Mcclellan of New York city, and for
him the time is not yet ripe. Politi-
cally he is very young man and has
not been in the public eye sufficiently
long to make his candidacy a winning
one. That he is good man no one
will deny who is aware of the work
that he is now doing in New York
municipal and state politics, but at
this stage of the game there is little
or no chance of his winning out before
the convention, and i think that he is
perfectly aware of the fact and will
make no great effort to swing things
his way. Perhaps in the election to
follow this he will be a strong can
didate, but that is too far off to look
forward to for couple Of years YET"

might just save the dynasty; and the
car, caring little for power, might
accede only too willingly.
The great difficulty would come with
the cars immediate circle of friends
and courtiers. As is invariably the
case, the intimates of the heir appa-
rent are not those of the ruling mon
arch. Those that now surround the
car and hold posts of confidence near
his person, know that they have moth
ing to hope from his successor, and
they consequently guard Nicholas to
such an extent that he is almost a
prisoner in his own palace. II he
wanted to abdicate it is probable that
he would not be allowed to put his
design into execution. What is feared
is that he may profit by one of his
trips abroad to announce that he will
never return.
The palace that he is erecting in
Dresden and every detail of the build
ing and furnishing of which the car
and czarina are carefully supervising
gives anxiety to the courtiers who
want to remain in power; and the
vast sum which the car has accumu-
lated in the Bank of England, estimat-
ed by some at fl5,0O0,0O0 and by
others at even f20,OOO,OOO, is regard
ed with even greater distrust.
Such are the rumors current in Pc
tersburg today. It is more probable
that the car has merely been laying
an anchor to windward in having
bank account in England and prepar-
ing palace in Dresden, so that were
a serious plot to be discovered, or were
a movement for his overthrow to be
started, he could take refuge abroad
without fear of privation. But what
he cannot forget is that. were he to
attempt flight at critical juncture,
he could scarcely by any chance reach
the distant frontier.

letters has poured into the New York
state authorities from Governor Qdell

On Monday the glad news came that
these efforts had been in part success
full, and that Roberts, or McDale,
would be released the following day.
But with the glad news there came to
his wife the doubly sad information
that her husband was released an an
invalid's parole, that he had devel.
oped quick consumption and had not
long to live.
That is the story, but there re-

have assured the New York state au-
thorities that he will be cared for and
that, if there is any way to save his
life. it will be saved.

Daring ablutions are performed and complete change of raiment Is fre- quently effected, the constantly recurr- ing tunnels serving to screen the as- tonishing character of these programs.
 The floor of third-class coaches is an unswept riot of the flotsam and Jetsam that usually follows in the wake of certain kinds of human craft the world over. A Bowery picnic crowd. abau- doned to peanuts. popcorn and bananas, never marked more conspicuous trail than a lot of Japanese peasants en route. Only. with the Japanese, 1t is all a very solemn affair. Travel seems to afford fitting opportunity to discard all kinds of personal wreckage.

Decided Increase is Shown by It's
 Statement For August
Decrease |.


 The Wall Street Journal says:
 It may be stated that the officials of Louisville expect to break records this year both In the amount of traffic car ried and in the net receipts from transportation. The road is not enter ing upon any particular period of economy. and 1t Is probable that it will spend at least as much in main- taining the property this year as in the past Transportation expenses will probably run about the same as last year, when high prices for coal pre- vailed, and when railroad labor was restless and in many cases exorbitant in its demands. The company expects. however, to have more gross revenue for its use and to carry its business At about the same initial cost as last year.
 The directors have not decided what the next dividend will be. It Is due to be declared some time in January. 1905. and 1t will depend upon the earnings of the intervening months whether the dividend Is raised or con tinued at 2l-2 per cent. If the earn ings and prospects justify an increase the dividend will probably be in- creased. This company Is one of the few that is in a position to declare a large dividend without violating the unwritten rule. "a dollar for dividends and dollar for the property"

What Japanese Railway Trains are Like.

Harold Boice. in the September Book
 levers Magazine.
 The railway traveller in Japan buys first, second. or third class ticket; or. if he wishes to go cheaper still, he can get @ ticket entttling him simply to stand on the platform! Many of the cars can be entered either from the side or the end. The principal difference between the first and second-class coaches is the color of the upholstery. None of the cars are very clean. Many of the third-class coaches could serve, without much alteration, as ordinary pigsties. This Is all the more remark able when the incompatible cleanliness of the Japanese home life, even of the humblest, is taken into consideration. An explanation of this may be that the Japanese have little regard for the cleanliness of any place where they Keep their shoes or clogs on. The Eu- ropean room. for example, which has been established in few Japanese whole house that is not kept scrupu- lously swept. dusted. oiled and burnish- ed. So. too, with the Japanese inns. Those that are maintained in native style are sweet and clean; those that have become Europeanized are usually filtered with cigarette stumps, fruit peelings and cores and other debris.
