A NEAT FAMINE.
Condition in South Africa Which
American Importers Will Take
Advantage OF

New York, Feb. 5.-Important infor-

state department at Washington from
Consul General Stowe at Cape Town.
under date of December z. The reports
upon the meat situation are of especial
interest at present, owing to a possible
shortage in the meat supply there as
a result of the South African war. Says
Consul General Stowe:
'sThe recent action of the prime min
listers of Cape Colony and Natal in sus-
pending the duty on frozen and slaugh-
ter meat, the same-being four cents per
pound, has thus far conferred no ben
eft on consumers, particularly those at
a distance from the SeaportS and can
not unless the duties on canned meat
are suspended as well. Canned meat is,
perhaps, the most important article OF
export from the United States to this
country. The suspension of the duty on
frozen meat should help the exporters
of the United States, but l regret to
say the lack of ships with cold storage
space prevents us from capturing any
of this great trade over four million
pounds of frozen meat were sent to
this country in 1898, not a pound of
which came from the United States
The expectation of slaughter stock
should be given prompt attention. Tbs

Should now be on the water a large
supply of slaughter stock. Australian
stock is arriving as well as shipments
from the Argentine Republic. Not one
head of slaughter stock, or stock on the
hoof, out of the several thousand re-
ceiVed in 1898 came from the United
States Frozen meat from Australia is
sold cheaper than the meat of the col
ony, which is rapidly disappearing
even with the old duty of four cents
per pound in force. The suspension of
the duty ought to put the price down
to a point that will enable the poorest
to supply themselves. The trade, how
ever, prefers the slaughter stock at this
time.

suspension of the duty provided

suspension of duty has a limitation. but

The trade in chilled meat is in the
hands of a monopoly. 1 wish to call
the attention of our cattle and sheep

plenty. of ships can be chartered to
bring the slaughter stock here. Horses

Kingman. Feb. 5.-Work is progress
sing rapidly at the Kingman rock salt
mines. Additional men are being set
to work each day, so that now it is a
question of but a very few minutes to
fill car with the best rock salt on
earth at these works.
The greatst drawback the hands
have to contend with is the procuring
of homes handy to the works. but this
will be overcome a little later on as
men Of means are planning to erect
suitable houses for rent out in that
section.
In a short time there viii be an cleo
triclight plant in operation for the pur-
pose of lighting up the entire system,
both throughout the extensive building,
inside the shaft and down in the mines,
a thousand feet under the ground.
A set of electric signals will be ar
ranged to connect all the works, above
and below, so that every department
will be in instantaneous communica-
ton thus bringing the danger of acci-
dents to the lowest point, and placing
each and every man in call in case of
possible accident or danger.
This plant Will at an early day be
the most extensively worked of any like
institution in the world.

HOW TO BUILD FIRES.
Rock Island Seems to Have Solved
the Question.

An ingenious arrangement used by the
Rock Island railroad, is the system
of starting fires in their locomotives.
The arrangement is simple one,
and cheap and effective, and in its SIM
plicity is found it's great saving in the
matter of expense, time and labor.
The old way of firing up locomotive
the country, is a tedious and expensive
matter, compared with that which is in
use on the Rock Island. Under the old
way, from one-sixteenth to one-eighth of
a cord of wood was required to start the
fire, under the new way it takes about a
pint and one-half of crude petroleum. In
the use of wood to start the fire in d To-
comotive, the wood is placed on the
CRATES, some old pieces of waste soaked
was thrown in. This was lighted and if
it had been properly laid, the fire would
burn.
BY the use of crude petroleum. the saw
ing in the building of locomotive fire is
quite an item. It is a simple process,
and only takes very short space of time.
BY the side Of each stall in the Rock IS
land round house, there is pipe pro-
jecting, and which connects with the
main oil feed pipe running from a large
oil tank on the outside of the building
house. This tank is large and holds suf-
ficient oil to build the fires for several
weeks, it only takes a small quantity
of oil to start the fire. Connecting with
each stall pipe is a long hose with a
spraying nozzle
A quantity of coal is thrown in on the
CRATES, and a small piece of waste is
placed on the top of the coal. Then the
spraying nozzle is placed in the fire door,
The Topeka state journal., 1900-02-05

and the oil is sprayed over the coal by
means of compressed air. Only one pint
and a half of oil is used and the fire is
ready to be lighted. So intense is the
blaze from the burning oil, that the fire
never fails to properly ignite the coal.
If it is necessary to start the fire in
hurry, a blower attachment is connected
with the locomotive, and the locomotive
is soon ready for service.
Some idea of the saving in the cost OF
starting locomotive fires. in the use of
coal and wood can be had from the fol-
lowing. It takes about one pint and
half of crude oil to start a fire, as against
between one-slXteenth and one-elgnth of
railroad less than 2 cents a gallon, while
the wood can be bought for about $3.50
with, it costs less than one-half of
cent for each fire, while by the use of
cents for each fire. BY considering the
great number of fires which it is neces-
sary to build in the locomotives every
year, the great saving in time, labor and
especially expense becomes apparent.

