The report Of the experts who have examined
the Harlem River Driveway. AT the request OF
the Park Commissioners. deals largely with
technical matters and points out variety OF
defects in the work which will have to be RENE
died before the undertaking can he proceeded
with on rational basis. The defects are de-
clared to be due to haste and TO the lack OF
proper preparation at the inception OF the work
An astonishing omission was the failure to make
any borngs along the line Of the proposed crib
work. The Driveway in its present condition Is
a legacy from the Tammany Park Board. which,
il will be remembered was with great diflculty
anduccd to provide proper facilities for pubhc
endowment along the river. What the work
would have been if carried through under Tam
many auspices it is easy to imagine.

1t might presage the coming OF mighty

NO ALLIES,

The rise Of war rumor always
starts the gossips and the vendors of
fairy tales into new life They ex-
haust the field of probabilities and i'm
probabilities in canvassing the events
that are likely to happen in case OF
the rumors thai have connected them
selves with the disturbance of relations
between Spain and the United States
is that, in case of actual hostilities,
Spain would find herself backed by one
or more allies among the European
powers. We have no doubt that some,
perhaps several of those powers would
extend to her their ardent sympathy.
Americans have little idea how deep
seated is the hatred Of republics and
republican institutions in countries
still attached to the monarchical sys-
tenn. They see in every extension of
republican rule, and in every triumph
of republican principles, a new men
ace of their surely coming doom. All
of them realize in their hearts that re-
publican government; in form or in
fact is the destiny of all peoples
that are fitted to be free. Whatever
can postpone it, weaken its influence,
or detract from it's standing, is, on gen.
eral principles. a welcome thing to
them.
But no European power is anxious
for the hostility of the United States.
The balance of power in Europe Is now
so delicately adjusted, and so sensitive
to the slightest variatiUa, that each
nation knows well how entirely its own
safety depends on keeping it's skirts
them hate and despise the Turk. Not
one of them dares to move against
him; not because they fear the Turk
but because they feel that the moment
one nation becomes embroiled. the 9TH
ers will take advantage of it's necessi-
ties to make demands or encroach-
ments upon it. England, which is the
most powerful of them all, probably,
has SHOWH IUdI SIle ueSlTcS HO WttT Will
the United States. That any other
power, with no grievance and no cause
of hard feeling against us, should step
into the ring to help Spain out Of the
difficulty Of her own making, is the
last improbability that could be
thought of. A number of the European
newspapers, indeed, recognize that
Spain has forfeited her claim to Cuba
by her policy of tyrannical and cruel
misgovernment. They advise her to
make the necessary concessions as
gracefully as possible. Even those who
feel otherwise. and who would be de-
lighted to see the United States hum
bled. will not jeopardize their own
safety to accomplish it. Whatever else
may happen, Spain, in the event of car
rying her difference with the United
States to the point of actual war, would
find herself without an ally in Europe

PETER A PROPHET.
Predicts the Disruption of the Two
Old Parties.

TOPEKA, Kan, March g. - United
States Senator PETER arrived from
Washington today, and will spend a
few days looking after personal affairs
here. In an interview Senator Peffer
expressed the belief that the end Of
the old parties as constituted at pres
ent Is at hand. He thinks they will
split on silver IN their national con-
ventions this year, and that, while the
gold standard element Of the Demo-
cratic party may preserve the party
existence by nominating candidates,
it will cut little figure in the Novem-
Der elections, and will not carry a sin
gle state North or South. He looks
for the gold standard element to cap
ture the national Republican conven-
ton. Whether it will elect its ticket
will depend upon the action of the sill
yer Republicans eandf Democrats. If
they drop out Of sight and remain pas
sive, 1t will be auRepublican year, but
should they openly seeede, and join the
silver conference at st. Louis in July,
a new party will be organized under
a name acceptable toolall, composed Of
all elements Of opposition, and 1nclud-
ing the Peoples party.
The PopuIists, he says, will be will
ing to give up what are popularity
termed their 'isms" and their name,
and otherwise change the phraseology
of the Omaha platform so as to make
it palatable to all who are opposed to
the gold standard.

If you will refer me to some way of getting

much land can one take UP as a homestead

THE WORLDS CURRENCIEs.

The Sound Currency committee Of the
New York Reform club lays the stu
dents Of the financial question under
obligations again in the publication of
their latest issue, which is devoted to a
succinct statement of the worlds cur
rencies. The system Of every country

vanced In civilization to have one Is
briefly described and it's vital facts
given. The data are gathered for the
greater part from official publications

Turkey, Australia, Canada, Cuba, San
and Hayti. Those countries having
silver as their medium of exchange
are India, China, Japan, Straits Set
Elements, Persia. Mexico, Central Am
erica, Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador
Those countries where paper Is the
medium Of exchange, with the gold
value of their paper indicated by the
figures following each, are Italy 92,
Greece co. Austria-Hungary 80, Russia

COMPELLED TO ASSIGN.
Central Trust and Savings Bank, of
Ch1caEO. FaiIs.

