New Tork Central Makes Enormous
4 Expenditures.
NEW TORK. Aug. 31.-The Tribune
today prints the following;:
The construction of a fleet of large
ocean steamers for carrying both
freight and paasenKVrs. bv the New
Tork Central Railroad, has been under
discussion of late. This Improvement
lias Deen projected In connection with
the Improvements of the terminal at
Weehawken, and the expenditure of
Between 3,oo,ooo and J4,000.0 in en
Urging the yards there, building new
piers and tracks and a general Increase
or freight capacity.
Some time ago the New Tork Central
Increased Its capital stock by 115.000.000
and this money was spent in buying
new roiling stock, it has Just been
stated by a prominent railroad official
that even this enormous expenditure for
eiutpn-ent had been insufficient, and
that another $1,000,000 would now have
to be added to it for engines. The road
has ot enough engines and cars to
Dandle the enormous traffic offered.
The decision to expend between JS,
00.000 and $4,000,000 en theWeehawken
terminal Is only one Item of the ex
traordinary expenditures. Other mil
lions have been spent In bridge, struc
tural steel. Improved grades, tracks and
stations. It is this Increase In traffic
r-nparlty and the decision to recon
struct the Weehawken terminal that
has suggested the building of a line of
steamers for inter-oceanlc freight and
passenger traffic.
The increasing demand for American
real In European markets. It Is believed,
may have some bearing on the project.
The Weehawken terminal now has a
large coal yard belonging to the New
York. Ontario & Western, and In the
work of reconstruction the capacity of
the yard will be Increased and facilities
for coal export provided. However,
owing to the absence from the city of
nearly all of the directors of the New
York Central, there have been no board
meetings for some time and the matter
.will probably not come before the board
this fall.

MEMORIAL MONUMENT.
For the American and British Dead
In the Samoan Islands.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 31.-The navy
department has received an Interesting
letter from Commander B. F. Tilley,
commanding the United States naval
station at Tutuila, describing the prom
ising conditions in the American section
of the Samoan islands recounting the
impressive ceremonies attending the
unveiling of a monument to the Amerl
can and English dead who feIMn the
shore engagement mere in July 1S99.
Of the conditions Commander Tilley
says:
I am glad to report that everything
connected with the new government
is progressing in a most iwtisfactary
manner In .ill the Islands. The natives
show much Interest in the new methods
of government and they are striving to
learn and comply with my wishes. The
general condition of the people could
not be more satisfactory. They are
quiet everywhere and are Improving
their roads, cleaning up their villages
and surroundings and planting their
gardens and plantations. Prosperity
for the islands seems fully assured.
'The enrollment of a force of Samo-
ans for service in the islands has done
away with the necessity of having an
armed force of our own on shore, and
will win the natives to loyalty and al
legiance to the government of the
United States. During the past month I
have visited all parts of the islands and
have found everything in a very sat
isfactory state."
Regarding the monument In question
Commander Tilley says the unveiling
took place at Mulinuu In Apia on July
U. The officers and men contributed
liberally for the expense of purchasing
the memorial stone, and officers and
men of several British ships likewise
contributed. The stone, which is large
and imposing weighing twenty-two
tons, was obtained at Sydney. It was
brought to Apia by H. S. Pyllades,
Commander Tupper, and put in place
by the officers and men of . that ship.
The monument Is situated In a lot not
far from the ocean, commanding a
beautiful view. The land has be-n glv
en lr. fee to the British and United
States governments. A handsome iron
fence with stone foundation surrounds
the plot.
It Is a part of the conditions of the
deed that the German government shall
cause the prospect to be kept spen to
me sea. no building of anv kind shall
be erected between the lot and the
ocean. The land is given in lieu of
ground where the bodies of the men
were originally Interred. Commander
rilley has sanctioned the disinterment
of the bodies of our men and similar
action was taken by Commander Tud-
per. The lot is situated not far from
the dwelling house of the governor.
Commanders Tilley and Tuptier had
requested Governor Soif, representing
ine iierman government, to unveil the
monument. The governor made short
addresses, then drew aside the Amerl
can and English flags, lisclosinsr the
memorial stone to view. The governor
ana otners naa brought numerous
wreaths of flowers and placed them on
the monument. Among these wreaths
was one from Mataafa with a short
note.
Commander Tilley says:
"I feel confident that It wfll he irrati
fylng to the department and to alt the
mends of the officers and men to whom
this memorial is erected to know that
everything possible has been done to
show respect to their memory. The
ceremony was attended by all the Ger
man officers and by nearly every res!
dent of Apia."
In his address before, th linvo41lnfl'

