But the last few days OF the dying year

The SUFFRAGE PLAN.-The report
that Senator Daniel will resign his place
10 the Constitutional Convention adds
interest TO the suffrage question. As the
chairman OF the Suffrage Committee Of
that body the Senator was expected to
take q prominent part in the discussion
on that subject. 1t is believed now that
strong effort will be made to bring up
the report of the committee immediate
ly after the convention reassembles on
January /. There is a motion pending
now for this purpose.
Hon. George d. Wise, who early 10
the session presented suffrage plan,
which provided for giving every man
owning $500 or over two votes, has
another scheme which he will introduce
as soon as the convention meets again.
The retirement of Senator Daniel would
place Attorney g eneral elect Anderson
at the head of the Suffrage Committee.
Hon. John Goode, president of the
convention, is in Washington. In refer.
ence to the suffrage plan he says; VI
believe the outcome will be poll tax
qualification of about 81 so. payable elk
months before the election" and, added
Judge Goode, two years residence in
the State, an educational qualification,
aud, perhaps, a small property qualifi-
catior."

UNITED STATES STEAM COAL.
Taking the Place of the welsh Prod
net ~ Euel for the NavAes
In the East.

There can be no doubt that the
United States steam coal soon will
take the place of the Welsh product to
large extent as the fuel for the
navies in the east, according to re-
port OF the British consul at Nagasah,
an extract of which has been trans
mitted to the state department by
United States Consul Lyman at Hiogo.
This American coal, according to the
British consuPs report, at first was re-
ceived with disfavor in Japan, but
upon trial proved eminently satisfac-
tory, and as it is only about two
thirds of the price of Cardiff coal, and
practically just as serviceable, econ
omy, 1fnothing else, should bring about
the result anticipated.

Aluminium Wire.

There are three separate transmits
sion circuits from the Niagara power
house to Buffalo, two of which are
copper, and installed on the same
pole line. The third circuit is strung
upon a separate pole line through
out its entire length, and is of alu-
minium instead of copper. This al
uminium line has the same resistance
as each of the other two, and is COM
posed of three cables of 100000 cir
cular mills, each made up of 81
strands. At the present market price
of copper wire it is cheaper to use
aluminium for overhead lines where
the conductors do not have to be in
sulated. The conductivity of al
minimum is less than copper, and the
price per pound is greater, but the
volume per pound of aluminium is
much greater than that of copper on
account Of the lower specific gravity
of the metal. When, therefore, re-
sistance per pound is taken as the
basis for comparison, aluminium is
found to be cheaper.-Cassler's Maga-
