CHEAP FUEL.
Expediency Of Using Petroleum in
Place of Coal.

Place of Coal.
From the New York Tribune
Although the prospect varies slightly from
day to day, the general outlook for an
ample coal supply during the coming win
ter is certainly far from encouraging. II
there is not to be such a dearth of anthra-
cite and soft coal as to amount to posi-
tive famine, at any rate there is proba-
bility that both of them will be sufficiently
scarce to maintain prices materially above
last years level Consumers who have not
already laid in their usual stores or have
not contracted for the same are unable to
tell how long their anxiety will continue.
An embarrassing situation which at one
time it was hoped would end in a few days
has now stretched out through four mont MS.
and it threatens to last indefinitely. Even
after the strike Is ended there Is no telling
when quotations win get down to normal
basis.
In these trying circumstances the owner
of a steam plant may well consider the ex-
pediency of using petroleum In place Of
,.aal. So far as the general feasibility Of
LIQUID fuel Is concerned there has been no
room for doubt since It was employed to
run the power station Of the Columbian ex-
hibition in Chicago nine years ago. When
this fact Is supplemented with another, the
use of oil on something like hundred big
steamships today, It VIII be seen that dts
cussion must be confined to minor and incl
dental features of the scheme. One of these
Is the style of boiler required for OIL II an
entirely new plant Is being designed per-
haps smaller and shorter tubes than are In
troduced where coal is burned might be
preferable. Yet Prof. Denton conducted q
two weeks trial Of Texas oil In this city
last winter with furnace and boiler
formerly run with coal. and he secured
highly satisfactory results. The experiment
not only demonstrated the excellence Of the
product OF the Beaumont wells. but also the
simplicity OF the apparatus which Il was

labor. st oking would be almost automatic,
and there would be no ashes to remove.
The most vital of the remaining questions
to be considered relates to the possibility
Of getting a steady supply of oil. Ample
assurance on this point Is already afforded.
Within the last few days the Tribune has

French Soldiers Marching Feat.

From the Paris Messenger.
The excellent marching qualities of
French troops are well known. Visitors to
the Riviera must have been struck with the
splendid way in which the sturdy men Of
the district swing along the hilly roads. An
interesting and significant anecdote on the
same subject is reported from the eastern
frontier. A few days ago an infantry bat
TALON was out on a reconnaissance in close
proximity to the border. At a moment
when the soldiers were at the boundary
line two smart-looking gentlemen, who
were lust on the other side, asked lieu
tenant II he would kindly introduce them
to the commanding officer. The request
was willingly complied with, and they were
conducted to the major. to whom they ex-
planned that they were German officers who
had but recently left the military schools
at Berlin. Although this little visit APP
peared somewhat singular. the major nat
urally greeted them In a very polite man
ner replying with the utmost courtesy to
several questions which they addressed to
him about his battalion.
The conversation turned upon marching
and staying powers OF the soldiers OF the
various continental armies. The French
oficer stated that his men had covered
twenty-five miles In the course of the day.
and that there had been no stragglers.

FORECAST BY MANLEY
Maine Member Of Republican Com
mittee on Next House

AAAASSSO o1I ttCAt -nOuSG.
A special to the Baltimore American from
Augusta, Me-. last night says: Joseph H.
Manley, member efsthe Republican national
committee, tonight made a forecast Of the
coming congressional election. There is no
better political prophet in the country than
Mr.. Manley, and his conclusion that the re-
publcans will have in the next House a
majority only a little smaller than in the
present House is based on a careful re-
view of the situation throughout the coun-
try. Mr.. Marley said:
I'm the present House of Representatives
-358 members. with one vacancy existing
the republicans have majority of 45.
The next House of Representatives under
the new census will have 1856 members
while the republicans will make SIREN
uous fight In every district where they have
any show whatever still 1t must be admit
ted that it will be far better for the republi-
can party in the presidential contest Of 1904
II 1t should lose the present House Of Rep
reserta tives. and this Is apparent to every
one If the next House should have demo-
cratic majority they would be powerless to
pass any legislation, but they would so
show their hand that the republicans would
be greatly strengthened throughout the
country. This fact is known to the demo-
cratic managers, and it is believed, with
great deal of authority. that they do not
expect and do not desire to carry the next
House
Il predict that in the next House the
republicans will have 38 majority. This
estimate is made upon the present condi
lions as they exist throughout the country
on the LIST Of October The election not
occurring until November, there may be
changes. but 1t does not seem possible that
the republicans can be deprived Of the con-
troll of the next House. A very careful ex-
animation into every district. correspond
ing with prominent men there leads me to
the firm conclusion that the next House Is
surely republican and no power can change
1t.
The tariff question will not play very
important part because those who desire
to reduce the tariff will accomplish their
object by the reciprocity treaties that will
be passed. and those who are for keeping
the present tariff on schedules where 1t
should be kept will not consent to their re-
duction" ...-,

Col George A Pearre, who Is this week
canvassing Montgomery county for re-elec-
ton to Congress, in conversation with The
Star correspondent ridiculed the claims of
his opponent Mr.. kenneWeg. and other dem
ocrats in regard to tAssFesult in the sixth

1.-The claims of my friend, Mr.. Kenneweg.
are amusing in the Lsxtrsahe. He says he
will surely carry AllsEanY county. Nothing
could be more ridiculous. The county Will
give me a handsome tila j6ffty, and do not
apprehend that my majority there will fall
below what 1t was two Nsars ago, when
carried the county by over, sixteen hundred.
His claims in regard to Garrett, Frederick
and Washington confitieA are equally abb
surd. The only county In the district that
will show balance sJp favor Of the demo-
cratsris Montgomerys,an and my reports from

Our One Poisonous Vine.

From the Birmingham Age-Herald
The wanderers afield In these delightful
autumn days should not forget that there is
a vine to be avoided We call 1t poison
oak" but in many parts of the country it is
called poison ivy" All the states have 1t.
and there is no vine more beautiful, es-
pecially in the autumn. 1t closely resem-
bles the Virginia creeper, but poison oak
belongs to the cashew family. while the
harmless Virginia creeper belongs to the
vitaceae family. While they resemble each
other in appearance. yet they can readily
be differentiated. because the creeper's
leaves grow in threes while those Of poison
oak are in fives. Don't forget this simple
rule. There are other differences, but this
one is quite enough for defensive purposes.

The population of Cuba in 1887 was
l,G3l ,G87, or $4,000 more than in
1899. Allowing for the probable in
crease between 1887 and 1896, the
year in which the insurrection broke
out, the loss of life, as indicated by tho
two censnses is estimated at nearly
200, 900, loss to be attributed to the
war and the policy of recommendation.
