upon the faithful continuance of the work
now more than initiated.
To the loyal and enthusiastic officers and
men the commanding officer bids an a1ec-
tionate and appreciative farewell
The announcement will cause general
regret in the regiment. Col. Bartlett was
known as one Of the ablest commanding
officers In the Guard, which he first Joined
as First Lieutenant in Company Of
the Ninth Regiment on April A, 1851. He
entered the Twenty-second as Captain of
Company D on Dec. 4, 1888, and was elected
Major In 1891. 1t was while the regiment
was in camp in July Of that year that Col.
Bartlett won his fame as tactical expert.
When five years later the regiment needed
q Colonel to succeed John r Camp Major
Bartlett was elected. He had command
OF the regiment as the volunteer body
during the Spanish war from May 0 to Nov.
%, 1898, the regiment being stationed at
Fort Slocum and David's Island. 1t had
been intended to send the regiment to Porto
Rioo In Gen. Wade's division, but subse-
quent events made it unnecessary.
It Is understood that a contest for the
Colonelcy may result between Lieut., Col
II. H. Treadwell and Major W. B. Hotchkin.

NEW HAVEN RAILROAD PLANS.
Now York Division May Have Electrical
Equipment


NEW HAVEN, Conn. July 1s.-President
Mellen Of the New Haven road this afternoon
said he would not discuss the report that
his company was In conference with B. E.
Mason, general agent Of the Westinghouse
Electric Company, about plans for the equip
ment electrically Of the New York division
Of the road. 1t was learned from other
sources that Mr.. Mason was in conference
with President Mellen on this matter to givs
the latter some idea of what it would cost
the company to put In this electric equip
ment.
A story was circulated here to-day that
President Mellen has in mind an expendi-
ture Of S22 100000 upon New Haven road
impr ovements within the next year, includ-
ing four tracking, the rebuilding Of bridges,
new equipment and Poughkeepse Bridge
improvements. All President Mellen would
say about this story was that no details
were at hand and no such expenditures are
contemplated. The news was received
here to-day that the New Haven road had
purchased the Newbrgh, Dutohess and Con-
necticut Railroad between Hopewell juno
tion and Millerton, N. Y. The New Haven
road hauls a large amount Of freight over

10 Witte Opposed to Peace at Any
Price?

five may trust the report OF an inter-
view which an American correspondent
had with M. WITTE on Monday. too
optimistic view may possibly have been
taken of the prospects Of peace. On
the same day the Noroe Vremyd, an in
f1uental st. Petersburg newspaper. was
allowed by the censor to declare that no
treaty would be signed by which the
dignity or vital interests of the empire
would be affected. What do such asser-
tions amount to?
As a man engaged for many years in
vast business transactions, purchasing
mines. factories railroads and con-
tracing for supplies on a colossal scale,
ii is not t. be expected That NJ. "ITTE
will begin negotiations by naming pub
licly the highest possible price which he
is willing to pay for desired commodity.
He will start, of course, with denying
the necessity and belittling the mpor-
tance of peace, and, ostensibly at least,
will resort to the methods which diplo-
matists as we'll as brokers employ when
they want to buy thing as cheaply as
possible. These maneuvers, however
are perfectly familiar to the other party
to the transaction. They are likely to
have no more effect on the Japanese
than they had on BISMARCK. At Shi-
monoseki, where the Mikado's repre-
sentatives had to deal with Ii HUNG
CHANG the most experienced and willy
diplomat in the Chinese service, they
baffled his cunning and cut short dicker-
ing by announcing at the start the mini
mum concession which they would ac-
cept from China as tn, price of peace.
II, later, they modified their terms ma
terially, and spontaneously granted a
request which previously they had re-
jected, this was done out Of chivalrous
sentiment aroused by the attempt of a
fanatic to ass assinate the Chinese pleni-
potentiary, We probably may take for
granted that when the peace envoys
meet at Portsmouth Japan will announce
from the outset the most liberal terms
which she can be prevailed upon to
grant, and from this declaration she will
not swerve. Nor should we be in the
least surprised to learn that the precise
purport of those terms has already been
communicated indirectly to st. Peters,
burg by the Toxic Government, and at
this moment is well known to NJ. WIrrE
We do not believe that he would enter
on the mission unless he were assured
that it would not prove fruitless, and he
could have no such assurance unless the
irreduoible minimum of Japan's demand
had privily been laid before him
Is it not possible, We may be asked,
that NJ WITTHs mission is blind; that

Women and Economy.

Mrs. JOHN LANE has an amusing il
somewhat supercilious article in the
July Fortnightly Rerie,r on "The Ex-
travagant Economy Of Women" The
poor old middle classes" have to take
the usual gibe. Possibly they can bear
1t. Mrs. LANE, however, asserts that
the highest and lowest" classes are
both extravagant, and so she has to
fall back upon the middle class. Is this
class always middling in it's expenses :?
Are there no Sir Pitt Crawleys among
the modern nobility and gentry? Without
pausing for reply we go on to Mrs.
LANES prey the middle class wife:
"Shc buys cheap food. but she decorates her
baby with that white plush cloak and that awful
plush cap which her middle class soul loves. and
which bear witness to her prosperity. So her olive
branch Is carried about In plush while her Husband
has dismal Tetrospects OF other days. hardly ap-
preciated. when he took his luscious supper at
third rate restaurant which In remembrance seems
banquet at for the gods"
Travellers in England will please no.
tice that baby with white plush cloak
and plush cap marks the middle class
mother. Weeds stranger and less deco
rative have been seen on English
ladies of the highest" class; but we
must follow Mrs. LANE in her eocio-
logical excursion among the middle
class women:

There is but one woman of massive
intellect in England. We should have

sprouts with her.
Mrs. Lanes thesis is familiar. Wom-
en- save at the spigot and spend at the
bunghole. In some small details we may
agree with her. If it wasn't for the men
folks, she says in effect, how would women
get anything to eat? Now, it is a notori-

The Dead Language of 1890.

A good memory is sometimes helpful
and sometimes hurtful. It Is often en-
barrassing to others than its possessor.
There are men whose memory for things
that are past is so good that they have no
inclination to learn anything new. So II
is with democratic bourbons and repub-
lican standpatters.
Among the men with good memories is
DIR. e. Benjamin Andrews, president of
the University of Nebraska. He has been
telling the students there about bimetal-
1ism. parity of the metals, relation be-
tween wheat and silver, &c, &c. Some
men never will let the past bury it's dead.
