Reports from Pennsylvania are of a
most encouraging character. 1t seems
more than probable that Robert E. Pat
terson will defeat Senate Quay's candi-
date for Governor. 1t will be remembered
that the Republicans of Pennsylvania
wanted Attorney-General John p. Elkin
for g~ubernatorial candidate, but Senator
Quay feared the growing popularity of
Elkin and regarded it as a menace to his
own boss-ship. Therefore he went to
Harrisburg and forced Samuel w. Penny
packer on the convention. AS a result,
Republican enthusiasm has waned and
the Democrats are growing enthusiastic
over the chances of ~electing their candi-
date. 1t will further be remembered that
the Democratic candidate has already
twice defeated the Republicans in the
Keystone State, once in 1882 and again in
1891. That he will do so again in 1902 is
\ reasonable prediction.

OVER zoe, 900 MILES OF Raj
Constant Growth of the United States
Railway Mileage.

Consta mt Growth of the United States
Railway Mileage.
The railway mileage of the United
States has passed the 100000 mile mark.
The figures at the close of 1901 were APP
proximately 1884, miles, and the con-
struction for the first six months of 1902
brings the total up to POI. 500 miles, .he
track laid during the first hall Of this
year on 15J lines aggregaring 2,314 miles.
This is nearly 500 miles in excess of .he
new mileage for the first six months of
1901, when 81 miles were built. The
total for the twelve months last scar
was 5000 miles, and if the same ratio is
maintained this year it will readily be
seen that the construction for 1902 will
easily exceed 5000 miles Tracklaying
thus far this year has been distributed
throughout forty-one States and Terri
tories, the following States reporting TO
new mileage, although lines are under
construction in all of these with the ex-
ception of two or three New England
States: New Hampshire, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware
Wyoming, Nevada and Idaho.
Texas shows the largest new mileage
with 236 miles Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory are tied for second place,
with 211 miles each, and New Mexico is
fourth with 100 miles. Other States
showing 100 miles or over are: Arkan-
sas, 136 miles; Georgia, 125; Louisiana,
1O2, and Illinois, 100, Florida being near
the 100 mile mark with 81 to her credit.
While the new mileage is widely dis
tributed, the greater portion os it is To-
Gated in the southwest, the five States
and Territories of Arkansas, Texas, New
Mexico, the Indian Territory and Okla
homa Territory contributing no less than
9S4 miles. The eight States and Terri
tories which are usually classed US South
western States have built LAB miles of
new line, which is nearly half of the mile
age for the entire country. Other group
lngs are as follows: New England
States, 81 miles; Middle States. 121 rllles
Central Northern States 1876 miles; South
Atlantic States. 2S7 miles; Gulf and Mis-
sissippi Valley States, 191 miles; North
western States, 1873 miles; Pacific States.
172 miles. The States west of the Mis-
sissippi River have built 1913 miles. and
the States south of the Ohio and east of
the Mississippi $50 miles, making a total
or l,993 miles of new line completed in
the States south of the Ohio and west OF
the Mississippi River.

GFeenleaf w Pickard Of Boston has
just succeeded in performing a scientific
feat never before accomplished He has
telephOned by Hertsian waves, the hui
man voice being accurately and distinctly
reproduced Officials OF the Bell Tele-
sshone Company who We're invited to wit
ness the test signed a certificate that Il
was successful. The instruments were
in two rooms of Mr.. Pickard's house,
and il remains to be seen whether they
win work over greater distances. The
inventor does not yet claim that the de-
vice will be a commercial success. but
hopes to make it such in the near future.
Recently he constructed an instrument
at Cape May by which sounds were trans
Initted by Hertsian waves over a dis
tance of forty miles. At that time articu-
lat1on was not reproduced, but this is
now accomplished, though for only a
short distance. Mr.. Pickard is the son
of Samuel L. Pickard. a well-known jour
nalist and author, and is a granddaughter
OF the poet Whittier. He is still quite
young, but already has accomplished a
great deal in the development of the

BROOKLYN HITS ROCK.

Strikes Uncharted Obstruction Dur
ing Sham Warfare.
The United States cruiser BROOKLYN. the
flagship of Rear Admiral Coghlan, struck
a hidden rock in Buzzard's bay and sus-
tanned serious damage. The vessel is of
larger size than most boats which enter
those waters without local pilot, but the
officers state that the rock upon which
the vessel struck is uncharted.
The Brooklyn, together with three other
vessels, the Olympia, Puritan and May
flower, made an attack CD Fort Rodman
in the pursuance Of the plans Of the naval
maneuvers, but was repulsed. The de-
lenses of the eastern Spproach 20 New
Bedford replied to the attacking squadron
with a hot fire, and after a couple Of
hours the vessels drew off to rejoin the
main squadron. As they crossed Buzz
yards bsv and when they were just OPP
posite Dumping lighthouse the Brooklyn,
which was steaming slowly, stopped dead,
listed to starboard and began to settle.
The discipline on the cruiser was per-
feet. Scarcely had the shock been real
lied when the sailors and marines sprang
TO Stations" the orders for the closing
of the compartment were given and fol-
lowed out and the matches closed without
a hitch or a moments delay. No signs
of perturbation were to be seen.
The cruiser held on the rock but a few
seconds, when she began to slide off. 1t
was found that she was not making much
water and by the use of pumps was en-
abled TO steam to an anchorage.

