siderable annoyance with their hot
baths Every Japanese soldier, when
at home. is accustomed to a hot bath
at least once q day. During a cam

conducted in the province of Chilli, it
is not always easy to prepare hot baths
every morning for 80 600 men. The

Railroad SrGT7P -HEsfsCT7ce-
The importance of the railroad
tramp nuisance IS indicated by the fact
that 1t is made the subject of the
leading article IN the Investors sup
plement'' OF the Commercial and
Financial Chronicle. an issue OF over
$50 pages. The estimate of Josiah
Flynn that 10000 tramps steal rides
nightly and 10 coo more are lettering
around railroad yards is quoted, to-
gether with his estimate that each of
the 60 600 tramps in the country traT-
els on an average OF fifty mills Il day,
which, for loo days in the year, means
5000. 600 miles OF free transportation
annually which at two cents a mile,
would represent paying travel Of So,
000. coo. The free rides are, however,
Of slight Importance compared with
the extensive piiferfng of freig ht and
through accidents to trarnps while
trespassing. The Commercial and
Financial Chronicle advises railroads
to adopt the plan Of the Pennsylvania
road, which employs a regular force Of
eighty-three men to keep the cars and
yards clear OF the undesirable class.
The success of the plan is shown in
that the company pays $1,000 a year
less for its police arrangem ents than
before it adopted it The adoption of
the plan by all important roads would
not only be OF benefit to them but to
the country It is well known that
most tramps are what they are partly
because of hatred Of work and partly
because they like to travel The re-
moving Of easy facilities for transpor-
tatiOn would reduce the number enor-
mOusly- The deserving poor may get
free transportation at any time.

SQanlSh-AueFican convention has
been signed in Washington, by which
two small ISLANDS. bearing the names
Of Casayen and Cibotu. are ceded to
the United States by Spain for $780,

from the China sea into the Su1u sea.
and Cibotu lies between the Sulu ami
Celebes seas Both properly belong to

supposed to be ceded to the United
States by the Paris treaty But the
limits OF the cession were designated
by geogra phica1 lines and two little
islands were afterward found to lie
outside the boundary named in the
treaty, though believed. owing TO their
position being given incorrectly on the
maps, to be within them They were
of no use to Spain, but that govern

compensation before turning them
over to the United States For this
reason the full price OF the archipel-

commissioners has cost the extra
amount. but the government has acted
wisely in purchasing the stray islands
and keeping the archipelago intact.
