A List of Available Vessels Now Be-
ing Prepared.
The Navy Department is preparing list
of ships available for service in the Phil
ippines other than the nine already order
ed, or selected. for duty there Orders
were sent to the acting commandant OF the
Boston navy yard yesterday to put the
small cruiser Bancroft in condition for sea
service as soon as possible She will start
for Manila when this work has been
completed The advisabiiity of send
ing the auxiliary cruisers Panther
and Ranger is being considered.
The gunboat Scorpion, formerly the Sow
ereign, may go, although the naval author
tiles are not inclined to send vessels of her
tonnage built for use as yachts. The cruis-
er Atlanta will probably go. She has been
under repairs at the New York navy yard
for about four years, and is practically a
new vessel, and very fine one. The work
on the Atlanta will be finished very soon.
No efforts will be spared to carry out
Admiral Dewey's recommendation that a
big fleet for blockading purposes be sent
TO the Philippines. The lack of officers and
men is the most embarrassing thing that
the department has TO contend with in ef-
fecting the Admiral's policy. One plan
suggested Is to put out of commission some
of the big ships on the home stations and
distribute their officers and crews among
the smaller craft intended for Philippine
service

THE TRAFFIC. IN FREIGHT
The Industrial Commission Hears
Additional Testimony.
A. j. Nanlandingham Reviews the
Railroad Business of the Country
dial Legislation Suggested - Pool
Ing System Not Good for Shippers.

The Industrial Commission listened
throughout the day yesterday to the tes-
timony of A. ]. vanlandingham, commits
sioner of the ST. Louis Traffic Bureau. and
a recognized authority on all matters per-
tanning TO transportation, having beeen en-
gagged in and familiar with transportation
matters for more than twenty-eight years.
The organization of which he is at present
commissioner is composed OF $4,000 mem-
bers, mostly wholesale merchants. Mr..
Vanlandinghams experience has been
mostly in connection with freight traffic,
and his testimony pertained particularly
TO that branch.
After reviewing the railroad business of
the country, and pointing out many evils,
the witness suggested number of specific
amendments to the Interstate Commerce
law, thus putting his conclusions in clear
and precise form for the consideration of
| the Commission. He was unalterably op-
posed to Government ownership of rail-
roads, and said that the poorest service in
Europe was on roads controlled by the
Government, while the best service was by
roads owned and controlled by private In
diyiduais. Italy, he said, had leased her
roads to private companies after failing
to make a success of managing them
Optimistic of the Future.
Mr.. Vanlandingham was optimistic OF
the future of transportation in this coun-
try Conditions, he said, were continually
bettering themselves. We have the lowest
freight rates, taken as a whole, he declared,
of any country in the world. The Inter-
state Commerce law had been an expert
ment, but it had also been well worth ali
ii had cost. 1t was an excellent foundation
to build on and il amended from time to
time as necessity required, it would prove
| a sufficient remedy for all the evils that
may arise. Je
The witness was not in favor of legalizins
pooling. The system of pooling, he be-
lieyed, was not good either for railroads
or for shippers. 1t deprived the shipper OF
the right 10 say over which road his goods
might go, and this was a great hardship.
To illustrate this he said that merchant
dealing in poultry might have several ice
houses along the line between points OF
shipment for him, and was thus prepared
to ice his freight at reduced cost. In case
pooling were iegalized, he would nave moth
ing TO say as to which road his goods were
to go over, and it would doubtless entail
additional cost TO him for icing This was
only one illustration, and the witness said
that innumerable ones might be cited.
Mr.. Vanlandingham saw no evil in traffic
associations, declaring that their object was
to maintain uniform rate which was alike
beneficial TO the road and the shipper. He
regretted that the law was forced 10 pro-
hibit such associations as the Trans Mis-
souri, Association
In regard to local conditions the witness
said: ''St. Louis has been injured by dis
ordinations Of two sorts-by shipments

FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT.
An Increase in Alarms and the
Amount of Damage.

