IN THE ELECTRICAL WORLD.

An electric railway has recently
been opened in Switzerland which as
Cends the peak of Rouchberg at an
angle of nearly seventy degrees.
On the authority of the Matin OF
Paris il is stated that Mr.. Edison has
discovered new cure for govt, which
consists in the simultaneous use of hth-
inc and electricity.
Now that the subject of submarine
telephone cables and their future pos
sibiiities is being so freely discussed, IL
is interesting to know that the cable
which has been laid by the pilot author
tiles in Finland. between Hanzo, the
most southern point Of Finland, and a
lighthouse two and half miles from
the coast, for telephone eommupica-
tions is working perfectly.
Prof. ThurstOn, in discussing the
possibilities of speed In future railway
travel, states as his conviction that
where railways are carrying large num-
bers Of passengers on short routes, as
on elevated roads-where, If ever, we
may reach enormously high speeds
the electric motor or some advance even

engineering must come into use. Heat.

The most extensive electric railway
in the world is operated by the West
End Street Railway Company, of Bos-
ton, whose third annual report furnishes
these figures: Total miles Of track op-
Grated by the company, zoe. 70; miles
completely equipped with electric over
head system, 60. 20; miles partially so
equipped, 27oO; box cars owned, 83s, of
which 1914 are electric; open cars, $50, in
Guiding 17S electric; total miles run dur
ing the year, 17,666, $3.50, Of which the
electric mileage was, 1911, TAB; total
passengers carried, ia, $50, Os1. An in
crease of AL per cent. in travel has fol-
lowed immediately on the lines whore
electric power has replaced horses.
1t appears that electricity is being
brought more and more into intimate
connection with photography. 1t is now
used In lighting studios and for secur-
ing artistic effects of light and shade.
In order to avoid black, hard shadows
the light is projected upon a sheet of al
abaster, and thence on the subject. The
result is soft and exquisite in tone The
electric light is also used for printing,
for enlargement, for balloon and kite
photography. In aerial photography
the camera is attached to q kite. When
the desired height has been reached, the
exposure is made by electricity, and
pictures are thus secured which could
not be secured by any other means.
The telephone exchanges at Toxic
and Yokohama, Japan, are said to be
nedrly completed, and will be put in
operation by the beginning of the new
year. The distance between these two
cities is Is miles, and subscribers are
allowed to converse with other sub
scribers in either city without extra
charge. The annual charge in Toxic Is
nearly $40 for each instrument, and in
Yokohama nearly S35. At the public
paw station a charge of oentG Ia made
for q Ave minutes conversation, if both
subscribers are in the same city, but if
= conversation is carried on between
the two cities q charge of Is cents is
made for each Ave minutes. In Toxic

rolled is 1876, including the government
Offices. In Yokohama only IL have so

C1unie on Harrison's visit.

New YORK, May LEX Congress
man Thomas j. Clunie, of California,
was in the city today. He is making
preparations for trip to Europe this
summer, where he expects to remain
several months. In an interview today,
he said
"Harrison's visit to the Pacific coast
will not add to his strength there. They
gave him warm reception, but so they
would any president. The hospitality of
California is well known, and that hos
pitality will be extended to any man
who goes there holding a clear title to
the presidency. 1t is doubtful if Cal
ifornia can be made a democratic state
while millionaire republicans take an
interest in politics. Sometimes the
state does go our way, but not when the
republicans see fit to make the usual
contributions. Senator Stanford, of
course, can contribute big money to a
campaign and not feel the expense, and
there are others of the same sort. Sena-
tor FELTON,, the new man, is a wealthy
and very able man. In our state few
millions. are never allowed to stand in
the way of an election"
He said he hoped Mr.. Flower would be
nominated for governor of New York;

IN THE ITALIAN DEPUTIES
The Affair is Again OmciaIIy Discussed
by Rudini.

