In thIs country durini the last. ten yearM ,
citing Machusctts In particular as flu
Illustration of Urn whole. In thnt tate the
IIne opcratc4 by here power declined from
f3 ; miles In 1888 to lesa than thirty miles
In 1Sl7 About 1&OO miles of electric road
have been equipfed In that time and tlio
total mfleago has increased In the ten years
snore than 1,000 miles. The change in the
relations existing between the railways and
the municinalties nnd the raitwoys and the
\.p/ public liasbeen equally rapid and equally
'I remarkable. Formerly the street car was
a small affair , drawn by one or two horses ,
Thov1ng at a speed not to exceed citit to
ten inIls an hour ; now cars run at high
rates of speed , even in city streets , and
often excecdtwenty-Ilvo miles an hour when
away from the crowded districts. This Increase -
. crease of speed has had most potent ro-
- suIts , as giving a great Increase 1n the
area served within a given time. The aver-
ngo city worker cannot spare more than
. one hour for the Journey from his house to
y his work ; and this limit determines the
availability of the suburban districts as a
; place of. residence. A street car drawn by
horses moving at tim rate of eight miles
an hour caulti servo an area of 200 square
miles , within which ieoplo might reach the
ccn1oi oC r district by one hour's travel.
With electric power and the speed of the
' cars rcathing nn average of fifteen miles an
, hour0 the area which can be serve within
fLfl hour's journey from the central point
reaches 700 square miles , or three and one-
half times na grcat as was the case when
horses vero employed. Naturally , popula.
tion has spread , and instead of being
$ obliged to reside within limited areas , where
land is expensive and rents consequently
high , the P001110 are distributed into districts
where IaIUI is of less value. and where each
house may stand detached from its neigh-
bore. . This spread of population Irns reacted
again on the street railways ; for when
:
rteonlo had not so far to go. they would
vaIIc to and fro from their work ; but now
the railways are steadily supported by the
patronage of those 'who live beyond walk-
lug distance from the heart of the city. and
must therefore use the railway cars at. least
twice In ouch day. Another class which
benefits greatly by rapid street car service
Is the land owner , who finds his fields bring.
ing prices far above what he could obtain
.
for them for agricultural purposes. There
is one notable point of difference from Euro.
penn practice. In Europe street railway
fares are based on the theory of the steam
r roads. and the rate is governed by the this-
tanco traveled. In this country , it may in
'
general ho said of street railways that their
rates of fare provide for a long ride for a
sinaI ! cost and a short ride at a relattveiy
bigh cost. It is undoubtedly trim that any
passenger carried the full distance allowed
by a street railway for a 5-cent fare oh-
tains his transportation at less than the
actual cost to the road , the profit coining
.
- - - - from those pascugers who use the street
cars as a luxury for a short ride , or from
those to whom the saying in time in a short
' ride na compared with walking amounts to
more titan the sum paid ,
'rho transportation of merchandise is a
feature of the long-di3tanco trolley lines to
which little attention yet been paid ,
)1lt ) Which has great possIbilities , in the
, . - . opinion of the writer. These lines offer rc-
inarkabie opportunities ( or the development
, f convenient express and larcols-dehtvery
service between cities tuiti their suburb3 , and
oven far out , into the country. Freight
could also be cheaply carried in this way
from town to tows , and a large business
might be built up in the transportation of
market iirothiio nud of milk from the coun-
iry into the city. Platform cars might be
arranged so that heavily loaded vagons
. . ennui bq taken bodily for long distances at
- - a material saving in time and expense. The
_ _ relief of the highways from heavy traffic
I. _ might thus be very great ; it would also
save the community large expenses for repairs -
pairs and renewal of roadt. for there would
be a corresponding reduction In the wear
nut ! tear of the way front heavy teaming
and the destructive chopping action of steel
horseshoes.

of fact as long-range practice of heavy
guns now Is. It is understood that the
4avy department Is keeping its investiga-
tion5 carefully to Itself , as it desires to
have whatever evolutions are reached for
the exclusive use of American battleships.
