So Count Mitkiewicz, Anxious for Trial, Waived Examination. Count Eugene Mitkiewicz, who was ar- rested yesterday and released on bond to answer a charge of false pretenses pre- ferred by Lawyer John T. Hunter, as pub- Mshed in yesterday's Star, appeared in Judge Mills’ court today, anxious to have a hearing in the case, 3 he was confident of a vindication, but for some reason the pros- ecution was not ready, and Mr. Mullowny aeked for a postponement until Tuesday. Lawyers Clarke and Keys, for the de- ferdant, objected to a continuance. “Our client is innocent, and does not want this charge hanging over him,” said coun- sel. “The government caused his arrest, and although the witnesses are in the city, and can be had in a few minutes, a contin- vance is asked.” Mr. Mcllowny said that Mr. Birney had ordered the warrant, and he wanted time to make the proper investigation. “There's been plenty time for investiga- tion,” Mr. Clarke said. “And certainly when a citizen invokes the aid of the law in a case of this kind the accused certainly be given a speedy hearing. “If the government is not ready,” said the court, “I will have to grant a continuance.” “Then,” said Lawyer Keys, “won't your honor fix the case for Monday?” He explained that the count business out of the city which would require his personal attention, bat the court would not make the change, “Then,” said counsel, “we will have to waive an examination, for our client can- not possibly be here on Tuesday.” The court thereupon sent the case to the grand jury, and fixed the bond at the smallest amount fixed In such cases, $300. Count Mitkiewlcz gave the bond and was not detained. ——=— ‘THE “APENTA” HUNGARIAN BITTER WATER, Ite coutral of the Royal Bungaitan Chetateat Ta: ite of ingarian ica} - pete, — of Agriculture), Buda-Pest. . g.

Spread the glad tidings—the hoodoo 1s broken. The Washington Base Ball Club yesterday won one of the prettiest and closest games of the geason by making a grand stand finish that was a reminder of last spring. And it will also pass into his- tory as the date of the reincarnation of | Pitcher Mercer. Win twirled in his old- time form, holding the Spiders down to five hits, three of them being due to luck, pure and simple. He also fielded his position well, and was quite lively on the coach lines. The return of their favorite to his natural condition caused the hearts of the dear girls—it was ladies’ day—to thump almost loud enough to be heard, and there were many happy creatures among the throng that filed out of the grounds after the game. But, speaking of hits, it should not be overlooked that Mr. Wilson of Cleveland put ’em over in such a way that but four Senators could tap the sphere safely, and they for but one each. In the eighth, hawever, Washington began to wax familiar with the young man, and Capt. Tebeau very wisely directed him to take a seat and brought Wallace to the fore. But it was too late. For a long time it looked very much as though the game would go on into dark- ness without a runner crossing the plate. In the third inning Jesse Burkett made the first hit for Cleveland, a two-bagger, but he advanced no further. The Spiders did not again connect safely with the ball un- Ul the sixth, when their only run was scored. Burkett was thrown out by Smith, but McKean hit to center and reached sec- ond, when Childs was retired at first, Mer- cer to Cartwright. McAleer was equal to the emergency. He shoved hard with his bat, and the ball proceeded rapidly to left, McKean crossing the plate. Mac was am- bitious. He tried to steal second, and was out for running cut of line, though he was easily caught by Farrell's throw to De- Montreville. In the seventh McGarr hit a ball that went within half an inch of the foul line, and reached second, and in the eighth McKean sent an easy one straight at Cartwright, but it bounded unexpectedly way over the big first baseman'’s head and counted as a hit. Cleveland, however, had finished scoring. In the first inning for Washington De Montreville singled, but he was forced at second. In the fifth Lush got to the initial bag on a single to McKean’s territory, and took second when Selbach waited for balls. Both runners were left. Time and innings rolled into the past, and it looked like another case of whitewash, for Mr. Wilson’s delivery was not at all easy. However, a chance to give vent to enthu siasm occurred in the eighth. De Montre- ville, who led off, flied to left. Selbach, the