vocal and instrumental music, games,
recitations and speaking constituted
the evening REIMBURSEMENT, after which
an elaborate supper was served. At
the end of the supper Examiner Ed

thanks be rendered Mrs. Loewenstein
for the excellent and artistic manner
in which it was prepared which was
unanimously given. Those present
were Examiner E. A. Browning, Profs.

West Virginia Central Buyers, 1t Is Said,
Will Build.
CUMBERLAND, Md, March lit is
stated here that the purchasers of the
West Virginia Central and Pittsburg
railway are Edward L. Fuller, of
Scranton; the Moses Taylor estate,
heavily interested in the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western; Walter
Scranton, president of the Lacka-
wanna Iron and Steel Company; Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, Walter Delano,
president of numerous coal companies
and director in the Lackawanna
Iron and Steel Company, and Fairfax
s. Landstreet, who has been general
manager Of the coal interests of the
West Virginia Central. Mr.. Land
street, it is said, is interested entirely
on his own account and not as rep
resentative Of the Davis and Elkins
families.
The syndicate, it is also stated, will
build 175-mile outlet to tidewater.
Because of being at the mercy of
other roads the West Virginia ton
mage has increased only 80 per cent.
while the increase of other lines has
averaged 100 per cent. 1t is said that
the first step taken will be to utilize
the Little Kanawha railroad and
other small lines which have recently
changed hands with the view to Sc
curing direct connection with the
Wabash and Western market and
also securing to the Wabash what
George J. Gould has so long desired
"a good supply of Eastern coal
1t is stated that the West Virginia
Central syndicate has procured the
Roaring Creek and Belington and the
Roaring Creek and Charleston rail
roads, with which the West Virginia
connects. Between 30 and 40 miles of
road and several thousand acres of
good coal would go with the latter
sale. Important changes in the oper-
alton of the West Virginia Central
are looked for April 1.
The bill to enlarge the powers of
the Chesapeake and Cumberland rail
road, projected from Cumberland to
Annapolis, is believed to have bear

BOUNDARY TO BE DETERMINED.
Plan to Settle Dispute Between Maryland
and West Virginia.

Plan to Settle Dispute Between Maryland
and West Virginia.
In the House last Wednesday, Del
egate Ashby, of Garrett county, pre-
sented a joint resolution designed to
bring about a final settlement and ad-
justment of the disputed land be-
tween West Virginia and Maryland.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, under the provisions of
chapter 563 of the acts of 1890 the At
torney General of the State was di-
rected to take such steps as might be
necessary to obtain a decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States
to settle the controversy between the
State of Maryland and the State of
West Virginia concerning the true To-
cation of that portion of the bound
airy line between the two States lying
between Garrett county, Md, and
Preston county, W. Va; and
Whereas, acting under the author
ity aforesaid, the Attorney General
instituted a proceeding in the Su-
preme Court of the United States and
under his direction and in pursuance
of an order Of said court said bound
airy line has been located and the
plats and returns concerning the same
have been made up and are ready to
be filed in said court; and
Whereas it appears that the fur
Their progress of said ease is delayed by
the inaction of the State of West Vir-
ginia and its representative having
said matter in charge; and
Whereas a large area of territory
is in dispute and conflicts are constant
ly arising between the authorities of
Garrett county, Md, and Preston
county, W. Va, respecting the jusis-
diction of said counties over persons
and property in said counties; and
Whereas it is apprehended that
the only way by which the said case
can be pushed to speedy conclusion
is to have the Attorney General APP
ply to said court for a rule on the
State of West Virginia to proceed;
now, therefore,
BE it resolved by the General AS
sembly of Maryland, That the Attor-
ney General be, and he is hereby,
authorized and directed to apply to
the Supreme Court of the United
States for rule to be laid upon the
State of West Virginia, or its legal
representatives, in said court to show
cause why it should not proceed in
such case.
And be it further resolved, That
the Attorney General be, and he is
hereby authorized and directed with
the rules and practice of said court to
push the case to a speedy conclusion. y

