COMPOUND LOCOMOTIVES
periority Both for Passenger
and Freight Service.

The Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern
railroad placed in service several
months ago five large ten-wheel COM
pound passenger engines for use on
fast trains between Cincinnati and St.
Louis. The performance of these en-
gines has been eminently satisfactory
and up to the highest expectation. The
same line has also in service so con-
solidation compound freight engines,
which provides ample power for the
entire line in addition to what was al
ready in use. The compound engines
were an experiment, but hard service
has proved that they are entirely sue
cessful and show a saving of Is per
cent. in fuel as compared with simple
engines of the same type. Exhaustive
tests were made with both the simple
and compound locomotives before the
order for the entire lot was placed, with
the result vastly in favor of the COM
pound locomotives.

WILDMAN'S SUGGESTION.
Consul Mt H0nE-KOng Says Ameri.
cans Must Risk More to Compete
Successfully for China Trade.

Consul General Wildman, at Hong
Kong, in reporting to the state depart
ment on the development of trade with
China as the result of the opening up
of the Philippines, says: eff l may be
permitted to make a comparison be-
tween the trade operations of the Eng
lish, Germans and Americans l would
say that the Americans are less daring
and less confident than the other two.
The idea of even our largest manufac-
turers seems to be that they can COM
mence on this coast in small way and
build up, with the expectation that
their ventures ought to pay from the
start. There is only one way for Amer
lean manufacturers to win their way
here, and that is to thoroughly study
the market, decide whether their goods
are suitable, and then establish house
or agency large enough to command
the respect of the great Chinese houses
and the consideration of the English
and German firms that have been es-
tablished here for years."

Twenty years ago the picturesque

tinually stopped by offshoots lying al
most at the surface of the soil. The
