WILL TRY ELECTRICITY.

Great Northern to Supplaht Steam as
Motive Power on One Division.
Minneapolis, April 6.-Electricity will
be utilized by the Great Northern Rail
way company instead Of steam as mo-
tive power on at least one division of
its transcontinental line in North Da-
kota, as well as in hauling its trains
thru the famous Cascade tunnel in the
Rocky mountains. The particular
stretch of road where it has now been
decided to use electricity is between
Minot and Williston, where the roads
supply of water is so full of mineral
salts that an engine must be taken into
the roundhouse after every run to have
it's boilers cleaned.
Plans for the substitution of cleo
tricity on this stretch of road in North
Dakota haveNbeen under consideration
for some time and the company prac-
tically has decided upon the change.
Cary T. Hutchinson, an expert elec-
trical engineer from II east, and sew
eral others from the win cities have
been called in consultation with the
superintendent of motive power for the
railroad company, and from their flg-
ures it has been determined that the
particular section of the road under
consideration, which is 12f miles long.
could be operated by electricity at a
great saving as compared with present
expense.
The road between Minot and Willis
ton has been giving the company
great deal Of trouble and at times the
difficulties experienced have been SUI

Others utterly exhausted, the steamer
Virginia arrived here today from King
ston, Jamaica, after desperate strug-

into the storm last Tuesday, and from
that time until Thursday it was COM
slant battle with the sea. The wind
reached a velocity of sixty miles an
hour, and the rain fell in torrents. At
one time six water spouts were sighted
from the steamers bridge. The inn

lection OF property il the republic is
re-establiNhed and the Cubans are
placed in control. The provisional
government officials are not in accord
with this view. French interests IN
Cuba are quite large, and what France
thinks may have considerable effect
It is learned further that certain
powerful British interests have asked
the foreign office in London to request
permission from the United States to
station three British warships in Gu
ban waters when the Americans leave.
Great Britain, however, is not likely
to make any such embarrassing re-
quest because the answer probably
would BE- that America is able to at
tend to .er own affairs. and, being re-
sponsible for Cuba's conduct. she would
preserve order and protect property as
at present. However, these two In
stances show the feeling of disauietude.
1t is certain that the Americans Will
remain here until the summer of 1908.

He thereupon stood up to his full

There was a pause.

Governments Closing Argument.

Washington, April 6.-The interstate
commerce commissions investigation
of E. H. Harriman's manipulation of
the Chicago and Alton and his South
ern Pacific deals ended yesterday.
The commission has taken the case
under advisement A decision is not
looked for for some time.
There were three addresses yester-
day, one by Attorney John G. Milburn,
in defense of Mr.. Harriman's course,
and one each by Special Attorneys G.
A. Severance and Frank c. Kellogg in
criticism Of it.
Mr.. Milburn enlarged upon the con-
tention that the Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific had not been compet-
ing lines before their consolidation,
but urged that even If they were, one
of them had the right to purchase the
property Of the other.
Messrs. Severance and Kellogg con-
tended for the applicability of the anti
trust law to the purchase of the South
ern Pacific by the Union Pacific, and
Mr.. Kellogg criticised sharply Mr..
Harriman,s dealings in the Chicago and
Alton securities.
He said that the liabilities of that
road had been increased to the extent
of $50, 100000, "for which," he de-
clared 1.-The syndicate did not give the
company one dollar aside from a mod
crate equipment" To say that it was
necessary to make this addition in
view of the excellent credit of the road
was to his mind incredible Mr.. Har-
rman had said that $22,000,000 had
been expended on the road, but if that
was true not all the money had been
a part Of the expanded capital. ALI the
could have been made
by a comparatively slight increase Of
the roads interest account
He claimed that the Alton bonds had
been sold to Hartman and friends at
65 cents on the dollar when they could
have been made to bring par. NO one
can say that that is conservative
financing" he said. He declared that
the proceeds of this sale had been used
in paying dividends to the stockhold-
ers, the men who had bought the bonds.
Deducting the dividends, the bonds had
really been obtained for about 40 cents
on the dollar.
Mr.. Kellogg contended that the coun-
try was largely interested in such
transactions and urged that congress
should limit the initiation of railroad Sc
curities. There could be mo excuse
for expanding a railroads securities
merely for the purpose of making a
profit out Of them.
II deny the necessity and the NOR
ality of such course" he said, and
expressed the opinion that a restriction
should be placed upon such transact
tions. He did not believe in unreason-
able restrictions, but it was not in the
interest of the roads themselves that
they should be largely utilized for in
vestment.

tie hand quite dig with the needle,

Clara responded, 'Nobody's Drawer but

"Clara pious remark is the main de-
tail, and Susy has accurately remem-
bered it's phrasing. The 3-year older's
wound was of a formidable sort, and
not one which the mothers surgery
would have been equal to. The flesh of
the finger had been burst by cruel
accident It was the doctor that
asewed it up, and to all appearances it
was he, and the other independent wit
nesses, that did the main part of the

London Paper Says swettenham Was
Forced to Apologize.

London, April 6.-The Standard de-
clares 1t is able to publish for the first
time the circumstances leading to the
resignation of Sir Alexander Swetten7
ham as governor of Jamaica. The pa
per says that, according to Sir Alex
ander's own statement In letter to
an intimate friend, he resigned in con-
sequence of a peremptory demand
from the colonial office to apologize to
Rear Admiral Davis.
Tb this Sir Alexander replied that ~
such a, course were really necessary,
he would do so with pleasure, but
that such a compulsory apology car
ried with 1t his resignation. Sir AL
exander denies emphatically that there
was any dispute between him and the
American admiral at the time of the
Kingston earthquake, saying: I'VE
were the best of friends during the
whole time the admiral was here. He
had the use of one Of my private car

London Paper Claims Authority for
Announcing Startling Changes in

Russia.
London, April s-The Daily Mirror
claims to be in a position to announce
upon the highest authority" that the
emperor OF Russia proposes to abdi-
cate within month and that Grand
Duke Michael viii be appointed regent
. during the infancy of the czarevitch.
For the past three or four weeks, the
paper said, the events in this direction
have been proceeding with lightning
like rapidity in ST. Petersburg, but the
secret has been well kept. Continuing
the Daily Mirror says:
Lately the emperor's mind has been
giving way even more completely and
he has shown himself incapable Of per-
forming the smallest duties OF his
rank"
The lower house of parliament Is to
be abolished and there will be formed
q military dictatorship with the OBJ
ject Of stamping out revolution and
putting an end to anarchy in Russia.
The paper declares that marriage has
been arranged between Grand Duke
Michael and Princess Victoria Of
Schleswig- Holstein and that the visit
to London of the dowager empress Of
Russia was chiefly for the purpose OF
negotiating this marriage.
Count Benkerdork the Russian ann
bassador to Great Britain, in ain inter-
view regarding the story published in
the Daily Mirror expressed surprise
Herewith and said he had heard Moth
Sng officially or otherwise to confirm
these statements. He did not believe
Them but on the contrary he discredit-
ed the story entirely. Baron Sternberg,
the Russian consul general here, wien
questioned regarding this story said it
was "all rubbish"
