A TYPICAL COUNTRY ROAD.

fThe farmer who travels over 1t pays tax OF
great proportions for every mile coveredl
billy portions of this country, a wagon
usually has to climb an aggregate
height of thousand or more feet in
going distance of ten miles, an
amount of grade which could readily
have been avoided by adding two or
three miles to the length of the way.
In the rough reckoning CT the coun-
try engineer, it always seems to be
always advantageous to construct
road on the most direct alignment
which will be passable to loaded We
hicles, with all the power which can
conveniently be put upon them. 1t
Is easy, however, to show that uIually
the only economy which is thus effect
ed is the cost of the first construction.
A close reckoning will always indi-
cate that this initial economy Is
bought at disproportionate annual
cost in the expense of use and main.
tenance. The load which can be
drawn over the direct way is often not
more than half that which could be
taken over the lower route, and pro-
portionate wear on the draught ami.
mails and the vehicles will often vary
in a similar measure. Moreover, the
expense of maintaining billy roads,
under the wearing action of rain, frost
and locked wheels, will more than
counterbalance the cost OF longer but
less inclined route.
Many persons, particularly those o.
small experience, are of the opinion
that they carry in the mind wide
stretch of country so effectively that
they may be able to design a route
which will fit the topography in sat.
isfactory manner. This is clearly
delusion as is shown by the fact that
no trained engineer however wide his
experience, dares trust himself to
stake out mile of railway without
careful preliminary survey of the
ground, one which will enable him to
take to his office the data by which he
can plat and compare the several pos.
sible routes This care as to the loca.
ton of a railway, though invariably
taken, IS, IN proportion 10 the magnl
tude Of the interests involved, OF
rather less consequence than that de-
manded in the case of common road,
The increase in the expenditure of en-
ergy required to convey the loads OF
ordinary wagons up steep slopes is
quite us great as it would be in the
case of locomotive climbing like
grades, and the power which is applied
through horsehesh costs far more per
unit than that used in locomotive.
1t is therefore clearly important to
take the same kind of care in deter
mining the route to be followed by a
highway rs is taken in the choice of a
line for the newer kind of transporta
ton.

ANOTHER FAST ONE
New Cruiser Minneapolis
DeveIOpeS Great Speed.
A RECORD OF q IS KNUTS
Max Her a Worthy Acqu ,sition TO
Uncle Sans Navy.

PHILADELPHIA, June S.-The new United
States cruiser Minneapolis returned at Q
o'clock last uight from her preliminary,
OF builders trial trip.
The big cruiser acquitted herself most
creditably, proving herself the equal, II
not the superior, Of her sister ship, the
Columbia. While IL Is true that the Min
neApolis did not equal the record of 22:S7
knots an hour made by the Column bia on
her official trip, she did better than her
sister ship did on the preliminary trip Of
the latter, the speed OF the Minneapolis
being 2l:75 knots, while that Of the Co
lumbia was but 2O9s.
This was accomplished In spite OF the
fact that the new ship had TO burn
anthracite coal. which IL regarded az a
handicap. As a result OF this trial 1t is
freely predicted that the Minneapolis will
make at least % knots on her official trip
Early In the morning, anchor was
weighed, and the Minneapolis steamed
out to sea the from Delaware Break water,
q distance Of about 90 miles Then she
turned, and at 10 o'clock started back
again. Now she was under forced
draught, and the cinders were flying
from her tunnels like hail.
The record made by the Colum bia on
her preliminary trial was 20;95 knots, so
that the Minneapolis had beaten il by
about three-quarters of knot, and still
has something up her sleeve. In horse
power, too, she excels the Columbia, hav-
ing developed 20. 800, while that OF the
Colum bia is about $1,000

The uncourtly reply last Wednesday
evening by Mayor Tiepke TO Alder
man Smith relative 10 the Interstate
Railway petition presented two weeks
previous has been matter OF much
comment among our citizens.
The City Solicitor, who is an asso-
ciate upon the committee with the
Mayor upon the petition referred TO-
had previously given encouraging in
formation TO some parties as regards
the probable early starting Of the In
terstate cars, and for that rea-
son il was expected that
possibly the Mayor might have little
information TO impart if not ready TO
makea full report. But instead Of any
information came the tart reply that
when the committee we're ready the
Mayor would so inform the Board Of
Aldermen.
II is well known fact that "A large
proportion Of our citizens are very
anxious regarding the probability OF
the early starting of the Interstate
cars and they have many sufficient rea-
sons therefor. We published few
days ago "A decision as well as some very
valuable information from the Hon.

of the suggestions of Judge Colt are Of

form a good basis for action by the au-

Be Discussed Under s. Ainute Rule.

wAsmNGToS, June s-Ths house had
the Indian appropriation bill under dis
oussion yesterday.
The maiu feature of the debate was an
attack on the Catholic church, made by
Mr.. Linton OF Michigan, In which he
argued against the contract Indian
schools, saying that under this system
the largest share OF the appropriation for
educating the Indians went to the Cstho-
lie Indian schools
The other point Of interest was the de-
bate on the location Of the Indian sup
ply warehouse, the New York delegation
protesting against the absndonm ent Of
the warehouse at New York for one At
Chicago. This gave rise to spirited de-
bate between the ch ampions Of the two
eitiea
A resolution was adopted before sd-
journment calling on the secretary OF the
treasury for information a. to the en-
foreement OF the immigration and con-
tract labor laws, and another authorizing
the committee on immigration TO visit

the operation Of the laws

these products free OF duty from any

made today. Under this agreem ent, all
the succeeding schedules Of the tariff bill
down to WOO will be discussed under the

dicate that they have given up the fight,
but does show their desire to get to the
