a hard-coal burner, in which case that
feature shrinks to moderate proper
tions), the powerful drivers and COM
pact cylinder, the eccentric connecting
rods and all its parts radiant with the
glitter Of polished steel or unburnished
brass or decked with appropriate YER
million or emerald green.
In all these matters the English loco
motive compares with it much as a
lawn-mower does with a New York
tire-engine. Il is an humble, awkward,
green, or monochramatic machine. Ii
has neither polish nor decoration about
it. There is no cab. The engineer and
his fireman--that is to say. the engine
driver and his stoker, as they are styled
in Esgland--perform their duties with
only such shelter as is afforded
by a board-screen in front Of
them, pierced by two round
apertures filled with stout glass, tech
nically known as spectacles." The
smoke-stack is short and thick; there
Is an unslghtiy green hump on the
back of the boiler; the cylinders
are under the front of the latter
instead of on each side before the
drivers the wheels are all large, and
the body Of the engine is perched high
above them and looks top-heavy and
dangerous.
The whole thing is rigid and stiff
looking, and to the observer who has
had to do with the external aspect of
locomotives it is unprepossessing and
unlovely. The practical American en-
gineer whistles thoughtfully as he sur
yeys it, and wonders to himself how
long it would be before he would ditch
his train if he had to run on new
western railroad with such an engine.
Where would he be on a sharp curve
or how would such running gear adapt
itself TO an uneveply -ballasted track /:

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Rcar-Ad-
miral English, who was recently in the
Congo country, has made a report to
the Navy Department in regard to the
adyisability Of establishing a CONNER
cial resort at the mouth of the Congo
river, or Of securing limited district for
depot and "factorial establishment "
for American citizens in that region.
He says that the investigation made
by Commander Bridgman and United
States Commercial-Agent Tisdell shows
that all the available land has been ac-
quired from the natives by the trading
house employees, and is held at ex-
trayagant prices. Under these cir
cumstances Admiral English deemed
it unnecessary to take further
action, and was Of the opinion
that to establish the proposed
cOaling depot at Congo would be unwise
and unnecessary. Admiral English
quotes from letter Of Yisdell, in which
he says: "The reputed wealth Of the
Congo Valley has been greatly ex-
aggerated, and it will be an
undesirable and Improbable coun-
try for an American to make
his home in or to embark in
any business enterprise. Between Viyi
and Stanley pool | saw on all sides
misery, want, sickness, and death,
particularly among the employees of
the international Association. The
country does not and cannot produce
food for a white man to live upon, and
barely produces enough for the ma
tiyes."
This opinion is confirmed by Com
mander Bridgman, Of the kearSarge,
who says it would be unwise for the
Government to do anything to en-
courage Americans to go to that re-
gion. The climate is deadly; there is
no food for the white man save what he
brings with him ; the difficulties in the
way of establishing new business are
very great, and the chance for profit
very small. Commander Bridgman has
no faith in the future of Congo pre-
dictcd for it by interested parties.
