The president and the secretary of
war had delicate task in selecting
1876 men out of 1000 applicants for
appointment as second lieutenants in
the regular army under an act of
Congress providing for changes in the
form OF battalion organization. The
selections indicate that the task was
performed with rare discrimination.
Eighty-nine of the men designated
are college graduates, representing
sixty-seven different institutions in
which military instruction is part of
the curriculum; thirteen are enlisted
men in the United States army, and
che others are serving in various ca.
psoities in the volunteer service. The

The export trade of the Congo state
is growing splendidly. In 1886 it was
1854. 900. In 1889 it was 1863, 900.
In 1884 it was 81, 1852, 600, and in 1897
it was SO, ,029,0O0. More than half the
export trade is in rubber, which has
increased in amount more than fifty
fold since 1856. And that increase is
chiefly due to the enormous extension

The population of Cuba increased
from 715, 900 in 1925, to 1,G31, 400 in
1894. The population is much less
now than it was then, owing mainly
to starvation. About sixty-five per
cent. of the population is descended
from the aristocracy and peasantry of
CASTLE, Audalusia, Catalonia and
other provinces of Spain Most of
the remainder of the population is
mainly of African descent Havana
is about as populous as Washington,
and until the war began was a very
gay city.

BUSINESS on THE SOUND.

Post-Intelligencer;
The showing made by the banks OF
Seattle is most remarkable. The par
tial reports which have been made from
time to time have prepared the public for
an increase on a large scale, but when
the totals are Given they assume pro-
portions far beyond those conceived by
one unfamiliar with the daily business
Of the banks.
Within one year there has been an in
crease in the amount OF cash on hand
OF nearly ss2O,OOO. while the increase of
deposits has been over s5.OOO,OOO. One sig
nhcant item in the accounts is that
which shows an increase Of 1,4O9 per cent
in cash in the savings banks. II is also
very noticeable that there is large in
crease in the amount Of deposits in the
other banks which seem to have the
largest run Of small depositors. The per-
centages Of increase both in deposits and
in cash on hand are exceedingly salts
factory. but as banks do not receive
money for the purpose ~ boarding 1t up
in vaults. but of lending 1t out at inter-
est, It is the percentage of increase in
deposits which is the best criterion Of
prosperity. An increase Of nearly 200
per cent in little over a year is won
derful manifestation OF increased local
resources. That the percentage of IN
crease in cash on hand is 4OS. shows that
many men who owed the banks money
have repaid them. while there has been
less Of a demand on the part of new bOr-

There is one method OF meeting the
United States supreme court decision by
the railroaa managers They can form
social clubs at the various great railroad
sensers. and there have casual meetings
and arrange a mutual understanding as
gentlemen do in matters connected with
social life, and thereby be bound by word
Of mouth which gentlemen recognize the
same as though in legal document form.
There is no doubt that the railroad man
ayers are much perplexed by the harsh
decision Of the supreme court. out they
claim that the roads are now 80 busy

some method is adopted to hold them
together through a bond OF honor OF
otherwise. as without it the roads will
strike out as in times gone by for each
sther's customers. This Is sure to occur
with enterprising competitive roads in
dull times. but there is no danger OF this
now while all the roads have as much
business as they can handle It is very
evident that the various cliques have
put their shoulders under their special
ties TO hold them up and bridge over the
adverse effect OF the United States su'

There win be more important work to

the adoption OF a form OF government

Cor asslmIsting their currency with the
American standard and the establishment
of a nscai and tariff policy that win tos-
ser American trade with these new pos
sessions, Although not all these are
partisan questions. some of them are
sufhclentiy so to give the pOpulists and
snverites a pretext for embarrassing
the administration at every point by hos
tile criticism. 1t is certain that a sound
money majority will be requisite to bring
the currency Of the new territories into
harmony with that Of the United states.

that cannot be intrusted TO those who are
