POWERFUL GAS ENGINES.
Their General Introduction Is Due to
; q " sthe EvplutiOn of Various Fuel
Z & ~ Il - Gas Processes.

Of late years the size of gas engines
has much increased. Many makers are,
now building machines of~2,,5oo- horse
power, and are ready to double this
efficiency. The development of large.
gas engines is slowly connected with
the evolution of the fuel-gas processes,
and it is noteworthy that the first gas
engines in. England above 400 horse
power were operated with producer.
gas, while many of the large gas en-
Fgines in Europe have been built for use;
with blast furnace gas. In August,
1902, two English firms had under cons.
struetion over 50~gas engines varying
in size from 200 to 1000 horsepower.
A classified list.-of engines made or

volume of the United States census

the country. withSa total capacity of
10000 horsepower, or only about
nine horsepower. on the average. This
state of things is not likely to last long.
One American firm has already sold
over 10000 horsepower of large en-
gines, most of them of 1900 and sew
eral of 900 horsepower. Another has
recently built two 1000 horsepower
gas eompressers5 and a number of 1000
horsepower gas engines. The gas en-
gines of the larger sizes are extensive
ly used for generating electric light
and power, but there's a decided tend
ency to employ the smaller sizes direct
as motors. Cheap fuel gas processes
will bring the gas engine Ito replace
the, electric motor for very many pur-
poses, and we may look for develop
ment along these lines in the near flu

CARNEGIE YEAR BOOK.
Plans Laid for Scietifac Research
 Througout the World.


 Washington, Dec. 29.-The year book of the Carnegie Institution which will be issued in a few days makes interesting announcements of the works and plans laid for scientific research throughout the world in many different branches of science.
 Itshows that the institution has total assets of $10,10l, 800 and a balance on hand in the treasury on November 1 last of $445.472. The administration expenses in- cluded $21 227 for honorariums and $13.000 for salaries of officers. The appropria- tions made for the coming year are s1O0.0OO for reserve funds; $40Oo0 for publication fupnd; $6O,OOO for administration; $13,O0O for grants for larger projects. and $20O,O 900 for grants for minor expenses and $500 for special grants.
 The report of the committee on observa- tories advocated the establishment of an active astronomical station in the south ern hemisphere for the reason that there Is needed in certain special lines a greater output for astronomical observatories which can be obtained only in the south ern hemisphere.
 The committee also recommends the establishment of an observation station for solar investigation at an elevated point where the atmospheric conditions should be of exceptional excellence. Mount Wilson, few miles east of Los Angeles, is suggested as the main station for the proposed solar observatory.

Officials Now Talk of Lack of
 Courtesy.
 Yesterdays Mobile Register told the story of the removal of Driscoll and Rus sell as follows:
 Sunday evening Sheriff Waller of Montgomery County, and Captain Taylor, of the Montgomery city police, arrived in the city on the Mobile and Ohio Rail- road train, having in custody the alleged safe blowers, Driscoll and Russell The men were heavily ironed and were closely watched. They were taken from the stockade at Vinegar Bend on an order signed by Vice-President Bragg, of the State Convict Board.
 As soon as it became known that the men were here there was a general nov ing toward the depot of detectives, re- porters and one or two attorneys. The men having the suspects in charge did not like the publicity they were getting They first wired for permission to ride with their prisoners on a fast freight train which left here about 10 o'clock. This was denied by the railroad officials. Then the officers called a hack and put their men in it. saying they were going to private residence for the night, and ask ing the depot policemen to forward any telegrams there.
 Where they did go is not known. but it is known that they drove down Church Street a few moments before passenger train No. 96 pulled out, drove up to the west side of the train, where there are no lights and with the train between them and the platform. and put their men aboard the rear platform of the last car just as the train started, and thus the train was pulling out before the many watchers knew that the suspects were being spirited away.
 Tt was asserted Sunday night and yes terday that the officers acted in this man ner because they feared the service of 9 writ of habeas corpus
 The news that Driscol and Russell had been taken from Vinegar Bend to Mont gomery. their captors taking them through Mobile in the night time without calling on the sheriff or chief of police created quite a sensation yesterday, and there was much talk especially among the officers of the law and attorneys.
 'The general opinion Is that in effect the officers kidnapped the suspects. A re- porter interviewed a number of the lead they agree that the action of the Mont gOmery authorities was not right, for the following reasons:
 "Driscol and Russell are not yet con victs. therefore the Convict Board had no authority whatever over them. "The order sending them to Vinegar Bend was from the Probate Court; and the Convict Board Is not a higher tribunal than that; and it must be a higher tribu- nal that properly reverses the action of | the regular court.
 'The men protested in the presence of witnesses against being taken to Mont | gonlcry.

