SIMIA.

The Hot Weather Capital of India At Delhi the railway forks. One
 branch runs on to the frontier of Af-
 ghanistan via Lahore and Peshawur, and the other via Umballa, an impor- tant military post, to Sinlla, the sum-
 mer capital and great sanitarium of h. dia. Because of the climate there must
 be two capitals. From October to April the vieeroy occupies the govern ment house at Calcutta with the civil land military authorities around him.
 but as soon as the summer heat sets in the whole administration, civil, military and judicial, removes to Simla, and ev-
 erybody follows, foreign consuls, bank CTS, merchants, lawyers, with their ser- wants, coachmen and horses. The com- mander-in-chief of the army, the adju- other departments with their clerks
 take their books and records along with them. The winter population of Simla | is about fifteen thousand; the summer population reaches thirty thousand. The exodus lasts about month, during which time every railway train going north is crowded and every extra car that can be spared is borrowed from the
 other railways The last of October the migration is reversed and every
 body returns to Calcutta. This phe- nomenon has been going or for nearly | fifty years.
 The journey to Unlballa is made by rail and thence by "dak-gherries, a sort of covered democrat wagon, and
 "mailtongas,' a species of cart, bullock

employees, or civil servants, as they are
 called in India. because it is necessary for them to keep up two establishments,
 one in Simla and one in Calcutta. But they get the benefit of the stimulating
 atmosphere Of the hills and escape the perpetual Turkish bath that is called summer in Calcutta. Many of the hlgn : CT officials, merchants, bankers society people and others have bungalows at Simla furni, he'd like our summer cot tages at heme. They extend over a long ridge, with beautiful grounds around them. It is fully six miles from cue end of the town to the other. ond the principal street is more than five miles long. The houses are ouitt uron terraces up and down the slope, with one of the most beautiful panol amas of
 mountain scenery that can be inla3licd siread out h7'ore them. D ;eD valleys, rocky ravines and gorges break the mountainsides, which are clothed with forests of oak and other beautiful trees,
 while the background is crescent of
 snowy peaks rising range above range against the szureS sky. Many people Hive in tents, particularly the military families, and make themselves exceed
 ingly comfortable.
 The viceroy occupies chateau called the Viceregal Lodge, perched upon a hill overlooking the town, and from his porches commands as grand noun- tain landscape as you would wish to see. l The Viceregal Lodge. like the govern ment house in Calcutta, was designed i especially for it's purpose and is ar-
 ranged for entertainments upon a
 broad scale. The vice-queen takes the
 lead in social life, and no woman in
 that position has ever been more com
 petent than Lady Curzon. There is
 really more society at Simla than in
 Calcutta. It is the Newport of India, l but fortunately for the health of those
 who participate. it is mostly out of
 doors. The military element is large
 enough to give it an athletic and sport
 ing character, and to the girls who are ] in the swim summer at Simla is one

carts, army wagons and carriages of every description, while the luggage is brought up the hills in various kinds of conveyance, much of it on the heads of coolies, both women and men. The dis tance, fifty-seven miles by the highway, is all up hill, and can be made by an or dinary team in twelve hours.
 Long experience has taught the gov- ernment officials how to make this re- noval in a scientific manner, and the records are arranged for easy transpor- tation. The viceroy has his own outfit, and when the word is given the trans fer takes place without the slightest difficulty or confusion. A public func- tionary leaves his papers at his desk, puts on his hat and walks out of his office at Calcutta; three days later he walks into his office at Simla, hangs his hat on peg behind the door and sits down at his desk with the same pa- pers lying In the same position before him, and business goes on with the in- terruption of only three or four days at most. The migration makes no more difference to the administration than
 
 the revolutions of the earth.
 Formerly the various offices were scattered over all parts of Simla, but they have been gradually concentrated in blocks of handsome buildings con- structed at cost of several millions of dollars The home secretary the de- partment of public works, the finance and revenue departments, the secretary of agriculture, the postmaster general and the secretary of war each has quite as good an office for himself and his clerks as he occupies at Calcutta. There is courthouse, a law library, a theater and opera house, a number of clubs and churches, for the archbishop ard the clergy follow their flocks, and the Calcutta merchants come along with their clerks and merchandise to supply the wants of their customers. It is a remarkable migration of great government.
 It is rather expensive for government

