PUTTING ON VESTIBULES.
The First Vestibuled Car Of the City
Railway IS about Completed.

By November 1st every motor car run
ming on the lines Of the Topeka Railway
company in Topeka viii have on either
end OF it a neat VeStibule. Three St.
Louis carpenters, all expert car-makers,
have arrived and they are placing the
vestibules on the 80 closed motor cars of
the Topeka railway. 1t is no easy job
TO attach a vestibule to a car platform
which was built originally to be open.
The pieces for the framework were made
in North Topeka and the windows are
nearly all taken from old street cars
owned by the company.
Extending upward from the front fen
der of the platform of the car there is a
solid wooden front about "A inches in
height. From this to the hood of the
car three windows are placed. The mid
die window Will slide to one side when
desired. This comprises the front of the
platform. On the right hand side of the
front end and the left hand side of the
rear of the cars a solid framework is be
ing placed which cannot be opened. There
is a long window in the upper part of
this. Accordingly passengers leaving leav-
ing q car from the rear will have to get
out on the right side of the track and
the liability of being bumped with a troll
ley pole or a passing car is obviated.
A change will have to be made in the
turning of switches. AIotOrmen will not
the vestbule. especially on the right side
This will probably result in an order re-
quiring the conductors to turn the
switches.
On the left side a motOrman might lean
out from the side of the Vestibule and
turn the switch, but on the other side he
could not, as it is tightly closed. Motor
men generally are greatly pleased at the
prospect of having something to shield
them from the cold. Conductors mostly
are opposed to it. They realize that their
duties will be increased somewhat by
them. in turning switches and in manaE-
ing the trolley.
On the short platforms which are on
the Topeka railway cars room on the
platforms will be somewhat curtailed, as
both the brake rod and trolley rod have
to be set in so that the handles will not
touch the vestibule.
one vestibuIe has been put on ccr
and it will be painted and the car put in
service as soon as possible. in order to
make room for other cars. The work
men imported to do the work are up in
their line and will do fast work. Haste
will be necessary. as the law requires
that the vestibules shall be in use by
November l. About one vestibule a day |
will be the rate of progress

COLONIAL POLICY FOR CUBA
The New Minister Favors Reciprocity
With U. s.

Washington Oct. THE friends of reci-
procity are encouraged to believe that
the selection of Senor Moret as minister
OF the colonies in the new Spanish cabi-
net Will lead to an Improvement of the
commercial relations between the United
States and Cuba. Moret is the recog-
nized exponent of reciprocity in Spain
and he first came into public notice by
embracing the views of Bastial and urg-
ing complete free trade.
The Spanish tariff law then as now
contained two columns, one of them Civ
ing reduced duties to countries entering
into reciprocity arrangements with Spain.
Moret advocated still a third column,
making retaliatory rates against coun-
tries not entering into reciprocity and
designed to make reciprocity a matter of
commercial necessity. These views are
said to indicate that the new minister
will advocate a colonial policy giving
Cuba the largest possible measure of
reciprocity with the United States under
the Dingley law.
