TOO MUCH WHEAT IN KANSAS.

For the first time In its history Kan
sas has more wheat than 1t knows what
to do with. Not only are the granarieS
and bins running over with grain, but
the elevators are filed and the farmers
are still bringing it to market by hun
dreds of thousands Of bushels The long
dry weather was, in a sense, a bonanza
for wheat raisers. Much of the grain was
SO heavy that it fell to the ground and
would have been lost had there been wet
weather. But with the long hot clear
days every straw could be gathered. most

bushels will be gathered and the high
price is giving the farmers a fine in

AS the strings of wagons came to mar

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
Harper's Weekly

Harper's Weekly.
Nothing perhaps better illustrates the
difference between British and American
business methods in the present year OF
grace than the satisfaction of the Great
Northern Railway Company of England
that one of their locomotives, built In
1870, has completed 100000 miles. This is
record, say the company a thing to be
proud Of, because it shows that our
engines are made to last and are not
shoddy." But the American view is quite
different This record, says the super
intendent of motive power of one of our
great trunk lines, sis far beyond any
thing we can show, and 1 may add, is
ahead of anything We intend shall be
shown by any of our engines. If we kept
an engine in service thirty years we
should think we were neglecting our
DUTY to the public. An engine thirty
years old is an antiquated machine. We
expect to get as. much work as possible
out of our locomotives knowing that
when they are worn out progress will
have produced so many improvements
that it would be no economy to continue
the older engine in service, even if it
could be rebuilt. In England an engine
is petted, and it's life prolonged as much
as possible
Herein explains in sentence why Eng
land, no less than all the rest of the
world, is suffering from the stress of
American competition. The best is none
too good for US, whether it be in locomo-
dves or in the machinery to make
nratches-and the best is the cheapest in
the end. The English are satisfied with
locomotive thirty years old-a locomo-
tive which has been patched and tinkered
and 'petted'-Which is uneconomicaI be-
cause 1t wastes fuel, and is lacking in
power. Thirty years ago it was perhaps
the best machine of its class, but machin-
cry, unlike wine, does not improve with
age The American railway manager
knows that 1t is cheaper to build than
to patch; that after an engine has lived
its life it is economy to send 1t to the
scrap heap and buy a newer and better,
and more powerful machine, which con
Sumes less fuel and requires fewer re-
pairs. The Engiishman may know that
his engine is not up to date, and growls
at the bad service of his railway COM
pany, and. having growled and probably
written to the Times about it, he puts
up with all the shortcomings. The Amer
lean does something more than growl;
he demands the highest perfection, and
unless it is furnished to him he patron
ICES rival. Competition in the United
States is so keen that to hold the
trade the best service and the latest i'm
provements are given to the public, and
the British public is now getting the beN-
eft OF the American methods.

The testimony of Admiral Cotton, re-
citing his experiences while in COM
mand of the Harvard, as dispatch bear
er to the flying squadron represents per-
fered in sustainment of the charges
against Admiral Schley. Taking that
testimony at its face value there is
positive showing of neglect or at least
of remissness on the part of the COM
nlaNder of the flying squadron.
According to Admiral Cotton the DIS
his commanding officer Sampson reached
Schley by May 9th, advising him that
the Spaniards were in the harbor of San
tiago; but that instead of confirming the
or taking any other precaution, or maxi
ing any affirmative effort in any direction
toward beneiting by the information,
Schley contented himself with dispatching
to the department that his fleet is out
of coal; that the weather has been too
severe to admit of his coaling from his
golfers and that there is no suitable
harbor in the vicinity in which he could
coal; and thereupon he turns around
and sets off for Key West to supply
himself with the needed COAL
This involves a severe arraignment OF
Schley on it's face. 1t is of course ca
pable of explanation; and looked at in
the light of the honest changes which
are shown to have been made in the
printed report of the navy department
of Schley's answering dispatch 1t may
safely be regarded as representing
situation devised by the marplots of
the navy department to Schleys injury.
But Admiral Schley and his friends will
need to thoroughly disprove and discredit
the imputation which Cottons testimony
carries with it.
The answering dispatch of Admiral
Schley, offering explanation for his in
ability to carry out the departments or
ders and declaring his intention to go
to Key West, is dated May 2Sth The
contention, them that he did not receive
the advices embodied in the department s
dispatch dated the 18th, until the 31st, is
effectively disposed of in favor of schIey' S
enemies.
Was Schley acting culpably when he
ordered his fleet to return to Key West
Could man of greater energy and
capacity as commander have coaled his
fleet from the Merrimac? A negative
answer to both of these questions is in
dispensabie if schley's enemies are not
to prevail.
On the information furnished to schley
Of the whereabouts of the enemy, a
blockade of Santiago must virtually have

At the 5heaters.

Women who have made famous such
emotional roles as TheodorS Cleopatra
and the like have done so by a certain
tempestuous force within themselves that
sUbordinated beauty of person, grace of
form and all femininity and that swept
relentlessly before them not only the
prejudice of the proper but the callous-
ness of the blase. Mrs. Bruno, who ap-
peared last night at the Metropolitan in
Theodore" is not an actress of that
class. One never for a moment forgets
her femininity, her mobile face or her
sinuous body and it is because Of these
charms rather than because of her art
that she wins. Not that Mrs. Brune's
art is of an inferior order. On the con-
trary! But it is an art that must supply
what a woman of larger physique and
emotions would not demand. Mrs
Brune's best piece of work is in the final
scene with Andreas before the latters
death. She is so little of the adventures
and the empress here, so much of the
woman that she makes the brief scene
almost painfully human
But it is in the scene with the witch

ing is almost above criticism. Here she

from the character of the empress to that

is one of the triumphs of Mrs Brune's
