Seized Another Opportunity.

Washington. June 1o.-The United
States has taken advantage of another
opportunity TO urge the powers inter
ested in the settlement OF the Chinese
matter to submit the controversy to
The Hague tribunal. Word was re
ccived from Commissioner Rockhill at
the state department asking for per
mission To urge the submission to the
tribunal before the assembled minis
tiers. and permission for him TO do 50
was granted. From the reports which
have been received ut the state de
partmeut. it is evident that the repre-
sentatives of the powers are unable
10 reach anything like an agreement,
and in the practical deadlock which
has been reached the suggestion has
been made that The Hague tribunal
would be an impartial one which could
well take up all matters now involved
and adjust them without fear of bias
in favor of any nation.

TIMING YOUR TRAIN.
Ways In Which TO Learn How Fast
You Are travelling.


There has been some picturesque
fiction written about the ease with
which railroad men and drHmmers are
supposed To tick of the miles as the
train speeds along from things they
can see from the car windows" said a
railroad conductor To reporter.
There IS only one strictly accurate
way, and that is 10 seat yourself GA the
side of the train from which uay be
observed the white mile posts that line
the road ana held your watch ON them.
II you base a split second watch. il
viii prove interesting 10 note that
while You made one mile ia so seconds
the next was covered in % and the
third in ~ seconds. and So on as the
speed of the train Increases or slack
ems You may also follow around the
little second hand on an ordinary
watch. 1t kills time.
Some pretend 10 say that they can
tell the speed of the train by counting
the telegraph poles. II there were m
exact number Of telegraph poles TO ov-
cry mile this might be done Icy little
figuring but there is difference. The
number of tcIe graph poles 10 a mile
vary from 30 to To- depending upon the
straight stretches and the curves in the
track, the latter having more poles
than The former. So. you see. 1t is not
as easy as the drummer would have
the other passengers bcIieye
III the poles are planted SO To the
mile. they are 1Go feet apart and every
IL passed represents Il third of mile,
If placed 10 10 mile they are I32 feet
apart. and every 70 represents half a
mile
THESE are easy figures to remember.
and 10y applying them on a Journey
passenger may obtain an idea more or
less accurate of the speed of the train.
Another way is to attempt to count
the clicks of the wheels of the truck Of
your car as they pass over the rails
where Joined Tie rails of the roads as
placed today are too evenly Joined to
arrive at an exact determination by
this method. because If you miss two or
three joints your calculations are
thrown out as to accuracy.
However. there are railroad men
who cannot tell you the number of rails
to the mile Of their own roads and
rails vary in length. the average being
so feet. some }5 feet and some 80 feet.
At 81 feet there are l7G rails TO the
mile, and if you can count 11G consccu-
tive cIiuks as your train flies along you
may determine it's speed and not other

sembled last night at meeting of the United
Republicans of Baltimore, held at 418 East

who presided, was unsparing in his criticism
of certain prominent Republicans. He said
in part
''They may paint as roseate picture as
they please at headquarters of Republican
clean-sweep this coming election, but, gentle
men, do you know that in 1897, when the
State administration was with us and the ma
jority of Supervisors of Elections were with
us, and the committing magistrates we're with
us, and the Police Commissioners were with
us-that is, we thought they were with MS
and we had an election law of our own max
ing-do you know, | say, that 80 votes, prop
erly distributed. would have given the State to
the Democrats What, then, are our pros
poets now, when all these things are against
us? But if we are defeated this year We know
where to place the bame-upon Senator Me-
Comas' shoulders. If we are licked and
have spark of vitality left l shall make it

are responsible for our defeat. y

Facts About Sugar-Why the Duty
Should Be Removed.
New YoRK. October 18th, 1901.

New YORK, October 18th, 1901.
As good deal has recently appeared in
print regarding the consumption of sugar in
this country, the various sources from which
it is obtained, the amount of duty paid there
on, etc., the following facts and figures will,
we believe, be of interest to your readers
"The total consumption of sugar in the
United States last year was 2,2l9,847 tons,
and based on the average increase of 6.34 per
cent. during the past 10 years, the consump-
ton this year should be 1880, 5S5 tons. OF
this quantity 100000 tons in round figures
will come from American sources, say Louisi-
ana being able to produce $50, 600 tons, United
States beet factories $50, 900, Hawaii $50, 600
and Porto Rico 150, 900, all being free of duty,
leaving 1850, 585 tons to come from other
sources and on which duty is paid The
average duty assessed is $50 per ton, or total
of $48, 981, 060 The price of all the sugar
consumed. however, being enhanced to the
extent of the duty of $50 per ton or total of
$s4, 981 ,060, it is evident that $50, 900, 900 ad
ditional is paid by the people in order to pro-
vide the Government with 40 millions for
revenue, of which the Government is not now
in need. If the duty is taken off Cuba sugar,
the benefit of IS millions goes to the people.
''On October 9Th, the quotation for Cuba
Centrifugal Sugar $50 test, free on board Cuba
was Loco per h., duty on same amounts to
.685c--equivalent to SO per cent advaorem."
