Rnilroading,

To shovel 19,o26 pounds of GOAL
from tender into furnace of an
engine, while train is running
1O4 miles up and down hill, through
dale, and scooting around corners
is a feat that few men can accom-
plish, yet fireman on passenger
engine running 80 miles an hour
has this to do, every time an engine
is run 1O4 miles. This is an aver
age of five shovels full of coal every
minute during tho entire running
time. Think of it! A man stand
ing before the furnace door for
three hours and half, while the
train is laundering along at a speed
averaging 35 miles an hour. While
he is doing this, he must keep his
eye open for the care of machinery
on his side of tho monstrous iron
horse. The fireman must not only
watch the steam guage, but must
keep the fire box cleaned out, so
the coal will burn quickly and
evenly all over the furnace. When
the train stops for water, it is the
fireman's place TO look after the
tank. AS soon as his run is COM
pleted, he must groom the iron
monster; assist in cleaning up the
brasses; oil the engine and look
after numerous other details. Is it
a wonder that good fireman is said
to be the most valuable man, not
excepting the officers, on the road? 2,
and yet his pay is not commensurate
with his work.

LaTE PHILIPPINE REPORTS.

Two extended reports Of the Philippine situation
have recently been published One relates to
the necessities of the military situation and its
requirements That situation arises in the practically
unanimous devotion OF the people to the repre-
sented by Aguinado. 1t is announced that in order
to bring the people their senses strict coast and
inland blockade has been found necessary to cut off
food supplies and starve into submission the non
military supporters of the Agunaldo Government
Spain always found this policy necessary in dealing
with her disobedent subjects in the Philippines and
in Cuba Weyer applied it with strictness and
severity which decmated the population, but even
then did not succeed. The resources OF Spain and
her power to make such policy successful did not
equal ours, and there is doubt that we can, not
only continue to prevail have in the field opera
tons against those people, but that can strike
them far more fatally and effectively by starvation
They are dense population. They apparently
united and will fight as long as they can feed They
have deadly climate their ally When we use
starvation as ours have the odds by reason of our
superior strength and inexhaustible military re-
sources. The island OF Cuba has only million and
half of people and it was estimated that Weyler
had disabled more than half OF them by starvation
and had by that destroyed the lives of quarter

Peace Commission held elections for Mayor in sew

pie of San Pedro Macate, Bauag linus and some
other cities elected Mayors who took charge of the

The dense population renders this easier than it looks

THE STATE FAIR.

= OOD reports come from Sacramento to the
I effect that the prospects OF the State Fair
- exceptionally bright and promising. In the
spacious pavilion every inch of the floor space has
been taken by exhibitors with the understanding that
their booths possess artistic merit and that in
their displays nothing commonplace will be allowed
1t is particularly gratifying to note that entries
already made show that the exhibits of California
products in all departments OF the pavilion display
will be large, varied and of high class. Such
hbits will be sure attract the particular attention
OF all visitors, whether they be Calfornans persons
from other States The chief object of the fair is to
afford an opportunity for annual exhibits OF the pro-
gress OF the industrial development Of the State in
all branches, and a consequence the dominant
thought in the mind of an intelligent student of the
exhibit will be to see how far that development has
gone and what it has accomplished in the way OF
providing for all the needs of civilization.
There is no why the State Fair should not
attain on the Pacific Coast such eminence in the way
of an annual exposition to attract and hold the
attention of people in all parts of the country 1t
should be an exhibit at which men can see each year
what has been accomplished in their lines of indus
try what improvements have been made in mple-
ments and machinery and what results achieved by
new methods OF work whether it be agricultural me-
chanical artistic.
The Directors of the State Agricultural Society
have this year made efforts to awaken an
interest in the Fair among all classes of citizens and
in all localities. They have offered strong induce
ments for county exhibits and for the display of the
products OF cities The result of their efforts will be
but partially disclosed this year. for the impetus given
now will go to the succeeding year and tend to
make the exhibits of 1900 better than those of
this season. The outlook therefore, is promising not
only for the present but for the future and all Cali
fornians may well be gratifed with the prospect

SUPREMACY In THE TRANSVAAL

u NE by one the minor points in the controversy
| between the Beers and the British have been
~ eliminated and the crisis is now reached on the
single issue of which of the two Governments has
paramount authority over the Transvaa.
According to late reports President Kruger and
the Boer Council willing to concede everything
the British Commissioner has demanded but couple
the concession with the condition that it be recog
nized as a concession only and that Great Britain
abrogae all her claims of suzeranty over the repub-
lie On the other hand, the Salisbury Government
is more persistent in asserting suzerainty than in de-
mandng redress for the alleged wrongs done to the
Outlanders and the issue is thus brought to point
that undoubtedly portends war.
In a speech delivered at Birmingham on Saturday
Mr. Chamberlain declared the situation to be threat
ening and condemned President Kruger for pro-
crastinatng and for making offers accompanied by
conditions which he knows will not be accepted The
speaker went on to say the action of the Beers
pei the British to strengthen their force in South
Africa and make ready for war He added:
If this delay continues much longer we shall not
hold ourselves limited by what we have already
offered but having taken this matter in hand we will
not let go until we have secured conditions which,
once for ALL will establish as the paramount power
in South Africa and secure for us our objects there
equal rights and privileges promised by President
Kruger when the Transvaal's Independence was
granted.
1t appears we are about to witness another scene
of that long drama in which the weak peoples are
crushed to make room for aggressive ambitions of
the strong. The little nations are being swallowed
up by the benevolent assimilation of the big nations
with imperial missions to civze the world and estab-
ish liberty through the power OF the heavier guns and
the larger battaons The Beers however, are going
to be tough morsel for even voracious lion as
that OF Her Britannia Majesty to swallow Kruger's
procrastinaton has not been waste OF time He has
been arming his brave Beers for final struggle for
the independence of their country and it may be that
through his indomitabe courage the Transvaal may
stand in Africa like Switzerland in Europe-the home
of unconquered and unconquerable freemen.

