Santiago. Oct. 31.-There was ccnsid-
cradle trouble here about the large con-
signment of supplies received here Sat-
urday by the steamer Port Victor from
San Juan, consigned by the Helen
Gould War Relief association. The
right to distribute the supplies was
claimed by two persons, Mr.. Macintosh,
to whom a part vas consigned and who
had a letter authorizing him to act, and
Edward A. Sumner Of New York, coun-
sci for the association.
DIR. Quicker of the yellow fever hospi-
tai. to whom a part was consigned, de-
sired to distribute what was needed at
the hospital. there being very few cases
now on hand and hone that Is consid-
cred genuine yellow fever.
Ultimately IL was decided to await
the return of General Wood from Man.

the case, decided hat Mr.. Macintosh
was the person authorized to make the
distribution, and advised DIR. Quicker to
turn over TO him what was not needed
at the hospital. DIR. Quicker promptly
acquiesced, explaining that there had
been merely a misunderstanding on the
part OF both Mr.. Macintosh and Mr..
Sumner, equally interested i'm the work.
In the meantime the stores were land

for the hospital, and while the rest were

General Freight Agent Moore of the

that live stock business on that road Is

Northern Pacific Will mex year furnish
most of it's own live stock cars. More

The sleeping Apartments OF a Poor Farm
Destroyed.

Elberton. Wash. Oct. 31.-The sleeping
apartments of the inmates of the Whit
man county poor farm were destroyed by
fire to-day and @. w. Hull, an aged in
mate. persisted I'm the flames. The fire was
discovered about 10 O'Clock, and In a few
minutes the building was a mass of ruins
from which could be seen the charred re-
mains of the aged victim. The building
was a large structure. 1t was dry and
burned like finder. No effort was made
by the inmates to rescue Hull beyond call
ing to the inmates. He was lying on a cot
and refused to move, and the inmates
who discovered him. being old and feeble.
had not presence of mind sufficient to
drag him out. One inmate grabbed an
iron bedstead i'm the room in which Hull
lay and tried to save IT,. but allowed the
man to perish. When w. ii. Gleason.

1t Is interesting to note In this cOnnec-
ton that nearly 40 per cent. of the total
freight cars constructed in 1897 were for
the Baltimore q Ohio railroad. For the
years preceding the worlds fair we
built the normal humble of cars need
ed. but since 1892. through the years of
business depression, or for the five years
ending with 1897, we built on the ave-
rage only II. 900 freight cars a year.
There are indications that the year 1898
will show much greater activity In this
line. h railroads of the country
could use TO advantage 200. 1000 more
freight cars than they now have, 1t is
clear that renewed activity in freight
car building must continue for some
years.
There are now $4,000 locomotives in
use, $1,000 of them being in passenger
service. All these passenger engines are
fitted with train brakes, and over half
of them with automatic c~ouplers. Each
passenger engine handled upon an We
rage over 80. 1000 passengers during the
year and ran nearly 1.250. 900 miles. Each
freight locomotive on an average drew
30. 900 tons of freight.
Our freight trains for the year ending
Sept. 1. carried 760. 900, 900 tons of freight
and every ton was carried on an e
rage lbs miles. making In all 80. 900, 00o.-
900 ton of freight carried one mile.
While the average cost OF carrying a
ton OF freight one mile was S-10ths Of 1
cent II was only 6-10ths of I cent in some
OF the states. The cost OF carrying
freight has steadily fallen from 2 cents
a mile per ton in 1867 to its present low
rate. Our railroads last a had to
carry a ton of freight 1880 miles to
make 81, and the freight work done was
equivalent TO carrying one tor 1900
miles for every man., woman and child
OF the population. Over three-fourths
OF the receipts Of our railroads are for
freight.
Dur railroads. with their 5000 passen-
ger engines and 5000 cars for passen-
ger trains. carried $50. 900. 900 passen-
gers during the year ending Sept. L. and
received for his service s275. 900. 900.
The roads had to carry a passenger 500
miles in order TO make 81. The net earn
ings OF the roads for the year were a
little more than 81 0 900 a day.

Leo XIII has not gone out Of the vast
Enclosure which surrounds the Vatican in
twenty years, and yet has surpassed the
years Of life Of Plus TX, who alone of
all Popes had exceeded the years of
Peter.
In the eyes of superstitlous Romans,
Leo XIII. has performed another miracle
of longevity. He has escaped a critical
date, one determined by a cabalistic cal-
calation, which set The end of his life
for the year 1892.
It is said all his predecessors in this
century, Plus TX, Gregory XVI, Plus
VIII, Leo XVI, Plus VII, have obeyed
the law of figure.
Leo XIII. alone has escaped it, and the
same calculation, if it were exact in his
case, would assign him ten years more of
existence, which would make the Pontiff
surpass even the age of Doge Dandolo.

treasury by these performances, and
each year dramas are presented solely
for that purpose.
