sHoNrs, RAILROAD INTEREST.
Only Looks After Large Matters of
Policy

During the debate last Friday in the
Senate touching the personnel of the 18TH
milan canal commission and its employees ref
erence was made to the fact that the name
of Theodore Shonts. president of the COM
mission, appears in the official railroad
guides as president Of the Glover Leaf rail-
road, and no senator appeared to be able to
answer the question as to whether Mr..
Shonts actually held that position.
Mr.. Shonts' statement of the facts Is
about as follows:
Last March, just before the Walker COM
mission gave way to the present commits
sion, Mr.. Shonts. in company, with then
Secretary Morton. Speaker Cannon, Senator
Hale and others, was cruising In the West
Indies. Mr.. Shonts was then president of
the Glover Leaf Railroad Company, and
with two or three personal friends con-
trolled and practically owned all the stock
pontment as president of the isthmian
canal commission was that he should
sumo that office Immediately, which in fact
he did, being appointed in April, the day
following the retirement of the Walker
commission, in order to avoid an interreg
mum. He felt the necessity, in view Of his
large personal interest, OF continuing his
connection with the Glover Leaf road, his
friends associated with him in the owner
ship of that enterprise being also insistent
on that point. A plan was devised to per-
NIT Mr.. Shonts to remain in nominal con-
nection with the road through the creation
of a new office-namely, that of second vice
president. The first vice president was and
is Thomas H. Hubbard, president of the
International Banking Corporation, and the
second vice president was appointed to give
his entire attention to the management of
the road. Mr.. George H. Ross was selected
for the place, and to him Mr.. Shonts turned
over the detailed work OF management, pro-
posing himself only to give his attention to
large matters of policy That is his status
at the present moment.

Mr.. Joseph Moore's New Launch.

The new steam launch which Mr..
Joseph Moore Of Alexandria is building for
pleasure cruising on the river next season
has been laid up for the winter at Alexan-
dria and will not be completed until warmer
weather comes. The new craft Is thirty
two feet long and has beam seven feet.
1t will be of light draft. and is especially
designed to take pleasure parties In the
shoal creeks on the river on hunting and
fishing trips. She will have a commodious
cabin with sleeping accommodation for
about six persons, and will be equipped
with modern yacht appliances for the com
fort of those who will travel aboard her.
Unlike most of the new pleasure craft on
the river, the Moore launch will be equipped
with steam power, a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
single-cylfnder engine and a boiler that
will be allowed to carry steam pressure
OF $50 pounds to the square inch will make
a large propeller wheel revolve rapidly
enough to give her a speed of between ten
and twelve miles an hour.
Mr.. Moore is also the owner of the yacht
Runaway, which has also been laid up at
Alexandria for the winter, and will be given
thorough overhauling while laid up to
make her ready for efficient service when
the boating season comes around again.

Christmas Greens on River Boats.

The steamers from the lower river are
coming into port laden with big crates of
holly, ground Ivy and other green's used for
Christmas decorations, which are shipped
from lower river points to dealers here to
meet the heavy demand. The upper decks
of the boats forward as they came into
port yesterday Were filled with large masses
Of the holly and cedar bushes, and coming
up the harbor they looked like moving
forests. The holly this year is said to be
particularly pretty and is covered with ber-
ries in great profusion. The mistIetoe is
also very pretty and full of berries this
year, but 1t is scarce, and comparatively
small quantities are being received by the
dealers from river points. About the mid
die of the week pine and cedar Christmas
trees syiil be coming from river points
many of them consigned to private parties
