MP onEIL AND THE spBAKBRsHIP.

Mr. OdeIl certainly is not lacking IL self-conn-
dence when he makes the common objects OF a
bitter personal attack the President OF the Unted
States and the Governor OF New-forK- Ii he
expects 70 gain support and sympathy by repre-
senting himself as innocent victim OF pc
travail" by the most popular and admired man III
the United States and by another who is like
wise everywhere recognized as one or the mosI
straightforward and conscientious, he is likely TO
he disappointed If there was any uncertainty
about the attitude OF the great body of RepuDl-
cans Yesterday on the issues presented by the
Speakership question, to-day it has Deen re-
moved. Mr.. OdelI has consolidated all reputable
and progressive elements Of the party in the sup
port of the President and the Governor
Last week Mr.. Odell announced that Governor
Higgins as the person chiefly responsible Ior
the government of the state, should be permitted
to name the Speaker of the Assembly. He said:
whatever Governor Higgins wants he should
have. Any man he indorses for Speaker should
.'be elected" He added: ANY instrument that
.'he thinks is necessary to enable him to attain
Ibis ends should be given him. Governor
Higgins has taken him at his word and proposed
the candidate who he thinks is best adapted TO
carry out his purposes Of clean reform legisla-
ton Forthwith Mr.. Odell denounces him, ana
the tenor of his complaint indicates first tnaS
this magnanimous offer of support to the Gov
maze IN the expectation IIoI NIL
Higgins would kindly pick out the gentleman OF
Mr.. Odelrs selection, and, second, annoyance
because when Governor Higgins picked out some
one else he did not give an advance tip to Mr..
Odel to get into the band wagon and display
the candidate as his own.
From the point Of view of Mr.. Odell and his
desire for personal leadership these may be ade-
uuate reasons for his denunciation of the Gov
ernor and his quite gratuitous invective against
the President, whose participation in the Speak
ership contest has been authenticity disproved,
though it is well known that friends OF candl-
dates earlier in the field made strenuous efforts.
to secure his influence. However sufficient these
reasons may be to Mr.. Odell, they will hardly
seem to the great body of Republicans an ade-
quate cause for undertaking a fractional fight
under his leadership against the President and
the Governor. Mr.. 0dell's personal grievances may
excite derison or sympathy, according to the
disposition Of the onlooker toward him; but men
whose first interest is the achievement of good
government through the success Of clean and
united Republican party will not go on the war
path at his command.

n,RBCT CURRENT TRACTION.

Mr. Frank J. Sprague makes statement IN
"E7npineering News" which will attract the ap-
tention of persons who have had OCCASION W
study problems in electric traction. he says
that he is prepared to equip ROAD SO lha1 d
direct current may be used at pressure Oh
800 volts. or three times as great as 'na'
which is now employed; and he expresses the
opinion that this is not the limit OIL pracllCoi
direct current operation.
rrta ir,nortsnce of such a proposition lies In
tha fact that the higher the voltage of current
the further 1t can be sent without serious loss
over a wire or a third rail or feeder cable. so
long as electricity was used merely 1or trohey
roads not more than few miles In length the
loss of power through the resistance OF metalhc
conductor could be ignored. When It's appnca-
ton to longer lines contemplated new
question presented itself. A favorite solution
one which is exemplified in the practice of the
marlborough company In this city-is to resort
tn an extremely high voltage for transmission
nv the cables which are the main source or
supply and then reduce the pressure for service
at several sub-statiOns. For the elevated lines
in the boroughs of Manhattan and The Bronx
the current is generated and transmitted to sub
stations at pressure of 1900 volts. The mo
tors under the cars are designed to be operated
with q voltage of about five hundred volts, and
when the current for them leaves the sub-sta-
lions II has q pressure only slightly exceeding
this Obviously then, If 1t were practicable to
use 15OO volt direct current motors, it would be
possible to widen the interval between substa-
lions. The value OF that gain will be more fully
realized when one considers what might thus
be saved In the equipment of trunk line rail
way.
For transmission purposes the alternating cur
rent has hitherto been almost universally pre-
ferred to the direct current. In spite of some
notable successes with the latter which the Swiss
engineer NJ. Thury has achieved, the former
promises long TO continue the fayorite of cleo
trical engineers. On the other hand, the direct
current mas been until recently the one most
generally used for traction work. Hence at sub
stations like those OF the Interborough company
the current undergoes two kinds of change. 1t
is 'transformed'-tha is, the voltage is reduced
and It is then converted" into a direct, or
continuous, flow. Mr. Sprague does not contem-
plate any departure from this second usage, but
in proposing means that would diminish the
number of substations needed he will commend
himself to that school of electricians who expect
and wish 10 see the direct current retained for
railway work.
Recent improvements in the alternating cur
rent motor have overcome in some measure the
faults which characterized that type of
! mechanism. at least when devoted to traction
service. Whether the objections TO its use have
been entirely removed however is a question on
which there is not yet perfect agreement. In
fact. tho rivalry between the ntarestz behind tho
