THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC.
It'll 90 2Q9 locomotives and | n22 26Q


With 1893 locomotives and 1,033,36S
cars. the railroads of the country last
year transported 451, 1853, 655 passengers
and 5S9. 1895, 317 tons of freight. For this
service the passenger paid 2.246 cents
per nile and the freight shipped paid
1907 cents per mile. Passenger rates
rule highest in the South Atlantic
states. where the average is ISIS cents,
and lowest in New England, where they
are but a trifie over cents. Freight
rates range from 1.S95 cents per ton per
mile Oh the Pacific coast to .S33 IN the
middle states.
An interesting calculation is made of
the number of persons dependent upon
the railroads for support. 1t is esti-
mated that there are $4,000 persons dl-
rectly employed by the railroads, or SIX
to the mile. and 100000 more, or five to
the mile. employed in locomotive and
car-buildiug establishments, rail mills
and other industrial establishments at
filiated with railroads. To this total is
added the number of persons employed
in constructing new railroads estimated
at 1900, and grand total is reached
of 2, 5 LOCO persons, representing fam
lies numbering 12.250,0 900 persons. The
wages received by these employees would
amount to S1.040, 100000 per annum, or
about s3,O00,000 for each day in the year.

THE UNITED STATES FAR AHEAD.
No other country in the world has a
railroad system approaching in magni-
tude that of the United States. In an
other table is given the railroad mileage
of every country, stated in kilometres,
from which it appears that the United
States contains nearly 40 per cent of the
whole mileage. In the United States
are "a, 210 kilometres, and on the Amer
lean continent, North and South, there
are 290,31S kilometres. All Europe has
2O7, 500 kilometres; Asia, 26,S9S kilo-
metres: Africa, 7,716 kilometres; and
Australia, 1927 kilometres. making
grand total of 54s,035 kilometres. The
rapidity of the growth of the railroad
system in the United States is almost
marvellous, the mileage having increased
from S5,OS5 miles at the close of the
civil war to 156,OS2 miles in 1888, or
about 121.0O0 miles in twenty-three

TNWIsE SENATOR'S.

Themselves.

The session of the state senate on
FRIDAY developed a new phaz, in the
political situation and one in which
the republicans. 10 the outside cbsery-
or, seem 10 have n secure advantage.
The rrocs eiings having now reached
n hattie of parliamentary t%'ctlcs, II IL
different fer anyone but e parlimen'ar-
ian to follow u en- accurately but the
surface indications are that the demos
Gratis have placed themselves in "a false
position from which they must sooner
or later emerge.
On Friday the roll call Of the senate
showed seven republicans and n like
number Of democrats in attendance,
which was clearly a quorum. The
first order ~ business, i%nsugurated by
the republican side, was 10 succeed to
the election # officers # the senate.
This the democrats sought TO deter by
a call for the Eyes and nays. This the
president overruled on the ground
that the senate had not yet adopted
rules for the transaction Of business,
and under this ruling after some de-
bate, the election was proce. ded with
the democrats declining to vote and
the republicans voting solid for their
nominee, who was thereupon declared
elected. This gave rise 10 another de.
bate on the question IA 10 whether
seven votes nut of fourteen senators
present constituted n majority Of all
the votes cast and carried M election,
informing the dissenting democrats
that they had their remedy, meaning
doubtless that II lay in their using
their privilege TO vote instead of de-
clining tn do 80. The definite on this
point was lively and acrimonious. and
precedenis were cited on both sides.
but the president held resolutelv "a
his ruling and under II n secretary.
enrolling clerk, engrossIug clerk, ser.
geant-st-aims and chaplain were
elected by the republicans, the demo-
Gratis declining TO make any nomina-
tiops and refusing to vote. Uuder the
sa ne mode Of procedure, the drawing

IN yesterdays issue, and after soms

The Japs Are Great Smokers.

