GERMAN ELECTRIC ROADS.
Interesting Statistics Concerning
the TRANSPORTATION Seryice


Consul Anderson, at Hanover, transmits
to the State Department the following sta
tisties concerning electric railways in Ger
many:
Up to the end of the year 1891 the num-
Der of cities in the German empire enjoy
ing the advantages of electric street rail-
ways was 8; up TO the end Of 1892. ) 1898.
II; 1894. 10; 1895, 80; 1886, "A; 1887, 81,
and on the 1st of September 1898, 6S In
thirty FIVE other cities or districts railways
are in the course of construction or finally
determined upon. The entire length of
electric lines in operation in Germany on
September 1, 1898, was SSS miles and the
total trackage was 1,2G5 miles. The num-
Der of motor ears was $3.50, and the num-
ber of trailers 2,12S. The length of the
new lines in course OF construction or
about to be begun at that date was 677
miles, and their total trackage $50 miles.
Most of the large industrial cities in
Westphalia and the Rhine province are
connected by a network of electric roads,
which serve not only for passengers. but
for freight traffic.
The electric street railway OF Hanover
was built under the supervision and direc-
tion OF an American from Philadelphia, and
was opened for business on May l, 1892.
1t was one of the first electric lines inaug-
urated in Germany, and is now one Of the
best systems in existence. The cars are
modelled after our American ones, and the
tracks are of heavy steel. laid on a sub
stantial foundation of concrete. The fare
for a course of, say, miles within the
city limits. is less than IL cents. Uni
yersay transfers are granted. The speed
is about miles per hour. and the cars run
smoothly and with but little noise. Within
the mile circuit and upon some Of the
principal streets extending to the city lin
its, the cars are run on the accumulation
system: but when the outskirts are reached
the accumulators are released from service
and the cars are run by overhead trolley.
The lines extend on almost every road,
miles into the surrounding country The
trackage of the Hanover Electric Railway
now amounts to over los miles. The equip
ment consists of Al overhead trolley cars,
161 acumulator and trolley ears combined.
167 trailers 20 locomotives. I sprinklers.
and "a freight cars. There are six power
stations four of which furnish, in addition
to power for the cars. electric light for
streets and roads. The motor ears are from

BICYCLES FOR GUADELoUPE.
An Opportunity for the Sale oi
Amcrican-Made Machines.

The State Department has received the
following communication from Consul
Ayme, at Guadeloupe, West Indies:
"a possible opening presents itself in
this city for the sale of American bicycles.
There is now under construction in the
principal public square bicycle track, at
the citys expense.
The duty on French bicycles is about
S3.SO. each; on American bicycles about
s7.6G The freight on bicycle from Paris
here amounts to about $1240, while from
New York the freight is from 81 to 81
each; thus leaving a good margin for the
American machine.
The French machines are of grade
that permits them TO be retailed for 4 cash
price from $53 TO $780, hut the usual mode
is to sell them on monthly instalments of
$50, charging from SOS to S7j in such
cases.
Il believe that sales OF q medium priced
wheel could be made here. Bicycles should
be light. strong. showy. and of good work
manship Probably. the best way to in
troduce them would be to send a certain
number of wheels. packed six in a crate.
to some reputable merchant, allowing him
to sell them on installments OF, say, S3 a
month.
Il think it very likely that a sort of BIZ
cycle craze will spring up here, and | would
like to see our machines in the field"

part of American territory, it is necessary
that the people should be trained in politi-
cal life. This is now all admitted by one
newspaper that has been extreme in de-
nouncing the policy of the Administration,
although that policy has not been changed
in any way with our forces attacked" !"
it says, there is, as the President says,
nothing to do until our authority is re-
spected and our flag is honored. >"
When the whole history of the case is
reviewed it must be seen that this nation
could not escape its burden or its oppor-
tunity save by a display of cowardice that
would have discredited us in our own eyes
and in the eyes of the world. 1t must be
seen that the destiny of the Philippines
could not be settled at the time the Treaty
was before the Senate, or now; but that
we must learn by experience what con-
science and civilization require us TO DO
when we have performed the plain duties
Immediately ahead. Nothing could be
more idle, irrelevant, and ridiculous than
the attempt to decide on a Philippine policy
beyond the establishment of our authority
and the training of the inhabitants which
must be the same whatever their final
disposition.

eIBRALTAR's COAL TRADE.
Remarkable Increase in Sales Dur,
ing the Near Past

4 marked increase in the coal trade o,
Gibraltar during the last year is brought
out in the report of Consul Sprague to the
State Department, which he says:
The private sales of coal during the
year 1895 amounted TO about SOC, coo tons,
being about q. 600 tons over those of the
previous year.
The number of steamers that cOaIed at
this port during the same year was about
2,462. showing but a trifling decrease from
that in 1857.
The increase in the quantity of coal
sold is due to the great number of stzam-
eTs that have gone to the United States.
most of them in ballast, bunkering very
heavily. and this accounts for the fact
that while the increase in the quantity
sold was about p, coo tons during the year
1888, the number of steamers shows
small decrease as compared with 1891 \
recent attempt TO establish q monopoly in
the coal trade here failed. The current
price for the present year has been fixed
at $5.S1 per ton free alongside the hulk"

Considerable interest is fe,

Considerable interest is felt in Catholic
circles as to what the expected papal en-
cyclical on "Americanism'' will contain
Recent dispatches from Rome assert that
the influences identified with Archbishop
Ireland have been losing heart for some
time, and are apprehensive that the head
OF the Church has something uncomfortable
in store for them. OF course, it is impos-
sible TO forecast what may be in the wind,
just as it is beyond the power of man to
know what the Pope may understand by
the term 'Americanism." If it be the kind
of "Americanism'' which led certain polit-
ical churchmen to make deal with the
Republican National Committee in 1892 and
another and more important one in 1896. il
should not surprise anybody to find that
Leo NIII is entirely against it.

Why is it that one man is old and de-
crepid at 45, and another hale and hearty
at so? 1t depends on the care he takes Of
himself. Often mans body gets out OF
repair-the trouble grows until it lays
him out in bed. Whenever man feels
that he is not as well as he ought to be,
whenever he is lstless, without energy
and without vitality, whenever he finds
that he is losing weight and that his or
binary work gives him undue fatigue, he
needs DR.. pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry. If he keeps on working with his
liver inactive and his blood impute-he
keeps his nerves and his body under q
constant nervous strain. He will not be
hearty when he is old. The Golden Med
ical Discovery" cures many so-called dis
eases because nearly all illness springs
from the same thing-bad digestion and
consequent impure blood. The "Discov-
cry" makes the appetite good, the diges-
ton strong, assimilation easy, and blood
rich and pure.