next batter, who had not been doing much with the stick up to that time, thought he would break the monotony and cracked a single to center. “Oh, for a three-bagger,” moaned some one in the stand back of first base. There was no audible response, for the chances were one hundred to one against such a happening. Charlie Farrell proved to be the right man in the right place, however. Wilson posed for a moment, and then pitched the ball. Farrell was seen to make @ lunge, and for several seconds thereafter all was pandemoritm. Those in the front seats could discern two fielders having a foot race toward the fence back of center field. Selbach was observed to move around the bases and acréss the plate, while the Duke seated himself on third to recover lost breath. When things finally quieted down play was resumed. Smith was given his base on balls, and then it was that Pitcher Wilson was benched. O'Brien hit to Childs and Farrell started for the plate. He made a slide, but Childs’ return to Zim- mer was like lightning. “You're cut,” ruled Hurst, and many hearts sank. But hold! For once luck was with us. Instantaneously with the ruling of the umpire Big Chief dropped the bali and the run counted. A passed ball allow- ed both Smith and O’Brien to move up a base, and the three bags were occupied a moment later when Tom Brown was hit by the ball. Cartwright sent the ball to- ward McKean, but it landed against O’Brien, who was running to third. John- nie was thereby out and the other runners returned to the bases from which they started. Cartwright a moment later was forced at second. The Spiders went to bat in the ninth with a do or die air. But Mercer was on his mettle. Mr. McAleer sent a very gentle one to Smith and was promptly thrown out. Mr. ‘Tebeau was very ambitious, but the ball he succeeded in hitting preceded him to Cartwright by several yards, and the crowd yelled on. Mr. McGarr was un- questionably bent on driving out a home run. His efforts amused Mercer greatly. The latter put a compound®twist on the ball, McGarr made three mighty lunges and all was over.

VIRGINIA’S STAR PLAYER. What Mr. King of the Roanoke Club Says of Wrigley. Mr. J. Earl Wagner 1s in receipt of the following communication from Mr. A. B. King, owner of the franchise of the Roanoke club of the Virginia League: “Mr. George Wrigley has just informed me that you have accepted his» terms to play with you for the rest.of the season. “I desire to say to yott Im reference to Mr. Wrigley that you have sécured. the star player of the Virginia League of this sea- scn, not excepting any Gther, and I am sure, If you will give him'a fair trial, he will hold up Fis end in the big league.’ He has been playing on our team cyer since the opening of the season. He Is always willing and ready to play, and does his best in every game, and you will have no trouble at all in managing him. “Mr. Wrigley has had a sore finger for some time, and while he has played in every game and has not missed ‘a single cne on account of this, I would advise you not to put him in until the finger gets thoroughly well.” Base Ball Noten, And now for Buck Ewing and his Cin- cinnati braves. There will be two games with the Reds Monday, the first beginning at 2 p.m. McGarr made a great stop of De Montre- ville’s hit in the first. There were a complication of errors in the fourth, but happily no runs resulted. Good running alone gave Lusn his hit in the fourth. A slow man would have been beaten by the ball. Mercer made a plucky slide to firet in bis effort to win the race with the sphere in_the fourth. The girls continue to turn around in the seventh. Perhaps that is what changed the luck yesterday. It has come at last. The sang are calling the big first baseman of tne Philadelphias “La Josie.” His right name is Lajoi2, and is pronounced ‘“‘Lawzhooee.” It means joy or pleasure. When “Scrappy BI" Joyce heard this definition he wanted to bet that the player was an Irishman masquerading aga Gaul. “His name fa Joye, the game as mine, but he’s ashamed to admit it. How would I do as La Joycey? Parley voo Frongshay? Wee, wee—a high ball, mon- sieur. Sacre bleu!’—Cincinnat! Enquirer. “Nick” Young should assign a compe- tent umpire to games In this city when Cleveland and Cincinnati are here.