Presence Of a Dangerous Spy On
III. Pacific Discovered.
RUNNING HAVANA BLOCKADE.


San Francisco. June 20.-The govern
ment has taken a firm stand with regard
TO securing transports to carry the troops
to Manila, and from this time forward
mpressment will be the rule until enough
vessels have been secured to carry the
army to the Philippines. The Pacific
Mail company's teamer Newport has
been impressed. This makes the sixth
vessel owned by the Pacific company
which is in the service of the govern
ment. The Peru is due from the orient
on June "a, and the City Of Rio de
steamers will probably be taken by the
government, although their impress
ment will leave the Pacific company
without q steamer on the route between
here and the orient. The taking Of the
Sydney, Colon and Newport leaves the
company's pan-American line In q Grip
pied condition, and II was for this reason
that the officials objected to giving up
the Newport.
The Alameda is due from Australia
and Honolulu on June %. and the govern
ment agents will swoop down OF her.
This will leave the Oceanic Steamship
company alone with only the Mariposa
on the Australian route and no steamer
or the Honolulu route.
1t Il definitely announced that the third
expedition to the Philippines will be
commanded by Brigadier General Arthur
Macarthur. Major General Merritt may
accompany this force. though ne has ex-
pected to remain until the departure Of
the fourth feet of transports.

THE COST OF TRAINS.

Passenger Coaches More Expensive Than
Many Fine Houses.
"Ninety- five per cent of the travelling
public do not own in their own right or
occupy through rental dwelling house
which, including all its contents, costs
as much as one of the ordinary modern
passenger cars run on any first class
railroad"
The foregoing statement, which is cal
culated to arouse the incredulity Of the
average individual, was made recently
by George J. Charlton, assistant general
passenger and ticket agent of the Chi
cago and Alton railroad.
"Just let me give you few facts to
prove that assertion" continued Mr..
Charlton. 1.-The cost of the average
passenger car today is from $4,000 to
g., 900. 4 reclining chair car costs from
$40, 600 to $12. 600. These figures repre-
sent the bare cost of the car. When you
add to that from year to year the ex-
penses Of maintenance, instead Of figur-
ing. as the ordinary business mortal
will figure, a return in interest for the
capital invested you simply aggravate
the situation.
Il once heard prominent master car
builder say that it cost $500 to simply
look over a car after it had served five
or six months on the road and had been
sent to the carshops to be examined
and put into presentable shape for an
other six months run. He meant tina,
the ordinary dressing down and clean
ing of q car would cost over $500, anG
if you extend your investigation to gen
eral shop repairs-perhaps adding lit
tie upholstering here and there-yor
could easily get away with another

The Decadence of France.

The suicide of Colonel Henry OF
the French army. and his confession
before he died that he forged one of
the documents upon which Captain
Dreyfus was convicted, together with
the dislike of the czar's disarma-
ment scheme, is likely to disrupt the
French cabinet. The Dreyfus affair
becomes more and more a deliberate
conspiracy to shield high army off,
GERS as guilty consciences give way
to truth. The peace proposition of
the czar seems to have convinced
France that Russia's professed
friendship is snare and a delusion.
This belief, and Colonel Henry's con-
fession, have stirred the cabinet to
it's center and caused feelings of ex-
treme bitterness to exist between
members. But only France could
have been deluded so long. Only
France of all the nations believed
that Russia would antagonize all Eu-
rope 20 please the Paris government.
Only France would deliberately AL
gerize the nations war establish
ment.
Like Spain, France is welded to
traditions. She fails utterly to see
the march of events. She refuses to
admit that she does not keep pace
with the progress of the other ma
tions. Revenge upon Germany for
the conquest of Alsace-Lorraine dom
mates every public interest. The
army IS the nations hope, but 1t is
the weakest army in Europe in moral
character, and it would have Sedans
everywhere were it to 60 to war.
From President Faure down 20 the
lowest government official there IS
willing blindness. They refuse to
see that France has already entered
the way OF national decadence; that
1 her influence among the nations is
growing weaker, ard that she IS no
longer counted a strong factor
in shaping political events. Rus
sia's disarmament proposition was
known beforehand TO Germany ard
Great Britain, but the secret was not
corfGed to France Russia's supposed
confidential friend. There is : deep
meaning in al this, but France re-
/ fuses 20 probe fo- the meaning. Il
means that TIE three great powers OF
Europe have put France in the list
with Spain ana Austria and Italy-a
( seconG-cIas5 power, whose duty it IS
/ TO follow and rot lead il che inter
nation Al affairs Of the old world.
/ Itis not because France is Eumer-
icaly weak that she no longer hold7
high and commanding position. but
4 it IS because Of decadence along ath-
/ zeal lines. Taa moral sense OF the
people has been benumbed by nurs-
ing 2 bitter hatred OF neighbor, and
! the morals OF the army has been sac
rificed II pecu!atiom and intrigue in
/ high places. naturally these na-
tional ills would be reflected IN the
nations cffuial life. Since the close
/ of the Franco-Prussian war-1s7I-
= e republic has had nearly forty
separate and distinct ministeries, and
the present cabinet is almost sure to
! fall before Henry's confession and

The Illinois Manufacturers asso-
citation is said by its secretary, j. NJ. .
Glenn, to be collecting evidence
against several of the leading express
companies with views of establishing
that those carriers are acting as a
trust in violation of the act to pro-
tect trade and commerce against un-
lawful restraints and monopolies.
The testimony is to be laid before
the United States district attorney.
According to Glenn, the express
companies declined to carry express
matter over certain lines of railway
and because the privilege was not
given to one company upon its own
terms, the other companies have at
tempted to prevent and make it i'm
possible for any express matter to
be carried over these lines and have
obstructed the carriage from there
on to places on lines operated by the
express companies. The railway
companies which Lave had this ex-
perience with the express companies
are the Winona and Western, the
Ann Arbor railway and steamship
lines and tne Southern Indiana. Il
is alleged that in furtherance OF theiE
plans 10 stiae competition the ex-
press companies have consolidated
their Offices and agencies at what are
DESIGNATED common points and divide
the earnings among themselves, Civ
ing the public &c opportunity to pat
rcnize any company except the one
they designate.
