tempt to deal with other important feds, such as the repair and mainte- nance of road bed, and the repair and maintenance of locomotives, The cost of the repair and maintenance to elec- trio locomotives is known to be lower than that of steam, and the wear and tear upon track and road bed caused by electric locomotives is likewise known to be less than that caused by steam; so that in these two important fields very considerable and additional economies can be effected. It may safely De said in general that the ad- vantages and economies attendant up- on operation by electricity over steam are so marked that it is merely ques- tion of time when this substitution takes place, the rapidity of the move- ment depending mostly upon the de- gree of benefit to be derived under the different conditions surrounding the respective roads and their financial ability and foresightedness in making the change. The following conclusion, therefore seems sound:
 The increasing population, the large and growing mileage of railway cover ing the country, and the already enor- nous and increasing manufacturing in dustries, coupled with steadily increas- Ing prices of coal promise demand for electricity which will exhaust all the water power development within reach, and will cause the erection of many stations generating electricity by steam. Bonds therefore secured by a water power plant depending upon an unfaillng supply of water, reasona ply capitalized, and within reach of mar kets such as above described become a fundamental security since the property behind them is essential to the needs of vast number of people. In our opin- ion such securities will become high priced, and be regarded as choice in vestments similar to' underlying first mortgage railroad bonds, which are now very scarce.

due influence or feeling of obligation toward any private or corporate inter- ests.
 There couldn't be a more ridiculous charge made against me than that am champion of corporations. don't hold dollar of stock in any corpora tion on earth, and the man does not live who is freer from corporation in- fuence than I.
 During my first term in the legisla- ture the we'll remembered fight between the Consolidated road and the little Connecticut Western road came to a head. I never had such pressure brought to bear upon me for my sup port as by the friends, of the big road in that matter, and when I remained firm for the Connecticut Western | was threatened with political extinc- tion by men who were politically pow erful. Istood by the little road because 1t seemed to me to be in the right.
 'The government had for years paid annually to the. Southern Railway a subsidy of $14O.O0O for a fast mail ser- vice. When l found it out, fought it as a piece of fragrant graft, and have fought it every year of. my incumbent cy. Last year I came within two Or three votes of mastering enough to wipe it out.
 "How about the beef trust; has it contributed to your campaign fund as was charged at the same meeting?" was asked
 T am glad you put that question" !" said MT. Lilley Tt gives me the op- portunity to say in the first place that I haven't dollar invested in the beef trust. About fifteen years ago I was induced to purchase 100 shares at par of Swift & O., paying therefore $l0 ,000 Soon after the company passed it's div idend and my stock declined to 67 at which price I sold out at net loss of s, 3,S00; and that is the only financial interest have had in my life With any corporation. I have been associated with it, but solely as a commission merchant
 Now as to it's political influence over me. l have never received a pennys s aid from the beef trust or any mem Der of it-not one penny; and in cons gress, I voted with the president for the meat inspection bill as I did for many of the measures he, favored I voted for the employers liability bill (although MT. Gompers says I opposed it); for the immigration bill, the eight hour bill and every other measure that seemed to me calculated to benefit the people at large.
 Tn my three campaigns for congress I have never taken 8 dollar for cleo tion expenses from any corporation, big or little although it has been the custom of both democratic and repub- lican candidates to do this for years.
 Did you dodge the eight hour bill when a member of the legislature?"
 q did not. I was absent when the vote was taken, but the attorney gen eral had previously declared that the bill as drawn was unconstitutional and in the circumstances it did not seem any more necessary for me to vote on | it than on motion to adjourn"

atter conference with Chief Engineer A. N. Hallworth, General Secretary Ames gave out the following statement:
 Fire resulted from a lighted cigar stub thrown into a small accumulation of debris from the street which had dropped the iron grating over the hot, air blower from the engine room. It was first noticed by the fireman, John McClusky, who immediately summoned the engineer. When first seen it was very small, but before it could be extln- guished it was famed into flame of considerable size by the stream of hot air forced out of the building by the hot-air blower, which was rapidly re. volving. The flame was quickly carried into the timbers beneath the building and the board fence at the side, and from there into the Mercantine printing office, which is located in the corner If the building on the ground floor. Alarms were sent in and the fire quickly extin- guished'
 The Mercantile Printing company, in whose quarters the fire did most of the damage, places its loss at $500. Much water was thrown among the type in the back room, damaging it considera- bly,. This company was organized Mon- day with an authorized capital of $t5.- 900, The president of the company is William H. Valentine. D. c. ButterfieId is secretary and W. L. Pierce is treas- urer.
 The cost of replacing or repairing the cornerstone, which was cracked, will, it is thought, be more than the figures mentioned by the Y. M. c. A. authori- ties.

 Answering the charge that the sources of his campaign sinews were open to question, MT. Lilley made em- phatic and unqualified assertions that no corporation or individual, living or dead, had ever been allowed to contrib ute a farthing to his campaign ex- penses during any, of his candidates for the state legislature or for congress. Mr Lilley said furthermore that he never would receive any financial as- sistance; that he had taken and main tained this attitude in order that he might be absolutely free from any un-

 Clearly Explained.

A fire, the origin of which is not clear ly established broke out in the ground floor of the Y. M, c. A. building at l52 Temple street at 8 o'clock last evening.
