the wages of 5000 coal miners of the Ten

Proposed Street Railroad Consolidation
in Eastern Massachusetts,.

Mr.. Morse, of the firm of E. Rollins
Morse & Brother, brokers, confirms the
report that plans are maturing for the gen
eral consolidation of the electric street
roads IN eastern Massachusetts,. The de-
sired properties have been secured, subject
to reports of experts now examining them.
The consolidation will take in all roads
south and north of Boston, about % in
number, from the northern boundary of
Massachusetts, to the extreme southern
point of Rhode Island The roads west of
Boston connecting with Worcester will not
be included. The consolidated capitaliza-
ton will be based on the actual cost of the
properties, with sufficient additional to
provide for the retirement of the floating
debts of the roads taken in and any i'm
provements that may be needed, as shown
by the experts report. The proposed issue
of stock is divided into four per cent cum
ulative preferred and common stock.
There will be no bonds, and the stock is
free from taxation under the Massachu-
sets laws.

Interest In Dewey Hall.

There is coming to President Brown of
Mortified expressions of interest in the
Dewey memorial hall from prominent men
all over the country. President McKinley's
letter has already been published in these
columns. 1t will be interesting to note a
few more similar expressions.
Gov. Theodore Roosevelt of New York
writes; 81 can conceive nothing more ap-
propriate than the erection of such hall in
honor of the great sea captain whose name
stands second to that of Farragut alone on
the roll of the American navy; and if he
is given a chance at any other foe, think
he will outrank even Farragut."
Gov. Roger Wolcott of Massachusetts,
writes: 81 trust that the purpose to erect
suitable memorial to be known as Dewey
hall in honor of the gallant admiral who
achieved such success and fame for our
navy, may be successful. 1t seems most
fitting that such a memorial should be
erected at the university where he studied
and where to all future students it may
serve to perpetuate the memory of his dis
tinguished services.
Gov. Rollins of New Hampshire. 81
would say that the proposal to erect suit
able memorial building to be known as
Dewey hall, seems to be an admirable idea
and l trust it will be carried out"
Senator Chauncey M. Depew." Admiral
Dewey is entitled to every honor which his
countrymen can accord to him. There can
be no more appropriate memorial of his
distinguished service than hall at the un-
iversity where he was graduated. Besides
its value TO the institution, it would be a
perpetual incentive TO patriotism to sue
ceeding generations of students"
Capt. Henry W. Hovey, Company L.
oath United States infantry, has been or
dered with his company to Alaska to re,
lieve two companies of the 14th United
States infantry, which are to join the rest
of the regiment at Manila. Mrs. Hovey and
the children will probably remain at North
field during the captains absence.
DR.. w. S. Webb is building an addition
to his mansion at Shelburne Farms. 1t

Rack from Manila.

The United States cruiser Buffalo ar
rived at New York Sunday from Manila,
after very quick run of A days, includ
ing stops at Singapore, Port Said and Glib
raltar. The Buffalo brought about 500
officers and men of Admiral Dewey's squad
ron, mostly long-term men whose time has
long run out. They will be landed at the
navy yard and discharged.