The report of the work of the Fire De-
rartment for the month of September was
received by the Commissioners yesterday.
During the month twenty three alarms of
fire were sounded, an increase of three
over the previous month, and a decrease
of six as compared with the same month
last year. Seventeen silent alarms were
turned in at the various engine houses, all
of which were answered by the depart
ment. The estimated loss by fire for the
month was $12.310, against loss of SO, $50
for the month previous
Several changes were made in the de-
partment during the month and number
of trials took place for breaches of dis
cipline. -Four persons were injured at
fires. one of these being hostler, who was
thrown from his engine and severely
bruised about the arms and back One in
stance which was not mentioned in the re-
port but which has frequently been allud-
ed to by persons connected with the de-
partment, is the remarkable record of the
month of September in previous years. 1t
is said that for a number OF years the
greatest losses by fire in this city occurred
in this month. Several instances were
cited in substantiating SIS statement, no.
tnbly the powerhouse fire four years ago,
and the fire at the corner of Twelfth
and i Streets northwest last year.

Wilson says:
The behavior Of our troops has been
generally excellent. Whatever friction has
occurred has been due to the fact that
some Of our less intelligent soldiers and

sion. and with the idea OF Americanizing
the country and imposing their ways and

the Minneapolis concern, says the Consul,

ments, and simply senFthe goods through

steamship line took advantage of the op-
portunity and made the excessive charge
of e2 IS 5000, to carry the goods across
the ocean. Mr.. Halstead wrote to the Ma
tional Association in regard to the matter
and their reply says, in part:
This particular case only shows how
little our manufacturers realize the i'm
portance, in opening foreign trade, OF
availing themselves of the proper facilities
for getting their goods to destination Had
this shipment passed through our hands

that has been altogether under American
management There has been very little
of the agricultural industry in Puerto
Principe, there being no way of getting the
product to market. The province was di-
vided into large ranches or holdings and
cattle raising became the most important
industry, as there was no difficulty in driv-
ing cattle to the coast or to the towns
1.-The Cubans seem 10 be a docile and
law-abiding people, especially among the
lower classes. Over two Thousand men
were paid SIS each by the paymaster, and
although this was in the midst of the San
Juan festivities or carnival when plenty
of misrule is allowed, there was no trouble
or misbehayior in consequence. 1t was i'm
possible to help making a comparison of
the conduct OF these people and the proba-
bility in case the same number of undis-
ciplined American soldiers had received
such an amount and under such eircum-
stances. While the lower classes have
shown themselves to be generally inclined
to be docile and quiet, efforts have been
made to stir them up by certain agitators
through newspapers and by speeches and
meetings These proceedings were watch
ed very closely for a considerable time,
but the conclusion was reached that these
demagogues cannot induce the people who
have work and whose families are pro-
adventure that would ieopardize their
present condition.
Conditions Satisfactory.
tThe Spaniards keep aloof from the Gu
bans socially and have nothing to do with
them. The former have their own club
and the latter two, to which they resort
great deal. 1t is believed that all OF the
( Spaniards and the Cubans who have prop
erty or anything to lose, are in favor OF
annexation TO the United States. AT pres
ent everything is quiet and the general
! condition satisfactory.
1.-The municipalities were self-sustaining
before the decree doing away with the
| tax on meat and articles of food, but they
are not so now. AS a large percentage of
/ the people OF Cuba are said to be unable
TO read or write, II seems imperative that
! liberal allotments should be made by the
General Government for schools and educa-
tion made compulsory. A careful system
OF education and schools should be pre-
pared as soon as possible"

MEXICAN MONEY ORDERS.
A System With This Country TO Go
Into Effect Next Year.

The Postofice Department has been in
formed by the Postmaster General OF Mex
leo that an international postoffiee money
order system between this country and
Mexico has been approved by the Mexican
Senate, and that il will go into effect on
January l. 1900. The negotiations which
have just been successfully concluded have
been carried on for twelve years The
point in controversy was the rate of con-
version into Mexican money OF orders is
sued in the United States. The ar
rangement provides that the amounts
of the orders drawn in Mexico are to
be converted into United States money
at the value OF such money quoted
in the City of Mexico on the day of issue
of the order; and in like manner the
amounts OF orders drawn in the United
States are 10 be converted into Mexican
money
The conversion is supervised by the rep

ernments, namely. Neuvo Laredo. for
