IRAN ROBBt RS KiLLtD.
0ne Shot and the Ot!Gr Burned to Death
The Ayengcr Was Qlick.

Goodland, Kan. AuE. l0.-Thc two
Union Pacific train robbers, located
here this morDing, are dead. One
was shot to pieces md the other was
burned to death In the house on the
Bartholomew ranch After the fight
in the morning, when one was shot,
the citizens armed themselves and
went to the ranch. The man inside
the house was armed with Win
chester aud too near approach to
the house drew lis fire. About 1
O'Clock some men, by crawling
through a corn field, got to a shed
near the house and from this place
threw two railroad fuses into the
roof Of the house, setting it on fire.
1t was not many minutes until the
entire building was in flames, but the
rObber made no sign, and II he was
not hit by bullet from the many
that were fired at the house from the
outside, he found his death in the
flames.
There is no doubt about the men
being the train robbers. On the body
of the one shot In the morning was
found IA watch, two black calico face
masks, n lady's watch chain and
charm and an opened envelope. ad-
dressed to some ilegible name at
Hugo, Colo. He was tall, with a
black mustache, and was commonly
dressed.
The second robber was brought to
the town tonight. The man in the
house had large roll Of bills, but
this, with the robbers two valises,
was burned.
Both were about 30 years of age
and Of the desperado style, having
threatened to shoot several farmers
who refused to keep them. The
house on the ranch with contents
was valued ut $4,000 and will be
paid for by the county. The two
citizens, Riggs and Collins. shot in
the fight in the morning, will recover.

The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-05-05

A few people in Astoria, who like the
character in Diekins' novel, are always
looking for something to turn up in
favor Of the development of Astorla's
"matchless natural advantages" have
attached great significance to the meet.
ms Of trans Pacific steamship men
now in session at san Francisco. 1t
has heen thought by these confident
and energetic Astorlans that the CON
clave in san Francisco was but for
mai preliminary looking to the inn
mediate concentration OF all Pacinc
steamship lines on Astoria. as the best
port on the Pacific coast from which
to capture" the Oriental markets. 1t
turns out, however, that the real pur-
pose Of the trans Pacific representa-
tives' meeting is very different from
that pictured by these waiting Astoria
citizens. as the following extract from
the West Coast Trade plainly shows;
A meeting Of the trans Pacific steam
ship representatives with transconti-
mental freight managers is being held
in san Francisco this week. Ii is the
intention to form a traffic association
embracing the seven lines Of steam
ships plying between this coast and
Oriental ports. together with the six
trans-continental railways forming
overland connections. for the purpose
Of an adjustment Of rates. Under such
an arrangement it will probably be
found that the traffic will bear higher
tariffs. and a lessening of the keen
ness Of competition. That, at least.
is the present belief Of the companies,
and the principal object Of the call
for a conference. AS a starter, ad-
vices state that tea rates must come
up, the proposed rate being Sl25 per
hundred-weight to New York, Chicago
and common points, as against Csc now
charged. Silk tariffs will also be re-
vised. as viii outgoing freight rates.
In the latter it is said that some re-
ductions viii be made, particularly in
heavy construction material. Thus
far no suggestion has been made Of
pushing up flour tariffs, which has
heretofore been favorite commodity
upon which TO make increases, and it
is hoped this branch of the s-afic will
not be disturbed. Cotton viii probably |

schedules.
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1900-05-05

In Engineering" the question of the
ship of the future is discussed with
particular reference to the relation be-
tween size and the cost Of carrying
cargo. Comparative costs for carry
ing ton of cargo 5000 nautical miles
have been worked out. by which 1t ap-
pears that for deadweight eargoes, un-
less draft Of water be increased along
with other dimensions. the cost actual
ly grows with the size of the ship.
But If draft be increased proportion
ately to the greater dimensions. the
cargo can be carried at a steadily de-
ereasing cost as size increases. A
70O-foot ship win carry twelve tons at
the same cost as a 50O-foot ship will
carry ten tons. If the draft of water
be increased proportionately. If. how
ever draft remains constant. the 700
foot ship will carry only "a tons at the
same cost that the 5OO-foot ship will
carry ten tons. The above figures
measure efficiency on the assumption
that the earning power depends on
the weight carried. But assuming
that the total cubic capacity Of the
ship is a measure of earning power.
then the respective total working ex-
penses must be related to the capacity
Of the ships. From figures given, un-
der these circumstances. it is seen that
the cost of carrying 100000 cubic feet
Of cargo decreases with increase Of
size provided that the density Of the
cargo is not SUFFICIENT to load the ship
below practical limits. The depth of
harbor will. therefore, influence the
density of cargo, a harbor having 27
feet c inches depth Of water viii not
allow a ship of 700 feet long to be
fully loaded It is seen, therefore.
that increase in size of the ship Of the
type assumed is profitable in a trade
where deadweight cargoes Of 70 feet
per ton are carried, draft being in
creased proportionately with other d.
mensions. Increase of size is unprofi-
table in such trades, unless accom-
panied by increase of draft Of water.
Lastly, increase of size, without in
crease Of draft, is profitable in trades
