THE ESCAPE or ELECTRICITY.
An Interesting Test Of Leaks From TroIieys and
Other Sources to Water Mains

The Engineering Record Of Yesterday pub
fishes digest Of a report on the electrical con-
ductor of the water mains Of Providence. r. /,
made by A. A. Knudson, an electrical engineer
Of 20 Nassau street The report IL extremely
technical and Is based upon a large number Of
tests and examinations made Of the water
mains in all parts Of Providence where the
mains are in streets occupied by electric rail-
ways. Mr. Knudson found that all Of the mains
wers carry ing more or less electricity varying
in voltage in way diflcult to explain. He also
found evidences in great many Of his sX am
nations OF damage to the mains by electroy sis
which was slowly shortening the lives OF the
mains The injury Is not wrought upon the
current entering the main but on its leaving
for earth or water. There come then at the
joints what the experts calls electrolysis ft-
tngs. which cause softening Of the edges TO
such an extent that the metal could be cut with
a knife Leakage Is bound to follow such de-
struction.
Mr.. Knudson finds that the principal cause
Of the escape of the electricity from the troll
ley rails Is IN the defective bonding Of the
rail joints. This permits the return current
to shoot into the ground and. seeking another
conductor get into the water pipes
While Mr.. hnudson thinks IL Is not within
his province 10 specify methods to be used by
the railway company better to control their
currents, he recommends that attention bs
called TO the necessity of early action TO cor
rect the excessive escape OF current. Not
only should the bonds be renewed but the frogs
and switches at all other turnouts should Be
tested. and those found defective promptly re-
newed II Is the practice on some electric roads
periodically TO examine by methods Of testing
the entire bonding system OF their lines and
promptly repair those found defective
The various places In the city can be tested
md watched from time 10 time by Use of tho
voltmeer in the water department. and n the
railway company Is disposed to correct places
found TO be menacing the immediately danger
ous dow can be modified But Il should be un-
derstood that there can be no assurance OF
complete immunity from electrolytio damage TO
water mains caused by the strayin railway cur
rents so long rs the single trolley system IL
used in which the rails form one side OF the cir
cliit and are In contact with the sarth. Cur
rent which once enters the wator mains must
leave them at various points and more or less
inside or outside near the joints over the on tire
system: and wherever even the smallest fraC-
ttOn OF current passes out Of the water mains
through earth or water, some injury 10 tho
water ma ms must result. The destructive action
may be slow and long go on unnotced. but in
evably and seriously IL shortens the life o. tho
pipe.
II this condition exists In Providence Il
doubtless eyists In New York and the citys en-
gneers will probably take cognizance Of Mr..
| knudson's findings, -.

AN EXCELLENT PAIR.

The people of all portions Of
Pennsylvania will rejoice because
the Democrats of Columbia County
have renominated Farmer" Greasy
for Representative i'll the Legisla-
ture, for the nomination is equival-
ent to an election. There is just as
much reason to rejoice because
Fred. I. Ikeler, Esq, has been Sc
lected as his running mate. Mr..
Creasy's ability and integrity are
known in all parts Of the common
wealth, his three sessions service
in the legislature having made Kim
conspicuous figure in the public
eye. Mr.. Ikeler is without expert
ence, but his ability as lawyer
and an orator will command instant
recognition.
One of the most hopeful signs of
the times is the high character OF
the men who are being nominated
for the legislature throughout the
state. Of course, it must be ex-
pected that Philadelphia and Pitts
burg will send ''roosters" as usual,
for in those cities the people have
no more voice i'll the selection of the
candidates than has the man in the
moon. But throughout the state
wherever the Quay machine is not
the dominant influence, men of the
best type are being chosen and the
indications are that the coming leg
islature will be distinguished be-
cause of its improved personnel as
compared with some of its prede-
cessors.
The Hon. VIM. 7. Greasy and
Fred. T. Ikeler, Esq, will adorn
a legislature thus improved in the
character of its membership. They
are not only capable and fit the JEFF
fersonian qualifications, but they
are energetic in their opposition to
venal and vicious legislation and
will be vigilant sentinels in the for
tress Of reform. That their election
is certain is a reason for congratu-
lating the people of Pennsylvania,
for if there was a chance of defeating
them the full force of the venal
machine would be thrown into the
work. But they will be elected and
the people will be benefited by their
labors. Harrisburg .Star-/natbena-

