RAILROAD NEWS.

The Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western and Lehigh Valley are having
a rate war on a Coney Island trip to-
day. The Lehigh Valley advertised an
excursion to Coney Island for s3.25.
Yesterday the Lackawanna announced
an excursion to the same place on the
same day for 50. Thereupon the Le-
high Valley people reduced their rate
to }3 and announced that IL the Lacka-
wanna made another cut they would
meet II and go them one better. The
travelling public would like to see the
hight made permanent. 1t Is a novelty
Tor Scranton to have a railroad rate
war. although no uncommon thing in
many places, particularly in the west,
where passenger associations do not
obtain with the same force as in the
east
San Francisco photographer claims
10 have completed a device by which
every railroad ticket may be made to
bear the photograph Of the original pur-
chaser, as a preventive Of scalping.
The whole process Of taking the picture
developing the negative, and printing
the portrait on a portion Of the ticket
can be done. he says. while the Dur.
chaser Is paying for his ticket, or in one
minute at the longest. The apparatus Is
elaborate. but the inventor thinks that
1t Is infallible. and that railway COM
pAnies ought to be willing to pay a good

ADDS that the only unfavorable fea-
ture. so far as the road Is concerned
is the condition of the anthracite coal
trade. He admits he does not under
stand why the Generalization Is con-
tinued. The movement Of general mer-
chandise and the passenger traffic over
the Lehigh Valley Is very heavy.
Omcials OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
company deny that there Is any trouble
IN regard to passenger rates on east
bound business. 1t has been rumored
that the Baltimore and Ohio had made
big cut In rates from Chicago to
Atlantic City. This, however is de-
MED. as the rate quoted by the Balti-
more and Ohio Is what was agreed
upon. The Pennsylvania gave a sim

A STEAMER ON WHEELS.
1t Will Make an Overland journey
on Wheels.

An interesting steamer is Just
about to be started on some lakes a
few miles distant from Copenhagen,
the peculiar feature being that the
steamer has to make short journey
overland, the two lakes being divided
by strip of land. Across this rail
way has been constructed, crossing a
high road, which necessitates
gradient on both sides of l.5O, the
metals being ordinary rails. At the
two ends the rails have been carried
into and under the water on a wood
en- structure. By means of piles the
steamer is guided on to the rails,
which correspond in position with
two wheels fixed on each side of the
steamer. The steamer goes then on
10 the rails at ''full speed" and
travels up the rails on the one side
and down the incline on the other,
into the water, where the propeller
again takes over its function. The
engine Is comparatively powerful,
and In addition to the usual propel-
Ter shaft, there is another shaft,
which, by means of a chain, works
the small wheels on which the steam
er crosses the rails. The boat also
has a powerful brake to moderate its
speed down the incline. The steam r
is Al feet long, capable of holding 20
passengers, and the engine indicates
q horsepower. All the trials have
passed off perfectly satisfactorily.

The canal now being built to con-
meet with Lake Washington, will
give Seattle one of the finest barbors

five years to complete and will cost

Theo. IL. Davies & Co, received
word that the Chittalong, belonging to

The arrival of the four-masted
British bark Holt Hill at Queenstown
recently brought relief to many anxi-
Gus people at San Francisco. This
was the vessel supposed to have been
sunk in collision with the Prince
Oscar. As was stated at the time,
the only reason for believing the
Holt Hill to be the vessel was to be
found in the fact that she was spoken
four days before the calamity 400
miles 10 the southwark.
About month ago a sister to the
largest dredger on the coast, the New
Tacoma, which Is now employed by
the owners, the Tacoma Dry Dock
was launched. The new
dredger is being built for levee work
on the San Joaquin river, and for
the same owners. She measures 100
feet in length by so feet in breadth
and 10 feet depth of hold, but when
her engines and boilers are all in and
.eady for work, the draft of the craft
will not exceed 2 feet 6 inches.

A Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small Engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station One generator
can furnish power to your Pumps, Centri
fugals, Elevators, Flows, Railways ant
Hosts also furnish light and power for
radius of from Is to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with hing priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available, il
costs nothing to generate Electric Power.
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY is
now ready to furnish Electric Plants
and Generators of all descriptions at
short notice, and also has on hand
large stock of Wire, Chandeliers, and al

SUGAR MARKETS OF THE WORLD.
Large Increase of Stock in the
Principal Countries.
Beet Sugar and Hongkong Sugar Hav-
ing Their Effect Upon the Import
alton Of other Foreign Sugar.

