Immediately entered into conversation
with the twain. The day was hot and
the escort had lost much sleep the
night before, SO that soon after the
train pulled out Of the Baltimore sta

"A waiter announced dinner In the
dining car ahead" but the young man
slept on, apparently lulled by the CON

OUR MACHINERY LEADS.
How It's Sale Could Be Increased in
France

Advices received at the State Depart
ment from Consul George H. Jackson, at
La Rochelle France, are to the effect that
the United States leads in competing with
foreign and domestic manufacture of
machinery there.
One great thing that hinders the develop
ment of our trade in machinery in Europe
is the effort of American exporters to in
duce the people to purchase engines which
are not fitted to their needs or to which
they are wholly unaccustomed.
American thrashers, reapers. binders and
mowers have a monopoly of this trade and
are being used more and more each day.
AS for locomotives the French railway
companies have found them satisfactory
and as economical when given all the work
they can do as the French engines. They
insisted that American manufacturers
should fashion their products so as to agree
with the requirements of the French law.
In many instances the American locomo-
tives had to be changed and often re-
distribution Of weight on the rails was
necessary. The CRATES have to be changed
also SO az to burn the coal in use upon
that particular railway system. These
changes made after the arrival of the To-
comotives, the consul says could be obvi-
ated by study on the part of the manu-
facturer.

the union station. The car was near the
rear end of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford train. which left New York at
II o'clock last night for Boston. When the
train reached here at 1 o'clock the sleeping
car was connected with a pipe which sup
plies the cars with gas and the gas supply
was turned on. Immediately afterward a
slight explosion was heard flames burst
out and the car filled with smoke. The

ed by the smoke made rush for the doors

guished and a hunt was made for the pas
sengers' valuables.

COTTON STILL BOOMING.
Shorts at Market Points Are Rushing
to Cover.

NEW ORLEANS, May 14.-On a wild
rumor and irregular opening in the cotton
market today the July options went to u,
selling q points up from the closing yes
terday. August advanced % points and
September H.
The advance was caused by sensational
reports from Liverpool where shorts
bought 10000 bales of spot at an advance
of 10 points. Local shorts became equally
frightened and eagerly bought every con-
tract thrown into the ring by the realiz-
ing long side. In spite of the heavy profit
taking of the bulls. prices were kept well
above the closing of yesterday through
out the morning, and with the stopping of
liquidation showed a disposition to climb
higher.
NEW YORK May 14.-All manner of
rumors were circulated during the early
advance in cotton today, which carried
May to 141, July to 1899 and August to
1867. 1t was said that the bull clique had
been caught heavily short of the summer
months and were dropping their May
profits in their efforts to cover. 1t ap-
peared that in the rush of yesterday. and
this morning the shorts had pretty thor
oughly covered and another result of the
advance was to attract actual cotton, and
this was said to be heading toward New
York from all directions, including Europe,
with shipments from Liverpool and Bre-
men reported. This and the enormous vol
ume of covering recently consummated nat
urally eased the situation somewhat and
while still very feverish the market at noon
was less active. with prices net unchanged
to 4 points higher on the near months and
to 4 points lower on the distant months.

ports

same period of the last fiscal year 1854 .516.-
SO7. showing an increase In year Of $110,-

ton by reason of the fact that they indi
cate that the prosperous conditions of the
country and the people are inducing an
enormous increase in imports. The United
States Is a liberal buyer abroad, as well as
being good seller of its own products.
Despite the rapid increase In imports, the
exports Of the country continue far in ex-
cess of the imports. The exports for April

same month last year 3lO9, 169, ,S73. For the
