CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS.
No Plan Decided Upon by the Wa
Department.

No Plan Decided Upon by the War
Department..
1t is said at the War Department that no
plan Of action has been decided upon with
reference to the cases of Nicely, Rathbone
ct al. in connection with the Cuban postal
frauds, in anticipation Of the decision of
the Supreme Court in the Nicely case in
volving the question Of the Jurisdiction OF
the United States in Cuban affairs. The
statement was made, however, that the
cases undoubtedly would be prosecuted in
this country in the possible event that the
Supreme Court should decide against the
extradition of Nicely. In what manner this
would be done was not explained, but 1t
was stated that Nicely might possibly be
tried in New York on the charge on which
he was arrested, viz, bringing stolen goods
into the country, IL it should be decided
that he could not be sent to Cuba for trial
on the charge of embezzling public funds.
Secretary Root says that future action in
these cases would depend entirely upon the
character Of the decision Of the Supreme
Court.
The message sent by the President to the
Senate declining the request Of that body
made in a resolution passed on the 10Th OF
December and addressed to the Secretary
Of War for the transmittal Of the Lawshe

Eighty-three complaints were satisfied as

mission. Some cases Involving criminal vio-
lations Of the statute have been disposed Of
upon pleas Of guilty and the imposition Of

Profits of the Railways.
The opinion is repeated that a bureau of
statistics and accounts, under the direction
OF the commission, should be established.
The advisability Of providing for monthly
reports OF earnings and expenses from OPP
Grating railways is also suggested.
An abstract Of the preliminary report on
the income account of railways in the
United States for the year ending June 30,
1900, prepared by the statistician to the
commission, appears in the report.
The preliminary report is based upon re-
turns OF operating roads representing $780,
4O8.O9 miles of line, or about 0S per cent of
the mileage in operation at the end of the
year. The gross earnings Of these roads
were 81. 4S0, 673,O 54, or $7,776 per mile of
line. Of these earnings 1896 800, 760 were
classed as passenger earnings and $1,O4S,-
26S, S15 as freight earnings. The net earn
ings were $523, S5S ,912 for 1900, or $73. no.
TAT more than they were for 1899. Income
from investments and other sources amount
ing to $G0,6757CO We're received, so that
the total income was $5S4, 534. 612.
The total deductions from income were
1905 ,S11 056. This item includes interest on
bonds, rents for leased lines, taxes G44.-
1906, 1859 and other charges to income. The
amount Of dividends declared was 500,
4OO,147. which Is $27.555,3SS greater than
the amount declared by corresponding roads
for 1899. The resulting surplus from the
operation of the roads covered by this pre-
liminary report was 1898 400. The sur
plus shown in the final report for the pre-
ceding year was 500, 064 S77.

British Colonies Were an Extensive
Purchaser Of British Goods.

British Colonies Were an Extensive
Purchaser of British Goods.
British colonies furnished in 1899
market for over $500, 600 worth of Brit
ish goods. The Statistical Abstract for
the several colonies and other possessions
Of the United Kingdom" which presents
the details Of the commerce and conditions
Of the British colonies in the year 1880,
compared with preceding years, has just
reached the treasury bureau of statistics.
1t shows that the British colonies through
out the world, imported in 1899, goods
valued at over a billion dollars, and Of this
amount. over $500, 100000 was from the
united kingdom.
England's largest colony, Of course, is
British India. Its total imports in 1899 are
given in round terms at f6O,OOO,OOO Cor
about s3OOOOOO oO). Of which f4O.OOO,OO0 (or
about 500 200, OOO) were imported from the
united kingdom
Next in Importance Is Canada, whose
total imports amounted to fa,O0O,OO0. but
which takes only f6.61SOOO in value from
the united kingdom; the chief reason OF this
small proportion being her immediate prox-
unity to the United States, which can sup
ply more promptly and conveniently her
varied wants.
Next in Importance is the group Of
Australasian colonies, whose reports show
on the face an importation in round num-
berS OF over tiO,UUU,OOO III 1000, though tHe
fact that each colony counts IAN i'm
portation," anything coming from any
other Australian colony, even though mere
ly brought across the line from adjoining
territory makes this statement OF Austral-
ian imports a misleading one. A care
full analysis Of the real import trade Of the
Australian colonies shows that their Inn
portations from countries outside Of the
Australian continent amount to about 90
per cent Of the sum which they name as
imports" Basing an estimate upon this
analysis Of the 1898 figures, it may be as
sumed that the imports Of the Australian
continent in 1899 were not far from 10000
GOO, Of which the united kingdom. although
located on the opposite side Of the globe
furnished over f26,OOO,OOO in value.
The value of the importations of the
British West indies in 1899 Is f6.711. 600 Tor
about $33, 300, OOO. of which f2.722.OOO Cor
about 13,61O,OOO) were from the united
kingdom.
The African colonies show total imports
of $3.50 100000 in value, Of which $s5,0Oc.-
600 are from the united kingdom. AT the
Cape Of Good Hope alone. the imports Of
the year are in round terms $1OO,ooo,ooo OF
which $65, 600, 900 are from the united king

United States Consul Fee at Bombay has
forwarded to the State Department the fol-
lowing letter received by him from Lord
Curzon, viceroy of India. expressing his
appreciation Of the contributions made by
the American people for the relief Of the
famine sufferers In India:
1.-THE viceroy has the greatest pleasure in
adding his testimony to that which he un-
derstands that you are sending to the
American peopie-as to the immense value
Of the contributions that have been made
by the American public to the relief of the
recent Indian famine. Whether these con-
tributions have taken the form of money,
or clothing, or grain, they have sprung
from the two nobest Of human sentiments,
viz, the feeling for suffering manhood and
the recognition Of common aid between
the two great branches of the English
speaking race, and they have exercised a
positive and material influence in the miti-
cation of the greatest calamity with which