There is very little fighting going
on over here now. II there is a small
detail goes out it is generally attack
ed, if the detail is large one it is sell
dom bothered.
We have been on the hike for the
last three or four months and have
not had an engagement that amount
ed to anything. We came to this
place on the oath of December and
have done nothing since but work
around in the mud and up until a
few days ago we we're in tents with
out any floors in them and the mud
almost knee-deep. Every one is com
planning of sore feet which is caused
by the mud. We are now quartered
in bamboo barracks which we built
ourselves. They are about 200 feet
10 ng by 30 feet wide and there was
not nail used in building them. The
rainy season is on in this island now.
Scarcely an hour passes during the
day but that it rains.
There was detail from this COM
pany went out on hike last week
and burnt several barracks of General
Lucban's forces, who deserted them
as soon as they found out our boys
were coming, and notices were found
tackled up in several places asking for
volunteers from the Americans. The
general and his men are nothing more
than outlaws running from one place
to another collecting taxes off Of all
the natives they meet. They are all
the time hurting defiances at the U. S.
troops, but they never have the nerve
to come out and fight like men, for if
they did they know they would get
all that is coming to them.

TO SPEND MILLIONS
BALTIMORE & OHIO IMPROVEMENTS
DURING 1902 WILL COST
$5O,OOO,OOO
PENNSYLVANIA Rack OF IT
Corps of Engineers Has Inspected
the Road and Report That 1t
Could BE Improved
Greatly.

CHICAGO, jan 10.-Improvements to
be made on the Baltimore & Ohio sys-
tenn during 1902 will cost fully $5O,OOO,OO0
a large portion of which sum, according to
a statement made today by the Record
Herald is to be expended on the lines
west of Pittsburg to Chicago.
This large sum of money was deter
mined upon after a careful inspection
OF the system by President Loree. and
II was followed by detailed estimates by
engineering and operating staffs of what
the system needs to place it III perfect
physical condition. Accordingly 1t Is an
nounced that President Loree's budget
for the current year fixes the total sum
for betterments to the system at the fig
ure mentioned above.
Less than two years ago the Baltimore
& Ohio management began the physical
regeneration of the system by determin-
ing to spend $25000,000 for betterments.
At that time the sum was almost unprec-
edented in railroad improvements for one
year. Later it was found that the work
contemplated could not be done for the
sum mentioned. and the appropriation
was increased to $40,000,000 Later anoth-
er 100000 was raised by special bonds
bringing the total sum up to $50. 600, 000
The acquisition of new lines and the con-
solidation of the system has made it ad-
visable to appropriate an equal sum for
Improvements, bringing the grand total
for the system within two years to $780,
0O0 ,O00
In considering the matter of improve
ments it is assumed that the Fennsvl-
Vania management is back Of the latest
movement for the Baltimore & Ohio sys-
TEN. The Pennsylvania budget recent
ly made up contemplates an expenditure
for betterments and new terminals of
nearly 100000 600, so that the Pennsyl-
vania has in reality decided that total
of about $780, 600 will put into good con-
dition the two systems which comprise
their main properties.

GRAIN EXPORTS DECREASE.
Roads to Shipping Points Suffer, bTt
Better Times Are Looked For

President Stuyvesant Fish, of the I'M
nOis Central, confirms the reports that
during the last three or four months the
grain exports of this country have SUI
fered a serious falling off. He thinks the
reason for it is either that our prices
are too high or European prices are too
low. He believes that time will remedy
this, and that the remedy will be found
in a decline Of our prices and rise of
theirs, which means a meeting halfway.
Europe, he says, needs our grain but he
does not think they will pay present
prices for it. The Illinois Central has suf-
fered through this falling off in export
grain, but the cOnpany's decrease has not
been in proportion to the decrease on the
whole, because New Orleans. to which it
carries grain, is the port where the fall
ing off has been least felt.
Railroads both East and West are no
longer complaining seriously of a car
shortage. Grain traffic from the Missouri
river and from Chicago to the Atlantic
seaboard has been steadily declining dur
ing the last two or three months. and
shippers are not willing or able to pay
the high tariff rates put in effect on
