AGB OF STB AM Electricity tobe the I tic "llolland," i? thc New York, September 1. -In Mr. ! Belmont's ellice yesterday a commit tee representing the Brotherhood of Locomotive Kngincers were in con ference with Mr. Belmont marly all day. At thc same time plans were filed before thc proper department of the city government for the construc tion of a draught chimney that is to be HOD feet high, not quite matching in altitude thc chimney erected fur the power house in which is developed and transform?e! thc electric energy which operates thc surface railway nystcma of Manhattan. Both of there events point to difb i - ' ent features of the same thing. The locomotive engineers met with Mr. Belmont to discuss the relation of engineers who were trained to drive , steam locomotives to thc new subway . system, which is soon to he put in operation. Thc lofty chimneys now standing and soon to bc erected point to the prodigious scientific develop ment made possible by the investi gation of the scientists and the inven tors, and thc commercial application of these inventions and discoveries to transportation. A third feature is that which is within thc direction of thc great finan ciers, so that it now may bc said that in this city wc are having at present illustration of the perfect preparation that is now under way for the great chango from tho ago of steam as a transportation and power creating agc t J that of electricity. For some time the work of thc scien tists was of immediate interest, part ly because of thc amazing character of their discoveries and the perfection with which they devised apparatus by which electric energy could bc made to Bcrvo commercial ends, lt is less than twenty years since the electric current was BO oaptured by apparatus as to be available for hauling street oars. Not more than ten years have passed since tho inventors brought forth the third rail, first successfully used by thc New Ilavcu Railroad management for some of their branch or feeding lines, and afterward mag nificently demonstrated as a perfect agent for hauling passcDgcr cars upon the elevated systems of this city, Boston and Chioago. It seemed as though with tho perfection of the third-rail system the scientists had accomplished all that was absolutely necessary for the utilisation of elec tricity for certain forms of rail trans portation. There remained, however, tho in vention of apparatus, if that were possible, by which the main service upon the railway systems could be changed from steam to electric energy or power. Nono of the greater elec tricians or electrical soientist^ and not any of the more important railway managers were persuaded that any system that employed the direot cur rent would be in the iong run economi cal, satisfactory and safe if used for the greater railway service of the country. Bat whether or not science and invention were equal to devising apparatus and controlling natural forcea so that the greater railway sys tems could be served by electricity, was only to be demonstrated after patient investigation and expensive experiment. Patience and expensive .experiment resulted in the aggregation into one system of an apparatus and method by whioh the surface railways of Manhattan and Bronx could be pro pelled by eleotrio energy and without the use of the overhead trolley. If these qualities were Buffioient for so great a problem that Mr. Whitney waB SOFTCORE Like the running brook, the red blood that flows through the veins has to come from somewhere.

A tine demonstration of thc capacity pf that apparatus is now daily made through thc operation of electric train service between Schenectady and Ralston Spa, a village just south of Saratoga Springs. This road is road is sixteen miles long. By the utilization of this alternating current very high speed may bc obtained and maintained, thc control of thc train ?H BO perfect that thc starting and stopping of it are almost imperceptible and there are incidental advantages and econo mics too technical to explain in a let ter of this kind. By the perfection of apparatus of this sort the electrification of the en tire syBtetn of the New York Cen tral Railroad is brought so near that the important features of the finan cing and tho industrial relation of the community to this electrification arc now under serious consideration. Thc Brotherhood of Railway Loco motive Engineers is confessedly thc model organization of skilled arti sans. That it should be brought at this time if not into irritating or fric tion-like relations with August Bel mont and his rapid transit system, at least into relations that are entailing prolonged and intense conferences, must uot bc accepted elsewhere as in dication that the locomotive engineers arc prepariug to imitate their less wisely guided associates among labor organizations-that is to say, aro menacing Mr. Belmont and thc sys tem with a strike. Far from it. The locomotivo engineers have perceived quicker than the general public havo done how imminent and how radical are the changes caused by general electrification that ia now ir. progress. If it were a mero question a9 to the details of the rate of pay which motor men are to, receive in the subway, cr whether thc standard by which wages of the engineers upon the elevated system is to apply to thc subway, that difficulty could bo ended after a few conferences. But the railway engineers have for some time per ceived that as a body and within a few yearn their vocation is to be seriously threateued unless they fit themselves to servo as mortormen. Furthermoie they know that electrification of rail ways involves vast economic changes as well as some that are to be of tie uieuu??B D??r?? and social importance. Electrification is to proceed until much of what is now the rural portion of the country is to be urbanized or suburbanized. Furthermore, since from tho scientific point of view the U90 of electricity has largely changed tho service upon engines, since the power is furnished from without and not from within, therefore the relation ! of those who have hitherto been fire men to this change is of very impor tant character. As Mr. Belmont's subway system, combined with his elevated system, makes by far the largest employment of electricity for the transportation of passengers, and is within two or. three years to bc doubled through a dupli cate subway system, it seemed to the very clear headed leaders of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers that the opening cf the subway sys tem offered a good opportunity for reaohing an understanding as to the relation of the great body of men who are now locomotive engineers to the motor engines that aro hereafter to propel all of the local and, ultimate ly, all of the railway traffic of the oountry. Therefore thia consultation with Mr. Belmont representa the industrial feature of the change, a? the tcwer likJ chimneys now erected or in course of erection in New York point to the scientific triumphs represented by the perfecting of apparatus whioh controls both the direct and the alter nating eleotrio Current. Thc develop ment of the railway locomotive engi neer was coincident with the slow growth of the railway systems of the United States up to 1865. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers was a growth and a fine one. But tho electrification of the country is to be, comparatively speaking, as sudden as the perfection of our railway systems was slow. Therefore these important industrial 'questions are concentrated into a few weeks or months. . There ie no danger of any strike. Both Mr. Iiis practice accumulate:* at such a rate that Ii ti \~> not able to -'iv.; it his attention. 11 o is compelled to work .I t y ami night, and every year there i.s an endless procession of broken down physicians going away to tho resorts in a feeble eifert to build 'ij> the health which they have sacrificed in order to serve their i'elluw beings.

The boy knocks until his knuckles arc sore, and then suddenly a stentorian voice roars from the room: 'Yes,yes; what in blazes is the matter with you? Do you think I'm dead?' Thc boy retires, turns in his report at thc office and goes to case his hand in cold water. ''Three-hours later a swollen eyed individual with wrinkles in his brow walks nj) to the desk. 'I thought I left a call here for 7 o'clock in the morning.' 'You did, and the bell boy woke you promptly at 7.' 'That's a little too strong,'' is the answer, and after you've argued with him for half an hour you haven't con vinced him that he was actually awakened as he had ordered. So it goes day after day. The women get up promptly in response to a call, while the men invariably turn over to have another nap."-St. Louis Globe Democrat. Settled Society. After the war a Boston man was stopping at the Planters' house, the principal hotel of Leavenworth, and coming down to breakfast late ofie moaning he partook of that meal with thc landlord. "W?i?, Inr. -;> said the land lord, "how do you like our western country ?" "l[d like it very well," said t he Bos ton man, "or would if society herc were in a more settled state." "Nonsense !" said the landlord. "Our~"societv is as settled as that of Boston." Just then Anthony burst into the dining room and out of a back door, with Jcnnison pumping lead at him at every jump and following him out into the outbuildings in thc rear of the hotel. "How about .society being as set tled here as in Boston?" said the Boston man os he and the landlord crawled out from under opposite sides of the table. "I had forgotten about that An thony-Jennison matter," said the landlord, "but if Doc Jennison has caught up with Anthony that is settled bv this time."-Boston Her ald. Just In Time.