The demand for refined is fair
and the importations of Hongkong
refined continue in considerable
quantities, say Williams, Dimond
& Co., in their latest circular. The
importation of this sugar, together
with the increasing production of
beet sugar in this state are al
ready having their effect upon
the importations of other foreign
sugars, and had the bounty, &C.
cording to the Mckinley bill, been
continued, this coast, after a short
period, would have supplied
enough sugar for consumption
here, and would doubtless have
been an exporter of sugars.
The increased frmness previ-
ously reported could not be main
tanned, there being sufficient rain
on the continent to favorably inhu-
ence the weight Of the roots and
this has brought out speculative
sellers and resulted in decline of
prices. Our latest mail advices
from Germany of recent dates state
that prices are not expected to go
much higher, particularly for the
present. 1t must be borne in
mind that even with the shortage
in crops that has been reported at
various times, there still remains
at latest uneven dates to August
18th, about $4,000 tons more
stock in all the principal countries
than last year. This must be en-
tirely wiped out before there will
be any actual scarcity Of sugar in
the world. Latest reports from
Java received here recently, state
that out Of a crop of about 100000
tons about 100000 tons have al
ready been sold there, a great part
of which will find its way to
America.
Cuba Crop.-Condition of affairs,
as near as we can learn, continue
about the same as previously adj
vised, and it is impossible at this
time to state anything accurately
concerning the prospects ofthe next
crop, as it is entirely uncertain.
Total stocks Of sugar at four ports |
U. S., Aug. 18th, 279,593 tons
against 372,669 tons last year. |
Total stocks at six principal ports |
of Cuba, by cable same date, 250,- |
900 tons against 25,301 tons last |
year. Total stocks of sugar in all |
the principal countries, 1,770,293 |
tons against 965,1S7 tons at same
time last year. Afloats to the
United States from all countries at |
above dates are estimated at about
10000 tons against 10000 tons last
year.

ANOTHER GREAT CANAL.
One That Will Throw All Others in
the Shade.

The Russians are going to put the
Manchester and North German
canals in the shade. A scheme is on
the tapis for connecting the CrImean
ports of the Black Sea with the Bal
tic ports by means of a canal 1000
miles in length, or about the same as
that of the Imperial canal of China
The starting place Is to be the Port
of Riga, and the waterway would
follow the Dwina, and further Oh, the
Beresins and the Dnieper, at last en-
tering the Black Sea at Cherson.
The depth of waterway is to be 80
feet, and the width go feet, whilst it
Is proposed to connect the towns in
the neighborhood by means of small
er feeding canals. With such a canal
IN existence a vessel steering six
knots would complete the journey In
about six days, and so effect an enor-
nous saving on the sea journey be
tween the Baltic and Black Sea and
other Mediterranean ports, not TO
mention the probable great saving in
cost of the transport as compared
with the overland route.
The estimated cost is f20,0C0,000,
but this, of course, would be nothing
to Russian IN her present fiourishing
(?) condition.-Invention.

SOME SUBJECTS FOR DEBATE.

EaGiish Cnivsrsity students Discussins
Curious Variety OF Questions.
The college debating societies at
Cambridge, England, seem to discuss Z
curious variety of questions. A recent
list OF motions, as given by the Toronto
Mail. includes the, following olio OF
oddities: At Christ's, "That Robinson
ought not to have been frightened at
the footprint in the sand," which ex.
cited . great variety Of opinions, and
ultimately was lost by twenty-six votes
against 10 ayes, eight auditors remain.
ing undecided. At Jesus, the still more
startling proposition was moved, THAT
radicalism spells ruin" which was, OF
course. carried by large majority. AT
Queens disapproval Of "Woman's en-.
croachments upon mans dominion" wa
carried by nineteen to thirteen. And
ut st. Johns the heresy, THAT univer-
sity education units q man for practical
life" was rejected by twenty-six against
six. At Kings the society found them
selves equally divided as to the truth OF
the assertion, "That art had ceased to
exist" At Trinity hall it was decided
THAT political prisoners should wear
the prison dress" At Pembroke a
resolution, "That personal liberty is
too much restricted in this university"
was. singular to say, rejected. Sydney
college voted, by a large majority,
''That the learned professions are not
yet played out" and Cavendish, also, by
large majority, approved Lord Ten
nyson's doctrine, "That to have loved
and lost is better than never to have loved
1T all" Ayerst hall refused to condemn
theaters, and Selwyn voted "That war
Is necessary tn the welfare Of q nation"

PICTURESQUE ABUSE.

An Irish Orator Who Became Decidedly
~ Personal In His Remarks.

somewhat accustomed to the exchange
of supplementary language, but per.
haps no American legislators were even
30 practiced in vituperation as the
members Of the much-lamented, van.
ished Irish parliament on College
green. Somehow they contrive to keep
on friendly private terms while treat
ing one another to most picturesque
abuse. =,
On one occasion. says the Chicago
News, pointing q quivering finger
across the house at his opponent, one
Thaddy Burke concluded with these
words:
"And every mimber of the honorable
gintleman's famille is benayth con-
timpt-from the white-lived hound that
is shivering on the flure to the painted
nag that is grinning in the gallery"
"How did you know that his sister
was in the gallery?" whispered q com.
rade as the orator sat down.
''Shure, didn't Thaddy himself tell
me she was going to be prisint when
we were coming down to the house
after dinner?"
