wears by the government of Ecuador and various
foreign interests more than dozen contracts
having been made, all of which however. ended in
failure.

SINGLE PHASE ELECTRIC ROAD.

The Long Island Railroad Company has just COM
pleted the first alternating current single phase
electric road in commercial use that has been con-
str71cted in the State Of New-York. This road is
the Glen Cove Street Railway, which runs from
Sea Cliff, Long Island, through the town Of Glen
Cove to Glen Cove Dock, distance of eight miles.
The Long Island Railroad Company operated this
road for years by the customary direct current
trolley system, but the operation involved many
Objectionable points, including cost of operation,
maintenance and general unsatisfactory service.
This led L. s. Wells, the chief electrical engineer
of the Long Island Railroad Company, 10 invesu-
gate the single phase system. and he began nego-
fiations with the Westinghouse company, which
guaranteed the success of the project.
The reconstruction of the road was at once start
ed the motors were ordered, and about TWO months
ago experimental operation OF the road was begun.
These experiments proved the correctness of MI:
Wells's ideas the new method Of electrical
transportation.
The road has now been running week, on
a regular schedule. without the least interruption.
The power is obtained from the companys own
central station Long Island City, the current
being transmitted a distance of thirty miles 70
Glen Cove where il passes through transformer,
Is conveyed 10 the overhead wires, and then goes
through the trolley TO the motors on the cars.

NO STATEHOOD
PARTY FEALTY
Statehood Bill put to Sleep by
Mutual Agreement of Re-
publican Caucus.

The indications are now that tile
statehood bill win be allowed 20 die
a victim Of party discipline. The
58th congress will expire March +,
next, and all bills pending viii die
with it.
The creation Of too many states in
the southwest is considered bad poll
tics by the dominant party in both
houses of congress, and the president
has settled the matter finally by an
nouncing that the bill as it came from
the senate this week would not be al
lowed to become law. On the 18th
Of last April the Republican caucus
decided that only two states should be
admitted Of the four territories. In
short 1t was thought best to run the
risk adding four democratic sena-
tors rather than eight.
