RAILROADS LOSING MONEY.


MEXICO CITY. April 5.-Large business
concerns. while hoping for a speedy settle
ment of the currency question, report an
excellent business both here and in the in
terror of the country. The general opinion
is that the country has in a large measure
adjusted itself to the lower level of silver
and were the railways relieved by the adop-
tion of the peso. there would be no unsound
spot in the countrys growing prosperity.
The railway situation must continue serious
until a measure of relief adequate TO their
critical condition comes The roads are
doing a heavy business. and are ordering
new equipment, but are, in the strict fact
doing business at a loss.
General Alger, United States senator from
Michigan. is one OF group of wealthy men
i'm that State who have become interested in
Mexican Investments. They propose 10 in
vest largely in lands on the isthmus of
Tehuantepec.

News Of the Old World.

PEKING, April 5.-The report received
here that the action of the United States in
increasing its Asiatic squadron is on ac-
count of alarming reports on the situation
in China excites surprise in Peking Such
reports were not sent by the United States
or British legations, both of which pos
sess good facilities for judging the situa-
tion in China. The only disturbances con-
sidered serious are those in the Kwang-Si
province, the southern province Of China,
adjoining Tonkin, where one hundred rebels
are said to be under arms, which were
never directed against foreigners.
The latest reports regarding General
Tung Fuh Slang, the Boxer leader, and
Prince Tuan, the exiled anti-foreigner, who
are at the head of the insurgent forces in
the northwestern province of Kansu, are
reassuring. The government claims to have
come to an understanding with them
whereby they agree to refrain from hos
tilities. 1t is believed that the government
is supplying them with funds on condition
that they remain quiet.
The officials promise the foreign minis
ters that the indemnity bonds will soon be
signed. The officials apparently have con-
cluded that it will be impossible to obtain
any concession in the terms of the indem-
nifty until that formality is fulfilled.
The dowager Empress and the court
started to-day their journey to the
Western Tombs. They will be absent from
Peking eighteen days. Other trains will
carry most of the high officials i'm Peking,
and the courts entire household of eunuchs
and concubines. Business traffic on the
railways entering Peking will be practically
suspended for several days. The masses
regard the pilgrimage with astonished dis
approval and predict that heaven will send
disasters.
The United States consul at Canton tele-
graphs that the famine in the Kwang-Si
province, resulting from the rebellion
there. Is serious. Thousands will die unless
assistance is forthcoming. He recommends
that relief funds be started abroad.

Burdick was probated, gave the temporary

before the inquest had brought forth so
much TO besmirch the reputation of Mrs.
