ANOTHER ASIATIC RAILWAY.
1t is Proposed to Run 1t From Ervnt
to Shanghai

According to Consul Guenther, at Frank
1ort' In report to the State Department,
an English engineer has worked out a plan
to connect Alexandria, Egypt, directly with
Shanghai China, by railroad. The proposed
road, which will be about 6,4OO miles long,
Will have three divisions. The middle one
of J, 125 is already in existence. From Alex
andria the road will run east southeast
over the isthmus of Sinai to Alkaba, the
north end of the Bay of Akaba; from there
almost due east to kurveit and Bassorah,
thence through southern Persia to the
frontier through Baluchistan and across
that state, which is under the English pro-
tectorate, to connect with the India rail-
road net Mr.. Guenther says from Shang-
hal to Chungking, the road will run along
the Yangtse-kiang, touching all important
trade centers such as Nankin, Hankau,
ETC. 1t will then run via Shangtung Yum
nan and Talifu to Kunlog, the most east
ern terminus of the India roads The con-
sui general says road is proposed which
Will connect Mandalay and Calcutta, and
that work on this great project will COM
mence in the near future. Karache, at the
mouth of the Indus, will become one of the
principal stations.

MncarOni From American Wheat.

Determined efforts of two years on the
part of United States Consul Hayden at
Castellamare Di Stabia, Italy, have final
ly demonstrated that the very finest quail
ity of macaroni can be made of American
wheat, according to a report received at
the State Department. Heretofore Amer
lean wheat has been deemed too soft for
macaroni making, but experiments have
proven conclusively that it can produce
macaroni of the very best quality, which
can be cooked in one-half the time neces-
sary for that made from other wheat. AS
60 per cent of macaroni is wheat, the con-
sui regards the result of his investiga-
tions important, in opening up a new field
for our wheat expectations. If the United
States would admit macaroni duty free or
else reduce the tariff the consul says that
macaroni made from American wheat
could enter into competition with that of
Russia and the east.

Wars Effect on German Trade.

An interesting report, showing the effect
of the wars in South Africa, the Philip
pines and China on the German export
trade for the past few years, has been re-
ceived at the State Department from
United States Consul Kehl at Stettin.
Germanys exports to the Transvaal fell off
nearly So, 600 In 1900, as compared with
1899 On the other hand her expectations
to the Philippines increased from $642 600
in 1899 to 81, ,499, 400 in 1900. This trade
with China also showed a slight increase
in 1900 over the preceding year. Exports
to Cape Town showed an increase in 1900
as compared with 1899 Of about 100000,
and a decrease Of about the same proper
ton as compared with 1898.

Mr.. Warmers Adventure While Visit
ing a Big Sewer.

Mr.. B. II. Warner made rather a peculiar
and what might have been most disas-
trous visit to a big sewer now in course OF
construction at the corner of Georgia ave-
nue. and Sd street southeast. He recently
purchased a locomobile and has been using
the rapid vehicle to aid him In investigat-
Ing different sections of the District Yes
terday morning he went out to pay his re-
spects to Andrew Gleeson, an old friend of
his. who is constructing yhe big sewer re-
ferred to. He was ACCOMPANIED by his son.
They soon reached the banks of the James
Creek canal. AS the road was very narrow
and said to be impassahesa little farther
on, Mr.. Warner endeavored to effect back
ward motion on the part of the horseless
carriage, and in SO doing caught his sleeve
in the wrong valve, and In an instant the
vehicle flew like an eagler over the big wall
bordering the James Creek canal and
plunged the two occupants into the air,
both making somersaults. Mr.. Warner
came down in channel Just large enough
to hold him, which had recently been dug
through the mud to carry off surface wa
ter. The locomoble turned a complete
somersaut and knocked the dashboard,
side bars and top rigging into a thousand
pieces
The whole incident occupied only a few
seconds, and when Mr.. Warner recovered
from his surprise. he found himself under
the locomoble, which was turned bottom
upward, with the engine still in motion and
the wheels revolving at a rapid rate, while
MS son, who had landed on his feet, was
surveying the situation with solicitude.
large crowd Immediately collected to
see what damage had been done. Mr..
warner, who had pulled himself together
ana was partially concealed in a coating of
mud, asked one of the bystanders If Mr.
Gleeson had been down there to inspect the
work that morning, and said he had come
DOWN to call on him and treated the Incl
dent rather as an ordinary affair. rather
tnan an accident. which in nine cases out
or ten would have resulted quite serious

emploEed by Mr.. Gleeson, put Mr. Warner
IN buggy and sent him up to prominent
clothing house, where he was soon divested
OF ms muddy raiment, and in a short time

CLAIMS DAMAGES.
Mrs. scott Alleges Loss Caused by
Telephone Wires

Telephone Wires
MRS. Ira G.. Scott of 7OS Maryland ave-
nue. northeast, has written to the District
commissioners, complaining of damage al
legged to have been done to her property
by wires of the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company. Mrs Scott declared
that the wires across her property were
not properly suspended and would sway
IN the wind. AT time they are said
to have knocked off the top of the CHM
ney and filled the fiue with bricks She
asks that the Commissioners order the
company to remove the wires
Walter c. Allen the electrical engineer
mas approved and forwarded to the Com
mlssloners report from Inspector Harris
on the matter. He states that he finds the
teiephone company has a pair of twisted
wires running from their pole at the north
east corner of 7th and f streets north
east across premises 10 Maryland ave
nue. to the drug store at the southeast
corner of 7th street and Maryland avenue
Ihls is a very long span, says the
| inspector, land the wires naturally sag
| considerably. They run through the tops
OF several large trees and when the limbs
of the latter are disturbed by the wind
| the wires would naturally sway to and
| fre as described by Mrs Scott More
over, 1t is perfectly possible and highly
| probable that in SO doing they may and
| do come in contact with the chimneys of
reasonable to presume that they were
| responsible for the damage complained of
but in their normal position they extend
| about three feet above the tops of the
| chmneys.
1T is right to state that this is the only
| practical route by which telephone serv-
| ice can be furnished to the drug store
| above mentioned, and If a fixture could be
attached to one of the chimneys of 71o
| Maryland avenue no damage or inconven-
fence would result therefrom, and this Is
| the logical solution Of the case. But as
Mrs. Scott states that she will not con-
| sent to this arrangement and as it is man
ifestly impossible for the telephone com
| pany to better the condition as matters
| stand the wires being as taut now as
practicable), 1 would respectfully recon-
mend that Mrs. Scott be notified Of the
| substance of this report and advised to
! communicate with the proper officials of
! the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
| Company for the abatement of the nuis-
ance
| ut is claimed by the proprietor of the
drug store that the wires have occupied
their present position for the space of
