POWERFUL LITTLE ENGINE.
Mexican Invention Which Combines
Great Strength and Small Size.

An invention Of unusual interest, es-
pecially to mining men, is the Multi
phase rotary steam engine Just com
pIeted by the inventor, j. M Evans, at
the foundry of the Compania Industrial
Mexicana says a Chihuahua dispatch
This engine is of 500 horsepower and is
the largest Mr.. Evans has yet put up,
but it thoroughly demonstrates all the
superior points that are claimed, and in
a few days, when run long enough to be
smoothed down, the tests will all be
made. and then the company named
will go into the manufacture of the en-
gines in Mexico
This engine only weighs about four
and one-haIf tons, while a 500 horse
mower compound Corliss alongside of it
weighs no tons or twenty-five times as
much as the Evans engine. The former
occupies 1000 square feet of floor space
TO the latters about twenty. This en-
CINE can be built much lighter If neces-
sarv and Mr. Evans has the mining
men particularly interested, as he says
he can put up a twenty-five horsepower
engine so that it weighs less than 300
pounds and can be packed on a mule In
one piece
The engine is attracting much interest
and is evidently beyond the expert
mental stage, as Mr.. Evans has built
nine different ones from five to 100
horsepower A 5000, 900 company is or
ganized in the United States to manu-
facture them, a 900 company is
organized in England for the same pur-
bose. and the machine is patented in
thirteen different countries.

BROWNS GOOD RECORD.
Santa Fe Attorney Has Saved the
Company Some Big Damages.

Kansas City, Kan, Jan. 2O.-In 1896 G.
L. Brown became the attorney for the
Santa F'e here and since that time has
tried in every case in Cowley county in
which the company was a party or in
terested. During the time he has held
the position there have been cases filed
against the company amounting to s642,-
57.23. The company has paid out in judg-
ments and settlements of the cases the
comparatively insignificant sum of ST.
663. 03.
There are thirty-efght of these cases.
the largest amount paid to the plaintiff
in anyone of them being $296.30, to
Bridget Ireton, for a. loss of wheat by
There are three of these cases now
pending in the district
The largest amount claimed is found in
the case of Rock Creek township against
the company in which $35S, 900 was
claimed It was a tax case and was dis
missed. The same disposition was made
of the case of Cowley county VS.. the San
ia Fe This is d similar case and the
amount asked was $12S,000
The hardest fought case was Alexan-
der Shields VS.. the Santa Fe. He sued
for $4,000 and after the case had gone to
the supreme court couple of times he
was awarded a judgment for 1 cent.

TOUR OF WEST FOR PARKER
New York Man to Tell That Section
Who the Chief Judge Is.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 20-Just how
large bureau for the dissemination of
the Parker literature is working in
Albany at the present moment is a sub
ject of more than passing interest in
this city. OF course ex-senator David
B. Hill is in himself no inconsiderable
bureau, and he is working all the time,
as is his custom, following his own
silent, unobtrusive methods. Then. ex-
Lieut.. Gov. William F. Sheehan is
ubiquitous. Only last Thursday Judge
Parker had a consultation with these
political leaders at .Wolfert's Roost.
Just at present there is a we'll cir
culated rumor that. in addition to the
foregoing, N. o. flaming, a New York
newspaper man. is engaged on a mis-
sionary tour in the west. It seems that
the Parker people are somewhat dis
turbed by the fact that the first COM
ment they meet with when they sug-
gest their candidate is. 'Who is Par
kerr" To answer that question in the
pointed and concise manner of the
trained newspaper man is. it has been
earnestly affirmed here. the purpose OF
Mr.. Fanning's western trip.
One thing is certain. and that is that
within a brief time Mr. Tanning has
been seen at the local hotel where Chief
engaged in earnest conversation with
him. On the other hand, the fact is not
unknown that Mr.. flaming even in the
last few months has given evidence OF
litIcal matters of the Democratic stripe
as to desire to be present and part OF
the inner workings.
The declaration of a Tammany sena-
tor on the subject of the attitude of
Tammany and the suspicion with which
ParkerS friendship for ex-senator Hill
was viewed in the Wigwam, have caused
no little comment and some extremely
ingenious explanations on the part of
eagerly that it is only the effort of Tam
many to make people think they are
against Parker, because they realize that
the Democrats will not accept any man
of Mr. Murphys organization The left
handed compliment for Tammany, on
pend to carry this state: if he can car
ry it at all, is worthy of notice and has
not escaped the comment of Tammany
people themselves.
There is in all this a certain element
! of humor that the Republican leaders
here have not failed to appreciate. CHIEF
Judge Parker, according to the frank
must break away from ex-senator Hill
because the country is hostile to Hill
! On the other hand, on the assurance 81
Judge Parker'S friends, there is no hOpC
of his nomination unless TaInmany makes
a decent appearance, at least, of opposing
| him.
Where, then, is Parker?' inquired 8
well known Republican legislator today
| What a joyful task Mr.. Tanning has
before him in the west, in explaining how
Judge Parker is removed from both Hill
and Tammany just enough to be desira-
be in danger of the fraternal Democrat:
knitting system? Local rurnor has it that
Mr. Tanning is in the west. 1 should
think he would be at sea-.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE.
History of the st. Louis War Against
Ticket Scalpers.

