FOR NEW STATE LOAN.

1t has been decided by the finance com
mittee Of the two houses, after confer
ences with the Governor, comptroller and
treasurer, to introd uce bill providing
for bond issue of 81 100000 to be
known as the public building loan. The
proceeds will be devoted to the compile
ton of the State House and to improve
ment of the new ca pitol, for which $780,
900 will be set aside and to improvements
to the insane asylums and other state
institutions, including the house of cor
rection Upon the issue of the loan it is
proposed to exchange it for the states
holdings of stock in tie Washington
branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company, amounting to $500 shares.
1t is estimated that this stock can be sold
for 81 100000, which will be converted
into the state treasury. 1t will be noted
therefore, that the total debt to be incur
red by the state will be only $250,O00
The exchange of the states stock for
Baltimore and Ohio stock is authorized
under section of article 12 of the state
constitution, under which the board of
public works has full authority to sell the
stock 1t has not paid any dividends for
several years. The claim is made by the
Baltimore and Ohio officials that the net
earnings of the road are being utilized to
defray the Baltimore and Ohio share of

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 10Th.
MR. EDITOR w ork is being crowded
along SO fast in Congress that it seems as
if adjournment might possibly come a
week or so before the 1st of May. The
appropriation bills that have not already
passed are passing, without such opposi
ton as will cause much delay, Several
bills in the interest of the labor unions
are on the calendar and some are report
ed from committees But there is little
probability that any will pass this year
The service pension bill will now be with
drawn, for this session at least, in view
of tile action of the Commissioner of Pen
sions in ilterpretil g the law as to g 1T
OLD age pensions to veterans Of 81 with
out regard to disability.
The Postoffice appropriation bill has
been before the House this week and has
again been the storm center. The mi
nority leader, John Sha: p Williams, Miss.
declared that the Postoffice Department
was rotten from turret to foundation
stone and the Republicans were trying to
reorganize it in an appropriation bill. He
said that only one division of the depart
ment had been Investigated, and that only
partially, while other divisions were
equally corrupt. My Payne, the Republi
can leader, and General Grosvenor threw
such explanations as they could into the
discussion, and Mr.. Overstreet, Rep,
Ind, the unhappy father Of the report,
declared that nothing in particular was
the matter and nobody injured. Mr..
Williams came back with the charge that
public money had been repeatedly divert
ed to illegal uses in contempt Of law, that
buildings had been rented, fuel bought
and clerks appointed and promoted in
defiance of Civil Service regulations.
"These officials" he declared vehement
ly, "violate the laws whenever they please
and grant favors to their friend when
ever they please, and tell you coolly that
it was because of a construction put up
on the law by somebody, God only knows
who"

Postmaster General, who has been almost

PENSIONS FOR JUDGES.

The bill passed by the Senate of Mary
land to pension judges who have retired
from the bench after attaining the age of
20 years is in every respect proper pro
vision by the State for class of public
servants deserving the highest degree of
consideration. The Constitution requires
the retirement of judges on attaining the
age of 70 years, unless in its wisdom the
Legislature sees fit to enable them to Con :
tinue their work and fill out the terms for
which they were elected. The term for
all State judges is Is years. A judge may
reach the constitutional limit of age just
but be cannot 60 before the people for re-
election after attaining the age of 70
though the Legislature may, as before
stated, enable him to fill out an elective
term. Therefore the provision of pen
sion for aged and retired judges is an
equitable and just measure.
Many we'll preserved men are fully as
capable of performing their duty on the
bench satisfactorily at Is years of age or
even longer as they were at IS. Two
judges are still in harness through the op-
Grafton of enabling acts. Five at most
will come, for the present at least, under
the provisions of the Pension bill, and the
list of judiciary pensioners can never be-
come large, for under our system the to-
tai number of judges is but 81, and after
retirement from active duties at such an
age as 20 years neither ordinary men nor
judges can be expected to last long. The
pension is $4,000 year; the salaries Of
judges on active duties are 1900 a year
for chief judges. SIS, 900 for associates in
the circuits and $1,000 for judges of the
Supreme Bench of Baltimore city.-BalH-

ADVANCE BY JAPS.

A cable from Chefu printed in the New
York Press says:
The japanese army has made surpris.
ingly quick move in western Korea since
Thursday On that day Lieutenant Gen.
eral Kodoma, assistant chief of general
staff, with 200 officers, moved north from
Pingyang, accompanied by three brigades
The road had been made clear north to
Anju by the Japanese cavalry for a week
before, and at least 10000 men of al
arms are now on the north side of the
Chong Chang river, within three days
easy march of the Yalu's mouth.
The correspondents who arrived this
morning greatly admire the brilliancy of
the japanese forward movement. The
soldiers began breaking camp on Wedses-
day morning, the commissary department
being first out, and on Thursday the en-
tire movement was we'll under way to-
ward ANU.
On Friday the soldiers that had been
camped on the heights back of Chemulpo
were taken on transports and at night
had departed north into the bay of Korea,
probably TO be landed either at Chenanpo
or at the mouth of the Chong Chang
river at Kasan, where there is good
harbor, now free of ice. Three cruisers
of the second class were with the trans
ports, and by tomorrow. probably 10000
troops will be north of the river. This
indicates to the army officers here swift
blow during the week against the Russian
lines, although it is not believed that the
men hurried toward the Yalu will be the
invading force 1t is taken here to indi-
cate that the two main divisions of the
japanese army are ready for their great
offensive operations, und that stirring
scenes on land will soon be reported from
Manchuria.
This swift movement of the invadin G
army was wholly unexpected by military
men here, and its surprising rapidity indi-
Gates the mobility of the army. In all
probability japanese warships are now
at the mouth Of the Yalu, where there has
been thaw for week past. All reports
from Korea agree that no Russian scouts
have been seen for 10 days, and it is
probable that General Linevitch has with
drawn all his men to the Manchurian side
because of the freshets in the 1alu.

The Republicans are whistling to
keep up their courage, but the obser-
want can see that they are frightened
at heart. In their ranks are faction
al strifes in New York, Ohio, Illinois
and Iowa, and the recent exposures in
the Postoffice Department and the eff
forts to prevent new scandals from be-
ing brought to light are turning many
honest men from them. The demo
cratic chances are improving daily,
says the Alexander Gazette, and with
a man like German or Parker on a
platform for tariff reform and honest
administration of public affairs they
would sweep the country.

OUTLOOK FOR 1904.

| The Iron age thinks that the present
year is going to be one of great prospect
ty for the farming interest. "Whatever
may be the industrial outcome for this
year," says our contemporary, "the fact
is looming into prominence that our agri-
prosperity 1t is, of course, assumed that
crops will not fail, but that at least an av
erage yield will reward the labors of the
tiller of the soil Wheat is now selling
at the highest prices known since 1893;
other cereals are bringing very good
prices, and cotton commands such figures
that it is necessary to go back genera
ton to find anything like them. The in
itself far into the future under the modern
system of trading on exchanges. Sales
now being made for delivery through the
whole of this year command prices which
indicate that 1904 will be one of the most
prosperous years American farmers and
planters have ever known. Nothing
short of a wholesale failure Of crops can
change this alluring forecast"
As agriculture is the basis of the bust
ness of the country no serious depression
can exist if the Age is right in its predic-
tions The recent erich mans panic" has
left some wrecks to obstruct the way, but
they are being removed. The check CIV
en- to over speculation has had wholesome
results. There has been an immense
shrinkage of values of all kinds of bonds
and stocks, but what was lost was chiefly
water" The present conditions favor
sound progress.
