The cyIindricnI COTTON nnle.
From the Engineering News.


Cotton-baiing and cotton fires are report
ed upon by United States Consul James
Boyle of Liverpool, A late test has been
made OF the comparative merits Of the
square and cylindrical American cotton
bale with regard to the effect of fire upon
them. The two bales were fired and burn
ed side by side for thirty minutes. The
square bale originally weighed 40 pounds,
and PSI pounds Of sound cotton were re-
covered, showing q loss of 1868 per cent. OF
the whole. The cylindrical bale weighed
5O4 pounds, and 1892 pounds remaining
sound, showing a loss of 22.2 per cent.
thought consideration must be given to
the relative sizes of the bales. The bulk
of evidence was In favor OF the round bae
which weighed thirtyfive pounds to the
cubic feet. while the square bale weighed
about twenty-five pounds. The Egyptian
and Brazilian cotton bales weigh forty
five pounds TO the cubic foot and never
give trouble from fire or by damage to
the jute covering The explanation of
the liability of the square American COM
press Is as powerful as any In the world
and the bales are first compressed to forty
five pounds per cubic foot, but after the
ties are made fast the bale is allowed to
expand against the lies and in doing so
SuEhs III a EiIdt quantity VI dls All
American bale treated In this way Is one
system Of oxygen cells and the fire once
started follows these cells and is difficult
10 put out. On the other hand, the Egyp-
tan bale Is likewise compressed to forty
five pounds, but Is held 10 that density by
sufficient number OF steel ties; Their are
four or five more bands around an Egyp-
tian bale than around an American bale
The trouble lies In The baiing, and Is ac-
counted for by the fact that the Egyptian,
Indian aud Brazilian baling Is done by
those who get the advantage of superior
compressions ia freight and insurance,
while the American baling is done in the
cotton belt by persons not interested in
these advantages. The principal objec-
ton TO the cylindrical bale comes from its
slowing effects, as urged from a shipping
and insurance standpoint. It Is claimed
that the spaces left IN slowing form air
draughts, dangerous in case Of fire. and tins
space is waste space. The latter point is
met by the greater density Of the round
bale. Another objection Is that the cotton
in the round bale Is rolled, while in the
old bale 1t is in layers, and is thus easier
TO sample and to use by the spinners.

MRS. BUcKI WINS SEPARATION.
Court CT Appeals Affirms Decision of
Lower Court.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Mrs. Hattie e. Bucki after five years Il
litigation, has succeeded in obtaining a
separation from Charles L. Bucki The
Court of Appeals has just rendered a de-
cision affirming the judgment Of the lower
courts, which gave her a decree, based
upon evidence of her husbands cruelty
toward her.
Mrs. Bucki began her action in the su-
preme Court for a limited divorce in Janu-
airy, 1893, through Howe & Hummel. Mr..
Buck was then a wealthy lumber Irer-
chant. They were married in May, 1887.
She was a Miss Eckman of Georgia, and
was noted for her beauty. In her suit
she said that he had an income of $4,000
but that by reason of his conduct toward
her she was broken in health. She declar-
ed that he became intoxicated gambled,
remained away from home until late at
night and Inundated her before their rel
atlves and servants. They lived for a time
at No I16 West Seventy ninth street, and
soon after their troubles began he let this
house to former Gov. Campbell of Ohio.
Because she refused 10 80 to any but a
iirst-class hotel with him they separated.
Mr.. Bucki denied his wife's accusations,
and was at the time of the trial willing
20 receive her back, but insisted that she
should live within his means, which were
not what they had been at the time Of
their marriage. Judge Ingraham granted
the decree Of separation and $3.50 ALI
mony.
Mr.. Bucki appealed the action to the
Appellate division where the Judgment Of

NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
Measure Practically Completed by
the House Committee.

