tShe Vanderbilt Million.
The schedule of the property of the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt Bled in
court last week is a practical illustra-
tion of the earning power of money In-
vested not in speculative deals but
in securities of an assured earning
power. The total value of the propsr-
ty is about $7J000000. of which $52-
999867 was invested almost exclusively
in railroad stocks and bonds while the
remainder a little more than $20000-
000 was placed In real estate which
did not yield Mr. Vanderbilt a large
income as much of this property con-
sisted of his own sumptuous resi-
dences. The bond and stock invest-
ments most of the itema in the list
having a market value higher than par
brought In interest and dividends a
little leas than 11750000 Income an-
nually or about 3.28 per cent. Consid-
ering Mr. Vanderbilt'8 opportunities
for making investments and that b?
never took risks the New York Times
argues that a return of 3 per cent
is the most an Investor who looks to
the security of his principal can ex-
pect and thst anything above 4 pe-
cent means a risk. Even at this small
percentage however. Mr. Vanderbilt
waa enjoying an assured Income of
nearly two millions a year. The sore-
ness of the Income must have carried a
sense of comfort and a freedom from
apprehension ss to the future many
others would like to enjoy.
Severe Lahje and Ocean Storm
The storma by sea and land of the
late autumn and the beginning of win-
ter have been unusual in their violence
and in the sweep of their effects.
Ocean navigation has been disturbed
to an unnatural degree even for the
time of year. The biggeat and fastest
ateamers have been buffeted by ad-
verse winds and waves and come of
the stancheat vessels have been in
serious danger. There has been an un-
usual number of disasters on the At-
lantic coast with considerable loss of
life. The tempests on the lakes have
been violent and disastrous to vessel
property. In some wrecks the crews
and passengers were lost. In fact the
entlrcseason of navigation on the lakes
kaa been remark
for th" number of
persons drowned In ablpwrecka
The
loss of life is greater by 20 per cent
than during any recant previous year.

NATIONS IN WAR
Of nations engaged in wars of the
first magnitude France has been both a
gainer and a loser In the matter of In-
demnities. Having by the treaty of
Presburg in 1805 mulcted Austria of
18000000 and 28.000 square miles of
territory she was in 1814 compelled to
satisfy the allied powers by a mone-
tary compensation of $140000000 and
to suffer the partition of the greaer
part of her colonial possession as
well as the severe contraction of her
European boundaries. Again. In 1870.
after her war with Germany she was
enabled to display her marvelous fi-
nancial resources by the speedy pay-
ment of the huge sum of. $1250000000.
in addition to the loss of 5.668 square
miles of territory. In which wtre in-
cluded several important strategic
points on her own frontier. As a re-
sult of a similar trial of strength with
Prussia. Austria in 1866. was com-
pelled to pay $30000000 leas half that
amount for the involuntary cession of
several important duchies that were to
be incorporated into a new German
confederation in which Austria was to
hold no position or influence. As the
price of defeat in her war with Russia
in 1878 Turkey agreed to pay $200-
000000 In installments to recede the
province of Bessarabia of which Rus-
sia had been deprived at the termina-
tion of the Crimean war and to hand
over to the conqueror a large territory
in the Caucasus . In addition she was
Balkan states and Incidentally by
way of commission for their good of-
fices at the congress of Berlin to pre-
sent England with Cyprus and Austria
with Bosnia and Herzgovina. In 1897
however Turkey forced Greece to pay

Do you want to make a million dol-
lars or ten millions? Then invent
some practicable and not too costly
a way to get a ship across the Atlantic
twelve hours quicker and the thing
is as good as done. The question of
speed has long occupied the mlnda of
the directors of the great companies
but the ocean race from New York to
Liverpool Is not a question of speed
absolute but of speed relative to ex-
penses. Railway com panles some-
times attain a maximum speed that
they do not care to maintain because
it la not a commercial rpeed. And it ;
ia so with steamships. The quickest .'
German steamers do not maintain
their high speed all the year round.
The Cunard and White Star companies j
keep up their regular service In win-
Mr as well as in summer. Their
steamers sail regularly at a fixed hour j
and arrive at their destination with j
great regularity. The steamers of
one of these lines generally arrive in j
New York at about 8 o'clock in the !
morning and acceleration of speed to
be of value would necessitate arrival j
on the previous evening lu time to
land passengers. The voyage would
VOTING MACHINES.

Kb on Id be BeaMdla
After two trials the people of Buffalo
rill never voluntarily dispense with
the voting machine. It has given
much satisfaction. By using It we
have secured a better method of vot-
ing than we bad ever before and what
is most important a quick and trust-
worthy conn;. But those who favor
permanent employment of the machine
and would encourage lta Introduction
in other parts of th state and the
country. In which it has not been
adopted yet ought not to ignore or
conceal any real defect or mistake In
its use. The manner In which the
voting for presidential electors was
done here by means of the machine
was unquestionably illegal and under
different circumstances might have led
to serious complications says the I
Buffalo Enquirer. We do not refer to
the tact that there was no possibility
for ordinary "splitting" of the elec-
toral candidates nominated by different
parties in the way In which state and
local tickets are split. There was a
more serious defect not in the ma- 1
rhiae Itself but la the arrangement
made for lta use. The people voted

a war Indemnity of $17600000 and to
submit to a readjustment of the fron-
tier In the victors favor. The penal-
ties that Bouth American countries
have exacted from one another In the
century are too numerous to mention
separately but chief among them was
the case of Chile and Peru in IMS by
which the latter country lest the valu-
able province of Tarapscs was practi-
cally looted from end to end sad
would probably have been irretriev-
ably ruined but for the protecting am
of the United States. The recent war
between China and Japan which flrst
proved the valor and discipline of the
Mikado's forces terminated In a bitter
disappointment for the victor through
the action of the power in refusing
her a foothold on the continent of
Asia. Still aa the revised treaty of
Shlmonoseki yielded to Japan $16000.-
000 and 10.000 square miles of new pos-
sessions In the islands of Forme and
the Pescadores it will be seen that
she waa not robbed entirely of the
fruits of victory. Coming to the war
indemnities obtained by the United
States excluding ber peace treaties
with England in the two cases where
such have been exacted unlike the
previous instances she not only re-
linquished a financial penalty but paid
oer to the vanqulahed nation sums
of money as compensation for enforced
cession of territory that remained in
dispute or unconquered. These terri-
torial Indemnities however were la
both cases heavy In that of Mexico
amounting in all to over 1.240.000
square miles certainly the largest ter-
ritorial indemnity of recent times; and
In the case of Spain 143.000 square
