Washington. d. O., March 24-The
attention of tho President has been
called to the fact that the line of the
army is somewhat crippled by tho
large number of commissioned officers
absent on detached duty and by the
fact that few of the companies of in.
fautry or troops Of cavalry are up to
their authorized enlisted strength
This is especially so in the Philippine
Islands, where there are companies
out on field service which are reduced
TO 20 or 30 men or about one.n fifth TO
one-third Of what the enlisted strength
should be- There is no help for this.

pines, where the situation might be.

CITY LOSES ON FERRY.
Commissioner BenseI Confirms Re
pOrt-Defciency Vas Enpected.

Dock Commissioner Bensel confirmed yester-
day the report that the municipal ferry fell far
short Of paying expenses. He said that the
service was designed to meet the expected in
crease in Staten Island population and
planned that the service expected to be run
at a loss of about $250.OO0. Mr.. Bensel said:
There is nothing strange in the report that the
municipal ferry is a big expense. The boats are
the best In the harbor. run at high speed,
and wear and tear naturally affects them While
IT was anticipated even in the administration
or Commissioner Hawkes. that there would be
a loss of $4,000 year in maintaining such a
service, we are glad TO say that the increase OF
"A per cent in receipts over the old service has
helped somewhat in decreasing this loss The
boats have met with some accidents because
at the beginning the pilots were not accustomed
10 handling such ponderous craft. This was
expected, but l am glad to say that the cap
tains handle the ferryboats to-day 100 per cent
better than they did two months ago. We tried
10 give Staten Island a good service and hur-
RED the work along before the twin slips were
completed. This was a great handicap but
We got the boats running. private CORPORA
ton would have waited until both slips were
complete. The new slip at st. George is not
used because the pilots don't want to run into
IT, They are afraid of it just as a Locomotives
engineer is afraid OF a new switch 1 shall go
TO ST. George myself next week and compeI the
pilots TO use the new slip.

Railroad Company WiH Borrov
S15 100000 for Nezo Plants.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has prac-
ticaly arranged TO sell serial bonds TO an amount
aggregating Sl5.ooOoOO TO finance the construction
of water plants the main line between Pittsburg
and New-York and on the more important branches
Of the system. The financing will be done through
contract with companies organized by the Penn
sylVania.
The securities be issued will be collateral trusts
secured upon the stock OF water companies and
upon contracts between the Pennsylvania and these
companies, calling for sufficient revenues to the
water companies TO meet the interest Both prn-
cpal and interest will ultimately be paid out of
the current income of the PENNSYLVANIA.
The bonds will probably not be underwritten In
New-York. but will be placed by the company
through firms in Pennsylvania. In the future
the Pennsylvania Will also sell 100000 of equip
ment trusts. this being the usual allowance of the
company. The equipment under contract includes
about twenty thousand cars.
