Manila presents a similar phase e.f
the question of day and date. Our
newest and maybe our richest posses
sion is situated in longitude 12O de-
grees 81 minutes, seconds east. In
other words it lies eight hours, fourteen
minutes and seven seconds east of
Greenwich, and since New York is five
hours from Greenwich Manila is thir-
teen hours, fourteen minutes and seven
seconds distant from the Herald
building.
GAINING A DAY.
But it must be borne in mind that
Manila is east of New York, and that,
therefore, the sun rises over that troub-
led land where Dewey and Otis have
put up such a brave fight thirteen hours
before it lights up New York. Hence,
when it is high noon with us it is after
/ O'Clock at night of the next day in
the Philippines 1t will be midnight
with them when. it midday with us.
Going east or west around the world
there is in reality no real gain or loss
of day; otherwise, as Captain Lecley,
in his wrinkles in Navigation re-
marks, a man by continually sailing
round east about might be considered,
from the frequent repetitions of a day
which it entailed, to have lived longer
than another who stopped at home.
Such a traveller, however, only appears
to have stolen a march on time, be-
cause as he has gone east he has met
the sun in it's coming" and thus short
ened the length Of his days by the
amount of longitude traversed. Had
the man remained stationary his days
would always have contained just the
twenty-four hours-New York World.

LADY CURzoN IN INDIA.
What It Means to be a Viceroy's
Wife and the Social Demands.

Under the title The American Girl
Who Leads an Empire Edward Page
CASTOR writes interestingly in the "Wo-
mans Bcme Companion of the respon-
sibilities undertaken by Lady Curzon:
'It sometimes devolves upon the wife
of the Viceroy to give audience to a
native Maharajah alone, when it is her
duty to advance and meet him on the
threshold, and duly wave him to seat,
after which her American tact prompts
her to speak of the satisfaction it is
to see him in her home, to inquire after
the health of her distinguished guest
and his family, and to pay him all the
usual compliments of the season. As
the ladies' of the viceroyalty generally
make it understood that they can ac-
cept no gifts of value from their sub
jects the exchange of tokens is confined
to photographs.

COMMERCIAL.
WHEAT LOWER BOTH ON CALL
AND IN SAMPLE MARKET.
Spot Barley Weak and a Decline in
Prices on Ca1l-Oats Quiet
But Firm.
San Francisco, March goth.

The flour market is weak in sympathy
with the decline in wheat and there is
keen competition among the millers. The
export demand is good. Receipts of flour
to-day were 1870 quarter sacks, includ-
ing 1880 quarter sacks from Oregon.
Wheat was lower both on call and in the
sample market, owing to continued rain
throughout this State and regardless of
an advance in Chicago prices and a
rather firmer foreign market. The wealth
er in the West continues. unfaverable for
the growing crops, being alternately
freezing and thawing. No wheat was
received in this city to-day. Barley on
call had another decline, and the spot
market was very weak, although holders
as rule refuse to meet the situation
Receipts of barley were 900 centals, in
Guiding 500 cental:s; from Nevada Oats
Of oats were 2,090 centals, including 1870
centals from Oregon. Corn was dull and
unchanged Receipts were 600 centals
Eastern corn.
The rain interfered with the hay trade
to-day Receipts were $50 tons, the larg-
est in some time, and the market was
all around. Bran and middlings were un-
changed Receipts of bran were $50 sacks
and of middlings 450 sacks.
The fruit market is quiet. owing to the
wet weather. Prices for fancy oranges
are still tending upward. Choice apples
are steady; common kinds slow of sale
and weak. Ripe bananas are now very
plentiful. Lemons and lines are un-
Changed. Should the weather continue
mild strawberries are expected to put
in ain appearance in another week
and creamery and dairy have again de-
clined all around. Packed butter is nomi-
nal. Receipts of cheese are increasing
and the market has weak tendency
eggs are in good supply and the mar
ket is easy at the quotations.

