A number of prominent railroad men
met at dinner in Philadelphia a rev

Underwood of the Erie and John r.

jocular remarks were made on the
ancient topic of the quaker city's de-

the cudgels, claiming that Philadei-

cities in the country, and backing up
his claim with an imposing array OF
figures. Mr.. Green heard MIN

NEW TYPE OF LOCOMOTIVE
THREE THOUSAND MILES WITH.
OUT A STOP. THE CAPACITY
WILL BURN OIL FOR FUEL
Technically Known as the Four.Stroke
Cycle-Will Drive over the Coun.
try at the Rate Of 100 Miles an Hour
and Break other Records.

Chicago, H., March 21.--Three thou.
sand miles without stop, and at the
rate of 100 miles or more an hour. is
the capacity of new type of locomo-
tive which has been ordered by the
Southern Pacific railroad. The loco
motive, or really power house on
wheels, is entirely different from any
thing now in use. The cost Of ope-
rating it will be less than onehalf the
cost of operating the present type of
steam engine. Fuel oil costing but a
few cents a gallon is the only fuel
that has to be purchased and there is
no necessity for erecting and main
tanning expensive water tanks or coal
chutes
The machine Is what is known as
the four stroke cycle There is a com
pressed air reservoir from which the
power is obtained for starting. This
gives the piston its first stroke, when it
takes in the air alone at atmospheric
pressure and temperature. The second
stroke congresses this air and raises
it to temperature of about 1000 de-
grees Fahrenheit. The third stroke
is what is known as the working
stroke. The oil is sprayed into the
hot air, the amount being regulated
by governors. During the first part
of this stroke the combustion Of this
oil is carried on at constant pres
sure for a period that is regulated by
the amount of oil sprayed. The Sec
ond part of the stroke is practically
an expansion, with transference of
heat, and the fourth stroke exhausts
the gases.

Presidents New "Monroeismv

The presidents argument is that the
supervision of the dominican debt is a
duty involved in our assertion of the
Monroe doctrine. But that is an asser-
ton which should not be accepted now
as a final Interpretation. If this Roose-
veltian Interpretation of "Monroeism"
be accepted as defining our future pol
Icy we must prepare for a series of
embarrassing experiences from which
we were free from the older under
standing. That understanding was
that, So long as foreign nations did not
seek TO recompense themselves in
American territory. we were not called
upon to concern ourselves with the
terms of settlement between them and

Whether the murder of Sergius is an
isolated crime or a part of a general
scheme, it is likely TO produce a pow
erful effect in Russia. Similar deeds
heretofore have certainly not advanced
the cause OF freedom. But the Rus
sian people appear to be in a more
dangerous mood than ever before. It
is difficult to understand. the situation
from a distance, or to reconcile the
conflicting testimony. 1t seems to be
reasonably clear. however, that the
bloodshed at st. Petersburg has opened
chasm between car and people
which will not easily be bridged. The
belief that the car wishes to be a true
father to all his subjects has been de-
stroyed, and loyalty to the throne is no
longer restraining impulse. The bit

JUSTICE FOR ALL

We publish elsewhere an article
which has received much attention in
neighboring state as bearing upon
the question Of railroad rate regula-
ton. 1t is full of facts and figures.
These are not made up for a purpose,
but are taken from the records. 1t is
worth while for each man to study
these for himself and form his own
conclusions.
The adjournment of congress gives
space for deliberatien on this most i'm
portant question. The people do not
want any injustice done. They do not
desire that the railroads should be
prosecuted, any more than that the
shipper should be wronged. What they
need ali the time is more light upon the
subject. They want to know just how
rates are related to the business of the