income of Stewart. He was a figure in
all the great merchants projects. In the
fifties he married. Then he became Judge
of the Court of Common Pleas. In 1863 he

the largest individual property owner on

estate values on 1t. Ninety per cent of
the other owners had supreme confidence
in his Judgment, and their consent to the

Hilton eloquently dwelt on the vast rev.

for their splendid enterprise. Mr.. Stew
art was captivated by the project and
pledged himself to take something like

held, directors were elected and Henry
Hilton was chosen pEesident~of the board.

THE LATE JUDGE HILTON.

FUDGE HENRY HILTON, who died
1 last Thursday In New York, became
l conspicuous through his connection
ri with the estate of Alexander Stewart,
~ the dry goods millionaire.
The first dozen years Of Hilton's life
have always been hidden in mystery. His
parentage, the exact place OF his birth
and even the date Of his birth are un-
known He would never tell of them.
But from the best information obtain
able the ex-Judge was born In New York
city about seventy-f1ve years ago, and
1t is said his father was carter. The
first thing definitely known IS that he be-
came a clerk in the law office of Camp
bell & Cleveland in Grand street, when
he was about 15 years old.
An indefatigable worker, he became
managing clerk Of the firm and was such
when Alexander Turnly Stewart, the man
a client of the firm, was being talked
about as very successful business man.
Stewards business was gradually out
growing his store at Broadway and
Chambers street, and he was planning to
build a great white marble structure that
try.
his plans The lawyers turned them over
in a great measure to the managing clerk
with the subordinate. The big structure
which Stewart erected was in great part
the result of young Hilton's advice.
A few years later Hilton resigned every
thing else to become private counsel and
confidential secretary of the great mer-
chant prince. He soon became acquainted
with every detail of the vast business. He
counseled Stewart TO move uptown. The

THE CONGRESSIONAL OUTLOOK.

IRON interviews obtained by The Call and
the New York Herald, with members OF Con-
L gress the public is given for the first time rel-
able information concerning the course winch VIII
be pursued at the coming session upon the important
questions OF the Speakership OF the House. the lead
ershp OF the minority and the issues OF currency
reform and OF trusts
For some time past it has been pretty well under
stood that despite the number OF aspirants for the
SDeakership, David B. Henderson OF Iowa would be
chosen for the position The poll made by The Call
and the Herald now shows that Hendersons lead has
become so strong his competitors have virtually re-
tired from the contest and the prospect is he will be
elected without opposition in his own party Ihe
Democrats are not so we'll agreed as to whom they
will choose for their leader. The many factions OF
that party in the country have or less represen-
tation in Congress and the factional disputes there
are as notable as elsewhere. Nevertheless the indl-
cations are the leadership will be given to DeArmond
OF Missouri the party being about tired OF Bailey
OF Texas as he is tired OF trying to lead who will
not be led
One of the most satisfactory disclosures made by
the interviews is the strength OF the sentiment among
Republican members in favor OF graphing with the
currency problems in earnest and at once. From the
statements made it is learned the Republican Con
gressmen are virtually united in support of the
rency bill which will be reported by the currency
committee named by the Republican caucus They
expect this measure to establish the gold standard
unequivocay and to increase national bank circula-
ton, while breaking the endless chain OF green
backs. Democrats from the South and West will ad-
free silver coinage, the withdrawal OF national
bank circulation the retention OF the greenback sys-
tom and the removal OF the tax State bank-notes.
On the subject OF trusts the interviews are naturally
more vague than the other questions. That issue
has not yet been clearly defined. The introduction
Of this and powerful force in the world OF indus
try and trade has caused a disturbance OF business
conditions and inevitably engendered antagonisms.
Consequently, there is good deal of clamor against
trusts but much OF is unreasonable that which
was raised in former generation against the intro
duction OF machinery.
Senator Depew has expressed the conviction that
in the next Presidential campaign both parties will
declare against trusts in the national platform and
that neither would undertake to suppress them Such
d declaration while cynical is not far from the truth
Intelligent OF all parties recognize that some re-
strictions must be placed upon trusts to prevent
abuses but until the nature of these abuses is more
fully understood and definite policy in regard
to them is formulated the issue cannot be made one
