The Chicago & Eric railroad Is building forty locomotives of an entirely new type for use on tlio main line between Chicago and New York. The most striking fcaturo In the new engine Is the position of the cab , which Is placed In front of the steam dome , leaving the boiler and firebox Immediately over the driving wheels. Several advantages are claimed for this arrangement. The en gineer Is given a much clearer view of the track ahead , nnd has better control ot the machinery. The heaviest part of the locomo- tlvo Is over the driving wheels. The area of the boiler Is considerably Increased and the cost of fuel Is greatly reduced. By an Improved arrangement of the firebox the chccoest kind ot fuel can be used , and ' the saving on that score'is uatd to Inconsid The ne\v engine can also be built Tor IS per cent less cost than the old typo. It Is lighter and tha wear and tear on the tracks Is expected to bo much less In cense quence. Two firemen will bo employed on each engine , ono to afoovel ccal and keep up fltcum and the other to assist the engineer. The now engines will attain much greater speed and do muro work at less cost than the present locomotives. The Erie adopted the now engine after a test of oeveral months. Sorao old locomotives were remod- elpd on these lines and employed in freight ind passenger service with satisfactory le- IM2X.SIOX.S Ji'OIl WHSTBHX VnTISH.WS.

Tlio orjratilwitlon epllt In 1838 , the chief differences between the two factions being as to T.-hother the American organization should bo subordinate to the organization In Ireland , and whether the privilege ot membership should extend to thee of Irish descent through ono parent or only to per sons of Irish descent through both parento. There seemed to bo no way of ending Uio strife until last August \vhon a commlttco form each organization met at Atlantic City In joint convention ami agreed upon Bishop McFaul to settle the difficulties. Bishop McFaul's decision is na follows : " 1. The namn by which -Iho reunited or ganization shall bo known Is 'The Ancient Order ot Hibernians ; ' the words 'In America' shall bo added only to designate the country wherein the organization Is located. " 2. The constitution In use previous to disunion , and adopted at the National con vention held In Cleveland , O. , May 16 , 18S4 , shall bo taken as the groundwork to which all necessary amendments shall be made' , "At thn atlonal convention , held by virtue of this decision , amendments shall bo rcc- ommondej by a commlttco of five- members , appointed 'by ' the permanent chairman , and said amendments may be adopted by the convention after they shall have received the approval of the aibltratnr. " 3 , The qualifications for membership In the order are enumerated In article x ol the above-mentione.1 constitution. Among others , the following will iho found : 'No person ahall become a member of this order who Is not Irish , or ot Irish descent through ci'.thcr ' parent , & c. "Thla qualification has been the c'niso ot much discussion In past years. I am sat isfied , nevertheless , that Its rctcnllcn Is nec essary Tor the continuance , gro'vth , and prosperity of the organization Inhla coun try. A mere restrictive qualification may , perhaps , bo better In Europe ; but In Amor- lea It wpuld be suicidal , owing to the fre quent inarriaRcs of the Irish and their de scendants with other nationalities. "It hai been assorted that this qualifica tion opens the way to objectionable member ship. J do not concur In this view. It Is by vote that a candidate Is received or re jected , and , as this U a sufficient safeguard , an additional means need not bo selected ; and ono that will lead , sooner or later , to the extinction of the order In America "bust be condemned fl > y every member who has the welfare of the organization nt heart. "Moreover , as ths Irish have alwaja been Juotly proud of the part taken by their he roic ancestors in the cause of church ana motherland during- the dark ngcs of per secution , this organization will only bo tru ; to Ita best tradition when It cultivates and encourages the patriotic pulsations of every heart in which circulates a single drop of Irish iblooJ. " 4. The quarterly communications , after the national convention held in accordince with this decision , ehall be manufactured and Issued , subject 1o the approval of the national chaplain , by the chief executive officer ot the order In America , until the European branches of the order shall have united , and < i member of itho Jrlsh hierarchy shall have certified to the National chaplain that the united 'body ' Is In harmony with the teachings of the Catholic church. Then , as provided for eUowhcro In this decision , the question of receiving the quarterly com munications' from Europe may bo consid ered. "You have como together like true and honorable men , willing to make any sacrifice for unity and harmony ; you liavo resolved that all differences shall he forgotten , and you are determined to act for the best Inter ests of your church , your race and the gen eral welfare of your organization. Your brothers In Europe are equally magnanimous , and will , no doubt , cheerfully follow your ex ample. I suggest , therefore , that the new < : blef executive officer , elected at the national convention , held by virtue ot this decision , communicate the chief executive officers ot the European branches of the order , and advise them to unite by 'some such feasible means as you have selected. " 5. A ibond of friendship , unity and Chris tian efharlty shall still exist between the American and 'European ' bodle . This bond shall be the 'transfer card' from either Euro pean branch , which shall 'be ' duly honored , as 'hereinafter provided , by the order In America. " 0. The plan of reorganization , which Is hereto attached. Is a part of this decision , and embraces allimattcrs appertaining to rep resentation , conventions , credentials , prop erty , transfer card , constitution , ritual , gov ernment ot organization , etc. " The quarterly communications referred to In the decision are the passwords. The plan of reorganization referred to pro vides , In brief , that all the divisions now composing the minor organizations of the American branch and ot the Hoard of Erin shall remain undisturbed as now organized and shall comprise the units of the reunited organization ot the lAncIent Order of Hibernians. Where there are two subordinate lodges claiming the same number , provision Is made for renumbering. In counties -where there are two county ( board's they are to be superseded 'by ' a single county organization to die composed of an equal number of delegates chosen from each of the rival divisions In that county , 'Where there are two state organizations In existence they ore to 'be ' superseded by a single ono to bo organized by delegates from the now county boards. A'fter ' the state boards arc re organized a national convention Is to bo called by dllshop McPaul and a single na tional organization formed to succeed the two present organizations. The convention will bo held In Juno or July of next year nnd it Is probable that Trenton will bo llxcd upon for the place of meeting. l Tiio due iilon will bu of Interest In this section' ot the country , for the disaffection spread hero , although It was largely con- flncdi to the east.

When I took charge of the olllco of In- dlnn nffnlrs I found the Crow Indians wan dering over what wna Known ns their reser vation In Montnnn. write * Hiram I'rlco tiv the Davenport ( In. ) Republican. This reser vation contained 4,713,001) ) ncrcs ot land nnd these Indiana were making no attempt to Biiln iv subsistence "V cultivating the soli , but on the contrary wre living the llvos ot ronmlnff Indian * nml wen * known ns the "Wild Crows ot the mountains , " In my minimi rei > ort ns commissioner I save fho condition of these Indians as I found them , and suRKTsted that they bo removed to the valleys ot the IR ! | Horn anil Little 1UR Horn rivers , where there was timber nnil water , so that they might bo Instructed Iti the direction of civilization and eventually eeuso to bo rovln ® nomads , supported l > / the government , nnd eventually beeomo jieacrnblc self-supporting cltlzenx. On my recommendation tbo secretary ot fho Inter ior asked congress for an appropriation to > build Homo lojr cabins , such n many whlto men settling In n. new nnd timbered coun try frequently live In and such a. ono ns I once built and lived In myself , Congress took the matter under consideration and. tlnally appropriated $10,000 for the necessary building ! * . Then with the approval of the Bccretnry of the Interior I advertised fop bids to put up these cabins as dwellings for the Indians A house ot some kind la nn essential feature and toelp to civilization. In answer to the advertisement a bid was received to do the work for JTO.WO. It did. not require a very largo amount of llnan- clal or business ability to decide that JTOW could not be pnla with $10.000. Then I held nnotncr conference with the secretary ana1 It was decided to advertise ugnin , which. was accordingly done , and In answer to this the lo\Yost , bid received \\i\s \ Jllt.OCO. The road to success , In this nttompt , to make Industrious citizens of the Crow In dians , seemed to be blocked , lint I had undertaken the Job of substituting the sonra of the husbandman for thn "whoop" of thu Crow Indians , nnd wnn reluctant to aban don U and acknowledKo defeat * So I suld to the secretary , "I have as * employes of the Indian olllce four sidnl | agents , one oC whom I t'hlnk ' Is familiar with frontier lift and knows how to handle an ax. Now will * your consent and approval I will send him Into the timber In the vtillcy of the BigHorn Horn and Little Hlg Horn rivers and au thorize him to employ n few men who know how to handle nn ax , and In thl * way t'heso ' houHeH can In built , and the $10,000 appro priated by congress e.in bo used to pur chase thu lumber for the roofs , lloors , doors and glass for the windows. " This plan waa adopted and the result was that , whllo Bomo Rip Van Winkle icd tape was dis pensed with , the Crown were started on < v now line of life , which bids fair to rcduco the number of wild Indians and Increase. the number of those \\lio may eventually become luw-abldliiB and respectable citi zens. And all this b.ts been done without creat ing any dellclency In any branch of govern ment appropriations , nnd without the viola tion of any law or rnsulntlon ot congress.
