WAsHIscroS, d. c., Oct. 24.-Not
one cent for Spanish bonds or terri
tory; millions for resumption OF the
war, il action Of Spain makes in
necessary. This is a statement in a
nut shell Of the position Of this gov
ernment. Not a man in official
circles believes that Spain will be
foolish enough to order its Commits
sioners not to sign the treaty Of
Peace. unless they secure some money
consideration. either ns payment for
the Philippines. or assumption Of
portion OF Spain's bonded indebted
ness, although sneh IN outcome Of the
negotiations at Paris appears to be
receiving serious consideration in

such it is all absolutely wasted. |

NEW ERA HAS COME.
In Railroad Management and
Investment in the United

Writing from Pittsburg, Pa, a cor
respondent of the Duluth, Mimi.
EUening Herald, speaks as follow,
in recent issue Of that paper:
A new era in railroad management
and railroad investment hes come ia
this countryside investment age
the running Of railroads for dividends
for their stock holders. You NAV
say that is no new era; that has al
ways been the reason for running
railroads. May be, but the railroad
history in this country doesn't show
1T. The past era has been largely a
stock jobbing era. The power of j.
Pierpont Morgan in the financial
world is to a great extent putting
the railroads of America upon a new
basis and paving the way for their
control for dividend purposes, pu .
and simple. Mr.. Morgan represents
investors more than stock deslers and
spectators, and while he controls q
roads he selects the best practi d
railroad men in the country for man
ayers and gives the road careful
management. He is not a railroad
wrecker and does not run railroad
for the sake of milking them.
Jim Hill has always managed the
Great Northern in a way to make il
a dividend payer. Low fixed charges,
small cost per mile for construction, |
the lowest practical grades, the best
terminal facilities possible with
business to shippers. an interest in
the country through which the road |
passes for the roads sake. and a firm
adherence to the broad principle that
he way TO make business for the road
to develop the agricultural and in
lustrlal resources along it--these are
he things which characterize Mr.
iill's railroad management, which
onstitute his policy and which has
nade the Great Northern the mo
n nc, system Of the West. The
iill policy is what makes cities ike
'nlnth willing and anxious to do him
onor.
One Of the Morgan Systems ofrail.
lads is the Southern Railway, whicl,
as organized in 1894 and built M
u OF many bankrupt connecting
aes. Its management shows, per.