prolonged picnic. There are races, polo, tennis, golf, drives, rides, walks. garden parties and all sorts of afternoon and morning functions. r. Marion Craw- ford describes the gayeties of Simla in MT. Isaacs." the first and best novel he ever wrote, and gives 8 graphic ac- count of polo match in which his hero was knocked off his horse and had his head bathed by the young lady he was in love with. Kipling has given up a succession of pictures of Simla society, and no novel of Indian life is without a chapter or two on it, because it is really the most interesting place in all the empire
 Sinla is very cold in winter, being 7084 feet above the sea and situated on the thirty-second parallel of north lati- tude, about the same as Charleston, s. G., but in summer the climate is very fine.
 If you want to get better idea of the place and it's attractions than I can give, read Mir. Isaacs." Many of the incidents are drawn from life, and the hero is a real person still living in Del hi, He is diamond broker, his name is Jacobs, and he is a Persian Jew, whose business is to sell precious stones to the native princes. Crawford used to spend his summers at Smla when he
 was a reporter for the "Allahabad Pio- neer" and made Jacobs acquaintance
 there. Crawfords Indian experiences are very interesting, and he tells them
 as well as he writes. When he was
 quite young man he went to India as
 private secretary for an Englishman of
 importance, who died over there and
 left him stranded. Having failed to
 obtain employment and having reached
 the bottom of his purse, he decided in
 desperation to enlist as ., private sol-
 dier in the army, and was looking through the papers for the location of the recruiting office when his eye was
 attracted by an advertisement from the "Allahabad Pioneer" which wanted a lreported. Although he had never done

OUTLINES A NEW PARTY.
Chicago Judge Deals Tersely and
Plainly With Capital.

CHICAGO, April 19.-The supremacy OF
"some political party with settled pol
lev regarding the great corporations Of
the country" has been declared by Judge
Peter S. Grosscup to be the means OF es-
cape from IAN impending transformation
in the ideals lying at the foundation or
a republican form Of government"
Speaking before the Chicago Congrega-
tfonaI Club at it's monthly dinner at the
Auditorium on The Church, the State
and the Individual" the jurist declared
himself a friend of the honestly man
aged corporation" whilel deploring that
'sthe individualism of thirty years ago has
been lost in vast mergers OF capital
The platform of his proposed new po-
liticaI party was outlined by the speaker
as follows
Recognition of the fact that the cor
poration is here to stay" and cannot be
driven out by mad dog" policy.
A demand that the capitalization of a
corporation shall represent its assets.
Insistence that the great seal of a state
shall not be employed to sanction the
existence of institutions born bank
rupt."
Restrictions of the organization of cor
porations of "Eiffel tower construction"
Offering "ground-foor privileges" to
few stockholders.
The subjection Of all corporations to
government supervision.
"The dishonest corporation as an insti-
tuition of this country will never be
broken up until some such policy has
minded political party, and no such party
will ever take 1t up until 1t is assured of
favorable public sentiment" said Judge
GroSscup.

cessful treatment by Congress of an arbi-
tration treaty with France. So far these
inquiries have not developed any consider
able opposition, provided the treaty does
not involve in any degree the integrity of
the Monroe doctrine. But 1t is also de-
veloped that there is a notable apathy
among the senators who would be required
to pass upon the treaty that has convinced
the President that 1t is not feasible to OBJ
tain action by Congress upon any such
treaty in the present session
However. 1t is the present intention to
take the matter UP again next session, and
prior to that there may be few exchanges
between Secretary Hay and Mr.. Jusserand,
the French ambassador here, to outline the
basis of the proposed treaty. 1t is stated
that particular care will be taken that
nothing in the convention will involve en-
forced arbitration; any case submitted to
the arbitrators must be purely voluntary
on both sides, and the issues to be dealt
with by the arbitration will be so closely
defined that there will be no chance of
bringing In undesirable matters. In that
respect the proposed convention will closely
resemble the Anglo-French arbitration. 1t
is further stated that the United States
government has been indirectly sounded by
other governments than that of France
with view to the negotiation of arbitra.
ton treaties, and II the proposed Franco
American treaty is made 1t will be a fore
runner Of several others.
