VIII Make Extensive Improvements-The
Contracts Already Let.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
decided to make some extensive and
important improvements in Fairmont,
w. Va. At this point the Fairmont,
Morgantown and Pittsburg and the
Monongahela railroad branches join
the main line. The two roads, espec-
tally the latter, touch very extensive
coal fields and the shipments aggregate
hundreds of cars daily.
1t is proposed to double the track
age facilities and erect new passenger
and freight stations. Contracts were
let last week for the grading.
The passenger station will be hand
some and commodious and located on
the bank of the Monongahela river, en-
trance being secured from the suspen-
sion bridge on an easy stairway.
The freight house will be near the
old one and arrangements made for
loading cars from wagons. Neither
station can be completed before spring
on account of inability to secure struc-
tural iron. The improvements will
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000 to
100000.

list of the navy and the employees OF the

are several thousand OF these men, and
with q small appropriation and an annual
drill for few days each year, they would
be competent the report says. TO take up
their duties Immediately upon the out

in charge of each lighthouse district, and
an officer in charge at the Navy Depart

the nearest navy yard for use this neces-
sary adjunct of war could be put In work
ing order in twentyfour hours
During the past year the Legislature Of
Maine passed a law for the establishment
of the naval militia, as did the State OF
Minnesota.
The department undertook to AFFORD the
naval militia Of the country an opportunity
to drill at sea under service conditions. and
the offer was accepted by the governors of
all but one of the States having militia
organizations. The report states in detail

NAVAL MILITIA.
Important Recommendations as to
Change in Organization Made TO
Secretary Long by Assistant
Secretary Allen.

WASHINGTON. November 12.-The lead
ing feature of the annual report of Assist
ant Secretary Allen, to Secretary Long, re-
lative TO the naval militia, is his strong
endorsement of the plan for the organiza-
ton of a national naval reserve. He points
out that the experience of the past year
has suggested certain changes in the ORR
ginal plan for this organization as con-
tanned in the bill submitted to the last
session of Congress, and he therefore
urges that 1t be again pushed with the
amendments prepared by Lieut.. Comman-
der W. H. H. Switzerland, who was for a
part of the year in direct charge of the
naval militia bureau of the Navy Depart
ment. In substance that officer says that
as the personnel act has made the term OF
service of enlisted men in the navy four
years the same period should be fixed for
the enrolment in the naval reserve. Some
provision should be made by which the
naval reserve officers should be promoted

WAS the Result of His Recent Acci-
dent In Washington.

Washington, March 1.-Baron Farrer
Herschel, one of the commissioners from
Great Britain on the joint high commits
sion recently in session here to adjust diff
ferences between the United States ana
Canada. died quite suddenly at 7:05
o'clock this morning at the Shoreham Ho-
tel, where he had been confined to his bed
for several weeks with a broken bone,
caused by a fan on slippery sidewalk.
Lord Herschel's death came without
warning, Except for the pain incident to
the fracture OF his leg, which occurred on
Feb. 10, he has been in excellent health
and spirits and up to almost the hour
OF his death there We're no premonltory
symptoms OF the coming end He had re-
ceiveh visitors every day, and had en-
joyed seeing his friends and taking with
them.
At the time OF the accident trained
nurse was procured from Baltimore, and
on account OF his helplessness, had been
with him almost constantly, especially at
night, when she never left his room. Al,
about o'clock this morning his lordshp
awakened and called to the nurse, who
found him breathing heavily. After re-
celving some attentions he said he felt
better and again went to sleep.
A little after G O'Clock he again called
tne nurse ana Sald ne Ielt Ill ana COM
planned of great pain in his chest below
the heart Dr. w. w. Johnston was hast
lily summoned and after hurried exam
ination dispatched a messenger for DR..
Maddox, who Joined him in a few minutes.
The pain, however, did not yield to treat
ment, and at 1905 O'clock his lordship
breathed his last.
In answer 10 inquiries the physicians
said they were unable to give tho exact
cause OF death, but the symptoms, they
thought, indicated THAI It was angina pee
toris. His lordshp's family. who with the
exception of his son, Richard, at OK
ford is in the South of France have been
cabled the sad news. IL Is assumed that
the body viii be sent TO England as soon
as possible, but no definite arrangements
have yet been made
The Secretary or State cabled MIR. Cho-
ate, our ambassador at London, as fol-
lows:

PEACE TREATY THREATENED.
Would BE Good Thing for Us If
Spain Failed to Ratify IL.

