TELLS OF LIEUTENANTs UPSET
An Account of Incident of Pacific
 Cruise.

A New York Herald dispatch tells the following story of the incident in South America, in which lieutenant Castleman and Lieutenant Henderson were thrown from their carriage and narrowly escaped injury:
 The destroyers left at daylight and started for Rio. The day was very hot and at half-past nine o'clock the va rlous rear admrals called upon Inc commanderin in- chief. and were told to be ready to call upon the governor al half-past ten o'clock and at that time they left In row, each rear aumlral being accompanied by his flag lieuten- ant. They had carriages on the Wharf and were driven direct to the gov ernment house, where they met the governor. Sir Henry Jackson
 After this call Rear Admiral Evans decided to go to the Queens Park hoiel, and allow the governor to return the call there. And on the way down oc- cured an extraordinary incident. lleu- tenants Castleman and Henderson were driven by Captain Acton, the colonei s de-camp. in a small English dos cart. Rounding the curve into queen park the pony hoisted his reserve speed pennant, and went ahead four bells. Arriving at the next turn the pony pun his helm hard a-starboard and started around.
 Port! You lubber!" yelled Lieuten- ant Castleman, but the pony refused to mind his helm, and made beautiful head-on collision with a stone fence.
 Captain Acton took a graceful header into the road. Lieutenant Castleman vaulted to the rear and landed fairly. Lieutenant Henderson held on and re- tained his seat
 The shafts of the cart having been broken, the cart ran up on the port quarter of the pony. and said pony proceeded to repel boarders by some well directed kicks astern. One kick was enough to show that the craft was no longer seaworthy. so Lieutenant Henderson gave the abandon ship sig nal, and by long jump cleared the pony. and landed safely. on the beach. receiving a hard blow on his sta'bd q shin from the pony's afterguard.
 The ship having been abandoned. the pony proceeded to demolish same with few well directed shots from his hoofs, and having gotten clear. again twisted his reserve speed pennant and started ahead. When last seen his course was S s. w. and he had steam on all boilers. making speed that bade fair to exceed all previous trials.
 Captain Acton stood In the middle of the road and cursed The American officers offered condolences, but the captain surveyed the wreck with tears in his eyes and moaned:-
 And the bally thing cost me fifty quid you know, only last week.
 The party arrived at the hotel on foot, without further mishap. The gov ernor called at o'clock and after he left the Americans drove 10 Colonel Swain's. the commandant of the con stabulary here, for an afternoon lawn party

TIDE HAS TURNED Vice President ,Byrnes Speaks on. Conditions on the
 Road. FOREIGN CARS DECLINE Conditions bf Early Month Unchanged Would Mean Big
 Loss.

The Boston News Bureau on Satur- day published the following interest ing survey of conditions on the New Haven road at the present time
 Traffic conditions are looking up on the lines of the New York, New Ha- ven and Hartford railroad. The first signs of this improvement were dis cernible soon after the middle of the month Merchants and manufactur- CTS along the road are talking more hopefully of the business outlook, and provement there is an actual increase in the volume of freight offering for shipment
 Vice-President Byrnes says; The public in general have little concep- tion of the severity of the business de- pression which broke upon us last December Had the conditions on the first day of January remained un- changd throughout the month we would have shown loss in net earn ings last month of s1,000,O00, but we believe the tide has turned and that from now out the railroads will wit ness slowly improving conditions
 'We now have but 5000 foreign cars on our rails, which contrasts with 19,000 year ago This is due to two causes--first, the 50-cent per diem charge, which operates to hasten the return of foreign cars to the home road, and, second, the fact that we have so greatly added to our own equipment that we are drawing less and less upon the cars of other roads
 of course it goes without saving that we have great many idle cars, and the statement from Chicago that there are to-day on the roads of this country 350,o idle cars is no exagger- ation. We have white-l leaded I25 loco motives. and put them into cold stor- age But this is history. These con- ditions are behind us, and we are look ing hopefully and confidently for bet ter conditions from now out
 On official of the New Haven road says: We have no notes maturing un- til next fall and these we expect to pay as they mature"
 In November and December the New Haven road retired about s1, l00. 900 short-time notes, and offered to antici- pate payment on larger amounts. but was largely unsuccessful.
 Beginning October 20. and continuing through December at intervals of about one week the company has total of sS,320.00o two-year debenture notes carrying from 4 1-2 to , 1-2 per cent interest, which fall due. These notes are in a sense floating debt, although not classified in balance sheet under bills payable. The funds to provide for their payment have been largely pro- rided through receipts on account \ of

FINANCIAL REVIEW Uncertainty as to Development of Business Reflected in
 the Market.
SLUGGISH AND IRREGULAR
Minor Bank Closings Received With Eouanimity Owing to Peculiar
 Conditions.

