AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES AS PAT
Terms IN GERMANY. Consul Gen
eraI Mason, Of Berlin, under date
Of February IS, 1900. sends the
following translation from the
4TraRktschs Curtsy, Nuremberg,
February 9, 1900:
The Bavarian State RailWa ay
Administration has addressed a
letter to the locomotive manufac-
turers Maffei & Kraus, at Munich
from whom it has received here.
totore its entire supply Of locomo.
tives and who have been naturally
surprised by the order given Tor
locomotives from America-stat-
ing that these machines are inn
ported from Philadelphia solely for
the purpose Of enabling the many
details Of construction wherein
they differ from German locomo.
tives to be studied, and, so far as
may seem advantageous, adopted
in the future construction OF en-
gines tor the Bavarian State rail-
ways; for the newly imported
machines show, as the general
direction further explains, IN many
respects important variations from
the construction which is usual in
Germany, especially in respect to
the boiler, cylinders and frame
construction, dimensions OF the
axles, valves and valve gearing,
the couplers and buffers, while, on
the other hand, other parts are not
as carefully worked out as is Gus
tomary in German locomotives.
The general direction will there
fore give the Bavarian locomotive
builders full opportunity to famil-
iarize themselves with the con-
struction of the American mach
ines, and inYites the makers to
have them carefully studied bV
their engineers.

transported TO tide water, should
export less than 3 per cent OF its
annual pl ploduct, and most OF tn S
to a neighbor across its longest
land frontier.
The subject Of coal exports is,
OF course, intricatelv involved with
that Of a merchant marine. Great
Britain has the colliers, both sail
and steam, and they have hitherto
carried her coal trade around the
world. American coal operators,
with all their advantages IN respect
OF supply, cheapness OF production
and local transport. have mean

the needs Of our own country.
Some time in the process OF devei-
opment this anomalous situation
must end in the case OF coal, as 1t
has already ended in respect to
iron and steel, machinery, cotton
goods, shoes, and other kinds OF
manufactured merchandise; and
the present coal famine in Germany
and other European countries
should give a potent impetus to a
new movement which will in time
place the United States among the
foremost coal exporting nations OF
the world.

PROVISION FOR OLD AGE IN
FRANCE The custom OF making
provision, by Government inter-
ventIon, for the support OF the
aged and infrm IS a naturalout
growth OF French institutions. AS
boy cannot be drafted into the
army # he is the only support Of
aged parents, the maintenance Of
the defense OF the nation exacts
that the number OF the ueedv
should be made as small as posi-
BILE. AS the Government takes
possession OF the boy for three
years for army service at a time
when he might be learning a trade
and LAYING the foundation for a
future livelihood, it deems it duty
to intervene in his behalf and aid
him in providing for the day OF
need.
The Government withholds a
certain percentage from the salary
OF army officers against the day
when they will be on the retired
list. Subordinate officers-lieu
tenants and c1ptains--are not al
lowed to get married until they
show to the satisfa ction OF the War
Department that the wife will
bring 1900 francs (S23I.6o) per
year to the household. This rule
is suspended only to legitimatIze
children. The salary of a marshal
OF France is 80 1878 francs
(S5,S5o 8o) per year, but he only
receives a8.8oo francs (Ss,ss8,4o),
the rest going into an old age pen
sion fund. On the Io,8o4 francs
(S3,S39.s4) which constitute the
salary Of general Of division, o94
francs (SG9I.S4) is withheld. But
if a general is located in a city like
Paris or Lyons and is the military
governor thereof an important
sum is added for his household ex-
penses. The process OF laying up
a store for old age runs through
the army until the private soldier
is reached. He receives 8 cents
per day for his services, s cents Of
which are withheld tor board and
lodging. leaving him I cent per
day for spending money and his
bank account, which he often in
vests in postage stamps.

PACKING HAMS For THE SINGA.
PORE MARKET. Consul General
Moseley writes from Singapore,
under date of January 8, 1900:
A letter which | have received
from w. A. Wafforn & Co., of this
city, who recently imported from
the United States ham, bacon, and
lard, contains the statement thai
small hams on arrival he re turned
out bad, owing to the very inefl
cient method OF packing" AS
soon as l learned this, l requested
a large local dealer in English anc
Scotch hams to tell me how these
hams are packed, and in reply he
says:
Hams are generally sent here
packed in bran or oats, then seweo
in canvas, and afterwards packed
in salt, this process preserving the
flavor far better than any other
method, besides keeping the ham
moist. The usual weights for
Singapore are from eight to twelve
pounds"

1t is conceded on all sides that the
New York Herald has better facilities
for obtaining accurate information on
general subjects than any other news
paper in the United States, If not in
the world; hence, when IL makes a
poll Of the nation and declares the re-
suit, that declaration is worthy Of SER
ious consideration. especially when its
representatives in all the states were
given explicit instructions to make
impartial investigations and reports
absolutely free from partisan bias.
Based on those reports the Herald pre-
diets that Mckinley viii obtain PSI
electoral votes and Bryan 166. II
shows that Mckinley will hold every
state he carried in 1896, with the ex-
ceptiou Of Kentucky. and make net
gain Of eleven electoral votes. Not
