AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
Big Contracst Made by English RniI-
Why Cnmnauies

The State Department has received from
Consul Smyth, at Hull, an interesting COM
munication in reference to the purchase of
number OF American locomotives by an
English Railroad Company. He says:
"A few months ago the announcement
was made in some of the English papers
that the Midland Railway Company had
closed large contract for new locomotives
with American builders. This news natu-
rally created a great deal OF controversy
especially in railroad circles. where il fell
like thunder clap. The British public
nave been waiting ever since for some ex-
planation on the subject, and that was for
mally delivered yesterday at the annual
meeting of the company in Derby near
Nottingham
The reasons which prompted the COM
pany TO place this order in the United
States are explained in the abstract of
the chairman's speech:
g" 1t would be seen that the directors
had ordered some locomotives in America
and, as this was new departure. no doubt
some information on the subject would be
of interest. He would prefer to order
goods that were of home manufacture
and he might say that the question of
cost was not one that entered into the
calculations. The increase in their train
in 1898 considerably over 1000 900 miles;
and ii was obvious. therefore, that addi-
tional engines must be purchased. They
had now on order in this country 10 en-
gines. They commenced ordering in De-
cember, 1897. and the first delivery should
have been made in July of that year, and
they should have been receiving a num-
Der in eacn month. which would have made
up delivery to the present time of forty
eight engines. The company had not re-
ceived one of these. Locomotives were a
necessity TO the company; they must have
them. and so the directors determined
to ask for tenders from America. They
asked for tenders for ten engines each
from two firms-the Baldwins and Sche-
nectadys-and they received offers to de-
liver in the one case within ten weeks from
the date of the receipt Of all n scessary in
formation for construction, and In the 9TH
er case shipment from America was from
ised for March next. This offer was made
in December, so that. while the directors
could not get an engine made in England
and delivered in Derby in less than a
year and quarter they could get twenty
from America in four months"

A Popular Young Man.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
There is a small girl in town who has a very
deep and very sincere liking for her big sisters
fance-an admiration which she expresses at
every possible turn.
Being a very small girl. indeed. she goes to
at all approve, by it she only sees her fi-
ture brother-in-law when he makes his regular
Sunday visits She has suspected the state of the
case for some time but not sure of the
truth of her suspicious until the other night
Then she had nightmare and woke, crying.
Papa and mamma out-in fact. everybody
was out except big sister and the young man,
sister went up to comfort and console,
task which she found extremely difficult until
is here, and you won't want him to hear you
you know
To her surprise, the little girl swallowed her
sobs Immediately, and was asleep in two min
utes, while her big sister departed, congratuat-
ing herself upon her diplomacy.
But the next day that young man received
letter which made him open his eyes with aston
ishment, and convulsed the family when they saw
it 1t read:
you tell my cister to have you come in the day
so can see you it is not nice to go out in the
night and i lofe you than my cister dose
love from rosie"
Not a capital or punctuation mark in the whole
thing, and it too evident that the school
boy brother. who had, at her request, attended
to stamping and directing, had not criticised
the spelling.
But though the young man made his very next
call in the night, in defiance of the rules laid
down in the young lady's letter he brought a
box of candy peace Offering and COM
plants have been heard from little Miss Grundy
ever since.

The Indian Regulations.

(From the Rochester Post -EXpress.)
The popular belief that the Indians are
doomed race, and that they are rapidly dying
off, is not substantiated by the figures of the
special Indian census, that forms part of the
last general census. This census gives the Indian
population 325, I6i, of whom, however, only
ls9,i47 returned fu-biooded Indians the
remainder being those who in various ways
affiliated with the whites.
The Indians of today in narrower quar-
tiers than were their ancestors. but they are al
most as strong numerically they were a half
century ago. IN 1883 the Secretary estimated
the Indian population ,6,00O, and in the fol-
lowing year Gilbert Inlay reduced this estimate
to G0000, but both of these estimates were
doubtless far from accurate. In 1850 Schoocraft
reported the Indian population to be 3SS, ,229,
which is only 62 765 above the figures of the last
general census counting the mixed bloods These
Indians divided into nearly ninety tribes
that are recognized by the laws of the United
States, and they divided numerically among
thirty States and two Territories. One can only
feel thrill of admiration at the vitality of
that has weathered well century of
adverSity.

