NEW STOCK EXCHANGE.
Consolidated Board Putting Up Hand- AOme Structure In Lower BFOad St.


 New York, Jan. 5.-Wall Streets financial district is to have a new ex- change. Foundations have been begun for a building of imposing design for the Consolidated Stock and Petroleum Exchange, to stand on the southeast corner of Broad and Beaver Streets, two blocks south Of the New York Stock Exchange. The location of the new structure is attracting much at tention because it marks the beginning of the expansion of the financial dis trict in a new direction and will give a decided impetus to the development of lower Broad Street.
 The price paid for the site is reported to have been $SO0,00O. which together with the $500, 900 for the structure It. self will bring the total expenditure up to $1 100000. The exterior of the build ing will be of limestone on a base of granite topped by dome 30 feet in diameter and surrounded by sixteen massive Ionic columns. The interior will be protected from fire by the safest methods of fireproof construction. the specifications calling for the use of un- burnable hollow tile, such as forms the floors and partitions of skyscrapers and other buildings which must be ah- solutely safe from fire.
 Five feet above the Broad Street level will be the board room. reached by steps running the entire 100 feet on that side and giving access to the mem bers entrances through three large doors The trading floor will be s5 by S2 feet. giving an area of about 7.O0e square feet. The room will be unus- ually well lighted by central sklight dome. The Beaver Street side will con- slst of four floors which will be de- voted to the Exchange Clearing House and quarters for the officers and com. mittees. The greater part of the base ment will be used as restaurant. bar ber shop. etc.
 In speaking of the new building. President Budd of the Consolidated Ex- change said: "The idea. of putting up and occupying a structure of our own has met with the unanimous approval of the Board. We have been here at Broadway and Exchange Place for over twenty years. but the building stands on leaschold ground and there seems to be every reason why we should ar range to own our own home and be in absolute control of our property"

NEGROES SHIPPED
SEND ALL COLGRED TROOPS Tt
 PHILIPPINES.
General Bell Asserts That 1t is Thefl Time to Go, and Not Caused By Home Un-
 Yuliness.

Washington, Jan. 6.--The sth and 10th cavalry. and the 18th Infantry, in- cluding all ehs negro soldiers in the regular army in this country. have been ordered to prepare for service in the Philippines, and will sail at dlner- ent times between March s ana June , of this year.
 The only other regiment composed of negroes, the 24th Infantry, is now doing service in the Philippines.
 Other troops ordered 10 the Philip pines are the 9th Cavalry and the 18th, 26th, 2sth and 3oth Infantry. The troops which will be relieved by the sending of these new regiments will be the 4th, 7th and Sth cavalry and the 9th, 18th, 18th, 18th and 18th Infantry.
 It was stated by Major General Bell, chief of stan, that the negro regiments are being sent to the Philippines be- cause it Is their turn to go and not be- cause of any desire to get them out of the United States at this time.
 The negro troops are to sail for the Philippines before most of the white organizations, the last of which will not leave this country until early m January 1908.
 The following statement was issued from the War Department in explana- ton of the orders:
 There was & time. between 1902 and l5Vo, when the cOlOTeu regiments Wero not sent to the Philippines at all. In 1905, however. this policy was renta- lively changed and the 24th Infantry. colored regiment. was sent to the Philippines and is now there. The ser- vice of the 24th Infantry in the Phfl- ippines has been entirely satisfactory and 1t Is thought that the service of the other regiments will be.
 "In reporting upon this subject Gen. eral Wood states:
 CT recently visited and made an inspection of the departments of the Visayas and Mindanao and found the 24th Infantry very we'll liked by tho civil authorities in the neighborhood of its varied stations. Tn fact at Taclo- ban, the Governor expressed particu- Iarly appreciation of tl:e fine conduct of this regiment
 "Eecause of this report and experi- ence of the general staff recommended and the department decided 1t to be wise to return to the for ser policy of equa! foreign aervice fer all the regi- ments of the army.
 The present assignment of the oth- CT colored regiments to the Philippines is merely fer an equal distribution of foreign service. They have not been there for four years. It now becomes fair to them and to other regiments that they be assigned to the Philip pines in due oroer.
 Foreign service. 1t should be stated. increases the pay of the men 20 per cent. and counts double /time for re- tireme1t. It was pointed out at the de- partmert. therefore, that the idea that these orders were prejudicial to the colored troops or were made on account Of the Brownsville Affair, was utterly absurd"

