TO FEED HUNGRY SOLDIERS
The Canadian Government Will Try a Novel
Experiment.
A Kltehen on Wkrrln Capable of Pr?
vidlSK for More Than ?
Thousand Mri.
The Canadian government has just had
built, in accordance with designs furuished
by the military authorities, a car that will
play an important part in any future war
fare in which Canadian soldiers take part.
The car is a gigantic kitchen, capable of
furnishing meals, on a pinch, to as many
as X,5m) hungry soldiers without overtaxing
its capacity. The immense extent of terri
tory which it would be necessary to protect
In case of a general war has l>een for some
time a source of uneasiness to the Cana
dian government. It has Ix-en evident that
the sparsely settled country, so different
from the thickly populated states on this
side of the border, would be a very weak
basis for a line of battle. While the United
States would liave rich foraging should
supplies run short, the British would find
only barren hills and empty wastes in a
large part of the region over which they
would be spread to guard the frontier. To
provide against this emergency it was de
c'ded to build a car that would be a gigan
tic kitchen on wheels, and to make a care
ful test of its capacity for feeding tr-xips
with a view to ascertaining how many of
such cars would he required in time of
war to feed the entire military force of the
dominion.
The car is now finished, and experiments
will begin at once. A train is to l?- dis
patched over the Canadian Pacific railway
from one side of the continent to the other.
On this train there will l?e a body of sol
diers which will depend for subsistence en
tirely U|>on the rolling kitchen that accom
panies them. Meals will be served accord
ing to a carefully prepared schedule, a^.i
the officer in command will take notes of
the incidents of the trip, in order that tin
government may have the fullest possible
data to guide them in their calculations to
determine the value of the idea.
A Kitchen ?? Wheels.
The car from which "Tommy Atkins"
will draw his sustenance in future fights?
and on excursions and field days in time of
peace as well?is known as commissary car,
No. 1KM). It is an unusually large one, be
ing longer than the ordinary baggage car.
from which it differs in construction by
having a vestibule at each end. The sup
ply room is entered from the front. Here
all is in readiness for the coming experi
ment; there is room in the car for supplies
capable of sustaining l.trno men for a
period of ten days.
From the store room entrance is obtained
to the kitchen, which is the most interest
ing feature of the car. Down one side runs
the range, which is in reality two ranges,
with a total length of twenty-two feet.
Everything is up to date in construction
and planned on a large scale. It would be
beyond the strength of one man to lift the
immense copper kettles in which will be
stewed the beef that "Tommy" is sup|>osed
to revel in. anil they are to be raised by
mtans of derricks and chains fitted above
the stoves. With these appliances the ket
tles can be manipulated with the greatest
ease, and swung ever to the tables, ready
for the distribution of their contents.
Well Fitted I'p.
Opposite the stoves is a gigantic water
tank, capable of holding gallons of
water, and directly above the stove is an
other tank. In the rear of the car are
sir.ks, with hot and cold water, and various
appliances necessary in preparing meals on
a large scale. Yet only five men are ."e
quired to operate this plant. The cooks
have been carefully selected, and no stone
has been left unturned to make liie ex
periment a success.
The car is set upon double trucks of r.ix
wheels each, and is constructed with a
view to securing the smoothest of running.
It would not seem to be an easy matter
for the cooks to handle huge cauldrons
filled with scalding soup while the train Is
running at full speed, but with a proper
use of the appliances provided it is thought
that no mishap will occur. The grea'cst
difficulty, however, will be experienced at
such times. When stops are made-^and
several have been arranged to test tue
value of the car kitchen as a base of camp
supply?the cooks will have an easy time.
Postal Treaty Signed.
The final act on the part of this govern
ment in the ratification of the treaty
adopted by the recent universal postal
congress was taken yesterday afternoon,
when President McKinley signed the for
mal convention or treaty and Secretary of
State Sherman had the government seal af
fixed. Postmaster General Gary had already
signed. The treaty takes effect January I,
1SI!>. It modifies the convention of the
Vienna congress now in force, as follows:
"For territorial transit, including mari
time transit of r.ot more than .'too nautical
miles, each country in the line of transit
is to be compensated by the country of ori
gin at the rate of what amounts In Ameri
can currency to is cents per pound for
letters and post cards and 2% cents |wr
pound for other articles. This rate is to lie
reduced every two years of the six at the
rate of ?"?, 10 and 15 per cent, respectively.
For maritime transit, about $1.45 per pound
for letters and post cards. 9 cents lor
other articles. This is to be divided pro
rata among countries in transit, with grad
uated reduction each two years to $l.."Ci.
$1.16 and !I7 cents, respectively. Transit
expenses will be further reduced, as pay
ments will be made only on the basis of
weights exchanged during is:*;, though
mails increase in weight a!>out 10 per
cent annually. Commemoration imstage
stamps will not be recognized in interna
tional mails. Postage stamps are to be
printed, as far as possible, by the various
countries as follows: Five-cent, in dark
blue; 2-cent, in red: 1-cent, in green. Na
tural history specimens, except for com
mercial use, will be admitted as merchan
dise samples. Letters In care of consuls
will be returned to origin free."
Death of an Old Resident.
James W. Hurley, a well-known resident
of this city, died at his residence, 122'J N
btreet northwest, yesterday morn ng alwut
o'clock. The cause of death was cerebral
hemorrhage. Mr Hurley has not been well
since the death of his wife, about two years
since, and since that time has complained
much of his physical condition. Four days
ago ho began to sink rapidly, and the end
came this morning, as stated.
Mr. Hurley was seventy-three years of
age, and for many yeurs was at the head
of the restaurant at the corner of 7th and
G streets, where he was associated in bus
iness with his brother. He leaves a num
ber of children and grandchildren, besides a
number of friends, who will learn with re
gret of his death. The funeral will take
place Thursday, and the interment will be
at Congressional cemetery.
Mr. Miller May Recover.
According to information, the condition
of Frederick W. Miller, the keeper of the
hotel at Great Falls. Md.. who recently shot
himself with suicidal Intent, has undergone
no change. At first It was thought his in
Jury was necessarily fatal, but a change
for the better has taken place, and It is be
lieved he will recover. It is said he is suf
fering from consumption, to which cause
is attributed his rash attempt at self-de
struction.
Mr. Becker Injured.
Mr. Victor J. Becker of the Bradbury
Piano Company met with a very severe ac
cident Monday about 6 o'clock p. m., which
came near resulting seriously. While as
cending the hill on his bicycle on Pennsyl
vania avenue between 14th and 15th streets
he was run Into by a large wagon, which
was being driven on the wrong side of the
Btreet. and thrown to the pavement. He
was conveyed to the Emergency Hospital,
where it was at first thought he had re
ceived a fracture of the skull, but it was
ascertained upon examination that his In
juries were confined to a very severe cut
over the eye. The wound was trcaied by
the physicians at the Emergency Hospital.
The driver of the team, after the accident.
Immediately whipped up his horses and got
away before hia identity could be deter
mined.

