LONDON'S UNDERGROUND ROAD

The American companies obtained
the entire contract to equip the Lon
don Underground Railway, including
the electric locomotives, under the
following guarantees: Efficiency of
steam engine at full load, condens-
ing 90 per cent; efficiency of
three-phase generators, without
the field magnets, 95 Fer cent; aver
age efficiency Of transmissin Of cur
rent from the power house to the 10
comotives, including the loss in trans
forming the current from a high vol
tage to low voltage under a full load
80 per cent; efficiency of the locomo-
Jives under full load, 80 per cent
The entire length of the new iine is
81 miles, and there will be ten sta
tons between the two terminals. At
each station there will be large cleo
trio elevators to carry the passengers
to and from the street. The train
service will be carried on by 80 trains
of cars each, the seat:n capacity OF
each train being 1856 passengers. The
average speed of the trains is to be IA
miles on hour, including 20 second
stops at each station. The maximum
speed between stations will be 80
miles an hour. The trains will be run
at first on 211s minute Roadway. In
order to obtain these speeds with the
smallest expenditure Of cost, an ia
teresting expedient has been res rted
to in the construction of the tunnels.
Instead Of building it on a level or
with constant grades from station to
station, the separate tunnels which
carry the tracks are run in series Of
dips. The train upon leaving sta
ton will Immediately start down an
incline, SO that gravity shall add to the
acceleration of its speed. When it
approaches a station it will run up
grade, which will stop it with little
use Of the brakes. Each train with
out the locomotive will weigh 105 long
tons and with the locomotive LAT long
tons, but with the dipping tracks only
ly 100 horse power will be needed for
each train.-Scientitic american.

 Colonel Paty du Clam was then called and refused to testify. M. Laborie urged the importance of his testimony, adding that unless the court ordered the witness to testify he might be com pelled to demand an adjournment until 1 the next session. Counsel also said he was not prepared to oppose a secret trial, If it was absolutely necessary, But continued NJ Laborie, "the ale gation that the matter they discussed was connected with state secrets and national defense was a mere joke
 The Advocate-Gen then protested against the national defense being called a joke, to which NJ. Laborie hotly replied that he would not permit any one, not even the Advocate-Ge to cast suspicion on his patriotism. [Cheersl
 Addressing the jury, M. Laborie said: The proof we wish to show you Is so striking that our own opponents are making efforts to prevent it's be- coming known. Nevertheless, if 1t is necessary, I will declare it alone, with out witnesses. If I fa1l Dreyfus will remain in the galleys. where he was placed by a. law expressly made for him" Violent protests.l

M Laborie further contended that Major Esterhazy was prosecuting Mime. Boulancy in order to prevent her from surrendering the let ters.
 Counsel for the Aurore supported M. Laborie's request for the appearance of Mme Boulancy, and urged the court to obtain a verification of her alleged ill health.
 Later on M Laborie insisted that the dispositions made before the examining magistrate be read in court. This was opposed by the Advocate General on the ground that the examination was not concluded.
 M. Laborie then violently protested against the absence of the subpenaed witnesses, and, referring to the non appearance of General Mercier, said: When he was Minister of War he sub- mitted to the judges of Dreyfus, behind the backs of the prisoner and his coun- sel, secret document, which, how ever, he said, was unimportant. If this document as he declared, was unim- portant, then the incident is ended and there is no further need for General Mercier's testimony but if, as alleged, the scret document did not exist let General Mercier come and tell the court so, and our side will be satisfied"

Special Dispatch to The call.

NEW YORK. Feb "A Washington special to the Herald says: There is no change in our relations with Spain. There is nothing concealed under the surface as to the Presidents policy. No coup is meditated at present or in the immediate future. Pessimistic press dispatches from Madrid and Havana show this Is the exact condition of af- fairs.
 President Mckinley and his Cabinet are serene. They are neither seeking nor fearing trouble. At present there Is not the slightest cause for anxiety on the part of any citizen. This morn ing's dispatches from Madrid speak of a new note delivered to the Spanish Government on Saturday by Minister Woodford and also replied to fin vigor- ous fashion" by the Minister of For eign Affairs. AS matter of fact Min ister Woodford presented no new note on Saturday. Six or seven weeks ago this Government did send to Madrid an answer to note which had been received from Spain in response to the communication delivered by General Woodford earlier in the year, or shortly after his arrival at his post. If the Spanish Government has just made a reply tx any note of ours ft is to this one of last December, but the reply cannot be of serious or critical nature, for up to tonight the State De- partment had received no word con- corning it from General Woodford.
 It was officially announced at the Navy Department to-day that the sec ond-class battle-ship Maine would re- main at Havana. It was generally expected that the vessel would join the Texas during the present week and proceed to New Orleans to represent the navy at the Mardi Gras festival to be held on January 21 and p. In fact it was stated at the department on Sat urday last that orders directing the execution of this programme would be issued in a few days.
 Communication between the Presi- dent and State and Navy departments has caused the change in the pro- gramme, and the Maine will now stay in Havana harbor for an indefinite period" It is stated that all is quiet at Havana. but now that an American ship is there it Is desired to keep her at that port to protect American inter ests should they be endangered.