motive engineers, also participated in the conference but refused to express an opinion.
 The situation as regards the possibil- ity of an extended strike on the rail- roads is admitted to be serious. About 175.000 employees are neGNtiating at the present time with the road man. agers for new wage scales and 1t is feared that the spreading of the fire mems strike to the other Hartman roads will cause great inconvenience.
 MT. Hannahan said the employees oe the other Hartman lines will not bV involved at least for the present. He admitted, however, that he had shifted his headquarters from Peoria to Chi- cago for the purpose of handling a general strike more efficiently should such a condition develop
 Mir. Hannahan declared the situation Is one of the most delicate which has confronted the organized railroad em- ployes of the country in years. sim gle move on the part of the firemen to spread the present strike, he said, iS almost certain to involve engineers trainmen and conductors all over thA West

Operator Says Fresuent Violations Are
 Made which Are Not Reported and Which Render Regula- tions Entirely Worth

l Washington, Jan. 5.-The block sys- | tenn employed by the Baltimore and
 Ohio Railroad with particular reference
 to the wreck last Sunday at Terra Cot
 ta in which number of persons were
 killed and injured, was further inquired
 into today by the Interstate Commerce | Commission.
 l At the conclusion of the days tes-
 tinmony, Commissioner Clements an-
 nounced that the investigation would 1 be adjourned until January +. because
 of the fact that the commission would
 meet in Chicago on Monday and fur | ther. that certain data on the subject
 of block signals on the Baltimore and Cflio as well az the Southern Railway | would be included in the present inves- tigation was necessary before the in quiry could proceed.
 Two witnesses were on the stand to- day Engineer Hildebrand, of engine
 No. 212o, which drew the dead" Bal timore and Ohio train that collided with
 No. e6, concluded his testimony begun yesterday, and Operator M. W. Phillips. | of Takoma, the nearest station to Ter ra Gotta, where the accident happened. Hildeprand swore that on last Sunday night it was impossible for him to see
 any lights. In fact, he said. he could
 see nothing over the boiler of the en- zine he was driving. He had, he said.
 no reason to believe that No. ss had not reached Washington. He was not addicted to the use of cocaine. he said, nor was there any liquor on his engine Sunday night.
 Telegraph Operator Phillips was con- ducted through searching line of questioning, which brought out the
 fact that trains frequently passed the red target at his station but that they invariably. before last Sunday, had stopped and returned He admitted. however. that .he had ignored the rules of the company in not reporting these cases and said-also. in reply to Com missioner Clements, it was very possi- bIe that the non- observance of the block system rules which had been practiced by him made the system
 worse than none at all.

Such bogus baronets re either rank fmpostors who wish to procure Illicit prestige. and, incidentally, longer cred 1t with tradesmen. or harmless Folk who annex a lapsed baronetcy of their own name, and with which they may or may not be connected to gratify their own vanity.
 The former class usually dig out some name from Burke's Extinct Baronetcies' and If 1t Is not their own they make 1t so; then they declare their descent from son or brother of the last holder whose name was never registered. Thus they are se- cure from exposure without expert in- quiry.

No Sisn of City of Panama on Sant

Santa Cruz, Cal. Jan. 5.-Nothing has been received here confirming the report that the steamer City of Pan- anna has been wrecked off Pigeon Point.
 This afternoon a number of officials of the Portland Cement Company as- cended the mountains in the neighbor- hood of their plant, which Is located ten miles south of Waddell Creek. and searched the horizon with a pair of heavy field glasses.
 The quest was fruitless and they scout the idea that the City of Panama or any other vessel is aground off Pigeon Point, claiming that there arc no rocks in those waters except those in the immediate vicinity of the light house. which Is easily distinguished from the beach.

Birmingham. Ala. Jan. 5.--A special to The News from Hattiesburg, Miss, says the three Longstreet brothers me- groes wanted for the murder of Con- ductor Robert n. Harrison on the Mo- bile and Ohio Railway, near Crawford. Miss, last week have been arrested at Stale.
 They were recognized by a drummer, who assisted the local officer, Captain A. c. Dary, in making tho arrest. The negroes offered no resistance. They are now in jail at Winston, but will be taken to Jackson for safe keeping as it is thought 1t will be dangerous to return them to the scene of the crime.
 A reward of $500 Is outstanding. The killing of Conductor Harrison was the beginning of the rioting at Scooba Christmas day in which several negroes were shot to death,

The fact that the business done was much greater at the end of the year than at the beginning is taken by those famil- far with the situation as presaging bumper year for 1907.