—Balti- More American. The Baltimore folks should rest easy. Tim Hurst will officiate in championville today. The best pitchers have no terrors for Anson. He sizes them all up. Captain Joyce has great faith in Gettig. He thinks the young man will do. Pickering, Louisville's new center fielder, is said to be very fast on the bases and in the field. The Philadelphia Inquirer gives Boston's new pitcher the name of “Clog Dancer.” Con Lucid, recently released by the Phil- lies, has signed with Tom Burns’ Newark team. The Bultimores can make runs faster when they get a-going than any team on earth as Chronicle Telegraph. To keep him In steady practice, Captain Ewing of the Reds has decided to send Chauncey Fisher to the Indianapolis team for the rest of the season. Those home games the Baltimores re- lied so much upon are not proving the sure thing anticipated. The Orioles must brace up.—New York Advertiser. An exchange says that Cleveland wants to trade McAleer for a hard-hitting out- fielder. Hoy has made twenty-seven sacrifice hits this season. He is within one of the best record made last season, when Jennings of Baltimore led the league in this respect with twenty-eight to his credit, Tim Keefe umpired the first game in the Eastern League yesterday at Scranton. It was a close game, the Scrantons defeating the Rochesters by the score of 4 to 8. ‘Therc were many difficult decisions, but Kecfe’s decisions were thoroughly gatis- factory to both sides. Tucker has a- pull with, the Boston right fleld bleachers, and @ Wawe of his hand mesns a noise a la pandemonium. Deck- er, the long left fielder of the Chicagos, bas the same following,,gt home, and the Ohicego bleachers are never satisfied un- less Decker is on the liné. It is Al Maul here, although Mercer captained the bleachers yesterday during the yelling that marked the exciting eighth inning. ‘What has become of that steel flag pole Tebeau was talking aljout early in the season? ; Sam ‘Thompson has fallen off in his bat- ting average. So did Anson last year, but he is now near the top. Thompson's days on the diamond are not over by any means, as he has taken excelignt care of him- self. Next season he will probably be found among the first ten batters. To the excellent work of Manager Han- Jon belongs most of the credit of keeping ' Baltimore in the race. He is never at loss for a good man when the emergency calls, and to team work and a nevur-say-die policy can the Orioles credit their stand- ing.—Sporting Life. Down east they are claiming that Bos- ton. will pass Cleveland in the race. Walt vnul Patrick Henry Tebeau hits the lot on the shores of Massachusetts bay. What, the parrot got from the monk>y, which same is unfit for publication, won't be a ¢-reumstance to what the Ohio No. 2 team wll do to the bean-devouring band. Chi- cago Is also talking big about Cleveland. Anson and his angels are only three games behind the Cleveland committee on base ball, and the big fellow gives it out that {t is as good as all over with Tebeau. The Clevelands are a great deal like an ice cream dish—finest when licked.—Cincinnati Enquirer. THE CROQUET TOURNAMENT. Prizes Won by FE. C. Butler and F. 8. James. E. C.

In the national tennis tournament at Newport, R. I., yesterday forenoon, at- tracting a large number of spectators to the courts, Larned, who played Whitman on the grand stand court, won easily by superior play. The greatest interest was in the game between Carr Neel of Chicago and Stevens of Hoboken. = ‘Neel began his net game, forcing Stevens to lob. The latter was not successful in this sort of play, neither is he past the westerner with his drives, and the set re- sulted'in Neel's favor. Stevens started to serve in the second set, and Neel continued his net play so successfully that he won—-0. The third set was a heavy one. Stevens rallied won- derfully and passed Neel repeatedly at the net, winning the set. But it was not easy work, deuce having been called three times. The match was called after the set and play was resumed later in the day. The score stood 6-4, 6-0, 7-9 in favor of Neel. The hottest match of the forenoon was between Bob Wrenn, the ex-champion, and his brother George.’ The ex-champion has improved wonderfully and his stock has taken a sudden jump. George Wrenn, however, made him play his best, and three deuce sets resulted. Fischer beat Sheldon, although the latter gave his opponent a hard game, and in the last set Sheldon had Fischer 5-2, but Fis- cher pulled out, 8-6. Summary, third Whitman 6-4, 6-1, 6-2. Carr Neel beat Stevens 6-4, 6-0, 7-9, § R. D. Wrenn beat George L. Wrenn 2-6, 8-6, 7-5, 9-7. Fischer beat Sheldon 6-4, 7-5, 2-6, 8-6.

