Russia Buys Ships From America

A special from Washington to the
New York Herald says: Russia, i'm
pressed by the excellence of American
ships, has come to this country for five
formidable warships. l understand
that the Messrs. Cramp. of Philadel-
phia have closed q contract with that
country for two battleships and three
protected cruisers.
These battleships are to be of 1900
tons, and are to have speed of eigh-
teen knots. They are to have all the
latest improvements, included copper
sheathed bottoms. The protected cruis-
ers are to be 6, 800 tons displacement.
The contract calls for speed of twenty
knots. These vessels will be of the
Olympia type.
The battleships are to have four
twelve and ten six inch guns in the
main battery. They will have ex-
ceptionslly heavy secondary batter
les.
The cruisers will have eight and six
inch rapid fire guns in the main bat
teries Russia will use her own guns.
The vessels will be required to main
tain the contract speed for a period of
twelve hours as against four hours u.s.
ually, as provided in the contracts for
ships OF our navy.

Colonial Expansion By France And
GERMANY.

The cases of France and Germany
are simpler. So far, neither of those
countries is the richer or stronger by
any of its colonial acquisitions.
Every piece of land that either
France or Germany has obtained
in Africa, or In Indo- China
and the Eastern Archipelago, lies in
the tropics, is unhealthy and unfit for
French men or Germans to settle in.
and affords no prospect of giving for
many years to come q return proper
tionate to the sums of money which
will be needed to develop it. With
all the passionate avidiJy for acqui-
sition which the German SEQ
lonial party" has lately shown, the
only spot they have secured which
holds out promise of providing valua-
BILE for trade is the port OF K1ao-chau
in China The reason, of course, is
that before France s,s -, and
Germany entered the field all the
temperate zone, and all the best parts
even of the tropics, were already occu-
pied by other nations, whom it was i'm
possible to displace Nothing worth
having was left; and the keen rivalry
now shown to get or to maintain foot
hold in China is due to the fact that
China is practically the only region
over whose markets there can be
struggle.
So far, therefore, as the examples OF
France and Germany go, they are ex-
amples calculated rather to dissuade
than to encourage any other nation
from entering on a like course.-t'rOm

Gold Production.

The gold production of the world in
the calendar year of 1897 is found on
careful computation to have been S24O,
OOO, 900 and the increased production in
the United States, South Africa and
Australia in the first months of 1898
indicates q production in the latter
wear of 1915, 900, 900. The production
of gold now is equal to the combined
output of silver and gold in 1890, AND
far in excess of the combined prOduc-
ton of the two precious metals in 1873.
In the year 1873 the production of gold
was S1I5, ST., 900, of silveri$S1 1864, 900 or
a little over S197 zoo, 900 altogether.
There is accordingly no danger of
scarcity of money, owing to the sus-
pension of the free-coinsge OF silver.
The gold production increases now
yearly faster than the yearly require
ments of commerce: The proportion
of gold coined is vastly greater than in
former years. In 1888 only S45, OOO, 900
of gold and 500, 100000 of silver was
available for coinage, the rest being
absorbed in the arts. Taking
no account of silver in 1897 and allow
ing $50, OOO, 900 of gold for the arts
there would still remain $175, OOO, 900 of
gold available for the worlds coinage.
The gold available for coinage in 1898
will be nearly twice the supply of both
metals available for that purpose in
1888. Hence the glut of gold accumu-
latipg in the worlds banks and the fall
of interest. When the best money can
be borrowed with good security at q
per cent it is, perhaps, cheap enough
and no reasonable man can wish to
substitute something cheaper.

"Hiuh-Bal1" from Hind End.

The standard rules for the conduct
of the transportation department
adopted, and in use by nearly all of
the large roads in the country, are
being improved from time to time,
even though some years ago
it looked like no further
progress in that line could
those rules is the regulation requiring
engineers on freight trains to blow four
shOrt-blast whistles, calling for "high
sign" before passing any station or sid
ing, night or day, and unless engineers
receive an answer to that signal from
the hind end, in the shape of the "hieh
ball." by lantern raised up and
down perpendicularly at night or the
hand raised at arms length in day, the
train must be brought to stop until
signal from the rear is received to go
ahead. This puts good check on the
train crew going to sleep in the caboose
to run the "whole thing and
is also an additional safeguard
to prevent the overlooking of
orders. There was q case on the Wsb-
ash short time ago, where
q new engineer going over the road on
through freight called for the "hieh
sign" from the rear, and the conductor
concluded to let him go on without an
swering the call fo- signal. The train
was coming down into the station at a
pretty good rate of speed, and when
the engineer called again, 80 toto ITO, -
and did not get any reply, he slapped
on the air to the emergency notch, and
spilled the train crew all over the
caboose. They wanted to know from
the engineer what was the matter.
He informed them that the rule was
on the time card, and it was there to
be followed out, and if he did not get
an answer when he called for a sig nal
from the hind end, right there he
would stOp.-St. Louis Globe Demo-

To Prevent Delays to Freight.

One of the largest lines running out
OF ST. Louis is considering something
new in the way of a preventive to Sc
rious delays to freight. Under the
proposed arrangement, when q car is
loaded, billed and ready to go forward,
and that car is not moved within
twentyfOur hours, the agent at that
giving the number of the initials of the
car. If that car is not moved within
at the station will be re-
quired to wire the division superin-
tendent. In the event there is no tel
egraph Office at the station q report is
to be sent by mail. Should that car
not De taken forward within three
days report is to be sent by the agent
to the general superintendent. This
rule, OF course, is not to apply to per-
ishable goods, which are always look
ed after like hawk, but it is intended
to prevent serious delays to merchan-
disc and dead freight.
1t not unfreouently happens that q
car of merchandise ia overlooked some
where. either at the loading point, or
set off at some point in transit, and de-
lsyed for several days. simply because
there is no systematic check by hold
ing responsible the agent at the point
hSi hlpLhOpt TX laotCo 0hd WOO
loaded, or at the point where the car
WAS set off, and no way the higher Of
ficers in the operating department will
comes in from ' the con.
signee or consignor. With this new
arrangement, if car is delayed twenty
four hours, the report to the train
master will bring forth an explana
tion from car dispatcher or chief train
dispatcher; and if the car Is still on
hand, loaded and ready to go forward,
in forty weight hours, the superinten-
dent will get after the trainmaster.
In the event it remained there three
days the general superintendent
would be wanting an explana-
tion from the division super
intendent. During q heavy freight
movement the tendency is frequently
to keep loads moving without regard
to the rule first in, first out, and this
new system to be put in force shortly
will prevent the isolated cases, where
during q rush of business some one car
of freight here and there is allowed to
drop out of sight for week or so.-
