the harmonious relationship existing
between the street railway company
and its employees. The company has
voluntarily decided that the regular
employees shall receive as their share

percent. This means. as estimated,
that at the end of the first year each

be about $50. and in five years it will
be 500. The men will receive the

if Manchuria is brought into the con-

that the dispute come to war than
yield her claims. A sign that Russia

officers families, who are preparing to
go to Port Arthur, have been requested
to defer going there before 1904, the

of many sorts, particularly the indus
trials, are dropping, but government
bonds are not affected. the bank clear
ings remain at high figure except as
the falling off in speculation dimin-

can handle, and more than they can
handle conveniently. The panic is vir-
