 An additional sign of the times IS the increase of postoftices and the multiplication of newspapers, espe- ciallv along the eastern edge of the empire. The postoffiees have ln- creased from about one hundred tour years ago to some eighteen hundred today. The number is still ptltul1y small. but the rate of increase is striking indication of progress.

 Of course, this is only a very small leavpH in large mass, but the condl- tions are at least as promising as in Japan thirty years ago.

APPEALS FOR CHARITY.

The Charity Organization Society appeals for S20
for a widow thirty-nne years old who is anxious
to keep her children until they able to help
toward the support of the family. Her husband
died last July. and she has managed to get along
with some money she had from her husbands in
surance and little help from relatives The latter
are all too poor to give regular aid. Her little
rooms are comfortably furnished and kept neat
and clean Her four boys range in from thir-
teen years to fifteen months and the little girl is
bright and attractive. A monthly pension of $40
for year with the small amount the mother is
able to earn by washing would keep the family
comfortably. Any money for this sent to the
Charity Organization Society No. 100 East I'd
St. will be duly and publicly acknowledged.
The Charity Organization Society renews its ap-
peal for $40 to pay the board for one year in
home for incurables of invalid seventy-fve years

who has outlived all his relatives and friends and
who through a series of misfortunes. not through
any fault of his own. has been left penniless and
helpless in his old age. Any money for this case
sent to the Charity Organization Society, No lO5

edged.

BOGUS STOCK HUNT OFF.
FINDING NOT ADMITTED.
.Seton's Indictment for Forgery En-
Dected-GarUdn Is Retcent.

While it was apparent yesterday that Plnker-
ton and police detectives were not keeping up
the search for bogus Norfolk and Western stock
certificates which Charles Augustus seton
caused TO be manufactured in large quantities,
thew would not admit that they had found the
certificates or had knowledge Of their destruc-
ton The certificates were not in the box whlch
Seton recently had in the vaults OF the stand
ard Safe Deposit Company at No. % Broad-st
Assistant District Attorney GarVah was
asked yesterday if the detectives had searched
for the certificates in Seton's home, in the city.
or In the yacht on which he had prepared to
take a voyage to Southern waters, and he re-
piled: '1 don't think it will be necessary for
me to have any houses or yachts searched
Have the bogus certificates been found?"
he was asked.
Il will not say anything that subject now
was his reply.
Mr.. Garvan said he did not know whether
William Duke, of Cleveland, who bought one
of the bogus certificates from the mysterious
E. /. Green, would come to this city and try
to identify any person as the seller. 1t will not
be necessary, Mr.. Caravan says. to have any
witness from Cleveland in order to convict Sc
ton of issuing the bogus certificates, since H.
G. Thomas, manager OF the Hamilton Bank
Note Engraving and Printing Company. which
printed the certificates for Seton. and Andrew
D. Meloy who made a deal with Seton for
floating some of the certificates last Septem-
Der and stopped the deal when 1t was discov-
cred that the certificates were not genuine will
be witnesses against Seton
It is probable that Seton will be indicted soon
for forgery in issuing the bogus certificates, but
he will be tried first on the grand larceny
charge, for which be is already under indict-
ment. His case was set down for this morning
before Recorder Golf, but 1t probably will not
begin until tomorrow. In the mean time Sc
ton remains in the Tombs.
Mr.. Garvan yesterday declined to tell any
thing of the confession which made to
him Friday and Saturday by Samuel Hum
phreys, who posed as Collins" in the deal
which Seton tried TO put through with Meoy's
aid last September Humphreys will be wit
ness against Seton in the Norfolk and Western
case, and he will not be allowed to talk about
his testimony in advance. There is reason to
believe, however, that Humphreys has given in
formation of transactions of Seton in conneC-
ton with the issue of the bogus Norfolk and
Western stock which will create a sensation
when the facts become known

THE FINANCIAL MARKETS.
Banks Getting Back Money Lost in the FaHGoId Exports
Probable.

advances in prices have been made. but it IS
not considered probable that there will be
general rise in trade quotations in the present
year. as it is not the policy of the men who are
chiefly concerned with the prosperity of the iron
and steel trade to move prices higher just be-
cause of the enormous demand their theory
being that In most instances prices are high
enough and that advance would serve to dis
courage buyers. In the first twelve days of
January purchases of steel amounted to twice
the output of the mills. The prosperity that Is
promised for the steel industry this year also is
assured in the copper trade. in which conditions
such as TO induce the belief that production
this year will have difficulty in keeping up to
the demand for consumption. There is active
inquiry for the metal in all parts of the world.
and the recent new strikes in the Montana mines
have added tremendous interest to already
remarkable copper situation. 1t Is quite likely
that people who are interested In copper stocks
will go copper mad this year, but there appears
to be no indication of the possibility of the de-
velopment of unhealthfuI conditions IN the trade.
nor is it considered likely that prices for copper
will rule at the level which spectators predict.
Copper doubtless will not go under IS cents this
year, and at that price 1t is possible for the pro-
ducers to secure handsome profits. A large sale
of lake copper for delivery in June made
last week at 1871 cents.

