LIKE THE THREE-cYLINDERs
Latest Idea In Locomotives Is An
nounced by Experts to Be Pro.
nouneed Success.

At the last annual convention of the
American Railway Master Mechanics
association Mr.. ). 8. Bell read paper
on the subject Of three-cylinder loco
motives, in which he gave particulars
regarding three of this type which
have been giving good service. The
three cylinders are placed on the same
horizontal plane, one between the
frame and other two exterior to the
frame. They have the same diameter,
1871 inches, and each has its own pis.
ton valve. They have been engaged
for several years in fast passenger SER
vice, where they have been doing very
satisfactory work. Their principal ad-
vantages are that they secure q uni
form turning moment, the cranks be-
ing placed at 120 degrees; they exert
greater tractive power, and they call
for a lower factor Of adhesion than
two-cylinder engines. They are easy
on rails and bridges; afford opportun-
ity for better balancing, and can be
operated on the simple. compound, or
triple-expansion MISUNDERSTANDING

OF poverty In Phillips street, Whitlane,
Salford. He Is afflicted with consump

At the end OF the last Matabele war
in 1895, the tribe was scattered. and
Lobengula came over to England with

MAKEs.coALING EASY MATTER
Modern Machinery Loads Tons Of Fuel
In Space of Only q Few

The coaling OF locomotives at large
terminaiE. where q great many engines
are dispatched, requires the handling
OF large amount Of coal. The mod
ern engine carries 16 tons-30, 900
pounds.
In the early days this coal was shov-
eled direct from cars. carried into en-
gines by hand In small ,two-bushel
boxes, or taken direct from mines ad-
Joining the main line. but since the
nearby coal deposits have been
worked out and the mines have been
located on spur tracks away from the
main line, coal chutes designed I'd de-
liver coal In from one to ten ton lots
on the engine tender have been erect
ed at convenient places, usually about
fifty miles apart.
Freight trains require coal about
every fifty miles, while passenger
trains usually run 100 miles more with.
out taking coal. In renewing the old
coaling plants or adapting them to
double track, the Wabash railroad is
erecting modern steel structures hav.
Ing 300 tons storage. and 80 arranged
as to deliver coal on either the main
tracks or passing tracks, or all, at the
same time. The coal Is dumped from
self-clearing cars into q concrete DIT,
where 1t runs by gravity into an ele-
vator having ton buckets, which are
hoisted by electricity. The whole az
rangement makes resourceful and
economical coaling plant, as an engine
can take ten tons of coal in as many
seconds, thus insuring the minimum
stoppages and avoidiSg delay to trains.

STATEMENT OF U. S. POLICY
Washington Sets Forth It's Attitude
as to Jap Manifeso
UNDERsTANDING on SITUATION
America Considers that ~ ~ Not the
object ot Nippon to seek
Territorial AEHrBudIsc-
mCnt

WASHINGTON. Aus e2.-Japau has
received from the United states a formal
declaration Of policy bearing on the dc
livery 10y Japan to Germany OF the ulti-
matum demanding tho surrender by the
latter country OF the territory Of Ntao
Chow.
The American governments attitude
was outlined in reply 90 assurances
which Foreign Minister Kato had given
to Ambassador Guthrie according to ud-
vices from Toxic, to tho effect that tho
integrity Of China would be preserved.
While rogrettinE that any differences
had arisen between Japan and Germany,
the United states pointed out that Il
must refrain from expressing any opinion
on the merits of the ultimatum. especially
since tho ultimatum might lead TO war
and It was the avowed policy Of this
government to maintain neutrality in
every phase of the European conflict
Tho Washington government too occa-
sion in a friendly way to place on record
its understanding of the situation as fol-
lows:
Tirst-Thst Japans purpose was not to
seek territorial aggrHndiZemCnt In china
SeCond-ThGt japan had promised to
restore tho territory Of kiuo Chow to
China, maintaining tho integrity ot that
republic, and aCtiuG only In accordance
with tho Anglo-lapancsc alliance, one Of
whose objects is tho preservation ot tho
commercial interests OF all powers In
China and the principle OF equal oppot-
tunity to all.
Third-Thst in case Of serious disorders
or disturbances in the interior Of China
growing out OF the unsettled state of at-
fairs I'm tho far east Japan, would, as n
matter Of course, consult tho United
States before taking any steps beyond
boundaries Of the territory of ktHo Chow.
This last procedure. II was pointed out to
Japan, follows In natural sequence tho
arrangement Consummated at the time ot
the Boxer rebellion between Japan and
tho United States, whereby the armed
forces Of this government were allied
with those Of other nations in the march
on Peking for tho safeguarding of Tor
cign legations and missions Baron
Chinda tho Japanese ambassador, has as
sured tho United states of the sincere
intention Of Japan 20 restore kiao Chow
to China. He Is confident also, that IN
case of any trouble In the interior OF
China the Toxic gnvornment would hc
glad to notify tho American government
Of any contemplated measure.
Tho Japanese ambassador is In constant
communication with hts government at
Toxic. but has learned nothing of any
reply from Germany to the ultimatum OF

ASKS REFERENDUM
ON TOLL QUESTION
Senator Borah Wants Vote on
Repeal Deferred Until Next
December.

