No Objections Made by the Democrat
I'm the House,


In the House.
Washington. July 9.-The house yes
terday sent the tariff bill to confer
ence. Messrs. Dingley, Payne, Dalzell
Hopkins and Grosvenor, Republicans
and Bailey Mcmillan and Wheeler,
Democrats were appointed conferrees.
The proceedings were in no wise SEN
sational This action was taken by
means of a special order brought in
from the committee on rules, The
minority made no objection to 1t, but
protested because the majority re-
fused in advance to enter into an
agreement as to the length of time to
be allowed for debate when the bill Is
reported back by the conferees, They
also attempted to make some political
capital out of the refusal of the mi
nority to permit action on the CUGan
belligerancy resolution and the bank
ruptcy bill.
The session of the senate was un-
eventful, the deficiency appropriation
bill being considered throughout the
day, Among it's provisions is one ac-
cepting the invitation of France to
participate in the Paris exposition of
1900 During the day Mr.. Berry, Of
Arkansas, offered a resolution requir-
ing the president to demand of Spain
the release of Ona Melton, one of the
Competitor prisoners. The resolution
was referred to the committee on for
eign relations.

QUAY NOT A CANDIDATE.
The Senator Repeats His Statement That
He VIII Retire From Public Life.

He VIII Retire From Public Life.
WASHINGTON, July 9.-Senator Quay, of
Pennsylvania, when asked concerning the
statement that he would retire from public
life at the close of his term, said he was not
making an official announcement that he
would not be a candidate for reelection, but
unless he changed his mind he would not
remain longer in the Senate.
Asked about the TumOr at Washington last
evening Senator Quay replied Il have not
said and 1 will not say that l will not be a
candidate for reelection. l said that | did
not feel like it now, but it is a long time be-
fore l shall have to face the question in a
practical way"
Associates of the Senator recall that he
has frequently wished himself out of public
life when depressed by poor health or a par
ticularly trying situation. He has, however,
always changed his mind when he felt better
They agree that after the European trip,
which he is expected to take for complete
rest from politics and business, he will be as
well as ever and will probably consent to let
his name be used again for reelection. Sem
ator Quay is not yet 81 years old, and it is
believed that good rest will restore him to
his Old-time form.

The County Commissioners are in receipt
Of a letter from James E. Barrett, Deputy
Secretary of the Commonwealth. with ref
erence to tax upon aliens. The state does not
derive any benefit from this tax, as one-half
of it goes to the schools of the county, the
other to the counties themselves. 1T is our
intention, however," continues Mr.. Barrett,
to prepare form in conformity with the
act and furnish it to the Commissioners of
each county. This will be done within the
next two or three weeks, which will be soon
enough for all practical purposes" When
these blanks reach the Commissioner office,
it is likely copies Of the same will be sent to

WEIGHING AN ENGINE.
A Locomotive Weighed to Ascertain
Its Loss by Wear and Tear.
From the Albany Express.

From the Albany Express.
peculiar scientific experiment has
been made with the famous engine $40,
or the New York Central railroad, at
the shops at West Albany. Some
months ago this large engine which,
In the opinion of many well-informed
railroad men, eXcels even the famous
s99, was taken into the shops and COM
pletely overhauled. 1t was taken apart
completely, and every part of the en-
gine, from the massive driving wheels
to the very smallest bolt and nut was
separately weighed. The heavy por-
tions We're weighed in the shops and the
small parts were taken to a Watervliet
avenue pharmacy, where they were
weighed on the pharmacists scales.
The greatest care was taken by the
machinists under the direction of Mas
ter Mechanic Buchanan to see that the
weighing was acurate. When every
part of the engine had been weighed
force of the best skilled mechanics
was put to work to re assemble the
engine. When it was complete again
1t was put into active service.
A short time ago the engine was
taken back to the shops and mechanics
were put to work dissecting it again.
once more every part was weighed.
The scales of the pharmacist were
brought into service again. When every
portion had been weighed the record
was compared with the former one.
Then Master Buchanan knew just how
much the engine had lost in weight
through the wear of known amount
of work. The records of the weights
of the separate parts showed which
parts were subjected to the most wear.
The test cost many hundreds of dol
lars, but the New York Central was
willing to spend the money in order
that it might be able to know what
parts of an engine wear out most
quickly and in what ratio the several
parts wear out. The exact figures have
not been made public. There is no
doubt that they will be interesting
to mechanics and scientists.
