 Long Distance Railroads.

Long Distance Railroads.
 Berlin, April 9.--Herr Von Thielen the Prussian minister of public works |, speaking before the Diet to-day on the railway budget, referred to the applica- tion of broad gauge, long distance rail- ways.

The insulation was never wholly per eCt, continued the speaker, and he was, therefore, convinced that the high power, long train system could not be adopted for general introduction. The authorities were negotiating, how ever with an electrical company. said Herr Won Thielen to introduce electrical traction on all trains between Cross lictenfeldt (seven miles from Berlin) and the German capital, with prospects of better success.
 Referring to the high velocity attain ed during the single car experiments on the military road between Berlin and Zossen, where speed of a hun minister said he hoped for increased speed through the strengthening of road bers, though he was still doubtful as to whether high speed electrical Trac- tlon was profitable.
