ELEcTRIcITY VS.. STEAM.

For a number OF years the predic-
ton has been frequently made that
electricity would eventually replace
steam as the motive power Of trunk
line railroads. Many practical engin-
GERS are still of this opinion, basing
it on the changes that have been made
in suburban transportation since the
perfection of the electrical trolley.
Still, the time does not seem to be
close at hand when the steam locomo-
tives will be sent to the scrap heap.
They are abundantly in evidence now,
and are doing good service; and the
railroads are building more and more
of them.
Meanwhile some OF the great railway
systems are making progress in exper-
iments with electricity as an adjunct
to steam. The New York Central Rail-
road a few days ago tested one OF the
seventy electric locomotives that Il
has ordered 10 handle its passenger
traffic into and out of New York city.
This sample electric machine devel-
oped a speed OF sixty miles an hour
with nine heavy sleeping cars, and IN
one squirt ran 90 the rate OF seventy
miles an hour. In "A brush with the
regular steam oyer" Of the road. the
electric machine made considerably
greater speed than the steam machine.

AN ALI.-NIGHT RANK.

An innovation that is to be tried in
New York is an all-night bank. All
hours. both day and night. will be
banking hours" with it, It's doors
will never be closed, and relays of
clerks, cashiers and tellers will be
ready at all times to transact busi-
ness. 1t will be situated in the heart
of the hotel and theater district
through which the great night crowds
surge and where emergency needs for
money are apt to be most felt.
1t seems rather strange that an in
stitution of this kind has not been
established before, in the great city
with its immense floating population.
But night emergency demands for
money are not peculiar to New York.
They occur in every city. And when
ever man, with bank account, finds
himself Unexpectedly short Of money
after banking hours" he must de-
pend upon finding some personal or
business friend who is willing to cash
his check for him, or else must bor-
row of a friend to tide him over until
morning, If such accommodating per-
son can be found. And there can be
no doubt that much indiscreet borrow
ing and lending results from the in
abality to do business with banks of
evenings and nights.
II is the custom Of a very great
many, probably a majority, of en-
ployers of labor to pay off their help
late in the afternoon. after the DAYS
work is done. In the pockets OF too
many worlSingmen the pay envelopes
are both heavy and hot, hence they are
depleted before banking hours" ar
rive after pay day. The all-night bank
will afford an opportunity for such
workers TO put their wages away and
save them, and to remove from them
selves the temptation to spend more
than they can afford.
The complexities OF modern life make
large night population necessity
In every city and the army OF night
workers aid night travellers is steAdi-
ly becoming larger. Various other
kinds OF business have provided for
the night people, hence II seems mere
~ tn the line Of progress that the
banking business should do 40 too.

The investigation into the charges
against Federal Judge Swayne of Flor
ida seems to have greatly strength
ened the case against him. From the
evidence and the report of the Con-
gressional Committee, it appears that
Judge Swayne must have been under
the impression that railroad thrown
into a receivership under his jurisdic-
ton became, to all intents and pur-
poses, his private property, in so far
as making personal use of it
was concerned. 1t furthermore APP
pears that the Judge did not
keep very close tab on what
it cost him to live, but charged the
score to the government at the rate
of $40 per day, whatever the walters
checks might have shown. All things
considered, it looks at present as If
the judge would have to go.

The republic of Colombia, before the
secession of Panama. had issued a
large amount of bonds that are still
outstanding. The Colombian govern
ment thinks that Panama should as
sumo responsibility for a considerable
proportion of those bonds. Panama
has replied to Colombia that she is
willing to assume her proportion of
this debt, based on relative popula-
ton. But Colombia don't want to
have it that way. She thinks that
Panama, having received a large sum
for the canal concession, and being
sure of a considerable income in flu
ture, should assume liability for and
pay pretty nearly all of the bonds.
Colombia has made an appeal to the
President of the United States in the
matter. but it is not likely that she
will get great deal of satisfaction.

FACING BIG REVOLUTION.
Russian Government Likely to Have
Trouble at Home.

Russian Government Likely to Have
Trouble at Home.
Geneva, Feb 2O.-Russia is facing
a revolution of great magnitude, and
the uprising may come at any moment.
At the headquarters Of the central
revolutionary Russian committee last
evening it was stated that reliable ad-
vices received from St. Petersburg
show that everything is now ripe for
a far-reaching revolutionary move
ment. The men who have prepared
the ground have left nothing undone
to add to the general feeling of unrest
within the country and have seized the
defeats of Russian naval forces in the
far East as pretext for their agita-
ton.
At the word of fresh Russian re-
verse the trouble will be begun against
the government in all the principal
cities of the empire.
The revOlutionists are declared to be
we'll armed and equipped and to have
a well-nigh perfect organization, and
that numbered in the ranks are some
of the best known persons in Russia.
In addition thousands of students
are enrolled as members, and many of
the rank and file of the army and navy
have sworn allegiance to the movement

CUT OUT THE FAIR.

