FROM The INSIDE.
Coast Line and Southern Said to
Be Uniting to Absorb Plant
System.

A veteran railroad man who is in a
position to get the inside. of a
good many goings on in railroad
circles SAYS that The report that the
Pennsylvania was about to buy up
the Coast Line was not true. :.
He gives it as coming from relia-
BILE source that the true explanation
of the rise in the Coast Line stock is
due to the fact that the Coast Line
and the Southern are to join together
and buy up the Plant system. The
road is the the Florida West Indian
connection of the two lines and the
Seaboard. The opposition line already
had entrance into the promised land Of
the South through the F. G. d ?.
The Plant sysem is the old road and
ramifes through the State and has ex-
tensive Georgia connections and into
Alabama, very rich territory, and
the road is considered as a fine piece
of property. Since Mr.. Plants death
it does not seem to have had the sue
cessful management that it had be-
fore, and the two great systems which
are dependent on it for southern con-
nections have Joined together in Sc
curing it between them, which will
prevent any war Of rates or business
between the Coast Line and..Southern.
The Coast Line connects with the
Plant at Charleston and the Southern
connects near Savannah.
There are prominent men in all of
these roads who own stock, and large
blocks Of it. in the ether lines, and
there is no lack of harmony between
them. This is believed to be the most
plausible explanation of the recent
sensation in railroad circles.-Flor-

MAKING A NATION OF CUBA.
plans 10 Give the Little Republic
Dignity---Hany ConsuIs TO Be
Appointed.

Washington, March 26.-It is the
present understanding that Gonzalez
de Ouesada, formerly Cuban commls-
sioner. will be the first minister iron
Cuba to the United States.
The United States diplomatic repre-,
sentatives to Cuba will be full
aedged minister and not commls-
sioner. President Roosevelt is about
to send message to congress to secure
legislative authority for the appoint
ment of such minister, as well as Tor
The half dozen United States consuls
VINO must be appointed. There are no
less than 200 applications on lie for
these consulates. The president has
not vet indicated the person he Will
name as United States minister to
Cuba. but in view OF the fact that this
Official must plunge at once into the
difficult task Of negotiating a fabric
of treaties with the new republic, 1t is
eypected that the choice will fall upon
some one not altogether lacking IN
diplomatic experience. Ihe cnolce
will certainly not fall upon an army
or naval officer in the present state OF
mind of the executive. The presump-
lion is that the salary attached to the
Office Will be in the neighborhood OF
1850 per ann1m-
Preliminary steps already have been
taken by the United States govern
ment to locate the naval and coal
ing stations which, by the terms OF the
PIatt amendment. are to be ceded by
treaty to the United States. Rear
Admiral Bradford, chief Of the equip
ment bureau of the navy department.,
for the last two weeks has been cruls-
ing in West Indian waters, partlcu-
larly directing his attention to Cuoan
ports. Yesterday he arrived at Guam
tanamo and it is believed here will be
located the principal, if not the only,
United States naval station IN Cuba.
The harbor is capable of easy defense
against an enemy and the health con-
ditions are better than in Santiago.
There also is more anchorage room. ).
The Cubans do not want a naval
station at Habana proper and the
United States government isw llllng
to deter to the Cuban national PRIDE
IN this matter. But one of the coal
INC. stations without defenses, and
er5irely different from naval station
will be located in Habana harbor,
probably at Triscornia, just across the
bay from Habana and connecting by
rail with the princial railway system.

Nothing Burglar Proof.

There is no such thing as burglar
proof vault or safe, according to re-
port that was submittd today by treas
ury experts to Assistant Secretary
Taylor.
The best tempered steel of usual
thickness is not proof against a new
chemical compound which up.to-date
professional cracksmen have learned
TO use. This compound, called ther-
mite, when mixed with magnesium
powder, will destroy the hardness IN
the metal, enabling cracksman with
ordinary tools to cut into it as though
it were lead. For this reason, Mr..
Taylor believes the treasury ought not
to continue to expend large sums of
money in the construction of so called
burg glar-proof vaults and strong boxes.
The Investigation was made by ):
E. Powell, chief mechanical and
electrical engineer of the treasury, and
John P. Bergin, vault, safe and lock
expert. They went to Chicago and
other cities and experimental with
thermite and also electricity. An ap-
plication of thermite and magnesium
made to a steel plate of the highest
temper, and fve-eights of an inch III
thickness reduced the metal to con-
dition making is possible to cut hole
through it with an ordinary chisel.
The experts say that the best means
of security against professional cracks
men is to be found in an electrical sig
nal system, which when disarranged
by burglars, would sound dll alarm.

nents with Manager Luckett to occupy
the stage OF the Columbia Theater for
an extended period. presenting the very
best plays that are available for stock
purposes and putting them on in first

cast of exceptional merit.
II is Mr.. Arden's intention to bring to
Washington Il company of undoubted
merit, and those who are familiar with
his own work and his ideas as to what
stage performance should be. know
that he will give Washingtonians
series OF performances that have never
been equaled by any stock company that
has ever played in this city.
Last spring, during Mr.. Ardens en-
gagcment with the Lafayette company.
he did some brilliant acting. and is
easily the best leading man ever with

capable of giving finished performances.
