CESSATION OF WORK.
Railway Development in Russia Re.

Moscow. Oct 17-Now that NJ White

there is likely to be a cessation of ran
road development, and IL is thought tina {

indication that a change of policy is in
tended. 1t points out that. while during
the last decade. hundreds of millions Of
rubles have been spent on railways. only
the most trifing sums have been allotted
for the Improvement of the waterways OF
the Empire. Yet a very large proportion
of the transport traffic is carried on by
water. the river fleet of European Rus
STA, exclusive of Finland. consisting, ae-
cording to the latest estimate of the
ministers of ways of communication. of
of more than eleven millions tons. From
a comparison of the carrying capacity Of
the river feet of Russia with that OF
the fleets of other nations, the Viedomosti
draws the conclusion that Russia has the
lergest inland mercantile feet in the
world. and quotes the fact to show the
extreme Importance of the part played by
its great rivers in the economis life of the
nation. The rivers are navigabie in many
cases for vessels of large tonnage and
deep draught the carrying capacity of
certain vessels on the Volga, being as
much as 1900 tons. Moreover, the con-
ditions of navigation are particularly
favorable on Russian rivers on account
of the relative asbesnce of locks.

United States Continues to Do Big
Business With Republic.

Washington, Oct 17.-Trade with our
next-door neighbor on the south coli
tinues to exceed all records. Figures
compiled by the Department of Commerce
and labor, through its bureau of statis-
tics. show that during the last fiscal year
our Mexican commerce was greater In
both the export and import business than
in 1902, although that year made a new
high-water mark in our trade with Mex
leo.
During the year ending June 80 1903. the
value of goods imported from Mexico
amounted to S41.3 III; while. on the 9TH

chants s42,2571O6 worth. According to
the latest available Mexican statistics.
about 60 per cent of the total value OF
goods imported by that country in the
fiscal year 1902 came from the United
States as compared with a little over

TWO EMPERoRs' AGREEMENT.
Note Sent to ConstantinopIe Signify
ina Business.

Vienna. October 1.-THE conference be-
tween the Car and Emperor Francis
Joseph resulted in the sending TO the
Austrian and Russian ambassador in Con-
stantinople the following identical tele-
gram:
You were recently instructed to de-
clare that Austria Hungary and Russia
adhere to the task Of pacification which
they have undertaken and are resolved
to persevere- with the programmes drawn
up at the beginning of the year not
withstanding the difficulties hitherto OPP
posed to its execution, For. indeed.
while on the one hand the revolution
airy committee have provoked disturban-
ces and deferred the Christian pOpula-
tion of the threevilayetes from co-oporat-
ing in the execution of the reforms: on
the other hand, the representatives of the
Sublime Porte intrusted with their appli-
cation have been generally wanting in the
way Of necessary real and have not been
imbued with the idea which inspired
these measures.
Both powers are united in the deter
mination to show that it is their firm re-
solve to insist on the execution in their
entirtey of those reforms which are ac-
cepted by the Porte and which are Cal
culated TO guarantee general security.
IN this connection you will receive de-
tailed instructions without delay.
while the powers recognize TO the
full the Porte's right and duty to sup
press the disorders fosteTed by the in
surrectionary agitation of the Macedonian
committee. they at the same time deplore
the fact that this suppression was ac-
companied by excuses and crueltles from
which the peaceful inhabitants suffered.
1t therefore appears 10 them to be their
urgent duty TO come TO the assistance OF
the victims of these regrettable occur
rences and the above mentioned instruc-
lions will acquaint you with the details
of the humanitarian action which they
deem necessary with the object of sup
porting the inhabitants who have been
deprived of al means Of existnece facali-
tating their repatriation and restoring
the villages, church and schools destroyed
by FIRE
THE AUStro-Huugarian and Russian
governments entertain the firm hope that
their continued endeavors TO establish 4
lasting peace in the sorely tried provin-
ces VIII attain their object and they are
convinced that their impartial advice will
be headed by all 10 whom il is addressed
in their own interests
BY command Of His Majesty nay

municate The foregoing TO the Ottoman

London, Oct 17.-That lonely island, st.