CHICAGO, March 3.-The Central Trust
and Savings bank at No. 119 La Sale street
failed today. The Chicago Title and Trust
company was appointed assignee, and before
the close of banking hours had control of all
the assets. The highest figure put upon the
Liabilities by the officials Of the bank is
Sl25, 0OO, and 1t is said that $50, 900 of this
Will be disputed. The assets are said to be
$3.50, 900 or 100000, taking into consideration
the value of the building in which the bank
Is located. and 1t is said that all the de-
positors will be paid in full.
Three months ago bill was filed in the
superior court by dissatisfied stockholders
asking for the appointment of receiver,
and the allegation was then made that the
bank was insolvent. From that time deposi-
tors began to withdraw their accounts and
the bank paid out money as it was demand
ed. 1t was stated today that in three months
10 per cent of the deposits were withdrawn
until the amount due depositors was said to
be from $4,000 to 100000. For some time
the bank has been conducting a losing busi-
ness, but the immediate cause of the failure
was the refusal of the Atlas National bank
to make clearances for the Central Trust
bank. Early this morning the Atlas sent a
notice to w. A. Paulsen. the president Of
the Central Trust and Savings bank, that
his bank had not sufficient funds to make
the clearances of the day, and the clearances
would not be made. All the deposits made
within the last two days have been kept in
a special fund, and will be returned to de-
poSitors.

LIFE IN MOROCCO.
E. Burton Holmes Entertains a
Large Audience

II. Burton Holmes delivered the first
or a series of six lectures on Japan and
the Barbary states to a large and fash
lonable audience at the Peoples church
last night. The lectures are the result
or recent Journeys made by Mr.. Holmes
to the far East and to Northern Africa.
They represent eleven months of travel.
The lectures are made more interesting
by colored Illustrations which repro
duce the natural attractions Of distant
countries and the streets and struc-
lures of unfamiliar cities, as well as tho
life of the people.
The lecture last night was on Moroc-
co. Mr.. Holmes took his audience from
Melllla to the city of Fee, whose streets
have seldom been profaned by the feet
OF unbelievers. 1t is a journey very
seldom undertaken by Americans, or by
foreigners of any kind. 1t was neces-
sary to obtain the permission of the
moorish government, and this had, a
moorish soldier in uniform was ap-
pointed by the authorities at Tangier to
accompany the caravan in order to
protect 1t from the onslaught of ma
rauders or ill-meaning natives. 1t re-
quired eleven days travel across a
roadless and trackless country. At
night the party camped near Arabian
villages. A number of Arabian Villag-
ers would be hired to set around the
CetHip anu SudrO II, service Wnlcn
they very gladly performed, as, should
the camp be robbed, the people would
be responsible to the government for
the loss, which would in turn make rep
aration to the tourists. At Tangier the
party purchased all their supplies and
employed the servants and pack mules
necessary for the trip. Abderhaman
Salama, the cook who accompanied
them, was also hired here, at a salary
Of 80 cents a day.
What is known as the great feast was wit
messed at Algiers. Beggars were numerous.
and it was not an uncommon thing to see
beggars that were insane. Curious enough,
the insane beggars were most successful It
is believed by the natives that If the mind of
man does not inhabit his body, it must be
that that mind Is such holy one that their
God retained 1t in Paradise to enjoy its COM
pany, and great respect is therefore given to
an insane person.
At night the servants pitched their tents
and cared for the beasts of burden. One pict-
ure showed the interior of the main tent
which served as the home for many weeks
1t contained chairs mattresses and bedding

who should attempt to enforce the
stockholders liability against the share
holders Of the Central Pacific road,
might, it is broadly limited, recover
their claims; because, in that case,
they would not rely upon an act of
congress that had carefully excluded
such liability. They would bring suit
on the basis of the liability of a state
corporation under the constitution and
laws of the state, and no prior contract,
or relief from the liability by the oper-
alton Of higher law, could be plead
against them.
1t appears, therefore, that the stock
holders of the Central Pacific are far
from being released from future claims
by this decision of the court. We hope
that this may be found true, because
the time has arrived when stock
holders liability, which is en-
forcible against individuals who
have put their money into small
concerns that went to the wall, should
now be applied with equal rigor to the
holders of the stock of railroad corpo-
rations and commercial trusts. If the
federal government alone is excluded
from this. remedy, the responsibility
rests with those representatives of the
people who did in the past, while mem

members of congress are SO ready to

ants of the public purse.
