1T is supposed that the brigands who

The Daily News. in an editorial upon
the case OF Miss Stone, while rym-

expresses the opinion that the payment
OF such large ransom is q very ques-

WANDERING FREIGHT CARS.
How They Are Ro.nded Up by the
Car Accountant.

Car Accountant.
The car accountant is a typical In
stance of development in the railroad
business. In the early days he did not
exist. The superintendent was supposed
to know in a general way what was be-
ing done with the company's cars. The
custom was for railroads to carry through
freight as fnr as the end of their own
lines in their own cars. Then 1t was
transferred to tho cars of the foreign
line, and so assisted on the next stage to
its destination. So much time. however.
was lost in making the transfers that the
needs Of shippers forced upon the rail
roads departure which has now become
their general custom. Railroads permit
all loaded cars to go through to their
destination without transfer and allow
one another certain sum for the use
of the cars. This results in scattering
the cars OF the different roads over every
section OF track in the country. 1t pro-
duces the extraordinary professions of
many colored travellers from distant lands
that delight the eyes Of youngsters ut a
railroad crossing.
In theory the cars are permitted to run
through over foreign roads to their desti-
nation on the condition that on their arri-
val they shall be unlcaded promptly and
started on the return home. In practice
the freight agent is apt to use the cars
that are most handy regardless OF their
ownership. An agent in Minneapolis
would hardly think twice before filling up
a Maine Central freight car with con-
signment for Manitoba. The agent at
Manitoba would not suffer pang Of con-
science when he found himself stu6ing
the same Maine car with cargo Of sup
plies for Waco, Tex. Thus are begun the
wander;ngs Of car to which, II 1t were
not for the car accountant and his MEM
oranda. there would sometimes be no end.
1t is By no means easy to bring the
wanderers home. When the Maine Cen
trails car accountant learns from his re-
ports that his chr is being unduly knocked
about on foreign roads. his FIRST news is
that it has spent two weeks in the yards
at Minneapolis. A tracer is at once for
warded to the transportation department
of the railroad which is believed to be
holding the car. BY this time the car is
on its way to Manitoba. A tracer FOL
lows 1t there, but with the similar result
of finding that the car has been dis
patched for the southwest. A letter to
the company operating the line out Of
Waco brings an answer to the effect that
it is crippled and has been run into the
shops for repairs or that it has been load
ed again, in which case the company
promises politely TO unload it and send
1t home Immediately. Then the car is
promptly switched of on branch line
for some local consignee and is not heard
OF again, except BY the needy agent who
captured it, until it turns up in tail end
collision in tho state OF West Virginia.
Luckily it is not a bit injured and is nble
to continue its wanderings, pursued BY
more and more vigorously worded cor
respondence, until somebody sends It
home Carl Hovey in. Ainslee's.

SOLDIERS TO REMAIN.
No Prospect of Reducing MiIitar
Force in Phiiippines.

No Prospect of Reducing Military
Force in Philippines.
Washington, Oct. 16.-Unless condi-
lions materially improve in the Philip
pines within the next few months there
will be no reduction of the military
force OF the island. While no positive
decision has been reached on this point,
the officials of the war department are
rot as sanguine over the situation in the
archipelago as they We're several months
ago.
Recent reports from Gen. Chaffee at
Manila do not encourage the idea Of any
material reduction at this time, and,
taken III connection with the massacre
OF American soldiers in Samar, lead the
war department to approach the subject
with great care.
1t is now known that there has been
q difference of opinion between the mill
tary authorities in the Philippines and
the members of the Philippine commits
sion as to the general situation in the
archipelago and that, while the civil au-
thorities there have felt they could easi-
ly dispense with great part Of the
military force, an opposite view has
ficers.
Owing to the reports OF recent small
outbreaks in different parts of Luzon
the war department officials are begin
. pusmuloosI OF psuIIouIslp lesJ o. 9uIu
reduction of the military force.
In connection with this subject the
department has just taken up for con-
sideration the question of the return
from the Philippines of those soldiers
whose terms of enlistment will soon ex-
pire All, examination of the records
discloses the fact that the terms of en-
listment of nearly 10000 men will expire
between now and the first of next June.
To bring these men back will necessitate
the use Of all the transports now on the
Pacific coast and in Philippine waters,
and it may be necessary to use an addi-
tional vessel.
1t Is expected the president Will imme-
diately take up this subject and deter
mine whether the men to be brought
home shall be formed into regiments in
the Philippines and brought back to the
United States in regimenral formation
or whether they shall be returned as
they approach the time for the expira-
ton their term of service. 1t Is believed
that the Former plan will be adopted. as
II will enable the department to send to
Manila regiments of troops to take the
place of returning organizations. In
this way the present force of $4,000 men
in the Philippines will be maintained for
some time, and it will depend upon the
outlook rext spring whether or not the
force IL reduced to $4,000 men by Adjt.

