In the world to replace the celebrated
800 and Its kind and to re1egate them
to the list of second-ciass machines.
This new locomotive Is expected not only
to make greater speed than its predeees-
sor, but to haul heavier loads, easily taxi
ing care of at least two more filled cars
than 900 could conveniently haul Part
of the new engines advantage lies In an
ingenious arrangement whereby when
grades are reached the weight of the loco
motives upper works may be shifted more
directly upon the driving wheels, where it
exercises favorable influence in the trac-
ton power. The heating surface of the
newcomer is 1866 square feet, as against
1900 square feet In the 800 type, and is the
greatest amount ever given to any passen-
ger locomotive. The driving wheels are
seventy-nine inches in diameter and the
engine is capable of exerting the enormous
pull of p, $50 pounds on the drawing bar
Fourteen of this type are now in service.
and are reported to have amply justified
their construction by the fact that in emer-
gencies they have frequently made up lost
time which could not possibly have been
regafned with the locomotives of the 800
style. When the fast schedule of these
trains Is taken into account 1t will be seen
by these achievements that the newcomer
is speed-maker beyond the best type
prior to the date of it's appearance, and
the faith of the conservative engineers in
the previous attainment Of maximum
performance by the locomotive engine is
shaken

A Crisis AYerfea.

The arrangement OF the Tien Tsin
troubles just effected between Russia and
England is a sensible way out of what
threatened TO become a serious situation
Rival claims of right to enter upon and oc-
cupy certain land had been entered and the
troops of the claimants faced each other
with fingers on triggers, waiting for the
word to fire. The peace of Europe and
Asia hung In the balance. The action Of
Il single indiscreet officer or soldier might
have preeipitated a war, the end of which
no one could foretell. All that has thus

Census Padding.
From the Philadelphia Press.

FROM inc fhllauelpn1a PreS5.
The decision of Director of the Census
Merriam to investigate the charges of
fraud in taking the census of particular
counties in Maryland and to punish any
one found guilty of wrongdoing will be ap-
plauded by the country. The one dishonest
enumeration SO far found seems to have had
q ludicrous idea Of the duties Of census
taker According to his own testimony, he
believed it to be his right to use his own
judgment in entering or leaving off names
from his lists. and that the names Of men
dead within a year were to be enumerated
as among those living. He Is thought to
have added In this way over 500 frandu-
lent names in one county. Such an offense
Is not committed against one locality alone.
1t Is against the whole country. An ac-
curate census Is demanded as standard
to which to refer and from which to make
deductions, and any one attempting to
initiate it should receive a punishment
severe enough to prevent repetition of
the offense in future. Director Merriam
says that the guilty enumerator shall have
mo mercy" and the country will support
him I'm his decision.

To Regulate Type Size.

A bill has been introduced in the New
York legislature proposing to restrict the
size OF types used in books and periodicals
including newspapers. Its primary purpose
Is to prevent the use of overtime type in
school text books. and to the extent that it
would, in administration, accomplish this
end It Is worthy of universal support and
general imitation In other states. But 1t is
so broadly drawn that ii is possible under
its provisions for local boards Of health to
prevent the use of small types in news
papers. This feature of the measure Is be-
Ing rotndly condemned as an unwise inter-
ference with matters beyond the legitimate
range OF legislation The type used by news
papers is the result Of compromises between
various and conflicting forces. Every news
read intelhgently and freely by the greatest
possible number. 1t Is unavoidable that
some readers should be so afflicted as to fan
TO read easily the largest type which could
be economically provided. 1t Is at the same
time certain that II an effort were made to
please the most near-sighted readers the
great size OF the type. reducing the total
amount Of reading matter, would arouse
the protests OF those endowed with normal
sight. Therefore the size Of the type Is
chosen with care and with reference to
what Is found to be the requirements Of the
great majority Of readers. The subject could
not be more satisfactorily handled by a
medical board In any community.

Our Foreign Entanglem me nts.

In all discussions of possible international
broils the question is invariably PRO-
pounded. with which power would the
United States side? We fiatter ourselves
that We are free from foreign entangle-
ments. We have certainly been sufficiently
warned against them. But If We are to
believe the powers themselves, we are the
most extremely entangled nation in the
world We are entangled in every direc-
ton. and in case of a general war would
be obliged. In order to discharge our just
obligations. to help every power engaged.
even as against ourselves.
The Frenchmen say to us: 1.-THE United
States certainly remembers France. 1t
could not afford to forget the timely aid
rendered Washington and his men. With
out that the English yoke could not have
been thrown off. Virtually. therefore, you
owe your start to us; and as we are re-
public also now ourselves. the bond be-
tween us should be of the strongest
The Germans take this ground: "Onr
sympathies were with the Union during the
civil war. The number of Germantown
people in your country Is very large, end
the German-Americans are among your
best citizens. Should we not be the very
stanchest of friends? Are not American in
terests most closely allied to German in
terests?' .s.-.
The Russians hold this view: Ibid any
country ever render another a more signal
service than Russia rendered the Unit ed
States at the grayest period of the civil
war? When our ships dropped anchor in
the bay of New York was not the Union
cause all but hopeless? Were not 10th
England and France on the eve of Eecog
nizing the southern confederacy, and had
that been done would not the Union have
been destroyed? Certainly the United
States can never forget that service"
The English, after quoting our common
tongue and laws and customs. say: 1--WE
stood off Europe during your war with
Spain. The feeling was strong against you
all over the continent. and but for us it
would have made itself felt But We made
1t pretty plain that our sympathies We're
with you. and that there must be no out
side interference We kept the ring for
you. Is that worthy of remembrance? We
think so. Suppose You make a note of 1t. -
Now, Of course, the United States cheer
fully acknowledges all of these obligations
The services were rendered about as stated
and they were timely and valuable They
do constitute bono between us and those
who rendered them. Our relations are
friendly with all four powers, and the hope
is that they may remain so. But they do
not tie our hands as to the future. Our in
terests are constantly growing and chang
ing, as are those of the powers across the
water, and We must constantly guard
them. We are the enemy of no power
Nor could we afford to make ourselves
blindly the champion of any. Nor will We.

Mr.. Carnegie.

What shall we do with this strange man
Who says he's had his fill
OF getting money; that his plan
Is now to rid his till
OF all the change which it contains,
Who gaiIy gives away,
Nor once sustains remorseful pains,
Five millions In a day?
What shall we do with this strange man
Who doesn't hesitate
To turn from the ambitious clan
And shun chair Of state:
To honor his good deeds we seek
- With patriotic VIM
But he's SO deucedly unique!
What shall we do with him?

There is some agitation in Washington
In favor Of opening the magnificent Con-

the late session OF Congress Librarian Put
promise under which the reading rooms OF
the library could be kept open on Sundays
for the sake of many people who have no
opportunity to visit 1t on week days. But
the plan failed through the refusal OF the,
Senate library committee to make q little
appropriation Of $12O00 to pay for the
necessary Sunday service. If this matter
should be brought to the attention OF An

lfenafre there Ii no doubt that the reouisife
funds would be forthcoming.
