was decided that Chinese empl yed by the
Alaska Mill and Mining company, on Doug

Running an Engine With Oil.

WASHINGTON, Aug. lS.-An interesting
and successful trial trip was made of an en-
gine run by oil instead of coal as fuel. The
engine, with a passenger car attached, left
the Alexandria depot of the Washington,
Ohio & Western railroad about noon, and
ran up the road as far as Vienna, Va, dis
tance of fifteen miles At times a speed Of
fortS miles an hour was attained, and no diff
icuity was experienced in raising steam
pressure of 140 pounds.
The inventor, Capt. W. H. Brooks, an old
locomotive engineer, accompanied the party.
The oil is used ON the same principle as in
vapor stoves, the crude petroleum being
vaporized by blast of superheated steam.
The heat generated is intense and continuous.
About thirty gallons are used each hour and
a tank ON the tender of the engine carried
six barrels. Quite large number of Wash
ingtonians are interested in the invention
which, it is claimed, will revolutionize the
use of the coal as well as doing away with
cinders, for the burning Of oil creates no
smolxa

The Pennsylvania Democrats.

HARRISBURG, Pa Aug. 18.-It was deter
mined at conference held this morning be-
tween Chairman Hensel and the Wallace
managers thai there should be no contest in
the convention over the organization. At
the suggestion of Chairman Hense ex-Judge
w. G. Herman, of Cumberland county, was
accepted by the Wallace people for tempo
rary chairman, with the understanding that
they should name the permanent chairman
1t is probable that ex-Congressman w. +.
Elliott, Of Tioga, will be the Wallace factions
man. Mr.. Elliott may possibly not satisfy
all the Wallace people, which would undoubt-
edly lead to the selection Of Hon. Jacob
Zeiler, of Butler, for permanent chairman.
A dark horse has, it appears, little prospect
in the contest for head of the ticket
The situation between Black and Wallace
now promises to be fight to a finish, and SO
far the lieuteaant governor appears to have
the best of it, There will be no contest over
the nomination Of Africa for secretary Of the
interior.
Maxwell Stevensons chances for the con-
gressional nomination seem almost certain.
There is no talk of platform as yet, al
though it is said that Chairman Hensel has
one ready, and Mr.. Wallace has sent a draft
of several planks, which will clash with the
Hensel resolution. Should Black be nomi.
mated for governor Bruce Ricketts,, OF
Luzerne, will, in all probability, be the NOM
inee for lieutenant governor.
