Tie use OF ''horse power" as 4 measure
of an engines work comes natuIS'y
from the fact that the first engines were
built TO do the work previously done 10y
horses. John Smeaton, the builder OF
atmospheric engines before Bolton and
Watt had introduced their more impOr-
t.:nt mac'sine, had already SCI the VOL k
ing power of "A horse as equal to lifting
a weight OF 22,COO pounds one foot
high in a foot.
Bolton and Watt agreed to place
their engines ''for tie value of one
third part of tie cUI's which are saved
Iy its use.'
tt ey also incTca ed the horse power
to 50 90 pounds Ier minute, lifted the
height speciliei by Smeaton, SO that
their engines were half again as pow
erful, according to the way their build
eis rated them, rs those of their COM
petitOrs. In this way they established
tie ''hoTse power" as 81, ,000-foot pounds
per minute, or 550-foot per second.

The Case of Engineer G. W. Hall.

Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
SYRACUSE, Feb. 1.-THE widow of Engi-
neer George w. Hall, who died from al
legged cruel treatment in Samoan waters
last June, proposes to bring suit against
the United States government for being,
through its officers, accountable for her
husbands death. The evidence, it is de-
clared, would disclose official malignity of
the worst type. What would give strength
and support to the plaintiffs suit would be
the strong side light thrown on it by the
harsh treatment that Undertaken John
Mccarthy was subjected to in his search
for Halls body.
Fresh evidence comes to the widow every
day. 1t has just come to light that ter
Hall was taken off his vessel, the Nipsic,
he mailed his wife from Apia, lette r
which he wrapped in a newspaper, lest,
should he enclose it In an envelope, it
might be intercepted and the contents
noted. The letter was the one which he
sent Admiral Kimberly, then at Honolulu,
in which he asked for leave of absence on
account of extreme illness. The letter
was returned and on the bottom was writ
ten: sYou see your request, has not been
granted Mrs. Hall believes this reDiy.

The Samoan Treaty Ratified.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Soon after the
Senate went into executive session to day
Senator Sherman called up the Samoan
treaty and for over three hours it was
under discussion. Senator Eustis led the
attack upon the treaty, asserting that by
it's terms the United States was placed at
a disadvantage compared with the other
treaty powers, Germany and England.
Senator Edmunds, member of the COM
mittee on foreign relations. raised the
question whether or not the United States
did not by the treaty under consideration
surrender the right to the harbor of Page
Page secured by the treaty of 1878. If it
did, he said, the loss of those rights
more than overbalanced the gain made in
other directions.
Senator Sherman replied that the rights
of the United States in the matter of Page
Pago harbor were undisturbed by the
treaty of 1889. He was supported in this
view by Senator Dolph. The discussion
continued until 5 o'clock, when the roll
was called upon ratifying the treaty. The
motion to ratify was adopted with only
twelve negative votes dissenting.
Among the bills introduced and referred
was one by Wolcott for the admission of
New Mexico, and one by Plum, for the pro-
lection of American bison.
ingalls, presented petition asking an
appropriation of 800 per capita for emf

Plumb offered a resolution which was
agreed to, calling on the secretary of war
to furnish copies of the various reports of
military officers in relation to affairs at
Guthrie and Oklahoma City since the open
inc and settlement of the territory. After
executive session the Senate adjourned.

SECRETARY TRACY'S GRIEF.
He is Improving Queen Victoria Sends
Message Deploring his Great Calamity.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Secretary Tracy con-
tinues to improve slowly. Many prominent peo-
pie called during the morning and were in
formed that the secretary was getting along
nicely. His son, Frank b. Tracy, arrived this
morning on special train. He is the first mem
Der of his family that the secretary has seen
since the awful calamity of yesterday His
presence was an unmiStakable source of Joy and
hope to his bereaved parent The President
sent early in the morning to inquire after the
Secretary. Secretary Tracy was this afternoon
removed to the White House. The physicians
pronounce him out of danger.
The physicians attending Mrs. and Miss Will
merding said this morning that they passed j
quiet. fair night and are better to-day. Mrs.
Wilnerding suffered great deal from bruises
and at times this morning was hystercal. The
doctors succeeded in quieting her nerves and
she fell into quiet Siumbec. Miss Wilmerding
is decidedly be ter.
Secretary Tracy displayed wonderful recuper-
alive powers this morning. At IL O'clock he
surprised his physicians by gettiOg out of bed
and dressing himself He showed such strength
that he was allowed to descend 30 the library
and remain there portion OF the day.
During the morning ne was visited by
the President and Secretary Noble
Shortly after his arrival at the White House he
he requested to be taken into the east room and
shown the caskets containing the remains OF
his wife and daughter. They were covered with
beautiful flowers. Standing at the head be-
tween them both was large palm tree ar
ranged so that the leaves dropped gracefully
over the dead. The secretary was very much
afflicted by the sight and sobbed as though his
heart would break. The casket containing Mrs.
Tracy's body was opened and he was allowed
to look upon her face for the last
time. The other body was in no condition for
inspection and the casket was not opened at all.
1t was q terrible ordeal for the stricken man,
but he bore it remarkably well though there
was no concealing the keenness and depth of
his grief. This evening Secretary Tracy re
ceived cablegram through Sir Julian Paunce

children are out of danger.

The Chic Ballot Boy Forgeries.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Governor Campbell
was before the special house committee on the
ballot box forgery again to-day. In the course
of his testimony he said that Editor Halstead
had been forced to admit that he did not intend
to use the paper until just before the election.
This explained why he did not consult with
Senator Sherman and others. Then. too ne
hoped it would be too late for any proof beyond
his (Campbells) denial to be produced, and thus
defeat his election. If he had believed that the
paper was genuine, said the witness, he would
have published it at once and ended the cam
paign. The witness told how Wood called on
him the day after his (Wood's) arrest and
talked ramblingly and referred to a big
steel bill witness had gotten through
Congress with u S6,G00,00O appropriation
in it. The witness had believed the man was
crazy, and asked him what he meant. Wood
insisted that the witness owned q gun patent.
Then the witness recollected that he once did
own part of small gun patent, which he had
forgotten all about. the chief of engineers had
pronounced the gun worthless for fertilization
and that had settled that matter. After long
desultory examination about the ballot-boS
matter the hearing was adjourned until to
morrow.

The Crook-Miles CONTROVERSY.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispa

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. |
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-According to dis
patches received from San Francisco, Cen
eral Miles has, in very strong language,
objected to many of the statements made
by General Crook in reference to the treat
ment of the Indians who were removed to
Florida and the details of the campaign
which resulted in their surrender i'll his
report recommending their return to their
old reservation. A copy of such dispatch
having been shown General Crook to-day,
he said: 81 will say only this: Gen
eral Miles does not deny any of
the specific statements I have made.
His statement particularizes nothing and
| deals only in generalities. Whenever he
denies the manner in which Lieutenant
Gatewoed effected the surrender of these
Indians, then l will reply to him." This
was all that General Crook was willing to
| say on the subject.
The other day, in the Senate, Senator
George F. Hoar introduced bill calling
for all the papers in the matter, and it is
probable that if an investigation is ordered
all the real facts will come out. Genera
4 Crook seems to rely on them to uphold hi.
