Last night was to have been the last of the
present Fourth street cable line, and by day
break, 1t was expected to have several miles
of the wire rope on the big spool at Fourth

At o'clock this mornings however, the
work of taking out the cable had not been be-
gun. sr-
1t was stated at the Offices Of the company
last night. however, that tho electric service
from St Anthony hill would be effective this
morning ,sr
Under this plan the electric cars will run
on Selby avenue to Harrington, thence over
temporary tracks to the Rondo line. and
thence down and around the loop. This will
cut off from street facilities those people
residing along the present cable line between
Harrington avenue and the Seven corners.

SPANS ONLY CHANCE.
If a Cyclone Should Destroy the
American Fleet.

IF a Cyclone Should Destroy the
American Fleet.
WASHINGTON. June 2.-Mr. Henry Nor
man. editor Of the London Daily Chronicle.
tonight cables his paper as follows:
'The navy department is without official
news of the fight at Santiago. although the
papers continue to supply fresh details. The
probability is that Commodore Schley took
active measures to stop the Spaniards erec.-
ing earthworks or because a Spanish war
vessel showed herself, but the affair has
been grossly exaggerated.
Whether the troops have sailed from
Tampa is equally uncertain, 1t being asserted
and denied here with equal confidence.
"All these details. however, are in reality
unimportant. The main outlines of the stu
alton perfectly clear. and are not likely.
to change. BY no chance short of cyclone
sending the entire American squadron to
the bottom can Spain's position be improved.
She must lose Cuba and Porto Rico. but 1T
Is within the, bounds Of possibility that she
may ultimately regain the Philippines by q
prompt equalization.

Northern Pacific Stocks Abroad.

From Railroad Record and Investors Guide.
OF the high estimation in which Ameri-
can securities are held by the ''plain people,
of Great Britain is the fact that upward
OF 10000 shares of Northern Pacific preferred
stock, all in ten-share certificates, have this
month been shipped to London. This may be
taken as conclusive evidence that Northern
Pacifics, and doubtless other stocks of like
substantial character, are being absorbed in
important volume by small investors abroad
In this connection, too, the statement is
made that since the first of the year Scotch
holdings of Northern Pacific securities have
more than doubled. Stocks thus taken DO
not soon again come upon the market
