Its economical feature. 1t is well
known that rails wear rapidly on

traffic heavy. the cost of renewal is
very large. Manning has evolved a
section, which. he asserts, will reduce
the cost 81 per cent per ton per year.

Dakota, giving details of the opera
tons of his regiment in the fighting OF
February I'd and Sd, was made public
at the War Department to-day. This
regiment repuIsed an early morning
attack by the Filipinos. There were
several movements during the early
day, and sometimes the enemy occu-
pied the ground which had been once
covered by companies of the South
Dakota regiment. Afterward guns of
the Utah battery were brought into ac-
ton, and did effective work in driving
the insurgents out OF the WOODS, ana
from the cover they had sought when
repulsed by the infantry.
Colonel Frost speaks in high terms OF
Major Charles A. Howe, Captains A.
L. Fuller and A. B. Sessions and Ad-
jutant Jonas H. Lyon, who commanded
different detachments of the regiment.
General Anderson made report on

He concurred in the report of the In

candles were left burning, SO that they
would set fire to the buildings, which
they burned down. Two Filipinos were
taken in women's clothes, who evid-
IDENTIFY were incendiaries. The natives
in the vicinity of the fires all had their
effects packed ready to move. Gen
eral Anderson commends Captain Otis
for preserving order under difficult cir

MAZET INVESTIGATION.
Police Captain Price on the Wit.
ness Stand.

NEW YORK, June 7.-For several
nours to-day the Mazet Investigation
committee sweltered and listened to
testimony that at no time produced
startling or particularly weighty state
menus, but just as the committee was
about to adjourn for the day a slight
clash occurred between the Mazeteers
and court of law.
Subpenas We're issued by Magistrate
Olmstead and served upon the members
ana on the counsel for the committee to
attend the examination of Henry C.
henderson tomorrow morning in the
Center-street Police Court Henderson
is Captain Prices counsel. and was
elected from the courtroom last week.
Mr.. Mazet Immediately said that the
committeeman would not answer. as
members of the Legislature were not
amenable to ordinary subpenas. Mr.
Hoffman differed, saying that as the
Legislature was not in session there
was no ammunition
Mr. Moss, to smooth over matters.
SAID he would send a note to Magis-
trate Olmstead asking that the hearing
De set Tor some time when it would not
interfere with the committees work. as
until tomorrow morning.
The most important witness exam
ined to-day was Captain Price. and the
main work of the committee was in ex-
amn1ng Price and other witnesses in
an effort to show that the police
captain had not attended to his
duty as police officer. Much
of the same enmity that was
shown the committee by Price on pre-
v1ous days was also exhibited to-day.
and the Captain was noticeably defiant
and menacing in his attitude toward
Mr.. Moss.
Once during the proceedings Mr.. Moss
tried to have Price removed from the
sitting because of an insolent response
ne made to question from the commit
tee.
The committee yesterday deprived
Price of the privilege of counsel. and
to-day it required that if he wished to
put any questions to the committee he
must first reduce them to writing.
Other witnesses were examined to
show that the poolrooms, policy shops
and other gambling houses were run
ming in the tenderloin district without
moiestation from the police.
Captain Price denied that there were
such establishments in the district. and
several other policemen pleaded ignor-
anee of their existence.
Hugh Bonner, former Chief of the
Fire Department, and Edward s.
Croker, acting Chief were also on the
stand, but their testimony was in no
way important.

FIRE IN GEORGIA.
A Quarter of Million Dollars Fig
ured Up as the Loss.

AUGUSTA (Ga.), June THE largest
fire in Augustus history in many years
burned the same district that was
swept seven years ago, when the Au-
gusta Chronicle" was destroyed. Sew
eral buildings that escaped at that time
are now smoking ruins. The losses ag-
gregate quarter of million dollars.
The fire started in the drug store of
Davenport & Phinizy. A negro was
mixing a pot of Venus turpentine.
which is hard rosin melted and mixed
with turpentine. Fire got in the pot,
and the flames spread so rapidly that
employees in the front of the store
barely had time to escape.
Savannah and Macon We're teie-
graphed for assistance, and special
trains were in readiness when word
was sent that the fire had exhausted
itself.
During the hight of the excitement
10000 rounds of cartridges in the arm
ory. which was burned, began to ex-
plode, and for an hour there was an
incessant fusillade OF shots.
Burning embers were carried by a
high wind block away, and two or
three frame buildings were burned.
