RE1fABlLTTAINGA GREAT SYSTEAI
Some idea OF the great cost of rchabl-
litating and building UP large rail-
road system may be gathered from q
statement Just prepared by the receivers
Of The Baltimore and Ohio railroad of
expenditures made for Improvement
during the first year of the receivership
This statement shows that Il total OF
almost $7,000,000 has been spent for loco
motives, passenger and freight equip
ment. extraordinary repairs to equip
nent. and expenditures made by the en-
sineering department in the way of i'm
proVcments TO the maintenance OF way
structures, terminals and the construc-
ton of new alignmcnts and miscel-
laneous improvements. These eXpendi-
lures were from March 1, 1896, TO Feb
ruary l. 1897.
Betterments to locomotives amount to
$4,000; new equipment. including new
Ginning cars, other passenger cars and
betterments amounts to $4,000: the new
freight cars built by The road and re-
pairs to those already in service amount
to 1000 the total being over $3.50, 600
The five Thousand new freight cars and
seVenty-tive locomotives which We're
added to the equipment last summer
cost about s3,So0,000. The extraordinary
repairs to locomotives. passenger and
freight equipment aggregate $l,3iS, 900.
The total expenditure on account OF the
motive department comes nearly up 10
$1,000, 900.

say the least. Those who are inclined
to view this election in New York city
as being of national significance are
away off in their reckoning. New York
is a cosmopolitan city. The inhabi-
tants Of London are nearly all English;
the people of Berlin are Germans solid
ly; the people of Paris, except for a
small fraction, are French. New York
has only about 20 per cent Of Ameri-
cans-that is, American born inhabi-
tants. The rest are from Europe and
ali parts Of the world, and they retain
the habits, language and char
acteristics Of their native countries.
The election issue in New York has
no national Significance, but. with an
alarming falling off of the Republican
vote in the state, with heavy losses in
New Jersey, Ohio and other states, the
Republican party is confronted with
the incontrovertible truth that Bryan
ism and bimetallism are not dead It
warns them that they must take steps
at once, and emphatically, to settle this
currency question beyond any hope of
reopening It,"

the British colonies. The British
colonies, which secured reciprocity
treaties under the Mckinley law, were:
Barbados, Guiana, Jamaica. Leeward
Islands, Trinidad and Windward Is
lands. The treaties were negotiated be-
tween Sir Julian Pauncefote and Mr..
Blaine on Feb. l, 1892, and he and
President Harrison put them into ef-
feet the same day by proclamation. In
that case the British government acted
for the colonies, but subsequently each
colony passed a law carrying the re-
ciprocity arrangement into effect. The
same procedure would be observed In
the present case. No reciprocity treat
les were made for the British posses
sions OF the Bahamas, Bermuda or
British Honduras, as it was found that
there were no articles on which recipro-
cal exchange could be made. The ag-
gregate trade of these British colonies
is very great, exceeding that of some
Of the first-class nations. When the
last treaties were made the exports
Of the colonies were $3S,000,000 annual

shipments from the United States to-
the colonies, was mainly breadstuffs,

and cotton.
1t is learned at the state department
that Sir Julian Pauncefote himself has
not yet communicated with the depart
ment respecting the drawing Of new
set of reciprocity treaties between the
United States and the British West In

vices to the effect that he comes

is also favorably considering the ques-

reciprocity for encouraging commercial
relations with Canada 1t is known
that Mr.. Kasson, who has been spe-
cially charged with the arrangement of
reciprocity plans under the new tariff
act, is friendly to such course Of ac-
ton. The last reciprocity treaty which
governed the relations of the two
countries was terminated by act Of
congress on the assumption that the
benefits were not equally divided be-
tween them, and that Canada had the
advantage.

CHICAGO, Nov. 8.-Private Charles
Hammond, who was dragged by ms
heels before a summary court-mart1al
at Fort Sheridan four weeks ago on
the orders Of Capt. Lowering to answer
a charge of desertion, will serve put
half the sentence imposed on him by
the court martial. Hammond was sen,

go to prison for year at hard labor
and to forfeit all pay for this period.
In addition the verdict provided lot
the dishonorable discharge OF the PRIV
ate. :,
Gen. Brooke, however, has reviewed
the verdict, critisized it and cut down
the punishment. AS mitigated by Gen.
Brooke the sentence compels ham
mond to serve in prison only six
months. His pay is reduced by $40 a
month and there is no provision for
dishonorable discharge, that being
deemed too severe by the commander.
In his view Of the case, the general
said the sentence was excessive. By
this action the stigma Of dishonorable
discharge will not attach to Private
Hammond, and after he has served six
months, he will be restored to his for
mer position in the army.

AFTER RECIPROCITY

LONDON, Nov. 3.-The British am
bassador to the United States, Sir
Julian Pauncefote, has been instructed
to ascertain the views of the govern
ment of the United States in regard to
a reciprocity treaty with the West In
dies. 1t has been known here for some
time that the West Indian possession
of Great Britain were urging the home
government to secure them all the
reciprocity advantages possible under
the Dingley act. The initiative was
taken by British Guiana, where the
high court or colonial Legislature unan-
imously adopted a resolution request
ing the authorities at London to in
struct the British ambassador at
Washington to secure all the advan-
tages offered other countries in the
line of reciprocity.
The debate in the high court brought
out the statement that the sugar in
dustry of the colony, which is the
chief one, was dependent to large ex-
tent on the American market, the
shipments to- the United States ex-
ceeding those to all other countries
COHpllleQ. 1T was also stated, curing
the debate, that the Dingley act would
permit a reciprocity arrangement un-
der which British Guiana could con-
tinue her shipments of sugar to this
country. Without the reciprocity ar
rangements, it was stated in the de-
bate, South America sugar produc-
ton countries would secure control of
the American market and the industry
Of British Guiana would be crippled,
if not destroyed. Before the debate
closed the government secretary an
nounced that Sir Augustus Hemming,
the governor general of the colony,
had already called the attention Of the
London authorities to the subject. In
view Of the resolution, however. the
governor general supplemented his pre-
vious action by notifying the foreign
office of the action of the colonial leg
islature. 1t was understood that the
other British American colonies would
take a similar action. The instructions
now issued to Sir Julian Pauncefote
are in response to those appeals from
