Engine and Car Famine.

The Baldwin Locomotive Works has suf-
ficient orders now on hand, it is said, to keep
them running day and night for the next SIX
months. The same story Is true OF all other
engine building and car plants throughout
the country. Railroads are crying foI equip
ment and the demand far exceeds the supply.
The transportation world is face TO face
today with the greatest car and power short
age in its history. 1t is estimated by con-
seryative and expert traffic men that the de-
mand for cars to move the traffic OF the
country which is now being offered for trans
portation is fully $4,000 in excess of the sup,
ply. AS the weeks 60 by the shortage Will
undoubtedly increase rather than decrease,
until it reaches point where every freight
yard and every freight house in the country
IS blockaded with traffic awaiting transpor'
tation facilities.

It is becoming more and more appa-
rent that there will be no change In the
tariff schedules during the coming SEES
sion. The republican leaders who are
arriving in Washington all say that
there will be no time to even think OF
tariff revision" during the "short ses-
sion.' Gen. Grosvenor, who has re-
turned for the winter, is most emphatic
in this opinion. 1t must be remember
ed that the elections have in no way
changed the organization Of the House
and will have no effect until the next
Congress convenes, therefore, with the
Speaker and large majority OF the
ways and means committee bitterly op-
posed to any revision, those members
who do favor such policy will be given
no opportunity to do more than present
bills which will be promptly referred
to the committee named and there en-
tirely smotbered.

The officials of the Navy department
are greatly interested in the reports be-
ing received of the effectiveness Of the
new torpedo boat, the Adder. Accord
ing to these reports the Adder made a
run of two miles in one direction, turned
with the greatest celebrity and returned
to the starting point and Immediately
on its arrival there fired torpedo
which came within ten feet of small
target. All this was done under water
and in an incredibly short space Of time.
While running at high rate Of speed
there was no indication on the surface
of the water. SO that an enemys vessel
would have had actually no warning of
the approach and could not possibly
have attempted any retaliatory measure
until the vessel was entirely out of sight
and reach.

There is good deal Of comment a

gress aud they cite the New York del

to which the people are, i'll these days,
departing from the adage, sold men for
counsel" With the youngest Presi-
dent in the White House that the coun.
try has ever had, the next House of
Representatives will show the youngest
bodyot men ever selected to legislate on
the affairs of the nation. 1t has been
said that the Senate, however, would
not be affected by this craze for young

The copy of the Cuban treaty has
been received in Washington and while
the terms are not altogether satisfacto-
ry to the administration, Secretary Hay
still hopes to secure the necessary mod
ifcation so that it will be in shape to
present to Congress when it conyenes
two weeks hence. 1t may be said that
the Cuban government, emboldened by
the shortage in the sugar supply in the
world and the increased price resulting
therefrom, demands larger discount
from the Dingley tariff rates than the
administration feels justified in asking
Congress to allow but Gen. Bliss has
gone to Cuba and will attempt to con-
vince President Palma that to demand
too much is likely to defeat the treaty
which would prove disappointment
to the President and a serious injury to
Cuba.

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE
Monday, November II, 1902.
A rumor has been started IN Wash
ington this week, apropos of the con-
test for the Speakership, which is at
tracing widespread attention. both as
curiosity and as a possible factor in
the struggle tor craftsmanship of the
House of Representatives. 1t has been
discovered that under the constitution,
the Speaker of the House need not be q
member. He may be elected from pri-
yate life. No sooner was the discovery
made than it was suggested that 1t
would be an appropriate token OF their
respect and esteem, for the republican
members to elect General Henderson
speaker of the Fifty-eightb Congress,
Notwithstanding the fact that he is not
q member of that Congress. Whether
this suggestion was simply put forward
as feeler, at the behest of Gen. Hen
derson himself, or whether it is merely
the idea of some of the Speakers ar
dent friends, of whom he has a host in
Washington, is not known. The poss-
Utility, however, if followed up by even
moderate campaign in behalf of Gen.
Herderson's claims will serve to still
further complicate the situation and
render the coming session even more
interesting than was anticipated.

JAIL Delivery.

When Sheriff Andersen entered the
Jail room this morning at daylight he
found the two prisoners, Al Ables and
Kirk Winchel. had ESCAPED. They had
been allowed the freedom Of the hall
outside the cells because Of ihe plea ot
poor health. They must have obtained
knife from outside parties. With
this they cut into the window sill on the
side of the south window. With a piece
of iron about foot long which they
broke from the side Of the cell, they
pried this piece OF window sill out and
pounded some Of the brick wall out.
Thus an opening was made ~ inches
by about foot, small hole, but they
crawled through it. This morning
Deputy Humphrey is out hunting them
and Sheriff Anderson is keeping tele.
phone, telegraph and mail busy COM
municsting with all the surrounding
country. They will be good ones If they
get away. They were put in Jail about
a month ago for stealing from Gault's
store in Extra. They are daring fellows.
Each is about twenty.six years old.
Ables is feet, inches high, weight l35
pounds,light mustache curled up at ends,
light hair, light hat bound in white,
dark suit. Winchel il 6 feet. weighs
rs pounds, smooth shaved; light hair
rather long, dark suit. Neither has
an overcoat.

Ora duating Day.

We notice some Of our neighboring
towns are making arrangements for
graduation exercises in their public
schools, some preparing to have dis
tinguished orator address the class and
others to have each member Of the class
crate. This reminds us that as we had
a speaker address the class last year and
as the high school course was extended
a year this year preventing the gradua-
ton Of class this year, that Audubon
people will have to wait at least three
years from the time of hearing one class
crate until another CRATES. 1t is good
W lille to wait. Some OF us will nearly
forget how to navigate along down the
journey of life, or words to that effect.
We do OF mean to make fun OF the av-
erage graduating orator, only those who
make thrir orations on the worn out
subjects. We presume it makes lots Of
difference whether one has been listen
ing to graduating orations once or twice
yCdis iOi tNOhty-hNo yooto VI
whether one is listening to one for
the first time. But as one grows little
older one appreciates originality Of
thought in graduating Grafton the
sam. as in sermon, book. news
paper article or a stump speech. How
is student to know bis subject is worn
thre adbare? The instructors are largely
responsible for. subjects chosen and to
some extent for the manner OF treatment.
We think the threadbare subjects ought
to be avoided
As to the choice between the gradu.
ates speaking and having prominent
orator address the class, we believe the
public generally prefers the former 1t
makes more interest in the occasion.
