REDUCTION MADE
IN FREIGHT RATES.
Railways of Mexico Comply With
Government Demands.
Mexico City Dec. 30. The rail-
ways have made a large reduction
m freight rates on wheat from the
United States in accordance with
the request of the Government. -This
f reduction goes into effect New
Year's day and will encourage im-
portation from the United Statps.
The rate is cut down from the bor-
der to this city from $24 per ton to
$14. Last year S65 carloads of
wheat were shipped from the Unit-
ed States to this country and a
larger amount is expected this year.
President Eng Hole Fong and
Vice President Ming of the China
Commercial Steamship Company
are here from Hong Kong accom-
panied by Lyman Mowery of San
Francisco. The purpose of their
visit is to see by personal investi-
gation what port on the Pacific
coast is besfr adapted for a terminal
point for their steamship line. They
will leave here in a few days for
Manzanillo Acapuico and other
West coast ports. These Chinese
are highly educated men speaking
English fluently. They saj-:
"Between Mexico und the East
we jm: convinced t&at we can -work
up a tremendous business. The
West coast of this -conn try abounds
in products for -which there is a

but for wiich these has heretofore
Iteea no uaeans of direct transpor-
tation. China will take much of

FARMER SAVES TRAIN
FROM TERRIBLE FATE
Stopped the Santa Fe Flyer With
An Improvised Torch Within
Few Feet of Broken Rail.
.Dallas Tex. Dec. 30. The south
bound through express-passenger
train over the St. Louis & San
Francisco and Gulf Colorado &
Santa Fe roads known as the "San-
ta Fe Flyer" from St. Louis to
Galveston was saved from a ter-
rible disaster twenty miles north of
Dallas at S o'clock tonight by a
farmer named J. B. Holloway.
In driving across the tracks be-
tween Wylie and Copeville Mr.
Holloway discovered a broken rail
in the track with the ends twisted
inward across the "road bed. He
could hear the rumblingof the train
not more than a mile or two to the
northward and hurrying toward
the spot at fully thirty miles an
hour.
Mr. Holloway-seized a bunch of
dry brush and with a match made
a torch or firebrand as soon as the
headlight of the engine shot into
view and by vigorously waving it
in warning flagged the train and
stopped it a short distance from
the broken rail. The passengers and
train men at first feared an attempt
at a hold-up by train robbers but
when the situation was made known
the' were profuse in their thanks
to Mr. Holloway and made up a
snug purse of money as a present
for him.
The (rain crew repaired the track
and whan Wylie station was reach-
ed the conductor sent a highly com-
plimentary telegram concerning
Farmer Hollowii's good work to
the headquarters of the company in
Galveston.

CONVICTS MUTINY.
Eagle Lake Tex. Dec. '30. Sev
enty -five desperate convicts brought
from the State peniterifiarv at
Huntsville to the Donavant con
vict plantation situated near here.
a few'days ago to assist in harvest
ing the sugar cane crop have been
in a state of mutiny for two daj-s
and as yet no successful plan has
leen devised for bringing them un
der control.
The' took possession of an out
house and barricaded themselves
therein two days ago. They have
refused all entreaties to come out.'
The building is surrounded by
guards and an effort is being made
to starve the mutineers into sub-
mission. The latter seem to be will-
ing to do without food in order that
they may become too weak to work.
The U. S. senate committee on
military affairs has undertaken to
investigate alleged injustice in army
appointments.
