The Boulevard Line.

The securities on the property of the
! Columbia and Maryland Electric Railway
| COmpany, known as the Boulevard Line.
agsregating about $4,000, have been
purchased bv Mr. Nicholas p. Bond,
MeSSrs. Scott Il Co., of Wilmington, Del,
and two Baltimore gentlemen,
When the Baltimore Security and Trad
ing Company, of which Mr.. Bond is presl-
| dent, purchased the property the notes
were issued They were in1orSed by Mr..
Bond, Mr.. John E. Scarles, of New \ ork,
secretary and treasurer OF the American
Sugar Trust, and Mr.. Scott, of Whining
ton, Del.
The notes were due last Friday. and be-
cause of bill pending in Congress author
ling the consolidation of the lexington
and Soldiers Home Electric Railway,
and Washin gton Railway and that part
of the Columbia and MARYLAND Railroad
between Washington and Laurel, Md,
failing to pass the Senate so far the Baltl-
more Security and Trading Company has
been unable to deliver new stocks and
bonds already sold.
This failure forced the compay to de-
fault on the notes. The bill has already
passed the House, and the delay in the
Senate Mr.. Bond attributes to the pressure
| of war measures requiring immediate ac-
ton. Its passage would have enabled the
company to issue securities to complete
by consolidating at once, which would
have made it possible to deliver the new
stocks and bonds and pay off the notes.
1t is probable that the property will
be almost entirely into the hands Of Balti-
more gentlemen. Mr. Scott may be the
only one outside of the city to retain an
interest.
Mr. Searles has no interest in the pur-
chase of the notes. although he is liable
for his Endorsement until they are cancel
ed. He is sick and Mr.. Bond has not been
able to learn his desires in the matter
eff he wants to continue holding an in
terest in the road we will be glad to have
him do So" said Mr.. Bond. But he has
so much to look after that he may feel
like leaving the company. If so we will
take his interest We have no desire or
intention of trying to freeze him out.
After the transfer of the notes, which
will ultimately result in their being can
celed it is thought reimbursement of the
interests in the property will be made,
placing it mainly in the possession OF
Baltimoreans. The Baltimore Security
Trading Company will be continued.
As soon as these matters can be adjust
ed the line between Baltimore and Ellicott
City will be completed and put in opera
ton.
The Maryland Traction Company, which
will own and operate the line between
Baltimore and Ellicott City, will complet-
ed and equip this line at once. AS soon
as Congress passes the necessary legisla-
ton, which it is expected to do within Il
few days, the lexington and Soldiers
Home Railway and the Maryland and
Washington Railway, in the District of
Columbia, and the railway from the Dis
trict line through Hyattsville TO Berwyn,
will be merged into one system and re-
built and supplied with new equipment.
Inside of the District line the under
ground electric system will be installed.

 With this declaration he handed me a card. Of course I was pleased to meet nice, bigmustached Baron, but I also wanted my drawing room for my own comfort. I politely told him that 1t may be the custom in Europe to rush for the best part of the cars-they have compart- ments, you know-but here each man gets section and must not wander therefrom. The fellow looked furious and refused to surrender. The conductor, a half dozen porters and as many passengers feared trouble, and they all began to explain at once. It took a long time to appease that German aristocrat. We fixed him. but not until he threatened vengeance. The next morning he apologized, but he said it was a = bad system" and this country was something wrong, anyway" But that isn't the joke. 1 want to know what became of small parcel of some value that I had in one of my satcheIs before that gentleman of foreign blood dropped into my stateroom."

