ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES.
Expert Tells Why They Will Not
Come Into General Use.

CFrom the Springfield, Mass, Republican,
1T will be long time before anything
like an electric locomotive will take the
place of the locomotive that we are now
using on the Central Hudson" said the
master mechanic of that road recently
The storage battery system never has
been made practical, and the trolley sys-
tenn has too great disadvantages to per
nit of practical application. The best
device yet tried is the third rail system,
which is in practical operationi in New Eng
land in one or two places. There are
many more things to be taken into con-
Sideration before such an institution as
the third rail system could be adopted
for so big road this than person not
well posted on the business can imagine
We have immense amount of money
invested in locomotives, and if the third
rail system should be adopted the line
to operate electric locomotive as if
they were all electric. We would have
to have practically much power and as
many power houses The power can be
conveyed thirty miles. That is, we would
have to build power house every thirty
miles in order to get enough power over
the entire route. Proba bly, we would
need more power houses in such locality
this. where there are heavy grades and
heavy traffic.
The electric locomotive used in the
great tunnel of the Baltimore and Ohio

have to have it adapted for the third rail
system if We introduced electricity. do

Frau Nansen Keeps the House Bright

MAIL CONTRACT RACE.
Public Interest in the West Conferred
in the Q-Northwestern Fight.

The efforts of the postoffice department
to shorten the running time between At
lanttc and Pacific coasts to meet the de-
mandS of our commerce with the new pos
sessions in the Pacific have precipitated
hot speed rivalry between trunk lines,
west and east, that is apt to result in
some record breaking performances.
Public interest, far as the west is
concerned. centers largely in the contest
between the Burlington and Northwestern
roads for the mail contract between Chi
cago and Omaha, which was inaugurated
Monday night Although the officials of
these roads do not acknowledge that any
contest is in progress, it is known that
the Northwestern has planned to make a
demonstration of speed for seven days in
the hope that 1t may secure at least a
portion of the malls now carried by the
Burlington under contract awarded that
road in 1884. 1t is the aim of the Bur
Intgon, of course, to make as good a
showing as the Northwestern, in the be-
lief that by so doing the the government
is deprived of any excuse for taking from
1t a contract which it has retained for IA
years and which it has endeavored to fill
to the best of its ability. The effort of
the Northwestern to wrest the prize from
the Burlington, therefore, precipitates a
seven days speed contest that will call
out the best that the perfection of modern
railway equipment can furnish.-Chicago

Relic Collecting Mania of Americans
Deprives Him of Buttons.
(From the Chicago Tribune.)

(From the Chicago Tribune.)
Admiral Dewey, away off there in the
Philippines, has not been able to escape
the relic-hunting mania of Americans. To
a little girl in New Albany, Ind, he has
written a letter divulging the startling
fact that he no longer has enough buttons
left even to fasten his coat His stock Of
photograp hs was exhausted long ago. So
he was unable to reciprocate for the pic
ture of the small HooSier correspondent.
Perhaps he cannot have any more pic
lures taken because of his lamentabIe
lack of buttons, which prevents his max
ing a passable appearance before the
camera
If the foolish collecting mania Of Amer
lean young women has reduced the brave
admiral to such straits at distance of
5000 or 5000 miles, the unfortunate hero
would evidently lose his coat entirely if
he were any nearer, while if he were rash
enough to venture within bodily reach of
his prosecutors they would reduce the
whole of him small fragm entary

alties, but Hobson and Dewey are striking
examples of the dreadful ordeal that
awaits the Iater-day hero who gets with

some thing does not occur to stop the

there will be no buttons left in the Unit
ed States army or navy, and no men who
will be bold enough to wear so insecure

West Virginia Democrats Will Con-
test the Election of Scott

Charleston, W. Va, Jan. 26.-After a
contest of over two weeks, Internal
Revenue Commissioner Nathan B.Scott
was elected United States senator from
West Virginia. Many had predicted that
there would be a deadlock for weeks,
but a decisive result was reached on the
first joint ballot. The vote stood: Scott
CRep.) As; McGraw Oem.) 40; GofRep.)
As.
AS the ballot stood when the last
name was called. Scott had only AZ
votes and the deadlock, which had been
expected, seemed assured. But just be-
fore the president of the senate started
to announce the result. Delegate Hunt
arose and was recognized by the presi-
dent. He had voted for Judge Reece
Blizzard, whom he nominated and voted
for in Separate sessions the previous
day.
Il desire to change my VOTE he said
during a brief speech in which he ex-
planned his position there was a breath
less suspense. At first it appeared as
if he would joint Delegate Haptonstall,
who voted for Golf, but he cast the vote
which elected Scott. Delegate Asbury,
who had been absent during the entire
session on account of sickness, was
present and voted for Scott. The Dem
conventions. Morris, (Rep against whom
a contest was pending in the senate was
not permitted to vote and the Taylor
county seat in the house, which is claim
accordance with the compromise agree
ment reached Tuesday night between
the leaders of the two houses.
Tonight it was given out by J. F.
McGraw, the Democratic nominee that
Scott's election would be contested be-
fore the United States senate. During
the ballotting the Democrats filed pro-
tests against the votes of Getzendanner
and Pierson, whom they claim to be in
eligible because they accepted COM
mission in the volunteer army while
holding office as senators. This they
will make the ground of the contest.
The other ground will be because Scott
received only 48 votes, a majority of the
joint assembly, or of all present, but
one less than a majority of all the MEM
berS elected to the legislature. AS a
precedent they cite the Hun
ter case in Kentucky, in which the SEN
ate refused to let Hunter take his seat
because he had not received a majority
of all the members of the Kentucky leg
islature, though he had received a ma
jority of those present and voting.
Scott'S fight was directed by Senator
Elkins, who is supposed to have induced
Hunt to change from Blizzard to Scott
with the decisive vote. There is some
talk since the election of Scott about
Ohio furnishing the senators for her
neighbors on her southern and her
western boundaries, Scott as we'll as
Senator Elkins, is native of Ohio. Sen
ator-elect Beveridge and Senator Fair
