THURSDAY, JANUARY 14,1897.
Tin! Quay people are scattering their
detective story broadcast all over the
state—but what of it? There are detec
tives in every town of any sue in the
state who can put up a job on any man
and yet whose oath would not be belie\ -
ed by ten out of twelve of their neigh
bors.
The Electoral College.
The Presidential Electors of all the
States met at their respective capitals on
Tuesday and cast their votes and these
were taken to Washington by members
selected for that purpose. The electors
of this state met at Harrisburg. Leonard
Myers, of Philadelphia was selected to
preside and made a speech.
Gov. Hastings was sent for, and he
made another speech. Each elector cast
his vote for McKinley and Hotwt, after
writing his own name on the back of the
ballot. Win. Witherow, of Pittsburg
was selected to take the vote to Wash
ington, and deliver it to the \ ice Presi
dent.
The College was in session for several
hours, and among other things, talked
about the state candidates for this year
for Treasurer and Auditor General.
Our member Mr. E. E. Abrams was
present, and secured the endorsement of
the College for U. S. Consul at Bermuda.
Wanamaker's Worthy Words.
Just before the Senatorial caucus met
in Harrisburg on the evening of the sth.
inst Mr. Wanamaker addressed a large
and enthusiastic meeting at the head
quarters of the Business Men's League.
In his speech he said:
"I came over to these headquarters to
look iritp the faces of the friends and
members of the Legislature who may be
present to give thanks to all who are in
terested with me in this Senatorial con
test. . .
"The friendship, good opinion, and fi
dlity to principle of many of my fellow
countrymen is a satisfaction to me that
will be unforgetablc. We are Republicans,
not fighting outside of our party, but
standing squarely within its lines strug- j
gling for self-respecting standing room.
'■'lt seems as if a lease to Pennsylvania
had been handed over by some one, as if
it were a lease to a farm that earned
with it a million voters as if they were
Irish tenants. The sins of our fathers
have come down to their children, but
we are asking *o-day to see who signed
or sealed the lease to our servitude.
"We are fighting for freedom as the
Irish patriots are fighting for home rule,
and for liberty ana manhood. It is a
sturdy battle and a steady one. There are
men glad to be in the front of it and
that mean to stay by it, and shield those
who have courage enough to defy all
kinds ot threatenings or blandishments.
There are some to be sure with but one
eye that can see only office and place
and others with but one ear that can
hear only promises, but many of us have
found true comradeship.
"We are on the eve of a revolution in
this State —not against the party but with
in it. No man that cares for me will build
factional fires or stir factional strife.
I beg each man not to bolt a caucus, but
to be enough of a man to put himself on
record for a better system of politics.
"The bugle note is sounding for volun
teers in every county. The qaestiou is
being asked, what will come of this fight
when the senatorial question is decided.
I wish to say that the business men, and
by the business men I mean all men who
work at the honest labor of the plough,
or loom, or in the workshop or mine, the
business men who have entered upon the
organization of Philadelphia have made
T a solemn compact with each other to
stand together permanently for service
in good politics until this State is redeem-
for the people's will in picking out their
representatives. It is a protest against
sudden springing of candidntes at the
last moment —against collaring a man to
serve a boss without regard to what the
people want.
"We shall not buy elections or we
would have bought the votes offered to
day; we shall not reverse the principles
of our lives to carry out the people's
will if it must degrade the manhood of
our fellow citizens who have been sent to
represent the people. The cry of 'Stop
thief !' is an old trick that has been
heard in this campaign from people
whose record is publicly known through
out a dozen years.
"It is often much harder to fight and
sacrifice than it is to keep quiet and not
grumble, but it is worth something to
every man to show what kind of mettle
there is in him. I bid you God speed in
the hope of better politics, prosperous
times, and the victory of the ideas and
principles we represent.
QUAY is going to Florida next week
and Cameron is in South Carolina. He

he would be back,
Harrisburg.
The legislature will re-convene next
Monday and according to the general
talk there, Speaker Boyer will have very
troublous times iu making up his com
mittees in order to fulfill even a small
number of the promises of good places
made by Quay during the recent sena
torial conflict. A member said that
about every man who voted for Penrose
was promised a place in any committee
he"chose; while the committee chairman
ships were promised several times ' over.
.As usual there wi'l be an avalanche of
bills in both houses the first week of the
session There are about 120 new mem
bers and nearly all of them have from
one to a dozen measures ready to be piled
on the clerks desks.

