
'
reproduced In the electric theater next to
the Maglo garden on the West Midway , Is A
wonderful piece of mechanical genius nnd
art. U 1s a high class entertainment nnd
j the better class of people arc showing their
appreciation of It by their liberal attend-
J. G. Griffith of the Scenic railway has un
shaken faith In the ultimate S.UCCCBS of the
exposition. Ho has the largest Investment
of any one show on the grounds. He has an
actual investment of over $20,000 in cash
and without doubt one of the leading
features of entertainment on the grounds
Visitors to the exposition cannot afford tu
mUs a ride on the scenic railway and wit
ness the beautiful scenery and the typical
j reproduction of the bombardment of ManliU
along the route.
I The Japanese Tea Garden and Curio store
Is constantly filled with visitors , of which
j the women are especially Interested in the
lovely ornamental Japanese goods.
I The Fall of Babylon Is receiving prcat at
tention on the Midway. When this picture
was Oral exhibited In Paris It created the
i most Injgnse excitement and great thronga
collected before It day after day. U won
for the artist the ribbon of the Legion of
Honor.
The Ostrich farm Is visited by many of the
people coming to the exposition. Ihe new

The musicians of Omaha have for a con
siderable time past been raising a hue and
ery with regald to not getting paid for
their services. The plain and unvarnished
truth of the whole matter Is that the fault
lies entirely with the musicians themselves.
The season Is now- about to begin. In an-
1 other month musical matters will have
taken definite shape. Studios will have
been opened , new teachers come to town ,
i nnd It IB a good Idea for everybody to stop
and consider.
I Musicians ore by reputation unbusiness
like This Is often accounted for by the
fact that their emotion carries them away ,
and It Is impossible for a person to be en
gaged In any emotional pursuit and have
at the game time theublllt ) to manage liU
ov.n affairs in a businesslike manner. But
If thin holds true what shall we say of n
criminal lawyer ? Truly , that is a pursuit
In which the emotions are moved and stirred
just as by a violin or an organ. Thu suc
cess of a practitioner In this particular line
dopcnJs mu'nly on his power to work upon
thu feelings of a jur > A concert musician's
success depends largely on his ability to
play upon the feelings of nn audience and
! gtlll , lawyers have a reputation ot being
somewhat addicted to the habit of taking
good care of their own Interests. Much ot
the lack of business In the musician is duo
to carelessness. Many musicians affect an
Indifference to the things of this life , and
llvo In an upper strata of symphonic clouds.
And there they dream and dream until once
moro nature brines them to their senses
by the gentle but firm gnawing * of a
vigorous appetite ,
Music and business are not Incompatible ,
this has been proven many times.

the protection of the professional musician
who did not belong to bands or orchestras.
Members of these branches of tbo art find
sufficient and ample assistance and strength
through the Musicians' Protective associa

tion.A
A bandman cannot take work less than a
certain figure without the permission of the
entire union. The result of this Is that good
musicians are in demand and the better
the musician the moro money he makes ;
that Is only right , as It keeps out of tbo
union the class of men who Injure good
musicians by cutting prices and compelling
men who are artists on their Instruments
to play for less than their proper prices.
Musicians arc queer people. They must
live and Incldently they must cat , to say
nothing of the Inspiration which may bo
required at times which takes a various
form. The existence of this union keeps
all the good musicians on one price , below
which they cannot go , no matter how much
higher they may demand. The result is
that they cannot underbid each other and
all get an equal share of the remunerative
business. People say that union musicians
are exacting and Independent and very ob
stinate with regard to their prices. In reply
It might bo said that by rare coincidence
musicians have found butchers , bakers ,
' tailors and landlords affected In exactly
the same way. People fold their hands
complacently and say music Is a gift of
the gods , and should not be commercial
ized , music should be given away like
flowers , but It Is a strange thing that BO
many florists are making a good living.
Wild flowers arc given away and so should
uncultivated music bo freely dispensed to
the starving multitudes of people who are
hungry for harmony.
Speaking of florists and approaching a
graver subject , It Is singular that people I
will thoughtlessly expect musical services
to bo donated at a funeral ot some dear
friend , but they will telephone to the florist
to send up the most expensive wreath that
his art can design.
And returning to the question of the or
ganization of concert singers and players ,
quartets , etc. Why Is there no protection
for the largo clans ot people who are en
gaged in this branch of work ? The only
way out of the difficulty Is for the musi
cians to get together and form themselves
into an association on the lines of the Musi
cal union. Prices in this town are demor
alized , and a man who wants good music
and is wiling to pay for It Is at a complete
loss to know what to do. Ho wllr engage
a certain quartet ) at $20 and think that he
has done n good thing. Next day some
musician will say to him , "I could have
given you Just as good a quartet for $10 and
I can do it now " Then the man who has
engaged the first quartet feels that he han
been victimized , and in the name ot all that
is reasonable , why shouldn't ho' It Is pos
itively surprising to find how many of the
reputable musicians of Omaha are willing to
cut their prlco down even as low 03 $2 for
an entire evening's work , In order to get ) an
engagement These remarks allude alto
gether to the field of concert work. Teach
ing U simply a matter for a teacher to rein-
istder himself Many cases will arise where
prices might necessarily vary , but In the ex
perience of more than one teacher , pupils
who really and earnestly crave for a musical
education will find some means of procuring
the money to pay for It , and very few teach
ers who have absolutely given away lesions
have been rewarded by the loyalty which
should have been theirs U is an exception
Indeed when a pupil proves grateful1 We
hear a great deal about rcvlvahi of reli
gionand what Omaha needs more than any
thing cine Is * thorough awakening on the
i p.irt ot the musical leaders of Omaha to the
I stagnant condition of music In this com-
I munlty. If they will act , there will bo nc
trouble ubout others following.
It Is shocking to contemplate that In a
city of the size of Omaha and with the tre-
