MEETING OF PRESIDENTS
OFFICIALS OF THE PROPRIETARY
LINES HAVE A CONFERENCE.
The Business Outlook Dismal, Say
Pennsylvania OficiaIs-New ALI
ances Formed by the Big Four.

The presidents and vice presidents of the
proprietary lines of the Union Railway
Company held a meeting in the office of
Secretary jackson yesterday, the five pro-
prietary lines being represented, V. 7. Ma
lott, receiver, representing the Vandalia;
James McCrea, first vice president of the
Pennsylvania, acted as chairman. The Big
Four lines We're represented by e. +. Os-
born, vice president. This was the first
meeting at which all lines were represented
since 1894, and there was very much routine
business TO consider. The meeting was a
very harmonious one, and many questions
which had been pending for some time We're
satisfactorily adjusted. 1t was expected to
make a change in the officers of the COM
pany, at least in its president, but by
general desire on the part of the lines in
terested Mr.. McCrea consented to continue
as president another year. The detail work
of managing the property is with the board
of managers of all lines centering here, who
meet monthly, the leasing lines all having
voice in its management, consequently
only questions relating to the ownership
We're considered. Most of those brought up
related to finances and the approval of the
action of the board of managers of the
Union Railway Company, and the presi-
dents expressed themselves as pleased with
the manner the affairs of the company
nave been conducted. The property has
been managed economically and friendly re-
IatlonS maintained between all lines inter-
ested, and the company is now more free
from pending litigation than at any time
In many years The condition of the sta
ton, the Union tracks and Belt road was
all that could be expected with the rigid
economies now being enforced.

Purdue University yesterday closed con-
tract with the Schenectady locomotive
works for new locomotive to be used in
its engineering laboratory, in connection
with courses in railway engineering. The
new locomotive will carry a steam pres
sure of 250 pounds and will have cylinders
so arranged that it may be used as a sim
pie or compound. The cylinders and the
saddle will be made up of different castings,
and the centers will be so chosen as to al
low the use of cylinders up to 30 inches
in diameter. Several cylinders will be pro-
Vlded and these, with a suitable series of
bushlngs, Will allow for different cylinder
ratios IN compound work. The whole ma
chine VIII thus afford facilities for deal
ing with conditions quite beyond the linn
It's OF present practice. From its place in
the laboratory the old locomotive, hereafter
to be known as Schenectady No. l." and
which, in the course of its six years So
Journ in the laboratory, has been run an
amount equivalent to 10000 miles and has
served in an experimental study of many
important problems connected with loco
motive design, will pass into active service
at the head of trains on the road while
the new engine, Schenectady No. % will
take its place upon the testing plant BY
the terms Of the contract the present en-
CINE will be delivered to the Schenectady
locomotive works within the present month,
and the new engine will be delivered early
the fall.

1t is reported at Lima, o.. that the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Company is
making AN effort to purchase the Columbus,
Lima & Milwaukee road which comprises
the roadbed between Lima and Defiance
and southwark as far as Bellefontaine. The
road is graded and bridged and would have
been completed several years ago had it
not been for the failure of the Lima Ma
tional Bank, of which the promoter, B. G.
Faurot, was the heaviest stakeholder When
the Lima Northern road was talked of an
effort was made to purchase the property
of the c., L. 81 Nj. road, but without sue
cess, and proceedings were begun in the
United States Court to get control of the
road, but that also failed, SO another line
was taken up and built. The Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton Company is DESTROYS
of getting a line through the northwestern
part of Ohio and up through Michigan,
now that it's line is paralleled by the Lima
Northern road, which will be extended to
the Lake Michigan coast, and the purchase
of the c.. l.. q NJ. would give it the de-
sired outlet. officials of the company have
been looking Up the matter the past week,
and developments are expected soon.

Tho Armor Plant.

