CAPITAL IND BOR.

| The annual report of the Pennsylva-
 nia Railroad company, just issued, re-
 ceives very favorable comment from the | fine showing of earnings made by this great American corporation and from the disposition further manifested by l the company to deal justly and gener-
 pusy by it's employees who have grown
 gray in it's service. The company's &C., l tion in regard to it's aged employees is a
 striking instance in refutation of the
 old sayings that corporations have no
 souls and that capital and labor are
 surely antagonistic. One of the inter- esting features of the report also is
 that regarding the company's insurance
 fund for it's employees. There are 4s,529
 members of the relief association, and
 they contributed last year $797,246 to
 the relief fund The company added about $160,0O0 to this, right out of it's
 distributed for deathe and $479,275 for
 disabilities from sickness or accident.
 The surplus is between $700,000 and $1,- 000,000 Then, beside the relief fund, the company maintains a savings bank which has 6,670 depositors. The depos- its of the past year were over S7S6OO0, and the total of deposits is $2, 717,709. This is invested in securities bearing nearly 4 per cent, but not quite, and, beginning in July this year, the rate of interest paid will be cut to 312 per cent This latter step is taken in accord with good business policy and is similar to that taken by the large life insurance companies in changing their reserve held on policies from a 31a per cent ba- | sis to per cent. basis. Very few life | insurance companies still maintain their | reserve on the old per cent basis, be- | cause of the gradual decrease in the in- | terest account of their investments.
 Reference in the report is made to the 1

establishment of the company's pension department mentioned above to which the company contributes $230 900 year.
 While on this subject it is also appro- priate to mention another instance in illustration of the idea that corporations are not all soulless John w. Mackay and his associates in the management of the Commercial Cable company have also set a good example in reserving 10000 shares of the companys stock to be disposed of among the employees at $100 a share, it's par value, the present quotation being between s1s5 and SEQ. The company has further exhibited good judgment in limiting subscriptions to twenty shares for each individual, This will give all an opportunity to become interested, and an interested employe is desirable in any line of business
 One of the privileges employees of this company already enjoy is g, three weeks vacation each year without loss of in- come. They may take the vacation at one time or in installments. A three weeks vacation with wages is very nice annual present This sort of action by corporations is not likely to foment labor troubles nor irritate unduly "The Man with the Hoe"

hours. At the end of the march the
 troopers went into the fight, and in the
 entire command not one horse showed
 a lame leg or a saddle sore
 | Four troopers of the Fourth Cavalry, who had volunteered for the particular service, were, sent in the summer of 1870 from Fort Harney to Fort Warner with despatches and were told to make the best time possible without killing their horses. The men were on their mettle.
 They made the distance, 140 miles, twenty miles of the way being through loose sand, in twenty-two hours, the
 actual marching time being eighteen hours and thirty minutes. At Fort Warner they rested one day, and return
 ed to Fort Harney on the same horses INat the uniform rate of sixty miles a day Captain Edmund F. Fechet, start
 ed at midnight for the relief of the
 relief of the Indian scouts who had been
 sent out to arrest Sitting Bull, who, af-
 ter killing that chief, were beleaguered
 in a log hut by his followers. Fechet
 took an ambulance wagon and Hitch
 kiss gun with him. The gun carriage
 broke down and he was compelled to

 board of the ambulance and thus drag it along. Notwithstanding this handi-
 cap he made the first forty-five miles
 in less than seven hours He fought and drove off the young sioux bucks, then secuted the country for ten miles, gave his troopers some breakfast and returned to the fort Fourteen hours were consumed in covering ninety miles of ground
 The cavalry horses of the American army have undergone these endurance and speed contests carrying weights of more than 200 pounds, and without any training other than that of received in the ordinary course of frontier scouting and daily drill evolutions. The greatest ride recorded, as it appears on paper, is that of the Austrian Count Stahrenberg, who rode one horse $50 miles in seventy-one hours. The animal however carried only the Counts weight, 12S pounds. It had been special ly trained for months to undergo the endurance test, and during the whole time of the ride it was kept up on The horse died within twenty four hours after the completion of it's task.
 Colonel Dodge, in his summary of re- markable rides, tells of a professional express rider, whom lie personally knew, who for many months carried mail from Fl Paso to Chihuahua through a hos tile Apache country. This man, on one horse, a broncho, regularly made 300 miles in sixty hours, and then, resting his mount for four days, made the re- turn trip. As this was not cavalry it is not ueed for purposes of comparison Touching the perform ance, however, the military writer says that, excepting the ass, there is per- I1aps no creature on earth so stubbornly as the bronchoe
 Colonel Dodge does not think that if tests were made there would be found much difference between the records which English and American soldiers would register. He says that a com posite picture made of 800 British and

