THE HEAVIEST D. g. O. TRAIN.

When the receivers OF the Baltimore
e Ohio Railroad began the now famous
series of improvements OF the physi-
cal condition of the entire system,
their object was to increase both the
train load and the number OF revenue
tons per mile and at the same time
reduce the cost of transportation.
Much has been done, and by the low
ering of grades, elimination of curves,
laying OF new steel rails and the pur-
chase of heavy motive power they have
very materially added to the number OF
cars per train. But 1t was not until
the 18th OF March last that a demon
stration was made OF what might be
expected of the new Baltimore q Ohio
Railroad. Enough new 50-ton capac-
ity steel cars had been delivered to
give the operating department chance
to experiment Fifty steel cars, each
weighing $4,000 pounds, were loaded
with an average of $4,000 pounds OF
coal. To them was coupled a new
22x28 inch consolidation locomotive
weighing 168,700 pounds and having
81 inch driving wheels. The start was
made from Cumberland. Nd, and the
destination was Brunswick, Md, on
ZIG oSSohu III lie TepOiI oCh-
eral Superintendent Fitzgerald says
the train was pulled with comparative
ease and that the class of engines used
will be able to handle 80 cars OF so
tons capacity each on that division
without trouble. Hitherto the train
load on that division has been 325 units
OF 611 tons each or about 1900 tons.
40 per cent increase over that OF five
years ago. The so car train was COM
puted as containing 497 units, or $685.
100 pounds gross The net weight OF
coal In the train was 4.768. 100 pounds.
1t was by far the heaviest train ever
handled over the line and demonstrat-
ed that heavy power, modern equip
ment with safety appliances, and a
good track. mean more revenue tons

assent the old waiter withdrew.
The window overlooked the sea, and
the masses of seaweed and heaps of
wreckage with which the beach was
strewn testified to the violence of the
storm.
Having completed his toilet, he at
once descended to the sltting-room.
The door was partly ajar, and he en-
tered without knocking only to stag

rested on the man VINO was sitting

broad-shouldered young fellow with
a handsome, reckless face, dropped his

Many Fatalities In Japan.

Oriental advices say that a terrible
hurricane swept the japanese coast
from July to IL. In Ushijimamura,
Dye district, Kushima prefecture, 20
houses were washed away and so per-
sons were killed and 80 are missing.
In lsajemura, Itano district, the same
prefecture, over 40 houses were demol-
ished and many people are missing
At Aigumura, Kitsmoro district, Miyo
prefecture, landslide occurred on the
night OF July 10, owing to the heavy
rain. Five houses were crushed under
the debris and % persons were either
killed or injured.

WAR NOT ES,

Regarding the duty to which Ad-
miral Dewey may be assigned upon
his arrival at Washington it is safe to
say that the post has not as yet been
selected. There Is apparently no doubt,
however, that the admiral will be sta
toned in Washington at the head of a
strong board, possibly the board of in
spection and survey, whose duties will
be enlarged so as to take in questions
OF policy relating to ship construction.
Should board of admirals be the re-
suit of the reorganization of the me-
chanical bureaus of the department, as
promised by those who favor such a So
luton next to the retention of the pres
ent system, in case the secretary is de-
termined to modify it, then there is lit
tie doubt that the admiral will be made
the head of the board.
A recent meeting Of veterans of the
Cuban war of independence is causing
considerable comment. Mayla Roderi-
guez presided at the meeting, at which
the organization declared itself to be
the only legal representative of the
Cuban revolution. A resolution was
adopted demanding that the United
States make formal declaration of it's
intentions and supposed rights, based
upon the resolution passed by congress
in April, 1898. The Cuban census
commissioners, recently appointed,
were criticised, papers saying they
were nonentities and unknown men,
whose work would be unacceptable to
the Cubans Gen. Andrade said the
United States was fast sucking Cuba
dry.
mass meeting was held at Havana
on July Both under the auspices of the
Sociedad Democratico, brand of the
Cuban National Society of Indepen-
dence. A procession paraded the
streets for two hours, headed by a
band and bearing banners with the in
scription, Cuba is and by right ought
to be free" and peace work
Two girls dressed to represent Cuba
and America rode in the procession.
Cuba Libre was presented by girl
with broken chains on her wrist. A
few American flags were to be seen on
the streets, but hundreds of Cuban
emblems were displayed.
Lieut.. Eberly, flag lieutenant of the
Oregon, under Capt Barker, who re-
Gently arrived in Washington from the
Philippines, brought some interesting
details of the situation in Manila. He
says that the social and sanitary con-
ditions in Manila are better than is
generally believed in the United States
and better than would be naturally
supposed after such short American
occupation.
Word received from Gen. Otis on the
Goth reports another engagement with
bandits in Cebu in which the Ameri-
cans had one private killed and the
enemys loss was five bandits killed
and seven captured
Admiral Sampson does not intend to
relinquish command of his squadron,
as was int;mated, until after the re-
turn of Admiral Dewey, and perhaps
not until next winter
The work of organizing volunteer
regiments in the Philippines is pro-
crossing finely. Already 900 men have
enlisted and 400 applications are
pending.
The total number of enlistments for !
the new regiments up to and includ-
ing Aug. %, was 4,267.

trayed Him.
A rich American, residing in the st.
Georges quarter in Paris, had been for
some little time past the victim Of sys-
tematic thefts says the London Post.
Bank notes and money not left under
lock ana key disappeared regularly NJ.
Corvette, the commissary of police,
was informed of the robberies. He
found 1t would be impossible to keep
an effective watch on the bedroom
where the thefts occurred, but he
adopted stratagem which turned out
successfully. A small vial containing
a mixture Of picric acid and fuschine
was placed in a metal case for holu-
ing gold and a few Napoleons were
placed on top. In order to get out the
gold the metal case had to be held up
side down, and then, of course, the
chemical preparation would run out
and stain the thief's hand a bright and
indelible yellow. AS soon as some Of
the gold was missed NJ Corvette sum-
moned all the servants to his presence.
The Wallets fingers betrayed him. Re-
alizing the uselessness OF denying
when caught yellow handed, the man
confessed and was duly locked up.
