BIG ORDER FOR ENGINES.


SCHENECTADY, y. V, July o.
The American Locomotive company has
received from the Atchison Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad company an order for
40 tandem compound consolidated freight
engines. These engines are the type for
merly butlt exclusively by the Schenecta-
dy Locomotive works, and this order will
be built at any of the works of the new
company. The first locomotive of this
type was built over year ago for the
Northern Pacific freight service and it
proved so valuable for the mountain
traffic that 26 more were ordered and
now comes the order from the Santa Fc
road for 10.
The chief advantage of the tandem
over the old cross compound locomotive
Is a gain of from 1000 to 5000 pounds
in tractive power. as well as more sym
metrical appearance and greater COM
pactness. In the cross compound engines
the size of the cylinders is limited, and
the whole work is divided between two
cylinders. whereas in the new type it Is
distributed among four cylinders and a
great increase Of power is obtained. An
other Improvement is the Schenectady
type Of wide irehoX, which has been 50
successfully used on engines on the New
York Central and other roads These en-
gines weight 100000 pounds or 5000
pounds more than the cross compound

WHITMARSH EXONERATED.
Civil Governor of Benguet Province Found
Not Guilty of Charges Made.

MANILA, July 23.-H. Phelps Whit
marsh. civil governor Of Benguet prov
ince. Luzon, has been exonerated of the
charges against him by the civil COM
mission. On account of the impossible
ity of their continuing together, the res
ignation OF Mr.. Scherer, secretary to
Governor Whitmarsh, has been accepted.
Whitmarsh was censurcd by the COM
mission for violence against Schercr upon
the occasion OF Il public meeting of the
Igorrote tribesmen. when Scherer de-
clincd to act as secretary ON account Of
alleged interference in the meeting by
the American authorities.
The commission accepted Governor
Whitmarsh's denials to the charges
lodged against the latter that he had
appropriated native livestock, worked
convicts and other natives upon his farm
and had utilized his official position to
further his private interests.
The commission further decided that
the burning of few native huts
during Governor Whitmarsh's expedition
against the head hunting Igorrotes had
s;cen warranted by the exigencies of the
situation.

NEW YORK. July 20.-Bradstrect's
review Of trade says.

volume of business goes forward and
nearly all markets have taken the de-

the way, have not been unfavOrablel,

in the worst afflicted sections Of the corn

Iron and steel as a whole are unset
tied by the strike, which is, however.
confined to one locality. the central west,
and again directly affects only the tin
plate, the sheet and the hoop mills within
that territory. The outlook is, with a
continuance Of the strike, for some weak
ness in the cruder forms Of iron which
will, of course, tend to accumulate and,
on the other hand, induce some advance
in the finished products affected directly
by the strike.
For the third year in succession export
trade has shown a progressive gain, and
the total for the past fiscal year is the
greatest ever known, being SO per cent
larger than in the preceding year and "a
per cent heavier than the low water
mark of the past decade set in 1S94-95.

PLANS FOR NEW CRUISERS


WASHINGTON, July 19.-The plans
now under consideration for the two new
armored cruisers authorized by congress
contemplate such new departure in
steaming capacity that these ships will
be able to make voyages far exceeding
any 10y the ships now in commission and
equalling, if not exceeding, the long dis
tance trip Of any naval warships alloat.
They provide for a combination Of
three screws, so separated that anyone
can work independently. BY using all
three screws, the ship could develop great
speed from - to % knots, so that she
would be listed as a 23-knot ship. BY
al ernating the screws, using but one at
time, the big craft could make a voy-
age Of at least 10000 miles without a
stop to recoal and at the same time she
would always have her three screws in
readiness to develop a - or 23-knot speed
in case of necessity.
