ELECTRICITY TRIUMPHS.
The Santa Fe Railway Company VIII Return TO the Use
Of Electricity on Its Cars

| After about year of eXpensiva oad
exhaustive experiment the Santa Fa
has decided to abandon Pintsch gas on
it's passenger cars and continue gener-
ally the use of electricity. In accord
ance with that decision, the Pullman
company, which Is operating 20 cars
upon which apparatus for axle lighting
was placed, to remain provided the
experiments were successful, will pur-
chase the dynamos, storage batteries
and other parts outright The tests
have been very rigid and the results
have been transmitted to Third Vice
President Kendrick by system of
daily reports. Within the last few
months the comparison of illuminants
narrowed down between electricity and
Pintsch gas. Previous to that acety-
lene gas had cut some ngure, but after
about $4,000 worth of the finest pas
senger equipment was burned and
three porters put out of service by in
juries resulting from the explosions,
that was dropped from the list and its
further use abandoned. The advant-
ages which the incandescent light has
fold nature: In summer the electricity
does not produce nearly the heat in
cars that the gas does. The electrical
fluid may be converted into power by
means of which fans for cooling the
air in cars may be run; and likewise
toI iv, yiy,o orrc
for the purpose of purifying the at
mosphere. Moreover, the electric light
| Is thought to be a little brighter and
there is no danger from Its operation.
The electricity is generated by the rev.
olution of the car wheels which are
connected with a dynamo located on
the trucks by means Of a belt. This
dynamo has not only the sufficient ca
pacity to do the lighting while the
train Is in motion, but when 1t has
stopped the lights still burn, receiving
their supply from small storage bat
terry. This battery will keep and mas
much as inspectors go over the ap-
paratus every day there Is no possi-
bility Of the trains going without elec-
trio light for any long time. There are
now on Santa Fe 109 passenger cars
equipped with this sort of apparatus
for illumination. distributed as fol-
lows: Seven business cars. or specials
used by the officials; Is coaches; 20
chair cars; 10 buffet; 10 diners and %
Pullmans Several new cars which
were ordered by the company months
ago are being, fitted up for illuminat-
ing with Pintsch gas, but this is owing
to the uncertain results Of the tests
with electricity. But few electric head
lights are in use on the system.

TORTURE OF FILIPINos.
Senate Committee Hears Further Evil
dence of Soldiers.


dence of Soldiers.
Washington, April 22.-The senate
committee on the Philippines resumed
the examination of witnesses in con-
nection with the affairs in the Philip
pine islands. Grover Flint of Cam
lieutenant of the Thirty-fourth infan-
try, testified that in May, 1900, he had
been a witness of the water cure, as
administered to the natives by the
Macabebe scouts and that this was
done to get information as to the
whereabouts of their guns. The guns
were delivered The following day
some men of his own regiment applied
the water cure, but their act was with
out the authority of their commanding
officers.
The Macabebes at the time referred
to were not under command of a COM
missioned officer but under a sergeant
of the United States army. Flint had
been, he said, witness to at least 20
cases of the water cure. He had never
seen any one die as a result of the
cure, but had seen hospital corpsman
working on native who had been rem
dered unconscious. 1t also had been
reported to him that one Filipino died
from the effects of the water cure.
The witness then described the
method of administering the cure and
said that in some cases where it was
given to old men he had seen their
teeth fall out "

Question of Subsidies.

