5000 Worth OF Cats In One Shipment for Mr..
John ~Haunmak

From the Leirfston (Me) Journal.
Perhaps the largest and most valuable shipment OF
cats which was ever made from Maine has been sent
out from the American Express office Of this city to
the well'known merchant Of Philadelphia. John
Wsnamaker. The sale was made by r. d. Nudd or
Waterrille.a and 1t ID stated that II amounted to 5000
In clean cash. as there were 100 tabbIes, and the most
beautiful ones 1t has ever been your reporters priv.
lego to gaze upon. There were black and whites,
tiger stripes. yellow and whites, the Angora white,
which had the pink eyes, the Jet black. and, in fact,
the blue and white, for thus alone can the maltese
OF brilliant color be described. The cats were all
finely feathercd. with feattc r dusterllke tails, which
should excite the admiration OF our city cousins. who
are said to pay from $40 to S25 for tho pets. which
would mako the retail price of the shipment at least
$1,000. The temporary home for the tabbies con.
sisted OF casset boxes divided in sections and openly
Grated upon tho top. The American Express Com.
pany's agents along the route will furnish lunches
and dr!nkablos. SO that this largo family will proba.

c%ontented when leaving here.

The Kingston Railroad Case.

The Court Of Appeals sticks to its orig.
inal decision in the Kingston Railroad
case, and has denied a motion for a re.
argument. At the same time the court
points out that the decision affects only
the right of one street railroad company
to compel another to allow it to use it's
tracks under the General Railroad act. and
does not involve the legality of that use
where it has been granted voluntarily.
The court rests it's decision upon section
81 of the Railroad act, which says: that
street surface railroads. or "~ertensions or
dnch thereof" shall not be built, cx.
tended or operated unless the consent in
writing of a majority of the AUDITING own.
ers, or that of the municipal authorities,
shall have been first obtained. Upon this
provision the court decides that without
having obtained the consent required. n
street railroad company cannot, under Sec
ton 1O2 of the act. compel another company
to grant 1t the use of it's tracks. What a
company can do when that use is v~oluntari-
ly granted, is left for future consideration

Imposing instead q heavy export duty on
the tobacco. The position Of Spain has been
that, instead OF a violation OF the treaty of
1913, guaranteeing certain trade privileges
even in case Of hostilities, the tobacco edIct
Is really like the prohibition Of exporting
cereals In a time of famine, or of cavalry
horses with a need Of them impending.
But IL seems to be the aim OF the Sa9asta
administration to build up the agricultural
Industries of Cuba, and also to give our
country as little reason rs possible for in.
terfering on the ground of it's injured com.
merce. Tho accumulated stock of Cuban
tobacco in this country at the time
Of the edict Of May 10 was n help to manu-.
facturers for some tim thereafter, but the
question is OF continued supplies. It would
be possible to retaliate for the prolonged
enforcement Of the edict by prohibiting the
importation Of cigars made In Cuba but
apart from that, the revocation of wEY.
LER's order and the resumption of the ex.
port trade in the best grades Of leaf tobacco
would show further concessions to the
United States, IL not greater control of
Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces.
Thus hope is felt by those interested in
this trade that before long tobacco will
come in freely; but the cigarmakers of
arc naturally against the revoca-
ton Of the edict, and something may de-
pend on the available supply.

any case. the moral effect both OF the origi-
nal and revised sentences will remain, and
1t will be weighed duly by a people long &C
customed to close and incessant criticism
of their alien rulers.
The article for which Mr.. KIsHALKAR and
the proprietor of the paper Of which he was
editor, MIR. HAMoLKAR, were sentenced
was merely in general approval of a mani
festo issued by the Canadian Republican
about eighteen months before,
ana reproached the people OF India for their
apathy in political and other matters affect
ing their material condition. A transla-
tion OF 1t appeared in HI SUN some two
months ago, and there was certainly moth
ing in 1t, to an American eye, to Justify
such sentences rs were passed by the SAHARA
Court before which the two gentlemen
named were tried.
In the case OF Mr.. GANGADHAR TILAK Of
Poona, the appeal that was made against
his sentence OF three years imprisonment
has not been successful. The Judgment of
the court by which he was condemned has
been confirmed, but efforts are to he
made to obtain n pardon. In the mean
time Mr.. TILAK is becoming a great
popular hero, and his sufferings in the
cause of the Indian people are made
the subject Of %eulogistic verse. His virtues
are extolled and he is recognized as aleader
In the national cause. Whether he is re-
leased soon or has to serve out his full
term, his influence among the Indian
people has been fully established. For this
reason, even IL he is pardoned, he will, on
coming out of prison, probably be sent out
OF the country during the pleasure of the
British Government.
There still remains another Indian edi.
tor, Mr.. KRIsHNARAI of Islampur, under
sentence for criticising too freely the
British administration of his country. If
only half the descriptions of the state Of
impoverishment to which the bulk of the
Indian people has been reduced under the
existing system be true, there seems to be
only too ample justification for the s~everest
criticism.
A good authority on Indian affairs says
that things in that country are going from
bad to worse, and fears that serious retribu-
tion may be coming upon England for her
failure to heed the many appeals for justice
made during the past twenty years.
