Lord George Hamilton, secretary Of
state for India. has written an i'm
portant letter to John George Alexsn-
der Baird, M. p, member Of a great
Scotch firm, on how to keep orders for
locomotives in England. Lord Hamil-
ton says the requirements Of India and
South Africa in this line are increasing
greatly, and will continue to do so.
Orders have gone to Germany and
America because the firms in those
countries can deliver the engines much
quicker than the English builders.
Lord George Hamilton says British
manufacturers must therefore in
crease their means of production.

Living stones of the South Sc.

The visitor to the Falkland islands
sees n number of what appear to be
weather. beaten, moss-cOvered boulders
of various sizes scattered here and
there. On attempting to turn one over
he is surprised to find that it is an
chored to the ground by roots of great
strength. These are not boulders;
they are trees! No other place in the
world can show such n peculiarity of
forest" growth. The Falkland islands
are exposed to strong Polar wind
which renders it impossible for trees
to grow in the proper form; nature
has consequently adapted herself to
the prevailing conditions and produced
this strange form of plant life. These
living stones." as they are called, are
quite devoid of grain" and 1t is next
to impossible to cut them up and util-
ize them for fuel.

Judge johnson submitted his view In

the charges. He was not the least bit
backward In expressing his idea that
the charges, II true, were disgrace TO

said he was ut loss to know Just

one, two, three or more members of
the Bar Association be called in for
consultation, with view to having
the association conduct the investiga-
ton. Judge Carpenter coincided with
Judge Malone's view.
Judge Mullins however, requested
that, since the affair arose in his court
he ought to be permitted to conduct
the investigation, and insisted that his
request be granted. 1t did not take

Continuing the estimate says:

the National Steel Company has 12,-

False Impression Corrected - Pam
American Exposition Railroad Fares
and Hotel Rates Low as Could be
Expected.
Buffalo, N. Y, July 30.-A joint
meeting of railway passenger agents,
hotel and newspaper men was held
this afternoon with the view of adopt
ing some means for correcting SO far
as possible the impression that ap-
pears to prevail at distant points that
railway rates to the Pan-American Ex-
position are high and that hotel rates
in Buffalo are excessive. The confer
ence revealed the fact that Buffalo can
accommodate two hundred thousand
visitors in its private houses and ho-
tells at rates ranging from fifty cents
to two dollars per night, and that no
one need pay more than one dollar
for first-class lodging in a private
house. 1t was also shown that the
railroad rate is lower than for any
former exposition for a five, ten or
fifteen day ticket, according to dis
tance, being at the rate of one fare
plus one dollar for the round trip,
from all parts of the country. The
Niagara Falls cheap, one-day special
excursions of former years, when
trains were overcrowded and everyone
subjected to great discomfort. are re-
membered only SO far as the low rate
is concerned, and this is quoted as
showing what might be done. The
passenger agents assert that the pres
ent half rates are as low as can rea-
sonably be expected. An extension of
the present limit has been looked for,
as it gives too short time for anyone
to see the big exposition, but it has
not yet been modified. Other points
which the representatives of the pub
fishers association will lay stress
upon are that the Exposition is COM
pleted in all details and that both
Buffalo and the Exposition are we'll
policed and as free from dangerous
characters as any city in the country.
A joint committee was appointed to
deal with questions affecting the Ex-
position and the proper welcome and
care of guests. The Exposition has
had in operation for some time free
bureau of information for the conve-
nience of intending visitors.

PbiI,ees Couldn't xeeo Vo

Speaking of the suspension of his
commission house, Corn King" Phil
lips says: I'm nutshell, it was
case of too much business. 1t has
grown SO rapidly that our facilities
for taking care of it have not kept
pace with it. Money came easy and
it went easy" says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
On reading this one naturally recalls
the fact that not so very long ago Mr..
Phillips made speech in Minneapolis
in which he proposed case of great
deal more business-so much more as
to make the Phillips commission busi-
ness look like molehill beside a
mountain in the comparison.
The business which he proposed
was nothing less than that Of keeping
corn forever cornered, with so cents
per bushel as the minimum price. In
order to work this business success
fully he proposed to establish bank
with capital of $5O,0O0.0OO or such
matter and to establish mammoth
elevators also to store the corn Of
fered by farmers as security for loans
from the big banks on the basis of SO
cents bushel, with margin Of 10
cents off.
The magnitude of the business had
no terrors for the corn king" when
he made that speech. In his mind he
had no trouble in conducting a bank
with $50, ,OO0,O 900 or more capital and an
elevator business running up to hun
dreds of millions of bushels. In his
mind, too, it was perfectly simple
matter to keep the price of corn up to
SO cents bushel or above.
What does he think of 1t now? He
admits that his respectable but COM
paratively trihing commission business
has run away from him. He has not
been able to keep up with 1t or keep
track of it. Does he still think he
could keep up with his rousing per-
petual corner business? Money came
easy and 1t went easy" in his little
business; how does he think Al might
be with that tremendously big busi-
ness? Might not the easy-coraing
money 60 too easily?
