FIRST CAR RUNS TODAY.
Traffic Over Old Dominion and Great
Falls Road.

The first car to go over the roadbed Oh
the Old Dominion and Great Falls railroad
made the trip today. y car was started
out from the power house on the Virginia
size of the river, near the entrance on tha'
side TO the Aqueduct bridge. OfnclaIs OIL
the company, as well as representatives vi
the Westinghouse Company that furnished
the electrical equipment, were OH board
the car.
The car ran along smoothly over the
road bed that has been constructed with
the idea that it is to last for some time;
At any rate it is of the most substantial
character No hitch or hindrance to the
progress of the rapidymoving car was
found along the entire distance from the
bridge 10 the end of the line, which is
some fourteen miles.
AS the road passes through a section of
country that has not had a railroad the
appearance of the car the signal that the
work of building and equipplng the roao
was finished no doubt was a cause OF re-
ioicing to all the residents, who Will now
have a rapid and easy means or comnuhl-
cation with the city.
The officials of the company, Mr.. Colin
W. Livingston, who is q director, and MT.
f. NJ. Lande, chief engineer, expressed
their satisfaction with the result or the
trial trip and the condition OF the ROAD, ana
especially of the ability to develop high
speed. Aas rate thlrty-hNe OF Ioft5 iiiieS
was reached.
Mr.. Henry R. Kent. the superintendent of
the electric company came on from New
York to go on the trip, and the super1n-
tendent of construction, Mr. II. II. Effeltyn,
was the subject of congratulation. On the
return from the upper part of Virginia,
where the Great Falls of the Potomac are
located. the car continued over the Aque-
duct bridge to the end of the line at the
head of 36th street
1t is expected that the road win be turned
over to the company by the construction
company some time next week, and then
the regular operation of the will be
begun.

Trying to Dislodge White.

Information has reached the Associated
Press that the desperate struggle which has
been raging in the government between the
reactionary and the progressive forces is
approaching a elimination and must end
within a few days In the resignation OF
either Minister of the Interior Durnovo, who
Is leading the movement for thorough-go-
ing repression, or of Premier White and
several other members of the cabinet The
question at issue Is the withdrawal of the
extraordinary powers confded n governor
generals throughout the empire, which In
many cases, It Is alleged, have been exer-
cised for the repression not only of political
disorders, but also OF the political activity OF
the parties.
The discussion has reached such an acute
and passionate Stage in the cabinet that no
other Issue than the fall of one faction or
the other is possible. The chances of vic
tory incline to the side of Count Witte who
insists that the governor generals must be
deprived OF their extreme powers within a
fortnight in order to remove the restrictions
upon free electoral campaign.

WAR ON TEXAS FEVER
DISEASE DECLARED TO BE CAR
5 RIED By THE CATTLE TICK.

Education as to the nature and possible
restriction of Texas fever is one of the mat
ters now occupying the attention of the bu-
reau OF animal industry In the Department
of Agriculture. 1t was stated recently that
the department was arranging to import
number of immune Indian cattle from the
far east, and that 1t had been definitely de-
cided that the fever and the ticks that carry
1t could be eradicated by systematic clean
Ing of the southern pastures. All this In
formation and good deal more has been
embodied in bulletin just issued by the
bureau of animal industry. This mono
graph takes UP the subject of Texas fever
and It's eradication with a view to educat-
ing the farmer up to the possibility and the
necessity of cleaning up the southern pas
lures below the quarantine line.
The Quarantine Line.
This line, roughly speaking, extends
through the middle of Virginia, through ex-
IRENE western North Carolina, through the
middle of Tennessee through Oklahoma and
including more than the southern half of
Texas, following the international boundary
south of New Mexico and Arizona and TAX
ing In the lower half of California. Within
this area the fever is endemic like yellow
fever until recently in Cuba. and cattle from
at all in certain seasons. 1t has been found
now, however that the fever is carried by a
certain breed of tick, very much as yellow
fever is carried by the mosquito. The life
history of the tick has been studied by the
department, and the authorities are now in
a position to fight the evil by other means
than quarantine
One of the great difficulties however is
10 educate the farmer to the point Of realiz-
ing that the source of the fever has really
neen found. and then to convince him that
1t is worth his while to clean up his own
fields and cattle. 1t happens that the south
efn cattle are immune to the disease just
as many residents of Cuba are immune to
yellow fever. but the presence of the tick
reduces the vitality of the southern cattle,
and there has up to date been a loss of
about W per cent in trying to introduce
northern cattle into the south to improve
the native stock by breeding.
Great Loss Involved.
There is no question of the loss that the
fever directly causes in this country each
year, but the indirect effects are equally Sc
we're though less apparent.
The enormous sbrinkage in value of $685.
250,Ooo is directly chargeable to the cattle
tick. The shrinkage in the milk production
of cattle harboring many ticks will amount
to S1.S15.0O per annum. The damage re-
sultlng to the southern purchaser of north
ern pure-bred or high-grade cattle is an
other item of no small moment About 10
per cent of all such cattle taken south die
or Texas fever even after they are fmmu-
n1zed by blood inoculations and about 50
per cent of these cattle succumb to Texas
fever when not SO treated
