USE FOR INCLINED ELEVAToRA
English Port Has Four Labor Savers
in Operation,

The latest application Of the inclined
elevator, more commonly known as
the moving stairway, is found in a
freight elevator for carrying trunks,
mail bags and boxes between steam.
ers and wharves. This elevator, which
Is practically a gangplank and can be
shifted about, contains within itself
the entira apparatus, including the
electric motor.
Its floor, instead OF being composed
OF planks, is movable platform.
There are only four such elevators
now in use in the world, and these are
all at Dover, England. Steamship
men at this port are considering its
use here
Another use Of the -inclined elevator
Is in stores, from basement to side
walk. On 1t men with hand trucks
and with rolling boxes or baskets are
carried, as well as merchandise.
Another novel use for the inclined
elevator has been found in England, at
seaside resorts on its southern coast.
Here, in many places, the. beach runs
from high bluffs, from which visitors
mast descend by stairs to reach the
shore. At number Of these places
inclined elevators have been installed.

(continued from First page.)
to what shall be done with them,

to what shall be done with them,
 A considerable number of insurgents are known to be returning quietly to their homes in the province of Havana and in the eastern part of the province of Pinar del Rio. In the western part of the latter province the situation re- mains unchanged, Guerra knows noth- ing of the Montalvo order, and if he did it is altogether unlikely that it would affect his course materially. At present there is every reason for ex- pecting that Guerra will hold out for some time to come. The district in which he Is operating Is inhabited by liberals who are practically all tenta- tive, if not actize sympathizers with hilly fastnesses to which he retires nightly and from which 1t will be prac- tically impossible to rout him. A fav- orable feature of the situation in Pinar del Rio is that Guerra will not fight if he can help it. He intends, he says, to remain out indefinitaely to protest against the subservience of the Palma administration.
 The Associated Press is reliably ln- formed that Albert's force, the main in- surgent body, now in the province of Havana, amounts to 150 men and that there are not exceeding 100 more in small parties The eastern part of the province of Pinar del Rio is practically unprotected but there have been only petty depredations there by small bands. There Is some question whether the Santa Clara band calling them selves Medieta's party were actually commanded by the captured leader, but undoubtedly he was with them most of the time The Mantazas insurgents cut little figure, and eastern Cuba re- mains quiet.

FUN GALORE AT WHITE CITY

Pie-Eating Contests q Treat--Water-
 melon Contest or "Battle on the
 Rhine"
 The pie-eating contests at the White City yesterday caused cloudbursts of laughter. The visitors were simply ov- erwhelmed by the antics of the boys as they clumsily but speedily negotiated the homespun pies with their hands tied behind them. They were laugha- ble spectacles when they emerged from their Whorttleberries, peaches, apples, blackberries, etc. Some got more in their hair, eyelashes and faces than they did in their stomachs, but they did not mind this In the least Every boy ate his pie and relished it the more for the hard work.
 This afternoon and evening an aval- anche of merriment is assured in the seedless watermelon eating contest, which Manager Speck terms 'The Bat tie of the Rhine" As yesterday the hands of the contestants will be tied behind them. Each will be given one- half of 6 fine, juicy Georgia melon, outside of which they must locate themselves. No rule has been made against the interment of their nasal apparatus in the heap of crimson lu- ciousness, so each one can mold his face in the fruit at his pleasure.
 It would be a shame for any one to miss this fun.

NEW RAILROAD RATE
 LAW NOW IN EFFECT
Continued from First Page.)

I--. =.
 Forces of clerks from all express companies in the country have for the last few days been engaged here in the task of revising express rates to con- ply with the provision of the rate bill, but have been unabeto finish their task in time to file schedules with the interstate commerce commission before the bill became effective.
 From the new arrangement the public will reap no benefit. The rates will not be lowered. The rates of every com pany will be identical with those of ev- cry other.
 As a direct consequence of the provi- sions of the bill the Union Pacific con- pany has determined to install its own system of refrigerato rcars.
 Heretofore the Armour private car lines have had a monopoly of the busi- ness over the Union Pacific and South. ern Pacific with all the profitable Cali. fornia fruit trade
 The Union Pacific to-day opened bids for the construction of six thousand steel underbody refrigerator cars, and is likely to ask for bids for another lot soon.
 Washington, Aug. 27-Former senat or Cockrell, of the interstate commerc, commission, tonight, when asked re. garding tn attitude of the interstate | commerce commission in cases where railroads had not been able to complet, their schedules within the time pre- scribed under the new law, said the matter had not been considered by thu full commission, and nothing could bt said tonight as to what the commis- sion would do. Mir. Cockrell said eact would have to be considered on indi. vidual merits.
