Affairs of the vandalia System Placed In
Control of the Court.
indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 14.-Judge
Woods, of the United States circuit
court, on Friday evening appointed re-
ceiver for. the Terre Haute & Indian
apolis Railway company, naming as re-
ceiver Volney T. Malott. president of
the Indiana national bank. The receiv-
er was appointed upon the suit OF Mark
T. Cox, james A. Blair and James W..
Paul, Jr., against the company. and the
ground for the receivership was the adj
mission of the company in court that it
is insolvent. The Vandalia has been
known as one of the most prosperous
railroads of the country, and until n
year ago, when it passed into the con-
trolof the Pennsylvania company, (which
purchased the majority of its stock, it
met it's dividends and all charges with
the utmost promptness. During the
hearing Friday Judge Woods remarked
in court upon the peculiar fact that all
the attorneys seemed to desire re-
ceiver. and he did not make up his mind
10 appoint one until in the evening
Some of the parties interested in Sc
curities of the system who were not
made parties in interest are declaring
that the suit is a collusive one for the
purpose of freezing them out and sell
ing the system to the Pennsylvania at e
low figure.

WARS

Exchange.
At every period in the history OF the
Improvement in the enginery OF war there
have been armies OF philosophers and
peace advocates to urge that the time
has at last arrived when war has be-
come impossible.
The discovery OF gunpowder 1t was
believed, would make such havoc amcng
soldiers that they would soon be practi-
cally annihilated, and so war would al
together become an event OF the past.
But the greatest wars OF the worlds
history have been fought since that dis
coVery.
When breech-loading rifles came into
use peace philosophers were unit in
the conclusion that Il VAS time to beat
sw crds into plowshares and spears into
pruning hooks but the hrescn-loader Is
an old-fashioned weapon now, compared
with the Mauser ritlls. the improved
rapld-nre gun used by the Spanish troops
In Cuba.
According TO the latest report from the
lighting that went on around Gardenas,
the Spaniards fired at least 1000 shots
for every insurgent reported killed, and
II Is said that this ratio of AIause- gun
shots TO mortality viii hold good
throughout the history OF the Cuban war.
The Gatling and the Maxim guns that
were promised TO be anuIhilators have
been In use for period running through
several years. and still the war goes on.

This material was requested by General
Maoeo. who proposes using the material
for blowing up bridges and locomotives
on the railroad between Havana. Ma

The failure OF large expeditions TO sue
coed In keeping out Of the hands OF
United States authorities has caused the
Cuban Junta 10 adopt the method OF dis
patching their cargoes from Southern
ports. Henceforth small expeditions will
be dispatched to Cuba as fast as possible.
The vessels only carry a sufficient num-
Der OF men 10 handle the gCols when

The junta is very well satisfied with
