The last published monthly earnings
of the Mexican Central railway showed
81, 200, 900 increase in earnings, or the
largest increase of any railroad in
North America, as compared with the
corresponding month of the previous
year.
1t is the intention of the Santa Fe
company to equip all locomotives in
the passenger service with electric
headlights. Sometime ago, a similar
light was placed on the 427, running
between Topeka and ST. Joseph, and
so satisfactory has been the test that
all night engines will be equipped in a
like manner as speedily possible.
The work of stringing wire for the
new signal block system, to be es-
tablished on lis miles of Santa Fe
track, is now in progress, and by the
middle of next week the new system
will be in working order between
Holiday and Emporia, over the "cut
Off" or Emporia branch. By the fret
of September, the new system will be
working over the entire Us miles of
track between Holiday and Newton.

Surplus Under Dingley Tariff.

Officials of the treasury department
are taking a very optimistic view of
the operation of the Dingley tariff law.
They are inclined now to believe that,
despite the enormous importatiops OF
all kinds of goods during the last three
months of the Wilson law, the first
year of the Dingley law will result in a
com Portable surplus.
Their encouragement results from
the operation of the new law during
The past two weeks. They are conf
dent that the law will yield a larger
income during its first year than was
thought possible by its most earnest
advocates.
Facts have already been brought to
light which indicate beyond ooubt thu It
the government lost a much greater
amount through differentiation frauds
under the Wilson law than was es-
mated by those who were best in
formed upon the operation of that law.
No doubt now exists that these frauds
were committed on tremendous scale:
but by the Dingley laws substitution
of specific for ad valOrem duties the
opportunities for stealing the govern
nent's revenue by dishonest importers
have been practically DESTROYED.

Spanish COnscripts at Tampa.

Three Spaniards from Havana were
arrested at Tampa on suspicion of hav-
ing evaded quarantine regulations. In
an interview they told the following
story:
"Our uames are Joaquin Alamo Gar
cia, Francisco DelarrOsa Moreno. and
Angel Baca Garrido. We were con-
scripted into the Spanish army one
year ago in the Province of La Parm q,
Spain, and were sent to Cuba We
were stationed in aud around Havana.
The treatment we received from the
officers was so brutal, the food so bad
aud pay so small (2!c per day., that we
finally ran away. We got aboard a
fishing smack and were landed at
Charlotte Harbor on July %. We
walked from there to Arcadia, where
we were ARE sted, ard sent back to the
quarautir station at BOca Grande,
where we were detained and fumigat-
I'd. We were then released, and made
our way partly by boat and partly
afoot to Tampa, where we were again
arrested, we know not why"
The men seem to be intelligent, and
are evidently a respectable class of
citizens. They are determined on one
point, and that is that they are not go
ing back to the Spanish army, if they
can help it. Two of them are wire
makers and the other is florist.
They were destitute when arrested,
and a collection was made up n them
They said the army was in mutiuOus
condition on account of i'll treatment
by officers and the poor food furnished.
They stated that in one regiment near
Havana six officers had been "mys-
teriously killed." supposedly by SOL
diers whom they had i'll used.
