REACTION IN THE
 RAILWAY STOCKS
Displayed Strength in Sympathy With Buoyancy of Sugar,
THEN SAGGED MATERIALLY
Result Was Net Declines on the Day Sugar Again Rose 5 Points-Li- quidation Among the Ac-
 tive Bond Issues.

New York, March 1.-The railways. after a display of strength in sympathy with the buoyancy in Sugar, sagged in anticipation of February net retuns not meeting expee- tations, and the result was marked net de- clines in these properties.
 A number of the active specalties moved upward, but some of the green indus trials were exceptions, including Federal Steel, American Steel & Wire, Continental Tobacco and International Paper These properties suffered because of the diversion of interest from them to Sugar.
 Sugar, which at one time was within 2A points of its record yesterday, scored a net advance of points,
 Glucose was up sympathetically.
 The aggregate of dealings, while below those of yesterday, exceed thre'.-quarters of a million shares, of which | were Sugar. The fact that the banks nave lost over $9,OO0O00 to the sub-treasury since Fri day led traders to expect an unfavorable bank statement tomorrow, and on this the ory sold stocks. Among the stocks show ing strength were Peoples Cas-. Tennessee Coal & Iron, Colorado Fuel & Iron, Metro poltan Street Railway, Brooklyn Transit and Manhattan, which was quoted ex-div. and eX-rights. Call money rates ranged from 3 to 5, with the bulk of the business near the high figure
 After most brokers had made their ar engagements for loans which carry over un- til Monday, rates receded with the closing at 3@312 per cent. London was a seller on the advance here, putting out twice as much stock as 1t had taken in the initial trading.
 There was some liquidation among the active bond issues today. Total sales, $3,- 250, 900. United States new As coupon ad vanced 1s; registered, A. and the old As registered and the 3s ss in the bid price,

Birmingham, March 17.-Wheat cables to- day offered no encouragement to specula- tive holders and liquIdating sales have been the dominating features again today. Pro- fessional operators bought freely to cover recent sales, as California markets are re- ported as firm despite the recent rains and improved crop reports. Corn ruling steady considering weakness in wheat. Interior markets are not pressing sales and cash demand fairly good. Provisions quiet and easy, owing to the wheat but trade ap- pears to be confident of a recovery in prices on liberal shipments and low prices as compared with hogs.

The Tagals have been barbarousiy
treating the bodies of our dead in bat
tie, say the. dispatches. Then follow
some revolving stories of mutilatlon.
These Filipinos. who are SO sensitive
regarding their honor" appear to be
insensible to all else. If this thing OF
mutilation continues the American
commanders will be justified in adopt
ing measures unusual in war and OF
Ietaliatory nature. Yet it would be un-
wise to relax in the slightest degree our
policy of mercy to the captive enemy,
care of the insurgent wounded, and fair
treatment for the prisoner. Possibly
the Aguinaldoites are endeavoring to
sting us into some retaliation which
will give color among his people to the
song he has droned into their ears from
the beginning, that Americans, yam
quis,'' as he is pleased to call them, are
cruel and merciless lot, who torture
prisoners, kill captives and put the
wounded to death.

ern tendency is to overdo in the direc-
tion OF general education, placing too
much reliance upon what it will ac-
complish for the man and the cltlzen.
The assumption that the State can be
legitimately interested in the inculca-

is erroneous. This might
safely be left to private enterprise. Tne

IMMIGRATION. ~hf
San Diego Union: The immigration
question is serious one. but II can
be settled without drastic measures.
Foreigners who are intelligent, law
abiding, Industrious and self-support-
ing should be welcomed. All others
should be excluded. There should be no
difficulty in framing law that shoulo
keep out the undesirables. Congress,
notwithstanding the several immigra-
ton bills that have at one time or an
other been presented, has never really
grappled with this problem in prac-
tical manner. The question Is one thal
should be taken up and settled at the
earliest opportunity 1t should be SET
tied, too, without hostility toward any
people or class, but in manner that
shall afford protection against the IN
fiux of paupers and criminals-that
shall, in short, deal justly by the Amer
lean people who are neither paupers nor

Arkansas has passed into law a bill
relieveing husbands from liability for
ante-nuptial debts of the wife except
there is an express contract to the con-
trary. That is not what troubles most
husbands, but rather the post-nuptial
obligations of a financial character
which matrimony involves, if we are to
credit the stage gags and the para
graphic hits in the press. But while
men may be privileged to talk thus of
their wives and jest of their expendi-
ture. is it not, after all. a fact that the
wife, as a rule, expends far less than
her honest share of the community
earnings? She is assumed, and she
does in fact, if true wife, contribute
her half to gathering the earnings of
the pair. Why, then, should men for
ever, as they do, speak of their dis
bursements for their wives as gratui-
ties, charities and support"?
