Philadelphia, December 18.-The
Baldwin Locomotive Works has within
the last few days, received orders for
f1fty-six locomotives, of which sixteen
are for the Imperial railway of China,
making the second order received from
that country within ten months. A
contract with the Reading Railway
Company calls for twenty-five freight
engines and five switching engines of
the heaviest type ever operated on the
system. They are to be specially adapt
ed to use in the subway.
The Chicago & Western has also or
dered ten large freight engines. while
numerous small orders have been re-
ceiyed from railroads all over the
country. In addition to working day
and night it has recently been found
necessary to increase the force of men

Savannah, Ca, December 18.-Promi.
nent citizens have interested them
selves in behalf of Moore. the Maine
artiileryman, who was the other day
sentenced to pay fine of $500 or serve
sixty days on the chain gang, by Judge
Norwood, for attempting on the streets
20 hug the wife of prominent citizen.
A petition to the Governor for pardon
is being circulated. and it is being
signed not only by leading men, but
by society women as WELL Moore was
hilariously intoxicated at the time of
his offense. He has borne an excellent
reputation in his command. His petit
ton will go to the Governor probably
tomorrow, and considering the high
characters of the signers it is probable
the pardon will be promptly granted.
Moore is now in the chain gang, where
he has been for two weeks. The petit
toners say they think his degradation
and punishment have been ample.

one of the Incidental miSfortunes of
our war with Spain is that it has
obliged the government to withdraw
It's patrol fleet of revenue cutters from
Berhing Sea, thus leaving the way open
for a whole sale renewal OF pelagic seal
fishing in those waters. The vessels
which have hitherto been employed by
the United States in protecting the
seals have all been pressed into the
naval service. and fishermen from the
British provinces are already taking
advantage Of the fact by organizing
for a summer raid upon the dwindling
herds. If in the absence of our patrol
the British authorities should estab-
lish an adequate one on their own ac-
count, the impending destruction of
the seals might be averted, but there
is no reason Whatever to hope for any
such fortunate arrangement. The
British contention has been that the
hefuS are IN no immediate danger OF
extinction and that they are not worth
worrying about, anyhow. Tn chances
are. therefore, that before the war is
ended the already vanishing seal herds
of Berhing Sea will have been absolute
ly eXterminated, thus removing effect
ually. but in a somewhat discreditabe
manner,an interest which has been the
subject of continued and vexatious
controversy between the two govern
ments. The Wanton destruction of a
great and valuable industry like the
seal fisheries is unworthy of Anglo
American policy, but it is one of the
+ possible vicisstudes of the present
war, and we can certainly stand it if
our British ncighbors can.

The staff correspondent of the New
York Voice whose especial commission
it is to unearth the wickedness of
American colleges and universities has
discovered that IA of the 40 songs in the
Princeton class songbook for 1898 are
drinking songs, and he publishes to a
horrified world the hair-raising senti-
ments of most of them, involving talk
about draining a loving-cup to Prince
tom and 'the pope who leads a jolly
life Probably most college students
of strictly non-bibulous habits have fcl,
tWinge of incongruity in singing these
rollicking old drinking songs. and pos
sibly the educative effect is not good
but it is quite ridiculous for the Voice
to cite these songs as evidence of the
prevalence of intemperance at Prince
ton.

The fact that England has decided "a

Pacific waters is a matter Of extreme
significance to the entire world. Her
present naval facilities there are what
would be considered under ordinary
circumstances. ample. Her decision to
replace some of her weaker vessels
with ships of greater fighting capacity
must indicate that she anticipates
some action in the near future of great
moment.
