An interesting subject to those who keep
in touch with the output from the differ-
ent railroad building shops is the ship-
ment to foreign countries of American
made railroad equipment, and none is more
interesting than the demand in Japan for
American locomotives. Japanese progress
can hardly be better explained than by
the use of American locomotives.
During the fiscal1 year ending June 30,
1905, 131 locomotives were purchased for
Japanese railways, aggregating a total
expenditure of a little over $1,250,000.
The sum paid for these locomotives dur-
ing the present fiscal year will double
that of last year and will be five times
as great as that of the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1903.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1905,
Japan invested in American locomotives
to the extent of $1,276,045.
For the year 1903-4, $624,873; for the year
1902-3, $275,042. This means a total of
$2,175,960 spent by Japan in the last three
years for American locomotives.
This attention to Internal improvements
in the way of transportation facilities in
Japan during the struggle with Russia
demonstrates the progressive methods of
the Japanese. They are demanding rapid
transportation, and the American locomo-
tives are known by them to be the best
in the market.
In China the demand for rapid transpor-
tation has not shown the same demand
generally, the figures here quoted showing
the prevailing conditions:
The Chinese empire during the fiscal
year 1902-3 invested $25,400 in American lo-
comotives; in 1903-4, $39,750; in 1904-5, $286,-
825. The investment in American locomo-
tives by Cuba during 1902-3 was $67,970,825.
The investment in American locomotives
by Cuba during 1902-3 was $67,970; in 1903-4,
$145,436; in 1904-5, $220,601.
The Philippines- purchased two locomo-
tives from American builders, one in 1903-4
and one in 1904-5. The investment totaled
$4850. During the last fiscal year Africa in-
vested $37,180 in five American distance
annihilators.
The exports of American locomotives
were less by $1,600,000 in 1904-5 than Jji the
preceding year, and but $400,000 greater
in value than in 1902-3. The value of these
exports to the whole world was $3,219,778 in
1902-3, $5,261,422 in 1903-4, and $3,617,000 in
1904-5. The principal decreases were in the
business with Mexico, British North Amer-
ica and several countries of South Amer-
ica.

The Erie Has Established a School of
Instruction for Its Men.
In connection with the recent efforts
of railways to obtain more efficient ser-
vice, announcement is made that the Erie
has established a railroad commercial
training school at Elmira, N. Y., which is
in many respects unique, says the Rail-
way World. The course was outlined
by officials who understand thoroughly the
duties of employes in all departments, and
new text books have been compiled with
the actual work of managing stations and
.offices and running trains as their basis.
Instruction has four divisions. The first
is theoretical, embracing a complete ex-
planation of the organization, financing
and general managing of a railroad sys-
tem. The three other branches are dem-
onstrative, in that they show, by imitative
operations the duties of th© freight agent,
the. passenger agent, the telegraph oper-
ator, the train dispatcher, the station
agent, the every minor officer and em-
ploye. By this arrangement ana pro-
cedure the school is wholly practical.
As an Inducement to prospective students,
the managers of the school declare that
the demand for railroad employes, espe-
cially station agents, always exceeds the
supply, and in proof of this they an-
nounce that several large corporations
have promised to engage the graduates in
regular work. As further inducements it
is said that the school is not conducted
for profit, the cost of tuition being regu-
lated to meet only the current expenses
■of maintenance, and that the railroad
companies find a need for employes hav-
ing special training.
Railway practice is one of the subjects
to be taught in the new Carnegie Tech-
nological schools of Pittsburg, which will
take their first students in October. The
tuition fee has been fixed at $20 a year.
All students will be required to pursue the
same subjects in the first year, the course
being designed to give a broad funda-
mental knowledge of the principles under-
lying the applied sciences.

New York, Aug. 17.—In pig iron
week has been rather quiet, taking
country as a whole, says the Iron Age.
Purchases by the United States Steel
Corporation will probably not be made
until early in September,
there has been a further moderate move-
ment in basic pig, one iriterest taking
10,000 tons at a concession, while another
buyer took 4000 in in addition to previous
purchases of 8000 tons. In the Pittsburg
district, a leading maker of cast iron pipe
has bought 10,000 tons of gray forge pig,
while in the Chicago district one foundry
is in the market for 15,000 tons.
In the east there has been a little wav-
ering as to prices, one large producing
(company offering at somewhat lower
figures.
Steel billets are scarce and the situation
is rather acute, particularly in the Chi-
cago district. At some points accessible
to tidew’ater small lots of foreign billets
have been sold.
Orders for steel rails for 1905 delivery
continue to roll into the works. The Har-
riman roads have just placed 75,000 tons.'
It is not known whether the system
accepted the offers for Pacific coast de-
livery jrnade by works in eastern Germany
who are not associated with the other
German mills.
The pressure upon the structural mills is
exceedingly heavy and the payment of
premiums for prompt delivery and the
importing of occasional lots of foreign
shapes seems to foreshadow an upward
movement.
During the week car builders have gath-
ered in additional work. It is expected
that an order for 12,000 steel cars will be
in hand either this week or early next
week.
In nearly all the heavy lines the tonnage
on the books is enormous and further
work cannot be taken in many instances
from- sheer inability to meet even distant
deliveries.
In the lighter lines the most Important .
development is that a heavy buying move-
ment has set in all along the wire trade.
The tonnage in sheets, too, is picking up,
but the merchant pipe trade is afflicted
with sharp cutting of prices.
In bars the agricultural implement mak-
ers and other consumers who contract
for their requirements for six months and ;
a year ahead have now pretty well cov-
ered. The aggregate tonnage has been 1
very large. (

