WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, Jan. End, 1899

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, Jan. End, 1899
The extremely critical condition of
affairs in the Philippines will doubtless
hasten the ratification of the treaty of
peace by the Senate. This government
cannot take the step necessary to bring
Aguinaldo and his ignorant followers to
their senses until the treaty has been
ratified. The President is using all his
influence with Senators to hasten &C
ton on the treaty, which will 60 to the
Senate the first thing after the reassem-
bling of Congress. Under ordinary cir.
cumstances, the committee on Foreign
Relations would keep the treaty two or
three weeks before reporting it back to
the Senate, but the President hopes to
have it reported back to the Senate in
side of two days and to have it voted
upon inside of two weeks. More than
seventy Senators have promised to vote
to ratify the treaty, so that it is only a
question Of getting it to vote. If the
opponents Of the treaty will be content
tostate their objections in short speeches
and not do any talking against time,
the Presidents wishes can be met, but
the rules of the Senate providing for
unlimited debate will make it easy for
them to delay the treaty, if they are so
disposed and are not afraid OF arousing
public enmity thereby.

Formal possession was taken Of Ha-
vana on Sunday last, January lst, 1899.
The Spanish flags were replaced BY
American and the various civil Offices
were formally surrendered. There was
much disorder in that CITY for a week
or ten days prior to that date, since
when few disturbances have been re-
ported. We will find 1T difficult mat
ter, for time at least, to prevent COL
lisions between the two classes in Cuba,
the hereto fore governing Spauiard and
the governed Cuban, but firmness and
strict impartiality will eventually bring
about quiet and order.

More Money Than He Can Spend.

The average man is bothered because
he hasn't money enough to spend, but
Mr.. James F. Burns of Cripple Creek,
COL, is embarrassed for the very oppo-
site reason. To tell the plain truth, 1t
keeps Mr.. Burns-Jimmie, they call
him out West-busy devising ways to
get rid of his surplus revenue. He has
ever so much more money than he can
spend in any reasonable way His In
come is about $4,000 a month, and,
being a bachelor with modest wants,
it can be seen that he Is actually SUI
fer!ng with a plethora Of cash.
Mr.. Burns is an agreeable, pleasant
spoken man OF about IS years, and is
President of the biggest gold mine In
the world, the Portland, Of which he Is
also chief owner. One month its out
put of the yellow metal was $125 900, or
lust one-tenth Of the entire production
of the Cripple Creek district.
Said Mr.. Burns: II have lived In Col
orado eleven years, and before that
was in Cuba for ten years. There is
lots Of gold down there, but l spent a
fortune trying to get 1t out of the
ground. The thieving Spaniards won't
let anybody prosper down there, and
they bled me to my ruin.
Eyes, I also got my white hair down
there. I was sleeping on the ground
one night when boa constructor began
to coil himself about my body. man
aged to get tight hold about his neck
and held him until companion killed
the monster. But I was in an agony
of terror, and the shock turned my hair
to its present color"

Electric Headlights for Locomotives.


Numerous experiments have been
made with electric headlights for loco
motives, and the advantages Of this
form Of lamp seem to be generally con-
coded. In system that has met with
considerable success, steam turbine
Is used to drive dynamo, both en-
CINE and dynamo being mounted on the
smoke-box, behind the lantern. The
entire apparatus Is 20 inches long, 1S
inches high, and IS inches wide. The
steam is directed against the rim of
a wheel which has Ave concentric
buckets, upon which the steam must
impinge before 1t passes into the ex-
haust chamber. The normal speed Is
1900 revolutions per minute, and about
/ horsepower is developed. The dyna-
mo produces a current Of rs amperes
at 40 volts pressure. which is supplied
to incandescent lamps in the cab, as
we'll as to the headlight, which con-
sists OF an arc light Of about 1000 can
die power. This apparatus has been
used on more than 200 locomotives,
and is growing in popularity.

It has been demonstrated repeatedly In

attended all three. The prominence
of the deceased statesman and diplomat
and the great personal popularity OF
both, prevented the White House reoep
ton being as gay as usual and served
as reminder that last years reception
had to be abandoned because of the
death of the Presidents mother. Had
the President followed his personal in
clination he would have abandoned this
one on account of these two deaths, but
this reception is an official affair and it
was thought best to hold it.
The first certificate for prize money,
on account of vessels captured during
the war with Spain, has BEEN issued.
It was issued to Thomas Cheek, whose
home is in Washington, and who served
as 4 landsman on the converted cruiser
st. Paul. The prize In this case was
the Spanish steames Rostormal, which
was afterwards released by the prize
court. Her cargo was condemned and
sold, and it is for his share of the pro-
ceeds that this certificate was issued to
Mr.. Cheek. 1t is only for 81 70, but
being the first issued some relic hunter
will probably pay moro than that for it
and keep it,linstead of presenting it for
payment. Captain Sigsbee's certificate
in the same prize case will call for more
than 5000.
The new 81 silver certificates are now
being paid out by the Treasury and will
soon be in general circulation. The de-.
Sign is entirely new, made with a view
to meet the complaints against the old
design. The distinguishing features of
the face of the note are spread eagle
with the United States flag In it's talons
and the capital in the background, one
very large mineral and the seal, both
in blue, and miniature portraits of Lin
coin and Grant, surrounded by laurel
wreaths. The back of the note il printed
in green, and on back and front there Is
more white paper to be seen than on
