THE TROLLEY TRUgrREsnrr.

That it isn't within the power of the general assembly to say what shall be done about the removal of the trustees of the Connecticut company and plac- ing the control of tho stock of that cor poration in the hands of the New Ha- ven road which owns 1t, Is fully under stood. The trustees were named by | federAl court and when they are dis charged 1t will be by action of such a court or the department of justice, but it, is possible to let it be known what the sentiment in Connecticut is regard ing the continuance of such trusteeship and that is what Is sought by Vice President Buckland of the New Haven road in appearing before the railroads committee of the legislature in behaN of the resolution recommending the re- turn. of the stock of that company to it's owners.
 It is interesting to note that the rese- lution is in accord with the recommen- dation of the public utilities commis- sion. which believes that the supervis- ion of a company doing business entire ly with Connecticut should be vested in state rather than federal body, and that one of the trustees has declared that it is his belief that the trustees would cheerfully comply with. an order to return the stock.
 The trustees were named for the pur- pose of holding the stock and disposfng of 1t. They have nothing whatever to do with the management of the conn pany. The operation is in entirely diff ferent hands. Under their orders they are to dispose of the stock of the com pany, and that they have not been able
 to do,> yet they have drawn $s1,5oo
 each year for the past seven years, mak- ing a total outlay by the company of over $2soOo0 for which the company
 has received no advantage but which
 might better have been turned toward
 the taxes for which the company is in
 arrears to the state. The situation is
 of course not caused by the trustees
 They are serving at the direction of the federal court and 1t Is for tfe ter

 forts made on the part Of the state tha, the legislative action Is sought.

AUTO REPLACING THE HORSE.

That the horse hasn't as yet been driven into retirement 1t is perfectly apparent nevertheless 1t is being con- stank1y crowded out of the fields where E has been so long employed and as ome goes along tho number seen is rap- idly gfowing less. For instance there ere few eases today where the horse is employed to reach a certain point out q ths Wsy 6f estabnshed transportation facilities, and likewise Is it unusual to aee fhe horse employed For pleasure driving. The situation as well illustrated by the disappearance of the livery sta- bles Once there was the time when Norwich had a number of them. Today | is something hsId D find.

 And in the same way is the motor cal steadily driving the horse out of the several city departments. Heads of de Fartnents no longer employ horse and Wagon in going about supervising theil deprtment's activities. The machine! are speedier and permit of greater ac nonsp1lsnments and greater economy dhis is illustrated by many cases, bu pzrticulariy in the city of Indianapoli where in q csuple of months the fire de pnxtment will be completely motorized The upkeep of such a department it estimated will not be over s18,0e0 year while the feed for the horses alon hzAS1nts to nearly $z3.Ooo.

TEIE srfuAnoN CONCERNING MEXICO

A letter of former Senator Albert B. I Fall to Senator Lodge. eoneefning the l oil question in Mexico and elsewhere and given publicity by Senator Lodge in the coufse Of debate On the Eei6fnbian treaty has been so misunderstood and made the basis Of such hlsrepr esefta- tions that a few words Of explanation' may prove usefni, writes BrighAln in
 the Boston Transcript This letter was written March 9, before MT. Fall as-' stunned the duties of secretary of the in
 terior and set forth in some detail the
 efforts of the Britlsh sovefnnent to dom-
 mate tho oil ihdp6try throughout the world and eventually to control It at the expense of all other 0il-producing countries. The letter WaA written for

 The question of vefacity fafsed be

 1t has nothing to do with the present sit uation, which relates to serious rnisrepre

In 1851 the requirements of sea service was abolished, leaving the course four consecutive years of study.
 At the outbreak of the Civil war in 1861, the Naval Academy was removed to Newport, R. l.. where 1t remained until the summer of 1885. whea 1: was re-establitlhed at AnnapoIia In 1870 the title of cadet-midshipmen was substi- tuted for midshipman, and three years later the course was increased by the addition of two years sea service In cruising vessels at the expiration of which the cadet-midshipman returned to the naval academy for examination in
 professional subjects prior to gradua- tion.
 Previous to the establishing of the na- val academy several attempts had been made to establish training schools for
 officers and sailors. of the navy. In 1898 Capt. M. c. Perry suggested a
 school for engineers but little was ac- couplished before Bancroft called the meeting in Philadelphia which decided
 the establishing of the present school At first there was considerable of a
 wrangle as to where the school should
 be located. Capt. Mayo, one of the committee, lived at Annapolis. and he believed that the world revolved about that place. Perry, another member, ai- ways voted with Mayo on general prin- eiples. Thomas A. c. Jones saw nothing good outside of Virginia. and he with another member suggested the Elizabeth
 river The others preferred islands in Chesapeake bay.
 The site finally chosen was an old army post. known as Fort Severn, lo' cated on the point of land which form. the easternmost extremity of the city oi
 Annapolis, and lies between the hafbol
 and the Severn river. Poor as the plae' was, in the eyes of Bancroft. he saw
 that iit was far less likely to chailenS' congressional criticism than | more pre- tentious habitation, and besides, as thI board of naval officers had said. tii fact was undeniably true that 1t migh

LONG AND CREDirABLE SERVICE.

It is a long and creditable record which has been established by Melvin F. Stone as general manager of The Associated Press. From the time it was organized up to the present, pc riod of 2S years, he has been its only general manager and as the result heavy responsibilities have devolved upon him and the news gathering agency that ex- ists today stands as the monument of his work As director of the organiza- ton he has been obliged to face many difficult situations where diplomacy as well as executive ability has been re- quired. He has acquitted himself most creditablyi and extended the news gath ering not only U all parts of the coun- try but to all Countries of the world.
 It can be appreciated ataerefore that the directors of the organization not only view but accept with regret his re. tirement from the post of general man. ager. step which is 1lecessitated By III health. It was because Of their fefuct. ance to lose his services that they granted him a years leave of absence last year and even now refuse to per. init him to sever his connection with thu organization entirely. Thus while he | steps out of the general frianagershiy completely he will be retained in thu office of secretary and the new offic, of counselor was created for hin through which the benefit of his knowl edge of the work can be retained.

the school open. The old building at the ancient army post at Annapolis, where the midshipmen began to receive instruction. had been termed by Secre- tary Bancroft "a modest shelter for the pupils" and 1t Is said that they certain fly deserved no more complimentary de- scription.
 Mr. Bancroft at once began plsnS to have the eAzdemy more commodiously housed, and he asked congress for af, appropriation of s2s,0oo to be expended for repairs, improvements and instruc- tions at Fort Severn, Annapolis. The secretary brought all his diplomacy and skill to bear and at last had the pro- , found satisfaction of receiving the ap- propriation by an ample majority, and of seeing the naval school of the United States then become duty organized by law
 Thus ended the long fight for it Three days after the bill became a law Secretary Bancroft directed the super intendent to enlarge the buildings afid construct new ones sufficient to accofn- modate one hundred midshipmen. This small beginning was the foundation of the present large and effective institu- ton, which trains the sailors. like West Point the military men. in a way equal to that furnished by any other country in the world.
