ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES PIERCE MOUNTAINS.
Seattle, Wash., Dec. 12.—Giant electric locomotives are now shuttling trains back and forth through the two,
mile tunnel of the Great Northern trunk line railroad which pierces the Cascade mountains about 100 miles eaM or
Seattle. The mammoth locomotives were built by the General Electric company at Schenectady, N. Y.. weigh 230,000
peunds each, develop more than 2000 continuous horsepower and are capable of delivering a traction effort of 80.000
pounds. The use of electric locomotives entirely eliminates the dangerous smoke and gases which frequently over-
powered engineers and trainmen, imperiled the lives of passengers and greatly delayed traffic. The big electrics are
capable of hauling the heaviest trains, steam locomotives and all, up the steep grades which were impossible for steai
locomotives except those of the very largest kind. The electrical equipment represents the best practice and the very
latest development of electrical engineering. The Wenatchee river has been harnessed about twenty miles squth of the
tunnel where 12,000 electrical horse-power is generated by the falling waters. The largest pipe line in the northwest
carries the water from the dam to the power house two miles below, 210 feet nearer sea level, where the great tur-
bines change the energy into electricity which is transmitted at 33,000 voltp to the tunnel. One of the most unique
features of this installation is the fact that on the descending grade the motors will become generators and return
electrical energy to the line tn assist other trains in climbing the hill on the other side of the tunnel. This is the
first time this feature has ever been successfully applied to railroad work in America.

Washington, Dec. 12.—'About this
time every year there comes from the
government printing office a host of
rather dry-looking documents—annual
reports, setting forth the ramifications
and results of the activities of hun-
dreds of government officials in every
corner of the national territory. Be-
hind the long columns of figures, un-
derneath the serried dollar marks and
other forms of statistics, between the
lines of bare and often cumbrously-
written official statements of men
whose forte is not literary, lie stories
which, if one had time to dig them
out, would be as Interesting as “Rob-
inson Crusoe" or any other of the fa-
mous tales of adventure.
Take for instance the report of the
secretary of commerce and labor,
Charles Nagel, addressed to the presi-
dent and first made public tonight.
The folowing paragraphs indicate the
scope of the activities of thg depart-
ment, and some of the entertaining
material with which it deals in the
course of a year’s work:

mammal families will have become ex-

The question arises, who knows all
this? Up on the barren reefs of the
Pribilofs there is a band of men called
the "Alaskan fur seal service." These
men counted the married seals last
year and found there were 1071 happy
families on St. Paul island, where one
paterfamalias lives in serenity with a
dozen wives. They found 2000 little
bachelor seals and 1 propmtly tagged
them as immune from the hunters, be-
cause Uncle Sam wants to encourage
every bachelor to get a "harem" of his
own.
So much for the top of the seas. The

Washington. Dec. 12,—Appropriation
legislation will bo undertaken by con-
gress before the adjournment for the
holidays. There has been a general
supposition that all measures of this
character would be postponed until the
first of January.
Chairman Tawney of the committee
on appropriations has upset this by de-
claring that an appropriation bill could
be passed before the Christmas ad-
journment. Mr. Tawney has found a
ready second in Chairman Phy he of the
ways and means committee, end the
two. (Hitting their heads together, have
arranged a program which will insure
t the passage of the District nt Colum-
‘bin appropriation bill and powbly the
army bill before the departure of tho
eolons for their homes. ,
"They must earn thelr turkey before
they eat it," Mr. Taw hey said when re-
minded of the anxiety of some of the
members of both houses to get away
next Saturday. The leaders of the po-
litical congress are gping to have the
appropriation bills passed aa early as
possible. This plan ip independent of
mH other legislative schemes. There
are two elements in congress. One
favors extensive general legislation.
The other takep the position that in
view of the fact that a genera! tariff
bill was passed in the extra session,
congress should be content to do very
little more during the present session
than pass the appropriation bills. The
latter faction taken the position that
in recent years there, has been too
much legislation rather than too little.
They say that the country needs and
want a rest,

probably be made to carry into effect
the recommendations of the president

sage nr in the special messagea which
sage may be deferred until after th?

New York, Dec. 12.—When Mrs.
Panama, Dec. 12.—It is an opinion In
Panama that President Zelaya of Nica-
ragua is riding for a fall, that he is
deliberately working to bring about in-
tervention by the United States, having
chosen this form of humiliation in
preference to the greater one of suffer-
ing defeat at the hands of the revolu-
tionists.
For the past sixteen years, during
which (Imo he has been in power, ac-
cording to the statements of men now
on the isthmus, who are conversant
with affairs in that republic, Nicaragua
has been ruled by a group nt eight dar-
ing, clever and unscrupulous men, who
have looked upon the country as their
own personal property. This group has
grown enormousy rich by a syN-
tematized pillage of the revenues of
the state and of indfvidunls. It is es-
timated that Zelaya is worth about
120,000,000 gold, most of which he has
invested in Brussels and London.
It is said to be well established that
the chief cause of the present revolu-
tion was the failure of Zelaya to dis-
tribute among, his seven aseoctates a
loan of $1,000,000 recently secured from
Europe. The men remonstrated, but
all to no purpose. Zelaya refused to
pay off on the old basis and even
threatened that if they did not submit