Tho Board that is inquiring into the cost
Of establishing q Government ship-armor
factory seems to lave had more offers Of
sites than 1t wants. Even since It's an
nouncement that this matter does not come
within its province it has had such offers
pressed on 1t. This, however, might have
been expected. for, whether the question Is
that Of establishing a fort, a factory, or a
navy yard, the local advantages of trade
hoped for usually make the competition for
securing 1t a hot one In the present in
stance the competitors are anxious to get
their claims on file.
We may assume that, since the Govern
ment can either use it's own land or accept
such as is offered to 1t gratis, the item Of
the cost Of the site can be eliminated from
the armor plant problem. Blu there are
signs that the Board is finding that, even
with this expense removed, the sum Of
81, 800 ZOO, which Secretary HERBERT's re.
searches indicated as about enough for the
plant. is too small an estimate. We should
not be surprised If this estimate should go
as high as So, 800, 900. The present armor
plants cost much more, being erected not
only when building was much dearer than
now, but when there was less experience az
to what was needed, and with the land an
additional expense.
Congress was wise in providing that
these inquiries should be made. Perhaps
after getting from the Board all the facts re-
quired, and considering the annual inter
est on the cost of the plant, the annual
charge for maintenance, the cost per ton Of
producing armor, and the length Of time
that the proposed factory Is likely to be in
use before our building Of armorclads is
completed, it may be ready to open nego-
t~iations again with private manufacturers.
Other things being equal, private manu-
facture is the best policy; and in the in
terval before action on the report Of the
Board, there will be time for reflection.
which may lead to an agreement on the
price Of armor.

Texas, which has an antitrust law from

ness, and his angry eyes glare at the Money
Devil and tho Devil Fish. He says that tho most

something to injure the Governor OF Texas and
amputatc the currency. What Is to be done
with themi The Attorney-General of Texas has
shown how to stop trusts. Pass penal enact
ments against them. he says. Pass penal enact
ments against the money kings, then. Forbid
them to breathe. But there are so many Of
them: the savings bank depositors. the holders
Of life insurance policies. the investors In build

men. In fact. everybody who saves a cont is q
miniature money king and q part Of the money

BIO as penal as you can. The only safe way is to
put tho money kings and kinglets to death.
Even then you can't be absolutely secure. There

Tho Fleet to Be Kept Ready.

Although the first series of the exercises
Of Admiral SroARD's squadron, off Cape
Charles, has come to an end, its season of
evolstions has really little moro than
opened.
It's return to the base at Hampton Roads
may be followed by q resort Of q part Of
the vessels to New York harbor. 80 that
docking, repairing, or other work may go
on, and, indeed, the Texas yesterday ar
rived at Tompkinsville. But thereafter
will como more operations, and the fleet
will stay together, it is said, all winter.
While perfection In drill is the primary
reason announced for keeping actively at
work the powerful armor-clads Indiana,
Massachusetts,, Iowa, Maine, Texas, Brook
Ign, New York and Puritan, yet we may
surmise that the need is also recognized of
having the nav ready to support our diplo-
macy, and to act quickly should our foreign
relations demand it.
We are perhaps nearing a critical moment
In our relations with Spain, and 1t is we'll
noteworthy that the October programme
for our torpedo ~flotilla, under Lieutenant
Commander KIMBALL, includes its entrance
into the Gulf of Mexico, and its remaining
there for some time, with a view Of ascend
ing the Mississippi River in 1898.
Admiral SIcARD's fleet will undoubtedly
keep away from Cuban waters, but it will
be where 1t can reach them very quickly, il
required, meanwhile guarding our coasts.

own, and undoubtedly they would thus APP
peal to the strongest conviction and most
ardent sentiment In the Tammany ranks.
1t is not inconceivable. It may even be said
to be probable. that, in spite Of their pecu-
MARY poverty, they could mako q demon
s~tration more powerful than that Of Tam
many itself, with it's policy Of evasion.
They would stir up the zeal in their behalf
which now burns, almost with the fire Of
fanaticism, in the Democratic party in the
Greater New York and everywhere else In
the Union.
Meantime the Republicans will be max
ing a campaign to which there can be no
logical resistance except from square Bry-
anism. They will oppose the st. Louis
platform to the Chicago platform, and It
is not possible that Organism will be left
in the campaign without sturdy and organ
lied defenders. 1t must be defended or the
cause which gives to Democracy its whole
aggressive force and fire Of passion will be
abandoned n deserted by Its appointed
champions in this ancient stronghold Of
Democracy.
No art of political strategy can change
the inevitable and necessary issue of the
coming campaign, with the Republican
party on the one side and the Organized
Democratic party on the other.

Tho Botanical Garden.

