several years. In 1854 he moved with his
family to Reading, Mass, and there made
his first appearance in public as Father

Japan Advertiser Suggests Calling
Arbfter.
In speaking of the Hawaiian-Japa-
nese affair, the Japan Advertiser says:
England, France, Germany and Rus
sia have, together with other minor
powers, shown their sympathy with
Japan in the matter for the simple
reason that justice and right are on
her side For this reason it will prove
better for Hawaii if she quickly COM
plies with the Japanese demands.
There is always some delay in settling
matters of the sort. Japan is not well
versed in matters of diplomacy, and
for that reason it is wrong to call the
present attitude of Hawaii stubborn.
If Japan presses her point steadily, but
firmly, Honolulu will probably give
way, and, if she does not, then she
will call in some other power as ar
bitter in the matter.

out at first, and Clarke and Woods
dropped on double play. People who
backed the st. Louis boys lost some
OF their hope, and were almost willing
10 hand the game and money over to

fact that everything depended upon
good work in the field. Thompson was
ready between first and second to
catch fly struck by Hart. Cunha hit
safe for one, and took second on Ma
hukas hit. Lishman made a hit for
one, and advanced the others. Then
Pahau and Ross dropped at first, and
the game was still tie.
Enthusiasm ran higher than at any
time during the season The multitude
was clearly in sympathy with the st.
Louis boys, and when they made four
runs in their part of the tenth inning

tailed two, the crowd shouted the

JAPAN'S REPLY.
1t is Said Hawairs Communication
Is Not Courteous.


YOKOHAMA. June 10.-The Koku-
min this morning gives what it terms
an outline of the instructions sent to
Mr.. Shimamura at Honolulu, after the
receipt of the recent reply from Ha-
wall This outline" however, is very
vague 1t is set out that the communi-
cation from Hawaii is not couched in
terms of such courtesy as should be
observed between nations, and the
conviction is expressed that this atti-
tude on the part of so insignificant a
state is due to it's possession or eXpec-
tation of some outside support. 1t
must be plain that from the outset ia
pan desired and hoped to settle the
present question in an amicable fash
ion, and did not intend to resort to
force. Further, Japanese emigrants
are going to South America and to
other countries, where a cordial well
come has been extended to them, so
that it will be seen that it is not to
Hawaii only that Japanese proceed. 1t
is suggested, finally, that the Hawai-
ian Government should give the mat
ter little more consideration.

The Sugar Beet Question.

Just now see a great deal said about
the sugar beet, and as usual I have my
weather eye open to see what there is
in this talk about making our own SUI
gar, and thus saving round hundred
million dollars year, now spent by
our people abroad for the sweets of
the table, writes Jacob Bicycle in Farm
Journal. The new secretary of agricul-
ture has taken up the beet sugar uues-
ton with much zeal, having already
sent out many thousands of packages
of beet seed for trial with full direc
tons how to grow the roots. The news
papers are booming the scheme and
urging the Importance of no longer de-
pending upon foreign sugar, and we
are likely to have quite craze over
the matter within the next year or
two. The idea is a good one, to be
sure: we ought and can produce our
own sugar, and in time will do so.
But it will be best to move cautiously
in that direction. So far as am able
to learn, much the larger part of our
territory is totally untitled to the prof
liable production of the sugar beet.
Probably in no place east of the Mis-
sissippi river south Of the latitude of
Chicago, can our farmers ever expect
to make the cultivation of the sugar
beet profitable experiment. There
are, it is true, restricted localities in
this section (west Of Pennsylvania and

Wide Tires q Benefit to Roads.

Elaborate tests of the draft of wide
and narrow tired wagons have just
been completed by the Missouri Agri-
cultural college experiment station, Co.
lumbia, extending over a period of a
year and half. These tests have
been made on macadam, gravel and
dirt roads in all conditions, and also
on the meadows and plowed fields OF
the experimental farm. Contrary to
public expectation, in nearly all cases
draft was materially lighter when tires
six inches wide were used, than with
tires of standard width. The load
hauled was in all cases the same, and
the draft was most carefully deter
mined by means of self-recording
dynamometer. The beneficial effect OF
the wide tire On dirt roads is striking
~ shown in some recent tests at the
station, the Columbia Herald says. A
clay road, badly cut into ruts by the
narrow tires, was selected Tor the test.
as presenting conditions least favor
able to the broad tire. A number OF
tests of the draft of the narrow tire
were made in these open ruts, and i'm
mediately followed by the broad tires
running in the same ruts. The first
run of the broad tire over the narrow
tire ruts was accompanied by an in
creased draft; the second by a draft
materially less than the original mar
row tire, third by a still greater de-
cline and in the fourth trip the rut was
practically obliterated and filled. In
another trial, when a clay road was
so badly cut into ruts as to be almost
impossible for light vehicles and pleas.
ure carriages, after running the six
inch tires over this road twelve times