In view of the various steps taken by
the st. Louis lines and the exposition
management to prohibit ticket brokers
from handling nontranSferable trans
portation in st. Louis. there is some
confusion in the public mind as to just
what has been effected in this direc-
ton.
For that reason Chairman Mcleod of
the Western Passenger association has
summarized the principal points to ed
ucate the travelling public on the war
fare which has been carried on against
the ticket brokers.
In December, 1902, permanent injunc-
lions were secured from Judge Wood
of the circuit court by. the Wabash,
Alton, Burlington and Missouri Pacific
roads, and later in the federal court by
the Illinois Central against certain bro
kerS restraining them from handling
nontransferable tickets of special form
issued on account of the Louisiana
Purchase exposition. Owing to the
many classes of tickets, such as mile
age, communication, excursion and SINH
lar forms, that will be used in doing
the large volume of Worlds fair bust
ness. it was concluded that broader
protection must be secured protecting
all these various forms of tickets, not
only those used for the exposition, but
for all future conventions in st. Louis.
So the Burlington, Alton, Missouri,
Kansas & Texas, Missouri Pacific, Iron
Mountain and Frisco roads, in June
ana july, lSUo, secured IN the circuit
court general temporary injunctionS
against practically all brokers in St.
Louis.
Temporary injunctions were granted
by the court from handling nontrans-
ferable signature mileage, excursion
and Communication tickets sold at reduc-
ed rates. On july 6 the brokers obtain
ed from Judge Valiant of the Missouri
supreme court a writ of prohibition
against the enforcement of these in
functions. On December "a the SUI
preme court handed down it's decision
disso1ving the writ of prohibition, thus
leaving the general temporary injunc
ton in effect. The relief by injunc-
lions thus far, while satisfactory to the
western and southwestern roads, how
ever, has not yet been completed by
eastern roads, leaving the protective
circle around st. Louis incomplete.
| If st. Louis roads are to make excur-
sion rates for the Worlds fair and for
means so much for St. Louis, passenger
officials contend that the scalping of
| these excursion rates by ST. Louis bro
kers must be stopped. To this end re-
| newed efforts were made by the
| Worlds fair people for the passage of
municipal ordinance prohibiting
scalperS from buying Or. selling nom
/ transferable mileage, excursion and
Communication tickets. The ordinance
suit of cooper alton of the house of del
! egateS and the upper house. together
with the exposition management, rep
resented by John ScnO~ers of the di-
rectory and Judge Franklin FerrisS of
| its legal department, thus ordinance has
passed both houses and mas been sign
ed by Acting Mayor ] L. Hornsby.

Shanghai correspondent announcing
that there was a continued deadlock in
connection with the affairs of the Han
kow-C Canton railway. The Belgians
were pressing for exclusive control of
the northern section and it had been
suggested that the entire American in
terest be bought out. The sharehold-
ers apparently were agreeable to this
proposition, but China declined to sane
ton any modification Of the contract to
permit such a solution
It was announced from Brussels De-
cember 20 that the United States and
Belgian interests in the Hankow- Canton
railroad had signed an agreement by
which these interests were to be sepa-
rated and the railway divided into two
sections, the Belgians to control the
northern section and the Americans the
southern section. The board of directors
was to be composed of Belgians and
Americans in equal proportions.

CHANGED THEIR MINDS.
Relatives of Woman Killed by Train
Will Sue the Frisco

Fort Scott, Kas., Jan. 20.-Attorneys
j. 1. Sheppard and W. F. Jackson today
filed before Clerk Martin of the district
court the notice precedent to the bring
ing of a suit against the Frisco rail-
road company for $4,000 damages for
the death of Mrs. Julia Fredericks
LumDkins. The deceased met death a
few evenings before Christmas at the
Frisco crossing on Sixth street. 1t was
supposed that her death was caused by
being struck by an incoming freight
train. Her body was discovered a few
moments later by parties passing by.
Mrs. Erederick's friends and relatives
at first decided that they would not in
stitute proceedings for damages. In
fact, they permitted the corpse to be
taken to Mt. Zion church and Rev. A.
d. Bright was about to begin the
funeral sermon, when the relatives got
together and decided that they would
postpone the funeral long enough to
hold an inquest. A jury was hastily
summoned and DR.. Brookins conducted
thu trial. The Jury returned the YER
dict that they believed the deceased
came 10 her death by being struck by
al incoming train over the st. Louis &
San Francisco road. The relatives seek
to recover allethat the Kansas statutes
will allow for death.

"PURE FOOD" SHOW
Results in Severe Falls for Two Mem
bers of Congress.

Washington Jan. 20.-There was a
pure food" catastrophe in the mem
bers' lobby of the house yesterday. Rep
resentative Mann of Illinois, who had
charge of the Hepburn pure food bill on
the floor of the house, fortified himself
with numerous samples of pure food and
adulterated connections, bottled and
canned, which he arranged on his desk as
ocular evidence to members for the ne
cessity of pure food legislation. In bring
ing these samples into the house ne
dropped a bottle of olive oil on the mar
BILE floor of the lobby. Immediately Gen.
Bingham of Pennsylvania, the father of
the house." came along the corridor and
slipped on the spot where the oil had
spread over the floor. His feet went out
from under him, and ne fell heavily. The
general was helped to his committee room
where it was found he was not injured.
In the meantime Chairman Cooper of the
Insular committee endeavored to navi-
gate the oiled marble with like result
Mr.. Cooper was famed from the fall BY
that time officers of the house roped off
the dangerous spot until the oil was