WITH PROFIT TO THE NATION.

n IL authorities on the naval operations of the \ war agree that immense service of great value was rendered to the nation by the four ocean steamers-the St. Paul. the St. Louis, the New York and the Paris-which chartered by the Government and put to auxiliary cruisers in the operations in the West Indies. With the exception of the battleshps that took part in the actual fighting vessels in the navy were charged with more inn portant duties or performed them with greater eff ciency.
 The profit which the Government has thus derived from these steamers in the time of the nations need completely vindicates the policy under which the steamship line to which they belong has been built up. It policy adopted by Great Britain, France and Germany before 1t was tried here and has been profitable to those empires to our republic. It is therefore which has been fully justified by its results wherever tested, and should be included among the policies which the nation will not only continue to enforce but will expand as rapidly as possible.
 The American liners, like the British, French and German mail of the larger class, granted certain annual subsidy, not only for carrying the mails, but retainer for their use as naval aux- aries in of need. When it proposed to fol- low the European plan in this respect, and thus bring about the establishment of great American line of steamships the object was violently opposed by those
 
 upbuding of an American merchant marine It was said at the time by the objector that the nation would have any for the ships, that the subventon given them would be money wasted and that the scheme was job to enrich the few at the expense of the many
 It is not likely after the experience of the recent war that such objections to the advancement of our ship building and shp-owning interests will be urged again during this generation. The four ocean grey hounds demonstrated their value to the Government too clearly to be disputed. It is recognized by all authorities that the navy would have been heavily handicapped without them as the high rate of speed of which they capable rendered them almost in- valuable in the performance of certain forms of work in the strategy of naval campaigns.
 Experience having thus made it certain that the nation has derived profit from the policy of pro- noting the building of American steamships, there should be no longer any hesitation on the part of Congress in extending the system so auspiciously begun An American merchant marine is one of the essentials of the coming expansion of American com merce and American industry and the sooner we pro- vide for the the prompter will be the profit of l the others.

MCGUIRE AND THE HRMY.

I is still remembered that at the outbreak of
 with Spain Judge Mcguire denounced the first acts of the navy no better than acts of piracy. He was not sustained in this view by the public and later the courts decided him to be wrong An ex- planation became necessary, and the Judge explained It was remarkable effort. It simply deepened the insult originally given. There was in 1t no note o apology and better for him had he kept silent than opened his mouth and therein again thrust his foot
 But slur the navy not enough for Ma guire. He has enlarged his view so as to take in the army as well, and from his ready tongue has come abuse for part of the gallant force which fought so vaantly amid the dangers of tropic Cuba To be sure, he said word for the soldier, but upon the War Department and army officials he pronounced verdict of guilty" to the charges Of neglect and incompetency. Who constituted him the tribunal? By what means does he know there is truth in the accusations? Many of these, most of them come from papers notorious for their venom and untruth.
 As a matter of fact, Mcguire talks in this fashion because the struggle so brilliantly waged and so soon leading to triumph, honorable and complete, was under the direction of a Republican administration. He ignores the truth that investigation has been ordered that the President not content that rumor should go unchaenged, has asked that representa- tive citizens of every party act as committee to ascertain where blame should rest, if blame there be- No one is to be shielded If there has been negli- gence and incompetency the of the cupabe will be proclaimed, and by the very administration which Mcguire islanders
 This is a Republican year, and partly so by the victory of our arms. It is poor time to decry the ability of the men who directed the war, or camor for the very evidence which the administration has undertaken to secure openly fully and for the pur- pose of giving it to the world

H R. Browne paster in the Appraisers building has instructed Haven & Haven, his attorneys, to file suit against Customs Broker Frederick F. G. Harper to recover s27O0 which he alleges Harper received from him under false representations
 Browne's story is that little more than +hree wears ago he entered into an agree ment by the terms of which Browne was to succeed Harper's father as paSter, farmer representing that he owned the bneipess and that no one else could come into the Appraisers building ana ana oo any Stamping except Harper or his assigns: he Browne DT0cssd wds f o8 he business until the fur thar sl1m of $500 should have been pald;

Hence, the tobacco importers were Pequested to appoint a man to do their stamping for them they to pay him for his services Harper's father was select ed by the importers, and the collector holding the office at that time appointed Harper a laborer without pay. MT Jack son said that he knew nothing about the relations between Harper and Browne.
 Browne said that after he had made the agreement with Harper the latter clrcu55 lated a petition among the importers anu induced them to recommend Browne Tor the place vacated by the death or the elder Harper. Browne added that he used to do certain other work for Harper ana divide the fees with Harper, and that this work of right should have gone 10 Swayne, Hoyt & Co.,, of which Harper IS a member. It was rumored around the Custom house yesterday that Swayne & Hoyt, learning of these things from Browne and certain clients. took Harper to task last Monday and that rupture in the firm was the result.
 SWayne, Hoyt & Go. would not speak or the matter, and Harper declined to make any statement beyond the fact that what ever he had done in the affair with Browne was right and that Browne nad no case.

