All the Way to Belair.-The Baltimore
4meyican says: THE installation OF an auto
mobile route from Carney, the present ter
minus of the Hartford road electric line, to
Belair, the capital of Hartford county, not only
marks a notable extension of an important
suburban passenger line, but possesses great
ly heightened interest from the fact that it
is the first instance in which suburban rail-
road running out from Baltimore has intro
duced the motor car as feeder. The scheme
of automobile routes as branch or feeding lines
to steam and electric roads has been very sue.
cessfnllv introduced in some of the New Eng
land states and in parts OF Great Britain.
Seemingly q system of motor car extensions to
electric main lines is susceptible of indefinite
extension. 1t is expected that the electric road
to Belair will be entirely completed by the sum-
mer of 1906 but even after all.rail route is made
to span between the two main points, the au-
tomobiles may still be utilized to connect out
living towns with the through electric line.
Not alone upon the Hartford road, but in other
directions in which electric lines extend into
thickly populated districts, it is apparent that
special automobile routes may bring very
profitable side traffic into touch with the troll
sgTbe electric roads that lead out from Balti-
more into the surrounding rural sections con-
stantly diverge like the spokes from hub.
Through these long distance trolley roads
hive grown to be very numerous, crossing
the city's boundary lines within short dis
tanees of each other, yet when they are FIVE or
six miles from the starting point there is a
wide stretch of territory intervening between
the lines. This widespread suburban territory
with each succeeding year is becoming more
densely populated. To bring the off-lying
towns, villages and farms into touch with the
electric roads is, to all appearances, mission
| which the automobile car can meet admirably.
These automobile lines can be made to run on
time schedules, more or less frequent, accord
ing to the needs Of the communities which
they serve.
Baltimore welcomes an additional connec-
ton with Beair-is pleased and proud to have
the Hartford county capital as suburban at
traction-and takes much felicitation in the
hope that Belair may more than ever find Bal.
timore an urban attraction, or suburban at
traction, If Belair will prefer it that way. In
any case, may there be continuous increase
in the trade and commerce and constant
strengthening of the bonds of friendship be-
| tween the two cities"

The population of Baltimore county is
increasing rapidly, due principally to the over
flow from the city. The desire for suburban
homes is growing and this brings many city
people into the county. OF course the rapid
transit lines are the principal factor in this
because they make it possible for men to live
a good many miles from their offices and BUSH
ness places and still reach them in time and
comfortably.

SERIOUS REVOLT IN ARABIA.
Battle at Sanaa Has Been in Progress
Five DAYS.

Constantinople, March 2.-The pres
ent insurrection in Yemen province,
Arabia, appears to put in the shade
all previous revolts. The center of
the movement is at Saada, northward
of Sanaa, and already there are signs
of its extension to the province Of
Ashyr. The insurgents have again
surrounded Sanaa and a stubborn fight
has been in progress for five days.
Many Of the Turkish troops refuse to
resist any further and are deserting.
In the south the towns of Aab and
Hidjeh, the latter containing 1000
troops with four guns, are surrounded
and on the point of capitulating. The
alleged victory of Feb. 1, when it was
officially announced that the Turkish
forces had routed the rebels investing
Sanaa and Hodeida, Yemen province,
and had relieved the besieged garri-
son OF Sanaa, turns out to have been
an insurgent success. Turkeys de-
fective transportation delays the dis

married Leland Stanford, who later

TO POISON MRS. STANFORD.
Attempt Made in San Francisco on
Feb. 1S.

feO. 10.
San Francisco, March 2.-On the
18th Of last month it was reported
that an attempt had been made to-
murder Mrs. Stanford by means of,
poison placed in a bottle of mineral
water at her home on California street
in this city.
1t was stated that she had taken
three drinks OF the deadly MIXTURE
but the poison had been used in such
large quantities that it served as its
own emetic. Mrs. Stanford was taken
violently ill and medical aid was sum-
moned. The contents of her stomach
and the water remaining in the bottle
were analyZed and sufficient strych-
nine to have killed three persons was
found. Mrs. Stanford first drank of
the water on Jan. IA and from that
time her health declined. Although
the story of the attempt to poison her
was positively denied, persistent ru.
mors regarding the matter were cur
rent. She sailed for the Orient on the
steamer Korea two weeks ago and it
was believed by her friends here that
the voyage would result in her COM
plete restoration to health.