Said Russia will Not Exhibit at St.
LOuis---Japs Want Space.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 17.-Commis-
sioner General Alexandrovisky has Off
cially announced the abandonment of
the proposed participation of Russia
i'll the st. Louis exposition.
st. Louis, Feb. 17.-Upon the heels
OF the announcement from St. Peters
burg that Russia will abandn her pro-
posed exhibit at the Louisiana exposi-
ton, Hajima Ota, assistant commits
sioner from Japan, announced that ev-
cry foot of exhibit space that is given
up by Russia will be applied for by
Japan. Commissioner Ota says the
commission has ample exhibit material
either here or on the way from Japan
with which to fill the additional space.
In fact one of the difficulties that con-
fronted the commission from the first
was the question of not how large they
could make their exhibit, but of how
best to confine it within the space al
lotted.
AS no official confirmation of Rus
sia's action has reached the fair Off
Gals, the proposal of Commissioner Ota
can only be considered tentatively.

CENSORSHIP REMOVED.

Foreign News May Now he Freely
Sent From Russia.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 2O.-The Rus
sian government has abolished the GEN.
sorship on all news and other kilograms
going abroad, with the exception of
the ordinary war censorship during
hostilities. The lifting of the embar-
go, which has existed for generations,
on the free transmission Of news from
the Russian empire, came as direct
result of consideration of the subject
by the car himself, and in some re.
spects this abolition is regarded as the
most important act since the emanci-
patton of the serfs.
Under a regime allowing perfect
freedom to the foreign press it is be-
lieved that Russia will soon cease to
be constantly subject to underground
attack, and that she will see herself
through honest spectacles.
For years." said a prominent Off
cial to the Associated Press. "our
country has been the victim of every
imaginable SANDER and misrepresenta-
ton because it was known that tele-
grams addressed to foreign news sources
went through the hands of the Russian
censor. Any story, no matter how
baseless or exaggerated, that was sent
surreptitiously across the border, was
greedily accepted abroad as true, es-
pecially by Russophobes, because the
government would not put its official
stamp on it."

PORT ARTHUR BESEIGED.
Military Authorities Believe 1t viii
Surrender.

Military Authorities Believe 1t Will
Surrender.
Paris, Feb. 19.-An eminent military
authority connected with one of the
embassies said yesterday that Port Ar.
thur was practically besieged, and il
was a serious question whether this
would not compel either the abandon.
ment or the surrender of the fortress,
with its men and material The grounds
for this belief were stated to be as fol.
lows:
admiral Togo's ships, on watch
at the entrance of the port, prevent
ingress or egress, thus establishing a
virtual blockade and cutting off chances
of relief from seward. The Japanese
troops near Newchwang and other
points on the Liaotung peninsula are
able to interrupt the railroad forming
the line Of communication and sup
plies between Port Arthur and Hardin.
The result is the gradual investure of
Port Arthur within the Japanese mil
itary and naval lines. 1t will require
bold action on the part of the Rus
sian forces to prevent the final accom-
plishment of the investures and slow
reduction of Port Arthur.

ANOTHER ATTACK.
japanese Destroyers Asntn al
Work at Port Arthur..Re.
suits Indefinite.

Tokyo, Feb. 1.-Two more Russian
war vessels have been successfully tor
pedoed by the Japanese feet.
Tokyo, Feb. 17.-Admiral Togo has
made the report to the mikado of an
other engagement on Sunday night be-
tween part of his torpedo flotilla and
the Russian squadron at Port Arthur,
in which one ship of the enemy was
either disabled or destroyed.
He says that the attempt to attack
the ships was frustrated to degree by
the heavy weather and binding
snowstorm that prevailed at the time.
This destroyed the formation of a line
Of attack and separated the feet 80
that but two of the destroyers sue
ceeded in reaching the vicinity of the
Russian fleet.
These two, however, attacked indie
pendently, and while the absolute re-
suits have not been obtained, Admiral
Togo says that the effect was one to
further confuse and harass the Rus
slams.
The officer in command of one of
the japanese destroyers reports that he
torpedoed one warship with such force
that she was heeled over on her beam
ends and he thinks she was destroyed.
The land forts kept up sharp fight
after the attack was discovered until
the Japanese retired from range. It is
not known where the TORPEDO fotilla is
at the presnet time.
