New York, Jan. 2.-The statistics Of
new equipment built in this country in
1896, gathered by the Railroad Gazette,
show that we have built more locomo-

cars. The figures presented by the Rail
road Gazette show that we built last
year $50 locomotives, IA more than 1895.
The actual number of engines built in
1896 was 1,175, and in 1895, 1,101. In
1896, 300 engines We're built in this
country for export to foreign countries,
going chiefly to South America. The

Mrs. Cougar Asked to Leave Prohibi-

Chicago, Jan. 2.-Members of the ex-
ecutive and central committees of the
national party who have been in ses-
sion at the Sherman house for two days
wound. up their affairs Friday night.
1t has been reported that negotiations
for the union of the two prohibition
parties have been entertained, but this,
according to members of the commit
tee, is out of the question. While no
resolutions to that effect were adopted,
there is u strong feeling against fusion.
The object of the conference was the
perfecting of plans for future work and
the filling of vacancies in the committee.
Ten new members were appointed. Mrs.
Helen NJ. Cougar, who has always been
prominent in the party, and who was
Il member of both the executive and
central committees, was asked to re-
sign through resolution presented by
ID. j. Thomas. The reason for the ac-
ton of the committee in adopting such
q resolution was that Mrs. Cougar gave
her support to William j. Bryan in the
recent campaign. Mrs. Julia p. Green,
of Adrian, Mich, was appointed in her
stead.
While the fusion of he national, party
with the old prohibition party is
deemed improbable, l.. b. Logan, Henry
