President Vrecland of the Metro politan Street Railway company of Now York has caused to be posted in the bum, stubles and power houses of the system In Manhattan, a notice to all employes, announcing the estab lishment of a pension system for tin; superannuated employes of the coni' pany. This, says Mr. Vrecland, Is the first pension system ever established fcr street railway employes and Is the final step In the plan inaugurated by him when he took charge of the Met ropolitan for steadying and elevating the stains of Its 13,000 employes. Tho pension system will go Into effect on or before July I, and Is for the benefit of the superannuated em ployes whose annuel maximum wages have not exceeded $1.2u0 a year, and It provides for voluntary and Involun tary retirement of all employes so In cluded, between the ages of G5 and 7b, after 25 years service in the conv pany or any of its constituent com panion. F.mployes benefited by tha system will be of two classes: First employes wno nave attained the ase of 70 years who have been continuous ly In service fur 25 years or more, pre ceding such ditto of maturity, and sec ond, all employes from (15 to C9 years of age who have been 25 years or more In such service who. In the opinion of tho trustees of pension, have be- como physically disqualified. The piMtslcn nllowanco to such re tired employes shall be upon the fol lowing basis: A If service has been continuous for 35 years or more, 40 per cent of the average annual wages for the 10 previous years. R If service has been continuous for 30 years 30 per cent of the average annual wages for the 10 previous years. C If service hns been continuous for 25 years 25 per cent of the average annual wa.;cs for the 10 previous years. The fund from which payments will he made will be appropriated each year by the company and employes will not be required (o contribute to It. Increasing Wheat Exports.

A mail just retvlved In Washington from the Philippines shows that tho Insurgent le aders are resorting to all kinds of deceptions and subterfuges to retain control. One Insurgent com mander recently Issued a proclama tion saying: "Now is the time to strike a derisive blow for Filipino Independ ence," and sibling: "The United States Is in the midst of a bloody civil war. The coal miners of Pennsylvania have rtsrn neaiust the government and at Chlrano e great battle was fought In which Minn regular soldiers were killed. An army of antl-iniM'r!allets Is besieging Washington. Roosevelt will be d'-,,!,.;,.,! ami Dr. Lryan proclaimed president by tho Domorrats on the 4th of March next." Within u month, It was asserted. Russia would deelaie war against the United States and a Russian fleet that already had arrived at Cavlte would sink nil the American ships, even as llewey had destroyed the armada or the Spanish in 1S:8. ho tfen II the outlook in their Im mediate vlclnily should appear to be almost hopeless, the letter declared, It always must lie remembered that the iiiHur-onia were winning great victor ies In other places, so no one should be discouraged. Prince Visited 13 States. Prince Henry of Prussia has com pleted hiB tour and is once more in New York. He was absent fnuii the city for nine days duili: which tune his special train was with in the territory of 13 states and lo'gged a total distance of 4,358 miles. He was greatly pleas"d with bis trip and through his aide, Captuln Von Mueller, Issued a stutement expressing his sat isfaction at the opportunity which came to him and his gratification at the cordiality with which he was re ceived throughout the country. The prince had originally Intended to return to the Hohenzollern, but the discovery of a case of scarlet fever In the crew changed his plans. l!e did not fear Infection himself, but decided in view of the fact that he Is to meet a largo number of persons during the four remaining days of hl.s stay In the United States, that It would be better to go to a hotel. His flag will not be removed from the Ho henzollern, until tho steamship Puet srhlund upon which he returns home conies alongside of 34th street pier and is ready to receive him. He will then board the Deutsehland himself, remain on her and use her as his flagship. German Paper Pleased. Some of the daily newspapers In Berlin have begun summing up Prince Henry's trip to the United States. Their tone is one of complete satis faction. They declare the prince's trip was never intended to have any specific political alms, but merely pur posed to bring about an Improvement In the popular feeing In both coun tries. The Huersen Zeltung admits that It3 most sanguine expectations have been j exceeded by the occurrences of tho prince's trip and says the heartrelt cordiality displayed by the Americans was greater than could have been ex pected. Tho National Zeltung saya that Prince Henry and the Americans have learned to understand and appreciate each other, and that the result at tained Is out of the commn. It Is a not to be forgotten Incident, says this paper, in the busy rush of modern life. Holds Turkey Responsible, The American legation have present ed to the porte the second note refer ring to the capture of Miss Stone. in mis note u is pointed out that as Miss Stone was captured and the ran som paid and the prisoners delivered In Turkey the brigands must be within the Turkish frontier and should there fore be captured. The note denies that the authorities were ever requested to lessen their vigilance on the frontier and assert that only the movements of the troops In the Interior were interfered with The first note presented to the porte by the United States legation at Con stantinople in the matter of Miss Stone's capture by brigands demanded the punishment of the guilty parties. Tho porte in replying, repudiated re sponsibility and denied all liability. Frightful Railroad Wreck. A broken rail caused a frightful wreck on the Southern Pacific railroad near Maxnn station, 25 miles west of Sanderson, at 3 o'clock Friday morning. Fifteen people were killed outright and 28 were more or less Injured. All the passengers were asleep and the shock that followed was the first Intimation they had of the danger. The train was going at such a rate of speed that tho tender and engine landed u feet from where they left the rails. Tho cars behind piled tin against tho engine, caught fire and all were consumed except the sleepers. All tho injured In the roaches Just behind the express and baggage cars were cremated. The people In ttie sleepers were saved with the assist ance of the uninjured passengers. Early Opening of Navigation. The earliest cpening of navigation on the lakes since the straits of Mack inaw became a factor In tho commerce of the country, seems to be at hand. Resumption of business by April 1 on all the upper lakes, two weeks earlier than usual. Is now predicted by ves sel owners. From all points reports indicate less Ice than ever before at the corresponding period of the year. There are only 16 inches or Ice In the Btraits and even less than that In Mud lake, the last place In the Soo passage to thaw out. At Sault Ste Marie, the channel Is open and the ferries are being put in commission. Steamer Sunk In Collision. The American Red Star Line steam er Waesland, commanded by Capt. At feld, from Liverpool, March 5, for Philadelphia, and the Hrltlsh Steam ship Harroonides, Captain Pentln, from Fara, February 13, for Liverpool, met in collision last night off Holyhead, Wales. The Waesland sank. Her passengers and crew were saved.. The loss of the Waesland was due to the dense fog which enveloped the Irish channel during the entire day, seriously delaying all vessels. Mr. Bryan Questioned. William Jennings Bryan, who lect ured in Scranton, Ta., Friday night, was asked whom he considered a Democratic presidential possibility. Ho said: "No one can tell in advance what the Ismics will be, or what will bo their relative importance. It ought to be safe to predict that democratic principles will he applied to the Is sues and it ought to be that the plat form should be written by those whose fidelity to those principles Is not sub ject to suspicion."

