Kansas City. July 6.-The $500 people
who went to the game yesterday after
noon saw one of the most beautiful
contests of the season.
It was essentially a pitchers battle,
with Bevis and Barnes as the oppOs-

carried off by Bevis, for though he
gave the Brewers their only two runs
by his wildness, still he was very
steady and effective at critical moments
and at no time were the visitors able
to bunch hits on the Kansas lad.
Barnes pitched a good game of ball.

lines which the company has already
established. The company is afraid that
when the underground trolley is put in on
Market, Haight. Hayes, McAllister and
some of the other streets the property
owners along the line of the overhead
trolleys will make demand for the new
system.
"Of course that would involve a great
expense, in addition to that which the
company has already incurred in chang
ing certain cable lines to the electric
system.
"But they are bound to come to it in a
few months. The saving is something
surprising. Say the cars are ten minutes
apart, the current is on between each one
of the switches only five seconds-that is
10 say five seconds every ten minutes,
while the current is continuous with the
overhead trolley. In rainy weather, too,
there is saving of 15 per cent in fuel at
the power-house.
Negotiations are now under way with
cable company in Chicago operating $50
miles of road, and with companies in New
York and Buffalo. That, however, does
not interfere with the Market-street Com
pany. 1t has n grip on the patent AM q
right to use it on the lines in this City
and Market street is all ready to receive it. d

omical to operate as the practical switch
system herein explained. In fact over
head electric wires are already doomed.
The authorities at Washington Cd. C.),
New York aud Boston have ordered them
removed, as they have become an intolera-
BILE nuisance in those cities. Ordinary un-
derground trolley systems, so Tar as their
actually dong the work is concerned, are
now being successfully operated in the
East and in Europe, but the mere placing
of the crude and unprotected live trolley
wire in damp conduit is even less econ
omical than the overhead wire, as the sup
porting insulators, being subjected to a
constant strain and under unfavorable
climatic conditions must cause a great loss
of power every twenty-four hours and
greatly increase the consumption OF fuel
at the power-house.
The method of Mr.. Rosenholz, permit
ting only of the sectional and temporary
charging of the trolley wire, promises a
speedy revolution in the construction and
operation of electric roads.
E. H. Poehiman, who represents Mr..
Rosenholz, said: 1.-THE Market-street
Railway Company had the first cali on the
patent, and has 1t yet, for that matter,
| and the system would be in operation now
were it not for certain obstacles. What

SWITCHING OF THE CURRENT
Negotiations Pending With Promi
nent Cable Companies in New
York and Chicago.

The electrical device for an underground
trolley Just perfected by Alfred Rosennolz
of this City seems destined to revolutlonize
the electric street railway systems of the
United States.
The inventor, Mr.. Rosenholz, being q
resident of San Francisco, naturally gave
the Market-street Railway Company the
first opportunity for using the patent on
its numerous lines, but since then some
of the wealthiest street railway corpora
tions of the East have been bidding for
the new device. Notably among them are
cable company of Chicago operating 15C
miles of cable tracks in the windy city
company of Buffalo, n. Y, and promi
nent corporation of New York City.
There are a few underground trolley
systems now in operation in some of the
Eastern cities, but they have proved Sc
expensive that in many instances the over
head trolley has been substituted.
! Therein lies the inevitable success of tn,
Rosenholz system. The expense is re
/ duced to the minimum over both the
present overhead trolley and the under
ground wire. The result is accomplished
in the simplest manner, as Will appear
from a perusal of the following detailed
and technical description: The under
ground trolley wire operates in sections
After the car passes over a section tn,

Her ballast was then discharged and she

Mendocino coast last Wednesday at noon
and at 4 P. NJ. last Friday was reported
FRONT Point Reyes. She was hove-to off
the whistling buoy for rine hours, and
although expected in Friday night did not
arrive until yesterday morning.
The Elwell has been making good round

Captain C. Ryder is now over 5000 ahead

The whaleback City of Everett got in
Yesterday after run of ninety-one hours
from Puget Sound. From Cape Flattery
to within 200 miles of port heavy south
west swell was encountered and on sew
eral occasions the vessel rolled her rails
under ater. The Everett is one OF the
steadiest vessels that comes into this port,
| so the weather must have been pretty
| heavy that caused her to roll rail under.
Chief Officer James S. Gibson has retired
from the Everett and his place has been
taken by Captain }. B. Hastings. Mr..
Gibson has gone into the lumber business
on Vancouver Island. Among the pas
sengers on the steamer was Herman
Mahrer of Vancouver, B. G.. He has never
been to San Francisco in his life before
and he is just down on visit to see what
the metropolis of the Pacific Coast is like.
The Fish Commissioners steamer Alba
tross sailed for the Santa Barbara channel
Yesterday. During the trial trip of the
Oregon she will be used as stakeboat

and at nigh water in the morning she will
start for the proving ground. OF course
if the present heavy westerly swell con
tinues and the bar is breaking, she will
not attempt TO go out, as the contractor!
will take no risks.
The report of heavy weather on the
coast is borne out by the report of the
captain of the steamer Coos Bay. She was
nearly thirty-six hours late, and at time.

utilized only m that section of the trolley
over whicn the car is passing at the time.
With the present overhead and under
ground systems the current is perpetual
constant; no saving of power can possibly
be made.
1t can easily be applied to the tunnel or
conduit of any cable road, the trolley wire
dlsplacing the cable and being attached to
automatic electric switches placed at
proper distances within the conduit.
These switches, which are hermetically
sealed and absolutely watertight, are at
tached to the insulated main feed wire,
and when in their normal position cut off
the current to the trolley wire. When the
trolley, which Is placed beneath the car,
depresses switch the current passes
along short section of the trolley wire
and the switch is held in its temporarily
depressed position by an electro-magnet
inclosed within it, until the next switch is
reached and similarly depressed, and SO
on for the entire length of the line.
This ingenious and effective arrange
ment perfectly eliminates sparkling and
renders road 80 equipped ultra economi-
cal, as the trolley wire is not charged with
electricity except when car passes along
and depresses a switch. when, as before
stated, shortsection only is alive and
then merely for few seconds.
This effectualy prevents the enormous
waste of powerso disastrous to the finan-
cial success of other underground trolley
lines and will Permit of the profitable rum
ming OF roads when with any other system
of operation such would be impossible.
Through The excellent insulation OBJ
| tanned in this system, which Mr.. Rosen-
holz has brought down to practical perfec-
ton, much higher voltage can be used
| than heretofore, resulting in the saving oi
much weight % copper wiring, which is a
large item of lost in the equlpping of elec-
| trio railways. Very ingenious and practi-
cal methods for attaining his purposes
have been us.d by Mr.. Rosenholz as can
be seen by ths manner in which he pre-
vents waste power at points where the
conduit might become flooded with water
and clogged rith the refuse OF the street
II can easly be seen that the overhead