Measure Practically COmpietcu DS
the House COMMITTEES.
Washington, March 1O.-The naval APP
preparation bin has been practically com
pleted by the House committee on naval
affairs, save as to the questions as to
the increases in The navy, dry docks and
armor plate.
Chairman Boutelle stated tonight that
he might report the bill to the House by
Saturday, and if not il will go in early
next week. There have been few changes
from the estimates. and ihe bill will in
yolYe in the neighoorhood of $3)G10,0oQ,
aside from new vessels. dry docks and
armors The increases allowed are such
as meet the gradual development OF the
service.
The general item for construction and
repair just passed on, aggregating 81, &c.,
090. is identical with the estimates. This
includes about $4,000, a material increase,
for improved machinery at the shops. The
amount is also exclusive of the specific
appropriations to the various construction
plants, etc. There is also a horizontal ap-
preparation proposed of $4,000 to each of
the yards, except 10 the Puget sound sta
ton, in lieu of the general estimate of $780,
009
There was a long discussion in commit
tee tO-udN over the aQQiI2Onal lana wanted
for the Port Royal Is. ca station, aud
attention was called to some legal points
involved in the question, but an approprf-
alton of $4,000 for the purpose was finally
allowed, subject to the acquisition of a
quit claim for the Nivers tract.
There was also hearing given the Mas
sachusetts delegation in Congress, who
were appointed at a joint meeting of the
Massachusetts members of both houses
this morning, to present the claims of Bos-
ton for a dry dock there equipped to ac-
commodate the largest vessels to be erect
ed at Boston.
The committee deferred action and will
probably give other hearings.
With this bill referred to the House the
general deficiency alone remains for COM
mHtee action. Work on that will begin in
day or two, though its submission to the
House will be deferred until both the naval
and the Dostoffice bills have been prac
! tically disposed OF.

saws 1t shows the Depth of Iniqui-
~ to which the Court Has De-

topeka. Kan, March 1O.-The Populist
.,m.uistration of the state of Kansas
nave out a public address to-day bristlng
Sab severe criticism of the recent decision
al the United States Supreme Court in
,be Nebraska maximum freight rate case.
The address is particularly significant,
II that Gov. Leedy has already taken steps
nrfliminary to the calling of the state leg
stature in special session with the spe
clal purpose of enacting a maximum
freight rate law.
While the address is given out over the
Signature of the government, it had first
teen approved by Chief Justice Doster Of
tbe state Supreme Court and other promi-
ptnt Populists.
The Governor begins his address with
me statement that for a year the press
Dispatches have said that the opinion in
be Nebraska case would be adverse to
t5e state and he Infatuated that these
forecasts were put out in advance by per-
sons connected with the court in order to
feel The public pulse Then he says:
The opinion has been handed down
and the dispatches say that it is a clean
victory for the railroads. On the con-
uarv it is an unelean victory in every
aspect of the case. showing that no mat
M how carefully the robes of justice are
folded about the personnel of the Supreme
Court, these robes can no longer conceal
The cloven hoof of official malfeasance
and usurpaton.'
The Governor declares that the cons9i-
luton of Nebraska gives the legislature
power to establish maximum charges for
transportation and that the Supreme Court
has tried 70 abrogate it. He challenges
Justice Harlan's declaration that corpo-
ration is a person under the fourteenth
amendment of the federal constitution
which he quotes, adding: Nobody but a
slave or a knaVe will yield assent TO the
hideous distortion of meaning which Judge
Harlan gives to the word person as used
in the fourteenth amendment. and upon
which he bottoms his infamous decision
and which shows to what depths of iniqui-
ty the Supreme Court of the United States
has descended
In conclusion Gov Leedy states that
his maximum rate bill will be presented
to The Kansas Legislature in such shape
that to decide against it the court must
reverse its decision in the Nebraska case,
and he states that ''if the court still pur-
sues the corrupt end rotten practice that
/, has heretofore, by changing its decis-
ions 10 suit the shifting interests of the
railroad corpora tons" the remedy will be
with the people in their dealings with
the courts or in building railroads of their
own.

the time being politics has but little show

disposed to discuss the political situation
for he says the people in Atlanta are too