Senator Borah os Idaho proposed 4
referendum On the question of tolls eI-
crnptions for American coastwise ships
through the Panama Canal in the SEN
ate this afternoon.
The Idaho Senator introduced a reso-
luton, which he asked to lie on the table
for the time beinS. in which he set forth
that the three political parties went be-
fore the voters on tolls exemptions plat
forms: that the three conGidates for the
Presidency supported free tolls. and in
dividually declared Tor free tolls: that It
was not deemed expc6ient in some guar
ters. notwithstanding pledges and plat
forms, to repeal free exemptions; that
national honor aEi the Fundamental
Principles Of government required good
faith to the electorate and the carrying
out of pledges to the people; and that
inasrnuch as An eleciion is 10 be held
next November, the vote on the repeal
bill be deferred until next December in
order thar tile question can be submitted
TO the people.
|. Senator Borah will address the Senate
in support Of the resolution
Senator OGorman will bring the re-
peal bill up for consideration today, 10
other business permits. The agricui-
tural appropriation bill was considered
early this afternoon. and this may In
terfere with the canal bill.
The correspondence and documents
which have been in the State Depart
ment for years relative to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, and which were sent
TO the Senate and made public by order
of the Foreign Relations Committee,
have been printed.
Little is disclosed that was not al
ready known, and in a general way the
material leaves the canal tolls contro-
versy where 1t was, SO far As the spe-
cific question of what the negotiator
had in mind regarding tolls Is. con-
cerned. 1t Is brought out that Senator
Lodge had an important hand In th-.
negotiations. He was then a member
Of the Foreign Relations Committee.

DEBTS OF THE STATES.

The Census Bureau finds that in
1912 the total gross debts Of the
States was s40a,O 100000. a figure so
low as to occasion some surprise.
Considerably more than half Of this
is charged against two States, Mas
sachusetts and New York; so that
the other forty-six States have ag-
gregate debts of less than 5000, ,00O,-
600.
Massachusetts has nominal State
debt of s117,0O0,000, but this in
large part represents State expendi-
lures in improving the metropolitan
region of Greater Boston, in which
there are two-score of towns and
cities. This debt, nominally State
obligation when issued, has been as
sumed by the district Immediately
benefited.
The fact that all the States to-
rether have a debt much less than
that of the city of New York, or of
the Federal Government, suggests,
among other things, that in general
State government has been reason
ally economical. In truth, Il has
keen too economical. The States
have come to expect the Federal
Treasury to finance all manner Of
things for them, and the Federal au-
thority has been too amiable. One
reason why the States amount to so
little in our system, why they are
being more and more overshadowed
by the Federal establishment, is that
the people in most States view with
jealous eye the addition of a hun
dred thousand to a State budget, but
give never a thought to a hundred
million-dollar mess of pork that Con-
gress sets forth. It's odd, but true,
that the extravagances of the State
capital seem so much nearer home TO
the people who must pay the bills AT
both places.
Pennsylvania, supposed to be the
worst governed State in the Union,
has no State debt; in fact, it had a
big surplus. The net average State
debt per capita was in 1880 s5.5s,
and in 1912 $3.50. In other words,
in that period, when the expenses of
Federal Government were increased
about three-fold, and when cities
generally were piling up the huge
debts under which most of them now
groan, the States were actually re-
ducing per capita Of debts.

ENGLISH GOLF CHAM
PIONSHIP.

The disappointing play of Mr..
Francis Ouimet, open golf champion
of the United States, on the English
links, where he has gone to compete
for the English title, was not entirely
unexpected. Mr.. Ouimet is little
more than a boy. He is playing on
strange courses, and it is the story of
most of our athletes that they need
time to become acclimated in Eng
land before they are at their best.
Golf is specially a game in which
the player must feel fit if he is to
DO himself justice. Unless Mr.. Oui-
met shows decided Improvement,
there is no hope for him against the
veterans of the English game. How
ever, it is too early to despair. If
one must feel fit to play golf well,
golfers also know that the reversal
Of form may come about with mirac-
ulous suddenness. One day the play
er finds himself unable TO hit a bal
loon," and the next the "feel of the
club" comes back and he stands over
The ball with the ease and confidence
that assure success; when the ball
finds the hole from impossible puts.
But if Ouimet fails, there are two
others upon whom the hope of this
country has centered with more as
surancc Of a run for its money.
they are jerome Travers and
Chick" Evans. Travers can always
be counted on to give a good account
Of himself unless he happens to be
"ntirely of his game, which seldom
happens. Evans is one of the most
i'rilliant golfers this country has pro-
1uced. Both are veterans, and with
hem are a half dozen other golfers

BEING ON THE SPOT.

Each day that passes without some
act that effectually blocks the efforts
of the representatives Of Brazil,
Chile, and Argentina to bring about
an understanding between this coun-
try and Mexico brightens hope that
they will ultimately succeed in their
undertaking. The difficulties are
very great, but diplomacy's business
is to reconcile irreconcila5le differ
ences.
Until we know what is the ire
ducible demand of the Wilson Ad-
ministration and the maximum that
Huerta and the constitutionalists are
prepared to yield there can he little
but guesswork as TO the outcome of
the negotiations. But matters look
infinitely brighter now than they did
a week ago. Our nationals are large

one of the gravest features of the

possible has been accomplished IN

war in every port without precipi-
tating an outburst that seemed GER
tain to sweep the whole CT Mexico

1t was the show of force that made

iery on Mexican soil. with REINFORCE
ments going forward as rapidly as
ships can carry them, that he will be
less amenable to reason.
A good many students of Mexican
conditions and some Of its leading
business men have been of the opin-
ion that a very large percentage OF
the people of Mexico would welcome
our assistance in bringing order out
of chaos. Whether or not these op-
timistic views have a sound basis,
nothing can alter the enormous ad-
vantage the United States now has
in being on the spot to emphasize the
determination that exists here to put
an end to anarchy in Mexico.