Rogers Discusses the Tebeau Case. Col. John I. Rogers is quoted as follows in regard to the Tebeau case: “For reasons of delicacy I have hereto- fore declined to be interviewed or to an- swer numerous letters and telegrams from western journals on the legal aspect of the Tebeau caee. I was at Pittsburg awaiting the decision in the Rusie case at the time the board of directors imposed the fine on Tebeau. When Mr. Young came down stairs and announced the decision of the board I told him that however Tebcau’s conduct may have justified the fine, it was not lawfully imposed; that Mr. Tebeau, like all other American citizens, was entitled to a hearing. I also told him that section 22 of the league constitution authorized the president of the league, “upon proper proofs,” to inflict a maximum penalty of $200, which could be remitted by the board. This, of course, implied an appeal and hear- ing. I advised the board to at once recon- vene and annul its action and let the presi- Gent impose the fine. One of the directors who heard my views rather agreed with me, but thought as the result would be the same whether the fine was imposed by the beard or by the president, and that as Tebeau deserved the punishment, it might as well stand, especially as the board had adjourned and its members were then scat- tering to take the trains for their respect- ive homes. “When I heard that Tebeau had filed a bill in equity and obtained a special injunction I wrote to Mr. Young, reiter- ating the above counsel and suggesung that the board, by mail vote, remit the fine, and that he could, upon affidavits— as president—under section 22, impose the fine and notify Tebeau therecf and of his right to appeal. Mr. Young re- plied, however, that it was too late, as the Cleveland attorneys had full charge of the case and were confident of victory. The decision of the court, however, sus- tains my anticipations. In fact, I’ can- not see how it could have been other- wise. The Ohio court’s decision was in- evitable, and while its decree has no extra territorial effect, a similar injunction could be invoked upon the same state of facts from the courts of equity in other states. “The league should mantully bow to the law, especially to the law of its cwn crea- tion, thus interpreted. The boar] shculd wipe the illegal fine from its records and take no further action unless upon Te- beau’s appeal from a fine, which the pres- ident could yet lawfully impose.” PATCHEN IS Lowers the Stallion Record at Rigby Park to 2.03. The famous pacing stallion Joe Patchen lowered the world’s stallion pacing- record by one-quarter of a second, going the mile in 2.08 flat, on the Rigby, Me., track yes- terday afternoon. Two of the judges’ watches showed the time to be one-fifth of @ second less than 2.03. After a mile of warming up the black stallion was sent with a runner known as Little Friend, driven by Charles O’Brien. A strong head wind was blowing. The Judges caught the quarter at 20% seconds, and with the wind a: his back the famous stallion reeled off the second quarter in 2% seconds. The half was made in ene minute, the third quarter in 301-4 seconds. He met the wind again on the last quarter, but did it in 323-4 seconds. John R. Gen- try held the previous record. The crowd lifted Curry out of his sulky, swarmed from the-grand stand and cheered like madmen. -Patchen is seven years old and is owned ‘by Col. John 8. Taylor of Chi- cago. He already holds the world’s record on a half-mile track of 2051-4, made at Mystic last week. MIGHT GO TO HENLEY. Discussing the Sending of the B A. Cc. Eight Abroad. Baltimore rowing men are thinking of sending the Baltimore Athletic Ciub eight to Henley next summer. The crew is com- resed of experienced men, who have rowed races for several years. After three weeks’ work in the spring the crew defeated the Annapolis Cadets one and one-half miles in 7.334%. The University of Pennsylvania's crack crew had three months’ training and then barely succeeded in beating the ca- dets, the time being much slower. On the Schuylkill river the B. A. C. eight defeated the celebrated Bohemians of New York by three lengths. The Bohemians were last year’s national champions. The University of Pennsylvania eight heat the Bohemians only a quarter of a length, and would not have done that had it not been for the bad steering of the Bohemian cox- swain. ‘Then the orlole crew went to the national regatta at Saratoga and won the race for eights. The