One of the things that pleased him
most about the new method OF pay
ment, DIR. Thompson declared, was
that all the checks are drawn on the
Treasurer Of the United States. In
days OF stringency or a money panic
he said, this would tend to keep mon

Washington, Feb. 5.-If Senator
Tillman of South Carolina can have
his way there will be no smoking in
the executive sessions Of the Senate.
He is very sensitive to the odor of to-
bacco and tried during the executive
session, Tuesday to have smoking
prohibited. AS the question is not
covered by the rules, he failed, but he
gave notice that he would soon intro
duce a resolution prohibiting smok-
ing in the Senate chamber at all
times. He said today:
There is no more reason why Sen
ators should be allowed to smoke in
executive than in open sessions.
Many men object to tobacco smoke
and just because they are members
of the Senate they should not be
compelled to sit where they must
submit to it,"

se,ooo,ooo FOR GRAND TRUNK
Way Clear to Cut New England Line
Clash with Electric Road

Boston, Mass, Feb. Financial
circles here today were practically as
sured that President n. j. Chamber
lin of the Grand trunk Railroad has
obtained the needful $6,000,000, which
is expected to remove all the OBJ
stacles to the extension of the road
through New England and to Boston.
PRESIDENT Chamberlin either has the
money actually IN hand or an abso-
lutte. guarantee that it will be avail
able in a short time.
The latest development in the
Grand Trunk situation in New Eng
land means fight between the Can
adian road, with the New Haven
Railroad on its side, and local cleo
trio road interests.
The Boston & Providence Interur-
ban Electric Railroad Company has
asked the Rhode Island Assembly to
grant a charter by which it can take
over the proposed route of the South
ern New England Railway in that
State to tidewater in Providence.
The company proposes to conduct a
freight and passenger service be-
tween Boston and Providence, and to
run a new boat line between the lat
ter city and New York. This would
make it a competitor of the New Ha-
ven on land, and of the Sound steam
ship lines, which the Mellen road
must give up under the Panama Ca
nal act. The electric road has asked
the Massachusetts Legislature for a
renewal of a charter it obtained in
this State some time ago.
The incorporators of the electric
company are Kidder, Peabody & Co.,
Stone e. Webster, and James F..
Shaw of Boston. They want the
right to connect physically with the
New York, New Haven e. Hartford
Road and the Southern New England
Railways. The interests behind the
new line are powerful. and it looks
as though a great struggle is coming
in the Rhode Island Legislature. AS
soon as Grand Trunk interests heard
of the companys plans President
Chamberlin sent this telegram:
I'VE have made every enort pos
sible for the last two months to fl
nance the Southern New England,
and indications now are that within
the next few days we shall be sue
cessful. Furthermore, we have offer
ed the Interurban Electric Railway
facilities over our right of way, from
the point of their connection both to
the South Station and to the docks"
