Now Comedies the Right of way.


Now Comedies the Right of way.
There has always been one driver
that the cable gripman has let have his
own way, and that is the driver of the
giant truck with the load of iron
beams. The power in the engine that
moves the cable is ample to brush away
the great truck as it would hand cart.
But there would be no adequate means
of applying it, and this the cable car
does not supply. Heavy as it is, it is not
nearly so heavy as the big truck with
the iron beams. In a collision with that
the car would be wrecked and left be-
hind, while the cable sung merrily on
below. The gripman knows this, and
so, while he bangs the gong, he doesn't
really mean to go on until the driver
of the great truck has turned out.
There is now another moving thing
that the gripman does not try to brush
off the face of the Garth, and that is
the ponderous road roller, such as is
used in the city in the making of as
phalt pavemcnts. These rollers 90 from

ly but with irresistible power. Some
times they cross the cable tracks or
move along in the same street With
a road roller ahead the gripman slams
the gong as usual, but it is purely a
forrial notice. There arc now two men
70 whom the gripman comedies the
right Of way-thc driver of the giant
truck with the iron beams and the
pilot OF the steam road roller.

partmeut of the East, and Then Shaf-
ter Expects to Go to California.
New York, oct. 3.-General William
Ehafter arrived in this city yesterday
from Montauk Point, and went to Gov
ernors Island this morning to take COM
mand of the department of the east, to
which he has been assigned. He was
accompanied by Major j. ID. Miey, his
aide. When asked last night if he eX-
Eected to remain long i'm command of
the department of the east, General
Shafter said:
Il expect to remain in charge of the
department OF the east until General
Wesley Merritt arrives from Manila.
On his arrival l expect he will assume
command of the department and l will
return to the Pacific coast and resume
charge of the department of the Pa
ciflc. like California, and l want to
make it my permanent home. During
my command there 1 made many
friends, and l like the climate and as
sociations there"
When General Shafter was asked If
ported to have said that he knew
nothing of General Skaters appoint
ment, in charge of the department of
the east, General Shafter replied: Il
know nothing whatever of the matter;
l have not met General Gillespie yet
and do not know whether he is at Gov
ernors Island, in this city or Wash
iDEton."
When General Shafter was asked if
he had been summoned to testify be-
fore the commission appointed to in
vestigate army matters, he said: Il
have not yet been notified to appear be-
fore the commission When l am noti-
fed to appear, I will do so. / do not
know what l could say of Importance,
but If 1 am wanted l shall certainly
respond to any notification"
General Shafter was asked if he
thought the present army was held in
readiness without mastering out any
more soldiers for the purpose of await
ing the decision of the Paris council.
He said: There are not enough soldiers
now to garrison all the posts. There is
need of 100, 900 soldiers for that purpose.
/ do not know what the intention of the
war department is. 1t may be that the
soldiers are being held in the event of
trouble occurring in the Philippines,
Cuba or Porto Rico. Everything is in
allegiance now. l have no definite
knowledge of what the war department
intends, but it is certainly safe to hold
a large number Of the soldiers in readi-
ness"
Concerning the controversy between
General Miles and the war department
he said: "I have no statement whatever
| to make. / have nothing whatever to
| complain about, 1 did my duty as l
| thought best and tried to do it faith
fully for the best interests of all. 1t
will be time enough to make state
ments when my superiors complain
and call me to account There is no use
