AS YET NO NAVY.

A contemporary excuses the Government
for net having a man-of-war at Valparaiso
on the ground that as yet we have no navy
There is something in the excuse, but it
does not answer the inquiry often made as
to the service the new vessels already in
commission are doing Heavy armored fight
ing ships are not needed at Valparaiso. A
cruiser like the Charleston or the San Fran
cisco, or one of the five cruisers composing
the squadron of evolution, would answer
every purpose. We have a number of this
class of vessels afoat, but as yet there is no
record of one OF them being IN place when
it was needed. Probably in time they will

Doctors do not like to talk to news
paper men. for good reasons. Doctors
are custodians of the best stories in
existence, and when a newspaper man
can worm one OF these stories from such
a source 1t Is too good to keep. But of
course the physician must be kept in the
dark. Even then the physician does not
like to talk, because he is afraid his
name might come out. One of these
specialists was talking in his recention
room the other day and he made this
statement:

Sad Accident to a sheen Train.

New YoRK, Feb. 2O.-A sheep train
consisting OF twenty cars while standing
in the fourth avenue railroad tunnel was
run into by the Norfolk local this morn
ing, wrecking the cars of both trains.
The wreck was then run into by third
engine and several of the cars were con-
sumed by fire. Five trainmen were
killed and seven seriously injured.
None of the passengers were hurt.
Four more bodies have been removed
from the wreck and these are thought
to be all the dead. All are burned beyond
recognition. A number of the injured
will probably die.
The police have announced today that
the total number of dead is six.

RAILS FROM CALIFoRN1A.
A Compound Rail Claim To Be Better
Than That Now In Use.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1O.-The current num-
Der of the Rail,oay Age gives considera-
ble space to description of the Bargion
compound rail, California invention, of
which many advantages over the steel
rail now in use are claimed. 1t is an
nounced that j. f. Morris, of San Fran
cisco, secretary of the Bargion Company,
who has been in this city a couple of
weeks, has closed contract with the
Chicago & Northwestern Railway Co., for
a large lot of the rails. They will be
laid on the Northwestern lines and sub
Jected to severe test. They will be
shipped from San Francisco as soon
possible. To railroad men the idea of
steel rails from California is an unique
one. AS one of them said today: at is
a good ecIemplifcation of the old saving
about carrying Goals to Newcastle" Mr..
Morris is negotiating with other compan-
les. The result of the test is awaited
with much interest. If satisfactory,
Eastern rolling mills will probably find
a vigorous competitor on the Pacific coast.

Exhibition in South America,
BosToN, Feb. S.-Reciprocitv with
Brazil is soon to be put to a practical
test. The plan is to send three Ameri-
can steamships to Brazil, loaded with
samples of almost every known product
OF this country. 1t is distinctiyelv a
Boston Idea, and no less than score of
capitalists in that city are interested in
the scheme to increase the American
trade IN the southern republic. New
Workers, and those IN other cities, who
wish to take part in the enterprise. will
be permitted to do so, but the promoters
expect to have the ground-foor profits,
and to push their own special lines.
The scheme has assumed vast proper
uons, and all plans are expected to be
perfected SO that the expedition can
start during the latter part of April or
the first week in MAY for Rio Janeiro.
Arrangements are being made to rent
some large buildings in Rio Janeiro fo:,
eXhlpltlon purposes, and samples will be
shown there first. The plan is after
visiting RIO Janeiro, to take the samples
to the other coast cities of Brazil, and it
may be that Buenos Ayres and other
cities in South America will also have
an opportunity to view the exhibit.
Large sales and vastly increased COM
merce between this country and Brazil
are expected to result from this move
ment, especially in products which are
admitted free by both countries accord
ing to the reciprocity treaty.