When he goes to bed at night the
Jap must have his smoking utensils
within easy reach, and also his night
light or little lamp set within box-like
screen of paper If he wakes up IN the
night he reaches out for his pipe, lights
it by the live coal buried in the ashes
of little jar provided for the purpose,
takes a few puffs and goes to sleep
again. Nearly all japanese women as
well as men smoke. The smoking sets
are made in many styles, though the
pipes are much alike. Many Of them
are prettily ornamented. The straight
stems are of reed, tipped with metal,
and the bowls, which are very small,
about half the size of an ordinary thin
bic, are of metal. The mans pipe has
4. shorter stem than that used by a wo-
man. Otherwise the pipes are alike.
The man uses short stem for conven-
fence sake, us he carries his pipe in a
case which he thrusts in his belt. At
tached to this case by cords is a pouch
for tobacco and generally a Netsuke, a
charm, or little figure of carved ivory,
which hangs down like a watch-charm.
The smoking set includes the little jar

pidor is merelya joint Of bamboo, cut off
so MS to make cylindrical box, one end
being closed. This the japanese smo-
ker, when he desires TO expectorate,
raises to his lips. Though the custom
seems odd to an American, Prof. Hitch
cock said it was much less disgusting
than the American habit of discharging
saliva at spittoon at long range. The
Japanese tobacco is fine and stringy,
looking something like American fine
cut or straight cut. 1t is put up in rolls
of different sizes, bound around with
paper, the ends being open. so as to ex-
pose the tobacco. The little pipe bowls
hold only a pinch of this tobacco,
enough to give three or four good
whifis. Then the Jap knocks the bowl
so as to empty the ashes into his hibachi
or cuspidor. II he is travelling he prob
ably knocks the bowl against the toe of
his wooden shoe. He will fill his pipe
many times. When he has emptied his
pips and filed it he will scoop up the
hot ashes again upon the fresh tobacco
in the bowl, and thus get new light

An Engine-Room Telegraph.

An electric engine-room telegraph Of
a successful kind has been invented by
Mr.. J. b. Wallis, and introduced ON a
number Of H. Nj. ships Camperdown,
Rodney aud others. The apparatus con-
sists of dial with a hand, which is
moved to the points on the dial repre-
sentiLg the orders to be transmitted to
the engine-room. This dial stands on
the bridge, and is under the control of
the officer ON duty. The movement Of
the handle by him rings an electric bell
in the engine-room to call the engineers
attention to another similar dial which
is provided for him, on which he reads
the order transmitted to him. By an
ingenious arrangement the engineer
signals back that he has understood the
order correctly, and the officer aeknowl-
edges the message by again ringing the
bell. A similar apparatus has also been
devised by Mr.. Wallis for telegraphing
from and to the engine-room the num-
Der ofrevolutions which the screw is max
ing a minute, an indication of the speed
useful in evolutions at sea. The same
principle has further been applied by
the inventor to the construction of a
steering telegraph, by which the COM
mander can direct the man at the
wheel. II CasselPs.

London STANDS Agnasr.

The one absorbing topic OF conversation in
London is the APPALLING calamity in Pennsyl
vania. The first reports which reached Lon
don placed the loss Of life at 1900. and al
though it was evident, even from the meager
details which the cable brought, that the cal
amity must have been Of unprecedented pro
portions, no one expected that the later dis
patches would confirm this figure.
When, however, with every successive tele-
gram. the figures were raised from 500 to
$500. then 5000. then to 10000. and est.
mates as high as 10 900 dead began to reach
there. he full extent ofthe calamity ccme to

men we're assembled together the latest
reports from the scene of the food in Amer

there are few who have even an inkling OF the
enormous loss Of life indicated in later dis
patches. all stand aghast at the extent OF the
calamity Naturally the greatest excitement
prevails at the hotels where American tourists
are stopping, and feeling Of profound
gloom has settled over the entire American
colony.
Among the large number Of Americans
always to be found in London at this season
OF the year there arc now several gentlemen
and their families who hail from the stricken
