enteen hundred tons and a swift and

whether she remains here as a station

the Secretary of the Navy.

Honolulu. She will be the first steam
collier of the navy to come to this
port The Alexander carries 1862 tons
of Pocahontas coal for the naval sta
ton according to the bills of lading re-
ceived at the navy office. Her captain
is E. P. D. Nichols and she will make
stops at Santiago, Havana and other
southern ports, leaving supplies along
the way. Her trip around the Horn, it
is expected, will consume less than a
hundred days and she should arrive
early in March.
From this port she will go to Guam
to relieve the collier now at that port.
The coal brought by the Alexander is
for the use OF the vessels of the navy
only and not for those of the army
transport service. This is the first car
so of coal brought on steam collier
to Honolulu, as formerly the coal has
always come by sailing vessel under a
separate contract. One result will be
a reduction in the price of coal to ma
val vessels, as there is not the addi-
tional charge for feight when coal is
brought by vessel of the department.

.ae trains will be the fastest long dis tance flyers in the world.
 The distance , etween Chicago and New York by the Lake Shore is 975.5 miles. By the Pennsylvania it is 912 miles, In order to cover the distance in twenty hours it will be necessary for the former train to make an average speed including all stops of 4S97 miles an hour, and for the latter to average 45.6 miles. To &C., complish this the actual running speed between stops will have to average about a mile minute, and in order to make up for time lost on heavy grades, slow-ups for crossings. and within city limits the engines on level and clear stretches will often be driven at a rate of seventy and even eighty miles an hour.
 Americas reputation for doing things in a hurry is we'll established abroad. but rarely has slow old Europe received such a jolt in the language of the streets as she did when the official announce ment of the new twentyhour specials was made last week. Railroad operators in England and on the continent heard of the new venture and stood aghast. The people of Paris, Berlin and London 1earn- ed of it and doubted it's truth. The papers took it up and commented upon it, many declaring the thing impractical if not inn possible.

with an eye to the convenience of bus mess men. Chicago or New York mer- chants or financiers will be able to save nearly a whole day hitherto lost when their engagements took them from one city to the other. It will now be possible for them to devote the entire morning to their affairs in their own city, reach the other city at the opening of business the next day. have from four to six hours there, and be back at their home offices at the usual hour on the third day.
 As time savers to men who are compell- ed to transact business in two places over 900 miles apart. these trains will have no equal In the world. In no other country. in fact can men do this without the loss of an entire day.
 In spite of the fact that Little Elem" is considerably elated over being chosen to pull the Lake Shore Twentieth Gen. tury Limited" out of Chicago today, he declares that he does not regard the twenty-hour run as much.

 Could the run be made with safety in less timer" he was asked.
 Tt certainly could but the question is. Would 1t pay? The distance could be

 They are expecting a whole lot out Of you and me and that big fellow he said, pointing to the locomotive and addressing himself to his fireman "Bilf' Reinking. q guess we can give them satisfaction, all right, don't you?'
 The fact uppermost in the minds of both Flemming and Holmes was that Chicago at noon today would be just four hours nearer New York than 1t was yesterday.
 They knew that neither city was going to be picked up in the night and moved bodily in the direction of he other nor that an earthquake or any other upheav- al of nature was to drop part of the in- tervening territory into space The fact remained however, that almost half of business day was to be saved in the fu- ture by the man who travels from the Western metropolis to the Eastern or vici versa.
 This greater proximity that worried the two engineers had been brol ght about by an arrangement by the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern and the Pennsylvania railroads by which special trains making the run between the TWO cities in twenty four hours, were to be operated over both routes This is the shortest time in which the journey has been accomplished since the year of the Columbian exposition, and

have decided that by charging an extra dollar in the fare for every our reduced from the regular twenty-four hour sched- ule the loss in twenty hour schedule will be covered. This makes the fare BPS, not including the cost of sleeping car ac- .comodations. which is s5 No day coaches will be run on either of these fast trains so the sleeping-car tickets are required for passage.

 Nine Months later they were down at the Depot to meet Wilbur.

THE UNDERWRITERS SYNDICATE OF TODAY

of the Steel Corporation, which is said to have been $90,000,000 of stock in the corporation.
 Another instance of underwrit- ing profits is the recent conversion of $200,000,000 of preferred steel stock into bonds and the addition al fioatation of $50,000,000 bonds, The syndicate, also formed by MT. Morgan, placed the matter before the stockholders and the entire amount was taken up in the course of three weeks. For this the syndicate received 4 per cent on the entire amount, or S10,000,- GOO. A nice amount of money for three weeks work.
 One of the companies, namely, the Northern Securities Company, did not come before the public in such prominent way, mainly be- cause the promoters scented trouble. But 1t Is nevertheless a fact that it's affairs were also in the hands of an underwriting syn dicate, naturally headed by J. P. Morgan. There was no advertis- ing the sale of stock or bonds, be-
