LIQUID FUEL.

In regard to the use of liquid fuel,
particularly on steamships, it is now
claimed that given weight of oil de-
velops more heat than the same
weight of coal. In trials it has been
found that 2.27 pounds of ordinary
north country coal were used for each
indicated horse power per hour, as
compared with 1.67 pounds of oil. An
other advantage is the speed with
which fuel can be taken on board
While the rate at which coaling is
performed does not as a rule exceed
60 to so tons an hour, 400 tons of III
can be pumped into the bunkers in
the same time,

PAID TO FOREIGNERS.
Immense Freight Bill For Wheat Ex-
ported From Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Nov. 21.-The strongest
possible argument in favor of the build
ing up of the American mercantile ma
rine lies in the fact that Philadelphia
merchants alone have already paid out
this year to foreign ship owners So, 604,-
149 for the carrying of the "a, 287, 40
bushels of grain that have been shipped
abroad.
Upon the figures of freight paid for
the movement of grain to Europe, Brit
ish steamships of the modern type and
size are known to be paying their own
ers in the neighborhood of from 20 to
80 and even 35 per cent on the amount
of capital they have invested.
Out of the millions of bushels of grain
already shipped from here this year,
not one bushel went aboard an Ameri~
can vessel and probably So per cent of it
was carried by British bottoms, while
Norwegian and Swedish "tramps" came
in for the other Is per cent.
A rough estimate of what will be paid
foreign ship owners this year for the
carrying abroad of goods places the fig
ures somewhat excess of 100000, 600
The fact is that the civil war saw the
decadence of the American merchant
marine but the late war with Spain, in
the opinion of many, will lead to its re-
viVal.
Americans since the late war have
become thoroughly aroused as to the
necessity of the maintenance of an in
creased mercantile marine. Territorial
expansion, should the present naviga-
ton laws continue in vogue, renders it
absolutely necessary that American
vessels be built to carry on the trade
with these latest acquisitions.

ANTI-CROWDING SOCIETY.
Omaha Citizens in an Organization to
Secure Seats in Cars.

Omaha, Nov. 21.-An Anti Crowding
Car society is the latest reform organi-
cation in Omaha, the first demonstra-
ton by the association being made last
evening as the o'clock crowds took
possession of the street cars.
The first Information the conductor
of the car received was a stern COM
mand from a dozen members of the So
ciety:
Let another man or woman get on
this car and over you go. Ring the bell
and go ahead if you don't want trou-
ble'
The conductor took one look at the
scOWling faces of the men damned into
the aisle of the street car and then
hastily gave the signal to move or, leav-
ing crowd of angry people at the
crossing.
The society belongs to Walnut Hill, a
fashionable suburb of the city, and is
the outgrowth of what the residents Of
that locality term long siege OF crowd
ed car service.
Finally the residents Of that section
at mass meeting formed the Anti
CrOWding Car association, the members
of which pledged themselves to resist
by force any effort to crowd more than
a comfortable number into the cars
when any of the members are present.
If the company does not improve the
service the society will go to the courts
to see if it is legal for more people to
be taken on a car than can find seats.

der the conditions the imperial govern
ment would impose are not unlimited
though means might be imprOviSed at

Japan liners sailing from Canada and
transport accommodation available on

ters, insure sufficient tonnage at short
notice to answer a summons to rem
devious at any point indicated for the
embarkatiOn of troops in the eastern

Unless the Information is wholly err
roneous, the conditions are such that a
year at least of ceaseless effort would
be required to fit out an adequate Fran

cope with the British power already
there or presently available. And in
the meantime, it is asked, what will

MOST TERRIBLE TALE.
Told by Stuart the ''Male Patti p
Which Sounds Like It Wasn't So.