NEW RAILROAD CENTRE

tiDes at Harrison-Big Changes.

With the announcement yesterday that the
agreement entered into by the Public Service
Corporation, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany the Belmont Ryan syndicate and the Nc
Adoo tunnel interests in connection with the
proposed high speed electric lines between New
ark and New-York had been formally Endorsed
and the work all mapped out, came the infor-
nation that the town of Harrison. heretofore
little known is to become one of the great rail-
road centres. 1t was learned from an author
ttative source that with the establishment of the
electric lines, the Pennsylvania company would
abandon its terminal at Jersey City and that all
It's trains would stop in Harrison, where the
locomotive would be abandoned and the trip
made to various points in Manhattan by means
of electric locomotives. AS planned by the
fnanciers. a central yard for transportation is
to be established in Harrison. at 4th-st., where
connections will be made with the proposed
new electric lines.
1t is proposed to stop all Western and South
trains at that place, and abandon the loco
motives. Propelled by electric engines, the
will be carried across the meadows and
through the Bergen Hill and North River tun-
nels, to emerge at the 34th-st. station, which

River into Long Island City, and thence over
land to connect with the New-HaVen road for
many points in New-Engand.
1t was also stated that of the largest and
most complete railroad terminals in the world
would be erected at 4th-st. The carrying out of
this project Will mean many changes in traffic
conditions for the northern part Of New-Jersey.

ALASKA SHRINKING.
Nez0 Official Map Shoes Loss of
1000 Square Miles an Sir Years.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau

From The Tribune Bureau
Washington, jan. IA new map of Alaska has
just been completed by the Geological Survey.
and, according to the estimates of the scientists
moe has lost nearly four thousand square miles
in the last five six years. The last previous
map issued by the government gave Alaska an
area of $4,000 square miles The map sets
forth the area as $685. 40.5. Alfred H. Brooks, who
has made many Journeys to Alaska and who has
corrected many of former surveys, Is the
topographer responsible for the latest map; and
although thus far the survey has issued only a
preliminary photographic copy of the work, it is
declared by experts to be the only trustworthy
map extant.
The Russians, who made the first drawings Of
Alaskas outlines back in the early POS of the last
century would probably be amazed to the
changes which have taken place since they sur
far the most startling changes have been made in
the memory Of the present generation. The last
previous map, issued four five years ago, did
not even show what is the largest city in the
Territory. Not dot was there to represent Fair
banks, which to-day claims a population of 1000
or 5000 and which has outdstanced Nome, Skag-
way and every other gold town in the production
of the yellow metal and the number of its inhab-
itants.
One of the officials of the survey, commenting
upon the area of Alaska, as shown by the new
map observed to-day that if the future surveys

made by Secretary Seward in 1867 will be literally

DOUGLAS WANTS TARIFF REVISION.
Ex-Governor Says Present Leather Duty
Means Increase in Price of Shoes.


Brockton, Mass, Jan lex Governor Will
lam L. Douglas issued a statement to-day de-
claring himself unreservedly in favor of imme-
date revision of the tariff and stating that the
interests Of Massachusetts, demand the admis-
sion, duty free OF hides, sole leather, COAL Ium-
Der, iron and wood pulp. Mr.. Douglas de-
voted the principal part OF his statement to the
probable effect of tariff revision on the branch
of industry in which he is engaged-the manu-
facture of shoes, He said In part:
As manufacturer I ask for revised tariff
I would gladly give up the duty of 25 per cent
shoes for free raw materials. I will go
further than this and say that I would exchange
the duty on shoes for free hides and sole leather
Sole leather costs 40 per cent more than
# did in 1897. Most Of the feathers used in the
top Of shoes have increased only 10 per cent. To-
day shoe manufacturers cannot reduce the cost
Of labor or the cost of materials, and they can
not take a smaller profit and remain in business.
Failing in this, must increase the price of
shoes or make them of less value for the money
now paid by the wearer