New York, Feb 2.-The sluggish and irregular movement of prices of securities last week was the reflection of the indecisive attitude of specula- tive opinion towards the immediate outlook for business The market showed resistance to several untoward incidents of the week, and while this was attributed to measures of benevo- lent control by large banking and cap ltal interests, these measures were ac- cepted as testimony to the confidence existing in the longer outlook. The pronounced ease which has developed In money markets all over the world affords facilities for taking on securi- ties, but there is no evidence that these nave been taken advantage of to an important extent outside the protec- i've measures by those supporting the market Outside operations through commission houses have been at low ,tage, and the professional element has been discouraged from taking part in operations by the growing perception that transactions were largely confined 70 themselves In the dealings in bonds at the stock exchange there has been an increased activity and tone of strength that has been accepted as one of the most encouraging factors in he situation,
 The closing ups of several of the mi nor aanks in the New York clearing house during the week and which were assisted through the autumn cri- sis was accepted with comparative equaninity in the financial district. Conditions affecting those banks are seen to he peculiar and such as do not involve the general banking situation in New York, and the decision that it was not necessary to carry them fur- ther merely for the purpose of saving the other banks from the possible shock of their closing gave an impress sion of confidence in the restored feel ing of trust in the general banking -position The publication at Washing ton of the governments plan of pre- cedure for enforcing a dissolution of the Hartman railroad merger and the substance of the presidents message in advocacy of new employers lia- bility law brought new influence to bear on the stock market and empha- sIzed the dulness and heaviness of its tone

This work was completed in 1885 at
a fabulous expense. 1t Is said to have
cost million. though even this ex-
penditure seems small compared with
that OF the Combination shaft, sunk on
the Comstock lode in 1881: this was
800 feet deep and cost $6.000,000.
The cost of the big shaft Of the Va
lenciana was offset by an extraordinary
production, stated at $500. 100000. most
of it extracted during the latter half OF
the eighteenth century. This figure
corresponds with the total output Of
the Comstock up to the time when the
lower workings were abandoned IN

To regimental and company COM
manders as well as the specially de-
tailed officers is permitted the widest
possible latitude in their comments and
criticisms, with view to furnishing
the incentive to development of the
whole military force, and they exercise
it. The spirit of stagnation has no
place in the army of the Philippines.
These comments Of officers are made
with perfect freedom. General Wood
has impressed upon all that they have
the greatest possible latitude; that they
can say their full say about the part
each man plays, from himself down,
without fear or favor. And they do 1t.
Many of the suggestions made by
younger officers last year were adopted
this year: the suggestions of this year
viii doubtless furnish the basis for
improvement in the future.
/ have never seen gathered together
keener lot of young officers than those
who have worked on Pasay field from
sunrise to sunset, literally, during the
last week; there is no possibility of an
army suffering from dry rot with such
men as these on edge to keep 1t UP to
date; and these men have in their COM
ments upon the military features OF
this meet full play for the Advancement
OF their individual ideas, with the cer-
tasnty that they will receive careful
and thorough consideration from men
as keen as themselves to adopt every
thing that can make for advancement.

tsry activity and efficiency for his or
sanization.'
The entries for the division meet are
made by selection at the different de-
partment meets which precede it. There
are preliminary post competitions to
determine entries for the department
meet: later on come these department
meets. in which commands and men
compete FOR the honor of representing
the department at the division meet.
The department contests are almost as
interesting as the greater event. the
only difference being in size; the events
are the same and the contests are
spurred on by the keenest possible
rivalry for the coveted prize OF selec-
tion as representatives of the depart
ment. These preliminary meets We're
held last month. The result is that each
department has been represented in the
Pasav contests by its crack commands
and its best men in every line.
Here the crack cavalry troops Of one
department have been pitted against
the crack troops of other departments;
the best infantry company OF one de-
partment has had as competitors the
best of its class in the other depart
ments; mountain battery was pitted
against molntain battery, hospital de-
tachment against hospital detachment,
signal corps outfit against its fellows,
pack trains from North Luzon against
pack trains from the yisayas and from
Mindanao, and SO on through the list,
with special emphasis on the contests
between the crack companies OF the
scouts, TagAIogs against Maccabebes
and nacanos and yisayans and repre-
sentatives OF other divisions of names,
although of1cially they are differen-
tiated only by company numbers
highly valuable feature breathing
the spirit OF the meet is the frank and
free criticism of the officers connected
with it. Every officer is called upon to
