 The soundings, taken fifty miles off the Alaskan coast, and beyond, were made to a depth of 2,O6O feet, but they found no bottom. Next year. the report says. they will continue the ex- ploration of Beaufort sea, surveying the coast and making geological and ethnographical researches.

WILL HAVE OWN ENGINEERS.
Connecticut Company Plans to Do All
 Its Work Itself.

Under the management of the Con- nectieut company new policy with regard to the work of the civil engln- eers for the trolleys is being inaugu- rated which is of importance, as the large amount of work hitherto given to engineering firms throughout the state will be done by corps of engin- eers which the road is employing.
 Only a limited number of engineers were employed by the Consolidated road, and these men took charge of only local work. That to be done in outside districts like Meriden, Bridge port or Waterbury being done by local engineering firms. It is the plan to increase gradually the engineering de- partment now located in the Ford building.
 Engineers from here will go to all points throughout the state where the Connecticut company owns trolleys or are to build lines. This will result in a great saving to the company as the engineers about the state charge high prices for their occasional work for the railroad. The permanent corps of engineers will be much Jess expensive it is claimed by the officials of the road.

HEPBURN LAW EFFECTIVE
.G FITS FOR ATE0N
Little Disposition Shown by Railroads to Dis
 regard it.

The first year of the operation of the railroad rate regulation law, com- monly known as the Hepburn law ex- pired last week. Under this statute the interstate commerce commission has had the power to fix railway rates up- on complaint. Predictions that the law would be ineffective and the commis- sion powerless have been disproved. In
 place of 20 complaints, which was the average annual number under the pre- ceding law and in place of S1, which was the total for the year before the present law was passed, there have been over $50 complaints within the
 past year. Of these the commission has rendered decision in 91. In barely more than half of these cases the complaint has been sustained; in all
 but two of the rest the complaint has been dismissed; in those two a rehear- ing has been granted.
 This statement, however gives ne adequate idea of the far-reaching eff feet of the law In the first place, In the course of considering these com plaints, and as a result of investiga- tions carried on for the purpose of as- pertaining facts with regard to the financial operations of railways and
 the workings of safety devices, the commission has secured a vast amount ] of information which would have been otherwise unattainable. More than this,
 the effect of the law has been shown in actions taken by the railways with out any formal complaints, Indeed, the railways have, as a rule, shown little
 disposition to disregard the statute or
 to escape from It's provisions. Secre- tary Taft, in his speech at Columbus,
 declared that "there were filed with the interstate commerce commission more
 notices of reduced rates by the raIl-
 roads than ever had been filed in the
 previous twenty years of the life of the interstate commerce law" Besides
 all this, the commission has made a
 number of administrative rulings with
 out waiting for complaints, and, in particular, has put into effect the sys-
 tenn of accounting, uniform for all
 roads, which the new law authorized.

OPERATIVES WILL STAY GUT
QUINNEBAUG MILL STRIKE
Workmen Claim Extra Time is Required and Demand to
 See Alleged Poor Cloth.

Danielson, Sept. 12.-About two hun- dred employees of the Quinnebaug mills, who walked out to-day to- emphasize their grievances held a mass meeting this afternoon and voted to remain out until they were given satisfaction. The operatives claim that the starting bell has been rung from five to ten minutes before the scheduled starting time both at morning and noon. They say that the time card requires that they start work at half past six in the morning and at 1 o'cock in the afternoon but that the starting bell has been sounded about 6:20 and 12:5O respectively. They ask that they be required to work only fifty-eight hours a week, that they be allowed to see whatever cloth the company's claim is poor and for which they say they are fined, and also that Adela Gernier, an operative, who was discharged to-day be re-instated. Al committee of six, three women and three men was appointed to confer with Agent J. A. Atwood, of the com pany with a view to settling the 'diHl- culty. This committee is to report at a mass meeting which is to be held to- morrow afternoon at which time also it is expected a union organizer will bo present.
 The management of the mill states that it does not know why the opera tives walked out.

A "KNOCKERo '
Found on Many Tables.

People will ''slug" themselves with coffee and then hunt around for medi- cine to cure them of the trouble cof- fee produces, but they keep on drink ing coffee and making new trouble right along. That is, some people do. There are thoughtful people, however, and their number is increasing every month, who prefer good, sturdy health to sickness, and they leave off coffee that produces disease.
 Many people have to learn by hard knocks, that this is true and they get the knocks all right if they stick to coffee.
 A. s. c. woman says: For two years or more before leaving off coffee and beginning the use of Postum Food Cof- efe, my health became very much inn paired, as I discovered afterward, from coffee driking.

JEwELER DURANT.
Sends Notes to the Courier of His Trip
 in England.

A letter received from Jeweler l. II. G. Durant of this city, dated at East Fenichley, England, August 16, states that he would sail for home septem- Der 12 (yesterday) and that he had 1ourneyed among other places to the Isle of Wight where at ventnor he visited his mothers grave and where also as a boy he attended worship at the old church 45 years ago. To his surprise although 45 years had elaps- ed, he found that comparatively few changes had taken place and that he felt. therefore, quite at home there. He could name all the old places familiar to him in his boyhood and most of the old shopkeepers, While there he ad- dressed coastguardsman and pointed to a building said that was where he went to school 45 years ago. After ward when lad he had removed to Torpoint to reside The guardsman had himself lived there and recalled that MT. Durant was born there and on be- ing informed that MT. Durant's fatheS was a jeweler he at once told Mir. Durant that he knew his name and that he had well remembered his fath- CTS store, having been in the store lots of times. It appeared also that the guardsman had years ago worked for Mir Durant's uncle.
 MT. Durant ran up against several pleasant surprises while at the Isle of Wight and elsewhere, which recalled old days. At Croyden he visited his sister and niece, He was much in- terested in his rides out of London on double decked trolley cars which &C., commodated 96 passengers on the top or upper deck, and 36 on the main deck. Worthy of note also were the trolley poles which are all of fancy ironwork and tastefully painted; not at all unsightly as the poles used here. Mir Durant visited at Barnett, the tomb of Thackeray, the famous author and visited also the old church there which was built in 1O9O and is lit at the present time by candles.