Stuart, the male Patti, brought back
with him to this city Saturday the story
of sequel to the riot at the Grand Opera
House the night 1872 was presented here
last season. Miss Carrie McClelland, one
of the chorus girls with the company on
its former visit, came near dying in a New
York hospital last summer from the effects
of a cancer resulting from an injury re-
ceived here.
When Miss McC1elland made her appear
ance at the opening of the third act some
one threw marble from the gallery. Her
costume was decOllete, and the marble
struck her the flesh of the chest, in
hfcting painful bruise. A small dark
spot remained but she thought nothing of
it until near the end of the season. when
it suddenly commenced to swell. She was
compelled to give up her work and return
ed to New York and entered a hospital
where, after several weeks of treatment
she was told that the injury had resulted
in cancer and that an operation was
necessary. This was performed and a
growth of considerable size removed. To
cover the wound flesh grating had to be
resOrted to. and Miss McClelland was
dangerously i'll for several days
When the present company was made
up Miss AICClelland made her appearance
and asked to see the route. When she
found that Topeka was included she ask
ed:
do you really intend to go to that place
again?'
She was informed that such was the in
ton. Well, them, I'm sorry, but I can

TO DRAW LOTS.
Tie Vote on Leavenworth Representa-
tive Cause for Novel Procedure.

Leavenworth, Nov. 21-It now seems
likely that the tie vote between Dawes
and Fitzwilliams, the Republican and
Democratic candidates for the legisla-
ture will have to be decided by draw
ing lots, as provided for by the statutes,
but this cannot be done until the secre-
tary announces the result of the last
election.
AS was foreshadowed several days ago
the probability is now the votes cast by
the members of the Twentieth Kansas
infantry will not be able to reach KAN
sas before January, and there is no pro,
vision in law requiring the secretary OF
state or rather the canvaSSing board,
to postpone such canvass until the arri-
val of the vote, which may never reach
here This is a possibility, when the
danger of a journey across 5000 miles OF
ocean is considered.

DISAPPOINTED IN Us.
The British Hoped for an Open Door
in Porto Rico.

New York. Nov. PA dispatch to
the Times from London says:
The Daily Chronicle in a strongly
WOrded editorial article upon the Amer
lean policy in the Philippines says:
1T is a rather diSQuieting fact that
no sooner is American authority firmly
established over Puerto Rico than a
medieval navigation law is passed kill
ing at a single stroke important Cana
dian shipping trade with the island and
making it impossible for any but Amer
lean ships to trade between America
and her new colony.
This is not an open door, It is a
door shut, bolted, locked and barricad-
ed. The Canadian commissioners nat
urally feel keenly the blow thus dealt
their country and regard it as a bad
augury for success in the negotiations
now in their hands
"A much graver question however, is
ahead: Does the American government
propose to establish an open door, in
the Philippines or propose to shut it fast
with a policy worse than that of France,
Russia or even Spain herself?
we, as a nation have much the long
est, widest colonial experience. Our
colonies are not only the most civilized,
but the best and most loyal and pros
porous colonies in the world. BY our
methods, out of colonies we have crea-
ted two great virtually independent ma
tiOns. What has the opposite policy
done? It has created the colonies of
France where there is no settlement of
Frenchmen worth mentioning. where the
resources of the mother country are
swallowed up as if by a bottomless
swamp.
These facts are so well known in
Germany, a country where the princi-
pie of protection is hardly less revered
than in Washington itself that as we
announce today a policy of an open
door in Asia it has Germany's complete

CIGARETTE is OUTLAWED.
Declared Not to Be a Legitimate Ar
ticle of Commerce.

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 21-The anti
cigarette law passed by the last Ten,
nessee legislature, is declared cOnstitu-
tiOnal in an opinion given to the press
today by Judge Caldwell, of the supreme
court of the state. The opinion declares
that cigarettes are not legitimate arti-
cles of commerce. because they are
wholly nOXiOus and deleteriOus to health
and therefore are not within the pro-
vision of the federal constitution pro-
tecting legitimate commerce. 1t also
holds that the conventional cigarette
package is not an Original package" in
the true commercial sense for which
additional reason the federal court has
no application to this statute. The
sale of cigarettes has been stopped here
by order of the police. The decision
will likely be contested in the federal
supreme court.