Lost GEMS RESTORED.
Woman Lose. $4,000 Worth of Jewelry
Rut Receivers Them.


New York. Oct. 16.-Mrs. Graeme Har-
rison, the sister of F. storrs, a wealthy
summer resident near White Plains, and
Il prominent social leader at Newport
last season, was robbed, OF thought she
vas. in a strange manner OF $16,500
worth of gems and cash on Sunday, and
Monday night the valuables were re-
turned intact in a manner equally as
mysterious.
Mr.. Storrs has a house worth $4,000
overlooking Rye Lake, on the outskirts
of White Plains. and Mrs. Harrison has
been visiting there for some time. Mrs.
Harrison left Rye Lake on Sunday
afternoon to go to Manhattan, where she
had arranged to meet her brother. Mr..
Ogston. On reaching the grand central
station she was met by Mr.. Ogston and
went with him to Morristown, N. j.
On leaving the train at Morristown,
Mrs. Harrison discovered that the
channels bag in which she carried her
diamonds was missing. and she reported
the theft to her relatives, but not to the
police. Mrs. Harrison searched Norris
town and Manhattan Monday. but could
get no trace of her gems. She returned
to the home of Mr.. Storrs Monday night
worn out and almost distracted over her
lcss. She had intended to sail for Eu-
rope on Wednesday with her daughters,
the Misses Marquand, to meet her hus-
hand at London.
She had hardly reached Rye Lake
when Mr.. Storrs received telephone
message from Morristown FOR Mrs. Har-
r.son, which said that her gems has been
found. Mrs. Harrison said:
The theft of my jewelry is all mys-
terry to me. 1t was all a mistake. The
stolen jewelry has been returned to a
member of my family, and shall go to
New Jersey and get it. How the jewels
we're stolen I can not say. I have been
placed in an embarrassing position and
i don't care to say anything further.
You can say, tho. that on account of this
good luck shall sail for England on
Wednesday,"
The channels bag contained three dia-
n1ond brooches, several diamond rings
and pins valued at $4,000, and $1,000 in
each. Information as to the one who
took the bag and who returned 1t is Sc
oretly guarded, as it is said the person
was prominent. and that he took 1t by
mistake.
Mrs. Harrison is Baltimore woman
and was a widow, Mrs. Marquand, when
she married Graeme Harrison, an En-
elishman, several years ago.

Washington, Oct. 17.-There are now
900 lepers and 1874 clean persons at the
Molokai upper settlements in Hawaii, ac-
cording 70 report just received from
Chief Quarantine Officer Cofer, in
charge Of the marine hospital work In
Hawaii. All these are housed, FED,
clothed and governed for $4,000 year.
The report praises the hopeful and
cheerful way in which these poor people
resign themselves to their fate, and
points out that such contentment can
thrive only on comfortable mode of life
and good treatment. Surgeon Cofer re-
ports he made careful inquiries as to the
chances of the Infection of the clean
PEOPLE working among the lepers, and
that the general opinion was that IN
time they would become lepers. In the
last ten years, however. only ten clean
residents have become lepers. The

now, since Turkish soldiers and bash

the ransom is delayed, our condition is

possible you will present to the Turk
