ADJOURNED WITHOUT ACTION.
No Quorum Present at the Washing
ton Traction Directors Meeting.

NEW YORK. May 29-The meeting of
the directors of the Washington Traction
and Electric Company, of Washington.
d. c., held at the offices of the United
States Mortgage and Trust Company to-
day, was adjourned until Friday on ac-
count Of no quorum being present. A
number of the Washington officers and di-
rectors were present at the meeting, in
Guiding the president, vice president, and
secretary, and it was generally believed
that matters of Importance regarding the
present affairs and future policy of the
company were to be discussed. This was
denied after the meeting adjourned by
President Young, OF the United Ssstes
Mortgage and Trust Company, who is
one of the directors and principal factors
in the company's affairs.
President Young was seen at his office
late in the afternoon. He was asked il
the meeting had been held for the pur-
pose of taking up the question of the pro-
posed reorganization of the company and
replied very succinctly that it was not.
He would say nothing further regarding
the meeting except that 1t was adjourned
and would convene again on Friday.
Friday. June l. is the day on which the
interest on the Washington Traction
Companys bonds will become due. Va
rious rumors have been afloat regarding
the possibilities that this interest will or
will not be paid on time. The chief story
has been that the interests behind the
company have arranged a reorganization
plan which will involve the scaling down
of the bond issue and provide that the
present interest payment shall not be
made in cash.
An official of the company who was
seen after the meeting stated that after
a brief discussion the meeting was ad-
journed until Friday afternoon. Neither
this official nor any of the directors would
state what action would be taken in re-
gard to the bondholders. 1t was also i'm
possible to get any expression of opinion
as to whether or not the interest would
be paid.

The insiders seem to have determined
to give the stock market an upturn, for
the present at least. There were excel
lent indications toward the close yester-
day afternoon that people of the largest
Importance in the financial and railway
world were heavy buyers Of securities

possible inference to be deduced from this
Is that they wish TO put prices higher and

look IS that there viii be a strong market

that the American voters are quite
ripe for the election Of United States
senators by popular vote. The
many legislative deadlocks that have
been reported during the present
year over the election Of United
States senators in the various states
having such to elect have done much
toward crystallizing this idea. The
Legislatures Of the various states
either fail to elect United States SEN
ators at all or they elect those per
sons to the United States senate who
are able to pay the highest and best
prices for a sufficient number OF
votes to guarantee their election.
Under the present system no man
can be elected to the United States
senate from any state in this Union
without spending all the way from
fifty to one hundred thousand dol
lars In the attempt. Yea. some even
spend more than that and yet are de-
feated. There is no doubt but that
the voters can be trusted to elect a
United States senator at the polls,
the same as a congressman, and it is
to be hoped that the idea has so well
shaped itself and so firmly fixed it.
self into the minds Of the voters, not
only of this state, but in every state
in the Union, that the ffty-eighth
congress will find itself practically
compelled to submit the proposition
to the various states for ratification
and, if it does, it will carry by a
three-fourths majority in practically
every state in the Union.

a crude dogma Of puppets mind.

yesterdays escapade in the legisla-

fact that he was strong candidate

Should he have been successful in
his efforts in that direction it looks

the house with an iron hand-those
opposing him would have been either
killed or crippled, as he saw fit, that
his will might be law. East

Permit us to say, Br'er, Church,
that Republican members Of legisla-

Republican party solely, but they are
generally broad-gauged enough to
make laws to benefit everybody in

a Democrat to enact and pass parti-
san laws, and they generally do so to
a queens taste, when they have
enough votes to do so.
