naval circles as to who was responsible for
Cervera's defeat these suggestions from
Spain may be of value.

B. & o.'s NEW SYSTEM.
Hall Safety Signals to Be Used for
Moving Freight Trains.

In order to insure absolute safety along
it's Line, and to increase the efficiency OF
its train service, the work of installing
the Hall safety signal system on the
main line Of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road between Philadelphia and Balti-
more has been rapidly progressing for
several weeks. Already several miles OF
track has been covered.
The contract calls for the covering Of
the entire distance by August l, which,
considering the distance, is considered
t. require prompt work.
While the Hall people are fulfilling
their part of the contract it is the pur-
pose of the railroad company to begin
work on extension sidings. These are to
be go constructed that instead Of holding
freight trains until passenger trains have
oyertaken and passed them, they will be
enabled to continue running, parallel to
the main track.
These sidings, Of which there are to be
several, will be protected by The latest
interlccking switch devices and also with
what are known as "derail tracks" to
prevent any possibility of pccident.
When these are completed and the Hal
system installed the track between the
two cities will be in perfect condition.

Attorney General Griggs Working
ON Case of Alaskan Judge.
Washington, March 25.-Attorney
General Griggs, probably as his last
official act before retiring from the
cabinet this week, will prepare the Off
cial charge against Judge Arthur p.
Noyes of the United States court in
northern Alaska. There are many
complaints against Judge NOyes, the
Nome chamber of commerce being
back of some of them. The principal
charge is that he was n partner of
Alexander Mckenzie, whom he ap-
pointed receiver for valuable mining
properties at Nome. Corrupt use of
money in various ways is also alleged.
The United States supreme court has
denied the application of Alexander
Mckenzie for leave to file petition
for writ of habeas corpus releasing
him from Imprisonment in California
under the proceeding of the circuit
court of appeals for contempt in con-
nection with his conduct as receiver Of
certain mines in Alaska.
The decision of the court was based
on the ground that n habeas corpus
proceeding cannot be made the basis
of a proceeding in error. The opinion
was handed down by the chief Justice.
