rightfully convicted and sentenced by
the Cuban courts; there can be none as
to the rightforwardness of Woods
conduct after the explicit and unquali-
fed endorsement by Secretary Root
who, for the administration, accepts
full responsibility for what Wood did
IN Cuba, and declares that Rathbone's
charges have no justification" Wood
has made longer strides since the be-
ginning of the war with Spain than
any other man who had anything to do
with that conflict. Longer, even, than
Roosevelt, for the present president
had national reputation before 1898,
while Wood was hardly known here in
Washington, where he was stationed a
an adjunct of the surgeon generals Of
flee. Now Wood has a record as a SOL
der, as civil administrator and as
a military governor which makes him
quite the most distinguished officer of
the army with a major generals stars
at an age when most West Point grad
yates think themselves lucky to
achieve a colonel's rank. West Point
men IN the army not unnaturally are
sore over Woods phenomenal promo
ton. They have a way of referring to
him slightingly as Doctor Wood" and
yet he had seen fighting among the In
dams long before Mckinley and Roose-
welt picked him out as colonel of the
Rough Riders. Even as a surgeon in
the army he seized opportunities to
get into the thick of the fight. and on
one occasion in an emergency during
Miles last Indian campo ign he COM
manded a REGIMENT Still Woods last
ing reputation is likely to be as an ex-
ecutive and an administrator. He will
have an opportunity in Mindanao to
bring order out of chaos. just as he
had in Cuba.

lacking in convenience. The new sta
ton, which will receive all the railways
having their terminus in Washington
or running through it, will be one of
the great railway edifices of the world.
AS an imposing piece of architecture
it will surpass them all. The new sta
ton will be almost under the shadow
of the capitol and it will be thoroughly
in keeping with a group of public build
ings which are unsurpassed for dignity
and artistic effect. Its cost will be as
great as that of any of the existing
public buildings in Washington. and it's
surroundings with the great plaza in
front will be beautiful to degree not
approached by railway terminals else
where. This plaza is a feature upon
which the executive officers of the gov
eminent especially insisted in spite OF
vigorous opposition in congress to the
additional expense which it involved.
Washington is place for great civic
parades and military pageants. The
present stations are altogether lacking
in facilities which are absolutely es-
sential to the massing of organizations
or bodies of troops. When Prince Hen
nv came TO Washington the confusion
in the narrow streets adjoining the
Pennsylvania station was SO great that
the authorities were seriously alarmed.
1t looked for time as if they would
not be able to furnish adequate pro-
lection for the royal guest from the
inrushing crowds. Under the new ar
rangement' nothing of this kind can
happen. A whole brigade of troops, it
necessary, can be massed in front OF
the station. LOUIS A COOLIDGE

into Independence" square and make
it commemorative of the revolution
ary war. Lafayette and Rochambeau
already occupy the two most conspic-
uous corners of the enclosure. The
proposal is to. place on the other cor
ners statues authorized by congress in
memory of Baron Steuben and Gen.
Pulaski: The idea is an attractive one
and if it were not for the sacred Jack
son it might be put into effect. The
Jackson statue is probably the most
famous of all the equestrian figures in
Washington. 1t has been the theme of
controversy among artists, patriots
and partisans ever since Clark Mills
modelled it years before the civil war.
1t raised a storm of discussion as to the
possibility of any horse ever assuming
such a position as was there perpet-
uated in bronze. balancing itself proud
ly on its hind legs and the tip of it's
tail. For over half a century it has
been one of the artistic marvels of the
capital. There is an old, old story that
when Charles Sumner tried to enter
tain Lord Lytton by driving him about
the city he took special pains to dis
tract his lordship's attention when
they passed by Lafayette square. But
Lytton spied the Jackson effigy and
upset all calculations by demanding to
know who that might be perched on
a rocking horse. Yet with all its ques-
tionable artistic qualities it is doubt
full whether any other statue in the
capital is the object of quite so much
sentiment as this. It has almost come
to be democratic shrine, and any
proposition to move it from its con-
spicuous position in front of the white
house is sure to arouse resentment.
When the Lafayette statue was pre-
sented by France about ten years ago
it was at first proposed to erect it in
the middle of the south side of the
square directly between the Jackson
statue and the white house. The
foundations were already built at con-
sidera BILE expense when the friends of
Jackson got wind of it, Senator Bate.
of Tennessee, introduced a resolution
forbidding the erection of the Lafay-
cite statue at that spot, and the loca-
ton was promptly changed. The SEN
timent for the old Jackson statue was
altogether too strong to be opposed.
The 'srocking horse" will stay where it
is for many years to come, as long, at
any rate. as "Old Hickory" continues
ito hold his place as Q. democratic
saint.

