Acainst Convict Iobor.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-An important
bill, designed to prevent the employ
ment on public works of prison or con-
Wet labor, or the products of such labor,
was reported to the house from the
labor committee by Representative
Davis. The bill is made effective by
the inclusion in it of the following pro-
visions; In all contracts made for the
construction or repair of public works
there is to be inserted a condition that
no convict or prison labor or the pro-
duct thereof shall be employed or used
upon such buildings. The willful viola
ton of the law is TO constitute forfeit
1lre of contract.

recently they have proved unsuccessful.
The process, says the Chicago Herald,
is, briefly, to treat quicklime with suf-

adding to it, however, just before it be-
comes completely hydrated, an aqueous
solution of phosphoric acid, and while
thoroughly stirring incorporating small
quantities of calcium carbonate, mag
nesia and alumina, and finally the CELIA
tine and albumen dissolved in water.
Thus is obtained plastic, intimately
mixed mass, which is set aside to allow
completion of the action of the phos-
phOric acid upon the chalk. A day
later, while the mixture is still plastic,
it is pressed into the desired form and
dried in a current Of air about $50 de-

ELECTRIC TRAINS.
We May Look for Such Things in
Near Future.

We May Look for Such Things in the
Near Future.
Every now and then we hear that
electric motors will soon take the place
of steam locomotives on railroads. How
stated in an interesting article in Loco
motive Engineering which says:
The prospect of moving ordinary
trains by electricity is about as good now
as the prospects of lighting cities by cleo
tricity were before the discovery that
electricity could be generated by a dyna-
mo-electric machine. Previous to the in
PRODUCTION of the dynamo it was well
known that electric lights could be
made with powerful batteries, but the
zine and copper that constituted the
fuel of the battery were too expensive
to make electric lighting anything
more than q curiosity The dy1ramo
effected a revolution by cheapening
electricity. If another improvement
equally radical should be made over the
present methods of generating cleo
tricity it would open the way for
operating railroad trains more cheaply
by electricity than by locomotives.
The radical Improvement looked for is
the direct generation of electricity
from the energy of coal So long as
coal has to be burned in furnace to
make steam for an engine to drive
dynamos for the generation of the cleo
tricity used there is no probability of
electric transmission being cheaper than
hauling by locomotives.

RUSSIAN DIPLOMACY.
How Clever Ambassador Obtained Au

How Clever Ambassador Obtained Audi
ence with the Sul5 \.
The late sultan of Turkey. Abdul
Ariz, was, if not absolutely mad, suf-
ficient eccentric to cause constant
trouble, not only among his own minis
ters, but also where the foreign anbas-
sailors We're concerned. One Of the am
bassadors, however, Gen Ignatieff Of
Russia, was sutfic,en tly clever to outwi;
him and introduce the business OF
nations under the guise Of personal
pleasure. A fine example of his ingenu-
ity is given IN an article in Murrays
Magazine:
At one time the sultan absolutely re-
fused to grant an audience to any mem
Der OF the diplomatic body, and spent
the greater part of his time in cock
fighting, an amusement which he great
ly relished.
Ignatief learned that his imperial
majesty was in need of fresh birds to
supply the place of those killed in fight.
Thereupon, Ignatieff procured a fine
looking white fowl of the barnyard
species had it trimmed and spurred to
richly decorated cage to the sultan.
The ruse was successful, but the sui
tan, at first delighted with the gift
soon sent for the ambassador to present
himself at the palace, and explain, if
he could, why the bird had no inclina-
ton t. fight. Ignatieff went, examined
the bird in the presence of the sultan
and, with great establishment and re-
greet, acknowledged that it was quite
unable to cope with the royal game
cocks which were of an undoubtedly
superior race.
A conference followed on the subject
Of gamecocks in general, and this one
in particular, and when the diplomatist
had succeeded in drawing the sultan
into a conversational mood, he adroitly
introduced the political matter he had
SO long awaited to discuss. After long
conversation he returned to his embassy
triumphant over his other colleagues.

telegram to the solicitor of the Grand
Trunk Railroad company:
Hon. E. ". MEDDAUGH, DETROIT
MICH: Neither Manitoba nor domestic
wheat can be carried in Canadian bot
toms from Duluth to Port Huron, as it
would be in violation of our coasting
laws. But if carried in American bot
toms it is not subject to tolls. If car
ried through the canal from Duluth to
Sarnia for consumption in or export
from Canada via Montreal or any other
port it would be.
80. L. SPAULDING,
"Acting Secretary"
