RAILROAD CARS FOR NOME.
CONSIGNMENT OF c. ID. LANES LINE
ARRIVES At SEATTLE.
Several Locomotives Are Also Here
All Are Dimiuutive, but Have
Great Power-shipment Attracts
Much Attention in Railroad Yards

Standing on the sidetracks Of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads, near the coal-bunkers, at Sec
ond avenue south, are several freight
cars, the contents OF which have at
tracted much attention for the past two
days They are loaded with diminutive
fiatcars, boxcars, railway trucks and
locomotives. all in ''knock-down'' condi-
ton. The consignment consists of the
rolling stock for Cape Nome railroad
to be built by C. u. Lane and other
well-known wealthy Alaska mining men.
On the outside of the cars are fam
ing banners bearing the inscription,
These cars are for shipment to Cape
Nome and giving the name of the
manufacturer.
They are small and curious-iooking
things, from a railroad mans stand
point. They are about two-thirds as
long and wide as an ordinary railroad
fiatcar. The wheels are about equal in
size to the trucks of yard engine,
while the springs might well be used
TO prevent the numbering OF a farm
wagon on a country road They are
built however much after the fashion
OF the ordinary car. and most substan-
tally bound with heavy iron.
The. locomotives are also I'm knock
down" shape These are in sealed cars
opening. They are, however, built after
the. fashion OF the regular steam loco
motive, ana are somewhat larger tnnn
fair-sized Puget Sound sawmil boiler.
They are so constructed as to give the
mos power. and are capable, It Is said.
of pulling load much larger in COM
parison to their size than the regular
locomotive used in railroad service.
Within. few days consignment Of
steel rails will arrive here, and all will
be shipped North TO Cape Nome from
Seattle
Mr.. Lanes railroad Is to be built this
summer from Port Clarence to Nome.
The former place has splendid har-
Dor. and 1t is expected will be most
extensively used by vessels bringing
heavy cargoes of freight for all that
section of country. The new road will
derive its revenud from hauling this
freight inland and to Nome

UTILIZATION OF FURNACE GAS
Waste Product in Prussia to BE Used
in Running Big EIec-

Vice Consul General Hanauer, of
Frankfort, writes, November 3, 1900,
as follows: On October so, rs repre-
sentatives of the largest iron works
in France and Belgium visited the
Horde Mining and Rolling Mills as
ISOLATION, at Horde, near Dortmund.

trail station for utilizing the gas COM
ing from the mouths of furnaces.
This new method is considered one
of the wonders Of modern technics.
The plant, when fully completed, will
have force of 6,400 horsepower. At
present, three twin motors of the
Oechelhauser system are run by this
furnace gas to produce an electric
current for supplying power and light
for the Hermann rolling mills. A
fourth motor Of 600 horse power and
four others of 1000 horsepower each
are now in process of construction to
serve like purposes.

READY TO INSURE ROYALTY,
No DiScrimina ton in American Cons
panies Is Made Against
pOtentates

In a cable dispatch printed here
recently it was stated that some in
surance companies in Europe were
refusing to accept risks on the lives
of reigning potentates of the old
world, owing particularly to the men,
ace of anarchist violence, which had
been brought pointedly before the
view OF Insurance company officers
by the tragic death of King Humbe1t
of Italy. According to the cable adj
vices, one company which found itself
compelled to pay 100000, the value of
policy on Humbert's life, recently
refused to accept risk on the life of
Alexander of Servia, who sought a
policy for 100000 francs. The cable
dispatch intimated that insurance
companies doing business abroad had
no more use for royal patrons who
might desire to insure their own lives,
says an eastern exchange.
Inquiry among officers of some of
the insurance companies of the Unit
ed States which do large foreign
business developed the fact that there
is no discrimination against royal
applicants for insurance in the Amer
lean companies. Each application for
policy of insurance in American
companies is received and acted upon
on it's own merits, without regard
for the accidental fact that the APP
pllcant is royal parsonage.
There is no discrimination against
kings" a high officer of one of the
largest companies said. eve do not
boycott those seated upon a throne"
He said that the danger from an
archists might be considered in con-
nection with an application for insur-
ance, but that it would be considered
exactly in the light of certain quail
fcations of various applicants in
classes familiar in this country; that
it would be considered among the
moral hazards, but that merely in
itself it would not operate to bring
about the rejection of the applicant.
The occupations of various applicants
for insurance carry with them vary
ing moral risks, which are taken into
consideration by the insurance COM
panies. The moral risks of certain
kingships would probably be reflect
ed in the premiums exacted in the
case of accepted kingly applicants,
but the accident of royal birth or
regal place would not, American in
surance men say, deprive a potentate
OF the privileges of insurance which
he would enjoy if a private citizen of
any of several walks of life.