ROME, May I4.-Rudini, in the cham
ber of deputies today, discussing the
New Orleans affair, said it was simply a
legal question; that European sympathy
was with Italy and he hoped for a
friendly solution of the questions in
volved. Signor Quinteri asked whether,
in view of the verdict of the New Or
leans grand jury, it would not be more
dignified to renounce the matter and
leave the responsibility for the lynchings
on those tolerating them. Signor Cavel-
letto expressed regret at the rupture in
the relations between the United States
and Italy. He thought little should be
said about the affair, as it was a very
delicate matter. Premier Rudini said
exaggerated importance ought not to be
given to the affair. 1t was a question
essentially judicial and ought not to be
converted INTO one of national dignity.
Replying to question relating to the
New Orleans grand jury and Signor
Corte, tie Italian consul at New Orleans.
Premier Rudini added he had learned,
through the newspapers, of the incident
regarding the consul. If the news were
true, he matter would be itself sufficient
to prove real insult 20 Corte.

WASHINGTON, May I4.-The depart

of the acceptance by the government of
China of the invitation to participate in

DENLY, the United States minister,
writes under date of April LIST to the

"The emperor has not deputed official
representatives to the expositions held in
foreign countries of recent years; but
having now received kindly sentiments
from the United States government the
prince and ministers have the honor to

A Seattle Merchants Futile Attempt at
SeIf-DestructfOn.

Seattle Merchants Futile Attempt at
eIf-Destruction.
SEATTLE, May 14.-Thomas Browne,
aged about so years, attempted suicide
today by shooting himself three times
with 22-caliber revolver. He will re-
cover. He was found about 2 O'Clock
this afternoon, lying across a green grave
in the Lake Union Cemetery, that held
the body of his wife. Three small holes,
surrounded by powder marks were in
his head just above the right ear, and
from the wounds flowed the blood that
stained his sparse gray locks and clotted
in the geen grass that grew in luxury on
the grave. Mrs. Browne died eighteen
months ago. Mr.. Browne is quite well
known here, having for two years pre-
vious to the fire managed J. w. Hughes
tea and coffee store. Shortly after his
wife's death he went with his son to Spo-
kane, and his son Thomas II. Browne, is
still in business at that place, running a
tea store. Mr.. Browne returned to Seat
tie yesterday, and said that he came from
New York. He was seen at ten O'Clock,
and again at IL o'clock this morning, and
appeared in excellent spirits. At
O'Clock he was unconscious on his wife's
grave. He declines to speak of his trou-
bles. He is at Providence hospital.

NEW ORLEANS MAF1A.
History of Events Leading Up to the
Tragedy.

Tragedy.
New ORLEANS, May 14.-The commit
tee of fifty made its report to the mayor
tonight. 1t says, in part:
The first work of the committee was
to obtain from the chief of police a re-
port of the ninety-four assassinations by
Italians and Sfcilians, where the accused
escaped for want of evidence. Then fol-
lowed the assassination of hief of Police
Hennessey. The result of the trial
demonstrated to the people that no one
was safe from the mysterious band that
was operating regardless of the law. 1t
was only when this fear grew into abso-
lutte conviction that the people rose in
their might, took the laws into their
hands, and then followed the event of
March IA.
The report then, at length, goes on to
show the existence of the Malta, and
tell of visit made to the Italian consul
to secure information. He stated he
was ready to cooperate with the com
mittee and would prepare report con-
tanning the information in his possess
sion. He was convinced of the existence
of the Malta in the city, and had strong
suspicious as to who were the leaders
He furnished the committee with names.

A WIFE MURDERER.
A Terrible Tragedy the Result of a Pro-

Terrible Tragedy the Result of a Pro-
tracted Spree.
JERSEY CITY, n. j., May 14.-William
Kerrigan and his wife, middle-aged
couple, came from Haverstraw, N. Y,
three days ago to visit Mr.. and Mrs
Carson at 161 Steuben street, this city.
The two women are sisters. The quar-
tette have spent most of the three days
in drinking and frequent quarrels have
occurred, which eliminated today in the
murder OF Mrs. Carson. A violent quar-
rel took place in the Carson apartments
this afternoon, and when the police were
finally called in they found Mrs. Carson
dead on the floor, with her throat cut
from ear to ear, while her husband had
two terrible gashes on the head. Mrs
Kerrigan was slightly cut about the face
and her husband was missing, he having
fled. Carson says that Kerrigan attacked
Mrs. Carsen and cut her throat, and
that he was stabbed while trying to de-
fend her. From the statements made
by Mrs. Kerrigan and the neighbors who
were close by during the quarrel, it
would seem to be case of wife murder
Carson and Mrs. Kerrigan were locked
up and the police are looking for Kerri-
