Morris Park, December 29 The Long Island Railroad eompany is experimenting with coal oil as a fuel on its locomotives, with the idea of doiurr away with coal on its looomotivos.

Some titnm ago one of the largest Baldwin en cinos on the Eockaway Beaeh road was taken into the shops here and the necessary nllera tions wore made in the tank and lire box for the substitution of oil. The engine was put in regulur service nnd thus far the experiment nas been attended with great success. Stam it kept to tha desired pressure without difficulty. The annoyance of clogged up grates and consequent falling pressure is entirely dispensed with. At nil events the oil has done the work of the coal and is said to bo cheaper.

It is not unlikely that after the completion of tho testa it will gradually take the plae ot coal on all the locornotivns on the road. THE MATHEWS' WILL CONTEST. An Interesting Hearing Before Surrogate Weller. (Special to the Eagle.) Jamaica, L. Decamber 29 Surrogate A.

December 20 From the pr sent outlook it appears that the ten thousand dollar school house, which has been under way for a year and a half past, will now be com pletenl.

The War Department Decides Against a Bridge Over the Hudson at Bath. Chinese Made Brave hy Education. Dissemination of the Papal Edict Against the Secret Societies Patrick Corr's Embezzlement Reported. Washington, D. December 20 Secretary Herbert to day made public tho llnding ot the court oi inquiry in the case of the grounding uf thn Cincinnati on November 10, oil' Execution Honk, Long Island sound, and his own action in the matter.

Tho court found that when the vessel scared tho point where she struck. Captain Glass wns obliged to leave tho dock, giving orders to the navigator, Lieutenant A. C. Dill inghami the pilot, J3. V.

Arculariuf, and the eillcer of the dock, Ensign Hoger Walls, governing them during his absence, and leaving Dillingham, assisted by the in charge of tiio navigation of tho vossel. The ship was then headed on a safe course. The grounding Is reported as duo to an error in the judgment of the pilot (ono of the oldest and most experienced in Now York), and of tuo navigator in estimating the distance of tho ship from tho shoa's on whicn sho struck. The pilot's error caused the grounding and contributing in a less degree to this result were the established lasts that tho speed oi theship, eleven kots un hour, was not reducod by the navigator on approaching thu shoals, remaining too great for accurate soundings, that the officer of the deck neglected to station a leadsman on the port side and that tho captain on leaving the dock did not place in charge the ollioer next in lineal rauk. The court was of opinion that further proceedings should be had iu the cases of l'ilot Arcularius, Captain Glass, Lieutenant Dillingham and Ensign Welles, hut as it did not say what proceeding should be had.

Judge Advocate Lemly, iu receiving its report, reported that tho interests of tho orvico do not require the trial oi any of the oilicurs. In indorsing tho record, Secretary Herbert omphasixm the fue.t that tho presence, of a pilot does not relieve officers of responsibility and says it is clear that the same degree of caution was not oxerciscd by the ollicers iu narigniiug the ship as if thero had been no pilot aboard. He liuds that the captain was particularly censurable for contiuuing to run his ship at such high spuod in confined waters. The war department has decided adversely to tho building of a bndgo across tho Hudson river at Bath on tho lludson. The report of (Jolonr.i diiiesplo of the engineer corps, upon winch Secretary Lament bases his action, shows that after a public bearing and a full consideration ol the subject, be is of opinion that tho construction of the bridge at the location and In accordance with tho piano submitted on June 11.

1MU2, wouhl create an unreasonable obstruction to navigation of the Hudson river. His exclusions are bused upon the following reasons: Thero is not everywhere under the bridge tha least admissible free eloarance o( twenty live feet at moan high tide. The el' araueo iu tke west spaa is twenty three feet, or only three tenths of a foot greater than the Green bush bridge, which is complained of as obstructive. The proposed bridge crosses the river at only 300 feet below an Island, rendering do wn stream navigation difficult ami dangerous. The passage will bo hazardous in freshets nnd night passages may be entirely suspended.

The set of the current would make tho passage through tho draw very difficult at low water and in northwest winds or at high water tho passage would bo either impcssible or attended with great risk. Such a bridge would in consequence be a nuisance Irom date of constractiou. Tho distanee from the axis of the bridge to tiio next bridge is 1..00 feet and from the free ends ot the draws only ieut. It is apparent without argument that tho aaviga t.on ol the river between the island and bridge or between the bridges under such eon ditions would inevitably be attended with great danger to life and property. If tho proposed bridge he proven later to be a public necessity it may be located with ls injury to navigation at a point not 0 feet up stream from the upper Akaay bridgo requmug two draw bridges.

The war department has been advised by Colonel Wood, in i barge of the recruiting depot New York, of the forgeries cuminittvd by Corr, geaoral service clerk, and has directed a thorough investigation.

It Is s'lut at th department that the government will lose nothing by Corr's conduct, as the hanks wlueh cashed the cheeks with forged indorsements are liable lo the sub treasury for the f.j.fiOO paid out by it when the chu lis wero turned in by them. The officers at the department are inclined to rcganl this case as strong argument agaiust the ot the law which last spring caused ihe die charge ot all general service clerks from enlisted forco and thoir re employmeut us civilians.

