WORK OF NAVAL RESERVE.
Lack of Progress Attributed to Unsettled

In an article in this months number Of The
Navy League Journal" the blame for the lack OF

on the Navy Department. THE Navy League

Nearly all the State and municipal authorities
where the naval militia has been organized have
given these bodies enthusiastic support. This city

STORY OF B. AND o. LOSS DENIED.
Company Did Not Suffer Through Increased
Cost of Material.

The report sent from Pittsburg to New-York
Thursday that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
had lost several million dollars in the delay in
placing their recent for 1900 freight cars
is denied both by the railroad and the manu-
facturers. 1t reported that the contract had
been authorized last November, and the rise in
price since that time had cost the railroad com
pany this amount because of its delay
The contract reported causing the loss to the
Baltimore and Ohio was not authorized until last
February, instead of November. and the contract
price is much less than estimated by the directors.
The story of the loss probably based on the
fact that the board of directors did authorize the
pullQlng OF LOCO freight cars last fall. This con-
tract was placed short time after its AUTHORIZE

TRAINS FOR PRESIDENTS.
Railroads Prefer Specials for Busi-
ness Reasons.

Chicago. May 22-Mr. Lynch. general passenger
agent Of the Big Four. to-day explained why rail-
roads run a Presidents special train. He said
The popular idea is that the railroads desire to
cater to the federal administration. AS a matter
of fact the real reason is business one. The rail-
roads do not carry the President of the United
States q special train over the country for fun,
for glory for advertising purposes, but because
the Chief Executive may not be carried on regular
train as 1t would handicap the general operation
OF the road and work a hardship on the travelling
public
No regular train could possibly adhere to its
schedule were the President board. The fact
that he passenger could not be kept secret,
and at every station and crossroads there would
be a crowd demanding TO see and hear him make
a speech There would be delay of ten or fifteen
minutes at every station, and every other pas
senger on the train would be greatly incon-
venienced-prevented from keeping business en-
a;agpnents at their destina ton, reaching the
bedside of sick relatives friends, and being
unable to Ill appointments requiring them TO be at
a certain place at certain time.
The Presidents special train Inconvenience no
one and the roads would rather go to the expense
Of running a special train free than subject the
travelling public to the annoyance unavoidable II
the President carried on regular train.