sEMPLE CALLED DOWN.
State Auditor Cole Says He Is Mis-
taken About Oil Inspection
Revenue

The state administration resents the
charge of the Populist statisticians
that there is a discrepancy in the oil
inspectors reports, the official having
failed to account for $537. As. This
charge appeared in the figures pub
1ished by the State Journal Friday.
Replying to the charge State Auditor
George E. Cole said today:
''The statement concerning the re-
ceipts of the oil inspection department
for the period commencing April and
ending December 81, 1899 The net re-
ceiDts from the inspection of oil for
that period were S. 534.72. and for the
same period in 1898 were $6,0457 ia net
gain for 1899 of $4S8.89.
1.-The net receipts for gasoline fnspec-
tion for the latter period were 81, 1851.
Mr.. Semple's figures are evidently ta-
ken from a report of the oil inspector
for the period ending November 80.
THAT report shows that the gross re-
ceipts for inspection of oils and gasoline
for the period commencing April 1 and
ending November 80 were $16.S49 %.
The expenses of inspection, which
consisted of fees retained by local in
spectors and salaries and expenses of
inspector and deputy inspectors. were
81, ,666 95. The net receipts $14, 1872. 81,
have been deposited with the state
treasurer for the credit of the general
revenue fund.
'9The inspector has accounted for
every cent shown on his report, and
there is not a shortage of $53746, as
claimed by the POpuiiStS."

MONSTER PUT TO WORK.
Tandem Compound ThoroughlyTested
and Assigned to Passenger Run.

Santa Fe locomotive No. 697, the tan
dem compound passenger locomotive
which has recently been built and turn
ed out of the Topeka shops, was sent
out on a passenger run this morning for
the first time, since it has been out of
the shops, where it has been undergoing
a few repairs and minor changes. For
the past week the tandem compound
has been on the freight service being
broken in and getting ready for the
passenger service.
Some very fast time is expected from
this tandem compound as it is built for
speed, yet at the same time is a very
strong and powerful locomotive and is
expected to amply take care of itself
when it comes to pulling a heavy pas
senger train of a dozen or more coaches.
On account of the enormous pressure
which is exerted by the steam, there
was a slight leak at the front where
the cylinders Join the saddle, but this
has been remedied and the locomotive
is ready to make some record breaking
time. As soon sts warm weather comes
the tandem compound will have a box
built on the right side front, and indi-
Gators connected with the cylinders, III
order to allow the pressure and distri-
button of steam in the cylinders to be
tested, and other scientific facts de-
termined which will be of value in case
an Improvement could be made in a
similar locomotive which is at present
being constructed.
TINS tandem compound is expected
to do some wonderful work. when it gets
into good shape for the passenger ser
vice, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that she will not dIsappoint those
who have so much faith in her. One
other locomotive of this same kind is
being built at the shops and if they are
a success there is no doubt but that
others will be built, and placed on the

"sEA COW" TOO HOT.
No Trouble to Heat the Marine
Locomotive.

The Sea Cow, as she is known to the
men at the shops, or in other words, the
locomotive which is equipped with the
marine tubular boiler, is undoubtedly go
ing to be a great success. This loeomO-
tive was built in the hopes of securing
better steaming qualities with q minimum
amount of fuel, and of becoming a pow
erful locomotive. She is proving to be all
o. K. in these qualities and she got so
hot on Saturday that she burned off all
the wooden tagging which has just been
put in place.
At the. present time she is in the shops
waiting for the jacket to be taken off. and
a new asbestos tagging to be put
which will, be done as soon as possible,
after which the jacket will again be put
in place and with a few, finishing
touches. from the painter, will again be
ready for service. This. work ought to
week, and the locomotive will then be
in good shape.
This locomotive has already proven it.
self to be a wonderful machine and will
soon be equipped with a pilot and will
be taken out of the switch service and
placed in the freight service on the road.
# a success there, it is barely possible
that 1t will be permanent, although the
intention up to this time, has been to
send her to Kansas City, where she was
to be used a transfer engine, as the
work is heavy and requires powerful
locomotive.
