# NOTES DE

For the first time Wednesday of
last week came known just how ex-
tensive the car buying by railroads
had been during the year 1911, when
the total figures were presented by
the steel concerns Interested. Orders
amounted to approximately 1876, 900
cars of all kinds. These figures as
tonished all of the companies, though
many knew that estimates of 100, 900
cars had been made and were con-
sidered a trifle high.
fr mcmm mfdodod ddramcvx Xxx
Statements made in explanation of
these enormous purchases of cars
showed that up until November l the
total car buying for the year 1911
had been so far below the normal as
to make comparisons somewhat dis
concerting. But from the opening of
the November trade the orders be-
gan to come in so rapidly that by the
end of the month 10000 new cars
had been added to the books. De-
cember orders fell below and it was
supposed that the actual increase for
the month would be small.
The totals given out recently indi-
Gated that the railroads had been
purchasing new cars quickly and for
some reason were WltnnOldlng the
information from the public. 1t is
said that the railroads had placed
orders for cars for over 100000
900 for the year just closed, and the
larger orders to come are expected
to open the new year on a basis
that has seldom been equalled.
That railroad companies are pre-
pairing for an active season in new
work was further indicated by the
announcement that the orders for
rail spikes during the past few
weeks aggregated $4,000 kegs, or
sufficient to keep the spike mills
busy for the next two months or
more, while many additional orders
are pending. The purchase OF
spikes will mean more extensive re-
construction work as well as new
track laying.

WARSHIPS TO BRING
THE NAMES DEAD.
Armored Cruisers, Conveyed by Scout
Cruisers, Will Carry the Bodies.

Although definite plans of the navy
department for bringing back the bones
of the men who perished aboard the
batteShip Maine will not be announced
until word comes from the war depart
ment that there remain no more bones
to be recovered, tentative plan has
been drawn to have two armOred
cruisers conveyed by scouts bring back
the Names dead. The armOred cruis-
ers the Washington and the North
Carolina and the three scout cruisers
the Birmingham, the Chester and the
Salem may be assigned to this duty.
The suggestion that the battleship
Maine be given this assignment for
sentimental reasons was made to Sec
retary Meyer, but difficulties have been
encountered in putting this plan into
execution. The Maine is now in re-
serve at the Philadelphia navy yard,
and TO send this ship to Havana would
necessitate considerable rush work.
The suggestion that the battleships
the Florida and the Utah, the two new
est super Dreadnoughts, be selected has
the disadvantage Of keeping these YES
sells away from the fleet formation,
and the navy departments winter pro-
gram calls for keeping the battleships
as much as possible together for the
tactical exercises which Rear Admiral
Hugo Osterhaus, commander in chief.
wishes to put the feet through.

The minutest search had failed to

The Constantinople correspondent OF
the London Daily Chronicle declares
that it has now been decided to pub

not single line OF these records was
written by the sultan, who had a
strong aversion to writing even his
own name. His signet served to au-

death sentences.