THE PARIS MARKETS.
Consul GOwdy Complies Some Inter-
estins Figures and Facts.

In response to a request from Western
university, Consul Gowdy writes to the
State Department, describing the markets
of Paris as as follows:
'The 'Halles Centrales' of Paris, the
great distributing point for eatables in this
city is an outgrowth of grain market
established in the eleventh century by
Louis VI, and since that epoch has been
from time TO time increased and its extent
and functions so enlarged that at the pres
ent day it consists of ten pavilions, having
a surface of 365, ,202 square feet Three en-
tire pavilions and three half pavilions are
devoted to the wholesale trade of meat,
poultry, game, tripe. fish, oysters, butter.
eggs, and cheese. The remainder of the
covered space is devoted to the retail trade.
The outside spaces are occupied by the
fruit and vegetable dealers. The merchan-
disc sold in the pavilions comes from the
adjacent departments, Algeria, and the
colonies. The sales are either through pri-
vate agreement or by auction the hours
varying according to the season of the
year and the nature of the merchandise.
THE management of the Halles is un-
der the immediate surveillance and control
of the prefet de police of the city of Paris
The sales are conducted by persons called
the representatives of shippers, thus avoid
ing the commission or middleman. The
books and records of such sales are ways
subject to the inspection of the proper au-
thorities. 1t is evident that sales accom-
plished in this manner are not only OF
benefit to the producer, but to the con-
sumner.
There is a system of caves under the
entire surface of the Halles Centraies spe-
ciaily arranged for the care of the prod
ucts sold Immediately above
THE sanitary regulations ara most
strict. the cleaning and dsinfection being
carried out in perfect manner There il

all arrivals of merchandise at the Hal,es
and that which is considered unfit for sa,

and open, as well as temporary market.
taking place in fixed localities on certain
days in the week throughout Paris. Ii
many cases the stalls of these markets ar,
supplied with goods originally purchases
at the Halles Centrales."

M'KINLEY AND HOBART AGAIN.
Republican Party Leaders Adhere 10
the Old Ticket


Thomasyille. Ga, March 1S.-It can be
stated authoritatively that at this time
there is no suggestion of keeping Vice
President Hobart off the next Republican
national ticket. On the contrary. it is the
intention TO again name Mckinley and Ho-
bart.
Mr. Hanna and other leaders OF the
party, it is declared by one who is very
close to the Administration, favor the re-
nomination of Mckinley and Hobart Mr.
Mckinley, it is said, is confident that the
party can win in the next Presidential
fight on practically the same platform as
that he stood on before In this counec-
ton. it can be said that the Administration
will not define its Philippine policy until
the very last moment before the platform
is presented to the Republican Conven-
ton.
By this plan the opposition will be kept
In doubt as to the final attitude the party
is to assume, and ii will result in the
Democrats being compelled to fight in the
dark until the Republican Convention de-
clares itself and announces the issues of
the campaign in the light of events which
may occur in the Philippines Cuba, and
Porto Rico during the next twelve months
or more
Beach, Fla, will come here and join SEN
ator Hanna's house party.
One of the men nearest the President
said yesterday that the talk that Mr..
Alger would resign is idle. Mr. AIger
has the entire confidence of the Admin
iStration and will remain in his place -
the authority stated.

An Optical Illusion.
(From the cleveland plain Do,1

(From the Cleveland Plain Deaer)
In the Colonial Arcade, near the Euclid Ave.
nue. entrance, is large mirror, placed at such an
angle that it reflects objects from the opposite
direction. That is, if you look in and see a
street coming apparently from down the
street, it is in reality coming up the street.
OF course, it has to be looked at from the proper
angle, and if the glance is only hurried one,
the illusion is perfect.
Some time ago lady of rather fussy appear
waiting near the arcade entrance. She
evidently wanted a car going cast, because every
few minutes she would hurry to the door and
peer down the street Presently she happened
to glance in the mirror. Then she gave start
and ran out to the sidewalk and glanced down
the highway.
''Where is itH" she cried.
Just then car going west rumbled by, and
the woman stared at it. and then turned and
looked suspiciously at the tricky mirror There
were two or three men standing in the entrance,
and they couldn't help smiling at her fdgety
actions
She detected the smiles.
That's no joke to play on a lady, she said.
with much haughtiness. then turned abruptly
and gtalked down the street

At JekyI Island.

