Japanese Post Office Savings Banks.
A native journal states that the
development of the system of Post
Office Savings Banks in Japan has
been remarkable during the past
fourteen years. They were estab-
lished by the Government in 1875
with the object of encouraging
thrift, and to collect the small sums
scattered about in private keeping.
At first they attracted so little at
tention that at the end of 1875 there
were only 1000 depositors with
1890 dollars lodged. Henceforth.
however, the figures increased at s.
remarkable rate. In 1876 the de-
posits amounted to SAL ,845, in 1882
to 81 .05S, 900, in 1885 to $1,000, 600.
and in 1889 to s2O,451, 900. In
Toxic the number of depositors is
$4,000, and the amount of
their deposits s1O,4OO,OOO. 1t
is believed that the poorest
people are not depcsitors, in
asmuch as during the recent
distress, due to the comparative
failure of the rice crop, the deposits
has undergone no diminntion.

COLOMBIA'S RAILWAYS.
An Interesting statement Concerning tn
Railways of Colombia.

An Interesting statement Concerning the
Railways of Colombia.
WASHINGTON. March l0.-The de-
paItment of state has received from the
United States minister at BogOta an in
tcresting statement concerning the
railways of Colombia. in which he says:
This country is among the most
mountainous of the world. As re-
suit. all communication is. and always
has been. most difficult and expensive.
Nearly all freight must be transported
by mules as soon as it leaves the great
rivers. The people here realize their
difficulties caused by the tedious meth
DDS now employed, and with com
mendable spirit of progress have made
numerous contracts with various for
eign companies for the cOnstruc-
ton of roads. For one reason
or another the contracts have
not been productive of great results.
So that, to-day there are only nine
railroads in the country. aggregating
in length go kilometres, and two of
these. covering about forty-twO kilo-
metres, were built by native cOmpa-
nies."
Colombia. he says, has no system of
railroads but only isolated short lines.
The need of more and better con-
structed and better managed roads is
keenly felt This situation induced the
congress to grant several concessions to
foreign companies for the construction
of new roads.

A NAVAL DRY DOCK. o

\ Site Adjoining the Naval Reservation
at Algiers. La, Recommended by the
Locating Commission-The Price Of the
site.
WASHINGTON. March 10.-The report
If the commission of naval officers, ap-
pointed 10 select a site for dry dock
ON the Gulf of Mexico or its connecting
waters. submitted its report to the sec
retary Of the navy yesterday. The
commission reports in favor of a site
adjoining the present naval reservation
at Algiers. La. opposite New Orleans.
\ commission previously appointed had
selected the same site. but the report
WAS never formally approved.
In its report the commission says
that the primary requisites for a dry
dock are clear channel to the sea at
depth of at least twenty-six feet, sta
bility of foundation to support load
of ID. 900 tons, and protection by a dis
tance of II miles or by an intervening
elevation of the ground from gun-fire
from the sea. All the requirements
were found at the site selected. and
after reviewing the advantages and
disadvantages of other places visited
Key West. Tampa, Pensacola, Mobile,
Port EatIs. New Orleans, Galveston and
Aransas Pass-the commission says:
~ review of the foregoing shows that
the south pass Of the Mississippi af-
fnrds the only entrance twenty-six feet
deep to a port or harbor in the Gulf Of
Mexico or waters connected Herewith.
far enough from the sea To be safe
from gun-fire."
The price asked for the site selected,
which extends from the Southern Pa
cifir railroad ferry down 1000 or 5000
feet along the river bank-is sl5O,OO0.
but the commission thinks that the
sum Of 100000. asked by one Of the
parties. the Oliver estate, for its part OF
the site. is excessive.

About a month ago Mr.. Scoville sent
