COTTON PAYMENTS
FURTHER DELAYED
British Government Issues State
ment Explaining Nature OF
Complications.

London. May 27.-The Foreign Once
issued q statement to-day pointing out
that the delay in the payment by the
government for cotton purchased 's due
TO the fact that the representatives OF
the cotton owners are unable 10 make
their claims a. this time. The state
men, explains that there are also other
complica.ions. There will be much ne
,o,;ation over the actual prices for the
cotton which the government mas pur-
chased instead Of permitting II 20 be
shippcd 10 the neutral countries 70
which Il was originally destined.
The owners Will want the prices
which they would get Il the shipments
went 20 their destinations. 4hIs would
be inst about double the market prices
here. and the difference would proD =
ably amount 10 some millions OF dol
lars. -,
While most anxious 20 satisfy all
claims as promptly as possible, says
the statement issued by the Foreign
once. 81 is Obvious that the process
OF arriving at a speedy settlement Is
DELAYED by the necessity OF estaDllsh

Loud-Speaking Telephones.
American.

Several railroads in this country
now use the telephone in dispatching
trains, instead of the telegraph. Most
of the operators wear head tele-
phone-an apparatus that holds the
receiver constantly at the ear. The
arrangement has one serious draw
back: When there are thunderstorms
in the vicinity, the operator hears all
sorts of annoying sounds, and even
runs some risk of being injured by a
sudden shock. To avoid the difficulty,
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
railroad has installed loud-speaking
telephones on the train-dispatching.
lines. The receiver of the loud-speaking
instrument is more sensitive that that
of the ordinary telephone, and it has
large horn, somewhat like phono-
graph horn. The instrument stands
on or near the desk of the dispatcher
The telephone transmitter also has a
very large mouthpiece, into which the
operator can speak when some dis
lance away. A message sent by tele-
phone from main office is repeated
by all the loud-speaking telephone
transmitters on the line, and can be
heard distinctly by persons Is feet

his place, and begins his training by
cultivating habits of silence and check

"Well," said w. G. Robinson, who
had been running a locomotive since
1879, when he had the run from Bay
ard to Philadelphia on No. "a, Il once
had a run on the West Shore with a
freight down from Albany to New
York. There was another freighter
behind us, 35 cars loaded with below
ing cattle. She kept her distance all
the way down from the capital, al
ways a block behind us, slowing up
when she came to the downhill
stretches, keeping her regular dis
lance on the level. And she kept
clear for IA miles, and when we got
to the Jersey terminal she hit our
caboose square in the middle. The
most careful man hits something
sometimes"
"a man can be careful" suggested
someone with large peaked cap who
had just come in, "but those that are
under hims got to be careful, too.
II was on a southern run once,
through the palmetto country, and the
road was short of firemen, so we got
a big, husky darby, who had been a
coal HEAVIER, to fire on the run from
Grcenville to the sea.

the coal to the best advantage, but
there was one thing in particular that
l impressed upon the swarthy son of
Ethiop.
"Keep the pointer of the steam
gauge always toward me-. said as
we started out for the long run.
Eyes, sah, said Rufus, and he was
right willing and nearly worked off
his round, perspiring head, but to no
avail. The pointer leaned to the right,
and despite the shovels full of coal
that he heaved into the fire it would
scarcely bulge.
'The obstacle was too hard for Ru-
fus to overcome. He should have been
fireman on an all downhill road on
the run to the bottom.
He ran over to me and yelled into
my ear, I spec, sab, if you want the
pointer as you said, we bettah sit
ovah on de oder side, sah.
Il took look at the steam gauge
pointer with Rufus standing by, when
it suddenly swerved in the direction
toward me. Rufus marveled at its
obedience. But it was very simple.
