CUBAN TRUNK LINE
Secretary Alger Favors Its Construction by
the Government.
Would Give Employment to the Is
landers and Would Open Up the
Resources of the Country.

Secretary Alger will recommend to Con-
gress that the railway system in Cuba be
extended as to form line running di-
1ectly from Cape Maysi at the east end of
the island. to Cape Antonio on the west
ern extremity. He will also recommend
that this work be directly undertaken by
the United States government, and that
Congress appropriate the necessary funds.
The Secretary expects to serve a double
purpose by the construction of this road.
In the first place, it is military necessity.
The existing railroad system in Cuba is
extremely crude. 1t is not possible to get
troops within three or four hundred miles
of Santiago by rail from Havana, while TIE
whole of the province of Santiago east
ward is without means of commun;ca ton
The state of affairs the western cx-
tremity is almost as bad. If the United
States is to maintain garrisons on the
island for any length of time it wi! be
necessary to open communication with
them. Secretary Alger believes that this
can only be done effectively by rail.
Another and no less important service to
be served by the construction of the road
would be to restore prosperity to the island
at the earliest possible moment and allie
Vtate the distress row existing among the
native Cubans. The construction CT the
railroad would give work to many of the
unemployed native laborers. They would
estly earned. instead of money in charity,
and thus retain their self-respect.
Then. as the road progresses sections OF
the country would be opened up that are
row inaccessible to trade The native
farmers would profit thereby, the business
of the SeapOrtS would increase, and the
whole island would be benefited by the con-
struction of the road if Congress sanctions
the project.
What the cost would be is not yet known
Secretary Alger has instructed the COM
mission which is :iow in Cuba, headed by
Col Hecker, to locate camp sites for the
American garrisonS. to make an eXamira-
tion of the country with particular refer
ence to this proposed railway extension.
This data will be furnished by the board
when 1t returns to the United States. 1t is
believed. from the information in hand,
that by following the plateau in the middle
of Cuba, the cost can he kept at moderate
figures. and no doubt is entertained that
the United State government would be
speedily able to reimburse itself for what
ever money it might spend on the road

HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Judge Kimball Takes Action in Four
Probably Serious Cases.

Four grand jury cases were disposed of
in Judge kimbalrs court today. One of the

and Horne on a charge of stealing a pocket
book containing 500, the property of Mil
lard F Ward The court disposed of the
case by requiring bond of 81 ooO for the
action Of the grand jury.
In the case of ex-Policeman Daniel
Raedy, charged with entering a bicycle es-
tablishment at 30 street and Massachu-
setts avenue for the purpose of robbery,
counsel waived an examination. A bond in
the sum of $500 for his appearance was re-
quired.
The case of William Young, colored ar
rested by Detectives BaUr and Muller
charged with rObbing William Thomas, a
pensiOner. was heard. Young was held in
$1,000 security for the action of the grand
jury.
William NJ. Storch. a Georgetown young
man. arrested by Detectives Parham and
Phillips, for alleged false pretenses, was
tried Ralph w. Lee appeared as COM
plainant. 1t was charged that he obtained
a small amount of money by falsely repre-
sCnting that his father was dead and had
left him sole heir TO property which he
wanted To negotiate loan of $3.50. Bond
in his case was fixed at $500.

PLACE OF MEETING
CONTINUED from Third Page.)

CONTINUED from Hlru rag
ington & Co., 1o7 Duane street. 1870"
Page 800:
ION the 2Sth of March 1851 the then
archbishop of Canterbury, DR.. Dumner in
vited the bishop of Vermont, as he did
all the American bishops. to take part in
celebrating the third jubilee of the
cradle Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel in Foreign Parts. In his answer
to that invitation my father suggeSted-and
as far as l know was the first to suggest
such a meeting of bishops of the Anglican
communion as was held in 1867 at Lam
beth
His letter was printed in full in the En-
glish papers at the time and was the sub
ject of comment, besides being well re-
membered at least by some of the more
thoughtful minds that side the water"
A foot note on the same page runs as
follows:
The bishop of Moray and Ross the pri-
mas of the Scottish church, addressing his
diocesan synod the I'd of October only
a few days after the conference was over,
gives to that letter of the bishop of Yer
mont the credit of the first suggestion of
the idea: In looking to the origin of this
great conference 1t Is worthy of remark
that, although 1t met at Lambeth, 1t was
not suggested or initiated by the home
bishops of the Church of England The
first suggestion of such conference with
which l am acquainted appears in a letter
many years ago from the American bishop
of Vermont to the late archbishop of Can
from winch 1 make the IOlOWlnS
extract: Il fervently hope that the time
may come when we shall meet in the good
old fashion of synodical action. How nat
ural and how reasonable would it seem to
be If in a time of controversy and division
there should be council of all the bishops
in communion with your grace. 1t
is my own firm belief that such a measure
would be productive of immense advantage
and would exercise a moral influence far
beyond that of any secular legislation - "
The above quotations are from the life of
the bishop by Rev. Dr. John Henry Hop
kins.
The first Lambeth conference was held
In 1867, as before stated, and now, in 1893,
comes the first intimation that another

NEARLY NINETY MILLIONS.
Receipts of the Post Office Depart

The Forthcoming annual report of Third
Assistant Pcs tmaster General Merritt will
show the postal receipts for the fiscal year

81 per cent in the deficit of last year. AL
though there is a deficit this year amount
ing to over 100000, the showing is re-