Baltimore American discusses -the chances of the eight as follows: “In practice, the regular time for the Baltimore crew for the mile and a half on Spring Gardens, with smooth water and calm weather, 1s seven minutes and twen- ty-four seconds. “The course at Henley is not a mile and a half. It is a mile and five hundred and fifty yards. There are four hundred and forty yards in a quarter of a mile, so that the English course is one hundred and ten yards greater than a mile and a quarter. Leander won last June in seven minutes and fourteen seconds, or ten seconds faster than the regular practice time of the Bal- timore crew. While they went ten second faster than the Baltimore crew, they cov ered three hundred and thirty yards less space. A gait of a mile and a haif in seven minutes and twenty-four seconds, as done regularly by the Baltimore crew, reduced will be found to be a galt of about six yards per second. In the distance rowed in England and in America there is a dif- ference in favor of this country of three hundred and thirty yards. As it takes the Faltimore crew one second to cover six yards, it would take them fifty-five sec- ends to cover the additional three hun- dred and thirty yards. Subtract fifty-five seconds from thelr time of seven minutes and twenty-four seconds, and one has the time it would require them to cover the mile and five hundred and fifty yards. This bit of arithmetic signifies that the local crew could go the Henley course in six minutes and twenty-nine seconds. This is forty-five seconds faster than the last regatta was won by Leander, and twenty-two seconds below the fastest time made at Henley, the world’s record being ‘Should it be a possible consummation to serd the Paltimore crew to Henley next June, they would in all likelihood be in far better shape. next year than they were in this. They would get a new boat and would start at once into light training, leading up to the really serious gymnasium work that would commence with the new year of 1 The American estimates the cost of send- ing an eight to Henley at $2.40. It cost Cornell University students close to 2,000, and Yale spent probably more. New Wheelmen’s Association. Information of a reliable character comes that a syndicate of bicycle manufacturers has been formed with the intention of wresting from the League of American Wheelmen the control of racing. The prime movers are said to be E. C. Stearns & Co. of Syracuse, N. ¥., and A. G. Spalding & Bros. w York, Philadelphia and Chi- | cago.

Strangers are alreaiy arriving in Toledo, Ohio, to attend the international yacht race between Vencedor and Canada Mon- Gay, Tuesday and Wednesday next. Aside from its interest as a sporting event, yachtsmen see in it a renewal of the old contest between “keel and centerboarid’ Canada being a cutter of the latest type and Vencedor a “skimming dish” with a fin. Hundreds visited both boats when docked, &nd the wise ones believe the weather will decide the contest. A strong wind will favor Canada: light winds Ven- cedor. Besides this, the belief is current that Canada’s crew are better sailors ‘han that of her rival. The owners of the respective boats have agreed to divide the $1.4” in gol offered by the ToleJo International Yachting As- sociation. Like true sportsmen, they do not like to race for gain. Each will do his best to win the silver cup. but the cash will be divided—0 per cent to the winner, 40 per cent to the loser. The cup is on exhibition in a store win- dow and attracts crowds of admirers. A New Cycle Record. The world’s records were broken yester- day at Salina, Kan., at the state meet of the L, A. W. Vesper, Bren and Hunt, the Kansas City triplet team, lowered the one- third mile track record from 39 seconds to ar seconds. “Reddy” Maxwell did a one-third mile in 88 3-5, lowering the record from 394-5. John Lawson, the “Terrible Swede,” of Chicago rode a mile, flying start, in 2 minutes flat. The Kaiser's Yacht to Blame. LONDON, August 22.