A NEW CHANCELLOR POSSIBLES The Rumor Gaining Credence That Prince Hohenlohe Only Intended to Act as a Temporary Incumbent When He Accepted the High Office Count Eulenburg Suggested as His Fossibla Successor. (Copyrighted, 1S9 1, by the Associated Press.) Berlin December 29 This has been a holiday week and even the emperor's restlesa activity slowed down. The weather in Germany has been fine, more like spring than winter, and business has been brisker thaa for many years past. The custom of placing loaded Christmas trees in the windows has been almost universally observed among the working classes.

By the imperial family Christmas was celebrated in quite the old fathionc German way. On Monday, toward evening, Immediately following dinner at the) new palace, the handsomely trimmed trees wore lighted and gifts were distributed. Emperor William and the empress each had a fine fir, IS feet high and thickly hung with glittering trinkets, while on a table befora them stood a pile of costly presents. Emperor William's principal gift was' a splendid, pearl necklace, which he presented to tho empress, accompanied by an album of Norwegian views sketched and colored by himself during his trip north last winter. The royal princes each had a smaller tree and a table covered with pretty, suitable presents and all the members of those belonging to the more intimate court circle also bad a tree and a pile of gifts.

The ceremony of distributing the gifts and decorating the trees took place In the shell hall and the scene there Is described as being fairylike in th' i X' re ip p. On Thursday there was a special matinee performance at the Royal Opera house for the sake of the young princes, to enable them to witness a performance of the opera of "Haensel und Gretel," and in view of the mild weather the imperial familv took lengthy excursions on foot at Potsdam and in its environs during the week. Tho Dowager Empress Frederick celebrated Christmas by visiting a number of charitable Institutions, where she left handsome gifts. An especially interesting scene took place at the Emperor and Empress Frederick's Chlld dren's hospital, where the dowager empresa sat in the middle of a large ward and distributed presents to those of the little patients in the convalescent stage who were able to walk. The dowager empress then went to the cots of the other children and with her own hands gave them Christmas gifts and spoke a few kindly words to each patient.

Emperor William sent by his aide de camp. Major von Moltke, a special Christmas gift for the Queen Regent of Holland. It was in tho form of a splendidly mounted copy of the original portrait of William of Orange, now in the gallery at Darmstadt. Early during the past week the emperor viewed the statues of the Hohenzollern rulers destined to adorn the renovated white hall of the old castle and made a speech to the sculptors who had executed the work according to Instructions received direct from the emperor's lips. His majesty complimented them and conferred decorations upon all.

uuujoi's are now in circulation to the effect that Prince Hohenlohe, the chancellor, only intended to act as an interim chancellor and that the emperor's real choice for chancellor is Count Botho zu Eulenburg, formerly president of the Prussian council of ministers and minister of the interior, whose disagreements with Count von Caprivi led to the latter's resignation of the chancellorship and the subsequent ministerial changes including the resignation of Count zu Eulenburg himself. The Freissiunige Zuitung directly calls Count zu Eulenburg Prince Hohenlohe's coming successor. In the meanwhile, however. Prince Hohenlohe, not feeling strong, has escaped from tho turmoil and worry of office by seeking a refuge outside of Germany on the fine estate of his eldest son, at Podlebrod. Bohemia, where he has been spending Christmas.

The chancellor is trying to gain aid in his official duties by making his other son. Prince Alexander, his personal go between, as Prince Bismarck used Count Herbert during the last years of his chancellorship. Young Hohenlohe, who has been a delegate to the retchstag from a constituency of Alsace Lorraine, therefore, forfeits his seat while gaining an Influential ofllce at the chancellerie. The case of Herr Engels, editor of the Ul mer Zeitung of Wurtemberg, although in Itself of no great Importance, is significant because it Illustrates the present state of popular feeling in South Germany. Herr Engels wrote and published an article severely commenting upon the recent public utterances the emperor.

The editor of a newspaper at Constance, Baden, reprinted Herr Engels' article and he is now undergoing a term of imprisonment In consequence, while Herr Engels, whose case, according to Wurtemberg law, was submitted to a Jury, was acquitted. The comments nf the South German press on the case are instructive and interesting. The newspapers unanimously congratulate to jury on their verdict. An important convention of Polish socialists took place at Breslau this week. Tho delegates were sent from Berlin, Breslau, Altona.

Bremen and the Rhinlsh Westpha lian districts, as well as from Bromberg, Ratlbor and Posen. A resolution was passed to intensify socialist agitation everywhere among the PoleB, as their social and political interests are said to be those of the socialists, but not to touch their religious convictions. According to official figures submitted to the reiehstag bureau. It appears that 25,471 young men who were due for military enrollment last year were absent without permission nnd were tried and sentenced ia their absence for evading military service. A gang of five counterfeiters have been arrested here, and in their possession was seized a large quantity of counterfeit money, molds, metal, etc.

A government bill will be presented to tha retchstag shortly after its reassembling raising the duty on cotton seed oil to 10 marks and reducing the duty on adulterated cotton seed oil to marks. The I'nlted States ambassador, Mr. Theodore Hunyon. gave a dinner to the Italian ambassador to Germany, Count Lanza dl Rusca. on Thursday last.