II out Of the indefensible situation into
which the Botanical Garden project has
been brought by the Botanical Society and
. subservient Park Board, II should be put
upon solid ground by the Board Of Esti-
mate and Apportionment, that body Will
perform a memorable service.
Under the law the plans under which the
most beautiful part of Bronx Park Is to be
transformed into a botanical garden were
to be made by the Park Board, representing
the public, and approved by the society. As
a matter Of fact, they have been made by the
society and the approval Of the Park Board
has been given to them against the protest
Of the experts chosen to report upon them
in the city's behalf. II the Park Board
had made the plans, the burden of
changing them would have been cast upon
the society. But since the plans were
made by tho society the burden of show
ing their faults was put upon h city,
where the law intended 1t should not
be. The change from the way intend
ed to the way adopted has produced,
as it was bound to produce, q result very
different from what should be.
To protect the public interest properly
the entire development Of the scheme up to
date should be wiped out, and it should be
begun again.

No Ground for Indemnity.

Tho strange notion seems to prevail in
some quarters that Austria will demand
damages of our Government for the killing
of the Hungarian miners in the Hazleton
riot. 1t is further said that this nation
itself has admitted the principle Of liabil-
ity in the case of Italian subjects in the
New Orleans riots and in that Of Chinese
at various points.
A moments thought will show that there
is no parallel whatever in the W classes
of cases. The Italians and Chinese were
the victims of mob violence, whereas the
Hungarians at Hazleton were themselves
the mob. and those who killed them were
not rioters, but officers of the law, who
were unfolding and defending the law.
Most clearly, therefore. the former. in
stances of loss of life during riots furnish
no precedent whatever for indemnity in
this case. Austria may request an official
statement of the facts from our Gov
eminent, but neither she nor any other
country is likely to go on record as asking
damages for the acts of sworn officers Of
justice in endeavoring to maintain order
and to ~disperse unlawful assemblages.
The real case in which Austria might
have put in n claim, would have been that
Of a neglect of their duty by officers of the
law at Hazleton, which had resulted in the
killing of her innocent subjects by a mob
which the Government should have con.
trolled. But she recognizes that her sub
jects here are bound to obey our laws.

The Rabbits OF Broome.

There is a new " local issue" in Broome-
the rabbit issue, so called. Under the game
law of this State, black and gray squirrels,
hares and rabbits are not to be killed or
possessed after same ave been killed, except
between Oct. Is and Feb. 10. The use of
ferrets in the hunting of rabbits Is pro.
hibited. From the provisions of the
game law, SO far as they relate to the kill.
ing of hares and rabbits, three counties, On
ondaga, Wayne and Oswego, are exempted.
In Queens, Suffolk and Kings the closed
season for squirrels, hares and rabbits Is
from Jan. l to Nov. 1. Broome county Is
not one of the counties exempted from the
operations OF what may, without inaccu-
racy, be called 1.-THE rabbit law"
AS a result, perhaps. or one of the results
OF his discrimination, 1t appears that
swarms of rabbits are eating up the cab
bage crops of Broome county and are doing
thousands of dollars worth of damage.
One farmer is reported as saying: al have
had two acres of cabbage entirely eaten I'D
by these pests, n az the game laws pre-
vent my killing them, what am l to dor
The threatened destruction of tho cabbage
farms OF Broome county is not to be lightly
regarded. and the helplessness of the law
abiding farmers Of that region In their scru-
pulous adhesion to the provisions of the
game laws. oppressive In their operation to
Broome, entltle them certainly to the SYM
pathetic commiseration of the cabbage
farmers in other places. There are, how
ever. exceptions to all rules, and there ia
one Broome county farmer, 1t appears, a
votary OF lawlessness, who put the game
laws at defiance with the result plctur.
esquely described In the words following;
81 Just sQuirted a certain kind OF LIQUID over n lot
OF my cabbage plants and In the morning I counted
22S rabbits sitting on their launches dead. They had
all had a piece OF cabbage clutched In their paws. but
they could not eat"
The plan OF this farmer seemed to pre.
suppose a general evasion of the game laws
"a sort OF local option In rabbit destruc-
ton not altogether unlike the anti. Raines
law suggestion OF local option In disregard
OF the provisions of the excise laws of the
State. This farmer and those who share
his views are in favor of disregardine the
game laws THAT nobody believes in" and
the effective public sentiment "behind the
farmer and his squirt-gun" is the unity.
ing force on which he depends for the de-
struction of the rabbits.
Meanwhile, other farmers I'm Brooma
have engaged in . political movement de-