Era Of Railway Strikes is Approaching
An End.

I'm my opinion the day of railroad
strikes is about over. This is because
general managers are more reasona-
BILE, and because the men in the labor
organizations conduct themselves
more conservatively. We find the Off
Gals of railway companies exceedingly
fair throughout the country. do not
say this to pat them on the back, but
because I believe /. is true"
F. T. Hawley, of Buffalo, grand mas
ter of the Switchmen's Union of North
America, spoke these words as he was
about to depart from Denver for Kan
sas City, says the Denver Republican,
Mr.. Hawley arrived in this city Satur-
day night, and spent Sunday in Chey.
enne, returning here yesterday. He
said he was not in Denver on official
business.
81 do not think the much-heralded
labor troubles on the LIST of May will
materialize as people expect" said he.
Many of the building trades have ar
ranged for arbitration, and | believe
the employers will arbitrate rather
than run the risk of losses during a
strike. In any event, l do not believe
railroad men will take any hand in the
trouble. l know the Switchmen's un.
ion will not. We do not believe in sym.
pathetic strikes. We adjust all our
difficulties by peace methods and ar.
gument. OF course, we reserve the
right to strike, as any organization
does. 1t would be a poor n that
would not strike as a last resort. But
there is not a man in organization
who does not deplore strikes.
"All is now at peace in our union all
over the United States. The growth
of the organization has been phenom,
email. | never knew of a labor organi.
cation to increase so fast. We have
now 10000 members, and we expect to
go into IL convention at Indianapolis
in May with 20, 600"

Hospitals on the Trains.

The number of railroad accidents
and the appalling list of fatalities in
the first two or three months of the
present year have stirred public senti-
ment, and aroused railway officials to
the necessity of adopting some means
toward checking the frequency of
these disasters, as well as providing a
better system of taking care of the in
jured. Several of the eastern roads
are equipping their trains with a COM
plete hospital service. This has been
done in a degree by the Southern Pa
cifc and may be followed up by a COM
plete service in the near future. With
regard to the way in which one east
ern road has provided for emergency,
a dispatch has the following:
THE Erie railroad company, besides
having beds at the call of the railroad
at hospitals in various cities along its
route, has a private hospital car. which
is supplied with cots, surgical instru-
ments, ~bandages, antiseptics, etc,
while there is always a good supply
of hot water and an attendant who is
a skilled nurse, who is always in the
car. If word of an accident is received
the car is sent either with the wreck
ing train or by special engine to the
scene. A message is sent to the sur
geon in charge of the district where
the accident occurred and he meets
the hospital car"

FL Paso, a few nights ago, was report.
ed Monday as doing nicely. II is now
thought he will recover.
w. J.. S%tackburger, a bridge builder

FL Paso, was quite seriously injured
while at work. He vas engaged in In
loading some piling when some of 1t
fell down, catching him underneath 1t.
DIR. w. N. Villas was summoned and
the injured man given medical atten-

bruised about the groin, but not fatally
hurt.
George T. Nicholson. general pas
senger traffic manager for the Santa

make a short visit to albuquerque.
The party left Chicago about a month
ago going to Portland and Seattle over
the Northern Pacific. They have
toured the coast. stopping at all i'm
portant cities and are now in southern
California. Mr.. Nicholson is the only
member of the party who has ever
visited the Duke City, and it is very
likely that they will spend at least a
day here.
A car load of %gallopers, fast ones
that have been w~intering on the coast,
passed through the city last night en-
route to st. Louis. The most promi-

charge of Jockies Farrer and Benson.
DR.. Matthew Gardner died in San
Francisco Saturday, while being oper-
ated on for appendicitis. DR.. Gardner
was the head of the hospital service Of

Destructive Fire In Santa Fe Railway
Yards at Deming.

A fire took place at Deming in the
yards OF the Santa Fe at IL o'clock
Monday morning. AS a result, the coal
chute Is in ruins and a car of coal and
more than forty tons of fuel have been
consumed. The loss is quite heavy,
but the exact figures cannot be secured
at this time. The fire was very fierce
and it was with the greatest difficulty
that the flames were kept from spread
ing to the adjoining property. A spark
from an engine caused the blaze.