EARL ( 1IHH.W KI.WTi:n.
MeetiiiK of (lie \?li?nnl 1 ?l??n of ( oa
Mrnathr ANMH'ililiunN.
Earl Ca iogan, the lord lleut*-nanC of Ire
land. was yesterday, in I>ondon, ekvU^l
president of the National I'nion of Con
servative Associations in succession to in
Karl of Derby. There was a lar^e atte-nd
ance of d? legntes from the different asso
ciations of conservatives at the convention,
which was held in St. James' Hall in l-a>n
don.
The meetiriK unanimously adopted a reso
lution in favor of the establishment ol a
royal residence in Ireland, and its oe< as ion a 1
cccupation by the queen or a memlwr of
the royal family. "aa? this would tend to in
crease the sentiments of lo^lty to the
crown and attachment to const ltutionsl
government."
A ureat miss meeting: was held las'
night in the All?ert Hall, at which the prin
cipal speaker was the premier, the Marque
cf Salisbury. No f'*w*T than s.?mw? prisons
were present, and the ent're assembly rose
at the entrance of l^oid Salisbury, cheep? i
him to the echo and sang "For He's a Jolly
Good Fellow.'*
l^ord Salisbury said the pnvomm- at of
Ixui-don was a question which must In
solved, and could be solved only b> jrivin.;
to oth? r and smaller municipal bodies i
large part of the duties now performed by
the LemJon county council, lie promised
that the government would introiu e legis
lation on the subject at the next session of
pari anient. "The present system." sai l
his lordship, "is due to tne modern passion
lor bigness of things and is too unwieldy.''
He asked his hearers to look at what had
!>cen done across the ocean, "po you want
to be governed like New York? Yet the
result there, which was watched with so
much interest and which so many people
deplore, was adopted after efforts vto
amend admitted defects in the municipality
by enormously increasing its area and
bringing a much vaster population under
its range. The undertaking has failed la
mentably. because it could not obtain the
assistance and eo-oj?erai:on of the only
class of men by whom municipal Institu
tions can be satisfactorily and thoroughly
governed."

Official dispatches which reached Simla.
India, yesterday from the British camp in
the Maiden Valley announce that (General
Kempster's brigade, while coming in Mon
day evening, was attacked by the enemy
in force. The tribesmen were driven off
with the assistance of star shells, which
i?lumir.ated the scene of the encounter suf
ficiently to enable the tribtsmen to be
seen.
The British offieers found in the residence
of the Mullah Said Akl?ar letters from the
Haddah Mullah, saying:
"The Turks have Inaten the Greeks anf
have seized the approaches to India, and.as
the British reinforcements are cut off, novi
is the time to strike a blow for Islam."
The British officials have accepted the
submission of the Maddakhols. on the sur
render of the property and r.tles looted at
Maizar. and on the payment for such prop
erty as is not forthcoming. This tribe also
has to pay a fine of rupees and tc
surrender twenty hostages for their fu
ture good cond ct.
Further advices from the Maidan Valley
camp sa> that while foraging in the west
ern part of the valley a British force ha 1
six casualties, and four staff officers had a
narrow escape from capture. A l>ody of
the enemy, concealing their rifles, saun
tered up in an apparently friendly manner,
but the officers were suspicious and re
treated, whereupon the tribesmen o|?enel
tire upon them. This brought a company of
Ghurkas to the rescue, and the officers suc
ceeded in getting away.

Ma J. Couprr's Appeal.
The appeal of Major Couper of Atlanta,
Ga., from his removal as assistant post
master in favor of Major Smythe, han
reached here. The civil service commission,
however, can see no relief for the action,
for an amendment to the civil service rules
made by President McKinley on July 27
last excepts one asisstant postm;ister,
or chief assistant to the postmaster, of
whatever designation, at e-ach post office
from the civil service re?iuirements for ex
amination or registration l>efore the (Com
mission. Chairman Procter of the commis
sion, who returned last night from New
York, state?d that under this rule there was
no action the commission could take in the
matter, and the discretion thus given the
postmaster was only restricted by forbid
ding removals for political purposes. If
the postmasteT give's no reason for the re
moval, there is no remedy for the deposal.
Postal Clerk*' Salaries lneren?ed.
