BERLIN, Sept. "a high speed trial
over the Zozzen Experimental Electric Rail-
road to-day resulted in attaining "A speed Al
the rate of over III miles per hour. Every
part of the lco-ton. car was intact, and the
roadbcd was not affected. The series of
tests began ten days ago, when speed at
the rate of ninety miles per hour was re-
corded. Every second day the speed was
increased two or three miles, and to-day
the highest point was reached. The fact
that the machinery and roadbed were not
impaired gives every hope of attaining
speed at the rate of l25 miles per hour.

Up Vigorously.

Washington, June 22.-Members Of
the senate committee on privileges and
elections are receiving letters from al
parts of the country in relation TO the
election of Senator SmOOt of Utah
These letters are coming from the
same sources from which so many pro-
tests were received last winter against
seating SmOOt- They are sufficient TO
cause the matter to be taken up by
Ehe committee, although the general
impression among senators is that they
will not result in any report for the
unseating Of the Utah senator The
opposition to SmOOt is practically the
same as that called forth by the cleo
ton of Roberts To the house, but the
general belief among members Of the
committee on privileges and elections
o. the senate is that the two cases are
not TO be considered as in any respect
parallel so far as furnishing reasons
for unseating Senator SmoOt is CON