A Retrospect of The Year
1396.
It will be pardonable to take a raj.i»l
glance at the international affairs of tb e
past year, before entering into a detailed
recapitulation of the scientific achieve
ments which hare marked its progress;
and as a journal devoted to the arts of
peace wo cote with deep satisfaction that
whereas the opening of the year was mark
ed bv a widespread international distrust
! and jealousy, and the gathering of omi
nous war clouds, its close finds the politi
cal sky growing clear, a more reasonable
temper of tolerance and forbearance mani
festing itself, and, with the exception oi
throe widely separated corners of the earth
a prevailing and apparently long to be
continued peace established. With the
Venezuelan scare replaced by the prospect
of a permanent peace tribunal; jwith En
gland, France and Russia united in the
effort to bring abont retorms in the East;
with the Boer government promising con
cesssions to the foreign element in the
Transvaal; with a satisfactory treaty con
cluded between Italy and Abyssinia and
the hostages returned —the prospects of
peace are certainly brighter now than in
the opening days of the year which has
just drawn to a close. The three existing
wars are attendant on tbe struggle of
Spain to hold what she has in Cuba and
Philippines, and ot England to reconquer
the Soudan.
It is encouraging to note that in the
industrial work there is evidence of a
marked revival of trads, which has been
felt in every quarter ot the globe, and in
this respect is as widespread as the grad
ual depression which commenced in 1891.
We were the last nation to feel the de
cline, and we have been among the last to
ebow signs of recovery. With the open
ing of the year however, we may congrat
ulate ourselves that trade is thoroughly
convalescent, and there is every reason to
look for a prosperity which will be perma
nent, because it is more gradual in its re
turn, and comes in a natural course. One
of the most notable events of the year
has been the astonishing development of
Japan, whose victory over her traditional
eneuy seems to have awoke in her a spirit
ot aggressive ambition, which is showing
itself in her evident determination to take
her place as one of tbe leading nations of
tho world.
It was hoped when the Chinese states
man and ambassador, Li lluog Chang,
made his tour through the western world
at the the time of the coronation of the
Czar of Russia, that bis return to China
would be marked by a similar activity in
the ancient empire. There is little doubt
but what Li Hung Chang himself was
earnestly in favor of introducing modern
improvement and industries. The tidings
however, that soon alter his arrival he had
been again degraded stows that tbe cc
eervative party is yet all powerful. _ Tbe
awakening of China seems to be indefinite
ly postppned.
' Thß most notable event in the Held ot
engineering was the opening of the river
Danube to navigation. This event formed
part of tbe millennial festivities in Hun
gary, and as such took ranfc with tb« grea l
exposition at Buda-Pesth. The undertak
ing was intrusted to Hungary by tbe trea
ty of Berlin, 1878, and work was com
menced in 1890 and completed on the; las
day of 1895. The blasting operations
covered a distance ot sixty miles and in
volved tho removal of 1,635,000 cubic yds
of material, 915,600 ol which were exca
vated under water. Niae thousand work
men were continually employed and the
total cost was $10,000,000. Previous to
the opening of the Iron Gates five feet
was the limit of draught for river steamers
for a large part of the year. Tbe
canal now affords an unobstructed outle?
from Vienna to the sea for boats drawing
ten feet of water. The Nicaraguan Canal
Company states in its annual report to
the Secretary of the Interior that no work
has been done since Austist, 1893 It;
rival the Panama <'anal, is almost equal
ly inert, a small force being employed
merely to fulfill charter obligations U
is with pleasure we turn to the Chicago
Drainage Canal, which is pushcu
with commendable energy. Apart from
its magnitude, this wojk is remarkable tor
the magnificent excavating machinery