New York, Aug. 17.—Subterranean pas-
sages, leading from a secret staircase to
stone-valuted chambers beneath the old
Tilden mansion in Gramercy park, have
been brought to light by the contractors
engaged in tearing out and remodeling
the structure, which is now under course
of transformation into a home for the
National Art club. Many other peculiar-
ities exist in the mansion, which must
have been the conception of Samuel J.
Tilden himself, and which have remained
undiscovered up to this day, although the
famous old dwelling has housed many
tenants since his removal to Greystone
in 1879, where he died in August, 1886.
There is a legend among the old time
residents of the neighborhood that Tilden,
who aroused a host of enemies by the
part he took in the exposure of the Tweed
ring, had a fear of secret assassination,
and built his house accordingly.
The interior of the mansion was a work-
of art in its day, and is scarcely equalled
in some respects even now by the palaces
of Upper Fifth avenue. In the work of
remodeling now under way the secret
staircase and underground passages we;^l
discovered. As the builders, like Mr.
Tilden, long since joined their fathers, no
explanation can be given for the my^
terious passages other than that men-*
tioned by old neighbors .
It was found that the building has thr§j|i
roofs instead of one,, and that a tiny stair-/
case led to a secret passage from th®
second floor. Entrance to it was obtained
by pressing a knob on a beautifully carved
walnut panel. t
In the cellar a puzzling labyrinth of
vaults and passages was found leading
to a bricked tunnel the walls of whiclj
are covered with mold, but which was
otherwise perfectly dry. The tunnel, sd
far as it could be explored, led straight
south from the mansion but its terminus
evidently had been closed for many years
and the air was found so bad that th®
workers have not ventured more than 29
feet into the passage. . j

New York, N. Y., Aug. 17.—An interview
between Emperor William and King Ed-
ward will take place when the l^hg is
returning home, after the cure in Marien-
bad, sq^’s a Times dispatch from Berlin.
The interview is said by the correspond-
ent to have been arranged through the
friendly offices of Emperor Francis
Joseph.
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 17.—Tobacco
smuggling in this and adjoining ports has
caused the customs inspectors to increase
their vigilance, because of the persistency
of the practice, and every incoming
steamship about which the least sus-
picion may be raised is searched.
Sumatra tobacco is being smuggled into
the United States from tramp steamships
and tankers sailing from German ports.
Most of the consignments are sent out
from Rotterdam, and the favorite landing
places in this part are at Marcus Hook,
Point Breeze and Port Richmond.
The inspectors were rewarded some
time ago for their suspicions of a Ger-
man steamship lying at Port Richmond.
After waiting patiently each night after
the arrival of the vessel the inspectors
caught the men in the smuggling game
making away with a quantity of Su-
matra tobacco,
awaiting trial.
But repeated arrests and conviction,
with long terms of imprisonment, do not
serve to discourage crews of foreign
steamships taking the risk of landing in
United States prisons.
The tobacco they attempt to smuggle
in is subjected to a duty cf $1.85 per
pound, and. w’hen large quantities are
successfully landed, the smugglers profit
handsomely.
Oil tankers have figured most promi-
nently in the smuggling
this country. The customs
were troubled for a long time by Texan^
W’ho were endeavoring .to escape
ternal revenue ^ax.
When the oil steamships began to ply
between this port and the new Texas oil
fields cigars began to be brought to this
market which had escaped the govern-
ment tax duty.
dsn t b-
Many arrests were made at Point
Breeze and Girajrd Point, and the prac-
tice was entirely abandoned.
Recently the smugglers have become
most active at Port Richmond and Mar-
'm
cus Hook. But Henry J. Snyder, chief of
the customs inspection service at this
port, declares that the smugglers are do-
ing" less business in the Delaware river
than at any time for many years.