Washington, March 1.-The situation In
the Spanish Cortes, leading up to the res
ignation of the sagasta ministry and
threatening the life OF the peace treaty,
is said by officials here to be the direct re-
suit of bad management on the part of
the sponsors for the treaty.
Il Is said that there was no requirement,
either domestic or included in the treaty
itself. for the submission of the conven>
ton to the Cortes for ratification, On
the contrary the text of the treaty says
that it should be ratified by the Queen
Regent.
1t is further said that this very point
was discussed by the peace commission
ers at Paris, the Spanish commissioners
desiring TO require the ratification of the
Cortes, but finally taking the other course,
perhaps with view to avoiding the very
trouble which has overcome Sagasta.
Leaving aside the desire of our people
to be regular and correct in all attitudes,
il is question whether our government
would MOI actually profit by the loss OF
the treaty, provided this loss could be
charged to the action of the Spanish gov.
eminent.
The United States, ii can be stated on the
highest authority, would refuse to sur
render the Philippines. and on the other
hand would be relieved from the treaty
obligation to pay the Spanish government
$40, 100000 on account of the cession of the
islands. Cuba would retain her present
status and all that would be lacking would
be a recognition by the Spanish govern
ment of the legality of that status That
lack would not be of serious moment.
In case the treaty should fail, there also
would be a continuation of the state of
non-intereourse diploma tically that has ex-
listed since the outbreak Of the war and
technically and as the legal fiction has it,
the two countries would be sim at war.
This state of affairs, though really en-
barrassing in some respects, would not
prevent trade between the United States
and Spain. Trade, in fact, has been re-
sumed already.

GOMEZ is WELL SATISFIED.
Believes Cuba VIII BE Free as Soon
as 1t Can BE Made So.

Havana, March 1-Gen. Gomez, in re-
ply TO question to-day as to how long
the American military occupation of Cuba
would last, said:
II have talked with che American gen.
erals and high authorities and am deeply,
truly convinced that there is no doubt
whatever that the United States will 10y
ally keep it's promise that Cuba will be
free ana independent. Some Cubans 90
not recognize the fact that such a radl-
cal change of government cannot be made
as rapidly as they desire"
This morning at the Hotel Trocha, Gen.
Gomez had a conference with the gov
ernor general. 1t is understood that the
military authorities have requested the
authorities at Washington TO send to Cuba
the $S.O00,O00 which is to be distributed
among the Cuban troops.
The details of the conference cannot be
made public in the United States just
yet, because their repetition to Cuba by
cable might create Local feeling and render
more difficult the work in hand
1t is expected, however, that the Gu
bans will not recognize the Cuban sol
ders who took the field after the signing
of the peace protocol

pie has surrendered and our government
maintains it's independence and will not
yield.
"A Filipino telegram from Cebu asserts

trusting that their action will be brought
before the foreign consuls, with the view
of arranging an equitable settlement with
the Americans"

Baltimore, March THE following Of
fetal statement was given out here to-
day:
John s. Williams & Co, of Richmond,
Va, and Middendorf, oliver & Co, of Bal
timore, for themselves and associates,
have purchased of W. Bayard Cutting and
r. Fulton Cutting. of New York, major
ity of the stock of the capital stock of the
Florida Central and Penlnsular Railroad.
THE Messrs. Cutting have secured for
all other stockholders of the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsular the privilege of selling
their minority stock on terms giving them
full protection.
1T Is understood that no changes will
be made Immediately in the management
of the company, although Il is believed
that later on plans will be developed look
ing to a closer union between the Florida
Central and Peninsuar Railroad, the Geor-
gia and Alabama Railroad and the Sea-
board Air Line, all three of which are now
owned and controlled by the purchasers
of the Florida Central and Peninsular
Railroad
Others who Were Interested.
1t Is understood that the associates, of
which mention is made In the announce
ment, Include the Baltimore Trust and
Guarantee Company, the Mercantile Trust
and Deposit Company, II. Irving Keyser
and Harry NJ Parr of this city; the Prod
uce Exchange Trust Company of New
York ana the Richmond Trust and De-
posit Company of Richmond, Va. These
corporations and gentlemen formed the
syndicate which recently bought a controll-
ing interest IN the Seaboard Air Line.
They now control 2,S4521 miles of rail-
road.
The ultimate plan of the syndicate is
probably TO obtain a good Northern con-
nection, so that the service win extend
from the extreme South to New York The
lines already controlled, and with which
traffic arrangements are operative, extend
as far north as Quantico, Va. eighteen
miles from Washington. 1t Is believed
that this gap, franchise for which has
already been secured, will be constructed
In the near future, and that the new sys-
TEN will connect at Washington with the
Baltimore and Ohio, thus making a
through line from New York to Southern
Florida.
