Enormous Warehouses Rising
Almost From Waters Edge.

i wish 1 could show you one OF these
Liverpool docks. II you can imagine q line
Of fields ranging from an acre to twenty
or thirty acres in area, surrounded by the
finest OF masonry. upon which have been
built enormous warehouses, rising almost
from the waters edge. you maj have some
idea of them The ships discharge their
cargo directly into the warehouses. and
some OF the docks have direct connection
With the railroads, so that the goods can
be taken almost from the ships to the
trains
The largest Of all is the Alexandra dock
which has q water area OF forty-four acres.
It Is into this dock hat the most of our
great grain ships come. The grain IS In
loaded by means OF enormous revolving
belts which take It under the roadway and
carry It to the elevators. situated about a
quarter Of q mile from the landing. I went
over the largest OF these elevators during
my trip along the quays. 1t is modelled
after those built in the United States, snd
some Of its machinery Is American. BY
means OF these bands and an endless chain
Of buckets q stream OF grain Is carried al

Docks Extend a Distance
of Seven Miles.

These docks now flank the Mersey for q
distance of seven miles. There are sixty
~ them. great watts Of water. each cover
ing acres, surrounded by massive walls o.
stone and entered by iron gates. which
can be closed TO keep out the tide. The
gates work Just like the lock Of a canal
and when shut the water within them Is as
quiet as a millpond. There are in all -
acres Of such docks along the Mersey anc
twenty-six miles of quays.
There is an elevated railroad which runs
from one end Of the docks TO the other.
II IS built upon a wall high up above the
street. the cars being laid on semlcyiinders
of iron. The trains are somewhat Ike those
Of the elevated railroad Of New YORK, save
that the cars are first and second class.
I took a ride on this road to-day 10 get a
view of the Liverpool shipping. We went
by warehouse after warehouse, and dock
after dock, passing steamers from all parts
OF the world. There were enormous buliu-
ings filled with cotton from the United
States. grain elevators covering acres at
which were being unloaded carloads OF
wheat from New York, Phhaceiphla ana
Nev Orleans. the largest tobacco ware
house OF the world. filled with tens OF thou-
sands of hogsheads of the favorite weed Of
our Southern States and on by other E'are-
houses. where all sorts OF American goods
were being landed from the Atlantic liners
which carry passengers and feright- There
were ships from Australia. India, China
and the Cape Of Good Hope, as well as
sailing ships from almost every part of
the world. About 5000 vessels come 10
Liverpool every year, and the tonnage
which annually goes in and out Of the
port aggregates almost 25,000,0oO tons.

The city IS continually buying new
ground for docks and improving the port

SENATE PASSES BILL.
Authorizing Territory Towns and
Cities TO Issue Bonds.

The senate has passed the bill
introduced by Senator Quarles, au-
thorizing cities and towns in In
dian territory to issue bonds in an
amount the interest on which, at
5 per cent. per annum. would be
lIquidated by tax of 5 mills upon
the dollar of the valuation of the
taxable property in such cities
and towns, the money borrowed
thereon to be used for the con-
struction of sewers and water
works and the building of school
houses in towns and cities in the
IDdirn territory having a popula-
tion of 1000 and over.
Recently the house passed a
similar bill. and an effort will be
made to have that body concur in
the amendment of the senate. 1t
is probable that the bill will be-
come a law within the next two
weeks.

propositions that be enlist the in
fuence of those politicians who in
variably demand a part of the pat

Mr.. Darrough has come out
squarely on the "Home Rule"
issue, and has announced that he
will not make a single promise to
any senator or other possessor Of
"inHuence" in the matter of pat
ronage. He contends that the
time has arrived when the terri

litical domination of Kansas, or
any other part Of the Union, and
that the claims of the territory
should be recognized Heretofore
