Electricity is to be substituted as the
motive power for the street railways of
st. Paul and Minneapolis. The Thomp
son-Houston company have contracted
for sixty motors and cars for the new
service. Despite the danger from over
head wires electricity seems destined to
supplant the erratic mule from tramwav
service. This is essentially an electrical
age, and everybody and every thing
must get a lively movement or get left.
kickers are useless, profitless cumber-
ance, and must give place to the current
of the hour.

Presidents Of Railways Soc One Solution Of
the Rate DifIiculty.
CHICAGO. May 7.-The presidents Of the
western lines to-day passed a resolution
unanimously that the only way out of the
rate difficulty was to divide the traffic on
agreed percentages-in other words, to re-
adopt pooling. Another resolution passed
was that under no circumstances should
the present tariff rates be cut. The first
resolution only begins instead of ending
the fight, as there is no possibility of an
immediate and amicable arrangement for
apportioning the percentages. It is thought
the matter can be arranged by arbitration,
but no one can be found in railroad circles
willing to be arbitrator.
The general passenger agents to-day fin
ished the consideration of the rules. No
trouble was experienced and none 10 antici-

morrow to organize, if possible, an associa-
tion and to advance rates. Both subjects
