READY FOR WORK.
Suburban Railway Company Will Soon
Begin Operations.
Automobile Company May Establish Line Of
Cross Town 0mnhuses.

The Rhode Island Suburban Railway
company. which has just received its
charter from the General Assembly and
which is really an annex of the Union
Railroad company, is getting ready for
work Three petitions have been drawn
and will be presented in Cranston, War
wick and East Greenwich. and this
means the opening up of large tract
of territory, and several new branches
TO connect with the Oakland Beach rail-
road.
According to General Manager Potter,
the Rhode Island Suburban Railroad
will operate the Warwick and Oakland
Beach branch Of the Consolidated road
IL, and that is all. There is no inten-
ton at present To outside of Grams
ton, Warwick and East Greenwich. One
feature will be that the Pawtuzet Val
ley road will be connected with the
shore places by an extension from the
trestle Westcott's 10 Apponaug and
East Greenwich and Buttonwoods and
10 the Sea View road at the Nortn
Kingston line.
Manager Potter states also that cars
Will be run every 10 minutes, II neces-
Sary, dIlnOuEn the cars VIII pTODdDly
be run every half-hour in the winter.
wth extra cars at the rush times when
they are needed. In summer they Will
run at more frequent intervals, OF
-eeuFse.-Aif the cars called for by the
patronage will be run.
Another important corporation is the
Rhode Island Automobile Transit com
pany. which will be organized under it's
new charter in a few days. While the
company's plans are not thoroughly
formulated. il is sad by one Of the in
company will establish first a line of
omnibuses in such places as Ii seems to
us that they are needed He said:
For instance, we might start in this
city with a cross-town line at those
points where IL is now impossible to get
to another line of cars without taking
car down town and then changing
to the line desired. II seems as though
this would meet popular demand and
at the same time would not interfere
with the railroad company to any ex-
tent"
IL VIII probably be some time before
anything is done however. as the model
OF carriages To he used has not yet been
decided upon. but tie company hopes
to do something during the present
summer IT Is also likely that after the
line of omnibuses has been established
the company may branch out and put
in line OF hacks In those places where

would be a profitable venture

London, Dec. 21.-Dispatches from

But they are arriving more freely,
which shows that the censorship has
been relaxed. There appears to be no
great change in the situation. a dis

British naval guns at Colenso have

sortie last night. Gen. Hunter, with

Maxim. One Briton killed. The Boer
gunners fled"
There is an idea in some quarters
that Gen. Buffers destruction Of the
Tugela bridge heralds an attempt to
cut off the Beers now south of the
river, but the general opinion is that
the British will not make any serious
move pending the arrival of Lord Rob
