The discussion Of practical means or
abating the smoke nuisance which took
place ut a recent meeting Of the West.
crn Hallway club in Chicago seems to
indicate that the railroads are willing
to do their share toward solving the
problem which is Il perplrXing one in
most manufacturing and railroad
towns. In railroad towns particularly
is the smoke nuisance most mcnacinS
to public health and comfort 1t is flu
tile to expect relief in places where
hundreds Of the locomotives continue
to bech forth their volumes of carbon.
1t is therefore gratifying to learn that
the railroads themselves are taking
steps looking toward the abatement Of
the evil. Experiments have been and
are still being made to this end, but
thus far they have not proved wholly
satisfactory. 1t is the opinion Of some
experts that a comparatively smoke
less fuel for locomotives can be secured
by using 60 per cent coke and 40 per
cent soft coal. 1t Is also claimed that
the process Of cokIng bituminO,ls coal
can now be carried on 80 cheaply and
It can be produced In such abundant
quantities as to make 1t entirely prac-
teal for railroad purposes.

Total British Casualties Up to
Saturday About Eight
Thousand Men.

LONDON, Jan. 1O.-The war Office has
not contributed the least particular as
to what is taking place in Natal since
Sunday. Neither has it allowed the
dispatches of correspondents to get
through. Consequently the facts of the
situation are replaced by conjecture
anu the impotence of the public pours
itself into discussion of the conduct Of
the war-of what might have been
done or ought not to be done.
The Morning Post demands that the
forces afeld, afloat and in preparation
shall be increased by $4,000 men. To
this end it urges that all the trained
men The country possesses, militia and
volunteers, shall be called out, assert
Ing incidentally that, although the atti-
tude of other powers is
Correct in the Diplomatic Sense
of the word, an invasion if attempted
would be sudden and that now is the
time to aplrehend contingencies.
T Daily News editorially defines
the public opinion Of the Continent as
''1A Il state which SnOulO not De lg.
nored." 1t calls for ''greater vigilance
than ever on the part of those RESPONSE
BILE for the efficiency of the navy" and
urges cautious, circumspect and bust
hesslike diplomacy"
The critics range up and down tho
entire field of war transactions, finding
fault especially with the lack of trans
ports for the troops who are ready to
depart and with the concealment Of
news, averring the censorship in South
Africa mbraces the mails; that the re.
ports of correspondents are being mu-
tilated and entire letters suppressed.

to look after congressional elections.
Mr.. Newlands spoke at considerable
length regarding the unifcation of the

gested an advisory committee of one
member from each of the states, the
choice to be made from Democrats,
Populists, Silver Republicans, Silver
Independents, and, In fact, all the
elements
Opposing the Republican Party.
The purpose Of this committee, it was
explained, would be to form ulate a

the subject and action will be taken at
some future time.

tee" which would have the power to
formulate the Democratic policy on
important questions Of Legislation, this
to be binding on members of The party.

considerable favor. but some of the in.
fuential members urged him not to
press the matter for the present and he
consented to withdraw the resolution
until later.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-The feature
of the days session of the senate was
the speech of MIR. Beveridye, the junior
SEM tor from Indiana, embodying his
observations in the Philippines and
favoring the permanent retention of
the islands by the United States. 1t
was the maiden speech of about the
youngest member Of the body and at.
tracted an unusually large number of
auditors to the galleries. On the floor
of The senate every member in the city
was in his seat and scores of representa-.

Spoken with all the earnestness, vigor
and eloquence of a fine orator, enthusi.

created profound impression upon all
who heard it.
His Conol uston and Hosr'a Response.
When he declared, with deep solem.

blood of those dead and wounded boys
of ours is on their heads and tho food
of years can never wash that stain
away" there was a deep though sup.
pressed sensation among his audience.
Mr.. Hoar (Rep., Mass.) replied briefly
to Mr., Beveridge. Although he did not
enter fully into the merits Of the ques.
ton under discussion he did not feel
that some of the Indiana senator's state.

He 1idiculed Mr.. Beveridge's state.
