METRIC SYSTEMS ADVANTAGES.

nearing BEFORE the House Committee
on Coinage. Weights and Measures.
Reasons why the metric system of
weights and measures should be made the
official standard of measurements of the
United States were presented to the House
committee on coinage. weights and meas
ures today by Prof. Elihu Thompson of the
General Electric Company, Mr.. James
Christie, superintendent of the Pencoyd
bridge and iron works: Mr. Henry Troem-
ner, manufacturer of scales and weights,
of Philadelphia: DR.. A. e. Kennedy, an
electrical engineer, and others.
The great convenience and advantage of
having uniform system of weights and
measures was set forth to the committee
by all present.
Prof Thompson had collected In writing
the views of many mechanical engineers,
all OF whom favored the adoption of the
system. He estimated that IL would cost
something like Sl5O,OoO to make the change
or systems in the General Electric works
but ultimately, he argued, this money
would be saved in the reduced cost of COM
outationS.
Mr.. Christie. who followed thought Prof
ThOmpSonS s estimate was too high He did
not believe 1t would cost over $500 to make
the change in his shops, which he said
were the largest bridge works in the world
The new system would have to be put into
effect gradually, and both Mr. Christie and
Prof. Thompson advised that the govern
ment put it into effect in all its depart
ments first, and allow at least two years to
eiapse before making 1t the standard sys-
tenn of the country.
Chairman Southard stated that the priv
Hege OF using the metric system had oeen
granted to the departments of the govern
ment in 1866.
Mr. Troemner. in discussing the cost OF
changing the scales of the country to the
new system, said that the only expense in
changing the common balancing scales
would be in changing the weights. To the
average store this would not cost more than
$.
DR.. Kennedy stated that electrical en-
glneers already dealt in units of the metric
system to a large extent, and would ap-
preciate having the system used in all
branches of mechanics.
No action was taken by the committaa

GERMANY is MAD
High Official Dictates Statement
About British intervention
QUESTION dF VBRAClfY INVOLVED
British Foreign Office Had En-

BERLIN, February 6.-The official Brit
ish denial that.Lord Pauncefote, the British
ambassador at Washington, on April IA,
1898, made-a second proposal to the powers
to- demonstrate with the United States, was
today laid before a high German official,
whose functions give him absolute first
hand knowledge of everything just as it oc-
CURED. He reaffirmed the statement made
In these dispatches yesterday. Referring
to his copious notes. he dictated therefrom
to the correspondent of the Associated
Press the following data:
On February IA the. Spanish ambassador
at Berlin asked the German government
whether Germany was. willing to head a
European movement against the United
States in defense of the monarchic prin-
clple. The next day the ambassador was
informed by order Of the emperor that Ger
many would under no circumstances take
the action desired.
= Spain Renews Her Efforts.
Spain renewed her efforts in March to
secure some action by Germany, but she
was again answered with refusal. At
the same time, DR.. Won Holleben was in
structed to only take part in any steps at
washington in the interests of peace II all
the other five great powers participated
Then, on April T. the joint note was handed
to President Mckinley
we were informed from Washington on
April IA that the British ambassador there
proposed a second collective note, declar-
ing that armed Intervention in Cuba would
be unjustifia,ble Again, upon the emperor 8
order, the German representatives at
Washington, Rome, Vienna and Madrid
were instructed that Germany would re-
fuse to participate in such declaration, as
she saw no prospect that anything could be
accomplished thereby
The correspondent of the Associated Press
gets the impression that while the German
government wishes to avoid the appear
anee of desiring to fall into the United
states arms, on the other hand she re-
CARDS 1t as important to controvert the
wrong Impressions that Germany was dis
posed to do anything unfriendly to the
United States