 will take threatening tone" What will the end be?'
 We are no longer accustomed to
 seven or thirty years wars. It often happens that very clever people and na- tlons make great mistakes. The differ ence is that clever people see the mis-
 takes and don't repeat them. If the
 English General Staff commenced the
 war without sufficient knowledge of the circumstances they do not stand alone. The only nation that studied my books was the Transvaal. I will not say the Boers owe all their strategical knowl- edge to them, but the books had an in- fiuence upon the war"
 What do you think can close the conflict?'
 I think little of European intervenG tion, especially as The Hague Conven- ton has not yet been signed. The com- mon sense of the English will end it-- perhaps by the fall of the Cabinet, per- haps by arbitration The excuse that Englands prestige is involved amounts to nothing; prestige is more injured by a long, wearisome war in order to over come few Boers by doubtful vic- tory. Englands prestige will suffer more if she does not submit the matter to ulnpires if she loses her position as a moral leader of Europe. If the war lasts year, England will have lost S0,- 900 or 100000 men, including sick and wounded and the war will cost milli- ards If England were driven to seek arbitration that would be really a his torical satire. It is bitter teaching, but it is necessary to other peoples, as from it they can learn under all cir cumstances to avoid war."-London Chronicle.

JOHN IT. MORGAN.

Morgan entered the Senate in 1877 and had at that time a notable array of Southern colleagues, among them being Lamar of Mississippi, Garland of Ar kansas, Isham G. Harris of Tennessee, Ransom of North Carolina and Ben Hill of Georgia. Of that group Morgan is the only one left. He was accounted radical democrat in his time, but now he is too conservative for the young men of Alabama, and the fight against him is being made ostensibly on the ground that he is not loyal to Bryan, not sufficiently devoted to the cause of free silver. To meet the fight of the Bryanites he falls back upon the old familiar democrat battlefield of the South and makes an effort to rally the people to him by standing forth in the Senate as the champion of the white man against negro equality.
 Reports from Alabama show that the conflict between the contending forces it doubtful Morgan is a strong and resourceful leader, but he is old, while his opponent, Governor Johnson, has been in that office for two terms and has political patronage as well as com parative youth on his side. Fortunate ly for the senator. the opposition is divided, and two other candidates share with Johnson the hope of succeeding to his seat. His defeat would remove a notable figure from the Senate, and one of its most influential members, for, ever since the retirment of Edmunds, Morgan has been recognized as the ableet lawyer in the upper house. It would be the more noticeable because Senator Vest has announced that he will not be candidate for reelection Thus democracy would lose two veteran leaders at once--San Francisco Call.

BUST.

Congress is having a very busy spell.
 The senate has the amended Porto Rico
 tariff bill pending before it with Sena-
 tor Davis free trade amendment tackA ! cd on, but an informal canvass of the
 senate indicates that the senate will
 adopt the bill as presented from the | house with a slight modification MT.
 Davis bill is regarded as unacceptable
 to the, democrats on account of it's pro- vision extending parts of the constitu-
 tion to Porto Rico, and as wholly dis 1 tasteful to the republicans because of
 it's free trade clause. Then, too, Sena- | tor Allen has offered an amendment to | stitution was extended over Porto Rico by the peace treaty signed at Paris.
 This amendment is supposed to express
 the democratic position on the constitu- tional question as an offset to the Davis proposal The FNoraker bill will not come up for discussion for several days
 probably. The Porto Rico appropriation
 bill is on in the senate. Altogether
 Porto Rican legislation at Washington
 is in a shockingly mixed up state and
 all kinds and shades of opinion on the
 subject are entertained by different
 senators. More entangling amendments
 are also expected, to add to the per
 plexities Of the situation. Then in the

FASHION NOTES.
A Sxyngger Lnte Conner.


 What it's admirers describe as that glorious box pleat down the back is copied from skirts into box-pleats. And in order to insure it's appearance before the box-pleated skirt is past, the de- signers have just brought it out in a three quarter coat. It's pretty late in the season for such a garment, but it will have purchasers among those who go in for striking wraps. It has just the assertive, almost obstreperous look of newness that these women like, and indeed, compares very favorably with any of the past winters box garments.

Publicity concerning the statements of earnings, balances and outstanding securities does not always remedy an ill, as is shown by the disclosures in the case of the Third Avenue Railroad. Here was a company whose stock was regularly listed and which made reports not only to the Stock Exchange, but also to the State officials. The wreck age of this once gilt-edged corporation, whose credit was as good, if not better, than most similar companies, is now floating in and out of the brokers of fees.
