WASHINGTON. Sept 4.-The War Department
to-day gave out n statement based on actual
figures in possession OF the Secretary OF War,
showing that the cost OF collection OF the
entire customs service in Cuba for the first six
months OF 1899 IL less by l.32 per cent.
than the cost Of collection at the ports OF
the United States The percentage Of cost
OF collection at all ports OF the United
States 10 4.G2. while in the island Of Cuba it
was 800 per cent. only and at the port OF Ha-
vuna 237 per cent. the latter being lower than
at any single port Of entry in tho United States.
For the fiscal year ending June 30 last. the cost
Of collection at the port OF New York was go
per cent ; at the port OF Philadelphia, $50 per
cent at the port OF San Francisco. 7.2O per
cent at tho yort Of New Orleans. 1890 per

only. in the order named, will exceed those Of
Havana As a matter Of fact the collections
OF the port OF Boston only exceed those
OF the port OF Havana by something
less than 100000. 1t Is Just to state
that the percentages given above are
exceedingly crsditable to the customs service
OF Cuba, the more SO because the percentages
named are based upon the business OF period
when there was a lack Of organization due to
the recent inception Of the customs service in
Cuba. and in which the commerce Of the island
was in an unsettled condition. For the reason

DEBTS OF JERSEY CITIES
State of Sinking Funds Found
To Be Far From
Gratifying.


The debts of cities of New Jersey is
shown by facts and figures compiled by
the Bureau of Statistics and Labor to
be in the aggregate $50. 37O,O 94, an increase
of nearly 500, coo, 600 over 1890. Over
$50, COO, eco of the gross debt is due by
Hudson and Essex counties, and the
sinking funds of all municipalities
amount to only IS, 6s5, 499. While all the
counties but Union, Burlington, Hunter
don and Middlesex show more or less in
crease of indebtedness since 1880, the in
crease in the seashore counties is notice
ably large. Atlantic jumps from a per
capita debt of $1.66 in 1880 to $31.21 last
year, and Cape May Increases from $9.7 Il
to s19.75.
The cause of this great increase in
these counties is the betterment of the
famous seaside resorts of Atlantic City
and Cape May, which are now provided
with all the public utilities which tend to
make cities grow and prosper. But the
showing here made hat the sinking funds
of communities owing money provided for
only one dollar of every eight Of indebt-
edness is far from gratifying. Those
towns where citizens sometimes wonder
why their bonds do not meet with very
general demand or do not sell advan-
tageously need go no further for %expiana-
ton than this cause in Mr.. Stainsby's
report.

RAILROAD SHOPS AT ELIZABETH.
Big Plant to Be Erected by the
Jersey Central,

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News."l
ELIZABETH, April %, 1Ss9.-The Cen
trail Railroad Company has at last pre-
pared to build it's imlnense railroad shops
in this city on land lying between the
Newark Bay bridge, the NeNwark and
Elizabeth branch and the main line of the
Central. The ground, it is said, will be
broken for the building next month.
There will be eight shops, and all the
work now done at Elizabethport in the
old shops, and also at Hampton juno
ton and other points will be done at the
Elizabethport plant, which will cover
about seventy acres. The plans for the
building have all been drafted and APP
proved by the Board Of Directors. This
sets at rest the stories published from
time to time that the Central Railroad
machine and repair shops were to be re-
moved from this city. The shops, it is
said, will give employment to not less
thar 1,5O0 hands,.
The large stove factory on Eugene Nun
sell on Fulton street, which has been idle
for some years, has been leased by a New
York chemical company, with a three
years option of buying the building and
land. The compan intends to remove it's
plant from New York to Elizabeth and fit
up the factory for its business as soon as
possible. The concern will employ several
hundred persons.
