Locomotive Tender which Railroad
Experts View With Favor.
Young Cornelius Vanderbilt. whose
locomotive firebox is now being adopt
cd by many Of the railroads Of the
country. has. according tn the New
York World. also invented and patent
ed Il new type Of locomotive tender.
1t looks entirely different from the
ordinary locomotive tender. The water
tank Is not rectangular. but cyIindric:'.
1t Is built Of steel one-Quarter OF III
inch thick and il eight feet in diamete:.
II twcnty-thrce feet long. 1t is SUI
ported on Il narrow frame. Under tho
middle Of the tank there is a plate
steel saddle. which supports the rear
n OF the coal hopper. which composes
the forward half Of the tender.
The coal hopper is Of the ordinary
rectangular form. but has a slipping
bottom SO arranged rs to- drop fuc.

Of cast iron. with steel tires. The
tender. light. weighs 1900 pounds.
When fully loaded the weight is G.
tons. or 100000 pounds. The Wander.
bilt tender will carry IA tons Of coal
and 1000 gallons Of water.
The railroad experts say the Wander.
bilt tender Of cylindrical form il the
strongest that can be devised. Its
transverse strength is SO great that,
although twenty-six feet long. It will
carry its load of twenty-nine tons OF
water without any center support
Consequently the under frame ran he
made lighter. The net saving in weight
is about seven and a half tons. An.
other advantage is the coal carried
next to the engine.

StOcssel Replies To Traduccrs.

LONDON, Feb. l6.--The correspon.
dent of the Standard gives an inter.
view with General Stoessel, denying
the charges of the Pekin correspon-
dent Of the Times concerning the sur.
render of Port Arthur and its defen.
sive condition. General Stoessel
emphatically declared that all the
public descriptions of the second line
of forts were purely imaginary. These
forts, he said. we're only temporary
defenses.
General Stoes7el further declared
that the strength of the garrison
never amounted to 5000 men. AT
the end of April, before the invest.
mem became total, the Russian
forces on the kwantung peninsula
We're only 1868. He adhered to the
original reasons given for the sur.
render, and throughout the interview
appeared bitter whenever the navy
was referred to.

of a message to be transmitted by tele-

given its proper number by the tcle-

which has been prepared under the au-

numbers are then transmitted by the
Morse alphabet, and, when received,
the message is translated back into the
Chinese or Japanese characters by
reference to a corresponding diction-
airy.

wards was presented to the governor
this afternoon by three women from
Cleveland, Ohio. The petition which
contains the signatures of pa, 600 men
and women of Ohio, is two miles long
and weighs so pounds. The delega-
ton argued that Mrs. Edwards sen.
tence ought to be committed because
she was not responsible for her crime
and that she killed her husband in
self-defense. The governor said that
the matter was out of his hands, but
promised to refer the petition to the

tains the signatures:of lawyers, min

British Parliament Opened.

LONDON, Feb. l4.-Parliament was
opened by King Edward today. The
sovereign read the speech from the
throne to the assembled lords and
commons in the upper chamber. The
king expressed the hope that the steps
to establish a representative constitu.
tion for the Trausvaal would result in
substantial progress toward the ulti-
mate goal of complete self-govern.
ment.
The belief is universal that this will
be the last session of the present par
lament. Even should the government
escape defeat it is thought that Pre-
mier Balfour will voluntarily dissolve
parliament in the autumn and take the
opinion on the fiscal and other ques.
tions now agitating the electors.

vote. 1t will now go to the senate,

that the state administration had end.

May Assess Heavy Fine.

NEW YORK, Feb. l5.-Au ordinance
has been adopted by the board of al
dermen allowing the city magistrates
to assess a fine of 1920 90 persons
found carrying concealed weapons.
The former penalty was $40 and has
little tendency, according to the pc.
lice, toward breaking up the habit.
The new ordinance empowers city mag.
istrates not only to impose the fine,
but to commit the carrier of heavier
weapons for six months. The ordin-
ance gives the police commissioners
power to issue permits for carrying
concealed weapons, as at present.