PILES.
Cured Quickly and Without Pain.

There are pile remedies without num- ber but there Is only one cure, and that is the Pyramid Pile Cure. which is in the form of a suppository and Is applied di- rectly to the seat of the trouble.
 Any physician will tell you that for the proper treatment of Piles nothing can compare with suppository. whereas the greater number of preparations that are offered to you for the treatment of this disease, are lotions. salves and ointments. Why? Because thev are not so expensive as a suppository, which is bound to con- tain more costly ingredients, and which requires special machinery to make it.; moreover. a suppository inserted up the rectum. comes in direct contact with the cause of the complaint, and no other form of treatment does so.
 Wallace Goodman, Hallerton, P. O. Canada. writes: II have had two surgical operations for piles and they were not a success: after using three boxes of Py- ramid Pile Cure I feel as though never had piles, and they have afflicted me for twenty years"
 B. H. Palmer, Windsor, Calf: After suffering from piles for fifteen years and trying different salves and ointments in vain, was completely cured by the Use of two fifty cent packages of Pyramid Pile Cure"
 These and thousands of similar letters go to show that piles can be cured. are cured. Cured to stay cured. Cured go they won't come back. Cured without cutting. Cured without danger. Cured without pain. Cured without detention from work. Cured without indelicate ex- aminations. Cured in privacy of home. Cured by a self-applied treatment. Cured with very little expense. Cured without the dread of publicity of waiting your turn at the surgeons office. Cured with out dangerous surgical operation. it's period of enforced invalidisn, tedious convalescence and heavy expense. You simply buy and apply a cheap and con venient remedy, 1t does the rest.
 All druggists sell Pyramid Pile Cure al fifty cents a package. and we urge al
 sufferers to write the Pyramid Drug Go. Marshall. Mich. for their lttle book oT

ADJUDGED BANKRUPT
DECREE AGAINST THE JENIFER
 IRON COMPANY.
Receiver McQueen Authorized by Court to Borrow Money and Pay Wagss-Report on
 Burkhalter 6 Co.

In the United States Court yesterday sitting in Chambers, Judge Thomas G. Jones rendered a decree adjudging the Jen fer Iron Company. against which an involuntary petition was filed some time ago, bankrupt
 Receiver W. S. Mcqueen, who has been operating the property in making pig iron, reported that it was inadvisable to sell at this time for cash as better prices could be had by selling on time. He was authorized to borrow S10.O00
 An order was also made authorizing the receiver to pay certain claims of wages accruing just prior to the bank ruptcy of the corporation.
 The report of Refert Trimble of Bir- mingham who was instructed to take evidence and report as to findings in the matter of Burkhalter & Co. of Birming- ham. was received. He finds the concern is Insolvent and had committed an act of bankruptcy.
 Judge Jones said to representative of The Advertiser that no action would be taken in the matter of Burkhalter Oc Co. for day or two in order to give inter. ested parties a chance to be heard.

More Explanations Of Course of Om-
 cials.
 Mobile, Dec. 29-(Special.) )-The so- called Kidnapping of Driscoll and Rus sell by the Montgomery officials con- tinues a topic of discussion here, not only in police and shrievalty circles, but among the legal lights.
 The Advertiser was eagerly sought this morning and the extensive report, with statements of the officers and prisoners were read. The finding of the steel saw is an enigma to the president of the Vinegar Bend Lumber Company, contrac- tors for Mobile County convicts, as he stated today that he was positive neither prisoner had one upon him when placed in the stockade and doubted his having 1t when he came out.
 Detective Lacey of the Police Depart ment denies the quoted statement of Captain Taylor that he went after At torney Parker. He says he was asked by the prisoners to do SC. but did not comply with the request It is learned that two reporters gave the information to the attorney.
 A careful investigation was made by your representative today. but he failed to learn when any one had sworn out papers with which to detain Driscoll and Russell here.
 The detective and policemen who went to the depot state they merely did so to hear anything the prisoners might say.
 Attorney J. J. Parker. who has been looking after the interests of the two men here will go to Montgomery tomorrow It is his purpose to make an attempt to have the two men sent back to Vinegar Bend by legal process.
 Detective Lacey 1t should be stated. misread The Advertiser. The report did not quote Captain Taylor as saying he Lacey. referred to habeas corpus pro- ceedings. No such intimation was made by Captain Taylor or published by The Advertiser.