PARIS, Feb. 7.-The trial of M. Emile Zola and M. Perreux, manager of the Aurore, who are being prosecuted by the Government as the result of a letter which the novelist caused to be pub lishel in the Aurore in December last, strongly ref1ecting upon high officials connected with the Dreyfus case, opened to-day in the Assizes Court of the Seine. NJ. Zola was represented by M. Laborie and NJ. Perrieux was de- tended by M. Clemenceau.
 The most keen public interest was manifested in the case. Hundreds of people surrounded the court anxious to gain admittance. The crowds in creased in number all the morning.
 The arrival of Henri Rochefort was the signal for shouts of "Yive Roche fort" and counter-cries of "A bas Rochefort." Turning in the direction of the hostile cries, M. Rochefort shouted: Tt would seem that with four of you at five francs apiece the Dreyfus syndicate will not be ruined. "
 M. Zola, who arrived in a carriage shortly afterward, was greeted with ve- hement shouts of "Conspuez Zola" (spit upon Zola). An individual who shouted 'Vive Zola" was promptly hustled and suppressed.
 The proceedings commenced at p. m, under the presidency of NJ. de La Gorgue, who announced that the court would be cleared if there was any dem onstration.
 Although the court was thronged. quiet was maintained, owing to the knowledge that a company of repup- lican guards had been placed at the disposal of the judge to preserve order.
 While tie jury was being selected M. Zola entered the dock. He was pale. 4 few cries of "Vive Zola' were promptly suppressed by the vigorous protests Of the majority of t audi ence.
 After the reading of tho indictment the advocate-g general explained that the charge was strictly limited to the passage in M. Zola's letter denouncing the Esterhazy court martial
 Continuing the advocate general said 1t was imperative to prevent the pro- ceedings from wandering and thus playing into the hands of the accused, whose aim it Is to get a revision of the Dreytus affair by a circuitous route"
 The court decided to allow the ac- cused to call evidence In support of the other charges contained in his letter. including the accusations which he made against Colonel Paty du Clam and. Generals Mercier, Boisdeffre. Eliot and Pellieux. M de La Gore,,e read number of letters of excuse. in- cluding one from the Minister of Jus tice, M. Darlan. announcing that the Minister for War. General Billot. had not received the authority of the Cabi- net to testify. General de La Gorgue also read a letter from ex-President Casimir-Perier, saying he could not

This attempt to drag the former Min ister of War into the witness stand caused much commotion in court, which was increased when on several members of the Dreyfus court-martial refusing to testify M. Zola rose up in the dock and indignantly cried, we must know if these persons are acting under the orders of the Minister of War or their own volition."
 General Boisdeffre was then called and claimed exemption on the ground of professional secrecy, whereupon M. Laborie shouted, "One would really think all these officers imagined they form a separate caste, above all rights, and that they are totally exempt from the laws and the respect due to jus tice."
 The court then ordered a short ad- journment until 4:3O D. m., in order to allow M. Laborie to draft his argument
 On the resumption of the hearing NJ Laborie made speech demanding that the witnesses be ordered to attend and testify. Counsel for M. Zola deposited with the court written applications re- questing the court to order the sub penaed witnesses to appear.
 Regarding Colonel Paty du Clam, the application charges him with illegal acts in the Dreyfus and Esterhazy af- fair, claiming that if these acts are proved in court the good faith of the accused will be demonstrated. There fore, Colonel Paty du Clam should be compelled to testify, or without pre- iudice to the right of the appellants, counsel would demand the postpone ment of the trial to later sessions, if necessary.
 M. Laborie further affirmed that he is prepared to show that the letters which Colonel Paty du Clam alleges ''the yelled lady" sent him, prejudicing