THE COMMON DUTY OF ALL

HAT all persons having considerable dealings
 with Wells, Fargo & Co. feel gratifed by the
 resolute action of William E. Costley in resist ing the aggressions of the corporation is matter of course No doubt many of them will extend to Mr. Costley their thanks for what he has done and will assure him of their best wishes for his speedy in the contest
 All such thanks and wishes will be right and proper provided they do end with words. In matters of this kind where the whole public is concerned there should be something like universality of action It by combination that the newspapers of San Fran cisco compelled the corporation to back down from the attempt to force them to pay the tax which Con- gress had imposed upon the revenue the corporation derived from its newspaper patrons. A similar com bination among merchants and other shippers would have the same effect. The company can afford to fight It would not persist in its extortions if it found itself resolutey opposed by the whole city
 The course taken by Mr. Costley should be taken by others The Chamber of Commerce might well revive at this juncture its toward making test against the company in the It is now manifest that the given that the question would be settled speedily by test case raised in the East trick of the corporation to obtain delay; what the churchgoing president would call "pious fraud Time has passed and the corporation has ex- torted large from the public and continues to line The suits should be multiplied There is such thing skinning fraud of its pous covering and forcing its votaries to abandon it.

n STRIKING illustration of the extent and de- / \ gree of the public interest in the problem of protecting our common school system from the domination and contamination of political bosses is shown by the fact that the revolt of the pupils of the San Jose High School has attracted attention and won approving comment not only throughout Cali fornia but in the Eastern States. It is everywhere recognized that while the contest is local the issue is national and that the boys and girls of San Jose or less concerned.
 The Philadelphia Inquirer after review of the sit uaton in San Jose and fair statement of the causes that led up to 1t, says: If this method of rebuking recalcitrant criminal School Boards were to be- come popular the public would have far better service than they have in places at present. There IS too much carelessness in the way parents hand their sacred duties the education of the young, to incompetent politicians"
 This statement of the responsibility of parents with respect to the management of the schools to which their children to be educated is not open to any charge of exaggeraton. There has been in all American communities too much carelessness on the part of the parents in such matters San Francisco is justly subject to this reproach any other city in the Union Here, as elsewhere, a profitable lesson car be learned from what has been accomplished in San Jose by the aroused conscience of parents toward public school management
 In most cities and counties in the United States the larger part of local taxes levied for the purpose of maintaining schools. There is therefore an important monetary as well educational interest involved Citizens should to it that they get for their money that for which the money paid. A people who know their rights, and have sufficient sefrespect to assert them, will not permit the money they pay for the support of schools be diverted to the support of the henchmen of political bosses
 As the Baltimore American says: "To make the child the victim of politics is about the meanest crime a community commit, and it must be remembered that at the end of the argument the child is the vic tim. political public school system, therefore is double robbery-it robs the parent, who gives the money, and 1t robs the child"
 The case of the spoliation of the San Jose High School by the bosses of that city an extreme one and is not necessary that other communities should resort to the drastic remedy undertaken there but the spirit that prompted the resort to that remedy is one that it would be well to see everywhere aroused What has been done at San Jose has, therefore been widely beneficial has recalled popular attention tc the important issue stake and is felt as an incentive toward action for the protection of the schools in al most all sections of our widely extended Union

Bachman was dis appointed, for he had hoped to find the Baron there. As he was about to leave he met a few of his friends, who, notic- ing the expression of disappointment which had settled on Bachman's face, in- quired into the reason of it. Bachman unbosomed himself In .-,e following words:
 You see, just came down from Port land, and I had little affair on with German Baron. He was insolent, and we nearly came to blows. I promised him a meeting when we got in San Francisco not a duel, don't be a fool-and thought he would stop at the Palace if anywhere.
