A WOEBEGONE COUNTRY.
Life In Algeria as an English Writer
Describes 1t.

Describes III.
The Algerian question, says
writer in the London Times, is de-
pendent not upon men, but upon
simple physical phenomenon, ques-
ton of temperature, matter with
which God alone can deal. If Algeria
were 2 degrees farther south or
10 degrees farther north, all would
be changed. Instead of region,
which is neither European nor CO.
lonial, we should have the most
marvellous country in the world. 1t
would beat Santo Domingo, Ceylon
and India, because, being at the very
doors of France, As hours from Paris
and so from Brussels and London, it
would be suburb of Europe,
whittier $1,000, 900 or 10000, 900 of
emigrants would come to cultivate
coffee, indigo, vanilla, sugar, cotton,
pepper-in a word, all colonial prod
ucts. On the other hand, if it were
situated 10 degrees farther to the
north Algeria, whose virgin soil con-
tains mineral wealth at present in
capable of exploitation, would rival
Normandy, Auvergne, Beoune and
Picardy, as we'll as the plains OF Bel
GUM. 1t would be the land flowing
with milk and honey of the Scrip,
lures and would contain no longer
population of 10000, 900 to 25,000,-
900, but after so years one Of 50,-
900, 900 or 100000. 1t would be-
come an empire-the African en-
pire.
But, as it is, what is the condition
of AlgeriaG The sugar cane has no
sugar; it is inferior bamboo. The
coffee berry is empty. The cotton
is too short for spinning. The cocoa
palm is incapable of bearing fruit.
The indigo plant comes ta nothing.
The pineapple does not ripen- A

wormy, even the banana being

oranges, but the wine is harsh and
rough, the sugar OF the grape not
being capable of being entirely con-
verted into alcohol and carbonic
acid. In short, there is a rebuff all
along the line.

THE PHILIPPINES sITUA TION.
Military Authorities Believe There Ii Dan

WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-Little effort is now
made to hide the grave feeling Of apprehen
sion in official quarters over the situation in
the Philippines The military authorities de-
cline TO talk freely on the subject. but they show
that they are worried over the outcome. The
belief exists among them. and. in fact. in every

The situation at Manila is different. Aguinal
dos personality is felt directly there and he
has succeeded in keeping his soldiers aloof
from Friendly relations with the Americans.

TANDERBILTs GET l.. Il. a. ".


They Acquire Control of One of the Late
Calvin :. Bricr's Roads.
Rumors OF all impending change Of control
Of the Lake Erie and Western Halfway Com
pany took definite shape yesterday in an an
nouncement that u large proportion Of the
stock Of the company had been purchased by
Vanderbilt interests. The authority for the
statement was concealed. but number OF
circumstances lend color TO tho report. Six
months ago n combination was attempted OF
several OF the railroads in the middle West in
which the Big Four" the Lake Erie and
Western and the Louisville New Albany and
Chicago were to be included. Tho deal fell
through principally because an agreement as
to price could not he reached. II is under
tor Brice negotiations were resumed as TO the
Lake Erie and Western, OF which he was Pres;
ident, and In the securities OF which he and
his business associates were largely inter-
ested.
The place OF President is still vacant. but +.

Of the company and Chairman OF the board.
Mr.. Whtredges firm has for n long time rep
resented q considerable stockholdinR interest
in the company, supposed tobe that OF the Van
derbilts. and he recently secured options on
such Of Mr.. Brice's friends as were willing to
sell, and it is said no has given notice that he
will exercise these options. The conclusion
is drawn. naturally. that the intention Is, to
carry out that part Of the original deal which
included closer relations betTeen the Lake

slightly ms to Them.

4 person in position to know outlined yes
terdaythe situation as to New York city police
legislation as result ot the recent confer
ences between Gov. Roosevelt, Senator Platt
and Chairman Odcll Of the Republican State
Committee. THE SUS's informant said:
Senator Plat favors reorganization OF the
police force on the lines OF u metropolitan
police district. Just as he did at the special
session OF the Legislature In July last.
Gov. Roosevelt told Senator Patt that he
would 20 no further than TO add TO Super
intendont McCullaEhs powers those now
lodged with the Bureau Of Elections which now
is AN adjunct Of the Police Department: and
that he would also favor n law making tho
Chief Of Police subject to removal by the Gov
ernor on charges made and proved after u
hearing, the same as is n Sheriff OF q county.
That is. the election machinery would bo taken
away from the jurisdiction OF Tammany, and
while tho Mayor would stil DO endowed with
the power OF appointing the Police Board tho
latter to appoint the Chief OF Police, the Chief
would not be so apt to carry out the instruc-
tions Of Tammany Police Board II the Gov
crnor had the same power OF removal as the
Police Board
This Is the situation. and while Gov Roose-
welt and Senator Platt differ upon tho question,
the Governorthnksth the Senator will eventually
come around to his idea. metropolitan police
district would mean the appointment OF police
board by the Governor. who thinks this author
ity rightly belongs TO the Mayor Even under

and pieces Of lead in the silver vaults at the
Mint in Philadelphia The bag was OF the
precise weight OF 163 silver dollars. the
amount OF silver coin which the weighers at
the Mint supposed it to contain. The fact
that it contained sawdust led to its close ex-
animation and the discovery that the original
contents had been removed.
Director Richards spent several daNs al the
Mint recently in conference with Superintend-
ent Henry X. Boyer, who .succeeded kretz
under President Mckinley. Mr.. Boyer caused
n close examination to be made OF all the con-
tents OF the vaults. besides merely weighing

with great advantage in the upper end Of the

people anxious to get 10 business downtown.
As there were no boats on hand, the people had
to wade through lakes and rivers made by the
terrible rainstorm OF Tuesday night. In the
sparsely settled portion OF the borough the
storm had full sweep. and every street soon
became roaring river. Sand and mud bars
formed in many places. while portions of the
Grand Concourse and the Boulevard were out
of sight Lampposts stuck up like little light
houses out OF the muddy sea. and by their aid
citizens were able to get their bearings and lay
their course to the Third avenue trolley line;

ing the Long Island Railroad Company from
building the incline connection between the
tracks and the structure of the Brooklyn Ele-
waited Railroad atAtlantc and Flatbush avenues,
which Is intended to enable Long Island Rail
road trains to run over the elevated railroad

Thomas R. Farrell. Deputy Commissioner Of
Highways: Receiver Frederick Uhlmann of
the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company; the

the city of New York are made defendants
In the action. Mr.. Gallagher contends that the
structure is an ncroachment and obstructs the
public highway; that the Department Of High
ways has no power to authorize the constrnc-
tion OF the incline connection that that power
is vested in the Municipal Assembly. which can
grant the right to build, but then only as a
franchise. for which due compensation must
be paid TO the city.
The order Is returnable TO morrow morning

tion yesterday.