TIONESTA. 1A., WEDNESDAY. MAKCII 12. 1902 CUBAN RECIPROCITY. President Adheres to Vi ws Ex pressed In His Message. thinks Promises Were Made to Cu tan Delegates In Washington Pre vious to Adoption of Piatt Amend ment to Their Constitution Views of Senator Allison. Washington, March 11. Chairman Payne of the ways and means com mittee and Representative Grosvenor, also of that committee, were among tho president's callers Monday. Al though both maintained great reserve as to their calls It was known that tho Cuban reciprocity situation was discussed. It was stated that no special message was at present In contemplation and that the president continued to maintain the position for reciprocity he had taken In his annual message To some of his other congressional visiters who talked with him yester day regarding reciprocity, the presi dent said that there was difficulty In determining just what promises or representations were made to the Cuban delegates when they visited Washington, last summer previous to tho adoption of the Piatt amendment as a part of the Cuban constitution. There was no record of any promise, but the understanding seemed to be that reciprocity arrangements were to be made with Cuba, of a nature which would give the Island's products an advantage In the markets of the United States. In the course of the cussion It Is understood Senator Alli son remarked that more Importance had been given to the subject than was warranted; thut the proposed 20 per cent reduction to be granted to Cuba would not be of material ad vantage to the planters of the Island nor would such a reduction of duty on Cuban sugar affect In any material way the beet sugar Interests of this country. The president expressed deslro to secure harmony and some of the senators who saw him said they believed that also was the desire of the republicans in congress. DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Decision of Supreme Court Against Anti-Trust Laws of Several States. Washington, March 11. Justice Har lan delivered the opinion in tho case of Connelly against Union Sewer Pipe company, In the course of which he said: "If conciliations of capital, skill or acts, In respect of the sale and pur chase of goods, merchandise or com modities, whereby the persons, firms, corporations or associations forming Btich combinations may control or es tablish, in their discretion, the prices of such goods, merchandise or com modities, are hurtful to the public in terests and should be suppressed, It Is impossible to perceive why like com bines in respect of agricultural pro ducts and livestock are not equally hurtful. Tnder what rule of permissible classification can such legislation be sustained as consistent with the equal protection of the laws? It is so mani festly a denial of the equal protection of the laws that extended argument to establish the position would seem to be unnecessary." The decision of the court In effect declares unconstitutional the anti trust laws of Georgia, Illinois, In diana, Ixiulslana, Michigan, Mississip pi, Montana, Nebraska, North Caro lina. South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin. In each of these states there is an exemption In favor of live stock and ncricultural products In the hnnds of the raiser or producer, or of labor organizations. Under the rul ings of the court, an anti-trust law, to he constitutional, must apply Indis criminately lo all combinations with no exemptions or exceptions what ever. Reply to Charges. New Vork, March 11. The board or managers of tho Manhattan Stato hospital yesterday made public Its re ply to the charges preferred against It by Governor Udell. In closing tho answer says: "The Manhattan State hospital board does not claim that the law, nor the board's fulfillment of It, has been free from Imperfections, but it does deny with emphasis, and with sense of uiflcial injury, the charges made by Governor Odell both In gen eral and in particular."

The news came too late to affect business on the stock exchange, but excited curb dealings quickly fol lowed the closing, in which South Ar rlcars slumped heavily.
