NEW LOCOMOTIVE TESTED
HERE BY B. & o. RAILROAD
Makes rs Miles Per Hour and
Does Work of Two Engines

Keeping in step with the rapid
strides being made by railroads in the
improvement of locomotive designing,
to compete with bus and plane service,
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
now testing a high-speed locomotive
built at the Mount Glare shops in Bal
timore.
Built at Baltimore Shops
The new locomotive was designed
by George H. Emerson, chief of the
motive power department of the rail
road, and was built by the regular
shop force at Baltimore. 1t is known
as the vi type.
In tests made last week between
Cumberland and Washington, the To-
connective developed a speed of rs
miles per hour. Officials said this was
not the top speed of the new engine,
which has not been "let out" on it's
trial runs. Tests were also made be-
tween Cumberland and Grafton, W.
Va, with the locomotive hauling reg
ular passenger trains.
High Steam Pressure
The locomotive is now undergoing
tests between New Castle, Pa, and
Chicago. 1t was said that ten engines
of this type will be built, if the ex-
detrimental engine proves a success.
The new engine is no larger than
the ones already in passenger service,
but has larger wheels and a smaller
cylinder, which results in high pres
sure. 1t has water-tube boiler, an
innovation in locomotive design, and
is equipped with "booster" and au-
tomato stoker.
The present type engines have a
2714 inch cylinder, as compared with
the 21-inch cylinder on the new loco
motive, which generates steam pres
sure of $50 pounds. The engines now
in service have steam pressure of
225 pounds.
Cumberland railroad officials said
the new engine is similar to the P-1-D
type placed in service about two years
ago, but is faster and more powerful.
1t will haul ID passenger coaches on
the Western Division, where two To-
comotives are now used.

JACKSON AND ROOSEVELT

A speaker eulogizing President F..
D. Roosevelt recently compared the
President with Andrew Jackson. How
nearly was he right? Probably not
many people realize what such eulogy
means.
Andrew Jackson, the oldest retiring
President the United States ever had,
having left office eleven days before
his seventeen birthday, induced Con-
gress, after seven years of tireless eff
fort, to abolish the Omitted States
Bank" during his second administra-
ton. He said that this bank had fall
len into Dangerous" and "incompe-
tent political hands" who were using
it to "extend credit or to withhold
credit" at the expense of the public,
and as a political power" Today we
hear loud talk about setting up such
bank, and bill is now pending in
Congress to establish one.
jackson enjoyed the distinction of
pulling the United States Government
entirely out of debt, when during the
period of 1834-35-37 the Treasury re-
ported that the United States for the
first land incidentally the last) time
was entirely free from debt and car
ried a rather neat balance in the
Treasury. Today our Government is
spending at the rate of approximately
$1.25O, 100000 a month and will be
about $320O0,000,000 in the red by
June, 1885.
Jackson forced France to pay her
$4,000 debt to the United States
which had been owend since 1901, af-
ter administrations, one after an
other, had haggled with France over
the debt for twenty-five years. In
collecting the debt Jackson wore out
five American ministers to France,
finally taking the issue in hand per-
,nally and notifying that country

 Is Announcement

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. = The Government has disclosed plans to thwart wildcat speculation or cor ners in the nations food in the aftermath of the drought disaster.
 Perhaps the most potent weapon is the power under AAA to buy surpluses of farm commodities for future use thereby striking a blow at any attempt to kite prices be- cause of relative scarcity of food thus bought by the Government.
 The Government will distribute the purchased surpluses to the needy, or resell it through com mercial channels or shipped into the drought areas where needed.

appropriations made before March 26, 1894.
 The testimony of MT. Norcross, appearing on page 657 of the printed report of the hearings be- fore the subcommittee of the House Committee on Appropria- tions when the bill was before the Committee, shows that the ex- penditure of this sum of $350, 0,O00 does not by any means exhaust all of the appropriations heretofore made for expenditure on forest roads and trails in Alaska and that after this amount of $35O,OOO has been expended there still remains to the credit of Alaska from its apportionment of funds heretofore appropriated the sum of $204,476. All of this does not take into &C., count at all the appropriation for forest roads and trails included in the deficiency appropriation bill for the fiscal year 1885, ap- proved June 19, 1884.
