DELAwARN rERM1NAL pAssEn.

The House bill to incorporate the
Delaware terminal railroad passed the
Senate with amendments. AS the bill
now stands. the company is author
I7ed to run its tracks from any point on
the Southern Boundary line of the
state north via Lewes, Milton, Milford,
Erederica, Rising Sun, Dover, Smyrna
delaware City, to any point on the
line between New Castle county and
the state of Maryland. Actual work
of construction must be begun in two
years, or the charter becomes null and
void. The franchise cannot be sold to
any competing line at the present
time operating in either of the lower
counties of the state. This leaves the
franchise subject to the option of the
b. q o., which has no lines in these
counties. This is the first time that a
charter has been granted to a compet-
ing line down in the Peninsula, and it
has been done without the expenditure
OF dollar for lobbying. 1t was en-
dorsed by thousands of Delawareans
and dozens of petitions have come to
the Legislature for its passage.

THE ITALIAN PocKeT-Book
Interested In II Speedy Settlement of the
New Orleans Affair.

Interested In n Speedy Settlement of the
New Orleans Affair.
New YORK, May 25.-The following
extract from letter written by bust
ness man in Rome, on May 8, to friend
in this city is of interest as indicating
the real feeling there over the diplomatic
controversy between the United States
and Italy;
THE present question between the
two governments has entirely failed to
disturb commercial relations between the
countries or even to arouse the lazy
apathy of this nation. The better class of
Italians give right to the citizens of
New Orleans, and the hotel-keepers
and small trades people miss the Ameri-
can gold so freely spent in Italy every
year, and make an outcry against the
Italian prime minister for his insolent
telegram to Washington and his stupid
policy. He is new to power and he al
ready sees his rashness, so that ere this
letter reaches you | hope the New Or
leans incident will be a thing of the past.
The United States minister to Rome,
Governor Porter, who is my friend does
not seem to think the matter serious at
all, while of course he recognizes the
undignitied manner in which Italy has
acted, contrasted with the dignity of the
United States government

Secretary Foster Anticipates No Trouble
in Meeting the Quarterly Pension Pay
ment of see, 900, OOO--BOnds Might he
FIOated at 1-a Per Gent, but 3 Per
Cent VIII Satisfy the Secretary.
WASHINGTON, May 25. - Secretary
Foster says that he anticipates no diff
Guilty in meeting the quarterly pension
payments aggregating $26, ,000, 900, which
balance is now nearly $40, 900, 900 and
will go beyond sec 200, 900 by the early
part of June, by the continued excess Of
receipts over expenditures.
The secretary said there was no neces-
sity, so far as he could see, for calling in
any government deposits held by National
banks to meet pension obligations This
bank fund amounts to $24, ,500, 900, ex-
elusive of money deposited to the credit
of disbursing officers.
Secretary Foster said further, in re-
sponse to inquiries on the subject, that
while it was not altogether settled, 1t
was more than likely that the department
would give the holders of the $50 600, 600
four-and-a-half per cent. bonds outstand-
ing an opportunity to renew those bonds
after Sept. l at reduced rate Of in
terest.
Unless the secretary of the treasury
decides to continue the four-and d-a-half
per cent bonds beyond the date of their
maturity, Sept. ! next, without abate-
lnent of interest, it will be necessary for
him to give three months notice TO bond
holders of his policy in regard to that
loan. This will have to be done under
the law, either in case he decides to re-
deem the bonds at maturity or in case he
decides it best to extend them at re-
duced rate of interest.
A circular ON this subject will be is
sued by the treasury department in a
few days. 1t will announce that the
present rate of interest on the four-and-
a-half per cent, loan will cease Sept. /,
and will probably say that the holders of
all such bonds as do not desire their re-
demption at that date may secure their
continuance at the interest rate of per
cent, thus allowing the owners the OPP
ton of retaining their bonds at lower
interest rate if they desire to do 30, with
out placing the government In the po-
sition of asking for more time.
A Bankers Opinion.
The secretary said San Francisco
banker had given the opinion that these
bonds could be hoated at 1-2 per cent.
interest. He, however, did not think
such a thing feasible with an interest
rate less than per cent. II was his inn
preston that the matter would be settled
definitely in short time. He said that
the recent gold shipments had clearly
established one thing, and that was that
the credit of the United States was
above that of any other nation, and
could not be shaken by the severest
drain.
Discussed at the Cabinet Meeting.
The financial situation was considered
at the meeting Of the cabinet Friday,
but without result so far as known.

The People of Acapulco Much
Alarmed.

Afraid the Commander of the Vessel May
BOmbard the City, and ForcibIy Take
What Fuel He Needs-Her Officers Tell
Fairy Stories, but They Fail to Have
the Desired Effect.
New YORK, May 25.-The Herald's
Washington dispatch says:
The coal bunkers of the Esmeralda are
still empty. Official advices received at
the state department show, however,
that the officers still have designs on the
Pacific Mail Steamship company's coal
pile. They are growing desperate and
they are not above trickery to accom-
plish their object.
1t Didn't Work.
A dispatch from the vice consul at
Acapulco states that they came ashore
Friday morning and represented that
they had just received word from Iquique
that the Itata matter had been settled to
the satisfaction of all parties concerned.
In the light of this information they
begged that they be allowed to receive