which it has callod into esistanee and the
novel methods of handling material which
are employed. Tfce preliminary opera
tions connected with tbe great Simpion
Tunnel through the Alps are under way,
and the _lact_that monuruepta£ o work,
ian governments is a pledge ot
its vigorous prosecution, In this country
we have seen the completion of the grea.
dry dock at Port Orchard, 675 teet l"ng
and a similar structure at. the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, with a length of 670 feet, is
within measurablo distance of completion.
Work has been carried on without inter
ruption on the Croton River Dam, and
this massive structure is therefore, nearci
completion by one more out of the total
thrirteen ytars that will have been con
sumed in its erection, Work has been
commenced during tbe year tbe new
East River Suspension Bridge, New York.
This structure will rank as the second
longest railroad span in the world, the
clear length between towers being 1,000
feet. Itwilloarry six lines of railroad
track, two roadways, and two lootwalks
and will in every way except that of beau
ty, eclipse the oxisting iew Yotk and
Brooklyn Bridge. Mention shoald be
made of the completion of the great C'as
cade Locks on the Columbia River Oregon
whereby a vast area of the interior of the
State is opened up to river nav-gation, of
the progress of the great look tl tbe new
Imperial Harbor of Bremerhaven, tad ot
the extensive works at Darry Docks, En
gland.
In the wide field of transportation, tho
most notable undertaking is of course the
great Siberian Railway. Work has beeu
pushed so vigorously that the line will
soon reach Irkutsk, an event which will
mark the completion of the entire west
em, and a large part - of the transconii
neutal, line. At the prcsont rate of con
struction, the line can be completed in
1898. Considerable activity has been
sho tvn in railroad building in Southeast
ern Africa, and the Congo Railroad is
about' half completed. Iu tbe United
States, 1,803 miies only were built li.;i.
year, a small figure in comparison with
those ol" previous years; but it must bo
borne in mind that a vast amount of
work has been done iu the improvement
of roadbed and rolling stock. The past
year has not been marked by any such
spectacular railroad runs as distinguished
its predecessor; but there has been a tend
ency to accelerate tbo running speed of
the average train. This has been render
ed possible by tbe improved condition of
the track and the ever increasing weight
and power of the engines. The favorite
type of locomotive for fast passenger traf
fic, if we may"Judgo from the recent ex
amples, has cylinders 19 to 20 inches dia
meter by 24 to 26 inches stroke; 180 to 200
pounds of steam; drivers, CJ to 7 feet in
diameter, and about 2,000 square feet of
heating surface.
Electric traction Uas continued to make
steady progress during the year. Its ulti
mate application to the trunk railroads
has been oioupht a step nearer by the ex
cellent results obtained during tbe year
on the Nantosket branch of tho New
Haven road, which have been so good
that tbe company has determined to la>
a third rati on other brancues of its sys
tem. Of tha attempt to apply electric
traction to tho raain lines by the builders
ot tbe Hoitniunn locomotive, it can only
be said that it it proves to bo successful
it will be in flat contradiction to the com
monly accepted principles of the conver
sion of energy. The company claims t >
bave been so encouraged by results that
they are building laiger and mora power
iul machines, The successful operation
of the Lenox Avenue underground trolly
linos in New York City during tho su'iars
of last winter and the determination ol
the company to put in the same syste-H on
forty mile* of their horse car liufls brings
the day a litlte nearer when overhead
wirfs will b& abolished from our streets
The yaar has seen the opening ot the
Buda-Ptwtb elctric underground toad in
Europe, unci in this country the Boston
Electric Subway ,has pro£r*™ed
Uiy. The deep underground electric tail
ways of London have proved so SICCMS
lul thai several new schemes are in pro

