TRANSFER TO HARTFORD
OF THE ACCOUNTING AND CASH IER DEPARTMENTS

Of the Consolidated Railway Company
 -Will Occupy Quarters in Company,s
 Own Building in That City-Ten of
 the Assistants Here Will Remove to
 Hartford--Quarters Here Insufficient
 Owing to the Increase in Number of
 Trolley Lines Acquired.
 The acquisition of new lines of late by the Consolidated Railway company has rendered it necessary to have in creased accommodations for the ac- counting and cashier departments of the company, which are now located in the Malley building in this city, and las an increase of accommodations there is not available it has been de- |cided to remove the operation of these departments to Hartford, and for two reasons, viz, on the score of economy Iand because Hartford is more nearly the geographical center of the track age of the Consolidated company. The company will, therefore, transfer these two departments to the large and com imodious building in Hartford of the Hartford Street railway, where there are available quarters of sufficient size for the enlargement of business which the company encounters owing to the additional lines acquired. This will be a wise move on the score of economy, as the building where the new quarters will be located is the property of the company, and hence a considerable amount will be saved annually, which is now paid for rental
 In an interview yesterday with G. L. Campbell, the efficient and courteous manager at the departments iii Ques- tion, he said: tYes, it is true that, our fquarters here being insufficient, they are to be transferred to Hartford, both for standardization and as a matter of economy, as there will be no rent to pay in using the company's building in Hartford. There are ample spare ac- commodations in the building there. We expect to commence the transfer to the Hartford premises in about ten days and to be located there certainly by the early part of July
 In reply to other interrogations MT. Campbell said that the Consolidated Street Railway company controls the largest number of electric companies, under one management, of any corpor- ation in New England, and fw corpor- ations in the country surpass it in the number and extent of lines controlled and operated. In all it operates upon 45S miles of track. It operates fifteen | electric or trolley companies.
 | Of the force of assistants new er1l- Iployed in the accounting and cashier departments here about ten will re- move to Hartford to servetin the new offices there. A local cashiers office for New Haven and vicinity will be re- tained in this city. 4- &s, X MT. Campbell has been in the service of the company here for about 9 year and came here from Putnam, Conn.,, where he was connected with the
 Worcester and Connecticut River road,
 having charge of the accounts there.

 AND LEGALLY so, TOO
MAYOR WEAVER WINS POINT IN
 PHILADELPHLA.

Power to Undo What They Did in
 Granting Street Railway Grab--NTass
 Meeting of Citizens HeId-Seyenty-
 seven Men Discharged So Far This
 Week.
 Philadelphia, June 14.-In accordance with the request made by the commit tee on street railways of city councils for his opinion on the legality of the bills providing for the repeal of ordi- nances granting street car companies the right to construct tracks on cer- tain street, City Solicitor John I. Kin sey to-day sent his opinion to that committee. The city solicitor is of the opinion that councils have full power to repeal the ordinances, because the street railway companies had not yet actually taken possession of the streets.
 The committee on street railways will meet tomorrow when the opinion will be made by the advocates of the repealers to have. the bills favorably reported to councils. In order to avoid disorderly scenes such as those that occurred yesterday the meeting to- morrow will be held in small commit tee room. ,.-.
 Two city park superintendents and ten employees of the electrical bureau were to-day dropped from the pay rolls making a total of seventy-seven men discharged during the current week.
 A mass meeting was held in the hall of the r. M. c. A. tonight at which speeches were made in favor of the street railway repealers. Resolutions were adopted demanding the passage of the repeal measures; insisting that no further perpetual franchises be granted under any circumstances and that a tax be imposed upon all fran chises, and the next legislature be peti- toned to repeal the law recently pass ed permitting street railway companies to hold their charters and franchises fifty years without doing the work they covenanted to do A resolution was also adopted calling upon all citizens to at tend the meeting of councils tomorrow afternoon. s...
 John W. Hill, who for the past five years has been the chief of the tiltra- tion bureau under the department of public works, has resigned that posi- ton, but no official announcement of that fact will be made by either Mayor Weaver or Director Acker for the pres-1 ent in the hope that MT. Hill may be induced to reconsider his determina- ton. Mir. Hills letter of resignation was accompanied by similar commun- ication from his son, Henry C.. Hill, who is the first assistant engineer in the bureau, at a salary of sS,o00. Chief Hills salary is $17,0O0 a year So far as can be learned Chief Hills letter to Director Acker was to the effect that he desired to be relieved of the duties of his position at the earliest possible 1 moment.

SINKING OF BRITISH SHIP
STIR CREATED IN LONDON SHIP
 PING CIRCLES.
Foreign onice Bombnrded by Letters Urging That Action be Taken in the Matter-Curiosity as to What Atti- tude Great Britain Will Assume To- ward Russia in the Matter.

London, June 14-4:40 p. m.-A con- siderable stir has been created in ship ping circles as result of the sinking of the British steamer St. Filda by the
 Russian auxiliary cruiser, Dnieper in the China Sea, The foreign office has been bombarded with telegrams from the owners of the ship and cargo urg- ling that action in the matter be taken, The foreign office is awaiting details, but in the meantime has drawn the attention of the Russian government to the reports so far received.
 Some curiosity is expressed as to the attitude of the government in view of the statements of Foreign Secretary
 Lansdowne and Premier Balfour after | the sinking of the British steamer Knight Commander by the Vladivostok squadron. It is pointed out that the present case is entirely different from that of the British steamer Oldhamia, which was captured as the Russian fleet was about to enter Japanese wa lters and might have conveyed informa- 1 tion to the Japanese. The St. Kilda, on the other hand, could not have inn parted information damaging to the
 Russians, whose fleet had already been
 destroyed or scattered. The Russians
 are expected to contend that the St.
 Kilda was carrying contraband, and
 that they were unable to take her to Q Russian nort