—The Field throws the whole blame for the Isolde accident and the resultant death of Baron von Zedt- witz upon the Meteor. It comments upon the “ridiculous and inadequate coroner's inquest,” and asks what the Yacht Racing Association and the Royal Albert Yacht Club are going to do in the matter. In conclusion it say: “The attempt to blame Saint is mean. It 1s a modern in- stance of the fable cf the wolf and the lamb.” ————— CHANGED THE SENTENCE. The Court Had an Odd Way of Show- ing Mercy. Bessie Robinson and Henry Wayman, a colored couple, had an unpleasant meeting yesterday and a bottle used by the woman inflicted painful injuries to the man’s head. Bandages about his head were so numerous tkis morning when he appeared in court that he had scarcely room enough to see between them. The rties to the affair told their stories and Judge Mills fined the woman $10 or thicty days, and when a mo- tion for a reduction of sentence was made the court changed the penalty to a sentence of thirty days and a fine of $10 or thirty days additional. This was even worse than the original sentence, and the judge, taking another hand at the case, let the first sen- tence stand. —— Rev. Father De Ruyter’s Death. The Rev. John A. De Ruyter, aged forty- two years, a Catholic priest and president of the St. Joseph’s League, which is de- voted to mission work among colored peo- ple on the Delaware, Maryland and Vir- ginia peninsula, died at Wilmington, Del., esterday afternoon. He had started for layton, Del., to visit the industrial school for colored boys, which he had established there, when he was taken ill. He returned to St. Joseph’s Orphanage for Colored Boys in Wilmington, of which he had charge, and died soon afterward. He was born in Holland and had been an active religious worker. He spent two years in India. Father De Ruyter was formerly stationed at St. Augustine's Church in this city. LABOR DAY PARADE Columbia Typographical Union Will. Not Take Part. ———— PRESIDENT SPOHN ON THE SUBJECT He Declares the Turn-Out Will Be a Big One. OTHER LABOR NEWS A special meeting of Columbia Typo- graphical Union was held last evening to consider matters relative to parading on Labor day with the other organizations which are affiliated with the Central Labor Union. It was decided not to take part in the demonstration. The same question was considered by the union at its regular meeting Sunday last, but some of thcse who favored taking part in the parade claimed that the matter was not brought before the fmembers until nearly all who had been in attendance had left the hall, and that the vote which de- feated the proposition was only that of a small minority, and in order to have a full discussion of the subject twenty-five mem- bers, the constitutional number, signed a Jetter requesting President Kehoe to call a Special meeting of the union, which he aid. The meeting last evening was the largest held for a long time. President Kehoe pre- sided. There was but little debate on the subject, as discussion was cut short by @ motion to table resolutions which were of- fered that the union take part in the pa- rade. It was stated today by some of the most Prominent of the labor leaders that not- withstanding the action‘/last evening of Columbia Union they had assurances that at least 35) or 4) of the members of the union would take part in the Labor dey parade. They would not, it is said, claim to represent Columbia Typographical Union, but would parade as printers, and it is said that already money enough has been subscribed to secure a large band of music for the occasion. Presidcnt Spohn is Emphatic. Prominent members of the Central Labor Union today expressed themselves as being much annoyed at the allegation that on account of the alleged indisposition on the part of many trades union organizations to teke part in the proposed demonstration, the Labor day parade would be abandoned. President Spohn of the Central Labor Union said: “Such statements are incor- rect, and unless contradicted are calcu- lated to do the cause of organized labor much harm. The information undoubtedly came from a source not friendly to the or- ganized labor of the District “There will,” he continued, “be a parade on Labor day, and it will be of such a character as will be in every way credit- able to the trades union organizations of the District, and for the first time in a general parade on Labor day the best ele- ment of organized labor will be in line, and the rag-tag and bobtail crowd will be con- spicuous by their absence. There will be not less than 3,000 men in line, and this wil! demonstrate that there are at least that many men in the District who are Ic al to the cause of labor and who are dis- posed tu publicly honor Labor day Where the Trouble Lies. “For some time,” said Mr. Spohn, forts have been made to discourag¢ members of union organizations who to do so, but It will be ineffectual. “Several months ago, when the trades union organizations