CHINESE EASTERN RAILROAD.
The Equipment of the Line May De
bought in America.

New York, July 2L.-The Russian chief
engineer of the mechanical department OF
the Chinese Eastern Railroad, V. A.
Kashevnikoff, who has been in the United
States for several months, left here yes
terday for Harbin in Manchuria, where the
temporary machine shops Of the railway
are. He will reach there in about two and
one-half months. During his stay in this
county he has ordered s25e 600 worth of
tools, sending some of them overland to
the Pacific in order to secure quick deliv-
cry, although that means largely increased
freight rates. The builders of the road are
in great haste for all materials
MIR. Kashevnikoff said that so per cen.
of the entire equipment of the road would
be purchased in this country, or that $10,-
600 900 out of the $12. 1000, 000 appropriated
would be spent here, but only On the con-
dition of haste.
In an interview which appears this
morning in the New York Commercial"
Mr.. Kashevnikoff says: ''All of this (the
purchase OF the equipment), however, is
contingent upon the manufacturers of this
country being little less exacting as to
prices, which are at present in many ins
stances higher than those of the English
and the Germans. There is also the draw
back Of retarded delivery to be taken into
consideration, as / find the increase of
prices does not OF necessity mean prompt
delivery. 1t would be well to remember
that the English and Germans are at this
moment making considerable. headway by
reason of prompt delivery and if American
manufacturers do not take stress to be
more reasonable as to prices and delivery
the orders may go elsewhere"

ARGENHINA'S new TARIFF
Minister Buchanan Repors to the
State Department.
National Needs Compel the Continu-
alton of the Special Customs Tax.
Ten Per Cent Additional Duty Rec
commended by the Executive Pow
er-ScheduIe Likely to Be Adopted.

William L. Buchanan, American Minister
at Buenos Ayres. writes to the State De-
partment as follows about the proposed
Argentine tariff:
Knowing the interest taken by our man
ufacturers in the subject of the customs
tariff here and in other countries, l hasten
TO say that the Argentine executive has just
transmitted TO Congress the budget law for
next year This law includes the customs
tariff project proposed by the executive
mower for 1900. Although this may be
modified in some manner by Congress, / am
inclined to the belief that the recommenda-
tions will be adopted.
'.In referring TO the message accompany
ing the budget law on the question of GUS
toms duties, and especially to the addi-
tionai customs duty of 10 per cent now III
force, the executive power says:
This special tax was established in
moments of supreme expectancy in the
name of high and sacred considerations of
national security and with the purpose Of
applying the product therefrom toward sat-
isfying the extraordinary requirements Of
powers obligated themselves as well to sus-
pend the tax by decree as quickly as the
then existing state of things disappeared
or became modified.
These considerations, fortunately, do
not now exist, but find myself Obliged to
propose the continuation of the financial
burden which this additional duty i'm
poses upon the country, seeing that, al
though no reason of national security ar
CUES its imposition. there is still to be
Cancelled debt of importance. previously
contracted, the object of which is well
known. Notwithstanding, in order to make
this additional duty less onerous, 1 have
sought to distribute the sums which it
represents among the principal schedules
Of tariff law, seeking to tighten those that
are found most heavily burdened and to
burden those that are less; and, after
comprehensive study, / believe that the
method contained in the proposed customs
law reporting, as far as possible, the in
terests of the consumer and the revenue
necessities of the state
IN accord with the views thus express
ed the executive power recommends that
the 10 per cent additional duty spoken of
be merged for 1900. into the regular duty
in the following manner: Where the pres
ent ad valorem duty. is % per cent, 1t is to
be raised to 35 per cent; where 1t is now
so per cent it is to be raised to GO per cent;
where it is now 40 and 45 per cent, both
are to be raised to so per cent; where 1t is
now Is and 20 per cent, both are to be
raised to % per cent; where 1t is now 10
per cent it is to be raised to 20 per cent;
and where it is now 21-2 and per cent
both are to be raised to per cent.
Specific duties are to be proportionate-
ly raised, but it is impossible from the
message to state Just how or to what de-
gree. On this point the executive power
says: With regard to specific duties the
increases fixed In the project are based on

POISON IN THE MILK.
A Mother and Two Children Stricken
in Brooklyn.

New York, July 27-Mrs. Dora Bell,
twenty-eight years old, of 20S Tenth Street,
Brooklyn, and her two children, Dorothy.
three and half years old, and Wilfred,
sixteen months old, were taken violently
ill after drinking milk yesterday after
noon. DR.. Millington said the symptoms
presented were those of arsenical poison.
The family and the police are in the dark
as to whom to suspect Of an attempt on
the lives of Mrs. Bell and her little ones.
The Bells occupy the first fiat at the
Tenth Street address. William Bell. the
husband, is a machinist, employed in Man
haitian. He was at work when his wife
and children became ill.
Employed in the family as a servant is
Dora Franklyn, seventeen years old She
did not drink any of the milk and was not
made i'll.
Dora Franklyn purchased the milk at q
grocery at 1 O'Clock in the afternoon. Fiji
teen minutes later Mrs. Bell and her two
little ones, having drunk freely of the milk,
were in agony. The child Dorothy became
unconscious.
Screaming with fright. Dora Franklyn
ran to summon DR.. Millington. She almost
dragged him from his Office to the home of
the Bells.
After an emetic had been given her. Mrs.
Bell speedily recovered. She soon was In
a condition to aid in the restoration of her
children, the baby also having become un-
conscious. Both children were blue at the
lips, and DR.. Millington summoned a neigh
boring physician The second doctor, with
Mrs. Bell, worked over the baby boy Dr.
Millington devoting all his attention to
Dorothy. The boy was pronounced out OF
danger in less than two hours.
1t was not until after three hours Of dill
gent and heroic treatment that Dorothy be-
gan to show signs of life Finally restored
to consciousness. she required medical at
tendance until nearly midnight On leav-
ing the house DR.. MiIlington said there was
every reason to believe the girls life could
be saved
At the earliest opportunity Dr. Millington
communicated with Capt. David Lawson,
Of the Fifth Avenue police station. Detsc-
tives DoIan and Jepson went to the house
and obtained a sample of the milk for anal
ysis.
Il cannot account for it, said Mr. Bell
last night. Il know of NO person who
should wish to harm me or mine. We do
not keep poisons of any kind in the house
II the physicians diagnosis be correct, 1t
may have been that the poison got acci-
dentally into the milk. I can take no other
view of the matter The police share this
view Of the case.
81 am positive the case is one OF arsenicai
poisoning" said DIR. SIiliington. That
Mrs Bell and her little ones survived is
remarkable"
That Dora Franklyn did not drink of the
milk Mrs. Bell said, was not surprising.

