SUFFERING. IN QUARANTINE.
Condition of Steerage Passengers De-
tained at Chester, Pm.

A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
North American from Chester, Pa, says
that the $50 steerage passengers of the
steamer Southwark, which was recently
detained off that city on account of the
death of a passenger from smallpox, are
confined at the quarantine station there
in the most absolute filth and privation.
In an interview yesterday one of the pris-
oners said that a petition complaining of
the food was signed by 80 of them, but
the officials in charge suppressed it. 1t is
declared that the food is not fit to serve
to dogs. To receive 1t the prisoners are
compelled to stand la line in the open air.
One man, who has money, sent out and
bought ST worth of clean food for the
mothers with small children. but the goods
were confiscated because they had not
come through the managers. A policeman
on duty at the station said he would re-
sign because he could not see little chill
dren starve to death.
The entire camp is In the filthiest condi-
ton possible, and 1T is asserted that no
soap. water or towels have been provided
since the landing.
Many disgusting details are related and
the people of the city, fearing disease, will
lay the matter before the Chester board of
health and demand immediate action.
The cabin passengers were allowed to
pass I'D the river. and this distinction Is
complained of by the prisoners. A number
of Phiadelphidns, who have wives and
children among the colony, have been
driven away upon attempting to see them.

PEACE IN BRAZIL.
No Indication Of a Revolt fn the
Republic.

DR.. l.. A. Tonaer. late surgeon OF the Bra
lillian cruiser Nictheroy, arrived yesterday
at New York from Rio Janeiro.. The doctor
stated that he was present at the Inaugural
ton OF President Moraes, and was guest
at reception given by the president the
same evening. He describes him as being
tall, spare man OF dignifed and serious
expression, and of broad and liberal views.
He has every reason to believe that his ad-
ministration will be peaceful and pros
porous.
There appears to be no indication of q
revolt. The navy is in great measure
hostile to the army, and no insurrection
can possibly succeed in Brazil without the
concerted action of both the army and
navy. The president is quite popular with
the whole people He has already granted
amnesty to nearly ALI participants In the
late rebellion, excepting Admirals Mello
and Da Cana. Mello is still reported to be
at Montevideo. The editors OF the prin-
cipal Rio newspapers have been pardoped
and have returned to the capital
The sanitary condition OF the city rs ex-
ing reported. The reported outbreak of
cholera or cholerine took place at a small
town about two hours ride by FAIL from
Rio Janeiro. The sanitary authorities took
prompt measures to stop the spread of the
disease. The town was Quarantined and
communication cut Off with Sac Pa,rfo and
other adjacent towns. Some twenty cases
or the disease were reported, of which
three were fatal. All the rest recovered.
including a Chinese immigrant, who was
lection from the south.
The iron-clad AQuidaban, which had been
temporarily repaired at Rio, had sailed for
Bahia, where she was expecting orders to
proceed to Toulon, France for repairs
The Nictheroy was laid up in the navy
yard at Rio Janeiro.

RAILROAD BUILDING IN 1894.
A steady Decline for Six Years I'm the
Number of Miles Constructed.

Number oil Miles constructed.
The figures Of railroad building for 1894
are at hand and, according to the New
York Sum- the total is less than 1900,
against 7,421 in 1889, 6,5I0 in 1890. 1889 in
1891, 4,1S7 in 1892, and 2,635 In 1893. In
fact, for the last six years there has been
steady and marked decline each year
in the amount of railroad building in the
United States, not only with reference to
the total mileage, but also compared with
the preceding year.
At the head of the states and territories
i'm respect to railroad building this year
is Arizona, followed in the order named
by Illinois. Pennsylvania, Michigan and
Maine. New York has a total of only forty
miles, while Maine has a years record of
Ill. which is exceptionally high for state
with a total railroad mileage of only /, 100
miles. The Maine woods, however, are yet
to be developed and the Arizona flatlands
are though for different reason, still a
fair field for prCspectors and civil en-
gineerS.
III the older states of the Union railroad
building is practically at a standstill New
York's slender record of forty miles being
matched by four miles in Massachusetts,
seven miles in New Hampshire, five miles
in Virginia. three miles in North Caro-
lima and three miles in Kansas, state
which used to be the most inviting field
for railroad builders and has now a mile
age of nine thousand miles.
The United tates lead the world in re-
spect to railroads, having $1,000 more miles
of track than all the countries of Europe
combined. but at the present rate of
pre- gress the United States may not he able
to hold it's lead. One reason for the rela-
tive falling off of road building in the
United States is found in the trolley lines

struction Of the bridge will easily pay for
the entire cost of the structure. So, in fact,
Congress is now asked simply to advance
the money required to build the bridge,
since it may reimburse itself from the add
ed value which will be given to a portion
of the Arlington tract, for which portion
today the government has, confessedly, no
need.
Then why should the construction Of this
bridge be further delayed?
Its cost, as pointed out, need be only a
present draft upon the governments ex-
chequer, to be repaid within two years at
farthest, If Congress so elects. The most
vigilant and relentless watchdog of the
treasury should not object to the appro-
priation and expenditure.
Let us have the Memorial bridge at this
session Of Congress.
