VANDERBILTS SELL.
Family Is Beginning to Let Go of
Railroad Property.

New York. Feb. 1S.-The Spuyten-
Duyval & Port Morris railroad.
short connecting link of 5.31 miles,
extending from Spuyten Duyval to Mott
Haven in the Bronx and used as a
means for the New York Central to
enter the heart of New York city,
has been sold by the Vanderbilts to
the New York Central system The
sale marks the first transfer by the
Vanderbilt family of important con-
Meeting links in the Central system
which were handed down TO the pres
ent generation by the late Commodore
Vanderbilt.
The transaction. according to the
Tribune today, is indicative of the fact
that the Vanderbilt family is with
drawing more and more from the
railroad field. particularly from ac-
tive Identification with the New York
Central system. 1t is said that all
members of the family were in SYM
pathy with the sale The considera-
tion was part of the $4,000,OO0 three
and a half per cent first mortgage
bonds of the New York Central
authorized last year. E V. w.
Rossiter. for many years treasurer of
the New York Central arranged the
sale it is said, although in some
the result of influence brought to bear
by F. H. Hartman, who recently be-
came a director of the Central. and
by w c. Brown. the new president.
At any rate it is pursuant to a policy
determined upon by the management
to obtain control of all properties
essential to the operation of the sys-
tenn.
The will of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
who died in 1900. son of the late
VIM. H. Vanderbilt and a brother of
William K. Vanderbilt. left $494,500
in stock of the Spuyten DuyVal and
Port Morris road. half of the entire
capital stock. to his heirs. The stock
was appraised at 5000 a share. The
other half. it is supposed, was in
herited by VIM K. Vanderbilt. for
William H. divided the residue of his
estate equally between these sons.
AS the Central is said to have pur-
chased the entire stock. it is assumed
that both branches of the Vanderbilt
family agreed on the transaction.

PLAN FOR ANNUITIES.
Hansbrough Has Bill to Provide for
Aged Citizens.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Hans
brough has introduced a bill providing for
a system of old age annuities designed to
take the place of the demands for an old
age pension for government employees but
extending to all classes. Under it, the
government would undertake 20 receive
deposits and to allow three per cent COM
pound interest thereon.
If a person at the age of 20 years de
posted % cents week at the age of 50
years such person would be allowed an
annuity of $12e.91- In one case of death
of the annuitant prior to reaching so the
amount deposited, together with the in
terest, would be paid to his or her heirs
1T is also provided explained Mr..
Hansbrough, that a person of any age
may deposit a lump sum equal to the
amount that would have accumulated had
such person become a depositor at the
age of 20 and receive the annuity at
the close of the SIXTY years period. The
minimum annuity is fixed at $50 and the
maximum at $1,000 for any one person,
but the head of a household may make
old age deposits for the members of the
family.
The advantages in this plan of insur-
ance are first. it's complete security, and,
second. that the government is to give
the service without any charge to the ben
eSiciaries.''

week The rear stairway which runs
up the whole three stories of the
building is being torn out and on each
floor a room is being constructed in
place of the stair landings. closing up
the whole shaft and making additional
floor space for the offices in the
building.
On the first floor the room-16x20
feet-will be fitted up as a private Of

they make their irregular drop ms"
The room will be connected with the
offices of the postoff1ce officials and
also with the street. A new roller top
desk and file cases will be installed in
the new office. On the second floor a

there would be nothing special in the
room-just an additional space to

This old stairway was built with the
building and was used as a private
exit for the judges. 1t was before the

ECHO OF CUBAN WAR.
Spain Is All Torn Up Over Old
Telegram.

Madrid. Feb. 1S.-The bitter con
troversy. aroused last week by the
publication of some cablegrams ex-
changed between General Blanco at
regarding the surrender of the city of
Santiago, Cuba, to General Shafter on
July II, 1898, has been further en-
venomed by the appearance of
fresh batch of messages which demon
strate that the government, when 1t
found that Blanco was unutterably op-
posed to surrender, communicated di-
rectly with General Toral, the COM
mander at Santiago, giving him free
hand to make terms.
General Blanco on July l. 8 tele-
graphed to Tora1 that he would try to
relieve Santiago and instructing him
to insist that General Shafter allow
the Spanish garrison to retire to Hol-
guin or return to Spain on Spanish
ships, as Spain would continue the de-
fense. Regarding your suggestion,
General Blanco said further to General
Toral, "that some one must be found
to assume the responsibility for this
situation 1 repeat that I am respon,
sible for everything that has occurred
in Cuba since October 10 last
The same day General Blanco
cabled Madrid that the juncture of the
garrison had become impossible but
that Toran must not surrender except
on honorable conditions. Madrid
thereupon authorized Toral to treat in

General Tora1 on July II surrendered
the whole army corps with its war
material.
In transmitting the announcement
of this surrender to Madrid, Blanco
reproached the government, saying he
could have prevented it upon the
terms made He added:

SUGAR AT TWO CENTS.
What a Reduction of the Tariff Would
Bring About.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-As the opening move
in a war for cheaper sugar through the
reduction of tariff duties national COM
mittee of wholesale grocers, which has
been formed to do the fighting, is sending
out a letter showing the effects OF the
present high schedule.
According to this letter the duty now
amounts to 50 per cent of the sugar value
in bond. This is held to be injustice
as automobiles, which are classed as lux
uries are subject to a duty of only 40 per
cent.
AS 22S4, ,791 of 3,1s5.7S9 tons which were
used last year were imported, the mer-
chants point out the Importance OF Sc
curing a considerable reduction of the
cost of foodstuffs by the removal of this
particular duty. They estimate that such
a step would reduce the cost of granulated
sugar two cents a pound.

hour, however, and faced the 500 yd

will do or die; and none of them
died. While the score is not as high
as might be desired, there is nothing
demoralizing about it, and it is ex-
pected TO improve it right along:
