A director of the Pressed Steel Car

are absolutely without foundation In
fact. do not know of a single or
der that has been cancelled. The af-
fairs of the Pressed steel Car Com
Eany are In good condition. The
company is strong in financial re.
sources. Last year the company earn
el about 27 per cent on the common
stock, but We only paid four in com.
men dividends. 1--WE do not, of course,
expect to earn 27 per cent on the com
mon stock every year When our
earnings were large we paid small div
idends, enabling us to.strengthen our
financial condition. With the return
OF more confidence the railroads win
be in the market for more cars. and
while we do not expect the volume
to be as great as 1t has, there can be
no great falling off in the earnings
without jeoIardizing dividends"

Historic Rivals Agree TO Submit the
Treaty Questions to The
Hague Tribunal.

The arbitration treaty between
Great Britain and France was signed
In London by Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe and the French ambassador, M.
Cambon. The text of the treaty Is as
follows:
Article Differences OF a judicial
order. OF such as relate to the interpre.
tation Of treaties existing between the
two contracting parties which may
arise between them and which II may
not be possible to settle by means OF
diplomacy. shall be submitted to the
permanent court of arbitration estab-
lished Mt The Hague by the conven-
tlon of July 20, 1899 on condition, how
ever. that they do not involve either
vita, interests or the independence or
honor OF the two contracting states,
and that they do not affect the inter
ests of a third power.
Article ll.--ln each particular case
the hlgh contracting parties, before
addressing themselves to the permn-
mont court of arbitration, shall sign n
special arbitration bond setting forth
clearly the subject under dispute. the

CARDS the constitution of the arbltral
tribunal and the procedure.
Article III.-The present arrange
ment is contl luded for term of five
years from the date of the signature.
The French government regards the
treaty as one of the most important
achievements Of Foreign Minister Del
casse and as likely to exert far
reaching political influence upon the
relations between France and Great
Britain and to Indirectly influence IA
vorably the relations OF all the Euro

diplomatists, but some OF the anti

SHERMAN STATUE UNVEILED.
The General Represented as He Look.
ed at the Grand Review In 1865.

The equesterian statue OF General
William Tecumseh Sherman, that has
been under construction for so long a
time that Washin gtonians despalred OF
it ever being completed, was unveiled
on the 18th. The flags that covered
the bronze were drawn away by Will
liam Tecumseh Sherman Thorndyke,
a grandson OF the General.
The memorial was constructed un-
der the supervision OF a commission
and the unveiling was made the occa'
sion for 1t to turn its trust ever to the
United States, which has borne the
expense of this, the finest and most
costly monument TO the chief figures
of the Civil War that the city con
tains.
The ceremony brought together
army societies in numbers only equaled
by the annual encampment CT the
Grand Army of the Republic. The
statue stands at the head of that
stretch of Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween the Treasury and the Capitol.
The object of the sculptor was to make
the bronze figure look as he looked
when he rode at the head Of his victor
ious troops up Pennsylvania avenue
during the grand review in 1860. Sher-
man said 1t was the proudest moment
of his life when he rode up the avenue,
and the face of the bronze soldier
shows TIE pride the man of flesh and
blood felt on that occasion. Addresses
