correspondent Of the New York Graphic
says that Mr.. Macdonald, of London, has
invented new type-setting machine which
he is now engaged in perfecting. He sets up
several columns of the Times daily The
difficulty as in all these machines is in the
distributing and Mr.. Macdonald gets over
this by not distributing at all. In the Times
office, which is little world in itself, there is
a type foundry, and every morning after the
type set up by these machines has been used,
it is thrown into the melting pot and recast,
and is already to be used again at night"

powers, was not the fault of the Radical ma
Jority They had the will to do anything, and
were only thwarted by the heroic stand taken
by the Democratic minority PHtsJaug Post.

1t was Petroleum, Not Kerosene, that
Caused the Loss of the City OF Waco.
An investigation proves that the Waco
had no kerosene aboard. She had 300 cans
refined petroleum slowed on the upper deck
part aft, part forward, distant 100 feet from
any fire. No other intlammable freight was
aboard.
Richard j. Holmes, stevedore, testified
that he loaded the City Of Waco. There
was some refined petroleum in the cargo.
1t was contained in tin cases packed in
boxes. He did not know how they were
marked or the exact number of cases, but
but was informed there were 300. The oil
was slowed forward on the upper deck.
the captain said he would shift some kero.
sene oil to the extreme end in order to
trim ship" A part of this oil was stored
forward abaft the windlass on the main
deck. The oil was at least 100 feet from
any fire; none Of it was below tine main
deck. There was not q barrel of
kerosene on board, and all the cargo of the
vessel was properly slowed before she went
to sea. He knew of nothing infammable
in the cargo except the petroleum; less than
halt Of the oil remained on the dock till tho
ship was otherwise loaded, when the cap
tain said he would put it aft to trim ship.

Thomas Rathford, foreman for Mr..
Holmes, testified that some refined
petroleum or kerosene oil was shipped on
the vessel. He did not know how it was
marked. 1t was in tin cases and wooden
boxes. A part was slowed on the forward
main deck, abaft the windlsss; the rest was
slowed on the main deck abaft the steer.
age. The whole was slowed before the
ship went to sea- The witness thought there
were about two hundred and fifty cases of
this oil or petroleum. There was no oil in
barrels, and he knew of no other infam-
mable matter in the cargo. After the oil
was slowed it was more than one hundred
feet from any fire, both forward and aft 1t

This closed the examination, so far as
