Among the many expenses borne by
railroad companies the ice bill figures
quite prominently. For instance, on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Ii Is
expected it will take over $4,000 tons
of ice this year to meet the require
ments of the service. The greater
portion is used in connection with
shipment of perishable goods: the bal
ance in the passenger train service. A
great deal of this ice is put up by the
company in its own ice houses, but as
the past winter has been so warm a
very large proportion will have to be
purchased.

France Considers the Present Condition In"
tOierablo-spanIsh Ambaasador Says
War Means Ruin to Spain.

LONDON, June BIT is understood
that M. HanotauX and other ministers
regard the present situation as intol-
cradle, A protracted war, besides de-
stroying commerce, would necessitate
postponing the coming exhibition. 1t
is hoped that the new commercial
agreement between France and the
United States will smooth the way
to French intervention, in which
certainly Austria and perhaps En-
gland or other powers will join.
Russia, it is asserted, would be
willing to undertake tho Office of
mediator to save France the necessity
of becoming prominent Count de
Rascon, the Spanish ambassador in
London, who has been interviewed
on the subject, admitted that war
means ruin for Spain, and he said:
1.-THE sentiment is growing in favor of
seeking an honorable peace which
America, considering her unprepared-
ness for war of invasion, would also
welcome in preference to protracted
struggle involving heavy sacrifices of
money and men. This being so, hope
a basis of understanding may be found
leading to peace"

United States In the Present
War with Spain.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-According to
the calculations of the officials of the
navy department, the United States
cruiser Charleston arrived at Hon
olulu last Saturday. She has prob
ably completed the taking aboard
of a full coal supply and is now
again on her way westward, bound
for the Philippine islands. The coal
was accumulated at Honolulu by
the United States consul general, Hay
wood, and in allowing the Charleston
to take on a supply to carry on opera
tions against Spanish territory the
government of Hawaii has cast away
all semblance of neutrality in the
present contest and has thrown in her
fortunes with the United States, for,
unless we protect her, she is subject to
punishment at the hands of Spain.

THE RED CROSS SOCIETY.
Ex-President Cleveland Sends a Letter
Commenting tho Cause to All
Good Citizens.

PHILADELPHIA, June 4.-Ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland has written a letter to
the secretary of the committee APP
pointed to collect funds for the Red
Cross society, the funds to be used for
the relief of soldiers during the war,
expressing his regret at being unable
to attend ameeting of the society here.
Among other things the letter ontains
the following:
War is n national af1iction, even when best
justified and most clearly unavoidable. What
ever proof it furnishes of mans advance in
civilization and the growth Of human kinship
Is apt to be found in the efforts to which it
gives rise for the alienation Of the horrors of
battle and for the relief and comfort Of those
who must suffer and die, The society OF the
Red Cross devoted to these humane and mer-
ciful ministrations, deserves the hearty CO.
operation and aid Of all good citizens who es-
innate at their just value the patriotism and
devotion Of those who fight in their country's
cause.
