porous and successful papers in New York
quite abreast of their fellows in enterprise
which needle very little with pictures use
moderation in their choice of types, eschew
the crazy-quilt arrangement of the wares
they offer, and seem to rely for patronage
on their ability to get the news promptly
and print it in convenient and readable
form. Willingness and ability to spend
money is not quite all there it to newspaper
making There is something in character
and the ability to command the services
of honorable and trustworthy men; some
thing too in knowing what is important
and what is not what is true and what is
false what is worth space and what may be
condensed without loss. Last spring a New
York newspaper Of great enterprise and
high reputation for news getting, famous
for it's lavish expenditures for news cut
down Senator Proctor's report on Cuba to
column length Yet that report which cost
1t practically nothing, was news of superla-
tive Importance, worth twice the space 1t
would have taken to print it in full. The
same newspaper. the other day, when the
President appointed some two hundred
lieutenants in the regular army, published
the names of the appointees by States as
far as Massachusetts and left the rest
out, beause, apparently, to print more
would have marred the prettiness of the ar
rangement of it's page. That sort of news
papering does better in ordinary times,
when folks want 10 be entertained, than
now when they want TO be informed. Mean

ANOTHER WAR POSSIBLE
RELATIONS BETWEEN BRITAIN AND

English Admiralty Preparing for All
Emergencies by Putting Its Entire
Fleet of War Ships i'm Order.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-That extreme diplo-
matte tension exists between st. Petersburg
ard London is generally admitted to-day.
though the officials deprecate the alarmist
reports which were current yesterday. 1t
is hoped that the firmer stand adopted by
the Marquis of Salisbury during the last
few days, which seems to have already Gre
ated some misgivings at ST. Petersburg, will
have the desired effect of arresting Rus
sian aggressiveness. 1t is felt both here
and on the continent that the outcome of
the dispute in regard to the NewChwang
(China) railroad extension is the crucial
point of the success or failure Of Great
Britain's policy of the "open door,
An evidence of the fact that Great Brit
ain appreciates the gravity of the situation,
the Associated Press learns that the Admit
rally is preparing for all emergencies, and
that it will soon be ready to mobilize the
entire fleet at the shortest notice. Every
officer and man on furlough or on half-pay
has been assigned to a ship and instructed
to be in readiness to join at the earliest pos
sible moment. Therefore, practically every
ship in the British navy, whether in or out
of commission at the present moment, has
its full war complement of officers and men
ready to take her out to sea when the time
arrives.
According to Paris advices Admiral Bedol-
liere, commanding the French China squad
don, has cabled a demand for reinforce
ments and for a large credit to be applied
to erecting Notifications The reason given
for these demands is that the natives of
the Kwang-Chou-W Wang region are showing
signs of hostility, but there is some suspi-
cion here that the action of the French ad-
miral may be connected with a desire to
back up Russian designs.

home it has been ever since Mr. Linton
came to America many years ago. Mrs.
Linton did not come to America with her
husband. preferring her literary life in Lon
don. During the early years of their mar
RED life she was most devoted to her hus-
bands children. She had no children of her
own. Her stepdaughters in America have
always kept in correspondence with her and
always speak of her with affection and re-
gard Besides her many novels, Mrs Lin
ton did much writing of a purely journal
istic sort, her stated contributions to a
number of London periodicals being widely
read. Any one familiar with these latter
products from Mrs. Linton's pen must adj
NIT that whatever her other faults of au-
thorship, she had a faculty for making an
idea go farther and yet without appearing
to overwork it than is the fortune of most
writers.

