Electricity VS.. Steam.
ON the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press
1t Is evident that the electric locomotive
Is no longer to have It's field of usefulness
confined to hauling trains through tunnels
or where the forced abolition Of smoke and
cinders makes such a course necessary. AL
ready has this form of motive power salts
factorily demonstrated its ability, the most
striking example possibly being In Balti-
more, where electric locomotives are used
for drawing trains through the tunnel which
passes under the city. That the plan Is re-
garded as success has been proved con-
cluSively by the fact that the Grand Trunk
railroad but a few days ago decided TO
equip Its tunnel under the st. Clair river
at Fort Huron in this fashion. while similar
power is being introduced at various other
places throughout the country.
Now. however. according to New York
advices. the New York Central railroad has
gone still further. and is having several
large electrical locomotives constructed on
plans prepared by commission of railroad
and electrical experts Each OF these ma
chimes Will weigh nearly 10000 pounds and
will possess an indicated horsepower of
100 to $500. making them considerably
stronger than the best locomotives now
used by the company.

INDIANS NOT STARVING.
Investigation Shows Pimas Amply
Provided For

A thorough investigation by the Interior
Department of the complaint recently made
to the President by delegation from the
the Pima Indians of California are on the
verge of starvation, reveals the fact that
the Indiars on the contrary, are amply
provided for. 1t was found that s27. 900 al
ready had been authorized for the relief of
the Pimas during this fiscal year.
Acting Secretary of the Interior Ryan
wired Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Jones, WHO happened to be at San Fran
cisco. to meet a representative of the Pres
byterian board at the Pima reservation.
The commissioner has telegraphed the de-
partment that he has returned from visit
to the Pimas. and adds:
There Is no more suffering there than
exists on nearly every reservation in the
southwest, owing to the severe drought dur
ing the last three years. Agent has ample
funds on hand to relieve any suffering"
The agent for the Pimas has wired as fol-
lows:
mo Indians are starving on Pima reser-
va ton Flour beef and wheat are issued
to three hundred unable to work. One dol
lar per day is paid to Indians who will
work Sufficient funds authorized for i'm
mediate relief. Nothing is required at pres
ent Twenty thousand dollars additional
will be required for the Pima reservation
after January 1, II drought continues"
The Interior Department recently in
structed its superintendent OF irrigation to
construct a system of wells to supply water
for irrigation purposes for the Indians. as
water from the river already had been d.
verified by the white settlers above the res
ervat!on.
