UNABLE To
HANDLE
FREIGHT

Pittsburg. Pa, Nov 25.-Six miles OF
freight cars loaded with products OF the
mills in the lower Monongahela valley
block ~ yards of the Pittsburg. Vir-
ginia and Charleston railroad at the
Homestead plant and hundreds OF other
cars are on tracks at other mills awaiting
shipment
While the congestion Is not complete
and some freight Is being moved. the
production has reached that point where
the railways are seriously handicapped
IN the way Of motive power. Efforts
were made yesterday to clear the block
ade, but IL was impossible to send out
anything but small proportion of freight
awaiting shipment. There is also a Sc
rious shortage Of cars.
The congestion has reached that point
where officials of the mills face a prob
able suspension until relief appears.
Yards leading I'm and out of the mills
are filled with cars that should have
been moved days ago. while the plants
have been keeping up production AS n
result the shipping yards at Homestead
and Braddock are piled with finished
product that should have been loaded
and outbound over week ago
The same condition exists at the iOu-
oJesne plants and the big yards in the
vi-inity OF oliver Hollow are filled with
loaded cars.

Planning a Faster Torpedo.

A dispatch from Elizabeth. N. J., says:
Lieut.. N. j. Happiness new torpedo is at
present in the Crescent shipyard, Eliza
bethport, where new engines of higher
power are being installed. The develop
ment of the hydro-carbon engine through
the greater requirements of speed and
endurance in the auto boat and automo-
bile car has made it possible to take out
the heavier weights of storage battery and
motor and give to this torpedo the original
speed contemplated Up to the present
time lack of speed has been a serious draw
back. He is at present engaged on detailel
drawings of a controlled torpedo, which
will carry two charges. to be fired in sue
cession or simultaneously, according to the
requirements of the actual explosive neces-
sary to attack and destroy successfully the
under water body of cruiser or battle
ship. ~
The principle of the HaIpfrle torpedo is
that the actual explosive charge, instead of
being carried in the end of the torpedo, is
contained in an explosive case, placed in a
diagonal channel through the hull which
allows its Independent ejectment to the
front and downward upon meeting pro-
jecting net or a vessels hull SorSat 7the will
of the operator, in case of capture or for
countermining
The torpedo carries within itself spool
of about five miles of fine insulated cable
about the size of an ordinary ;shoestring.
This cable contains eight Wfress. and is
wound on reel Inside of the torpedo, and
is laid in the same manner as a cable ship
drops her cable on the bottom Thus con-
slant communication is kent up between
the operator and the torped5 until the
entire cable is unwound. The 4orIiedo, it is
said, carries within itself sufficient power
to run fifty miles without refiling its fuel
tanks.

"TIFs ON THE DECISION"
What Speculative Wall Street Knows OF
Supreme Courts Mind.

From the New York Evening Post.
week or so ago the head of large
stock exchange house was informed by one
of the numerous hangers-on of the Capitol
at Washington that he would give him the
Northern Securities decision in advance for
$500, and would return the money if the de-
cision did not turn out as heSsaid. This
tickled the brokers sense of fItimor; but
he replied with beseeming gravity: Don
you think l could do as much all by my
self?'' Last Thursday however, the same
broker heard from an accredited agent OF
his own. 1t was the day when Secretary
Shaw called on the depository banks for the
Panama money, and then, within two
hours, withdrew the call. Word came at
once from the Washington expert: After
issuing call Secretary asked Supreme Court
for intmation when decision would be
handed down, explaining important fiscal
operation pending, which might be dis
turbed by the decision. Supreme Court
limited decision next Monday, hence call on
banks postponed
piece of circumst antial evidence, and it
was not Wall streets way to interrupt the
flow of thought by rude questions as to why
Secretary Shaw did not pump the SUI
preme Court before issuing his first circu-
lar to the banks. 1t is not in the least
probable that the Northern Securities decf-
sion will leak Nevertheless, one or
two of the courts past decisions have be-
come known beforehand. In at least one
instance an aged and decrepit justice had
the failing of talking too freely out of
court, and let the cat out of the bag by so
doing. In another case the unwilling cul-
prit is believed to have been a certain as
sociate justice who had the habit of read
ing his opinions to his WIFE The case was
important and at one of Washington's nu-
merous afternoon receptions the wife OF
another justice innocently asked the lady
how she supposed the case would go. No
woman would have refused under such cir
cumstances to say what she knew, and
directly beside them, during the interview,
stood a third woman, who promptly sold
the valuable secret to Wall street

Alleged Prisoner Escapes Extradition.

This was the purport of a decision handed

sultation with Attorney General Mulfan and

Gov. Cummins says that the Iowa law viii
have to be amended in this respect, and he
will send special message 10 the legis-
lature recommending such change In his
of the kind ever raised in Iowa, the gov
ernor says: Mrs Dye was not in South
Dakota, and therefore could not have fled
from that state. / regret this conclusion,
because if Mrs. Dye is guilty of murder she
must be tried for that offense in South Da-
kota or not at all, unless the statute be
changed

Mr.. Straus has donated a sterilizing and

Clara Barton and the National Red Cross
Society to obtain the recognition of auxil-

The statement, often made, that while

to be untrue. and it was declared that if
the auxiliarieS were formed the proper
recognition could be obtained, forcibly if
need be.
The speakers asked that those at the

nation of auxiliaries for rendering first
aid to the injured by forming ambulance
corps and receiving instruction as to
proper action until the arrival of physi
clan, and asked that $500 members be en-
rolled in this state.
