SATURDAY, September l6, was Railroad
day at the Worlds Fair and an interesting
programme was prepared to entertain the
public, but nothing seemed of so much
consequence to the public as the "tug OF
war" between a steam locomotive and an
electric locomotive. The steam locomotive
was No. 10, that has been in service on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad for some
fifteen years. 1t has 16x25 cylinders, uses
steam at 140 pounds pressure, and weighs
on the drive about 35 tons, while the
tender gives an additional weight of about
eight tons. The electric locomotive is one
recently built by the General Electric
Company and has thirty tons on the
wheels. Its motor capacity is $50 horse
power. This locomotive was designed to
operate on an overhead trolly, but as none
was at hand, temporary cables connected
the motors to the Exposition 500 volt
circuit The steam locomotive easily
drew the electric locomotive all oyer the
track.

Trouble of the Senate Employees Be-
cause of the Presidents Absence.
While the majority Of the special en-
ployes Of the Senate at this time would
probably swear eternal allegiance to Pres
ident Cleveland, 1t Is a fact that, deep
down in their hearts, they bear him not a
little Ill feeling. Yesterday was the 18th
tomary for these employees to arrange
themselves in a long line, with beaming
faces. before the financial clerk of the
Senate and patiently await their turn to
draw down their semi-monthly stipend.
Yesterday a number of them arranged
themselves all right enough. and they had
their beaming faces properly adjusted. but
they did not draw.
1t was all on account of Mr.. Cleveland,
and eosequently the Ill feeling which Is
manifest toward him today In order that
employees should become available for the
extra session 1t was necessary for Congress
to pass a resolution authorizing the use of
the appropriation for this purpose Con-
gress did its share Of the work nobly, and
without delay. The House and then the
Senate passed the resolution without oppo-
sition, but Grover, oh. where? OH where
was he? The resolution could not be car
ried into effect without his signature, and
Gables, the signature was not to be OBJ
tanned.
Therefore the boys did not leave the
Capitol with the wealth they expected, and
for them, the financial stringency has NOT
been relieved in the least.

A BERING SEA EXPERT.
Capt. shepard Thinks the Seaiin
Regulations May do Some Good.


Regulations May do Some Good.
Capt. L. G. Shepard, chief Of the revenue
cutter service. is an authority in matters
affecting the seal fisheries. He has spent
many years cruising in Bering sea. and is
thoroughly familiar with the ways OF the
poachers. as well as the habits Of the seals
He commanded the cutter Rush from 1856
to 1890. the period Of greatest activity among
the poachers. and he made a large number
of seizures He is somewhat disappointed
at the result of the arbitration, and ex-
presses doubt as TO the utility OF the regu-
lations for the prohibition OF pelagic seal
ing and the preservation OF the species.
He said that he thought 1t would be very
difficult, from police point OF view TO car
ry the regulations into effect. AS he under
stood the matter, both governments. the
United States and Great Britain, would
Jointly police Bering sea and endeavor 10
carry out the regulations agreed upon. Ii
would be very difficult to define the boun-
dairy line of the sixty miles prohibitive zone
in consequence of the dense fogs which
constantly prevail in those seas. Still he
thought the sixty mile zone was some pro-
lection to seal life. The prohibition OF the
use of nets and firearms, however, would
do more to protect the seals than anything
in the agreement. At present, and In their
could engage in seal hunting, and this work
would devolve to a great extent upon the
Indians, and will probably cause a greal
demand for their labor These Indians use
men do not possess.
Capt. Shepard himself, while in command
of the Rush, made number of captures
in Alaskan waters of sealers fishing illegal
ly, according to the contention Of the Unit
ed States at that time.
Speaking from memory Capt. Shepard
said that in 1856 four vessels were seized
1887. 49, 1888, none; 1889, six; 1881, three; 1892
two. He thought these figures woul1 be
found to be approximately accurate. Claims
for damages under this decision would now
be filed by the owners of all these vessels
The Treasury Department had detailed
list of all the property on board the vessels
which it's officers have seized since 1886
The value of this property will probably b.
determined by commission. This tedious
work would require much time and 1t will
probably be year more before the
of claims for actual loss would not, he
thought, be very great. AS to consequen
tial damages they. If allowed. would
amount to millions Of dollars.

