FIFTY-FOURTH CONGRESS
Few Features Of Interest at First Scs.
sion Aside from the Presi.
dents Message.

Washington. Dec. 1.-The first day of
the second session of the Fifty-fourth
congress presented no remarkable fea =
lures. The presidents annual message
was read without apparently evoKing
any special interest. The only excep-
tion to that rule was as to the portions
of the message devoted to Armenian
outrageS and to the revolution in Cuba.
On the first of these subjects the .presi =
dent states his belief that the present
sombre prospect in Turkey will not be
long permitted to offend the sight of
christendom."
The presidents discussion of the Gu
ban question is extensive and impartial
but its summing up indicates the tenn
per and views of the administration.
II is in these words: when the inabil-
ity of Spain to deal successfully with
the i1surrection has become manifest
situation will be presented in which
our obligations to the sovereignty of
Spain will be superseded by higher OBJ
legations, which we can hardly hesitate
to recognize and discharge
These declarations appeared to obtain
general favor and approval.
The message covered Is printed pam
Dhlet pages and its reading occupied
one hour and fifty minutes. The mes =
sage was laid on the table and at 3.3J
p. IN. the senate adjourned until to-
morrow.
The house devoted the first day of
the session principally to hearing the
presidents message.
Mr.. w. ID. Stokes. reelected from the
Seventh South Carolina district, was
sworn in.
The first of the general appropriation
bills for the coming fiscal year-the
pensions-was reported from the ap-
propriations committee and placed on
the calendar.
The death of ex-Speaker Crisp was
announced by Mr.. Turner democrat, t,

respect to his memory, adjourned until
tomorrow.

Uncle Charles Dana Calls Attention
to Portions Of Message.

New York. Dec. 7.-Commenting upon
President Cleveland's message to con-
gress the principal metropolitan dailies
will say:
The Sun-The last annual message
which Mr.. Cleveland will ever write
as president adds little to the public
knowledge concerning any of the great
questions that affect this country in
its exterior relations or its domestic
policy.
The imminent and supremely import
ant question of our duty and RESPONSE
bility to Cuba Is disposed of in a con-
venient manner. The Cuban chapter Is
ably written in a style differing con-
spicuously from the opening and closing
paragraphs of the message. Its state
ments and suggestions hold the atten-
tiOn closely until you come to the dis
heartening conclusion. In well balanc-
ed period, sympathy for the struggling
patriots and friendship and admiration
for Spain are equally dispensed.
The foremost domestic question, that
of the startling inadeQuacy of our rev.
enues, is discussed by Mr.. Cleveland as
cheerfully as II he had had nothing to
do with the dreful situation confront
ing us.
With the happy consciousness of
having unlOaded everything this Won
derful statesman winds uD his last
message to congress with a beautiful
tribute to himself.
His confiding fellow countrymen will
not doubt that the final paragraph, at
least, Is Mr.. Cleveland's own. Only
two men who ever lived could have
written it. and Mr.. Pecksniff is dead"

WONDERFUL FEATS OF STRENGTH
An Expert Observers Ride on n Rcvo-

able speed with FIFTY Loaded
Freight Ours.

Copyright, 1896 by s. s. Mcclure Coz
Some time during the first week in No
vember the three mammoth electric loco
motives owned by the Baltimore 6 Ohio
Railroad company will begin to haul all
the passenger trains OF that line, in addi-
tlon to the freight trains through the tunnel
which runs under the city OF Baltimore.
This will be the first piece of trunk train
line ever operated by electricity, and the
departure from the established railroad prac-
tice Is attracting the attention OF railway
and electrical experts all over the world.
For several months past these electric
locomotives have been successfully hauling
all the freight traffic OF the Baltimore d
Ohio line through the tunnel, and while
in Baltimore recently | accompanied the
engineer Of locomotive No. on one OF his
regular trips. Following Is record OF my
impressions and conclusions:
The steps at the side OF the big Baltimore

gineer in charge and the electrical superin-
tendent, Mr.. Shepard Once inside OF the
cab however, l found all my previously
associated ideas with a locomotive foot
plate rudely upset

section. On the top of this box was the
customary throttle-valve handle OF steam
locomotive, with its notched quadrant for
keeping 1t fixed at any point where the
engineer desired to set it. Attached to
one side of the box was the frame in which
the reversing lever moved from full forward
to full back. Above the box was a large
gauge which registered up to 5000 instead

There was considerable OF stir created

the appointment will be allowed to stand
In all the reports OF the organization OF
the new board OF commissioners 1t has been
stated that 1t would be patterned after the
Southwestern Traffic association. II this Ia
correct. the work of the commissioners will
be of such extent as to prevent their giving
much, If any time to the freight business
OF their respective roads. Many OF tho
local freight men are inclined to believe
that 1t will mean Mr.. Munroe's resignation

Pacific Should he continue In his present
position 1t will doubtless be found that tho

Assistant General Freight Agent Wood OF
the Union Pacific was rather increduous as
to the truth of the report He had heard
nothing from MIR Munroe on the matter.
He expressed surprise that the commissions

the Missouri river, when the control OF the

NINETY-sIx TON ELECTRIC ENGINE.

The cab is large and rOomy, and contains
in addition 10 the apparatus already men
toned, an electric air pump for charging
the brake reservoir. The compressed air
whistle with which the engine is filled is as
loud and shril as that OF any steam loco
motive
The eight wheels of the electric engine
are each five feet two inches In diameter.
Each pair has its own motor, OF 800 nomi-
nal horse power, but capable OF developing
the power considerably in excess OF that
limit. The motion OF each armature is de-
livered to the wheels by five steel arms,
which fit in between the spokes near the
rim.
HAULING POWER.
The limit of the hauling power of one
OF these electric engines has not yet been
reached, owing to the weakness OF the
coupling which holds the train together.
The best hitherto recorded performance has
been the hauling of a train of forty-four
loaded freight cars and three engines,
weighing altogether 900 tons While this
train was on the upgrade a pin came out
In one OF the couplings. AS soon as this
defect was repaired the electric locomotive
started the entire train with stretched
couplings and accelerated its speed until
1t reached twelve miles an hour. On an
other occasion thirty-eight loaded freight
cars and an attached steam engine were
hauled through the upgrade at speed
Of twenty-three miles an hour. Trains OF
500 tons in weight have been taken through
the tunnel on the upgrade at forty miles
an hour
The electric engines not only haul trains,
but give the weight of them. 1t has been
found by experiment that IL requires IA
amperes OF current to drive the engine by
itself II has also been found that each
ampere of current eXerts draw-bar pull OF
ESQ pounds. So that by taking the number
of amperes recorded on the gauge, sub
ri nt
self, multiplying the remainder by ESQ, and
diving the product in pounds by the draw
train in tons. This is apparently matter
for experts alone, but when electric trac-
ton comes into general use on trunk line
railways, 1t will have a profound effect on
the management OF traffic because the best
equipped lines will insist that other rail-
ways sending them cars for through trans
portation will keep them up to the highest
standard of running efficiency. ~.
Half an hour after the electric locomotive
had been placed in her siding a freight
train, consisting of thirty-fve loaded cars
and two steam engines, came along. and
No. promptly backed up and took charge
of 1t. 1t pulled the train with steam shut
off on the engines. over the upgrade in
the tunnel. with as much apparent ease as
If ii had been going alone. There was the
same absence of effort or straining, and
the speed was constantly accelerated until
the power was shut OF
II don't know how much one of these
electric engines can pull" remarked Mr..
Shepard, but | know that we have had
more current on one of them than would
be sufficient to drive all the trolley cars
in Baltimore" L. III. MULLIN.