WILL WANT MORE PAY.
Over Million Railroad Men in Great
est Labor Move Ever known.

Over n Million Railroad Men in Great
est Labor Move Ever known.
1t is well known to persons ION the
inside" that operating employees of every
railway system in the United States are
planning the greatest labor movement in
the history of their organizations and
that the railway managers Of the country
will soon be face to face with the most
serious problem ever presented to them.
There is to be q concerted demand for
higher wages for every class of workmen
employed in operating trains. 1t includes
engineers, conductors. firemen. trainmcn,
brakemen and switchmen and back of the
movement is solid phalanx Of between
100000 and 100000 men. 1t is UNI
derstocd that the demands will be for
from 10 to 90 per cent more wages than
are now paid, the increases varying in
the different branches of work. The fight
for higher pay will probably begin on
the lines running into Chicago from the
west, southwest and northwest. 1t will
be the outgrowth of a movement which
began some years ago to equalize the
wage scales throughout the country
While the railroad companies are ex-
pected to resist exorbitant demands,
should such be made the general belief
is that they viii accede to anything that
is reasonable rather than TO precipitate
a strike, which. should it result. would
paralyze the transportation business OF
the country and would surpass in magni.
tude anything ever attempted.
Nevertheless. it is certain that a general
increase in the wage scales Of operating
employees is viewed with alarm By rail-
way officials, Eecaue there is general
belief that the high-water mark in rail-
way earnings has been reached. 1t is
expected that within ayear or two the
pendulum will begin to swing backward
and the process OF pruning viii have to
begin again.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF cRops.
Frosts, Though General in Northeru
Districts, DO hut Slight Ha,sr


Districts. DO REt Slight Harsn.
Following is the Agricultural Depart
ment's weekly summary Of crop soldi-
tons:
Although the week WAS cool in th,, ccn-
trai valleys and lake region, with more
than the average rainfall in portions Of
she upper Mississippi valley, maturing
crops have made generally Favorable
though not rapid advancement. The
greater part of Texas, in which severe
drouth prevailed al she close of tbs. pre-
vious week, has received abundant rain
fall. and drouth conditions in the middle
Atlantic coast districts also have been
largely relieved but the interior OF the
middle Atlantic States. Ohio valley and
portions OF the lower lake region and
south Atlantic States continue 10 need
RAIN Light 10 heavy frosts were very
general IN the noytaern districts from
Montana to New England and the mid
die Atlantic States srom the Sd IL the
9th, with but slight injury Rain'is much
needed in Washington and Oregon, but
otherwise the general conditions OH the
Pacific coast were favorable.
Notwithstanding the prevalence OF low
temperatures throughout the corn belt
and copious rainfalls in portions of he
Mississippi valley, the corn crop has ias de
very satisfactory advancement toward
maturity and wholly escaped injury in
the States eastward of the Mississippi
river from frosts occurring on the IA
and 9th, with but slight injury in The
States TO the westward The bulk o. the
corn crop in Missouri and Kansas and
much of the early planted in Nebraska
and the States of the Ohio valley is now
safe. In Iowa. where corn has ripenei
very slowly, -uhiros of the crop prob
ably will be safe by Sept. 20 and the rest
will require ten days longer.
The thrashing of spring wheat, al
though further retarded. has made more
favorable progress than in the Previous
week
Texas and large part of the central
and eastern districts of the cotton belt
have received abundant rainfall during
the past week but il is doubtful whether
the beneficial effects Of these rains to late
cotton will offset the injury done to the
open staple.
an the States of the upper lake region
me reports respecting apples are favarl-
Die, while those from New York and New
England are variable. indicating a very
night crop in some sections. with plentiful
yields in others. In tue Ohio valley and
most of the middle Atlantic States the
outlook continues very poor.
Flowing for fall seeding has made more
favorable advancement in the Southern
States and Missouri valley. but in the
Ohio valley and po: rions of the middle
Atlantic States and the lake region the
soil is too dry for this work.
Late tobacco has experienced a general
improvement in the middle Atlantic
States and Ohio valley and cutting and
housing have progressed under favorable
conditions in all tobacco States.

STONE MAY END STRIKE.
Pennsylvania Governor Decides t.
Call the Legislature.

Pennsylvania Governor Decides to
Call the Legislature.
Gov Stone of Pennsylvania announced
Thursday that the coal strike shall be
ended. He declared that he would call
the Legislature to enact a compulsory
arbitration law. He said:
"A law that would settle labor disputes
between employer and employee must of
necessity be compulsory arbitration law
and the law must be final and conclusive.
This law must be drafted for the protec-
ton of society and must not be drawn in
the interest of employer or of employe.
Experience teaches that strikes e1,-
danger life and property. Whenever life
and property are in jeopardy society is
menaced. Therefore legislation should
be considered and drawn for the protec-
ton OF life and property as public regu-
lation, benefting the public and protecting
society.
In general strike like the present one
in the anthracitc coal regions the general
public suffers, and, in fact. the whole
country suffers, as well as the employer
and employe.
The participants must yield individual
rights for the benefit of society and the
public demand that strike disputes shall
be settled promptly and effectively. The

largest companies are said to have secur-

others are said to control from 10000 to
