A Ia ackIess Trolley.

On the continent of Europe, one de-
velopment of the electric trolley which
as yet is unknown to the United
States has been practically tested with
promise of success. This is what is
known as the "trackless trolley" de-
scribed by George Ethelbert Walsh in
Casters magazine as cross between
an automobile and the electric railway
II is not as serviceable as the electric
railway i'll Transporting passengers and
freight along the lines, and II is not as
mobile and independent as the auto
mobile stage coach; but its construc-
ton and equipment are much cheaper
than the former, and its efficiency is
greater than that of the latter.
In view of the fact that the most
serious item in the construction of the
railway. as MIR, Walsh points out, is
the cost of the road bed. it would seem
that some such device as the trackless
trolley ought 10 fit in very well in
those regions where traffic is not
heavy enough TO insure fair returns up
on capital invested in railway construc-
ton. In the connection of country and
suburban traffic. for which a trolley
Europe. this trackless trolley serves as
the missing link" While it's route is
permanent, its cost of construction and
equipment is so low that il can oper-
ate through a sparsely settled region
and still return good interest on the
investment In view of the fact that
freight traffic must pay a large pro
portion of the profits. il should be
borne in mind that the heavier cars
required for this purpose are compare
tively costly.
One of the most important of the
trackless trolley lines in operation in
Europe is the "Haidebahn." running
between Dresden and Klotzsche. in
Germany. This road is about two miles
long. and has been in active operation
for some time. Regular overhead troll
ley wires were strung along the high
way on poles, as for an ordinary cleo
trio railway The roadbed itself con
sisted of one side of the regular high
way. which was smoothed out and
hardened on the surface by a layer of
fine stones and gravel. The cost of
construction was not more than one
sixth o. the ordinary cost of an cleo
trio railway of the usual type. Troll

GOV. BRADY'S REPLY
NOT SATISFACTORY

Washington, April 2O.-A letter was
received at the interior department
yesterday, from Gov. Brady of Alaska,
in response to that of Secretary Hitch
cock, in which the secretary called on
Mr.. Brady to repudiate his Connection
with the Reynolds Alaska Development
Company or resign from the govern.
ment service.
The governors reply is not satisfac-
tory. Mr.. Brady says nothing about
either withdrawing from the company
or from the government. He said,
however, that he had already asked
that his letter of Endorsement be with
drawn from the company's prospectus,
and added that he had asked Mr. Rey-
nolds, president of the company, to call
on Mr. Hitchcock and explain his con-
nection with it,
This exasperated Secretary Hitch

frame of mind later in the day when
Mr.. Reynolds appeared. Mr.. Reynolds
offered to exhibit the books of the COM
pany for the secretary's inspection. but
Mr.. Hitchcock asked him for list Of
the stock holders. Mr.. Reynolds re-
used to show the list
AS soon as the president returns to
Washington the secretary will ask him
to call for the governors resignation,
unless Mr.. Brady should choose to otfe
his resignation before that time.

Not an accident marred the trip across
the Pacific, and from the lips of the
passengers, as they came down the
gang plank and greeted friends who
had assembled to meet them, came
nothing except words of praise for the
big floating hotel which for fortnight
had been their home.
All told the Minnesota brought 1872

DELCASSE MAY QUIT
FRENCH FOREIGN MINISTER SAYS
He WILL RESIGN.
Announcement Came as d Shock
and Strenuous Attempts Are
Being Made TO Secure Recon-
observation-disclosures Crisis Said
to Be Responsible.

Paris. April 22.-After notable
service of nearly eight years in the di-
vision Of foreign affairs, Ophile Del,
case yesterday informed President of
the Council Rouvier of his desire and
intention to resign. This announce
ment came as a surprise and shock to
M. Delcasse's colleagues of the cabi-
net, who Immediately took steps to en-
deavor to secure reconsideration of
his determination. 1t is believed that
M. Delcasse will yield to the insist
ence Of President Loubet and the pres
ident of the council.
Washington, April 22.-Diplomats
in close touch with European chancel-
tories hold the opinion that Morocco,
more than the menace to French neu-
trality in the far East, is responsible
for the threatened retirement of NJ
Delcasse, the French minister of for
eign affairs.
Ii is learned that France has inform
ed Germany that nothing could have
been further from her intentions than
to injure German interests in Morocco,
and even has gone so far as to say that
the French position there not only fur
nishes protection to the commerce of
other nations, but insures, rather than
threatens, the integrity of Morocco and
thereby the maintenance of the status
quo which was the especial cause of
concern to the Berlin government.
So satisfied is Germany, it is said,
with the attitude of France, and so
different is that attitude from what
Germany believed, that it is thought
here that Berlin and Paris are ap.
preaching complete accord on the SUBJ
ject. European advices indicate that
Germany's suspicious were aroused by
the apparent unwillingness in the past
of tho French government to discuss
Morocco, even when the subject was
directly brought up. 1t is thought
here that this change in conditions
may account for the fact that NJ. Del.
casse has gone SO far as to contemplate
retirement.
In the diplomatic corps here NJ. Del
casse has long been regarded as one of
the few world diplomats of today.

RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION FIGHT.
Great. Northern and Milwaukee Crews
at YanktOn Clash.

St. Paul, Mimi, April 2O.-By q
clever move yesterday afternoon, the
Great Northern beat the Milwaukee in
its obstructive tactics at the approaches
to the Missouri river at Yankton, S. d.
According to advices from Yankton,
the two roads have locked horns and
for three days have fought and coun-
tered each others moves in an effort
to get first to the river. The Great
Northern started building to the river
early in the month, and Monday the
Milwaukee suddenly shot spur track
over the hastily built line of the other
road, and by keeping locomotive
standing on the crossing prevented the
supply trains of the Great Northern
from reaching the point where the
road WAS laying track.
All day Tuesday the Milwaukee To-
connective kept its place in spite Of
demonstrations by the forces of the
other road and the threats of injunc-
tions and other legal and equitable
proceedings. Last night, however,
word came to the effect that the Sireat
Northern had completely beaten the
other road by slipping crossing past
the tracks of the Milwaukee, both be.
fore and behind the Milwaukee engine
and blocking the crossing with loaded
cars
The move. while temporary, is the
winning one in the combina ton, for
it affords time for the Great Northern
and close the small gap to the river.
the whole trouble is the result of
the rivalry of the roads and their con-
certed move to cross the river to Ne
braska.
