There is a system Of signals be
tween the operator at the alarm box
and the central station. permitting the
man at the box TO communicate with
the engineer at the central station,
making the system a sort of police
alarm as well as fire alarm.
Mr.. Pierce and Mr.. Gramm will in
stall a station at the railroad shops
similar to the one at the engine house,
so that when an alarm goes in the big
whistle ri the shops will also sound
the number of the box. The location
of the fire thus becomes apparent all
over the city. The bell at the city hall
will not be connected with the alarm
system for the present. A general
alarm will ring on the bell and be
sounded by the siren whistle in add
ton to the locating alarm.
AS soon as the new hose wagon ar

heated clash between Secretary Of
War Taft and Secretary of the Navy
Metcalf over the Chinese exclusion
regulations, which were being CON
sidered. Taft pointed out the dangers
of ~boycotts on all American goods il
the government vas too drastic on its
Chinese course. MctcaIl held that il
the law was that bad it should be
changed by congress, but that the
government should not wink at the

ter and even personal, until stopped
by the president, who is determined
that the Chinese shall nave fair treat-
ment whenever they apply for admis-
sion to this country. The executive
