THE rEHtA NrEpEo EAfIRbAD

1t is evident that the railroad across
the Isthmus of TemuanteDec is soon
going to be an important factor in
TRANSPORTATION. This railroad was built
by the Mexican government at cost
Of $50,000,000, but it wasn't well built.
Awhile ago the Mexican government
entered into a contract with Sir Weet-
man Pearson, the eminent London con-
tractor to give him the use of the rail-
read for fifty years, provided he would
put 1t in first-cass condition for
freight and passenger traffic. Contrac-
$25, 900 900 in London for the work, and
he is now engaged in double tracking,
Strengthening and otherwise improving
the road SO as to enable it to handle
the vast business which he believes is
waiting for it. The work will be
completed in 1902, and, new route for
freight traffic between the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans Will sthen be open. Be-
fore work upon The. Nicaragua canal
can even be begun by our government
this road will be carrying freight, across
this isthmus for the low price of $3.50
per ton. Sir Weetman Pearson will
only have to pay per cent on $25,0O0,
600, or s1.ooO.000 year interest on his
capital, whereas the Nicaragua canal,
If It shall ever be opened, will cost at
least 5000, 900, 900, and interest on the in
vestment, at 4 per cent, will amount
to SS.00O.000 year.

LORD SALISB URY,S LATEST.

Lord Salisbury apparently feels lit
tie better. He has had rest, and he
seems to be more hopeful than he has
sometimes been. He talked at the BAN
quet Of the Nonconfermist Unionist
Association last evening, and his re-
marks were decidedly interesting. He
has burned as brightly during the
South African war as at any other
doesn't think that Englands star has
set when was at the Foreign Of
fice,'' he said II used to hear not in
frequently that our time had passed,
that our star had set, and that we were
living on the valor Of those who had
gone before. The war in South Africa
has shown the strength of England,
which was never more conclusively
shown. There is no power in the world
but now knows that If it defied .he
might of England it would defy one OF
the most formidable enemies it could
encounter
Lord Salisbury's statement that the
strength of England has never been
more concusively shown than in the
South African war seems a trifie over
done, but 1t would go, we suppose, at
arbanquet But his assertion that Eng
land is still formidable Is all right.

In his testimony before the Industrial
! commission at Washington Mr.. Charles
M. Schwab, president of the United
States Steel company, said much that
was interesting. ESPECIALLY interesting
was his statement Of the present post
ton and prospects Of his company. He
considers it not over-capitalized. On
the contrary. he thinks that the assets
have been undervalued. The company
owns iron-ore beds that will yield five
hundred million tons. These are so per
cent. OF the ore deposits In the north
western field, and at the present rate of
consumption they will be exhausted in
sixty years. 1t owns sixty thousand
acres Of coking coal, all there is in the
Connellsville district, and this will be
exhausted in thirty years. These as
sets, in Mr.. Schwabs opinion, are plac-
ed at q low valuation in the company's
inventory.
1t will cheer investors in the United
States Steel company to know that their
property Ia so valuable now, but some
Of the younger ones may not be cheered
by the information that their coke will
be exhausted in thirty years or less
Thirty years is not long time. And,
by the way this testimony about the
assets of the United States Steel COM
pany is calculated to make people who
are not stockholders in it thoughtful.
When the way the earth is being work.
ed lis considered the question arises.
how long will its resources be able to
supply the demand, and what will hap
pen when the pinch comes?

PHOTOGRAPHIC FRESHMEN.
A Strenuous Morning on Cathedra
HEIGHTS

A Strenuous Morning on Cathedral
Heights
| There dripped from the back Of Co.
lumbia univeisity's library yesterday
yellow ooze. About the campus were
lying bits OF clothing and fragments
Of hats with here and there an occa-
sional barrel stave. At about the same
hour some 400 students were exchang-
ing what appeared to be bundles Of
rags for clothing masking more effec-
| tually the lines and curves Of their fig
| ures. While campus employees scrubbed
the walls of buildings and students
scrubbed themselves an elevated train
was carrying down town three disgust
ed and somewhat battered and likewise
decorated photographers, for lPach
Brothers had tried to photograph Co.
lumbia's freshman class against the ex-
pressed will of the sophomores. And
that was what it was all about.
The freshmen had met with great
strategy, their leaders said, at the COM
paratively early hour of 5, behind the
library Their hair was neatly parted
and they had on their best clothes for
the event that means so much to the
ITGSHIndI. mere were SOT0G lHTBG
building joists lying about back of the
library, thirty or forty feet long
Perched upon these, supported by
cross-pieoes, after the fashion of
grand stad, Alfred j. Meyer, one Of
Pach Brothers operators, had posed the
odd 200 constituting the class.
Nov, then, everybody look pleas
ant" the photographer had said, when
there came a faint Jeer lar across the
campus. There was a sound Of men
marching in close battle array, and
then the sophomores came up.
"Is the little sinner having his pic
ture taken?' they inquired. Nov,
baby, look at the pretty bird. See baby,
Birdie"
The sophomores freely gave their
permission to the freshmen to go on
with the picturc-taking process, but
they took care to pass freely between
the camera and the freshmen. There
was an exchange of words between the
two parties, while some of the sopho-
mores tried to upset the camera. But
in addition to Operator Meyer it was

Some men drilling for oil in Ohio
sent q number of nitroglycerine shells
into the hole one of which exploded
when 1t reached depth Of twenty
five feet There was tremendous gush
Of oil, the flow being so strong that the
derrick was deluged from top to bot
tom Apparently here was the biggest
well in the history of the oil business,
and the firm which was doing the drill
ing naturally exulted at the prospect of
O fortune. But their joy was short
lived. The Buckeye Pipe Line COM
pany's eight inch pipe, through which
six thousand barrels of oil pass each
day, suddenly shut down. An inves-
LEGATION was started, and before many
hours it was found that the new well
had been drilled close to the pipe,
which had been broken by the explo-
sion, and the oil, which seemed to come
from the well, really came from the
pipe line This ended the career of a
great spouter."