the experiments made by his road with
the third-rail electric system recently.
Mr.. Clark goes several steps farther
than most of the railroad people who
have considered the introduction of
electricity on long distance roads,
though an official of the Pennsylvania
railroad said year ago that in his
opinion it was only question of time
when the electric motor would take
the place of the locomotive operated
by steam power on all the railroads in
America. The Pennsylvania is one of
the lines which has been experiment.
lrg with electricity as a substitute for
steam, but its work has been done very
quietly and the world has heard very
little of what it has done. One of it's
short lines has been operated for more
than year by the trolley system and
within the last six months it has
equipped it's Turtle Creek branch with
2 trolley wire and electric motors with
a view to proving still further the
availability of electricity. This Turtle
Creek line runs past the works of the
Westinghouse Electric company, near
Plttsburg, and it is equipped with the
Westinghouse motors.
Another line which has been making
use OF electricity for short distances
FOR two years is the Baltimore and
Ohio. 1t has a trolley system in the
tunnel at Baltimore through which its
through trains all run. This system
was introduced not for the purpose of
operating more economically or quick
ly, but to relieve the tunnel of its ter
rors-the smoke and cinders from the
steam locomotive. For the same rea-

substitute for steam, and he speaks
therefore with more authority. He
started out at summer resort near
Boston, Nantasket, finding it necessary
to compete with the trolley lines with
which the whole of Massachusetts is
being gridironed rapidly. The expert
mental line was operated by trolley.
The cars put on were heavy, and
mounted on high trucks provided with
regular railroad springs. In other
words, the general construction was
like that of railroad, with lines of
seats running at right angles with the
track. They were provided with cleo
trio headlights and a whistle operated
by compressed air. These cars took
excursionists between Pemberton land
ing and Nantasket for a scent fare
and they were operated successfully at
a profit. The experiment proved, by
an entire seasons work, that it was
cheaper to generate power in sta
tlonary plant and transmit it to the
cars over wire than to generate
it at the head of the train. After
that experiments were made with
heavy loads, and the electric motors
pulled 1000 tons of dead weight on
a level track with ease. -.... .....

I'm the winter of 1892 we made a.
very thorough investigation, hoping to
be able to introduce electricity in the
movement of our trains to and from
the Worlds Fair, to be held in Chi
cago. In 1898. The results were not
such as to induce US to make the
change at that time, but in the mean
while the chief engineer of the COM
pany, Mr.. ]. F. Wallace, has been
carefully watching the development
OF electrical appliances, and it is now
beheved that the science has reached
the point where it will be safe to
make the change. It is not at all de-
termlned what system will be used
nor have we any close estimates as to
Cost, either of construction, installa-
ton or operation. These matters are,
however, being Investigated, and in
due course we look to see the new
power applied. In reply to your last
questlon-is it practicable to substi-
tute electricity on the main line'-that
is to say, in the general operation of
the railroad, I have no hesitancy in
saying no."
1t will be observed that the cOnclu-
sions OF Mr.. Fish as to the possibilities
OF long-distance operation by electric
ity differ from those of President
Clark, and, I may add, they agree with
those Of electricians and men inter-
ested in the introduction of electric
motors. In fact, the makers of elec-
trio locomotives came to the conclu-
sion a long time ago that it would not
be possible in the present DEVELOPMENT
of the motor to use it on any but
short lines, or lines on which there
was a constant succession of trains,
like, for example, the lines between
New York and Philadelphia On long
stretches of road, where perhaps no
more than two through passenger
trains and two or three locals are run
in each direction every day, the opera
ton of the road by trolley, they say,
would be too expensive. Power houses
must be established at certain inter-
walls, and the operation of these and
the waste of current by leakage from
the wire must be taken into considera-
ton. Electricity on street railroads is
an economical motive power because
OF the number of cars in operation.
On some lines, where the traffic is
small, the trolley system is more ex-
pensive than the old horse power line.
Mr.. Clark has gone beyond any of
the other railroad men OF this country
in his experiments with electricity as a

east of the MississippD, fairly well
adapted to the business, but shall ex-
pect never to see a successful sugar
making plant getting it's supply of beets
at home, anywhere in this territory.
Therefore, would advise our excellent
Secretary of Agriculture to go slow in
pushing this scheme here, and caution
our farmers not to waste much time
and labor over the project. A few
years ago sugar-making scheme was
launched in northern Delaware, and
large factory was built near Whining
ton, by leading capitalists of that city.
IL was very promising, but it was
dead failure. A gentleman thoroughly
conVersant with the enterprise in all
Its details, informs me that they had a
splendid factory, fully equipped for
making raw sugar, but they could not
get the beets. The climate and soil OF
New Jersey, Delaware and eastern
pennsylvania, he says, are not adapted
to the growth of sugar beets. 1.-The
beets will grow and grow big but the
sugar goes out of them too quickly.
or never comes into them in sufficient
quantity to pay. The farmers did not
take kindly to the experiment, and we
had to grow our own beets."
