Panama.

gton.-Eighty-five years old,
Senator Pettus of Alabama is aboard a
government boat making for the sea,
and for the first time in his eventful
life the aged and distinguished Ala
bamian will experience the varying
sensations and emotions that come to
those who buffet the billows of the
briny deep. Senator Pettus is men,
Der of the military affairs committee
and together with the other members
of the committee he will inspect the
fortifications along the South Atlantic
coast.
The fact that he had attained the
hoary age of 50 and had never been at
sea recalled to his mind another inter-
esting fact, viz; That he was 7S before
he ever rode in a sleigh.

HARTMAN MAKES CALL
SPENT SOME TIME IN OFFICE OF
COMMERCE COMMISSION.
TOUCHED ON MANY TOPICS

and Said Wooden Cars Must Be
RELOCATED to Background.

Washington, March Sc. II. Harri-
of the interstate commerce commits
sion Monday The visit was informal
and variety of topics were touched
upon during Mr.. Harriman's talk with
the commissioners. There was some
talk about the repair on the break
in the Colorado river, which Mr.. Har
riman explained to the commission,
referring particularly to the prompt
manner in which the work had been
done by the Southern Pacific railroad
Railway Equipment.
Questions of equipment for rail-
roads furnished an interesting
topic, Mr.. Hartman expressing
preference for the larger steel car
with a capacity of 100000 pounds in
place of the smaller cars, and espe-
cially those of wooden construction,
which, in his opinion, must be rele-
gated to the background
Increased Use of Electricity.
Mr.. Hartman is also inclined to
the opinion that there gradually will
be an increase in the use of electrici-
ty in railway transportation, and told
the commissioners he thought the
adoption of a six-foot gauge for rail-
roads would have been much better
for the country and the roads than
the feet Sh-inch standard gauge

taken at the Hartman hearing in
New York last week.
