KNOCKED OUT COLD.
No Chance of Reaching the Fair
Ground this Way.
The Express in its recapitulation of
the schemes for rapid transit before
the city council and as preliminary
to the work of the council and also as
explanatory of the haste with which
tiie council was assembled says In its
report:
“His honor said to a reporter yester-
day that this late call tor the early
meeting was prompted by his realiza-
tion that the matter must be decided
at once or it might be impossible to
secure means of rapid transit to the
fair grounds before the fall exposi
tion.”
It is pertinent to enquire in what
way the action of tiie council on yes-
terday in any way furthered the in-
terests of fair ground transit this fall?
The rapid transit folks are out of the
ring. They are only seeking the
head of the river after six months
vain attempt to secure franchise giv-
ing guarantee to open to tiie fair
ground by November 1.
The Cross Town people will build to
the fair grounds but not this fall.
They agree to get to the fair ground
within twelve months of securing
right of way; that is nine months af-
ter the fairis held.
The only proposition atall looking to
opening of the road to the lair ground
this fall is that from the Land and
Improvement company and this com-
pany offered to give bonds to reach
the "fair grounds by November 5. with
a standard four feet eight and a half
inch gauge.
Why this gauge rather than a four
foot one? Because tiie machine shops
car shops and locomotive works are
turning out rolling stock and motive
power for a standard gauge and the
required cars and engines could be
procured in time. But if the gauge is
made four feet there is no ghost of a
chance to secure tiie material for oper-
ating the road in time. Just think of it
— ten week to build cars ami engines
and ship them to this city and put
them on track here ready to carry
passengers to the fair. It cannot tie
done. It is out of the question as
much as any other tiling tiiat is phy-
sically impossible. There is not a
concern in the county that would un-
dertake to fill that order for a four
foot track For a standard track it
could be done with a squeeze but
it would be a hard squeeze. If
his honor and the council intend to
give any relief to the situation and
| allow the fair association to transport
people to the grounds they must
change this proposition. The stick-
ing to the four foot gauge for that
I road kills transit to the fair this fall
as dead as though the'petition had
been unhesitatingly thrown into the
waste basket.
Tiie hundreds of stockholders of
that Fair and tiie thousands who
have interest in that Fair should be
heard in this matter. It is not too
late. That meeting on Friday should
revise tiie action of yesterday and per-
mit a standard guage road if the fair
ground is to be reached this fail oth-
erwise than it was attempted to be
reached last November. Tiie Land
and Improvement company have of-
fered to withdraw their proposition it
any other will be opened no
matter by whom to reach the ground
and accommodate the thousands who
will seek to visit those grounds this
fall. But this is the only way offer-
ing and this way the council has
shut up by demanding a tour loot
guage as a condition. Change this
condition in the interests of the Fair
and let San Antonio have a show to
put herself in line with Dallas.

In the month of April a bamboo
raft ten feet to twelve feet long and
about half as broad is prepared. The
p >les are lashed together with inter-
stices of an inch between them
Over this a layer of straw an inch
thick is spread and then a coating
two inches thick ot adhesive mud
(taken from the bottom of a canal or
pond) which receives the seed. The
raft is moored to the bank in still
water and requires no further atten-
tion. The straw soon gives way and
the soil also the roots drawing sup-
port from the water alone. In about
twenty days the raft becomes covered
with the creeper and its stems and
roots are gathered for cookii.g. In
autumn its small white petals and
yellow stamens nestling among the
round leaves present a very' pretty'
appearance. In some places marshy'
land is profitably cultivated in this
manner. Besides these floating veg-
etable gardens there are also floating
rice fields Upon rafts constructed
as above weeds and adherent mud
are placed as a flooring and when
tiie rice shoots are ready tor trans-
p’anting they are put in the floating
soil. The iatler being held in place
by weed roots the plants are main-
I tained in position throughout the
I season.

Our Trane With south America.
(Chicago Tribune.)
At the masthead of the vessels lying
in the port of Buenos Ayres are to be |
seen the flags of all the progressive
nations except that of the United
States. Even trade between the port
and New York is carried on mainly
on English bottoms. From New
York too comes the statement that
manufactured goods shiped from the
eastern seaboard towns are sent via
Liverpool to Buenos Ayres Rio Janei-
ro and other South American ports.
It is not uncommon for coffee and
hides shipped from Brazil the Argen-
tine Confederation and Paraguay to
be sent to Liverpool before they reach
New York Boston and Baltimore.
The only South American countries
with which the United States has
any considerable direct commerce are
Chili and Peru and that is managed
as a private speculation by a small
coterie of New York capitalists.
The international American con-
gress which is to meet at Washington
October 21. and which will have the
official cognizance of the State depart-
ment will consider a remedy for this
state of things. A committee ot New
York merchants has already agreed
on recommendations which it will
submit to that body. Some of their
recommendations are excellent in
themselves while others are vague
in form and one or two are probably
too utopian to be realized in the in-
mediate future. The recommenda-
tion for instance of measures that
shall preserve the peace>and promote
the prosperity of the several State
is somewhat of a glittering generality.
There is much more sense and sub-
stance in the recommendation for an
American customs union or zoll-verein
but is it attainable under existing
political conditions in this country?