brides, is likely TO be left lonelier still
in the near future
Its inhabitants. it is reported, propose
deserving the island and emigratng to
South Africa. This is not much to be
wondered at. for St Kilda is one OF the
most inaccessible islands in the world.
Only four times a year, once a month in
June, July August and September, does
a steamer call from glasgow. For the
rest of the year the inhabitants are en-
tirely cut off from the outer world. Their
special mail is tin box, into which they
put letters. toss it into the sea, and trust
TO Providence and favorable winds TO

last time there was a great exodus was
when thirty-siS islanders left in search

clerk The committee has been holding
special meetings to consider the dust nuis-
ance. and the clerk was called upon 10
supply a report upon the matter. He
declared that the whole trouble lay in
the political patronage which pervaded
municipal life. The city rounsello-s. he
said. secured the promotion of men who
were not entitled 10 II. They also inter
fered with the work of the officials in such
a way that all discipline IN the municipal
service was impossible. Men who had
been repeatedly suspended for drunken
ness or incompetency or laziness were put
back by order OF the aldermen. who also
used their influence to secure the APP

capabilities. hese statements were cor

Another question one finds discussed is
That Of abstemiousness. 1T is unques-
lionably true men in the west end are
drinking less frequently than their prede-
tessors of twenty years ago. This IS
Proved by the club wine accounts. Occa-
saonaI drinking between meals at first
late clubs has decreased enormously. The
consumption of wine at luncheon and din
her has also decreased greatly. On the
other hand. the consumption Of wine,
beer ard spirits throughout the country
generally has grown.
For this abstemiousness among the up
per classes the attention now paid to the
liver is said to be partly responsible. Doc
tors have traced ills to drink and trained
their patients to abstemiousness.
Gambling is voted to be distinctly on
the increase, though at cards the stakes
are considerably smaller than they once
were. One never hears of three stakes
lost in three nights. Bridge is now little
less than a disease, especially among the
women. many of whom pass most of their
afternoons and evenings over the card
table.
What society commentator calls "the
bridge tax" is playing havoc with socie-
y in England. for many men refuse TO
pay their footing by being feeced at
cards. The settling of card accounts be-
tween men and women often provides
unpleasant situations. The more or less
sarcastic suggestion is made in one of
the papers that if no man be asked to

MUST USE GREATER CARE
IN MARKING FREIGHT

y joint agreement affecting all the
roads centering here went into effect
yesterday invoking revision of the
rules for the marking of freight con
| signments of less than carload lots.
Great Inconvenience has been occa-
stoned to the freight handlers in the
past by the custom of improperly
marking the destination of freight
and the result has been a vast amount
of useless labor and worry in tracing
missent articles.
The new rules are intended to dis
courage also the habit of marking
parts of Il consignment with initials
and authorizations to such an extent
that the markings are often misun-
derstood. The rules sent out in the
circular are as follows:
Effective Jan. 1, 1908. each pack
age, bundle or piece of less than car
load freight must be plainly marked
with the information necessary to
carry it to destination and insure
proper delivery even if separated
from the way-bill.
The marks on packages should be
compared with the shipping order and
essary, made by the shipper or his
representative. Old marks must be
removed or effaced.
Freight consigned TO n place of
which there are two or more of the
same name in the same state must
not be forwarded unless the name of
the county be given.
when freight is consigned to a
place not located on the line of
railroad. the shipper must be request
ed to state the name of the railroad
station at which the consignee will
accept delivery. or if destined to a
place reached by water line. the
name of the railroad station at which
delivery is to be made to such water
line.
Freight will not be received for
transportation unless the above con-
ditions are complied with, and agents
and connections are instructed to
strictly enforce the same i'm all
cases."
