EN- ROUTE TO TURKEY

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Admiral Self
ridge cabled the navy department today
that he had put in with his flag ship San
Francisco at Naples to get his mail. He
will proceed directely to Alexandretta,
where he should arrive about Friday
next, and will then be in a position to
extend aid to the Americans and Euro
peans in that section in the event OF
further uprising. The Turkish situation
is absorbing the attention of the State
department at present and due notice is
taken of the various resolutions adopted
by the many religious organizations in
the United States.
Considering the terribly disturbed con-
ditions in Armenia, II is believed at the
state department that Minister Terrell
has been remarkably successful in his
aries and teachers. So far as the mis-
fortunes Of the native Christians are
concerned, while they may properly ex-
cite the sympathy Of the entire Christian
world the state department claims there
is no warrant for interference on the part
of the United States, the Armenians be-
ing Turkish subjects for whose religious
freedom the great European powers are
responsible.
Any interposition by the United States
would be not only in violation OF our
traditions, but might be used, II IS SAID SAID
as n powerful argument to justify EURO
mean interference in affairs of the Amer
lean republic.
In regard to the rumor that Minister
Terrell has rendered his resignation, It
may be stated that the department OF
state is satisfied with his conduct in every
particular, that it has lent all possible
support to him, and that no reason IL
known that would justify the assumption
that he intends to desert his post In the
present Crisis.
AMERICAN BIDS ACCEPTED.
London, Nov. 1S.-A private dispatch
has been received here from st. Peters
burg confirming advices previously re-
ceiyed from New York and elsewhere
that the Bethlehem company's and the
Carnegie Iron companys tenders for fur
nishing the armor plating for two new
Russian warships in course OK construc-
tion have been accepted and that the
American firms have been awarded three
quarters Of the entire order.
THE SULTAN NEEDS FRIENDS.
London, Nov. ia dispatch from
Vienna to the Sentinel says the sultan
| is now negotiating for the purpose OF
granting the Turkish tobacco monopoly
to a company, giving an extended CON
cession in exchange for the loan. OF q
million pounds. The sultan according to
the Vienna correspondent OF the Stand
ard, also talks of asking the powers TO
assist in raising loan for military ex-
penses, hoping thereby to suppress the
prevailing disorders.
dispatch to the Standard from Con
stantinople says the sultan yesterday
called on the ministers to devise plans
for mobilizing half million troops. IL
being limited that the treasury was empty
the sultan flew into passion and several
ministers rendered their designations,
which were not accepted.

SUBURBAN ELECTRIC TRAINS.

The Illinois Central Railway company Will,
inside of eighteen months, change tn motIVs
power on its Chicago SUBURBAN service iron!
locomotives to electricity. The Importance
of this prospective movement, says the
Times-Herald, can be fully appreciated by
these who are working to make the Lake
Front park the most attractive breathing
SPOT in Chicago. The smoking locomotives
OF the Illinois Central are a menace to the
suCcesD of any plans yet suggested. The sub
stituticn of electricity will removs this ona
obstacle, and it may now be stated posi-
lively that the change will have been made
by tho time the new park is dedicated TO the
uses of the people.
Central fully Intended TO use electricity on its
Worlds fair service, which was installed In
May, 1893. The engineers OF The road, AFTER
making a thorough examination OF the Varl-
cup systems then in us In. the united states
and Europe, reported the feasibility OF the
project, but 1t was found that the work
could not be completed in time. The com,
pary then laid two new tracks, ana devoted
them exclusively to an express service pc
tween Randolph street ana the exposition
grounds. The wonderful success OF this strv-
ice. and its popularity with the public, was
not lost to the railroad officials, VINO saw IN
IL a suggestion which has resulted III the
establishment of a permanent suburban ssrv-
ice, which, in some respects, is not eKceliea
by any In this country or abroad.
1t may safely be asserted that no. only the
Illinois Central, but all other railroads op-
Grating a suburban service, Will be compelled,
on the ground of economy to discard loco
motives and adopt electricity.
ELECTRICITY IN COAL MINES
Is the present position of power distribu-
ton by electricity such that we may use 1t
with confidence for the whole of the power
reuuired at a colliery? asks a writer in Cas-
sier's Magazine. The authors answer to this
is yes.
The largest engine at a colliery Is the
winding engine, and suppose this to require
to be capable of developing power at full
Spsed of / 900 horse power, which Is an out
SIDE figure. This could be well replaced by
two motors of 500-horse power, one on each
end Of the shaft Of the drum, without gear
ing. There are numerous cases OF dynamos
and motors Of this power working with ease
and satisfaction and giving no difficulty
whatever. and operated by ordinary mechan-
les with no more trouble than an ordinary
steam engine. Motors Of smaller size are In
use all over the world with universal satis-
faction.
Are the claims made fer efficiency OF cleo
trio distribution Of power realized? On this
point the author has examined carefully tests
made by himself and by others on electric
power plants, and has arrived at this conclu-
slon-while the efficiency of distributing cleo
trio power and its utilization In the motors
does come up to that claim. the efficiency

rule. as high as Is claimed. or as high as
may be realized, and the reason Is that sum
cient account Is not taken of the fact That
the average load is considerably lsss than the
maximum requirement. In one known case,
where the efficiency of electric generation,
that is, the proportion between the electric
power delivered TO the cables and the indl-
Gated horsepower Of the engine, Is as high as
So per cent at full load, 1t falls to "a per
cent at half load, and to about 5S per cent al
one-quarter load. The reason for this Is TO
be found in the power the engine takes 70
drive itself. The engine is generally arranged
to work with an economical cutoff at the
full load or maximum power, and conse,
quently is larger than necessary for all
smaller loads. It should be arranged to work
with an economical cutoff at the average
power. The moral is TO use engines with au-
tomato expansion valves, permitting the en-
CINE to work with a cutoff as late as half or
fye-eighths Of the total cylinder volume when
developing the maximum power, and working
with a more economical grade OF expansion at
the average load,
