SWEEPING CHANGES
I'm Rail road Appliances In the Re-
public OF Mexico

It has been known for some time that
che Mexican government would order
sweepinR changes in railroad applian-
ces. AS a matter of fact an order for
the use of safety appliances on rolling
stock to conform to the United States
safety appliance law has already been
promulgated.
Such railroads as the Mexican Cen
traI have very little change to make.
for it has been for years the policy OF
the management to keep abreast OF
American practice, but some OF the
roads will have to make very expen-
sfve changes, since link and pin coup
lers are still used on passenger cars,
but these must all be changed for the
Miller hook or the NJ. @. B. form OF
coupler.
The government of Mexico is like
that of Russia in the power IL possesses
co make perempsory laws for the safety
of trainmen and other citizeus. There
is no hanging back till the time for
making the changes comes about, and
then making representations that more
sine Is necessary The order is issued.
and those who are not ready to comply
with the law whep,it goes into effect
dnd their health in jeopardy.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. Feb. 23.-Much
excitement has been caused at Lakeland

the ghost of an Italian who was killed at
that place about two years ago while un-
loading stone for the powerhouse which
was started, but never finished.
During last Saturday nights snowstorm
the conductor on the last electric car from

to assist him off, when it suddenly disap-
peared. He says that he saw the same
figure a little farther up the road stand
ing on one of the crossings a few minutes

The question of the right of the District
! Commissioners to issue proclamation,
having the effect of a statute law, came
up for a hearing today before Justice
Barnard sitting in Equity Court, No. 2.
The matter arose from the petition of
Thomas Edward Clark asking the court
to restrain Poundmaster Einstein from
impounding a dog, under the authority of
a proclamation" issued by the District
Commissioners on December 10 last. The
proclamation requires that all dogs in the
District shall be muzzled, whether Ii
censed or not.
When the case was called the Commits
sioners, represented by the Attorney for
the District A. B. Duvall and his two as
sistants, c. a. Brandenburg and A. F. Sim
clair, entered general demurrer to the
complaint, on the ground that the cir
cumstances set forth in the petition for In
junction, were not such as would warrant
his relief in a court of equity. Argument
was heard on the question as TO whether
or not the complaint should be dismissed
or the defendant be made TO answer to the
petition.
petitioner contended that the proclama-
tion OF December 10 last requiring the
muzzling of all dogs within the District
limits is void and invalid, because the
Commissioners have no authority TO issue
a proclamation; that there is no instance
where such power has been delegated TO
the Commissioners. The authority to issue
a proclamation is given only to one person,
who has the power TO affiX the great seal
of the Government. He contended that il
such notice as the proclamation referred
to was law il cannot be revoked, except
by Congress itself. II cannot be set aside
by the Commissioners themselves
Proclamations. it was contended, could
only be issued by the President. Governors
of States, and Mayors of cities, who have
authority TO affix a great seal
1t was admitted that the Commissioners
can make police regulations for the gov
ernment OF the District. but cannot re-
woke them. This power, the lawyer con-
tended belongs TO and is invested in Con-
gress alone.
The lawyer declared that if the procla-
nation in question is law the Commits
sioners had no authority TO make it, and,
even taking il for granted that they had
the right they have no power TO revoke
il, that power belonging solely TO Con-
gress. The inability OF the Commissioners
TO revoke the proclamation renders il void
and invalid.
The opening argument on behalf Of the
Commissioners was made by Assistant Dis
trct Attorney Clarence \. Bradenberg.
After hearing the arguments of Mr.. Du-
vail and a reply by Mr. Steever, Justice
Barnard took the matter under advise
ment stating that he would announce his
decision in few days.

In France.

Paris, Sept. 2.-The Chinese situation,
as viewed in Paris, has assumed a brighter
aspect. The practical unanimity of the
United States, Russia, France and Japan
i'll the desire to maintain the integrity of
the empire is regarded as disposing of
any question of partition. England's po-
siton is undoubtedly as strongly favora-
BILE to the foregoing policy as that OF any
power mentioned, but it is more pleasing
to France that bonds of accord should be
sworn between the United States, France
and Russia and that these nations should
appear to be the controlling influence to-
ward peace. Americas proposition to ac-
cept Ii Hung Chang as go-between in the
negotiations is well received, although it
is still desired that he produce tangible
evidence that he is acting for the central
power. In fact, France is ready to treat
with any plenipotentiary able to furnish
proper credentials. Russia's proposal to
withdraw the troops from Pekin comedies
with the feeling entertained in Paris in
favor of conciliatory policy.
The acceptance of these two PROPOSE
tons by all the powers is considered an
important step toward a satisfactory So
luton and one which will avoid causing a
convulsion within China and will minimize
the danger of a conflict among the powers.
Germany's and Italy's position form a
doubtful part of the exchange of views,
but it is thought the pacific influence of
the other nations will bear down any bel
licose intentions on their part on the scales
of European policy.

VIEWS OF THREE POWERS.

London, Sept PAS soon as BritiSh pub
lie opinion is able to shake off the Rus
sian nightmare which invariably obtrubes
upon the nations whenever any far east
em question occupies international atten-
ton, it will, in all probability, according
to the views of the best informed, heartily
acknowledge the wisdom OF America in
luative toward a solution of a situation
which threatens to reach an impasse. At
present the country finds touch of hui
NOR i'll the idea of an entente between the
great republic of the new world and the
powerful autocracy of the old, and the Sat
urday Review sneeringly wonders which
will ultimately give way to the other.
But despite the attempts of the jingoes to
becloud the real meaning of the under
standing, it is believed in authoritative
quarters that the reasons actuating the
United States will ultimately recommend
themselves to governmental circles. Great
Britain would doubtless have preferred
to assist in carrying out the original Amer
lean, proposals, but as the Washington
government is prepared to modify these
i'll Difference to Russian views, there is
every indication that the British cabinet
will accept whatever promise the quick
est end to the controversy. The main
trouble is that the whole of Europe is in
a mood of mutual suspicion, only too we'll
calculated to promote international com
pLcatons deprecated by the whole world
But diplomatic circles i'll London are OF
the opinion that signs are discernible that
the tension will soon be relaxed and that
the jealousies will be so allayed that the
powers will be enabled, in conjunction
with the reformers and viceroys of the
southern provinces, to devise scheme
for reconstituting the government o.
China in conformity with the will of tn,
people and authorities OF China in Ger
many.

complete fiscal returns for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1900, shows that
14l6 vessels of 393.16S gross tons were
quilt and documented in the United
States Since 1853 this record has
oeen exceeded only twice-in 1864
Wnen 432,74O gross tons were built.

The steam vessels built-420 of 2O2-
49S gross tons-surpass the record. the
nearest approach being in 1891, when
4SS steam vessels of 1876, O37 gross tons
were built. The steel vessels built

Alb tons, exceeds any record since 1872.
The total for the New England coast,
1919 vessels of 72,179 gross tons, has not
been equalled since 1891, while the pro-
duct of the Pacific coast, 300 vessels of

14,509 tons, is 5000 tons less than in
1899. The foregoing figures do not