Intentions of Russia,

WASHINGTON, June 20.-A message
received yesterday morning from Ad,
miral Remey at the navy department
touching the readiness of the Princeton,
Marietta and Zaiiro for immediate serv-
ice presented all the news that has come
to the government from the east since
Monday. One of the most important
developments, hOwever-namely, that the
notice of the Russian government of its
intention to dispatch 1000 troops to Chi
na-was accompanied by an undertaking
that these troops were to be used fOr
the assistance of Europeans and Ameri.
cans and with no purpose of territorial
aggression on the part of Russia. This
assurance was received with the great
est satisfaction. 1t is understood that
Japan, in view of Russia frank declara.
ton, will consent to assume the same OBJ
legation toward the other nations, in
which case the greatest obstacle to eff,
fectiye action, whether concurrent OF
joint by the powers in China, may be
considered as removed.

RELIEF FOR PEK|NC
international Expedition Re-
ported at Chinese Capital.
Safety of Foreign Legations
Said to Be Assured.
No Details of the Situation Yet
at Hand-More Hopeful
Feeling Prevails.

LONDON, June 20.-Thc news from
Shanghai today is regarded in official
circles as distinctly cheering. After the
grim reports current early this morning
a dispatch announcing the arrival of the
relief expedition commanded by Admiral
Seymour at Peking and the safety of the
legations, which later was confirmed by
a dispatch from Shanghai. published in
the second edition of the London Times,
announcing on the authority of faotai
Sheng that Admiral Seymour's force ar
rived at the Chinese capital on June H.
presages. il is hoped, a general brighten
ing of the situation.
No details have yet been received of
the casualties or of the condition of af
fairs at Peking. but well informed per-
sons express the opinion that the sum
moning Of Ii Hung Chang to the capital
foreshadows the early submission of the
dowager empress to the dictates of the
powers.
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Daily Express says he is officially in
formed that Japan is mobilizing $1,000
men for immediate transport.
The British cruiser Undaunted arriv-
ed at Shanghai yesterday, cleared for
action and took up a position command
ing the Chinese forts. There are three
Chinese cruisers in the harbor.
The new Chinese cruiser Hai-yang,
built by the Armstrong;, has been taken
into custody at Taku by the British and
Russians.
At Yum Nan-Fu, where the rising has
been gathering force for several days,
$50 Christians have been attacked at the
French mission settlement, many being
put to death. The French consul and
three missionaries are still in prison.
The disorderly elements have secured
the upper hand at Wuhu and Czechuan,
where the native Christians have been
massacred.
A thousand Boxers have gathered on
the outskirts of Tien-tsin.
The Shanghai correspondent of The
Daily News, telegraphing yesterday, says:
The Chinese officials here assert that
they have news from Peking up to June
II. The situation was then very serious.
Beyond that they claim to have received
nothing, but they deny that dispatches
have been withheld.
Although | am not willing to adopt
the alarmist reports, my impression, gath
| cred from the consuls and the Chinese
authorities, is that the worst is to be
feared in Pcking
admiral Seymour's column is now in
the middle of the arid plain, with no food
and no good water and surrounded by
hostile forces"
A dispatch from Shanghai announces
that the United States transport Thorn
rs, with troops for Manila, was diverted
ut Nagasaki and has arrived at Taku
with 1,2OO men.

the following resolutions were unan-
imously adopted;
WHEREAS, the reports of the U. S.
Revenue Department shows that there
were nearly IL 2,ooo,o pounds of oleo
sold in our state and in the state of
New York with a greater population
there we're only $4,000 pounds sold,
and,
WHEREAS, the proved completely OF
state officials with violators ofthe laws
passed to prevent injury and fraud,
financial and physical to the people,
merits the severest censure, and,
WHEREAS, it seems to us that these
violations of the oeo law could not

knowledge of the Secretary of Agri-
culture, and further colored oleo is
still being sold. Therefore be it
ReS0lOed, that we demand the
resignation OF the Secretary of Agri.
