Great National highway.

In the development of these numer-
Gus resources, there must be some ma
tional highway for the travel and traf-
hc Of the nations, and in this onnec
ton the conception of THE Overland
Route" by Abraham Lincoln appears
now in all its grandeur. Senator Ben
ton urged and later on Mr.. Lincoln
selected the Union Pacific as the nat
ural route on which the mighty
streams of western commerce would
be borne, and now the Isthmian canal
is to be built, the waters OF the two
oceans mingled, China, Japan, the
Philippines acd the Antilles, to throw
off the sloth and oppression OF CEN
turtles, 1t will give to the United States
the rich markets Of the Orient, whose
wares and people must pass over the
Union Pacific as the favorite route to
Europe, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Central
and South America and the coast OF
Northern and Western Africa. They In
return will send their products to ex-
change for those of the nations, while
the North and South, East and West
Of the United States will pour their
manufactures, meats, fruits and grains,
into the ports Of every island and ev-
cry continent, receiving their products
in return e the Union Pacific as the
great railroad that has brought the
world together and made our country
first among the nations.

UNAVOIDABLE COMMENTS.
Mexican Papers crlticise Action of
 The Hague In Plus Fund.

Mexico City, October 17.-El Tiempo, leading clerical daily paper here. com ments sharply on the decision at The Hague in the matter of the Plus fund In a leading article Fl Tiempo says the court might have condemned Mexico to pay an amount which might have ruined her without hesitation, and parodying cele- brated phrase, would have said:
 "Eet nations perish, but let principles survive" as if the future of the country was to be "subordinated to the preJu- dices of four old men buried in their studies and who do not know through how many years of self-sacri1ce Mexico had to pass to accumulate the sum in question, which 1t intended to use to give increased impetus to its progress. but which. by stroke of the pen, 1t is forced to deliver to California bishops, who, as the arbitrators well know, will employ it in anything but improvement of the unfortunate Indians in whose behalf they have claimed it."
 Ell Imparcial, a liberal morning paper, comments at length on the decision. which it says proves that the arbi- trators were, though highly respectable, not superhuman, although they made a sufficiently meritorious effort to be im- partial in declaring the interest must be paid in silver.'

ROLLING STOCK LACKING
Shortage Of Cars Prevents Rapid Handling of erains--Reeeipts of Railroads Show They Are
 We'll Occupied.

New York. October 17.-R c. Dunn 6 Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Settlement of the coal strike removes the only serious handicap to industrial progress. Savings have been exhausted and much money has gone out of the country because of this struggle but the nations remarkably strong position as- sures a speedy restoration of prosperous conditions. Transportation Is now the worst feature and threatens to continue disturbing. While the grain crops are be- ing moved the supply of rolling stock and motive power will prove insufficient. That the railways are well occupied Is evidenced by earnings for the first week of October, 3.5 per cent larger than last year and 10.9 per cent above 1900.
 Inadequate supplies of fuel caused fur ther banking of furnaces. but the effect of a decreased output of domestic pig iron has been partially neutralized by larger arrivals from abroad. Practically no price can be named for immediate delivery of home iron and there Is no dASpOSltiOu Ao iHdhe COhOcSSiDHS lOI uis- tant contracts owing to the abnormal coke situation. Fortunately there has been little Interruption at finishing mills and the output of rsfls, structural mate rial and kindred lines is wen maintained. Consumers not only find difficulty in se- curing steel from the mills. but encounter further delay on the railways which are unable to handle freight promptly. Orders come forward freely for the heav- fer lines, numerous contracts being of- fered for steel rails for next years de- livery, and the plans for buildings and bridges keep a lot of business in sight in beams, channels and angels. Plates for ship yards are also sought freely, prices tending upward on tank steel. Higher freight rates have checked im- ports of finished steel.
 Footwear shops are actively engaged. Prices are easily maintained. Leather fall in hides which has been accentuated by the poorer quality now coming on the market Large imports have weakened dry hides. In cotton goods the feature was a purchase of about 250000 pieces of print cloths, while quotations were not altered the tone became decidedly firmer In the divisions of the market buyers are only interested in meeting current demands, future requirements being held back by evidences of weakness in the raw material.
