THREE GIANT LOCOMOTIVES.

The three biggest and strongest passen-
ger locomotives in the whole world will
be placed in service this Fall by the South
ern Railway. Some idea of their strength
may be gathered from the fact that each is
! fully twice as strong as the celebrated 1899"
which belongs TO the New York Central
Railway and hauls the Empire State Ex-
press, nearly three times as strong as the
engine which hauls the Flying sotchman
from London to Edinburgh, and more
| than three times as strong as the engine
which brings the mails from Holyhead'
To put the matter in another way, one of
these engines could haul as much as ten or
dinary elevated railway engines, or four
of the average passenger locomotives used
in this country.
Coupled with theirIextraordinary strength
these engines have remarkable capacity
for high speed. One of them could pull at
the rate of sixty miles an hour on a piece
OF level, straight track, no less than thirty
three Pullman cars, weighing forty tons
each. Such train would be more than
two-ffths of mile long.
The s1x-coupled driving wheels of these
engines are each six feet in diameter, and
the working steam pressure is 200 pounds
to the square inch. The cylinders are of
the ordinary simple type, each twenty-one
inches in diameter with piston stroke of
twenty-eight inches. This gives tractive
force, or draw-bar pull, of 27,468 pounds,
sufficient to haul trainload of 4279 tons,
equal to about eighty-fVe of the largest
loaded freight cars, at slow speed on leyel
track. No Locomotives now running have
so few large combined cylinder area and
steam pressure as these new Goliaths.
You may make the moving parts of q
locomotive as powerful as you please, but
unless there is fire box and a boiler big
enough to match the running gear your
engine will soon be short of steam, with
probable showdown between stations
This catastrope is not likely to happen to
one of these engines-as long as the coal
holds out-for the fire box is 10 feet long
and 81 feet wide, with total heating sur.
face of 1874 square feet, while the boiler is |
8 feet 2 inches in diameter, with tubes |
which give heating surface of no less than
2298 square feet. Soft coal, of which about
tons will be put on the tender at starting,
will be the fuel.
An engine may also have great power
and yet be unable to utilize it, owing to in |
sufficient weight on the driving wheels. |
The total weight of one of these locomo-
tives will be rs tons, of which IS tons will |
rest on the six driving wheels, the remain
ing seventeen tons being carried by the /
four-wheel truck in front Reckoning the |
bite or grip on the rail at ne-fourth the |
weight on the drivers we get an adhesion
of 144 tons, or $4,000 pounds, which is 1910 /
pounds more than the tractive force of the
engine, thus leaving a good margin for
wet weather and slippery rails The
weight Of 10 1-3 tons on each pair of driy-
ers is also unparalleled in the history of /
railroads. To carry this weight with safety
and without heating the journals of each
axle are 81 inches in diameter by II inches
in length. Fancy locomotive journals 2
feet and II in circumference.

TARIFF ON WHEAT.

The "DOver Index" has a chance. It
is capable of learning something, fac
ulty that is almost extinct in the type
of bourbons. For example it used to
contend that the importer paid the tar
if tax. Hear how it has changed its
views:
"The Republican farmer should be
all cut up to think that the foreign
countries, whose demand for wheat
has brought up its price SO well,
haven't a tariff on that cereal. He
claims to think that the home market
is all sufficient, and not To care whether
the foreigners clap on tariffs to pay us
Americans for our treatment of them."
According to this paragraph it is the
exporter who pays the tariff. That is
pretty good Republican doctrine. 1t is
generally true, but not always. 1t is
less likely to be true of things to eat
than of things to wear. Things to eat
are a necessity and they are never i'm
ported by any country until they have
become indispensable. When that time
comes, the importation is made, tariff
or no tariff. Hence a tariff on wheat
by France or England, under their pres
ent necessitous condition would hardly
affect the export price. It would SIM
P9 increase the price of bread across
the water.
1t is different with dress goods, rib
bons, fancy table ware, and indeed
with all those things which can be
made, or at least a substitute for them,
in every civilized country. Such things
are not necessities, therefore they are
largely luxuries, and ordinary men do
not buy imported luxuries unless they
can get them for practically the same
price that they are asked to pay for the
homemade article. The result is that
the exporter must undersell the manu-
facturer of the country to which be
would send his goods, and in that way
he and not the consumer across the
water pays for the tariff. The "Index"
may be able to understand this single
elucidation of we'll known economic
principle.

