LIKES AMERICAN GIRLS.
Queen Victoria Expresses Herself on
Their Marrying Members of the
English Aristocracy.

1t appears that her majesty recently
expressed her views on the marriages
OF members of the English aristocracy
with American girls. She confessed
that she at first viewed these mar
l'ages with some anxiety; but added
that her fears have since been complete
" allayed, and the queen now thinks
that American girls, from the breadth
Of their education, independently and
rapid-changing life, are better able TO
adapt themselves to a new environment
sShan the more stereotyped English
girls. The queen also thinks it unfair
10 insinuate that mercenary motives are
the frequent cause of the marriage of
impoverished mobiles to American heir
csses.

NEGRO SOLDIERS PROMOTED
The Giving of Com I'm tssIons To Brave
COlored Soldiers Causes Comment
Among Army Officers.

Some comment has been made in
army circles over the appointment Of
several negroes from the Tenth caval-
ny regiment TO be commissioned Off
GERS i'm the two immune regiments now
serving in Cuba.
1t was the Tenth cavalry that rem
dered such gallant services in front of
Santiago and came up at critical time
when the rough riders were in peril
Gus position. These negroes all con
Quoted themselves, according to official
reports made at the time in most SOL
diery manner, and many of them are
said TO have deserved the rewards they
received.
Officers of the army are, however,
anxious to learn if these appointments,
which are in the nature of promotions,
are to be followed 10y others of n like
nature.
Secretary Alger explained the policy
of the war department in making APP
pointments of negroes TO commissioned
rank in the army and stated there was
no purpose of adopting any regular
plan in rewarding them and that those
commissioned had been recognized be-
cause of their meritorious conduct.
He thought that if there was occasion
other negroes might be advanced, but
not otherwise.
The negro soldier. he stated, had the
same right TO stand the competitive
examination held yearly at Fort Leav-
enworth for selection from the ranks
of the regular line. but this right has
been seldom taken advantage of, and in
no case has a negro been commissioned
in this manner.
Previous TO the war there was but
one negro officer. and he secured his
commission on graduating some years
ago from West Point. There are now.
however, seven. all serving in colored
immune regiments ordered to Cuba in
the early autumn. AS these regiments
are included in the volunteer organiza-
tons all the colored officers appointed
will return to the ranks when the regi-
ments are no longer required for serv-
ice and can be mustered out.

NEW RAILROAD LINE STARTED
work Commenced on the San Bruno
Road Branch of the Folsom
Street Line.

Chief Constructor H. H. Lynch of the
Market Street Railroad Company made p
start yesterday morning on the San Bru-
no road branch Of the Folsom street cleo
trio car line. At o'clock 100 men with
necessary teams congregated at the juno
ton of Army street and Precita. avenue
and at once broke ground for the branch
line that will, when complete, connect the
people of the San Bruno road with the
city proper by means of a direct electric
car service. The proposed line will con-
meet with Folsom street at Precita ave-
nue. and Folsom street and continue along
Precita avenue to Army street, running
along that thoroughfare until the San
Bruno road is met, when the line
will continue along that roadway as far
as the terminus of the present horsecar
service, returning over the same route
until Army street is reached, when the
line will continue along that street until
Folsom street is met, where connections
will be established and the line continued
direct to the ferries. It is the present in
tention of Superintendent Vining to have
a ten-mtnute service from Folsom and
Precita avenue over the San Bruno road
line. The cars for this new addition to
the Market street system will run along
Precita avenue to San Bruno road return
ing over Army street, thus tapping Pre-
eta Valley on both sides from Folsom
street east to Army.
The addition of this Hne will be appre-
ciated by the people living on the line of
the San Bruno road, as under the present
system of travel, the horSecar, 1t requires
about one hour and a half to reach the
business portion Of the city from the car
terminus, and as for night trip into the
city 1T is an impossibility, as the last car
out leaves Twenty-fourth street and Po-
trero avenue at 10 o'clock at night.
