Novel Use of Compressed Air.
i novel use of compressed air Is
made by some railway companies In
some of the Southern States of
America, says the Railway News.
When the loads of cotton for export
are being taken to the coast, there
is alwnys some danger of such high
ly inflammable material becoming
damaged through sparks from the
locomotives. To prevent this, the
locomotive boilers are filled with
compressed air. A train load of
several thousand, bales of cotton
can be hauled by these locomotives
at a rate of twelve miles an hour,
although no fire whatever is used In
working them.

to the Democrats, he Says.
Washington, May 17—Senator Till
man today received from former Sen
ator William E. Chandler, a state
ment of his course as an Intermed
iary in negotiations between Presi
dent Roosevelt and Senators Tlllmnn
and Bailey on the railroad rate bill.
The communication bears upon
Senator Lodge’s denial for the pres
ident of Mr. Chandler’s statement
quoting the president as saying he
had lost confidence In Senators For-
aker, Spooner and Knox. It was
offered In the senate by Senator Till
man and will be printed In the Con
gressional Record.
Mr. Chandler, In his statement of
today, reaffirms the essential por
tions of the statement he made to
Senator Tillman. Continuing, ho
days:
“Much as I regret that the haBty
action of Senator Lodge and the pres
ident has forced an issue between
the president and myself, the ex
treme language he used makes such
issue unavoidable and I cannot shrink
from or evade it, although I cannot
use toward the chief e^ecutlvo of the
nation language like his own. Upon
our respective statements I submit
the controversy with donfldonco to
the judgment of those who know me.
For those who do not know me
there is fortunately circumstantial
evidence of a high order which
shows that tho president could not
have omitted to make in substance
the statement which he denies. Nor
could ho have then made the whole
statement which he now substitutes.