VETERAN CAR BUILDER.
Built the First Locomotive That
Runs on Hawaii.

II. y. Sprague, formerly superinten-
dent of the II. X. Porter Locomotive
Works, of Pittsburg, is at present in
Honolulu. Mr.. Sprague has been in
the car and locomotive business for
about forty years and his engines are
scattered all over. He retired from
his connection with the Porter Co. a
few years ago on account of i'll health.
Since then he has made yearly trips TO
Florida and California. and this year
came as far as Hawaii.
Willie Wishing the volcano few
days ego Mr. Sprague came upon one
Of his productions. This was the en-
glne that runs over the six-mle
strIt. ! from Puna,uu. II was the first
erg.ae ever put on that road, having
been built IN 1883. The engine that
Adolph Sutr1 used in building the
famous Sutro tunnel that drained the
COmstock, was a product Of his hands.
Mr.. Sprague has made thorough eX.
amlnatlOns of the work and equipment
OF the o. II. & l.. Co. and has only
words Of high praise for the manner
in which the. work is carried on. He
was surprised to see such cars being
turned out by a road that has been
running so short time. The plan of
building the cars instead of importing
them in sections as Is done by some
roads, he considers a wise plan. The
whole system of management appeared
to him to be very complete and thor
ough.
Mr.. Sprague will return to the
States with his wife by the Australia.

A FREIGHT WREJ4..
A Train Jumped the Track on the c
& A. Near Glendale, Mo.
THREE men KILLED, SEVEN INJURED
The Victims We're Stealing u Ride-Ths
Wreck Consisted OF Cars Of Merchan-
disc Hogs and Cattie-List Of
Killed and Injured,

Kansas City, Mo-, July l4.-A west
bound freight train on the Chicago 4
Alton was wrecked yesterday morning
two miles east of Glendale. Eight or
nine men and one woman were stealing
a ride in freight cars, with the result
that seven men were terribly injured
and three are dead. 1t is believed that
there is still another unknown buried
at the bottom of the wreck, viii, h con-
sists of ten cars of merchandise, hogs
and cattle and several carloads of coal
The cattle cars were added to the train
at Odessa, where it is believed that
most of the men stealing ride boarded
the train.
The wreck occurred at curve in the
road on steep grade just short dis
lance from where the engine was
stopped after the Blue cut robbery.
The road at this point makes sharp
curve before it sweeps into Glendale.
which lies in the valley. The west
bound freight was ON time and its
speed. was not unusually high. As a
general thing high speed is main
tanned to make the grade just west of
Glendale. The cause of the wreck is
not known. The theory Of the rail
road men is that a broken hange Or a
brake beam caused one Of the ears to
jump the track and the indiscrminate
piling up of the ears resulted. None
OF the train crew was injured. The
head brakeman was in the engine and
the others were in the caboose Neither
left the track. The train ran for quite
u distance on the ties, for the fange
cuts on the ties were plainly discerni-
bic.
The men who were stealing a ride
were just in front Of the cattle ears,
and it is believed that this car was the
first to leave the track. The other
cars piled up on the unfortunate men,
pinioning them down in the wreekage.
The sufferings of the injured men
were terrible. The wreck occurred at
4:O3 a. IN. and until five p. m, or Is
hours later they lay by the road, under
bunch Of trees, waiting for surgical
attention.

rehearing in the cases of the 70 for
eign fire insurance companies against
which writ of custer was issued by
this court for violation of the anti
trust law. Attorneys Given, Camp
bell and Waddill, for the com
panies, then filed motion for
modification of the judgment,
to allow the companies to do business
upon such terms as the court may
deem just and proper in the premises. J"
The court took recess to reconsider the
motion.

the suspension of custer against the
companies and entered a fine of $1,000
each against them. These fines must
be paid to the clerk Of the supreme
court within 80 days from this date and
the companies will then be permitted
