Xew York, Dec. 3. The beginning of work again on the Great Key railway brings to mind that it was more than a year and a half ago when this great work was interrupted by the United States attorney general and charges were made that laborers on the railroad work were held in bondage, compelled to work practically without pay and were subjected to varicus sorts of oppression. The case was presented to the federal grand jury in Xew York and indictments, charging conspiracy, were found against Eduard J.

Triay of Jacksonville, resident labor agent for the road, against Francisco Sabbia, who has a private bank ac 225 Bowery, in this city, and against Frank A. Hough and David E. Harley, vho were employed by the company to take south the gangs of workmen that were engaged in New York. At an expense thai has been estimated to be as high as $500,000, the government's attorneys, after three years of preparation, had their cases literally thrown out of court, as being without foundation. Judge Hough not even reo.uiring the attorneys for the railroad to present their defense.

It since has been shown that the whole so-called "peonage" agitation was started by irresponsible workmen who had been sent south by the company, and then' after the usual manner of "hoboes," had run away from their work and sought, by their tales of "slavery," to justify their leaving. Several cf ttiese men had interviewed for news-paper purposes, but later, when it cair.e to making affidavits as to the truth of their statements, they were forced to recant woefully and to admit they were we1 treated while working on the kevs. When the Florida East Coast extension was projected the Florida state authorities offered to the railroad, which has done all it.s own construction work without subletting a single contract, the nse of every convict under sentence. Had this offer been accepted the road would have had a sufficient number of men at work at 40 cents a day without the importation of a single bit of labor. When the proposition was outlined to Mr.

Flagler by his representatives he declined to build the road by any hands other than free American labor, and the work of bringing in this labor was begun. At first the imen were l)aia 12a a da-v -nu hat to make their contributions toward their own commissary This, as was found early in the pro-ceding, was unsatisfactory, and with in a abort time the railroad was paying a minimum of $1..0 a day to its men and was providing them their food and quarters. Figures connected with the work show that it has cost t3ie company a day to feed each man employed. and both Generals Shattuc and Brocke of the I United States army, on tours of in spection ot the work, declared tha' 1 the sanitary conditions of the can, and of the commissariat for the men were better than was to be found iu tae regular r.iteci states army. It is a significant fact that while the so-called peonage cases were pending in the United States Court fully 1,500 letters were received by! thn mar (4tovvo vf i i luv 11 i.

to Be Wichita, Dec. 3. The Kansas City, Mexico and Orie-it Railroad company, is reported, has begun buying property on Wichita street north from its tracks on Bailey street to Douglas avenue, with the ultimate purpose of laying its pasenger tracks on this street and erecting a passenger depot on Wichita street facing Douglas avenue. It is said that the buying of property on this street has been in prog-dress for several days. A surveying gang was making surveys along the street last week, but it was no known that it was a railroad making the survey.

I'sing Missouri Pacific Depot. As soon as the Orient secures the right of way to Douglas avenue, it is reported, the company will lay tracks there and run into the Missouri Pacific passenger station. This could be done by using the Missouri Pacific switch to the Haword Mills. It is probable that the company would not be allowed to build another track across Douglas avenue, but it would not be necessary as long as the Missouri Pacific track could be used. It has been known for some time that the Orient has not been satisfied with its traffic arrangement with the Frisco railroad and it has been rumored that the company was on a deal with the Misouri Pacific which would again permit it to run into the Missouri Pacifc passenger depot.

One dsadvantake that the Orient has been at is thai, ihe Frkeo could give it no easier completion of the road to Sweetwater, and the installing service to that point this month and later to San Angelo, it is said that the Orient will almost be forced to make a traffic arrangement with some other road which will allow it run a train into Kansas City. tach cars to the regular I 1 1 ((ino 11 some other road?
