must 90 on. The administration
maintained this attitude up until
within one week OF the date set for the
sale. Then, by sheer force Of the weeks
of wide publicity given to the propos-
ed outrage by the Democratic and in
dependent press of the country, the
President was compelled to give in un-
der the overwhelming pressure of pub
lie opinion and almost at the last mo-
ment he ordered postponment of the
sale. That settled it.. The deal was
off for good. Immediately the syndi-
cate put up 100000 more to cover the
deficiency in its bid on the main line
and will be compelled to put up s12.-l
100000 more before it gets hold
of the Kansas Pacific branch.
These, briefly, are the facts in the
case, and we rehearst them in order to
show what staunch and blindly faith
full organ Messrs Hanna and Mckinley
have in the Wheeling Intelligencer So
long as the administration refused to
interfere to stop the deal the organ had
nothing to say; indeed, on the morning
OF the very day when the people,
through the New York press, were first
acquainted with the administrations
ignominious breakdown before the fire
of publicity, the Fourteenth street or
gan came out in defense of the steal,
echoing the Times Herald of Chicago.
whose owner had a share in the deal.
That was last Tuesday morning, and
the Intelligencer then defended the
steal thus:
There is great deal Of nonsense being
INDUCED in by a certain class of papers
regarding the approaching sale of the
Union Pacific railroad under the fore
closure of the first mortgage. The New
York World is especially hysterical on
the subject and is calling on the Presi-
dent to stop what it alleges is STEAL"
Under the present circumstances,
Chat is, under the first bid of the Morgan
syndicate, which was twenty millions
shorD the government actually loses MOTH
ing, for it gets back all the money it ad-
vanced, with per cent. interest, and at
the same time rids itself of something
which has been a source of scandal from
the start.
Thus did the Intelligencer's Mr..
Hyde of Tuesday defend the pro-
posed robbery of the people because it
thought the administration would
carry out the deal. Now note the light
ming change from the Intelligencer's
Mr.. Hyde Of Tuesday to the Intelligent
GERS DR.. Jeykell of Thursday, after it
had discovered that the administration
had yielded to pressure and backed out
of the bargain:
No sooner had the Union Pacific syndi-
cate realized that President McKinley's
course was designed to head off the "gob-
Die, and defeat the effort to obtain pos
session OF the property at the expense Of
the people, than it came to terms and in
creased its bid to an amount that would
cover the entire government claim on
the main line, and withdrew its bid for
the Kansas Pacific. This is regarded as
a complete surrender by the syndicate
OF its plan to mulct the people of the
United States out Of $1,000 900.
On Tuesday the organ denied that it
was steal On Thursday it acknowl-
edged that it was a plan to mulct
the people of the United States out of
$2O,0OO,OOO
Further comment is unnecessary. AS
a faithful organ the Intelligencer takes
the palm.

TIE BERLIN THIRD RAIL
4 TRIAL TRIP WAS MADE HESTER
 DAY NOON.

Run From New Britain to Berlin in Five
 Minutes-Company officials and Forty
 five Passengers on Board.
 The first trip over the new third rail track from New Britain to Berlin was made to day at 12:90 ,o clock. The motor car had one closed coach for a trailer and the trip took the place of the regu- lar 12:90 passenger steam train. Head Motorman William L. Evans handled the motor, and Conductor John Graham looked after the passengers. The off, cials of the company on board were General Superintendent c. H. Platt of New Haven, Vice-President John M. Hall of New Haven, Colonel N. H. Heft chief of the electrical department, Road Master Hamilton and Division Super intendent Davison of Hartford. MT. Davison superintended the trip.
 The run from the passenger station in New Britain to the Berlin depot was made In five minutes, and the return trip in six minutes. Motorman Evans was compelled to slow up, on the re- turn trip near the American Hosiery factory in New Britain on account of 8 number of girls who were going down the track to work.
 At Berlin the officials of the compa- ny inspected the power house and ex- pressed themselves satisfied with the working of the machinery. There were fifty regular passengers on the down trip and thirty on the return. No extra power was required for the operation of the car. The run from New Britain to Berlin was made over the new track, which was not completed until late this morning.
 The return to New Britain was made over the old track. The cars moved quite as smoothly over the new rail as the old, and with much less jolting than over the line to Hartford.
 The steam trains will not be taken off the Berlin line until next Tuesday, when the new combination baggage and pas senger cars are expected to arrive. The experiment of handling transfer freight will not be tried until President Clark returns home from Europe.

The double tracking of the New York New Haven & Hartford railroad be- tween New Britain and Berlin, which has been in the works for some time, has been practically completed and in a few days third rail service will be opened between those two points. It is proposed to use both tracks each of which is equipped with the third rail, for both electric and steam service, electricity to be used for passenger ser- vice and steam for freight. There has been a great deal of work connected with this addition to the third rail ser vice and it is to be regarded as only the beginning of further development in electric transit. It is possible that an attempt will be made to run freight trains by the third rail. The grade from Berlin to New Britain is an es- pecially heavy one, fifty feet to the mile and the test of the new line will be as severe as any that can be made in this section. It is expected that the motors will do the work all right and no diffi- culty is anticipated.
