1T LAYS IT'S OWN TRACK.
Odd Machine That Tailor Bergsten
Rode Into Chicago.

Chicago, March S.-John Bergsten,
tailor of Amelia, Neb., made his entree
into the city Saturday night in a sin
Sularly unconventional manner. So I'M
canny was his method of ingress that
before he reached Western avenue the
police intercepted him, being fearful of
a panic among the horses and pedes-
TRANS in the thoroughfare along which
he was proceeding.
Perched inside of the intricate contri-
vance, which he calls a track laying
road carriage Bergsten had by dint
of extraordinary perseverance and en-
durance propelled its cumbersome bulk
over every condition of roadway from
the little Nebraska hamlet 900 miles to
Chicago.
The feature of the machine is that it
carries its own track, which, jointed to-
gether in an endless belt of ten sec
tons, surrounds the vechile. The We
h1cle itself resembles a four wheeled car
truck and is crudely built of white pine
Even the wheels are made of wood
Strips of battered tin serve for fianges
and for the track surface
AS impulse is given TO the carriage the
reel reVOlVes. carrying with it the end
less track which proceeds continuously
underneath the trucks over the upper
supporting wheels and around the reel
The track is very loosely jointed and by
a clever steering arrangement is swer-
we'd from right to left at will.
The whole machine weighs about 800
pounds. After exhibiting his handiWork
at a local dime museum for two weeks
Bergsten will ride the machine to Wash
ingtOn, where he will endeaVOr to have
it patented.
If successful the sturdy Swede will
make like machines of steel and reduce
their weight to- so pounds He claims
that the track feature will make the
machines independent of rough roads
and that their speed will be double that
of the bicVcle

BOOTHS PATRIOTIC.
The Am erican Volunteers Celebrate
Their First Anniversary.


New York, March S.-The first an
niversary of the founding of the Ameri-
can Volunteers was celebrated yester-
day by two big meetings at the Metro
politan Temple in the afternoon and at
Cooper Union in the evening. At the
meeting last night Commander Balling-
ton Booth said:
During the twelve years of our
Christian labor in this country we tried
to Americanize the Salvation Army,
because we naturally and rightly con-
Sidered that a country that had pro-
crossed as America has. was capable
of governing it's own property, it's own
resources and training its own officers
without interference from a foreign
quarter.
For eleven years we labored I'M
ceaSiRgly to Americanize the Salvation
Army in this country. and were it not
for the interference brought to bear
upon us under a foreign international
policy we would have remained under
the old nag.
I'VE were confronted with the diff
Guilty of standing by our flag or aban-
doning our policy of AmerfcaniZing the
Army in America. and we unhesitating-
ly sent back the answer: We will
stand by the constitution and govern
ment of the United States
1T is not right that any movement,
either civil. religious or military. in this
country should submit to the govern
ment of a foreign power. Though we
lose all. and life, too. in the bargain,
we will stand by the American people"
Commander Booth will probably COM
mission 500 officers in Association hall
tonight

DIR. LIvINGsTONE's HEART.
The Tree Which Marks its Tomb is
Decaying.

London, March S.-Some extremely
interesting particulars relating to the
resting place of the heart of the great
missionary explorer Livingstone have
just reached England from PouIett
Weatherley. an Englishman who has
been travelling mostly for purposes of
sport in east central Africa for some
years past.
AS he was in the neighborhood Mr.
Weatherley determined to visit Chi
tambo, where Livingstone's heart was
buried. He found that the old chief of
that name was dead, and his body in
TERED under the same tree beneath
which Livingstone's heart was buried.
The new Chitambo has moved the viii
lage ten miles from the old site and the
old inpundu tree which guards the
grave stands in the midst of solitude.
Mr. Weatherley says that nothing
could be more impressive than the rug
ged old tree guarding the spot where
the great missionary died, but the tree
is already fast becoming a mere shell
in the last stages of decay and it must
sooner or later be completely destroyed.
When this happens there will be moth
ing to mark this venerated spot and
Mr.. Weatherley suggests that. before it
is too late, the friends and admirers of
DR.. Livingstone in this country should
take some measure to permanently
mark his last hating place.

SUGAR TRUSTS HAND.
Seen in the Manipulation of the Pro-
posed Tariff Legislation.


st. Louis. March s-The Post Dis
patch publishes the following special
Trom Washington, double loaded:
Every one knows that Treasurer
Searles, the able diplomatist of the
sugar trust, is in Washington looking
after the new tariff bill.
Every oneis anxious to know what is
abe limit of the game the trust will play
for this year. The fact has escaped
comment that chairmen of four Repub-
1ican National Executive committees OF
Fhe last. four presidential campaigns are
now all in the senate-Elkins, Quay,
Carter and Hanna.
Three of these are favorable to the
trust, Chairman Dingley is said to be
personally in favor of a high specific
duty on all sugar, raw and refined alike
and no favors to trusts, but 1t will pre-
<ently appear that he is to be OVerruled.
The sugar duty in the new tariff bill
will be very high-11s cents per pound
upon all Sugars-and the sugar trust
will have additional protection of
Dne-eig1th of one cent per pound on re-
fined sugar.
This is exactly the duty which the
sugar trust obtained by methods which
created a national scandal in 1894, when
the Wilson tariff bill was delayed by
four senators until the demands of the
trust were complied with.
The new duty will realize for the gov
eminent from $65, 000, 900 to SIS, 900, 600
per annum.
The additional duty of-16 cent differ
entail will insure to the sugar trust the
continuance of it's monopoly of the
American market. The trust could I'M
doubleday maintain itself without any
duty whatever, but the new tariff will,
however, give the trust clear profit of
Is cent per pound in addition to its legi-
innate profits. This is a bonus to the
trust of 81, 900, 600 annually, as the total
consumption of sugar in the United
States is about 1900, GOO, 600 pounds a
year, and the sugar trust Tefines so per
cent of all the sugar in the country, and
will therefore get four-fifthS of the
S., 600, 900 additional profit.
The sugar trust contributed 5000, 900 to
the Mckinley campaign fund, far more
than it had ever been called upon to
give either of the great political parties
an any national campaign. This comes
'frOIn a United States senator who
knows the secrets of the Republican
National committee.
1t was given with a condition affec-
4ing the tariff and this explains the
presence of representatives of the trust
at the capital during the past few
weeks.
Mr.. Hanna is said by his opponents to
be trying in every way to get a place
on the Finance committee, which will
have the tariff bill in charge. No new
senator was ever appointed to this most
important committee of the senate.

LOGAN'S STATUE
Will be Unveiled in Lake Front Park
July %.

Chicago, Ill, March s-St. Gaudens
equestrian statue of Genaral John A Lo-
gan in the Lake Front park will be I'M
yelled July %. The work of the noted
sculptor is now being cast in bronze in
New York and in a few days the South
Park commissioners will begin to build
the foundation on which the immense
figure will rest. The date for the unveil-
ing of the statue was selected by Mrs
John a. Logan in commemoration of the
day when General Logan took command
of General McPherson'S corps before
Atlanta after the death of General Nc
Pherson.
The statue which. according to the act
of the legislature, is to mark the last
resting place of both General and Mrs.
Logan is of heroic size and has been pro-
nounced by Mrs. Logan to be full of life
and an excellent counterfeit of her hus-
band. The statue represents General Lo-
gan hatless, seated on a horse which
paws the ground impatiently, while his
rider with difficulty restraints him from
plunging forward.
