the device after seeing It's work
The object of the device ~ to pro-
vide an accurate and reliable remind
er signal and distance Indicator for
locomotives by means OF which engi-
neers are prevented from forgetting
their train orders as 20 stopping or
meeting points. This mechanism Is
simple but positively connected with
the forward trucks Of the engine,
thereby accurately measuring the dts
lance Travelled, the dial-placed In
front Of the engineer showing cor
recuy the distance Travelled. Above
the smaller of the two dlais are placed
fifteen triggers or dogs, plvoted at
equal distances around the center.
When the engineer receives his orders
he sets one or more OF thegu triggers
to point one mile short OF the dis
lance to be Travelled before reaching
the stopping places. The mileage in
dicator, on reaching such point, re-
leases the trigger, which starts a sig
nal whistle blowing. This continues
to blow for one-quarter OF a mile
promptly warning the engineer of the
near approach TO stopping places. II
the engineer is inattentive and falls to
stop when this last mile has been run
over the machine sets the air brake
ana stops the train for him. A train
similarly equipped coming In the OPP
posite direction would be stopped in
tIle same manner. Inc device can be
made to run forward OF backward.
For fOggy or stormy weather or for
darkness the device is considered es-
pecinlly valuable for ordinary road
use. although its life-saving feature
was the point at first sought for by
Mr.. Wallace.
After a trial on the st Paul and
Duluth and repeated trials on the Fer
gus Falls division of the Great North
ern. the new invention was given nm
unusual test on the recent trip OF
President j. ]. Hill to the coast and
back
For this trip the new scheme Of one
engine. No. 653, with Engineer John
Wilbane for the entire trip, was tried
and the new life-savinr device was on
the engine. For the i.S20 miles to Seat
tie on the Great Northern, 40 miles to
Portland on the Northern Pacific. $50
to Spokane on the Oregon Railway
and Navigation campany and through
Montana, back to st. Paul the new de-
vice measured all distances with ac-
curracy, and by other tests, completely
demonstrated its ability to do all
claimed for it. President I'm has APP
proved IT with considerable enthusiasm
as have other officials on the road
During the mast few months this new
device has been used successfully over
1000 miles of road A peculiar feature
of the test Is that It has becn made
with the inventors working model.

lie Says Opposition to Annexation In ia-

Washington, Oct1.-Admiral Boards
lee who has been in command of the
Pacific station three years. returned to
Washington today and called upon
Secretary Long and Secretary Sher-
man. with the latter h went to the
White house and called upon Presi-
dent Mckinley. The admiral in II
short time will make an informal re-
port to Secretary Long, giving his
Views and opinions Of the Hawaiian
situation and such information as he
has gained during his long stay at the
islands. The administration is an
Nious to have a general review Of the
island from such an Intelligent cNper-
fenced source as Admiral Beurdslee.
Speaking Of the reported opposition
to annexation the admiral said today
that 1t amounts to little. The substan-
tial business interests on the islands
with few exceptions favor annexation.
These exceptions may be able to work
up some opposition among the natives,
but nothing of any consequence in his
opinion can come of 1t. The interest Of
some persons in annexation is apa-
thetic, but they accept it as the best
horn OF dilemma.
