WORK FOR THE AMERICAN LOCO
 MOTIVE.

The announcement that the Russian government has made a contract with an American locomotive works for elghty-nine locomotives for the Trans Siberian railroad, together with the re- port that the Chinese government has decided that the railway concession granted to an American syndicate is the most important railway enterprise. ln China and should be constructdu7 as early as possible, is an event that presageS the greatest period of railway development in the worlds history l. is also significant of the fact -hat American capital and industry are to be most important factors in that de- velopment
 The same firm which will supply lo- cQmotives for the Russian railway has closed contracts for twenty IOcon. De- tives for Sweden, ten for France, ftf-- teen for Egypt and ten for the Midland railway of England. If American fac tories are to build locomotives for Eng
 fish railways there is no reason wuy they should not have a hand in cpen- ing to commerce and civilization the dark continent. Probably the most colossal railway project now on foot is that of Cecil Rhodes, which has just been perfected, and which provides for the building of a railway along the backbone of Africa The proposed route is from Vryburg iE South Be-

l sDicuous by their absence from the off, cial lists of British peers.
 The fact of the matter is that these titles Of Lord belong by right of of fee to the judges of the supreme court of Scotland. When lawyer is raised to this highest point Of the legal pro fession in Scotland he is forced by req son of his ojce to assume the title If lord. and has his choice between !e- taining his own patrOnymif or chOOs- ing some territorial title. his wife, however, does not share his hcnors, and retains the family name. Thus ths patronymic of Lord Kincairney is Gloag, and his wife remains Mrs. Glcag. The family name of Lord Xii lachy is MackintOsh, and his wife, Mrs Macintosh, is one of the leaders of society in Edinburg. Lord McLaren, on the other hand, has retained his patronymic, and his wife is Mrs. Me Larsn.
 Lord Kingsburghs family name is Macdonald, and being, in addition to a Scottish judicial lord, knight of the Bath, his wife is Lady Macdonald.
 1 am mere than glad of the OppOrtun- ity to make this explanation. as there was story in the newspapers here the ether day about a man wAO got into trouble, and who declared that he was 6 brother of Lord Kinnear. The title was sought in vain in the British peec- age, and as it could net be found. he man was set down as a fraud, whereas he had probably spoken the truth, Lord Kinnear being a Scotch law lord and not a peer.
 Of course the Scotch law lords have no seat in the house of lords, nor any precedence as peers. They are not even life peers, but only titular lords The difference existing between their titles and the names of theie wives has on more than one occasion led inn keepers in Wales and in Ireland to re- fuse, on the score of propriety, 10 ac- cord them accommodation, declining to believe the story that Lord Kin cairney could possibly be the lawful husband of Mrs. Gloag dc FOntenoy in Washington Pest.

THE GOSSIP OF
 FOREIGN CAPITALS

Archbishop Keane, the ex-rsctor ot the Roman Catholic university al Washington, has become a colleague and a member of the same chaptcr as the new president of the French re- public. For the archbishop is canon of the Basiica of St Jchn Latran at Rome. and so, too, is the president ot the French republics For several hun- dred years the rulers of France. no matters whether kings, emperors. die tators. first consuls Or presidents cf re publics, have enjoyed, by virtue q their office, seat in the chapter or thls ancient Roman cathedral as one oI It's canons In fact, the robes and eccle- siastical insignia of a canon Of tee n9- man Catholic church constitute, str1ct- lv speaking. the only official s1rb which President Lcubet can, for the present, claim as his right to wear. Time and again has the question of providing the chief magistrate Of the French republic with some kind of uniform been discussed, with the ob- jact of relieving him of the disagree able necessity of donning evening dress by broad daylight on all official Ccca- sions. But nothing has ever come Of it. and the president of the republic remains without any official dress of any kind to which he is entitled eX- cept the gaTb of a canon of St. John l-atran of Rome
 It was owing to the fact of President Faure having been a canon of this bas iIica that a memorial service was eel ebrated there in his honor by Cardinal Satolli. Incidentally it may be stated that invitations to functions of this kind and to all other official ceremonies emanating from the French embassy accredited to the Vatican are ccUched in a very royal and un-repub,ican style For just in the same way that in monarchical countries the invita- tions by royalty are sent in their name by the master or grand mistress of the household, Cr by some great dignirary Of the court, So do the invitations from the French embassy at the Vatican in innate that '"The gentleman-in-waitinS is commanded by the ambassador of France to request the honor of this or that personage's presence.
 The French ambassador at the Vati- can Is the only embassy that can r'- call which has waiting on the members Of it's staff. The clts- tom has it's origin in the fact that car dinals, who claim to rank with princes Of the blood, have always had gentle men-in-waiting, while France has al ways insisted that her ambassador at the holy seat was in every respect the equal in rank and entitled to the same privileges as the cardinals
 So jealous have the French ambassa- dors always shown themselves Of this right to the same privileges as the car dinals that they claimed some Of the a alters prarn0afiupS iol1 ,Nf eval origin, are totally unsuited to the conventionalities and requirements of foreign civilization
 
 While on the subject of Rome, I may mention that Mgr. Lauza. chaplain of the Superga, or royal mausoleum of the reigning house of Italy, near Turin. has been appointed grand almoner and chief chaplain to King HunberJ and Queen Marguerite in the place of the late Mgr. AnZino. In my sketch Of the

SPANISH OFFICERS
IN REBEL SERVICE

New York, April 5.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says: The Span
ish war minister received information
on Saturday that a large number of
Spanish officers who had been prisoners
in the hands of the Tagalos had enter
ed the service Of the latter Among
the prisoners were some of the chiefs
of the Spanish generals staff and Of
ficers of artillery. In Spanish military
circles this is held to explain the mil
itary organization of the Tagalos
against the Americans which has
heretofore been inexplicable. The fol-
lowing semi official note is published
by the Journal, which is friendly to
Silvela:
Rumor has reached the government
to the effect that certain general Off
GERS who We're thought to be in cap
t1V1ty nave come to an arrangement
with the rebels. The government has
no proofs that this statement is exact
but If 1t We're so everybody would un-
derstand that the fault lies with the
Americans, for they have from the be
ginning prevented and negotiations for
the liberation of the prisoners and have
placed the latter in the position of hav-
isg to die of hunger or find some means
of support to life. Under such circum.
stances it need not be thought surpris-
ing that individually some prisoners
may have entered the service of the
TagaloS.

Manila, April 5, 9:35 a. m.---The in

half miles northwest of Malolos, and

point and at San Fernando, where Ag-

strengthen both positions. The Mon

three wounded yesterday. Twenty