tion to elevators, motor carriages, tho

tillery, to various household uses and a
multitude of other purposes.
Compressed air notwithstanding the loss
of power inseparable from its compression
and expansion has come to the front this
year, especially in th : s country, where the
Hardie and Hoadley patents for railwaj
motors have been extensively tested on
the streets of New York City. Both of
these attempt to overcome the loss by
a system of heating the air previous to its
admission to the cylinders. The Hardie
motor has given such satisfaction that it
is shortly to be applied experimentally to
the elevated railroads in this city. Com
pressed (lir ha* al«-J undergone a suocess
lul te-=t on the United States monitor Ter
ror, where it is applied to the

The motor cars, or horseless carriages,
have attracted more attention this year
(han any otner device in tho tield of me
chanical engineering always of course ex
cepting the bicycle. Our columns have
kept the public well informed, both bj
cuts and descriptive matter of the progress
of the industry. The record o ( the year
proves that the motor car has come to
ste.y, and gives cause to believe that
will enjoy a popularity saeond only to that
of the bicycle itseil. and a commercial
utility far greater. The greatest perfor
mance of ihe year was that ot T br> winrl
machine in Uie Paris Marseilles raco, j
w nch covered 1073 miles at an aver.iee
speed of over 15 miles per Lour. iu this
country we have had th" i
race on Decoration Day aud iiiu u.. .% roce
at the Providence State Fair. Tbe wav
has been opened for the new industry in
England by tue repeal of the ant qu -1 .
laws restricting the use of motors on com
mon roads. In the inaugural parade (so
called, it was roaliy a r.»c-> the winning
car made a speed of over 20 miles per hour
for tho whole journey from London to
Brighton. At the present tbe oil motors
are in almost undisputed posession of the
field; but there is every reason to expect
that when tho steam ongineers have had
time to dovelopo a suitable form of engine
aud boiler this supremacy will be disput
ed.
The bicycle will oontinue to enjoy an
enormous popularity. It has undergone
little or no organic change this yea- in its
construction the diamond frame, ohain
driven machine continuing to be the pracj
tically universal type. There is a_ ten
dency to raise the gear from 664 to 74 or
even 80. The tendency to study the com
fort of the rider is seen in the great atten
tion which has been paid to the produc
tion or a comfortable saddle, built on so
called "hygenic" principles. The siugle
tube tire" appears to be displacing the
double tube; and tho weight of the aver
age machine remains at about 23 pounds.
The close of the year 1896 sees no abate
ment in the craao for naval ship building
which has taken cf the nations.
England, France and Russia continue to
make enormous expenditures on their
fleets, and Germany on a smaller scale, is
maintaining her activity of the last few
years. Speaking generally of tho designs
there is & tendency to sacrifice armor to
armament and speed. Tnis is very no
ticed le in the latest battleships of the
English navy, known as the nevr Renown
ciasri, wiiicu with a displacement ot near
ly 13.000 tons; will have only inches
ot armor on the sides, six inches on the
tiulkheado and ten inches oh the turrets.
On the o'her hand they will carry nearly
Z,ooo tous of coal and steam about nine
teen knots. It will thns be seen that 'hs
dividing line uelween battieship and ar
mored cruiser is gradually disappearing.
One of the most sensational events of the
year was the speed attained by tho tor
pedo boat destroyers, Desperate of the
British navy, and Forban of the French
navy, both of which exceeded thirty-one
knots an hour. The naval progress of the
United States during the past year has
been altogether unprecedented. The most
notable fact is the completion of that
powerful trio of battleship*, the In.iiana
Massachusetts and Orogon, which are uni
versally conceded to bo the most powerful
fighting machines afloat, E.»eh of them
considerably exceeded the contract spaed
at its trial, tue Oregon touching icvenuen
knots au hoar. The Brooklyn was nearly
two knots ahead of its trial spoed of twen
ty knots, and thi 3 vessel also enjoys tue
distinction of being tho most effective
ship of her c'ass afloat. The monitors
M.>naduock and Terror, tneram Katahdm,
and the torpedo boat IJricssou have also
been accepted. In naval sticugth, tne
Unitod States have now moved up to sixth
place, and they will eventually be ahead
ol Germany on the list, if the present
aetiv'ty continues.
We have so recently illustrated tbe re
cent development of s,hot and armor th»t
it is sufficient to say that the year closes
with the Harveyizsd relorgfd nickel stt-el
ulate and the comuresaad fji'id sni.i.

In tho merchant marine it is gratifying
to record that the American 'i■.• r Si. !'.»i.
has captured the record from Southamp
lou to Xew York, ner tioi*» on two sncce.s
sive trips beinn C days 2 hours and 24 mm
•utes, aim tj days acd 31 miuuies, uor speed
on tho latter trip being kn"ts per
hour. This result from a ship which was
designed tor only 20 knot* u> « distinct
tribute to the skiii of the shipbuilders
Mention must be uiade in this connection
of the placing ot orders by the Japauese
government with Messrs Cramps aud
with the Uniou Iron Works lor two fast
cruisers, it is the first event of its kir.d
and full of promise for the tur.ire. Speak
ing generally, there has been a tendency
the past year to build cargo steamers ol
unprecedented size, huge carrying ci.pao
ity and moderate speed, the Pennsylvania
the next, largest ship to the Great Eastern
and rivaling her in sizo, being a case in
point Tha German y?rds have two ves
sels in hand for tho Atlantic mail service
which are to surpass the Lucania, the
Frederick the Great being 20 teet longer
on tho water line and several hundred tons
greater displacement. Tho world is
watching curiously fcr the trial trip ot the
Basin roller ship.
Tho geographical world has welcomed
home this year from Arctic exploration
Dr. Nansen, who failed to drift across the
North Pole, but penetrated to latitude 86
degrees 14 minutes, which is 2 degrees and
50 minutes further north than ever before
attained. The Jackson- Harinsworth ex
pedition has mapped out an extensive aroa
ot Franz Josef Land, aud Lieutenant
Peary haj returned safely from liis annual
Arctic tup. The voyage of Mr. Broch
grevink to Antarctic legions and his earn
est representations are likely, to result in
one oi more well equipped expeditions.
Archaeology has reaped a rich liarvo. t
as a result of the year's exploration;. M.
De Morgan's discoveries at Da.-hur in
Egypt, the excavation of l)r. Richardson
in Corinth aud Uerr Dorpl'eld at Athens,
the finding of Trajan's &uip of State iu
Lako Nomi, and lastly the splendid results
of American investigation in Bubyionia
are only souie of the operations of a partic
ularly successful year.
Tne held cf aeronautics is poorer by tbe
loss of Lilienthul, who died a martyr's
death, victim of liis devotion to science.
The most remarkable performances of the
year have been those of Prof. Langley'a

equilibrium or receiving uny damage, 'i ho
