What Electricity Will Do.
From the Chicago Tribune,


The Institute of Electrical Engineers has
been in session at Great Darlington, Mass.
Out of speculations on high potential
stress" tracing instruments" and "elec-
trostatic Watt meters have come aspira-
tions toward heating towns from central
stations, cooking meals by means of a cur
rent supplied from power house, and
running trains across the continent at an
average speed of $50 miles an hour
Some Of the more conservative electri-
clans, however, are a little bit dubious
about the immediate triumph of electrical
machinery. Performance has SO often out
stripped expectation in the modern world
that in the endeavor to catch up expecta-
ton sometimes loses itself in the next
century. In the matter of railroads, for
instance, the substitution Of electricity for
steam will come, but slowly. Where there
are only few trains a day the electric
current, which must be continuously main
tanned, is an unsurmountable expense. 1t
is only where there Is rapid succession
Of trains that electric power is economical.
One is quite willing to believe, however,
with President Steinmetz that electricity
is still in its swaddling clothes" When 1t
grows up to maturity. 1t will, no doubt,
prove to be a Joseph among the motive
forces which are it's elder brethren.

sible, and to act as guides whenever neces-
sary.
TRANSPORTATION will also be at hand, and
experienced guides will be on duty at Get

Petersburg; 1t is proposed that these

tation, quarters, etc. They, together with
members of the committee on battlefield

where local guides will not be available,
will also be designated by special badges,

1T is suggested that whenever practi-
cable comrades should organize into par

their trips to these battlefelds. They will
thus command more attention and can
make better arrangements for hotel ac-
commodations and such transportation as
they may require other than th4t furnished

RAILWAYS OF EGYPT.
Lines Constructed and Operated by the
State.

From the Railway Magazine
Most of the railways in Egypt have been
built and are owned by the state There
is story told of the old Cairo to Suez line,
first opened in 1859, which shows how
easily its conductors used to take matters
On one occasion, the engine of the mail
train was found short of water in the mid
die of run. Consequently it was un-
coupled and sent to the next water tank
to have the tender filled, while the train
was left alone on the road for an hour or
twoi Irregularities like these and acci-
dents frequently occurred, which brought
the line into discredit. and in 1865 one wear
before the opening of the Suez canal Il
Was-at least temporarily-abandoned.
The Alexandria line is now considered
the crack line of Egypt. Ii is by far the
most frequented line in the country as re-
CARDS passenger as well as goods traffic
and the only one having double track from
END to end. There are no fewer than eight
trains daily each way between Cairo and
Alexandria, besides some local trains he
tween country stations. OF these eight
trains four are fast ones doing the tourney

THE PLAN OUTLINED
MR.. WILLIAM HAHN DISCUSSES
THE TRADE PROJECT.
Addition of Names to Various Com
mittees-Reception at Pension Bu-
reau-Third Army Corps.

Many prominent automobiles met this
morning with Chairman B. H. Warner Of
the citizens executive committee on the
1902 encampment of the Grand Army Of
the Republic and discussed the proposed
parade of horseless carriages during the
reunion 1t was agreed such under
taking might be made a most attractive
adjunct to the encampment; that Washing
ton offered peculiar advantages for an au-
tomobile display, and that the support of
prominent owners might easily be OBJ
tanned.
In their present form, the plans of the
committee provide for parade of auto
mobiles decorated with flowers and en-
tirely free from advertisements. 1t is
argued that the line could be limited in
length, the exhibits could be properly
supervised by the committee in charge,
bands of music might be carried at inter-
ValS iii the line, and the whole affair given
the character of beautiful and unique
floral display. Several gentlemen were
suggested to head the committee, among
them Senator William A. Clark and Rep
resentative o. H. p. Belmont, but no Sc
lection was made.
The effect of this mornings meeting was
to give the project a much more definite
form than it has had heretofore and prac-
ticaliy to insure an automobile parade for
Monday. October s. the first day of the en-
campment festivities
The Trade Feature.
Mr.. William II. Hahn of the executive
committee made the following statement
today to Secretary Bulkley:
Many merchants of the city have called
upon me with reference to my statement
in The Star of few days ago upon the
prospective trade incident to the Grand
Army encampment and the method by
which the same might be increased and
aided in October next. I wish it under
stood that what I had to say was intended
as suggestion for thought by our mer-
chants, and l have been, fear. misunder-
stood as suggesting any definite plan of
giving discount at any time. The Busi-
ness Mems Association has outlined moth
ing definite in this matter. But 1t Is clear
ly of the opinion that there should be a
closer union and fuller cooperation among
the merchants of our city. The shops Of
Washington are as well and better equip
ped for business as are those in our largest
cities. 1t Is a significant fact that a good
many of Our buyers come from Baltimore.
What I am anxious to develop is a senti-
ment that will encourage and attract to
the city of Washington the trade of all the
outlying districts. There is no reason why
the shoppers within a radius of twenty or
even 100 miles of Washington should seek
other cities to do business, when here at
the nations capital we have facilities sur
passed by none. This encampment in Oc-
tOher will undoubtedly present an oppor-
tunity for an enlarged fall trade. and | am
glad to note that it Is receiving the en-
couragement of our merchants generally.
There will be immense concourse of
people in the city at that time and business
will be inevitably benefited.

In connection with the publication of the

ing that about score of names were omit
ted. Some of these have been added to the
several committees since the preparation of
the original lists. The others were omitted,
it is stated. through the mistakes of copy
lists. which invariably occur in the COM
pnation of any roll which includes 300
names or more. To insure absolute accu-
racy in the final lists for the souvenir pro
gram. Secretary Bulkley is sending to each
committee chairman his full committee

he may deem necessary.

this morning follows:
Over 1000 names have been received as
