Railf Oad Building in the South.

The present year, 1898. is not good
year for railroad building, and the
total mileage constructed for the
twelve months will be we'll below the
average, says an exchange. The year
began badly, and the financial crisis
has, of course, made it worse, has
checked all railroad construction and
activity. Of the mileage laid the South
has secured the greater portion, and up
to date a Southern State, North Caro-
lima, leads in construction.
President ingalls,, of the big -Four
Line," purely western road, in his
address at the World Fair on Railroad
Day, expressed his opinion that the
South is just now entering upon it's
period of greatest railroad activity and
development, and predicted that it
would build at least 100000 miles Of
railroad within the next thirty years,
trebling its mileage and giving it a
total Of l50, 900 miles, or nearly as much
as the entire country possesses at pres
ent.
There is every reason to believe that
Mr.. ingalls, prophecy will prove cor
rect. In the last decade the South has
more than doubled It's railroad mileage,
and in the past thirty years it has
doubled it twice. The future promises
WE'LL even if we happen to have a peri.
cd of stagnaton just now. The South
needs nearly 30, 600 miles more railroad
to give it the same transportation facil-
tiles as the rest of the country possess
ses, and it promises to have an increase
Of population during that time that will
necessitate 80 900 miles more By 1920
it ought to have, and we believe will
have 100 900 miles of railroa,l-at
which time no town or section of the
South will be able to complain of lack
of transportation facilities.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Secretary
Smith has sent to the Senate the re-
ply of Commissioner Lochren to the in
quiries in the Lacey resolution. The
number of pensions granted during the
period ending September l, 1898, was
55, 5,244. Of these 9,lS7 were under the
general law and 46, ,057 under the law of
1890. The number rejected were S.
702, S,395 being under the general law
and ,343 under the law of 1890. The
average monthly award to each of the
classes of the claimants was under the
general law $7.17, and under the law of
1890 $9.43.
The number Of suspensions during
the period given by mouths, as request
ed by the resolution, shows that from
September l., 1892, until May, 1898,
there were no suspensions under the
act of July 27, 1890, but that they rapid
ly increased from that time until Sep
tember, 1898. Under the general law
the suspensions from September, 1892,
to April, 1898, inclusive, were: Sep
temberI 81; October, 80; November, ~;
December, 81; January, 81; February,
SO, March, 102; April, 1856
From that time until September l j,
1898, the suspensions under both laws
were as follows:
General Ac. of
Law 1880.
May 293 I2
June 464 | 222

August Is BOIL
The total suspensions under the gen.
eral law for the year was l, ,569, and un-
der the act of 1890, for the four months
1912. Commissioner Lochren says it
is proper to add that under the act of
March l, 1898, the pensions Of 1856
persons residing outside the Jurisdiction
of the United States have been sus-
pended since July l, 1898. Also that
IN 1872 cases suspended under the

CHICAGO. April 29-This has been Chi
cago's busy day; and that is saying a good
deal; for Chicago is always busy, and for
the past two years has been much so and
growing more so, the climax having ar
rived in these latter days of the month of
April, 1898 And, as is remarked above,
this Saturday, April %, has been the busi-
est day of them all. For the work was
pushed a little-probably a great deal
harder at the fair grounds, and besides
that there Were three receptions of distin-
guished guests-the avant couriers of
the millions less distinguished who will
have come inside the city's gates ere the
close of the great exposition.
1t Speaks Though Inanimate.
And first of these guests was one which +,
though inanimate, spoke to the popular
heart-with all Difference be it said-in
stronger, more enduring tones than many
of the eminent men whom Chicago shall
honor during the Worlds fair day and
months. 1t spoke of the birth of the love
of liberty in the Western continent; it
spoke of seven years of fierce struggle
for nationality and freedom; the words it
spoke came from away back in '16 and
twenty-five years before that time, and
they were: Proclaim liberty throughout
all the world and TO all the nations
thereof" For this most eminent guest
was the "old Liberty bell"
Guarding the Old Bell at Night.
Last night il arrived. 1t had been on a
journey through three states, which was a
triumphal procession. AT every stopping
place the high and low, rich and poor had
turned out to see it. In our neighboring
state on the east an eX-president in
glowing eloquence had told its story to
10000 schoo! children; and when its train
pulled into the Union station here last
night there was great and cheering
crowd awaiting it. Guarding it on its
way west was special committee, one
member of which was Philadelphia's
mayor, and to meet and welcome it to the
western metropolis Mayor Harrison and a
council committee went to the state line.
The bell remained on its last night
guarded by the special detachment of po-
licemen which came along with it and an
additional special detachment of Chicago
police.

foot concluded the column.
The line of march was: On Adams street

Midway Plaisance. east to Jackson park.
As the parade debouched on Michigan ave.
