Acting Secretary Spalding hos is
sued an amended Cuban quarantine
circular, in which he says that in
view of the improved conditions in
the ports of Cuba and the fact that
there has been no yellow fever report
ed in that island in 1902 to the pres
ent time, the season of close quaran-
tine for yellow fever-that is, the
season during which detention Of per
sons and disinfection of vessels from
infected ports is demanded against
the Island of Ouba--is postponed un-
til June 1, 1902. This postponement
does not, however, obviate the neces-
sity of Inspection, and applies only to
Cuba. The surgeon general Of the
marine hospital service is authorized
to put in effect the close quarantine
Immediately should changed condi-
tions require it.

1t is learned that if the civil action
against the beef trust be successful a
criminal action will be instituted.
Aside from this news and the de-
parture of W. A. Day, Mr.. Knox s
special assistant attorney general, for
Chicago to begin the legal fight
against the beef trust, the most inter-
esting development in this national
scandal is to be found in the declara-
ton of Senators Foraker and Elkins
for an immediate repeal of the tariff
on beef. mutton, FORK and veal.

When Cuba enters the family of ma
tions, next month, immediate nego-
tiations will be begun between the
new government and the United
States to determine the ownership Of
the Island Of Pines and to settle upon
the points which will be retained as
American naval and coaling stations.
These negotiations promise to raise
tho first serious dispute between Cuba
and the United States. When Presi-
dent Palma was in Washington sew
oral weeks ago, he informed Secretary
of War Root that the Cubans would
under no consideration permit the
United States to fly it's flag over ma
val or coaling station on the shores
of tho harbor of Havana. No objec-
tion will be raised by the Cubans of
the location of naval or coaling stu
tion in other parts of the island. 1t
is, however, matter of pride with
them that foreign flag should not
wave in sight of their capital. A
foreign man of-war entering Havana
hirbor would salute the Cuban and
then the American flag, and thus
there would be constant evidence be-
fore tho world that Cuba was vassal
of the northern republic.

enterprise to manufacture iron and

OF steel. built for speed, making n di-
rect route between Milwaukee and St.
Paul by water an1 rail to the east.
At last it looks probable that steel
railroad ties will be made to supersede
oak ties. A new tie made of steel plate
one-half inch thick and as wide as a
wooden tie and semi-oval in shape has
been tried year on road in western
pennsylvania, where the traffic is
heavy. The ties are as good as new.
III they come in general use it will
widen the market for steel.

RANDOM NOTES.

The ordinary active life of locomo-
tive averages Is years.
Brazilian railways are the dearest in
the world, the cost of carriage for cof-
Zee amounting to about two dollars
a hundredweight per 100 miles.
The woman's building at the Charles
ton exposition is a beautiful colonial
mansion built 200 years ago and sur.
rounded by gardens filled with old
fashioned flowers.
Express and limited trains, accord
ing to experts at the New York ses-
sion Of the American Society of Me-
chanical Engineers, have increased the
cost of running locomotives per mile
nearly 100 per cent. They have also
vastly increased the responsibilities
of the railroad officials, in requiring
block signal systems, clear tracks and
delays to way trains, closer inspection
and attention to thousand and one
details.