Is BOurke Cochran Playing Achilles
The marked absence of Mr.. Bourke Cock
ran from the meeting and the appointment
of Gen. Tracey as chairman Of the execu-
tive committee in his stead occasioned
rumors to be started that the distinguished
Tanmany orator like Achilles, had taken
umbrage and retired to his tent, and would
no longer seek to lead the forces who favor
unconditional repeal The additional sur
mise was ventured upon that Mr. Cochran
would be found eventually siding with Sena-
tor Hill in favor of a bimetallic standard.
But as MIR. Cochran himself was not present
and no one was authorized to speak for him
and explain his absence these suggestions
Were received with the qualification that II

ments before accepting them as facts

Senator Ho.r Oh silver.

The silver speech delivered in the Senate
yesterday afternoon by Senator Hoar was
long discussion concerning the produc-
tion of gold and silver. during which he an
nounced himself in favor of both these met
ais as currency on a parity. He had al
ways been a bimetallist, but 1t was the bi-
metailism of Washington and Jefferson
which recognized gold the finer metal
and necessarily the standard of value Sill
yer today circulated everywhere as the
money Of the people and would continue
until time should be no more, although at
times legislation or speculation might place
them one above the other. Mr.. Hoar said
that believing with Hamilton that bimetal-
lism is the only policy which we can pursue
and believing also with him that when sill
yer and gold separated the better metal be-
came the standard, he was, therefore, in
favor of stopping the purchase of more sill
yer.
If Mr.. ;Cleyeland, in his inaugural had
said that he would use all the power of
the Executive to keep every dollar equal
to every other dollar and that there should
be no interference with the tariff this
calamity would not have come
At the close of Mr.. Hoars speech a dis
cussion started as to the old question of
responsibility for the demonetiza ton of
silver and was carried on for some time
by Senators Stewart. Cockrell Aldrich,
Hoar and Sherman. Finally, at $40 pm
after brief executive session, the Senate
adjourned until today.

The commissioner of internal revenue ex-
plains the action of collectors in refusing
to accept checks in payment Of internal
revenue taxes as follows: The impression
seems to be general throughout the country
that the refusal of the collectors of internal
revenue to accept checks In payment of in
ternal revenue taxes is in accordance with
instructions which have been issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury. No such in
structions have been issued. The fact is
that until recently the collectors have, at
their own risk, accepted checks in payment
of taxes, and the same have been received
by the repositories as so much cash.
The condition of things in the country be-
ing such at this time that the collectors
cannot use these checks at the repositories
in the payment of the amounts due from
them on account Of internal revenue taxes.
they are compelled to exact payment in the
manner provided by section s47s. Revised
Statutes, which is as follows: And all
taxes and all other debts and demands
than duties on imports accruing or becom-
ing due to the United States. shall be paid
in gold and silver coin. treasury notes,
United States notes or notes of national
banks"
If the banks could pay currency on the
checks drawn upon them by parties who
have taxes to pay. the checks would be re-
ceived by the collectors as heretofore and
the existing difficulties would be 1t an end.

CAPITOL TOPICS.



The Nicaragua canal bill is UP again. Mr..
Frye has reintroduced In the Senate the
measure which Senator Sherman brought
forward In the last Congress and reported
favorably from his committee on foreign re-
lations. and which was discussed for sew
eral days in the Senate without action. The
capital stock of the company is fixed at
100000 shares Of 500 each. The main pur-
pose or the bill OF course is to have the gov
ernment practically assume the construc-
ton of the canal and the control OF the
company.
Mr.. kyle's Postal. Saving Scheme.
Mr.. Kyle. the populist Senator from South

tai savings bank scheme, which not only
embodies the features OF previous post
bank savings bills. but includes some addi-
donal features on the lines OF the third
party's peculiar theories. Under his bill
the Postmaster General is authorized to
designate certain post Offices, one in each
county. to receive small deposits for re-
mittance to subtreasuries. He is to issue
postal saving stamps from 10 cents to 81.
The savings are not to exceed 81 900 for any
one person, and are to draw interest at

Making up the List Of House Speakers
The Speaker Of the House has an arduous
task In making up the list OF silver or anti
silver orators. and when the sun goes down
in the evening he does not know precisely
who will make the addresses the following

that the knowing Representatives or those
who regard themselves as the knowing rep
resentatives, all desire to speak during tile