That the President, the Speaker of the
House, and other public men should re-
quire a rest after an exacting session of
in the recent session to exhaust the ener-
gies of persons holding responsible places
1t was natural, therefore, that the Presi-
dent should go to the winter home OF his
friend and political manager, Senator Han
na, in Georgia. Perhaps the inference was
inevitable that this would be made the
occasion for planning the next campaign
good deal of preliminary work must be
done to secure control of the Republican
convention and fix the issue. The time
between this and the meeting of that
body can be used to overcome the opposi-
tion of politicians who have been sighted
and to distribute Federal offices where they
will influence delegations. The President
can really rest by allowing Senator Han
ma and such party leaders as he may COM
suit to work out the problems, himself
merely accepting the results of their la
bors.
Speaker Reed. also, needs a rest. The
duties of Gar are not light especially
when the Car is not without Presidential
aspirations and has a grievance against
the Administration. He has had to be atten-
tive in order to place in important commit
tees only the men who can be trusted to
carry out his suggestions and he has had
to have foresight to check the movements
of the Administration to strengthen its
party influence. But it is surely strange
that he, too, should select Georgia for his
resting place and for only a week. There
are at least thousands of places in this
country where he could have all the rest
fulntss that Jekyl Island has to offer. There
must be some magnet that draws both the
| President and the Speaker to that small
| ard remote spot at exactly the same time,
and it is very strange that neither should
know that the other intended to go there
at a particular time.
! Evidently somebody is resolved to br ng
/ the two together TO effect a reconciliation
! in the interests of Republican harmony
/ During the sessions of the late Congress
! the Speaker persistently fought every Ad-
ministration measure from the annexation
OF Eawaii to the retention of the Philip
pines, and including the building Of the
( Nicaragua Canal There will be an effort
! TO make some sort of dicker, and in event
/ of its success, Mr.. Mckinley will be more
! certain of another nomination. What
/ Speaker Reed is TO get besides re-elec-
( tion 10 the throne is not clear, beyond
/ special favors TO the corporations whose
! interests he seems TO guard
/ BY reason of his patriotic course since
r.
Mr.. Mckinley deserves a denomination at
! the hands OF his party; and unless the
Democracy adhere TO the expansion prin-
ciples of jefferson as well as the doctrines
OF the last convention. while forcing a fight
against the increasing trusts, he will have
a fair show for reelection. Whatever he
may deserve, a good deal of hard work has
: TO be done to get it, perhaps even the
work of effecting amicable relations with
Mr.. Reed. Yet the meeting of Hanna and
Reed to consider Republican policy is cal
. cCiated to make patriots uneasy.

plan TO commemorate the historical events
preceding the formation of the Greater
New York. called on Mayor Van Wyck yes
terday His visit was at the suggestion of
large number of well-known New York
artists.
Mr. Belmont expected 10 meet a COM
mittee OF artists at the City Hall but to
his surprise Amasa Thornton, the RepUb-
lican politician, was there showing great
interest in this art matter. Mayor Van
Wyck was informed by Mr.. Belmont that
under chapter S95 of the laws OF 1898 the
city of New York is authorized TO expend
annually the sum of S50.000 for works OF
art the production of American artists for
the purpose OF beautifying public build
ings and grounds of the city. The histori-
cal memories congregated around the for
nation of the Greater New York, he said.
should be cOmmemorated, and he asked
that provision be made for the painting of
portraits or the execution of busts OF
Thomas c. Plat, Andrew II. Green and
James s. T. Stranahan. and also that OF
Robert \. Van Wyck as the first mayor of
the new city.
1t was also suggested that the city add
the portraits of all the ex-mayors OF New
York now living. They are eN-Mayors Ely.
Cooper. Grace. Edison. Hewitt. Grant, Gil
roy and Strong. These portraits are TO be
placed in the City Hall.
Mayor Van Wyck in answer TO the re-
quest said:
This is an excellent idea and | am
certain the city will carry il out. l do not
want my portrait painted at this time.
You gentlemen will have to wait until |
am dead before you will see that painting
