THE TwO-CENT-A-MTLE RAILROAD
RATE IN NEW ENGLAND.

President MeIlen has established n
two-cent- mile rate for the regular
fare on the Berkshire Division of the
New Haven System Of railroads. and
it is expected that this will be extend
ed to all branches of the system. which
has approximately 5000 miles of track.
This is not the result of restrictive leg
islation. but a conviction Of policy. In
1886 two-cent rate was established
over the 49, miles of the system be-
tween Springfield and New York. and
il was confidently predicted that it
would result in a loss of S500.O00 in
the passenger receipts for the year.
Instead those receipts showed a gain
of 100000. \ feature Of this reduction
will be the benefit that will accrue to
the branch lines. Heretofore the main
lines have enjoyed the benefit of lower
rates and increased business. but now
the branches are to have their turn.
For example. the Litchfield Branch. 80
miles long. has been charging four
cents a mile. which Will now be cut in
two. The action of the New Haven
Road will probably be followed by all
the other New England roads. espe-
ciaIIy in the more densely populated
sections.

A GALLANT ACHIEVEMENT.

| The American Army and Navy has
again distinguished themselves in a
characteristic way. which must add
greatly to their prestige in the Far
East. A force of soldiers and blue
jackets with a detachment of the Ma
tive Constabulary stormed hostile
Moro fortress of the most difficult de-
scription in the crater of Mount DaJo,
on the Island of Jolo, and after
bloody fight completely overCame the
enemy, killing 600 of the worst char
acters in the Archipelago. All the des-
perate ana intractable men in the
Islands, who had been giving trouble
to the authorities everywhere, were at
last concentrated in one band. which
established itself in a seemingly i'm
pregnable position IN the crater of
Mount Dajo. From there bands would
sally out to rob. plunder and murder
peaceful and law-abiding Filipinos. 1t
was this kind of a thing which had
forever tormented the Spaniards. who
lacked the enterprise to follow the
desperadoes to their stronghold and
whip them there. A different class of
men was encountered in the Ameri-
cans. Mount Dajo is 2,1O0 feet high,
with its slopes covered with ridges of
lava and heavy timber growing wher-
ever the rich volcanic soil affords suit
able opportunities. The last 500 feet
of the mountain reaching to the crest
is scoria and lava from the volcano
and forms steep incline of fully 50I
degrees. 1t was determined by Maj
Gen. Wood that nothing short of ex-
tirpation Of these desperadoes would
suffice. and Col. Joseph w. Duncan,
9Th U. s., was sent against them with
a portion of his regiment. the 2Sth
Field Battery. the crew of the gum
boat Pampanga and n small force of
the Native Constabulary. The noun
tain crest was surrounded, and thei
troops fought forward over all these
difficulties from the afternoon of
March s. In spite of the fiercest re-
siistarcs Of the cornered desperadoes
the troops worked their way forward |
gallartly and persistently. 1t was nee |
essary to bring the guns up the cliff
by block-and-tackle- Finally, by the
morning of March 8, after two days
of fighting, the troops were lined
around ths rim of the crater and had
penetrated .n several places the enc
my's lirs of works When resistance
finally ceased 600 of the Moros were
fH..nd to be dead. The rest threw
down their arms and surrendered. Our
loss was Is enlisted men killed and SO
wounded, with three of the Constabu-
larry killed and 13 wounded. Every
one behaved with the greatest gal
iantry and persistence. and the result
must be an overwhelming influence for
good in demonstrating to the Islanders
that no matter how bad men may be
and how desperate, they will be fol-
lowed to the end by men who are
brayer and more determined and forced
to submit or die. This probably makes
an end to the fighting in the Philip
pines. 1t is a lesson that the bad men
there have never yet had taught them,
and they were encouraged by their
previous successes with the Spaniards
to believe that they could go on in
definitely, maintaining the same guer-
rilla warfare that had been the habit
of the country for 400 years. This
signal victory dispels that idea from
everyone's mind.

LABOR IN THE ZONE.

So much has been said relative to
Canal Zone that it is pleasant to hear
the other side of the case. There is
going to be necessarily all the time a
great deal of stomach-aching from pro-
fessionaI fault-finders, who are always
ca the lookout for something to cry
aloud about. Digging the canal can
not be accompanied with all the elegant
accomplishments Of a o'clock tea, nor
are the laborers gentlemen who would
appear well in carpeted room. Dig
ging the canal is rough, hard work,
and there is no question that under the
management of America the work will
be done with far less dangerous and
disagreeable accomplishments than ever
a great work was prosecuted before in
the history of the world. Poultney
Bigelow's statements that the laborers
are returning to Jamaica in large num-
bers because of their ill-treatment is
being very thoroughly disproved by the
actual reports of arrivals and depart
ures. The negroes are going there i'll
greater numbers from Jamaica than
ever, and more of them are remaining
there. During January alone 1,137
more negroes came to the Isthmus from
Jamaica than went away. All these
number of the latter, who were driven
away because they were found to be
worthless as laborers or dangerous to
those employed The Governor of ia
maica sent commissioner to the 18th
mus to investigate the conditions, and
his report is thorough aTd decisive
He says that the men are weil-treated
and weli-fed, and sums up the condi-
tions thus:
"The laborer can live decently and
yet save money in the zone There is
no reason why. at the end of a years
work, he should not return to his ma
tive land with few pounds and il
he is prudent after laboring in the
zone for two or three years he should
be in position to set up for himself
as an independent peasant proprietor
i'll one of these islands: but he should
understand distinctly that he is going
to the zone to work and not to loaf
and that the license which many sulk-
eFS no" ENJOY III Ianama VIII be put
stop to at no very distant date. The
professional shirker will soon not be
able to obtain employment in the zone.
He will be deported to his native land,
and will never again be allowed to set
foot in one of the camps
One just complaint upon which the
Jamaicans themselves are reused is
that the Government of Jamaica itself
is trying to profit out of the labor sup
ply by exacting a fee of five pounds
ts25) for repatriation when the laborer
comes back. The Jamaican papers are
pointing out that this is bad business,
since 1t is best to have the laborers go
freely to the Isthmus, make what
money they can and bring it back to
be spent in Jamaica

Postmaster T. II. Baker. of Louis
Vile. Ky. shows a fine sense of humor.
One of the hot gOspelers. who is a
great deal more anxious about other
mems souls than his own. wrote to him
from Rutland. VT, saying that he was
deeply impressed with the wickedness
of Louisville, and felt the necessity of
exerting himself to save that city from
the fate of Sodam and Gomorrah.
and his letter ended: send me a list
of the unsaved men and women of
Louisville 1t was delicate job to
give a Postmaster to single out the
goats from the sheep in as great a city,
and the work would have required
many sleepless nights and much fine
analysis of the different grades of un-
regeneracy. He finally solved 1t by
sending the missionary the City Direc-
tory. containing 250,000 names. and
saying that according to strict ortho-
doxy every one of these was more or
less of sinner and would be benefited
by proper teachings. Now it is up to
the missionary to select those who are
in most imminent danger of damna-
tion, save them from the flames, and
so work his way up through the ranks
deepest sins are those of beating the
tax-collector and pride of heart and