were considering the propriety of a Labor day parade, the tral Labor Union communicated wit federation and invited its members to ticipate, but they refused to do so ever since they have attempted to defi the efforts of those who were disposed to parade. However, we are aware of the fact that we can have a parade, and that we can abundantly care for ourselves in this, as In all other matters of Interest to the lexitimate trade organizations of the I trict.” The Chief Marshals Announcement. In referring to the matter of the parade Chief Marshal Silver today said that as soon as he gets sufficient data from the various crganizations intending to parade to enable him to do so he will proceed to make assignments for positions in the line, and will appoint an aid and three assist- ant marshals. He will also consider the propriety of dividing the line into three divisions, but will take no positive action in any of the matters referred to until after he has advised with his colleagues of the conference committee, Alleged Eight-Hour Viola President Spohn of the Central Labor Union today received a report concerning an alleged flagrant violation of the eight- hour law by a subordinate official of the District government. Mr. Spohn said he would at once give the matter a thorough investigation, and if he finds that the fact warrant it he will bring the whole subject before the C. L. U. at its meeting Monday night. Painters’ Assembly, K. of L., at a largely attended meeting last evening indorsed the action of the Federation of Labor and D. A. 66, K. of L., in reference to the proposed removal of the Leer boycott, and accepted a challenge from the Carpenters’ Assembly for a game of base ball on Labor day. —-_ ELECTRICITY FROM COAL, ‘ef~ those ire A Process Which May Revol Methods of Generating Powe When we remember,” said a well-known citizen to a Star reporter, “that the finest iriple-expansion engine on one of the great ocean liners only obtains about 14 per cent of theoretical efficiency in burniag her coal, and that our ordinary steam en- gine does not get over 6 or 7 per cent there- from, we cannot overestimate the recent discovery of a process for gencrating the electric current direct from coal, or coke, and from the process, it 1s claimed by its inventor, 87 per cent of the theeretical efficiency of the coal used has been ob- tained. Further, it is claimed that the cost will be from 1-5 to 1-10 of the present ex- pense. The process seems simple enough, for we take a quantity of coke, reduce tt to pewder, and make it into big, round sticks of carbon, that then look a «ood deal like giant firecrackers, or the sticks of car- bon for an electric are light, though very much enlarged. This stick carbon is sus- pended in a cylindrical fron pot, containing an electrolyte of melted caustic soda. And when a current of alr, introduced by @ small tube, is driven through this solution, electrical action fs set up, producing a cur- rent of extraordinary volume. “To gain the necessary voltage, or elec- tric pressure, 100 or more of these iron pots may be put together and their rims con- nected by a wire. The whole plant, it may be called a battery, must be inclosed in an oven, to keep the solution up to a uniform temperature of about 400 degrees Centigrade. “A pump to drive the air through the solution is all the machinery that is re- quired. No boilers, no engines, no dynamo, no askes, no water, no endless quantity of supplies are needed. “The annual expenditure for steam power in the United States is estimated at about $450,000,000—an equivalent, it Is said, of all the annual cost of our general government, including all improvements and expendi- tures on public works. The new process will reduce this expenditure for power to less than $100,000,000. Then, again, there are Over $1,100,000,000 invested in steam en- gines alone in the United States: the first ecst of the new process would be one- fourth of their present value, and there- after they can be run for one-fifth of their present expense. So, it is claimed by the inventor that upward of three-fourths of a billion of dollars will be saved in the first cost alone. “The expense of maintenance, or, rather, of attending the process, it is asserted, will be very small. The carbon cylinder will last 150 hours, or even more: the inclosing oven has a self-feeding attachment, and the attention required will be no more than au ordinary small steam-heating house ar rangement.” 4
