SECRET ADVlCES SHOW THAT FRANCE IS PRE-
 PAIRING FOR
WAR WITH GREAT BRITAIN
An Alleged Interview With Frent1 Minister of Marine, Creates
 a Stir in London.

London, February 4 Ar alleged interview with the French minister of the marine, M. Lockroy, pub Iished in a Rome paper, has created considerable stir in some quarters of London, as it is held to show that France has in no wise buried the hatchet, bus it determined to attack Great Britain at the first oppor. tunity. The people here, however, hardly credit the veracity Of the interview. in which M. Lockroy be gins by describing the British naval organization as being all bum- bug, and saying the English are only brutal force of numbers.
 The minister of the marine is also quoted as declaring war with Great Britain iaeyitable, and he is said to have added in consequence; Let England continue to construct big warships. Our naval program is steel plated, powerful, swift crois- CTS, torpedo-boat destroyfrs and submarine boats"
 The British newspapers apparent ly have taken these utterances serl- ously and are urging the govern ment to reply ito words with deeds.
 These French menaces seem to ac- cord with confidential information to the effect that military and naval circles here are convinced France means war. Secret advice7, it ID pears, have been received at the British war office, showing that the French authorities are noise.essly preparing for the struggle. In fact, it is even said the Napoieouic idea of an invasion of Great Britain is evolving in the minds of French military authorities, and at the
  present moment 8 gradual but silent movement is said to be proceeding towards The northern coast of France, where, in two months time, it is asserted, about 15O, GOO men will be concentrated.
 The British war authorities are determined not to wait Frances convenience, but to call her hand, " as they did in the Fashoda incident, and declare they regard eonsentra- tion of troops as an act of war.
 In the meanwhile the British navy [ is paying the greatest attention to gunners The channel squadron has been for a week engaged every morning in firing practice at moving targets. The results are being care fully noted.

numbers on many freight cars in &C
cordsnce with: instructions recently
issued in regard to certain series. AL
of the eleven thousand coal ears will

question of higher first cost ought tc
receive no consideration in such inn
portant NJ EN- bers of the car as wheels.
We never believed that cast iron
VIII cells were sufficiently reliable to be
used under passenger cars even in the
days of slow speeds aud light loads,
and we certainly think that with the
existing conditions of train service,
using cast iron wheels is exceedingly
short sighted policy, TO say the least of
it. Some makers of car wheels are SO
careful in the manufacturing processes
that their wheels very rarely fail in
service, but that is not the rule, and
inferior cast iron wheels are loo COM
mon to have the lives of a trainload of
passengers dependent upoo their hold
ing together. Even the best of cast
iron wheels are liable to
go to pieces under certsin
trying circumstances. A common ex-
perience in our snowy regionsis for Q
passenger train to be braked down q
long steep grade, where the wheels be-
come so hot that sudden chilling will
induce fracture. Running into q snow
bank produces the chilling and an &C
cident is likely to result. For passen-
ger service no part of the equipment
which provides safety should be used
except the beet. Steel-tired wheels are
generally admitted to be the safest,
and therefore nothing less reliable
ought to be permitted. We certainly
hope that the Master Mechanics COM
mittee will report in favor of steel-tir-
ed wheels.-Locomotive Engineering.

of mile day and it is thought that
the line will reach Three Rivers this

and all concerned are happy.
1t is the intention of the E. P. & N.

market and supply as much of the mar
ket as possible. There are large forces
working on the development of the
coal mines at present and when rail is
laid 20 that point ell that will be neces-

the cara and signal the engine er to pull
out for Ell Paso.
The people of that vicinity are de-
lighted over the arrival of the new

that locality to develop very rapidly.
