in seach of more trouble. This account
comes from the general and not from

No good story is complete without
its element of romance. so it is well
to add that Jeffries. daredevil and
good fellow. spared time enough from
his fighting and agitating to win the

TRANS-sIBERIAN RAILROAD.
German Military Paper BelittIes Its
Capacity For Transporting Troops.

Berlin, Feb. 23.-The Militar Woch-
enblatt, the organ of the German gen.
eral staff, has published an article dis
cussing Russia's prospects of reinforc
ing her army in East Asia.
The paper takes a pessimistic view
Of the capacity of the Trans Siberian
railroad and especially of the section
crossing Lake Baikal, where it says
the difficulties to be overcome are
enormous.
The limited capacity of the line is
said to be a much more serious mat
ter than the threatened damage to It
by natives. The paper estimates the
present troop-moving capacity of the
railroad from Russia's experience last
summer in moving two brigades to
Tschita, east of Lake Baikal, which
was only accomplished at the rate of
S1s miles an hour. At this rate It
would take 36 days to convey $4,000
men from the Ural mountains to Muk
den or Vladivostock.
The paper assumes the present
strength of the Russian army in East.
ern Asia to be 15S,761 men and upon
the foregoing estimate of time re-
quired to move troops, it declares it
will take until April 20 for Russia to
raise the strength of her East Asiatic
army to $4,000 men.

PENNSY AND GOULD.
How These interests Failed to Settle
Their Differences,

Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-It is reported
that the negotiations that were go.

For some weeks the negotiations for
settlement have been going on. and
( at one time there was fair chance
for a settlement A plan by which
the Norfolk and Western Rallroal
company was to take over the Western
Maryland was submitted but when the
price to be paid for the road was
touched upon it was found that the
Gould interests wanted considerably
more than was paid for it. This put
a stop to all negotiations.

II Is rumored that one of the rea.

some difficulty in keeping all the peO-

fern leaf beech in the White House
grounds. The trees were removed

specially made spade. .-.
President Roosevelt, raising his hat
to a considerable crowd, threw a few
spadefuls of dirt into the excavation
around the tree. Mrs. Roosevelt then
was given a spade and with ii she
threw some earth into the excavation
around the other tree. The assembled
people applauded her cordially.

shrub, the only specimen of which in
this country is in the propagating
gardens in this city.

Colonel Symons addressed the rresi'
dent, saying: 1--WE hope that these
trees may be the living thriving evi-
dences of your continued great pros
perity and of the greatest honor that
can come to man. And we hope and
believe that these flowers that You
have planted will multiply and spread
out over the country, adding to its
beauty and value, as your life has and
must continue to do"
The spades used in the ceremony
will be preserved in the White House.
Or the blades of each will be painted

High Records Of Wheat and Flour.


Bradstreet's summary of the state
OF trade says:
Midwinter conditions are a bar TO
growth in spring trade and interfere
greatly with transportation and ou.-
door activities generally
War influences cut large figure in
the course Of prices, which, with few
exceptions. has been upward. Flour,
wheat, corn, oats and pork all made
new high records, those of wheat and
flour being the highest reached since
1898, and tea, butter, tin and copper
also advanced, though not in all cases
owing to present or threatened hostili-
ties.
Cotton and coffee were conspicuous
exceptions to the general advance, but
this was due to a continuance of the
liquidation under way for some time
past, and pig iron weakened as the re.
suit of backward demand, enlarging
production and reported increasing
stocks.
