WILL GET MORE PAY.
EASTERN RAILROADS TO GIVE THEIR EMPLoYEs AN IN
 CREASE IN WAGES.
WILL COST $zOOO,Ooo A YEAR
After a Thorough investigation the Railroads Discovered that the meh Were Paying il Per Cent More TOT Livinq Expenses Than Formerly

New York, April 2.-The increase in the wages of employees of the Penn sylvania and New York, New Haven and Hartford railroads will be follow ed shortly by liberal concessions on the part of the New York Central anu Erie railroads. The concessions py the New York Central along will add approximately s7OO0,000 to the an nual pay roll of that company
 "We are not through with our neso- tiations with our employees, salu President Wm. c. Brown of the Gen tral "so we can not definitely an nounce any new salary schedule now' But from careful estimates the in- creases in the wages of all classes Of employees on the system from Chicago to the seaboard, including Boston, VIII be about $7,000,0O0."
 The officials of the New York Cen tral have made q careful study or the conditions under which their em- ployes live. For months agents Of the company have studied the cost oi staple food products in the largest cities along the road and made comparison of the rents to-day and ten years ago. The company has found that the cost of living has in- creased approximately Il per cent Tn the past few years. Some cities showed a little above that figure, while others were slightly below It.
 The Central recently offered to in crease wages East of Buffalo by $3,- 100000. This offer has not yet been accepted by the labor unions. Be ginning April 1 the wages of the yardmen will be raised three cents an hour in accordance with the rate agreed upon by the Western roads at Chicago conference. Assistant Gen eral Manager Crowley held confer ence with the telegraph operators Of the Central at the Central station The conferences will be continued un' til a settlement is arrived at In or der to do this the salary of every operator along the road must be con sidered individually. The claims of the conductors and trainmen will then be taken up again along with those of the engineers and firemen and other employees.
 While the Er.e railroad has not an. nouneed it's attitude towards the de. mands of its employees for more money, l. s. Stewart, vice-president of the road, told a reporter that conces- sions would no doubt be made

TO USE AlRsHlPs AS CAVALRY
Military Experts Talk of the Future of
 Dirigibie Balloons.

Japan has the intention. according 10 rumor, of buying two army airships in France to be models, 1t is said, for building fleet of airships in Japan. lnquiring at the Japanese embassy and airship builders, elicited no infor nation
 Regarding the employment of air ships Jn military campaign, however, I had interesting conversations. M. Julliot, one of the leading constructive experts and chief engineer at Messrs Lebaudy's aerostatic establishment al Moissan, said
 Airships will prove invaluable as scouts. They can carry, with the necessary precautions. from 1000 tc 1,200 pounds of explosives. A single airship equipped for military opera lions would prove as effective as ab army of 50.O00 men. They womb cause an enormous saving in war ma terial. In peace the airship may ex plore new countries where locomotiop Is difficult or dangerous"
 NJ 9apferer, at present specially ea eaged on behalf of M. Henri Deutsch de la Meurthe in the study Of airships when asked regarding their practical military use said;
 Tn my opinion airships are destined to take the place of cavalry. Whether they will ever be used to drop ex plosives do not know. It Is certain at all events, that an entirely new scheme of constructing forts would have to be invented to guard againsl attacks from the air

colleagues that the Democrats will participate in the executive sessions of the committee, but only on the un- derstandIng that the Democrats shall be free to announce in the public meet ings the votes and their contentious that take place during the private sit tings
 The executive sessions have not been very harmonious, especially the one of Saturday last, when the ques- ton of compelling Secretary Ballin- ger to testify as the first witness for the defense" was under considera- ton. Following this session the Democrats announced that, with the exception of Senator Purcell of South Dakota, they had voted in favor of compelling the secretary of the in terior to appear at once. Representa- tive Madison of Kansas, insurgent. voted with the Democrats.
 Whether MT. Madison will vote with tke Democratic members when the verdict comes to be taken is a question. His course in the examina- tion of witnesses has given slight in tlmation of his position.
 Senator Purcell voted with the Re publicans last Saturday simply be- cause, as lawyer, he declared the defense" should have the right to call it's witnesses at it's pleasure, the same priwilege having been granted to the prosecution"
 Elmer E. Todd. United States dis trict attorney at Seattle Wash. was the first witness called on. MT Todd contradicted certain statements made by H. l.. Jones, special agent, when he was testifying for Louis R. Glavis The witness said Jones statement that he had advised against criminal action in the Alaska cases because Judge Hanford was constitutionally opposed to land fraud trials general ly," was absolutely false.
 Representative Madison of Kansas acted as peacemaker with some sue cess when row started between Sem ator Nelson and Mir Brandeis. He said he believed the chairman's remark was made hastily and he did not sym pathize with it At the same time, he continued 1t must be understood that the chairman spoke as an indi- yidual and did not represent the opin- ion of the committee
 We are standing before the coun- try in this inquiry" continued Mir Madison, "and if anybody is biased or impartial it is being written by the newspaper men Every member of the committee must stand upon his record What the chairman says is his personal view except when he makes an announcement as the re suit of vote"
 Mir Brandeis said that in view of Mir Madison's statement he was will ing to allow the record to stand.

PREDICTS 4 B|G WAR.
FRENCH NAVAL OFFICER TALKS OF A CONFLICT BETWEEN
 AMERICA AND JAPAN.
WOULD EMBROlL ALL EUROPE
Memoirs of Vice Admiral Fournier Just Issued, Cause Much Comment In French Diplomatic circles--Eng land to Help Japan.

Paris, April 2.--The memoirs of Vice Admiral Fournier. commander of the Mediterranean squadron of the French navy. in which he discusses particularly the possibility of war between the United States and Japan and the resultant danger of dragging all Euro ye into terrific conflict, were issued in book form. The memoirs have caused much comment in politi cal and diplomatic circles.
 Admiral Fournier accords the star role on the stage of international politics to the German Emperor, not only In Europe, says the writer, where the emperor is trying desperately to break the league of powers against him, but also indirectly as an in fiuential factor in the relations be- tween the United States end Japan.
 The admiral says that Japans great fear is that the friendly relations be- tween the United States and China win culminate in an out and out alli- ancs and thus, in event of war. the United States would have base of ODtldtlpno anu Stnttdi ItoOuiNtb vast iy superior to the Philippines. Japans increased armaments, therefore, are explainable. not as a menace to Russia. but in preparation to combat. before 1t is too late. the peril contain ed in Americas policies.
 Admiral Fournier believes that the naval strength of the United States will one day not only exceed that of Japan, but probably will equal that of Great Britain, in spite of the effort of England to preserve her supremacy of the seas. and Japan's inferiority would oblige her ally. England, to come to her aid in the event of con fict with the United States.
 In case of hostile coalition of the United States with the triple alliance the admiral believes. France would be forced to supplement the forces of England, Japan and Russia. He douhts, however, that the German Elm peror, although devoured by de sire to smash the league and adopting diplomacy as interruptions as tha; of the Iron Chancellor" would enter on the perilous venture of such war. which would offer little chance of vic tory on sea or land.