One of the most interesting features
of the plan deals with the subsidy
question. The White Star and Cunard
lines receive subsidies from the Brit
ish government. These subsidies would
be withheld or abrogated if the ships
of these lines changed their flags from
British to American. Because of this
the ships of the White Star, Cunard
and the English subsidized companies
will doubtless continue nOminally un-
der British control.
George w. Perkins of J. P. Morgan
e Co. is authority for the statement
that American interests will dominate
the proposed amalgamation and de-
clares that. the result will prove not
only a great triumph for Mr.. Morgan,
but will make the United States the
real rulers of the merchant marine of
the world.
Mr. Perkins also says that the plan
will be of greatest benefit to importers
and exporters as well as to the great
railway interests of this country. It's
effect will be felt by shippers from
Maine to California, Mr.. Perkins says,
and will also result in better under
standing between the commercial in
terests of this country and Germany.
at is true" he added, that Mr.. Nor
gan will act as syndicate manager in
this combination, just as he brought
together and welded the various in
teIests in the United States Steel cor
poration. The financial details have
been completed to the extent that all
the cash necessary for the deal has
been subscribed. 1t is too soon to
speak about the directorate, but let it
be borne in mind that control of the
company will be held here"
1t is taken as a matter of course that
the interests now prominent in the va
rious steamship lines will be taken
into the consolidated directory.
Banking interests identified with the
proposed underwriting syndicate, said
that the new company would have a
New Jersey charter. They thought
that no very great amount of cash con-
tributions would be required from the
underwriting syndicate, but were ret
icent as to how far the owners of un-
DERIVING companies had the option to
take new stock or cash. The Roths-
childs, they added, were to be among
the underwriters.

LEAVE TO FILE
WASHINGTON STATE GIVEN PER.
MISSION TO SEEK INJuNc-
TON AGAINST MERGER.
THE OPINION Is VERY BRIEF

United States Supreme Court Decides
That the Suit Differs From the Min
nesotu Case, Recently Decided, and
Grants the Request Prayed for-De-
cision Entirely Without Prejudice to
Either Party at Interest.
Washington, April 22-The United
States supreme court has granted
leave to the State of Washington to
file an original bill for an Injunction
against the Great Northern Railroad
company, the Northern Pacific Rail-
road company and the Northern Secur-
tiles company in accordance with the
petition of that state recently filed in
the court.
The opinion in the case was deliver
ed by Chief Justice Fuller, who stated
that the court had always exercised
the utmost care in it's proceedings in
original cases and that the present de-
cision to grant leave to file was in
tended to be entirely without prejudice
to either party at interest.
The chief Justices opinion was very
brief and consisted entirely of a re-
view of original cases of the same
character which have been brought to
the attention of the court. The two
most important of the cases thus cited,
were the cases of the State of Louis
lana VS.. the State of Texas, concerning
the quarantine regulations of the latter
state, in which leave was given to file,
and the State of Minnesota VS.. the
Northern Securities company, in which
the petition to file was denied.
Referring to the latter case he said
that the petition had been refused be-
cause of the insuperable objection that
indispensable parties to the case could
not be brought into the court. This
objection did not, however, confront
the court in the present case and the
court felt that because of it's desire to
proceed with the utmost care and de-
liberation in all cases where original
actions are brought in this court, the
precedent of the Louisiana-Texas case
should be followed rather than that of
the Minnesota case in the present in
stance. Hence leave to file would be
granted and subpoenas would be is
sued returnable on the first day of the
next term of court in November.

New York, April 21.-J. P. Morgan,
who is now abroad, has practically con-
summated plan to combine all the
leading transatlantic steamship lines.
London dispatches announcing the
combination were practically confirm
ed at the Morgan banking house. The
lines to be consolidated will, it is IN
derstood, include the American and
Red Star lines, White Star line, Domin-
ion line, Atlantic Transport line and
the Leyland line. The two last named
lines have been under Morgan control
for some time. Probable additions to
this list are the Cunard, Wilson and
Holland-American companies and it is
understood that working agree
ment" will be reached with the other
leading transatlantic companies in
Guiding the North German Lloyd, Ham
burg-American, General Transatlantic
(French), Allan and Anchor lines.
Mr.. Morgan has given the matter
much of his time since his arrival on
the other side. In this country more
important details have been in the
American line, while Charles Steele,
Mr.. Morgan's partner in this city, has
had charge of the legal preliminaries.
1t is yet too early to give the exact
scope of the scheme, but as now out
lined there will be an American hold
ing company into which all theNsteam-
ship companies which propose to enter
the combine will put their stockhold-
ings-"pool their issues"-in exactly
the same way that the various con-
Germs embraced in the United States
Steel corporation threw in their hold
ings, receiving in return stock of the
main or parent company.
Just what the capitalization of the
company will be is not as yet known,
but the amount is likely to be well in
excess of $150,000,000. This phase of
the project will depend entirely upon
the number of steamship companies
taken into the combine.
