TWO LITTLE BOYS.
(The Outlook J

A bad little boy with a cross little face,
Came slowly down stairs in the morning;
OF fun or good nature he showed not
trace,
He fretted and cried without warning.
He'd not touch his breakfast, he would not
play;
If you spoke he Just answered by snarling,
He leased his pet kitty all the long day;
He really was "nobody's darling"
A good little boy. with bright little face,
Came down in the morning time singing,
And indoors and out, and all over the place
His music and laughter went ringing.
He ran giaDdpa's erande, his orange he
shared
With Sue; and he found mama's thimble;
To do what was asked he seemed always
prepared,
And in doing it equally hin bic.
These two little boys who were wholly
unlike,
Though they lived in one house, were
not brothers,
That good little boy and that bad little
tyke
Have not two kinds of fathers and
mothers,
But there are two tempera and only one
boy,
And one is ind eed such a sad one
That when with the good one brings US all
joy,

believed that Judge Taft, before he ac-
ccpted the Craftsmanship of the commits
sion. had perfect uHdcrsta .Idirg with
the President as to the relations which
should exist between the civil and mill
tary authorities and also that from the
time the commission arrives in Manila its
authority will be supreme under the
President. as to al! matters of govern
ment.
Secretary Gage occupied some time at
to days Cabinet session In making
statement of the receipts and expendi-
lures of the government. He stated that
since July LIST. 1899 there had accumu-
lated n surplus of revenue over receipts
of about $50. 600 0GO, and that by the end
of June of this year it probably would
amount to over s60.O0O.OO0. This surplus
is accounted for by large receipts from
customs and by material reduction in
the expenditures on accoun: IF the war.
The Secretary is of the opinion that the
present rate of taxation might safely be
reduced to some extent, and 1t was with
view to n possible recommendation to
Congress by the President on the subject
that the Secretary made his statement.

New York, March 29.-The Evening
Post to-day says: 1T may be stated on
cry excellent authority that the opera
ion Ct the Richmond, Fredericksburg
IRA Potomac Will be taken over by the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio.
Whether these roads will act separately

connects with the Pennsylvania line
Wasting tUn. 1t is also used by the
Atlantic Cast Line and the Seaboard
iir Lire as part of their Washington
ines.
The success Of the Seaboard Air
line in securing a charter at the recent
ession OF the Virginia Legislature for
parallel lire from Richmond to
Washington has brought the company's
affairs before the public. There is a
possibility that the new control Of the
property, which may be taken as prac-
ically established, will make it posi-
ole to effect some arrangement by
which the possibility of the building of
his proposed parallel line will not be
undertaken"

and the Vanderbilt Int resi- y
Not Figure In ny Outside Deal.
New York, March 2s.-At a nleet:nt.
held in this city to-day the Board OF
Directors Of the Chesapeake and OH"
railroad was reorganized, presumably
in the interest of the Pennsyivss--::
railroad and the Vanderbilts by the
election Of the following directors: 5.
NJ. Provost, Samuel Rea, n. II. Parker
Shortridge, Chauncey NJ. Depew, H
Mckay Twombley and H. J. Hayden
The three first named are said to rep
resent the Pennsylvania and the three
latter the Vanderbilts. The other di-
rectors are G.. w. Stevens, president;
Decatur Axtel and H. T. Wickham.
Rumors have been in circulation for
several days regarding a proposed ex-
tension Of the Chesapeake and Ohia
and including the acquisition of the
Toledo and Ohio Central and Kanawil
and Michigan railroads. President Cal
loway, Of the Chesapeake and Ohio,
when asked to-day about these reports,
said:
There is not word of truth in it.
majority of the stock of the CheSa-
peake and Ohio is owned by the New
York Central and Pennsylvania rail-
roads and there are to be no extern
sions. The Chesapeake and Ohio is now
in a position where each of the other
two roads named has a close interest
in its policy and management and 1t
will not figure in any outside deals. The
fact that the ChesaIeake and Ohio IS
a natural feeder as well as an outlet
of the Big Four system made il neces-
sary that the Vanderbilts should have
a voice in its management"
Another influential officer in the
Vanderbilt system said: The time has
gone by for the Chcsa peake and Ohio
system to be used in any new deals. 1t
is the property of the Vardel'ilts and
the Pennsylvania aid 4 ajCr!,y of the
stock is put away where al-LUlators
cannot reach it. Undoubtedly such
traffic alliance as tie Chesapeake and
Ohio has which are Cf advantage viii
be maintained and strengthened"
The Chesapeake ard Ohio runs from
Newport News to Cincinnati and it is
composed of a number of subordinate
lines. including the Elizabeth, Lexing-
ton and Bis Sandy, the Ohio and Big
Sandy River. the Kentucky and South
Atlantic and the Virginia Midland.
There has also been close traffic rela-
tons between the Chesapeake and
Ohio and thc EanaWEa and Michigan.
