RAILROAD STATISTICS.
nrore Locomotives Built, but raiiroad
Extension is Decreasing.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The Railroad Ga
zetto has gathered records which show
that all of tho thirteen locomotive build
Ing companies in the United States, ex.
cept one, built more locomotives In 1906
than In 1894, and the total number of en-
glnes built foots up 1,t00 against Cos In
tho previous year, This is something Of
an increase, and very good record as far
as 1t goes, but that 1t docs not represent
normal increase seems evident from the
number Of engines built In the five pro-
ylous years, when never less than 2,00o To-
comotives were built In any one year.
That this Ia q safe deduction large orders
for locomotives which have been placed In
recent weeks give additional evidence.
Tho now railroad construction in this
country in 1894 was reported at /, 700 miles,
and that seemed to be as low record as
was likely to be again made. But the
total for this year is about 300 miles less
than that, being 1,42S miles. We nppar.
emily shall have to conclude that railroad
extension hereafter will be small as COM
pared with recent years.
The largest amount of new track laid in
any one state was in Texas, which built
1877 miles of new road. In tho Indian Ter.
ritory LA miles of new railroad was built
during the year, and no other state built
anything like this amount. No other state
built 100 miles Of road, Pennsylvania,
with q toe-.- Of 81 miles, being third on
tho list. That new mileage Is made up
almost Of very short lines reaching new
mines and other industries.

LONDON, Dec. 27.--The following letter

most of the houses have fat mud roofs,
and one can go nearly everywhere on this

'.Turks swarmod over the houses, break-
ing in doors and windows, stoning, beat
ing, cutting, shooting all who opposed
them and many who did not, ] succeeded
several times in turning bnck the crowd
from the roofs Immediately adjoining our
house, but beyond that could do nothing.
They evidently had strict orders to let us
alone.
Frightened citizens came rushing over
the roofs and up the ladder which placed
for them until we had over sixty people
under our narrow roof The riot was ter
rible for three hours, but after sundown
it gradually quieted. During those three
hours the city was patrolled by soldiers,
who cleared the streets temporarily, but
they really did little to stop the pillage. 1
cannot accuse the soldiers of killing any
one, but l saw in several instances sol
diers carrying off some of the plumber"

TO PREVENT STRIKES.
The Plan Proposed by New York's

Ngw YoRK, Dee q. There isno change
Al the situation Of the tailors' strike. None
Of the men have returned to work, aud say
they will not dc 80 until tho contractors
accept their terms The latter are quite
as firmly determined not to yield a single
demand Of their striking employees. Neither
side have yet broken their pledges, and II
seemed today as II the strikers realized
that the contractors were n unit against
granting the slightest concession.
Leaders sschoenfeld and Robinson visited
all the down town manufacturers yester-
day and told them that nothing In the
world could induce the strikers to return
to the sweat shop system which the con-
tractors were trying to force upon them,
and tho manufacturers promised to op-
pose the re-introduction of the system.
Elated with their success, Sehoenfeld
and Robinson hastily called mass meet
ing In Walhala hall in the afternoon, and
afterwards held an executive meeting.
There they matured plan which may

any more strikes from taking place among
the iourneymen tailors OF New York. This
plan was considered at q second executive
meeting last night. Secretary Herman
Robinson briefly explained it. He said:
1--WE are tired OF strikes and want to re-
move their cause The contractors who
stand between the manufacturers and the
working tailors, are responsible for strikes
Hereafter we shall ignore the contractors
and work directly for the manufacturers
We have decided to make an appropria'
tion from the general fund to fit up three
large shops, where members of our broth
orhood may work mt union prices and
under union rules. These shops will bt
under the control Of the Brotherhood o.
Taiors.
''This system we shall extend all owe,

stand by the agreement of August, 1894
We expect to hear from them tomorrow
and when they hear Of our plan / bclievI
they viii come to terms, as they will b.
very anxious to get our men back whei
the busy season opens in the spring"
For several years past the plan outlined

Continuing Mr.. Robinson said;

tive system of work, and practically mean
