CThe above is rather superfiuous.
Tesla was not questioned by the Ad-
vertiser. 1t might have been noted
that there is a growing impression that
Tesla is a sort of second Kelley. 1t
was not so noted. Popular knowledge
of the man is given in the Sunday edi-
tons of papers on the mainland and
some of the scientific journals. The
only conclusion that can be reached
from these articles by the layman is
that Tesla, in the words of a circus bill
in English by a Japanese, is about to
do something impossible. Truly, Tesla
is big figure in the electrical world.

Niagara all by himself or that he is

BY A TESLAITE KEEN TO INVEST
English Agents in Manila
on Business Bent.
Millions Of Pounds Ready for Use.
The Americans-Si Money

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-A cable to
the Sun from Manila says: Every
steamer brings more Americans COM
mercially bent. Several of those here
are the advance agents OF capitalists
seeking profitable investments Amer
lean investors must look sharp or the
best things will be grabbed by English
men or Germans. The Sun correspond
ent knows that one EngliShman who
controls millions OF pounds and has
unlimited authority to buy sugar es-
tates, was instructed to make no con-
tracts until he was certain that the
Americans would hold the islands and
then to take everything good that it
was possible to get.
These men have the advantage of
years of residence among the islands
and a thorough knowledge of the coun-
try'S language and people. 1t behoOveS
Americans to hurry, but to do so with
the greatest care. Some Americans
here are now preparing plans for
great corporation 10 control large in
tereSts which will probably be able TO
compete favorably with English cap
ital. There is comparatively no OPP
pOrtunity here for small investments.
Strong companies with plenty OF cap
ital can make big money, but practic
ally the only individual opportunity
will be in an administrative capacity.
The tendency is clearly shown by the
actions of the representatives of
large American brewery, who are al
ready buying saloons in Manila.
Americans who expect to find good
chances here for individual efforts are
likely to be disappointed. Hands have
no place in competing with Filipinos
or Chinese; heads with capital can
reap rich rewards.

According to Paris advices, Admiral
Bedollicre, commanding the French

some suspicion hero that tho action OF

with desire to back up Russian de-
signs.

The receivers of the Baltimore q
Ohio Railroad have turned their atten-
ton to the improvement of the grades
on the third division, from Cumber-
land to Grafton, or rather that portion
which lies between Altamont, the top
Of the seventeen-mile grade, and Ter
ra Alta, where the Cranberry grade be-
gins to descend. The line passes
through Deer Park and Oakland and
crosses what is known as the "Glades"
OF the Allegheny Mountains. The
grades are short and choppy, some Of
them being 80 to So feet to the mile.
One of the first pieces of work to be
done is now In progress at No. So Cut,
where the grade is being reduced from
81 feet to AN feet per mile, with equa-
lions for curvature. 1t is expected
that the cutting down OF this grade
will enable the receivers to increase
the train load from 1000 tons to 1900
tons on east-bound trains. One mile
OF the roadway will be lowered and 1t
is expected that the work will be COM
pleted by the middle Of October.
