UNION MADE.
New York Central and Lake
Shore Railroads
Now Said to Be United in One
Road.
A SUDDEN ACTIVITY
And Advance of the Stocks Of
the Roads
Are Accounted For by Brokers
in This Manner.
SUDDEN ACTIVITY

New York. Jan. 27.-The Tribune
says:
Sudden activity and a heavy advance
on the New York stock exchange in the
stocks of the New York Central and
Hudson River railroad and the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern railroad
are accompanied by a report that there
is to be practically union of the two
lines.
The gist of the report is that the
yesterday at 1856 is to be taken over by
the New York Central, which win pay
200 for it in some new security to be is
sued. William K. Vanderbilt is credt-
ted with the belief that by a union OF
the two lines there will be a better con-
troll of the traffic and great economies
may be effected
The capital stock of the Lake Shore
is $49 466, 500.
The New York Central controls the
West Shore, the Rome, Watertown &
Ogdensburg, the New York & Harlem
and the New York & Putnam It's total
mileage of tracks owned or leased is O.
294 miles. The capital stock is $780, O0o,-
OOO
It is said that nothing is to be done
definitely at present: The plans are
pretty well formulated and only official
sanction has to be given to them The
consolidation, if effected, will probably
be under the name of the New York
Central.
The main offices will be in New York
and the New York Central directory
will control with the present central
officials at the head of the new COM
pany.

Secretary Long Regards the
Visit of the Spanish Warship
to This Country as No
Menace.
SHE is MUCH BIGGER
Than the Maine, and Is a First
class BattIeship.
Work on the Brooklyn Going on
Night and Day.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The informa-
ton from Madrid that the Spanish gov
ernment had decided to send the war
ship Viscaya on a visit to American
ports caused no comments in official
circles. She is a formidable craft,
larger, faster and more powerful than
the Maine.
Secretary Long said today that he
had received no notice from the Span
ish minister or from any other source
that Spanish men-of-war have been or
dered to visit United States ports.
They were perfectly welcome to come
and go as they pleased, he said, and,
so far as he was concerned, he would be
delighted to have them come. Spanish
warShips have frequently visited the
United States since the insurrectionary
movement broke out in Cuba three
years ago without having excited the
least unfriendly comment, and there
was no reason why any significance
should be attached to their coming
again whenever they felt disposed to
do So The Spanish flagship at this
station took part in the ceremonies
connected with the dedication of the
Grant monument in New York about a
year ago, and also at the subsequent
celebration in Philadelphia last sum-
mer, after which the Spanish admiral
and his staff visited Washington and
paid their respects to the president and
the members of his cabinet
Washington, Jan. PA cablegram
was received from Consul General Lee
at Havana dated $50 p. m. last even

and will return it tomorrow. He had
already returned official visits of Span
ish and other naval vessels. No disor-
ders of any sort
Havana, Jan. 27-The government
has reinforced the police at the Ameri-
can consulate, along the wharves. and
on the principal streets, as a precau-
ton against any attempts to provoke a
collision when the marines and crew
of the United States warship Maine
come ashore.
New York, Jan. 27.-Orders have been
received at the navy yard to hurry the
work on the cruiser Brooklyn in order
that she may sail Sunday, the date
named by the navy yard Night and
day gangs are working on the vessel
According to the yard officials the
Brooklyn will be ready to sail Saturday

a battle in which our soldiers
suffered the greatest loss yet re-
ported since the war begun in
Cuba was on the morning of the

in a dense thicket on high pla-
teau overlooking Santiago de

resisted sharply for one hour,
when the fire from our guns
routed them. % Americans, in.
Guiding one officer, were killed,

coast, has been abandoned by the
Spanish. Lieut.. IIobson and his

The daring bravery of Ameri.

The barbarism Of the Spanish to

Small Farms Pay Best.

American farms, as rule, are
too large. The time is coming,
and ia near at hand, when agricul-
ture and stock raising will have
to be confined to smaller farms. a
man in this locality thinks he can
do nothing unless he possesses from
one quarter to a section Of land;
and the craze is so prevalent that
if he has but a small tract he is not
content with his surroundings but
goes into debt for more land. In
many instances, he mortgages his
whole tract for his addition, and
after paying a large amount OF
interest, is compelled to sell out
or lose all his labor aud home be-
sides. If that craze had not struck
this country, the Eastern money
lenders and interest gatherers
would not have their soft.handed
and slick.tongued agent at any
town, where, as it is, they can be
found at any town Of any size
There is time enough yet for re-
form, if we will content ourselves
with a small area, and cultivate
better in order that, through our
efforts, two blades of grass be
made to grow where but one grew
before. A forty acre farm, well laid
off aud properly titled, will yield
more than double that amount
but half TILED, and will give the
farmer a great deal more pleasure
and happiness through life.
