WHY NOT SHIPS ALsOt

At Philadelphia a day or two ago, an
immense British steamship began taking
on board a consignment of twenty loco
motives for the Great Siberian Railway.
They were made at the Baldwin Locomo-
tive Works Of that city, and were part
of an order from the Russian govern
ment, for sixty locomotives The entire
sixty are to be delivered TO the Russian
government by the end of this year.
A great many locomotives are built In
this country for foreign countries. This
year. thus far. 240 have been built at the
Baldwin Locomotive Works. They were
shipped TO England. Russia, France, ia
pan. India. China, Africa Mexico, Cuba
san Domingo Brazil, Holland, Finland.
Central America Norway, Egypt, Hawaii
and the Barbados Our foreign trade in
locomotives is immense. and it is growing
every year. The reason is that Ameri-
can locomotives are regarded as the best
in the world.
But what strikes the thinking Ameri-
can is this: Why is it that we cannot
beat the world in shipbuiding as we do
in locomotive building? our locomotives
intended for foreign customers are MOI
carried to their destinations in Ameri-
can ships They are carried in ships
which sail under the British flag
Is there more skin required to build a
ship than there is 10 build locomotive?
We are certain there Is not. 1t is safe
to say that the wages pafd TO locomotive
mechanics are as high as those paid 10
the mechanics who build ships. Why is
it then, that our shipbuiders say that
they must have protection in order to
make the shipbuilding interest flourish?
The builders of locomotives do not ask
for protection and they have none. And
yet they lead the world in building loco
motives. Their machines are marketed in
almost every land.
As far as We can see there Is no reason
why we shouldn't build and own the ships
necessary to carry our commerce, and
also build ships for other countries.
If our shipbulders would cease
depending upon the government and
go TO work earnestly to establish the ship
building industry, in a very few years
our shipbuildlng interest would be as
thriving as our locomotive building in
terest our wheat, and corn, and manu-
featured products wouldn't be carried to
foreign markets in British vessels. They
would be carried in American built ships
and millions of dollars annually which
now go into the pockets of foreign ship
owners would remain at home to enrich
our own people.

New York has had several strikes lately.
The hottest and most picturesque of them
ALL however, is that of the newsboys, who
have declared war on two of the afternoon
newspapers which have considerably in
creased their prices TO the boys. KID
Blink" is the leader of the strikers, and
the kid and his followers are believers
in using violence on those boys who dare
TO sell the forbidden papers against the
Instructions of the strikers. AS a conse-
quence there is a constant succession of
fights between the youngsters.

A wise man of Massachusetts some time
ago wrote his will in which he directed
that certain of his property should be dis
trbuted to certain persons. One day last
week he sent for his proposed bench
Charles and told them that he had made
the requests. but knowing how easy II
was to tangle up viii in legal red tape
he had determined to make the distrl-
button in person, so that he might be sure
his intentions were carried out, and they
might have no difficulty about obtaining
the sums he intended them to have.
Whereupon he made the distribution, and
tore up the win and dropped it into the
waste basket Being a wise man, he did
moi give away all Of his property but
retained enough 10 meet his own wants
Tor as many years as he might live.

Only gold is now being sent TO Manila
with which to pay the United States
troops. The reason why was explained by
Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts at the meeting
of the Maryland Bankers Association at
Ocean city the other day. He said that
during the past few months the Manila
ants had eaten up 10000 of paper curren-
cy, hence the government found it neces-
sary to send such money as the ants could
not eat.

1t is said that Mr.. Whitney and his as

deal CLEANED up about $l0000,000 on the
transaction. Commenting on this the
New York Commercial says: 1T is said
that stockholders of the American Spirits
Manufacturing Company feel a sense of
outrage. Something like per cent of the

fected its combination Is certainly more
than a proper promoting fee. Dollar for

The New York Press (Rep) says: when
all is said and done there are two things
to which army officers will testify Gen.
Alger, as Secretary of War, did more TO
wipe out sectionaiism by fraterniziug
Northern and Southern volunteer regi-
ments than any other man since the days
Of the civil war He clipped more red tape
than any other man the army department
has known. one of Secretary Ayers first
rulings regarding sick soldiers was that a
captain OF a company should take care
Of his men and get what they needed re-
gardiess of routine and regulations Take
care of your men first,' was his rule take
care of the regulations afterward.'

experience of Mr.. A. p. Malloy, who has
a large number of convicts at work in
Marion county. Florida, on a turpentine
farm, might be studied with benefit by en-
ployes of convict labor generally. Instead
OF brutality, he gives them kindness. Sat
urday last he gave them a picnic, with
music, games and a good dinner. Mr.. Nal
10y says the convicts so treated by him

An interesting bond case has arisen IN
New York. 1t had its origin in the days
of the Mexican revolution which over
threw the empire of Macmillan. Prior
to and during that war many of Inc Mex
Team states raised money for the struggle
by issuing twenty-year bonds. selling them
wherever they could ind a market Three
thousand and seven Of these bonds of a
par value of $1Oo0 each came into the
possession of a Mr.. Hassard through a
business transaction These bonds were re
pudiaied by Mexico and never paid, inter
est or principal. Some years ago Mr.. las
sard brought suit against the government
OF Mexico, and secured Judgment. But
up to within few days ago he could
never find any properly of the defendant
government within Inc Jurisdiction of the
United States upon which he could levy
for satisfaction. Last week, however, he
learned that the Mexican government had
a large number Of bonds of new gold
loan in the hands of j. P. Morgan and
Co, the New York bankers. He there
fore sought and secured an attachment
upon the funds in the hands of the bank
ors. The case is in many respects re-
markabie, and the outcome Of it will be
awaited with curiosity by fnanciers.

Prof. Simpson.
That buildings of extreme hight are
not entirely modern in their conception
has lately been proven by Prof Lanciani
the Roman archaeologist. who has discov-
cred some ancient building laws of that
cry which restricted the hight of build
ings for reasons similar to those urged
to-day. illusions are frequently made to
the great hight of the tenement houses
by Roman writer's but no definite figures
are gwen until the time Of Augustus
when the hight of such structures was
limited to sixty feet on the street front
In the rear, however, the buildings were
often several stories higher, and the law
OF Augustus applied only 10 new struc-
lures. 1t is stated that these Roman
buildings had generally ten or twelve sto-
rles IN the front and fourteen or fifteen
in the rear, the lower stories being about
eight or ten feet in hight, while al greater
distances from the ground the hight was
much less, sometimes not even five feet
II is quite certain that the Roman tene-
ment houses at times were al least 100
feet in hight on the street, and 125 10 1870
feet in the rear, and the changes demanded
in the law were on account of the vari-
Gus dangers caused by such buildings. If
the hight of the stories was no greater
than that of an apartment of a poor fam
lily found in house IN Pompeib. about
four feet three inches. ii seems likely that
a Roman tenement house. in point of num-
Der of stories at least, rivallsd a modern
office building.
