leave before an international question is raised as to their presence in Canada.
 The CarranZa letter detailing his spy system was communicated to the Brit ish Ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote, together with all other information bearing on the operations of the Span ish in Canada The Ambassador was quick to act, and without awaiting the slow process of the mail he cabled the entire matter to the Foreign Office. No doubt Is entertained as to the speedy action of the authorities at London, now that a specific case has been made out against the Spanish officials in Canada. They would have taken the initiative ere this had there been any, thing more than suspicion as to the operations of Carranza and Du Bose. and the British officials will move quickly and of their own volition toward securing adequate redress.
 The State Department has not cabled to Ambassador Hay, not deem1ng 1t ne- cessary to do more than simply lay the facts before the British Ambassador here. It is expected Lord Salisbury will call the attention of the Spanish Gov
 ernmen to the undesirability of having Messrs. Carranza and Du Bose remain in Canada longer, as the operations are so obviously hostile to the United States. This, however, may become un- necessary if the Spanish officials with draw from Canada, for there appears to be no disposition to prosecute them nor to give them an enforced expulsion so long as they are willing to close their operations and depart. The Brit ish statutes, as well as those of Canada, have specific provision against the use of British or Canadian territory by for eigners temporarily seeking asylum there as the base of hostile operations against countries with which Great Britain and her colonies are at peace.
 About week ago an effort was made by the Spanish officials to enlist the

CERTAIN TO ExPEL CARANzA

NEW YORK, June 5.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald says: A high official of the Government. speaking to me to-day. said he had no doubt Caranza's presence in Canada partook of the same offensive nature as if one of Spain's ships were in Eng lands neutral ports. This official said this country had made due demand of England in the premises and had no doubt that within a few days Caranza would be forced to leave British soil.
 For" said he, England cannot un- der any principle of international law allow within its borders an organized conspiracy, as divulged by Caranza's letter against the peace and comfort of a friendly nation"

The members of the Minkakwa Repub-

David Jones of the U. S. Grant Associa-
ton were present as guests. The En-

means the place of good crossing"
Gentlemen, the name means the place

TRACK HLEVA ALTON.
Work is Being Pushed Rapidly
Arrangements for
Freight.

There has been more or less speculation
as to what progress the Erie Railroad
Company was making in the direction of
elevating its tracks. Except to those liv-
ms. in the Immediate Vicinity of the COM
pany's yards in this city, It would seem
that the company was doing little or
nothing in this direction. hi truth is,
work is being pushed forward rapidly.
The undertaking itself is a gigantic
one, and thssamount Of preliminary work
to be done before the actual work of rails
ing the tracks commences is really enor-
nous. Only here and there one sees ac-
tual evidence of the company's intention
to elevate its tracks. Ever the mammoth
new freight station, the walls of which
are just beginning to go up on the south
Side of Pavonia avenue, between Barnum
and Kelso streets, would not be evidence
of coming track elevation to the unini-
tiated. 1t is one of many improvements
which must be complete before the work
of track raising commences.
1.-THE proposed elevation of the Fries
tracks between the tunnel and Provost
street, said Chief Engineer c. w. Buch-
holz. yesterday, s'necessitates the aban-
donment of present locaffreight facilities
and the substitution thertfor of these fa-
mcilities at other points. The local business
now being done at Eleventh street, be-
tween Brunswick and Coles street, will
hereafter be done in the new yard now
being constructed on the
branch, Immediately west OF Monmouth
street. between Twelfth and Sixteenth
streets, and local business now being done
at the old freight house on Tenth street.
between Grove and Henderson streets,
will hereafter be done at the new freight
house. south of Pavonia avenue. between
Provost and Kelso streets. The local
tracks for carload deliveries heretofore
used east of Provost street and north of
Payonia avenue, nave had to be aban-
doncd and the business heretofore
done there is now being done in
a yard to the rear of the new freight sta
ton now in course of construction on the
south side of Pavonia avenue, and be-
tween that building and the Erie grain
elevator.
.aThe elevation of the tracks" resumed
the Chief Engineer, " also necessitates
the relocation of the present locomotive
coaling station in Jersey City. AT pres
ent it is located on the northern boundary
of the property at Twelfth street. The
new coaling station will be located 200
feet north of Pavonia avenue between
Rarnum and Kelso streets. This change
alone. including machinery for hosting,
cost about S35. 600.
sThe old freight station house on Tenth
street. between Grove n Henderson
streets, will be abandoned. 1t has not yet
been decided what is to be dom with it.
It may probably come down
$50 you see the preliminary work of
the Undertaking of raising the tracks
going ahead with the work as rapidly as
POSSIBLE.

heads of the State departments, the
Judges of the higher courts, the county

duty attaching TO ms once
In the case of Governor Griggs, notnlhs
had more TO do with rolling up the large
majority that the people gave him mar Il

IT is not surprising that queer rumors
began to be heard upon the street within
half an hour after the postponement of
the Noonan-Simpson trial yesterday. One
was to the effect that the prosecution
was to be dropped-quietly allowed to die
out of sight, Noonan and Simpson agree
ing not to sue the journal" for libel.
Another story was to the effect that the
Prosecutor believed it could not convict
on the evidence, but hoped that after
the Gledhiil Committee had 4sgot in some
of its fine work. it would be easier to
win the case.
OF course both of these stories were
more or less untrue, but they were freely
discussed and many persons expressed
belief in one or the other.
