There are now approximately 80, 600
troups, regulars and volunteers, in the
Philippines. From Gen. Otis's statement
it appears that more than 1000 are i'll.
This number includes at least 1900 wound
ed. The records Of the War Department
show that on July 81 last out of the 10, Ss4
officers and men at Santiago, 1924 were
sick. The proportion Of sick TO the total
number Of men at Santiago was therefore
much greater than the proportion of sick
70 the full strength OF the army under the
command Of Gen. Otis, which has been
longer in service in the tropics and has
done much more arduous duty than that
performed by the force under Gen. Shafter.
In view Of this showing the military
authorities say that the statement Of Gen.
Otis that Y per cent of his men are sick is
not 50 discouraging as it might seem on its
face.

exciting four-mile boat races ever witnessed
in the history Of college rowing. Univer-
sity Of Pennsylvania was winner by a short

lengths in the year, and Columbia, never in
the fight after the end Of the first mile,
trailed in a good three lengths from the
stern of the Cornell boat.
The Wisconsin boys led from the start
almost to the finish, and the peculiar steer

have been necessary 10 avoid a collision
with berry crate. The official time was

Heavy British Express Engines.

The move that Mr.. John F. McIn-
tosh, OF the Caledonian Railway, made
in designing locomotives powerful
enough to haul a heavy express train
without assistance, has put other mo-
tive officials in Great Britain upon
their metal to do likewise
Among the improved designs result
ing from this movement are two en-
gines under construction at the North
Eastern Railway shops at Gateshead
designed by Mr.. Wilson Worsdell. In
the new engines MIR. W on Worsdell is
departing from the usual system of
four 7-fOot wheels coupled, and start
ing another system of six 6-foOt W heels
in diameter,) with four-wheeled
truck in front. The new
engines, of which two are being built
at present for trial, will have outside
cylinders 20 inches in diameter by 20
inches stroke, and large boiler feet
in diameter in the barrel, with fire
box feet long. The boiler will be
provided with 204 Pinch copper tubes.
and the working pressure will be 200
pounds. AS the express trains of the
future on the East Coast route
will be much heavier than at present.
these engines have been designed
by Mr.. Wordsd ell to work these heavy
trains at express speed with only one
engine instead of two, as hitherto. 1t is
hoped and anticipated that the two new
engines will be cut by the end of June,
and if they answer expectations the
North Eastern Railway Company will
build more of them. When construct
ed, the new locomotives will be the
largest and heaviest in Great Britain.

scription: No. 1884," 1t was to ipdi-

caused his death A few months ago
this engine was sent to this end of the
line from the Fort Worth divi-
sion and after being here but
q short time she was sent to the
shops,at Big Springs for general over
hauling. After skilled wOrkmen mad
pronounced the engine perfect once
more she was again sent here and
turned over to Engineer Miller. He
asked for rest and was granted it.
Engineer Schubert was fir-t called to
take the 1914 east with long freight
trails, but after considering the matter
the call hoy concluded that he would
have to recognize the laws
of the seniority list and
called Mr.. McMurrsy instead. He
accordingly notified Engineer Schu-
bert that Engineer McMurray would
have TO take charge of the engine.
Schubert implanted some but the SEN
iOrity laws prevailed and Engineer
McMurray rode to his death. The en-
CINE had been out of the shops two
months before the accident happened,
which caused the death of three men
and serious injury to another. The

FOOLISH ACT.
An Eight-Year-Old Boy Crosses the
Track in Front of the T. & p.
Limited While 1t Mas Going at
tho Data of Sd Miles an Hour,

The eight-year-old son of the engi-
neer at the S. P. pump house at Cam
bray, a station 20 miles west of here on
that line created consider
able nervousness among the
inhabitants of shat village
yesterday morning by crossing the
track Immediately in front of the east
bound T. p. flyer,
AS the limited reached swithin a
few hundred yards of that place
at 1915 yesterday morning the boy was
seen running at rapid rate in the
direction of the track. 1t was suppos-
ed by those on the engine. that
it was merely mis- boylish
anxiety to see the train pass and that
he would stop when he reached the
track and not much attention was paid
to him.
Contrary to expectations, however,
the boy crossed the track as the train
rushed by him at the rate OF 81 miles
an hour. 1t i said by those who are in
a position to know that the pilot beam
did not miss the boy foot.
1t is.customary for passenger trains
to stop at this point to take water but
on this occasion they had orders to go
to Oeming for a supply and when Cam
at an aUf full speed.
sit was a very close call for the lad, "
said enc of the crew yesterday, ''but
very often we see older people take the
same chances he did. Not only while
they are on foot but equally as danger
ous :chances have been
taken while they were in
vehicles. 1t does seem very
strange why a person cannot wait for q
moment until all danger has passed
instead of attempting to cross rail
road track almost in the face of death.
We were hustling to Deming yester-
day to get water when the lad crossed
the track and he was so close to the en-
CINE that he was made invisible by the
dust of the train. The smallest por-
ton of seconds time and the boy
would have been groun5 to pieces"

If the city feels a delicacy towards ask

street open, then let us put a tunnel
there for the convenience of those who

it would be very little trouble for the
