view Of the work performed thus far
 by the present administration and na-
 turally most people look forward to
 the re-nomination of Mayor kilduff to
 succeed himself without opposition.
 But. as we have said. it is hard for q
 public man to please everybody, and
 in consequence, no one will be sur
 priscd to hear that others are being
 talked of in connection with thc demo-
 cratic nomination for mayor: The re-
 porter was informed last night by eX-
 cellent authority that already q move
 ment has assumed tangible shape in
 the interest of w. F. Thoms in con
 nection with tho nomina ton and that
 no effort will be spared to push it. He is said to have the backing of Judge Lowe and others, some of whom are office holders and others who have tried their luck iii that direction. but did not happen to succeed. Rumor also has it that in case the conSOlda- tion bill passes Selectman DOran will be Dut forward as q candidate for | mayor. Besides these there arc Deo- pie who state that in the event of | Mayor Kilduff not receiving a re- nomination, which they consider very improbable, the logical candidate 1 would be eN-Comptroller James J. | Cassin. who. aside from the present | incumbent of the office of mayor. is i credited with possessing q better | knowledge of municipal affairs than
 any man in the city, republican or l democrat

Work Stopped Temporarily Owing to
 Encroachment on Building Line
 There is d hitch in the progress ot the work on the proposed cold storage house of the Hell mann Brewing Co on Bank street that is not likely to be strengthened out for some time It seems that the buildings project nine or ten inches beyo the building line. and as soon as Engineer Cairns heard this he stopped the work. The thing has occasioned considerable talk i'll that part Of the town since it was started and the city officials have been getting Hail Columbia for not taking some action in the premises long be- fore this hour of the day. Some of the property owners claim that all the land was sold there on condition that buildings be kept back ten feet from the street line and that all the private residences have complied With this provision and that the erection of this plant was going to do an immense amount of damage to nei@hborinS property in case it should stand out into the street. No doubt the public think it was an oversight and will be remedied in a manner which will meet the approval of all parties concerned. obliged to enforce any agreement the people may have entered into with whoever they bought the land from and the action taken by the engineer is based on the building line question.

CHANGE IN RAILWAY SERVICE
Emperor William Expresses Himself
 in Favor of the Change.

Washington, D. C.. Feb oS.-It is re-
 ported that Emperor William has eX-
 pressed himself in favor of com
 Dlete change in the entire German rall-
 way service, according to q commu-
 ncation received at the state depart
 mnnt from Consul General Guenther
 at Frankfort. At an audience recent ly had by Privy Councillor Eath@nau. a
 promoter of great electrical enterDriS- eS. the latter gave the emperor de tailed information. emphasizing the ne- cesSity of constructing electrical rail ways for direct and rapid connection between Berlin and the principal cit ies of the German empire. He a'~- brought out the fact that a great ma tional triumph would be gained if Germany could be the leader in the creation of an entire electrical railway system.
 The German secretary of war has plac1d the military line from Berlin | to ZoSsen at the disposal of the pro- l moters. who are urging upon the gov l ernmcnt this mode of -"ave1 for eN- 1 perimental purposes. This line is IS | miles in length and it is boped that q speed of from 125 to 1:,5 miles an hour 1 can be attained. The cars each will accommodate fifty passengers and will l look very much like the sleeping cars now in use. If these trial runs prove satisfactory a great step towards the utilization of electricity as the sole railway motive power will ''avn hean gained. and says the consul general. .'tha time will not he distant when it l will be possible to travel. for example. i from Berlin to Hamburg in a little ! over an hour. in cars which will follow l each other at intervals of ten minutes" :" For the purpose of furtherin@ this project a number of prominent indus 1 trial and banking firms some time ago 1 formed a society for Investigation.
 which Dr Schulz. president of the Inn | perial railway department, at the head. Consul General Guentnor saws in | conclusion: "By raising tho Sneod. which now averages thirty-seven miles | per hour for fast trains. 10 77| r1'''as | per holIr and by diSDatchn" the cars | Singlv. the ideal rn;'---~- of the future will have been reached"

an Asylum in Another State.
 New York. Feb 2S.-At a special session of the court of probate at New port, R. l , says a special to the Fri bune, testimony was taken on the aD- plication of William S. Blake of Bos- ton, for the appointment of q guar dian of the person and estate of Ed ward Parker Deacon, at present con fined in Mclean asylum at Somerville, Mass. MT Blake said that he was trustee nnder the will of Mir Deacon s grandfather and eXecutor of the cS- tate of his mother. The trusteeship had terminated. and it was necessary to have some one authorized to collect dividends and do business for MT Dea- con, who was incapable of doing any thing. Evidence was submitted to show that at the time MT Deacon was committed to the asylum. Newport was his home. and that there his per sonal property taxes are still paid.
 pr Charles $. Little of the Mclean asylum testified that MT Deacon is 'ln- able to recognize any one or remem- Der anything and cannot recover. There is no contest. the only question being as to whether the court can grant guardianship of the person when as in this case the person is out of the state. The case was continued un- til Monday.

The Growth of Golf.

A surprising growth in the game of golf in America is shown by liar per's official golf guide for 1901, just published.
