PROF. BEMIS' FIGURES.
Show That Chicago Streetcar Compa-
MES Can Stand 4-Cent Fares.

Chicago, March 8.-Prof. Bernis of
the University Of Chicago is compiling
statistical report of the actual cost
of construction and maintenance of
street railways in the city of Chicago
that is said to be the most compre-
hensive report of its kind ever attempt
ed in the United States. Prof. Bemis
is collaborating with George Schilling,
the state statistician.
Word comes from Springfield that
made the basis of a stubborn fight to
enact a Accent fare bill during the pres
ent session of the Legislature. Repre-
troduced reduced fare measure in the
promised is overwhelming, ana that the
corporation lobby will not be able to
defeat the bill.
Senator Dwyer has introduced a SIM
liar measure in the upper house, and
predicts the hardest fight of the ses-
sion when it is called up for passage.
Both these Accent fare champions claim
that the efforts of the street car trust
to smother the measures will be fu-
tile.
Strenuous efforts have been made by
the street car people to delay the pub
hcation of the figures now being pre-
pared by Prof. Bemis and Statistician
Schilling regarding the actual cost of
their properties. The contents of the
report have been carefully guarded, but
enough has leaked out to justify the
claim of a promised sensation.

Washington, March S.-The crowd

departing-al but the .office-seekers
These have taken up a temporary resi-
dence in the capital city, and will not
leave 1t until they have definite news
of the failure or success of their as
pirationS. There is a small army of
them. For every one who is made joy
full, 20 will go back disappointed. This
is inevitable, for the number of offices
which President Mckinley has to dis
tribute is limited.
The small number of offices within

ing the government. To many the linn
tied supply of places was known before
they came here, but they were in hopes
that President Mckinley would nullify
some of President Cleveland's civil SER
vice orders. The presidents inaugur-
al has diSpeHed this hope.
Among those who jOurneyed from

to- do when he got here was to go to the
White house, see the president. make

ANOTHER WAR FOR SPAIN.
Probability That She Will Become
Involved With Japan.

London, March S-The long overdue
schooner, Vine, which left this city on
trading trip to the South Sea Islands last
June has arrived in port with important
news from the South seas regarding
possible war between Japan and Spain.
Capt. Luttren brought advices form
the Caroline islands of happenings which
may involve Spain in another war, this
time with the ambitious japanese. The
natives on the Buk islands, a part of the
Caroline group, which belongs to Spain
are very ferocious when foreigners at
tempt to land and all trading with the
islanders must be done by other natives.
The islanders are almost all cannibals.
They refused to become civilized and
wear no clothing.
A number of Japanese traders have re-

REVENUE FROM THE BALL.
About $500 Cash Tickets Collected
at the Inaugural

Washington, D. c., March S.-From
partial reports made it is estimated
that $500 cash tickets were collected at
the inaugural ball, representing $46,-
500.
In the agreement between the inau-
gural committee and Carl G. Essner,
who had the supper contract. there is
a guarantee by the committee of 5000
suppers, and under this guarantee the
committee will be compelled to pay MT
Essner the difference between the
number of tickets used and the num-
Der guaranteed, which means that the
banquet will probably result in a loss
of from 81, 900 to SO. 600 to the committee.
Chairman Bell is hopeful that the num-
ber of supper tickets sold Will be
enough to make good the deficit.

NEW WAVE MOTOR.
Expected to Successfully Utilize the
Ocean for Driving Machinery.

Los Angeles, Cal, March 8.-A public
test of new wave motor has been made
on the beach three miles from Redondo
from the end of 100-foot wharf. Parvin
Wright of this city, the inventor, con-
Quoted the experiments in the presence of
twenty capitalists and inventors. By
means of the float a hydraulic compressor
was actuated, forcing the water into a
pressure tank under a working pressure
of 400 pounds to the square inch The wa
ter pressure tank operates Pelton wheel,
which drives any kind of machinery.
In the test made electric generator
was used and circular saw. Where the
machinery was located 500 feet from the
beach with a four-foot tide and Clio float,
five-horse power was easily generated.
The machine is automatically self-regu-
lating and is arranged that during
storm periods more than a given
amount of power or pressure can be ac-
cumulated.
Wright says the failure to provide such
a device has heretofore rendered all wave
motors useless. Further experiments will
be made at a greater distance from the
beach.
Wright figures that during the minimum
wave movement he will develop one-hOrSe
power on every foot of ocean frontage
used. The cost of steady power at the
coast will not exceed SO per horse power
per Annum- Power can be delivered in
Los Angeles for S25 about one-third the
present cost Mr.. Wright has had his
wave motor patented in Germany, France
and England.

MONKEY WRENCH IN TREE.
Large Cottonwood Returns a Tool
Lost for 40 Years

Decatur, Neb., March S.-There was
recently cut down on one of the town
lots of Mr.. James Ashley, a wealthy
land owner of this place, a very large
cottonwood tree, measuring at the butt
five feet through. It was cut up into
stove wood lengths, and in the center
of the butt block was found a well pre-
served monkey wrench. The tree is 40
years old, if a day.
Mr.. Garfield, cashier of the City
bank, unravels the strange mystery. He
is a pioneer settler of this town and
was one of the three men who could claim
the honor in those days of being the
proud possessor of a complete kit of
carpenter tools. A Mr.. Thompson built
a house on this lot, and shortly after
it's completion Mr.. Garfield and his
family moved in. To the left of the
house were some switches-miniature
cottonwood trees. His only little girl
borrowed the tool one day and in the
evening it was missing. A search was
instituted, but the monkey wrench was
never seen afterward. The supposition
is the little girl hung the wrench in the
crotch of one of these trees and it grew
there.

WEARING SHORT SKIRTS.
Action of the BaItim ore Members of
the Rainy Day Club

Baltimore, March s.-This was the
first rainy and muddy day in March in
this city, and some 200 of the $50 mem
bers of the Women's Rainy Day club
kept the pledge they had signed and
appeared on the streets in skirts that
swung three inches or more from the
ground.
1t was a noticeable fact, however, that
nearly every one of them wore dainty
new boots with fancy kid tops. Not a
few, through force of ha bit, when cross
ing the muddy. streets, involuntarily
clutched at the back of their skirts and
thoughtlessly raised them higher than
they would have done had they been
longer. Some wore rain boots, with
stout soles. but few, if any, wore rub
bers.
Every member of the club who
could get out did so, just to show her
colors, as one said coquettishly. Some
of the short skirts were worn by middle
aged women, but the majority of the
wearers were under 80 or looked to be.
Nearly all had a shorter appearance,
and the very plump girls looked dumpy
but every one seemed happy in the
emancipation from long, bedraggled
petticOats.

The ship was built for passenger ser

was launched in 1856, and was noted
in her day for her rapid trips across
the ocean. When the civil war broke
out Commodore Vanderbilt gave her
outright for the sum of 81 to President
Lincoln.
The Vanderbilt-for that was the ves-

she lay at Hampton Roads waiting for
the Merrimac to come out far enough