government that the memorial, should

CLEAN-CUT SMASHING MILL.
Coibett-McCoy Fight Was a One-Sided
Affair After First Round.
NEW TORK, Aug. SI. The spectacle
In the ring of the Twentieth Century
Club In Madison Square Garden lnt
night, when J. J. Corbett, former cham
pion lighter of the world, and Kid Mc
Coy met to fight for a shuns of the gate
receipts which, according to Jim Ken
nedy, the maiwr of the club, amount
ed to $75,000 and were larger by thous
ands that the receipts at any other
prlte ring contest ever hold, was a
clean-cut smashing mill.
There vers two stages to the light.
One of them was the first round In
which McCoy was the aggressor and in
which he1 seemed to hold Corbett safe,
outpointing and outfighting him from
gong to gong. Thereafter there was
nothing to It at all. In the second
round Corbett. Instead of playing a
waiting game, became the aggressor
and soon had McCoy guessing as to
what would happen next.
It was not the blow on the Jaw that
affected McCoy. The Unly punches laid
him low. Always susceptible to a blow
in any part of the anatomy, McCoy has
been peculiarly susceptible to body
blows.
At the ring side there were men from
Chicago and Cincinnati, San Francisco
and Denver; St. Louis and Salt Lake
City; Buffalo and Atlanta; Canada be
ing well represented.
McCoy's defeat remove him from the
ranks of heavy weights who are am
bitious to wrestle the title champion
form Jim Jeffries.
Corbett came out of the ring without
a mark or scratch or bruise on him.
McCoy's face was puffed and swollen
and his right eye was discolored. But
otherwise he seemed to be none the
worse for his battle.
Betting on the light was very tame.
It was expected that the heavy wagers
would be placed at the ringside, but the
McCoy money did not materialise. Cor
bett was a pronounced favorite from
the start. Everybody seemed to want
the Corbett end.
ENGLAND FOLLOWS AMERICA.
Drastic Law Passed for Prevention of
Accidents on Railways.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 31. Informa
tion has been received by the Inter
state Commerce Commission that on
July 30 of the present year the Brit
ish act for the better prevention of ac
cidents on railways received the as
sent of the queen and became a law.
The board of trade, one of the de
partments of the governor, Is Invested
with extensive power and Is charged
with the earning out of the provisions
of the safety appliance law. More au
thority is given the board of trade In
this respect than the United States sta
tute gives the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and In many respects the
Knglish law Is considered much more
drastic than ours.
If after a reasonable time the rail
way companies of Great Britain fail to
obviated the dangers by use-, of safety
appliances, the board will order the
use of such plants or appliances as it
may consider best calculated to reduce
the dancer of persons employed or the
disuse of any plant or appliances shown
to involve danger. Penalties are pro
vided for non-compliance with any rules
prescribed by the board.
The ratio ot lives lost to the num
ber, of men employed in coupling and
uncoupling cars in England Is not less
than on to three hundred. This per
centage, as Is shown by the reports
of the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, is as great as existed in this
country in lsW, where at present the
ratio has been reduced to one man
killed out of six hundred engaged In
counting and uncoupling cars.
It is believed that the action of the
United States government In the mat
ter of safety appliance has tvn
largely instrumental In bringing about
the enactment of the British law.

portation might easily have been cap
tured and cut to pieces by small Hank
ing parties.
After it was apparent that the enemy
was demoralized, the generals trusted
the transport to luck ami bent their ef
forts toward getting ahead. Only such
an emergency as existed could have
Justified such hardships as were im
posed upon the troops.
NEW YORK, Aug. 31. A dispatch to
the Tribune from london says:
Nothing is known here of the note of
the United States to the powers; but
this Is not surprising at The foreign of
fice at present is a mere forwarding
agency to transmit documents to Lord
Salisbury at his place of retirement on
the Franco-German frontier. If a for
mal communication of the purport sug'
gested by the Washington dispatches
was received in Downing street yester
day, no action of any kind could be
taken on It till the text had been de
spatched to the prime minister and con
sidered by him.
Mr. Brodertck s references to the Chi
nese question in his speech of Wednes
day have made some impression, chiefly
because tne undor secretary of foreign
affairs is one of the very few ministers
who is not now on a holiday and also
because he is believed to share Lord
Salisbury's confidence. Mr. Broderick's
words, however, were extremely vague
ana oaiy repeated that Ureat Britain is
not Inclined to be forced into accepting
the large responsibilities in China while
at the same time her majesty's govern
ment Is determined to defend British
interest. Not much can be made out
of this, though no doubt It accurately
renects toe non-committal attitude of
the British cabinet. It must be remem
bered that Mr. Broderick's speech was
primarily Intended for electioneering
purposes.

that the government will, If it can get
a reasonable opportunity, dissolve par
liament ana appeal to tne constituen
cies in the course of the autumn. With
that respect before them and with the
whole of their South African war policy
to defend, the ministers are not anxious
for the electors to Imagine that there
may be a long, difficult and costly task
before the country In eastern Asia as
well as In South Africa.
For this reason English diplomacy.
even If busy just now, tends to be un
usually unobstrusive, and appearances
of undue activity and aggressiveness
will be avoided if possible for fear of
frightening the electors, who have had
quite as much In the way of Imperialism
and a spirited foreign policy for the
last few months as they care for. At
the same time the grave character of
the Chinese outlook is not at all min
imized by well-informed nerson here.

nized that Great Britain may have to
