tai stock Of 100000. The only part of

MONEY ORDERS FOR CANADA.
Exchanges VIII Be Extended to
Thirty Thousand Offices.

An arrangement has just been concluded
between the United States and Canada I'M
der which all postal moneys sent between
this country and Canada will go at the do
nestle rate of $40 of 1 per cent instead of
the international rate of per cent as at
present. This concession is regarded as
more important to the money order bust
ness than any action taken since the in
ception of the system. Negotiations had
been in progress for some time between the
respective postal administrations looking
to the further unification of the postal sys-
TENS of the United States and Canada with
respect to the money order business. The
money orders annually sent to Canada now
aggregate about s.. .000, and in the other
direction a little less than that amount.
The exchange of these orders is now re-
stricted to 4.0G0 offices in this country, but
under the new arrangement will be ex-
tended to 80, 200 offices in this country any
money order office in either country being
thus authorized to issue or pay them.
1t is expected that the radical reduction
in the rate will treble the business. The
reduction is especially important to BUSH
ness interests along the border. 1t is prob
able that similar arrangements viii be
made with the Philippines, Cuba and else
where.

REDUCING THE ASIATIC STATION
Matter BEING Considered by the
Bureau of NaNigafiOn

The prospective reduction of the United
States naval force now on the Asiatfc sta
ton is beginning to assume definite form.
Thus far the matter has not been finally
considered by the President, nor has Sec
rotary Long had an opportunity to confer
with Admiral Remey. But the naval bu-
reau of navigation, which has charge of
the assignment OF ships to the various
stations. has proposed that there be a re-
duction of the force on the Asiatic sta
ton. This has been based on a considera-
ton of the needs of the navy and without
reference to any of the political questions
involved.
Should 1t be decided to reduce the force
the homeward movement of vessels prob
ably would not begin before summer AS
yet no consideration has been given to
the disposition of the ships when they are
relieved from service in the far east. 1t
Is expected, however, that the north At
lantlc squadron will be augmented by at
least one or two ships, while the south
Atlantic and the Pacific stations also will
be reinforced Quite number of the ships
Will have to go out of commission, as they
have seen long service in tropical waters,
and will need pretty general oyerhauling.

TROLLEY ROAD PROTECTED.
Rumor of One Between baltimore and
NashingtOn.

\ special to the Baltimore Sun of today
from Cleveland. Ohio, says:
a strong syndicate OF Cleveland and Ak
ron capitalists, at the head of which are
1-amprecht Bros. & Co.. F. N Wilcox and
James Chr1sty. jr., have organized the
Observation-Disclosures Electric Railway
Company and will build a trolley road from
Washington to Baltimore and also to An
napoiiS.
Engineers and rights-of-way men are al
ready at work The road will be construct
ed regardless of expense and as quickly as
possible. 1t will be one of the most COM
piete electric railways in the world.
'Messrs. Lamprecht Christy and Wilcox
have been engaged in this enterprise for
about year, arranging preliminaries, OBJ
tanning franchises and selecting a route
Ihey are encouraged over the outlook, and
although nothing has been said publicly
about their purposes or labors the capital
OF Sl.5O0O00 has been oversubscribed
The railway will extend from the limits
Of the District of Columbia to the Balti-
more city line. a distance of thirty-three
miles and from a point the line about
midway between Washington and Balti-
more TO Annapolis, distance OF fifteen
miles
The company will operate within the
city OF Annapolis, having obtained a long
and liberal franchise in that municipality
The entire system will be operated from
one power station on the Patuxent river
between Washington and Baltimore.
arrangements will probably be made for
the operation of cars from the limits of
the District of Columbia to the center OF
the city of Washington over the tracks of
the Washington Traction and Electric
Company
There is no way to ascertain here
whether or not there is any truth I'm the
above report. and there has existed an i'm
preston that it would require a special
act OF the legislature of Maryland to per
nit the building of any such railroad 1t
is understood however, that under the
constitution of Maryland the county COM
missioners are vested with the necessary
authority in the premises

A Hell of a Time.

Three San Francisco drummers who
had been up against it somewhere, rode
into town Thursday. We thought it
was a "tin horn show, as they were
riding burros. The two youngest, Lit
tie and Jones, presented a sorry sight
broken hats, ragged clothes and
faces that would shame Weary Willie.
The leader, Levy, vas a spectacle.
On his back was a placard which read
as follows:
81 am out on a hell of a time. If |
cannot stand, tie this in my button hole.

They stopped long enough to sell
every business house a bill of goods

Lem Aliens Bill Misconstrued.

Hon. Lem Allen. the war-horse Of
of the Assembly and patriarch of that
body, is being jumped right and left by
the press of the State. because of a
bill he introduced which lowers the
salaries, Of State officers.
Where the papers made their mis-
take is in the allegation that Mr.. Aliens
bill provides for the payment of salaries
out of the school fund.
Inquiry made by the Journal repre-
sentative reveals the fact that the meas
ure stipulates that only the salary Of
the Surveyor-G General shall be paid out
Of the school fund. This seems per-
fectly proper, as his duties are largely
concerned with school lands. Let the
false apprehension concerning Mr.. Al

EARLY sTRAws OF FASHION.

Fancies for the Coming Spring that Have
Won the Approval OF French Women.
The dropping Of hats will be much
seen in the Spring.
Gowns are made long on the shout
ders; yokes and collarettes are run down
long on the shoulders, or the shoulders
are trimmed.
Tucks will be very much in evidence
the coming spring and summer.
1t is really too early to tell whether
the Juror for gold will run over into an
other season. We must wait ard see
if we feel gold when the summer days
come. Cravats are e on the new
cloth gowns.
Cashmeres will be popular the COM
ing spring and all the women at Nice
and Monte Carlo are wearing the light
pastel shades in cloth and the pale
pinks. blues and beiges, as usual.
Mixed cloths are very much seen
that is to say, black with a liberal pep
pering of white, gray with white, and
pastel blue.
For slender women nothing can be
prettier for the spring than the boleros
with basque backs consisting Of three
little pieces on each side, one over the
other. and rounded al the ends. Above
these pieces is a belt.-Katharine de