NEW YoRK's CANAL SCANDAL.
Comptroller Morgan DisallOws the
CIaim of n Contractor.

Albany. \. Y, July 27.-Predictions that
the canal scandal could not be smoothed
over by a report of mot proven from the
special attorneys are coming true without
delay
Comptroller Morgan has begun an inves
tigation of the contracts under which work
has been reported as completed, and at the
very outset he refuses to pay the balance
of S39. .057 claimed by by T. ]. Dwyer &
Co. He declares the contract illegal, and
asserts that the firm is indebted to the
State s44,9ss on the work.
There are a large number of other con-
tracts uussr examination, and, while some
of them may be found legitimate, it is be-
Iieved by the comptroller that many Of the
balances claimed will be refused for reasons
similar TO those which prevailed in the case
cited. That the result will be protracted
litigation is expected, and the probing of
the various contracts is more than likely to
lay bare, many an arrangement under
which the, nine million-dollar appropriation
was wasted and the State lost large sums
This new outbreak of the canal scandal
was brought about by request from Su-
perintendene L Partridge, of the Public
Works Department, for information as to
whether there were funds on hand to pay
the balances demanded by contractors as
due on completed work under seven con-
tracts on the Middle Division and four on
the Eastern Division The total OF the
claims is S252 GA and Colonel Partridge
asked the Comptroller if he had knowledge
of any facts that would cause him to refuse
to honor drafts for the claims.
Comptroller Morgan's reply will fall like

j. Dwyer & Co., whose proposal for the
work was $125,528 and whose final esti-
mate amounted to 1901, ,155. He finds that
David l. Smell, one OF the firm, was also an
employe of the Public Works Department
when the contract was let, and that this
fact Of itself under the Canal law rendered
the contract void.
The work done cost the State about e40
per cent in excess OF the amount bid on
which the contract was awarded. This was
due largely to an arrangement" made
between the engineers and contractors in
reference to the disposition of excavated
material, which cost the State $50, ,6SS. and
which Comptroller Morgan declares was
Illegal. 1t increased the .embankment
charged from 1000 yards to $3.50 yards
Another arrangement Increased the
vertical wall charges from 1900 yards to
9,S27 yards. There were other increases,
and the comptroller figures the total OF IL
legal charges at sS4,045 on the contract.
After quoting the canal investigating COM
mission and the findings of former Judge
Countryman, Comptroller Morgan So .:

Hundred Miles, He Sails to Para,
Thence to New York, and VIII
Now Cross the Isthmas of Panama.

New York. July 27.-It Is rather round
to another by way of New York, but such
a journey is now being essayed by a party
of Peruyians who arrived here yesterday
by the steamship Maranhense. Although
the town of Truxillo is only about 900
miles from Iquitos, the interior point from
which they took their departure six weeks
ago, they believe they can reach their
destination more comfortably, if not more
quickly. by the 9,0o0-mile journey which
they are now undertaking.
The family consists of Sener Noises Vas
quez Ponce, his wife, and their four chill
dren-Carlos, Maniula, Julio, and Emma.
Senior Ponce owns a large rubber pIanta-
flows through the northeastern part of
Peru and empties into the Amazon.
Truxillo, a seaport of Peru, is about 400
miles distant from the town of Iquitos,
near which the plantation is located. But
the route to the coast lies over a mountain
range, and. not wishing to essay the hard
ships of horseback journey over the
mountain trails and through district that
Is now disturbed, Senior Ponce concluded
to travel across the continent, embark at
Para, Brazil, for New York. then go by
steamer to Colon. cross the isthmus of
Panama and take steamer down the
coast to Truxillo:
The family accordingly embarked on a
little river steamer, which brought them to
the Amazon, where they transferred to a
larger vessel, and, steaming down the Am
aZon, reached Para, where they took pas
sage on the steamship Maranhense for this
port. sstts
At the Hotel America, where they are
now stopping pending the sailing of the
steamship which is TO take them to Colon,
the family attracted much curiosity yes
terday, more through the presence of its
retinue of Indian servants than by rea-
son of the strange journey. The servants
are barefooted and brown, and were sun
worshipers before they were sold into SER
vice to the Ponce family.
Two of them are en-year-old girls, Es-
trelvina Herrara and Mercedes Ruiz.
third, Roldan Ruiz, is seven-year-
boy.
In speaking of them yesterday, Sonora
Ponce said that they were unkempt little
savages when, they were first taken into
service. BY degrees they were tanned into
dociIity, and are now obedient and faith
full. They wilt serve the family until they
are twenty-one ysars old, when they will
regain their freedomsi s.
