INDOOR WORK THIS WEEK.
Georgetown Ball Tossers Will Start
Annual Practice.

Wednesday afternoon of this week the
battery candidates and many Of those
intending to try for other positions on
the Georgetown University base ball team
will start indoor practice in the old
North Hall at the college. 1t is believed
that about dozen will get into action
at the initial workout, of whom the
majority will be pitchers. The practice
will be in charge Of Coach 4rillo and
Capt. Murphy, and it is also likely that
Doc White will be able to Get around
to give the youngsters few timely sug-
gestions.
Balzer, Wymard and O'Connor comprise
the list of old twirlers who will be in
evidence, while Byrd. Gray, Dilkes, Meme
fee and Flannery are the more prominent
of the new men slated to be on hand.
Menefee will also do some catching work,
in which position he is more likely to
make good, as Duffy. the veteran back
stop, will not be able to take part in
a majority Of the contests this season.
Sitterding and Feenan will also do some
catching with the big glove, although
il is more likely that both will be used
in the intield. Other candidates for the
place behind the bat are Tom Smith
and Barricello. both being we'll known
athletes at the school. This will be their
trst appearance on base ball squad.

International Track Meet.

NEW YORK. February Leon NJ.
Little, manager of the Harvard track
team, who was in New York recently,
said that thus far no action has been
taken by Harvard looking forward to an
International meet with Oxford, Cam
bridge. Harvard and Yale as contestants.
He said that most Of the Harvard men
might we'll enjoy trip to the other side.
but no steps had been taken to bring 1t
about.
Last year attempts were made to ar
range meet. but in the spring they fell
through, chiefly because there was no
eagerness on the part Of the British uni
versities to take part in the games.
Since then. however. with the election of
l.. c. Hull. Rhodes scholar. as presi-
dent. there has been a change in that at
titude. This was taken to mean A good
chance Of international meet in 1910. and
Yale was reported last fall as intending
to work up sentiment In favor OF 1t.

CHAPTER XVI.

The two men who stood talking ear
nestly in corner OF the Duchess Of Me-
chester's drawing room excited COM
ment both on account of the length OF
their conversation and from the mere
fact that they were carrying on an ami
mated discussion. And yet. although one
was Baron de Mayo, French ambassador
to London. and the other was the Mar
auis of Ellingham. secretary for foreign
affairs, the interests of their respective
countries never once engaged their at
tention. So far as the baron was con-
cerned, their conversation was pure Cos
sip, and that it had any further signih-
canoe for his companion was a fact of
which he was entirely ignorant.

taking into account the enormous sums

NEW YORK, February 5. 1910.
The bonded debt of the city Of New
York is larger than that of the United
States. and is increasing rapidly every
year, while the debt of the federal gov
eminent is gradually decreasing. The
latter. on the LIST of January. 1910. was

on that date was 1916 Oo5, 73s IS. Increased

crease Of $50, III ,5e6 in three years.

1t is difficult to carry the comparison
any farther because of the difference in
keeping the accounts. and some Of the
largest expenditures Of the city of New
York are not duplicated In the budget OF
the city Of Chicago. but are charged
against the county, the park commission

Heavy Subway Traffic.

New York undoubtedly has the finest
traffic arrangements in the world, but
they have got to be duplicated very soon
to meet the demands upon them. You
can Judge something Of the situation by
the following figures, which show the
increase in the number Of passengers car
ried In the twenty-seven miles of subway
which were opened to traffic October -

Years Passenger Traffic.

During the last year the total number
of passengers carried by the various
transportation routes in Greater New
York, excluding steam railroads on Staten
Island and all the passengers holding
transfers, was 1,4O2. .354, OF which the
elevated roads carried, 4l5, 3S7, O73, the
subways 80 g., 49S and the surface cars
ia, 461. 49,; passengers.
According to the report of the public
service commission. 1t appears that 50
per cent of the people in Greater New
York dropped nickeis into the ticket boxes
of the different transportation lines every
day Sundays included, during the last
year; that is. the number of fares col
lected daily was equivalent to 50 per
cent of the population. OF course, this
is only a figure of speech. We might
say that 40 per cent Of the population
made two trips, and come nearer the
actual truth: but 1t was SO thoroughly
demonstrated that the present facilities
are unequal to the demands upon them
that the public service commission and
the municipal officials are determined to
duplicate the subways as soon as pos
sible. The growth of the population dur
ing the last five years has been unpre-
cedented and the transportation facilities
have not been increased in anything Ike
the same proportion and before a new
subway can be built and placed in opera
ton it is estimated that at least 250.-
coo will be added to the daily average
of passengers.
The policy adopted by New York city
few years ago was government owner
ship of transportation lines, to be leased
for term of years at Az per cent upon
the actual cost Of construction to private
operating companies. At the end Of the
thirty years the municipality becomes
the owner of the entire property. includ-
ing improvements. The bonds issued to
pay for construction will then have been
paid off and the municipality will be in
possession Of the principal transportation
plan the city is compelled to borrow
money to pay for new lines, and the con-
stitution of the state limits its borrowing
capacity to 10 per cent of the assessed
valuation of real estate subject TO taxa

Big Assessment Increase.

The assessors in making up the list for
the present year have increased the total
assessment upon real estate for the city
of Greater New York from SO, 332, III, 9O4
to $500, ls7,322 being an increase Of
s267 .OO9,a1 hich. according to the CAL
culations of the mayor and the controller,
will permit the municipality to borrow
the sum of S71,5OOOOO in addition to its
outstanding bonded indebtedness Of S946,
Cos, 72S
These facts are very interesting for sew
eral reasons. In the first place, New York
has the largest debt Of any city In the
world, and in the second place it Is the
most expensive city to run In the world.
It's administration costs more than that
of London or Paris and more than any of
the states of the Union. But at the same
time this enormous Indebtedness repre-
sents public improvements which had to
be made and which are Of permanent
value.
During the six years of the administra-
ton of Mayor Mcclellan the debt Of New
York city increased from $376O15346,
January l, 1904, to $685. COS, $50, January