0O0O00. Including the latter three places the Japanese commerce exceeds that of any country. The following figures of iin- ports and exports into Tientsin and Che- foo in 1901 indicate the predominance. of the Japanese: Japan, $4.0O,s92; Hongkonk. a, 446252 all other countries. $,6S5,7SS.
 "The same may be said of Japanese im- ports into Niuchwang, with the exception of the imports of cotton goods, in which business the Americans are at the head Imports from the United States, g, 946, ,500; from East Indies, $2,s57, 200; from Japan, s942 ssO.
 "On the other hand, Japan is leading Tn the business of exporting beans and bean cakes from Niuchwang, which average from 8. .535, 800 to A, 714,400 per annum.
 Upon the whole, the commerce of Ja- pan in Niuchwang is more than $11, 7S6,0O0 per annum.
 ''The shipping business is also in full swing with the commercial activity and the enterprise of the Japanese In 19Ol Niuchwang was visited by 261 Japanese steamers, with cargoes of 2O2, 2SO tons; 19z English steamers, with cargoes of 196. .2S3 tons; and steamers of other nationalities, with cargoes of 71,7A tons.
 The foregoing shows how great are the interests of Japan in Mallchuria. The latter country is of more consequence to Japan than Korea, and in the future Man churia, with her large natural wealth and with the larger productiveness of her pop ulation in comparison to Korea, will be- come an active purveyor of agricultural and mineral products for Japan and will supply many of the raw materials for her manufacturing establishments.
 Even now Japan has very large sums invested in Improvements in the port of Tsin-van-dao, with the intention of mak- ing this port tho basis of her commercial dealings with northern China and Man churia''

A German View.

The German view of the American iron and steel industry is contained in the current report of the German ImpScial office of the Interior. which is published as a bulletin by the Department of Com merce and Labor, as below:
 "A swamping of the German market by American cheap-price products would suppose that the American metallurgical industry can produce cheaper than the German industry, which is, however, not at all true, so far at least as iron and steel making Is concerned.
 Judging merely from the prices of ore. coal or coke, lime, cost of transportation and labor, the cost price of ten of Bes- senfer steel at Pittsburg. even to the Uni ted States Steel Corporation, does not fall below $12.50 to s13: the price Is about $15 for plants less favorably situated than the United States Steel Corporation with regard to coke, ore and transportation fa- cilities. Even in Alabama the cost per ton of cast iron can not, under existing conditions, go below $10 to $11. The cost of partially and totally finished steel pro- ducts is higher in proportion as the amount of labor embodied in the product increases. The larger the share of the total cost represented by labor the less chance the American metallurgical in- dustry has of competing with foreign products.
 Even assuming that the United States is going to enter into a period of business depression, that prices fall while the mills continue to run. and that, therefore, d part of the output will have to be dis posed of abroad, the American producers even then will have to sell at cost. Be- low these prices they can not go, since even in their own market, with prices on the down grade they would earn hardly sufficient to pay interest on their bonds, not to speak of dividends on their stock, for it is only owing to the extraordinary high-price level prevailing at present that the concerns, particularly the United States Steel Corporation, are able to pay interest and dividends, besides a surplus for improvements and repairs. With q decreased demand prices can not remain at their present height. When this result will be obtained the decreased business will reduce the output to such an extent that any further sacrifice of price in fa- vor of exportation Is not likely to be thought of
 Under present conditions, then. Ger many may look forward to exports of American products merely at cost, and as long as this cost remains what 1t is at present American exports to Germany seem hardly possible.
 In the case of pig iron, steel partially manufactured. and such manufactured products as rails, sheet iron beams, etc, a reduction of price would be very diffi- cult. since the share of the labor cost proper in the total cost Is exceedingly small.