officers of Kent courts have been issu.
ing writs for the October term to be-
gin on the third Monday. All these
writs will have to be re-issued. The
'Indexn solemnly moralizss:
"This ought certainly to be lesson
to our lawmakers not to pass measures
affecting persons without at least Civ
ing them a hearing with regard to
them"
This is precisely what the Republi-
cans of Delaware have reasonably
asked for the last quarter of a century,
but up to this writing the Index" has
never sustained the request.

Packing Horse MeaJ.

According to the National Provis-
ioner, the Portland (Oregon) Horse
Packing Co.: whose plant is located
at Linton, is now doing thriving
business. Some months ago the
company received an order for 5, 600
barrels of cured horse meat from
dealers in Paris, and the contract is
now being filed The plant, which
has been idle since last fall, was
started up again a few weeks ago
and since that time 800 horses have
been slaughtered Each barrel is
labeled ''horse meat and is thor
oughly Inspected by an inspector
sent from Paris The Paris buyers,
before making this contract, had
the plant thoroughly examined and
satisfied themselves that the pro-
duct would be up to the reqired
standard. The demand for horse
meat in the French capital is said
to be increasing The horses for
the Lintor plant are secured from
eastern Oregon and are what are
known as cayuses, worth on the
market about So 80 each on an aver
age. The horse packing company
expects to build up large business
with Paris dealers, hoping also tc
find market in Japan and China.
Every part Of the horse is utilized.

MADRID, Aug. lO.-Senor Canovas

with his wife. was present yesterday
morning at the celebration of mass in
the chapel attached to the baths at
Santa Agueda, a famous health resort
near San Sebastian, and after the SER

some reporters, when an italian ap-
preached, and, drawing a revolver,
without word fired three shots at
him, hitting him in the forehead, the
chest and the left ear. The wounded
man fell to the ground crying "Assas
sin! Long live Spain!'
Sonora Castillo, wife of the premier,
who was but short distance away,
rushed to her husbands side upon
hearing the shots. AS the premier
lay dying upon the ground she bit

crime, and the wretch replied: II re-

that they had to endure before MAX
ing avowals of their crime and giving
the names of their accomplices can be
traced direct the assassination Of Can

that when Canovas del Castillo was

NEW YORK POSTAL PLAN.

Brooklyn to BE Reduced to an Or
dinary Numbered Station.
The post office department has prac-
tically completed the plan it will follow
with reference to the revision of the
postal service of Greater New York
when the charter goes into effect OH:
January 1 next.
This plan contemplates the submis--
sion of a recommendation to congress
by the postmaster general urging re-.
peal of the law making Brooklyn "a
presidential office. AS soon as the law
is repealed an order will be issued de-
grading the presidential and fourth
class offices within the boundaries os
Greater New York to substations. 1t
IS proposed by the postmaster general
that provision be made for creating the.
office of superintendent for what is now
the Brooklyn post office at salary
which will compensate him for his
work and responsibility. The post
master of Brooklyn receives $4,000 Ii
year, and if the wishes of the depart
ment officials are followed the super
intendent will not receive much less.
1t has finally been determined not to
recommend an increase of the $4,000
salary of the postmaster of New York
Including Brooklyn, there are 21 pres
idential post offices within the boun-
daries of Greater New York with sal
aries amounting to $4,000 year There
is a large nul lhber of fourth-class offices,
and the postmasters holding these sit
uations draw less than 1000 year.
