INDUST RIAL
New Skysersper Limit.

In the opinion of Ernest Flagg. archi-
tect of the new Singer building at New
York. the tower of which is the highest
building In the world for occupation.
the probable limit of height for these
buildings in New York city will be
1000 feet, with a tower 100 feet
square, or nearly 400 feet higher than
the Singer building. Differing with
the president Of the Nkw York fire un-
derwriters, who recently warned the
public that there was danger Of a
great confagration in the upper stories
Of the tall buildings beyond the reach
Of existing fire fighting apparatus, Mr..
Flagg says that the only limit Is
financial practicabllity. He insists that
buildings of the type of the Singer are
the safest as regards roof top con-
f1agration because of the space about
the tower, which occupies only one
sixth Of the lot space. Were all the
skyscrapers constructed with the same
proportion of space around the upper
stories, he argues, the danger of a de-
structive fire in that upper region
other point of limitation to which Mr..
Flagg calls attention is the elevator
service. He says one haul elevators
can be constructed to cover 1000 feet,
but beyond that probably cannot be
made effective. Those in the Singer
building are Of a new type, known as
traction elevators, with the weight at

run was CIT knots, or 16 knots in ex-
cess of the highest previous record
made by the Deutschland in 1901.

Government Telegraph Losses.

The detailed financial statement for
the postoffice telegraphs, issued on
Tuesday, shows that for the third
year In succession the loss sustained
by the nation on the service has
amounted to more than million
pounds.
The receipts for the year were the
largest ever known, reaching a total Of
"a, 151,3T6.
A review covering thirty-seven years
is included in the return, and shows
that the total loss on the service during
that period has amounted to f14,2T1,-
S27.
About eight millions of this loss is
accounted for by capital expenditure,
but the remaining six and a half mil
lions is dead loss on the working of

A CHEAP LESSON.

New York Abandons Its Experiment In
Munioipa. Lighting.
About two years ago the city of
New York installed at a cost of $122,-
348 combined garbage incinerator
and electric light plant, the current
developed being used to light the Will
liamsburg bridge. The intention was
to effect saving over the cost of
lighting the bridge by contract, and
after the plant had been in operation
six months Commissioner Woodbury.
estimated that the saving amounted to
about 40 per cent.
It was therefore somewhat Of a sur
prise to those who were not aware Of
the real facts to learn that the lighting
plant had been shut down. The engi-
neers In charge frankly admit that the
plant has been run at q loss, and, al
though they are chary about giving
figures. the best information obtaina-
bic Is to the effect that the loss amount
ed to about $4,000 year as compared
with the cost by contract. In other
words, 1t cost the city with free fuel
about twice as much to light the
bridge as private company charges,
although the company has to buy its
fuel
1t Is fortunate for New York that 1t
made its electric lighting experiment
ON small scale, for IL 1t had under
taken to do oil its public lighting and

ton Of the working classes.
Strike Breakers Not Working.
Reports from Havana indicate that
the workmen who went to thatcity from
New York to break the railroad strike
have not gone to work. as Manager
Orr Of the United Railways claims
that all trains are running and 1t will
not be necessary to employ the New
York men. The service of the West
ern railway is said to be still seriously
affected.
Arbitration Plan Favored.
The arbitration committee of the
peace conference at The Hague has
voted In favor Of the obligatory arbi-
tration project. the vote standing 81 to
8. Germany and Austria were the
only important governments whose
delegates opposed the measure.
Taft Welcomed In China.
Secretary Taft and party reached
Shanghai, China, en- route to Manila,
Oct. 8, and a noticeably hearty recep-
ton was given them by the Chinese

Christian association Mr. Taft was ten
dered a reception by the Chinese resi-
dents In native garden, among his
hosts being several high officials and
prominent merchants representing
many of the guilds formerly in the
boycott movement against American
manufactures. and speeches of well
come were made by several Chinese
business men and a representative of
the viceroy. The secretary replied brief
ly and at the close of his remarks was
presented with handsome silver
punch bowl. In the evening the Amer
lean residents gave a banquet to Mr..
Taft, at which the foreign consuls and
many business men were present In
an address delivered at this banquet
the secretary referred to the deep in
terest Of the United States in the Chi
nese trade and the open door policy.
He also expressed much satisfaction In
the improvement of our relations with
China, result which he attributed
largely to the efforts of President
Roosevelt He also declared that the
American government did not intend
to sell the Philippines. adding that the
only alternative to the present arrange.
ment was independence.
King Edwards Deafness.
The fact that King Edward of Eng.
land is growing deaf has but recently
been made public. Attention has been
drawn to 1t by the recent delivery at
Buckingham palace Of a set of instru-
ments Of American manufacture for
overcoming the difficulty in measure.
These have been specially constructed
In the richest and most elaborate man
ner and are used in connection with
small electric batteries which may be

ments are said to be designed for the
use or the queen also. she having been
afflicted with deafness most of her life.

TEST WATER RIGHTS
Important Question in U. S.
Courts.

Spokane, Wash, Sept 19.-Al-
bert Allen of Spokane in an appeal to
the supreme court of the United
States in the case of r. Madison
against the Spokane Valley Land &
Water company, raises a question,
which, If endorsed by the federal
Judiciary means that riparian and
water rights are absolutely divorced
from the ownership of the land. He
contends that these are governed sole
ly by state and federal laws for the
benefit of the whole public and point
out that by an act adopted in 1877
congress reserved water rights from
all land patents. He asserts also that
no owner of land has the right to di-
vert water from the Auditing stream
to irrigate his land unless he first
complies with the state laws as to the
filing of a claim and formal applica.
tion for the water right.

as to whether or not 1t conforms to
the enabling act of congress and the
constitution of the United States.
In the enabling act, congress pro-
vided for prohibition in the Indian
Territory for 81 years from January

voted on today applies the same pro-
vision to the Oklahoma side Of the

probable, state wide prohibition will
be part of the constitution for 81
years, and at the end of that period
will remain in force indefinitely un.