THAT NEWFOUNDLAND STORY
ReiteratiOn of the Report of "a Ma
rine Disaster.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Aug. 6.-Inspector
O'Reilly, of the revenue police, arrived here
to-day from Tilt cove. He states that he
examined the man, jenkins, who brought
the news there respecting the reported loss
of a line steamship. Jenkins, who lives at
Bryants cove, thirteen miles across Pen
gum peninsula, says a schooner from
Quirpon island, off the extremity of New
foundland, at the entrance to the Strait of
Belle Isle, arrived there and reported that
on the previous night while in the Strait
of Belle Isle she saw the lights of steamer
and heard terrible crash, followed quickly
by screams of victims of a marine dis
aster. Then there was absolute silence, as
If all had sunk. Jenkins walked across the
peninsula to convey the news, but had
neglected to question the crew of the
schooner closely as to details. He was
sent back by the officer to make further in
quiries, but the schooner had sailed again
for the fishing grounds. Inspector O'Reily
says that a majority of the people in that
section believe a disaster has occurred.

THE list NEW YORK.
Extenuating Circumstances for It's
Lnck of BraYerY.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Secretary Alger
said to-day that the information reaching
him showed there were extenuating circum-
stances in the case of those troops of the
Seventy-first New York Regiment accused
in General Kent's report of not advancing
promptly to the attack on Santiago. Men
returning from Santiago told the secretary
the irregularity occurred amid the noise and
confusion of the opening of the engage
ment. when the enemy was directing a
heavy fire against this point of our lines,
and a number of our troops carried black
powder guns instead of the more serviceable
Krag-Jorgensen. While the secretary does
not seek to justify the regiment, yet he
feels that they are entitled to have their
course viewed in the light of all the adverse
circumstances which operated against them
at the time of the battle. Speaking of the
Porto Rico campaign, the secretary said
that the entire force there would be sup
piled with Krag-Jorgensen guns, or else
smOkeleSs powder to use in such few
Springfields as might be carried in connec-
ticn with the Krag-JorgensenS The pur-
pose, however, is to arm the active troops
as rapidly as possible with the high class
modern arm.

Thousands in Need of Government Re-
lief at ST. Michaers.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aus. 6.-The steamer
Lenwa arrived to-day; twelve days from St
Michaels. She brought seven passengers
who returned without any gold Her pas
sengers report the conditions existing at ST.
Michaers as being extremely precarious.
They say that thousands of people are
stranded and that relief must be sent by
the government. Commercial companies
control the only available landing places at
St. Michaers ard vessels are unable to land
their passengers or their cargoes. The
Yukon is getting too low for navigation and
the distress will be very great unless the
government takes energetic relief action.

CONSOLIDATION SCHEME.
Vanderbilt Fast Freight Lines to Be
Merged Into Two Divisions.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The Times to-mor-
row will publish the following: Another
important step in the general scheme of con-
solidation of the Vanderbilt railroad in
terests was determined upon at a meeting
of the presidents and managers of the sew
eral railroads and fast freight lines, held
in the Grand Central Station last Friday.
President Galloway, OF the New York Cen
trail Railroad, announced to-day that the
eight fast freight lines which operate over
the railroads comprising the Vanderbilt sys-
tenn will at once be consolidated into two
divisions with general headquarters in
Buffalo. This step, it is expected, will re-
suit in large saving of expenses. 1t will
reduce the working forces now employed
by these freight lines more than one-half.
The eight fast freight lines connected with
the Vanderbilt roads are at present under
the supervision of five different managers,
as follows: The Red line, the White line
and Midland line managed by F. L.
Pomeroy, with headquarters at Buffalo; the
Blue line and the Canada Southern line by
G. G. Street, from Rochester; the
West Shore line by w. F. Wilson,
from Buffalo; the North Shore Dis
patch by w. j. Mann, from Detroit,
and the Nickel-plate by D. f. Jennings,
from Chicago These lines are to be so
consolidated that all that operate over the
New York Central Railroad and it's con-
nect.ons will constitute one system and all
operating over the West Shore Railroad
and its connections the other system. 1t is
likely that each individual freight line will
retain its name for the sake of convenience.
The New York Central system will include
the Red line, White line, Midland line, Blue
line and Canada Southern line The West
Shore system will include the North Shore
Dispatch ard the West Shore and the Nick
ef-nlata limos