Attention Is also being paid to the other
possibility of wireless electric impulses , of
which much has lately been written , the
exploding of an enemy's magaxines by
sympathetic vibration , There seems reason
to believe that if certain dlmcultles on
which electricians are now workingcan be
overcome , it will be possible to Wow up the
ships of a hostile fleet while they are still
many miles away by creating by means of
ether disturbance a spark In their maga-
zines. When this possibility was mentioned -
tioned in connection with the early r.-
nouncements of Marconi's work in Enghi.d
much doubt was thrown on it. but Amen-
can electricians who have taken up the
work and built improved apparatus for
carrying it out , peak with confidence of
the probable outcome of their experiments ,
and are straining every nerve to bring ( ho
system into such shape as to be utilired In
the Present war ,
Eiectrlcztliy Driven 1xcnvnorn ,
It Is well known that ( lie Greathicath sys-
( cia for the boring of underground tunnels
line met with inor favor In London than
in New York , \ some years ago , It was
suggested for t1 skying of rapid transit
lines. This piano ? bbning through the underground -
derground strata w 'used successfully in
the building of the i1 underground dcc-
trio railroad in Lodn , nin it is being
adopted on the seveiI ljncs now in progress
of construction in th'4 lty. A now depart-
are , hIo'over , has b cn made In employIng -
Ing electricity iiistcthl of hand labor for
preparing the way for the iron shields
which are carried ahongwith , the excavators ,
and whose casings eventually form part of
the tunnel itself. Machines previously built
for this purpose with rotary cutters worked
voiI enough in rock or earth of equal hard-
ness throughout , but in the London excavations -
tions , the matetial encountered consisti
usually of clay interspersed with bowitlers ,
and the cutters often gave comparatively
poor work. Furthermore , such machines ,
hnvo tIme disadvantage of interfering with
the erection of tIme casing of the tunnel , and
made It diiflcult to preserve the proper alignment -
mont of the shields. An electrically driven
excavating machine is' now used , and the
difference In the quality as the quantity of
work done is remarkable. It cuts into hard
clay readily , anti delivers in cars behind it
all kinds of materials , including bowiders up
to four feet in diameter. It saves a great
number of laborers , and wihi be adopted for
all future work of the kind.
ItIve lii'i- ' Electricity.
Many ahip building yards and bridge
building establishments are now considering
the question of Introducing electric power
Into their works for the driving of each
tool by' a separate motor. Some of the me-
, tories have hydraulic installations for rivet-
lag purposes which it would ho Impossible
to comivert to a new system. Not only
hydraulic but pneumatic riveting will soon
bo superseded by a system employIng ekc-
tricity , and an electric riveting mCclilnc has
niroady been brought out. In works pos-
cessing a central station and a system of
wires for the transmission at power , for
punching , shearing or boring machines , it
is a simple matter to vlace the riveting machine -
chine vhero it Is needed , conmiect two wires
from the mains to the riveter and begin
time operation forthwith. Everyone who
works a hydraulic or pneumatic outflt
knows what a heavy item is the keep-up in
the total working charges. With the doe-
tnical system this becomes only a fraction
of the expenditure. The new method gives
no better work , hut a great deal more of
it , and thio machine by which it is carried
out vihl close 1.200'nivcts In a day of twelve
hours , requim1ng the attendance of only
three inch and a' boy. It can be moved
from 1)10cc to place with ease. A special
type mafia for ship building closes rivets up
to one anti ono-oighitb-Inch diameter. With
this increased speed of riveting , a dimcuity
was found in providing hot rivets quickly
enough , a reasonable number of the ordinary
portable forges not being equal to the task.
Now a small fan is used , driven by an dee-
tnie motor , to supply air to a number of
small furnaces. The plan enabies any
quantity of hot rivets to ho turned out , besides -
sides considerably reducing the aumber of
boys required for heating the metal ,

Electric lights for' household use have
heretofore been open to the objection that
they could not be turned down without putting -
ting theta out. Where they were used in
bedrooms nersons who neetleti a dimmer
light were forced to resort to gas , candies
or kerosene. Itcceiily this objection has
been overcome , awt sockets for imicandes-
cents lamps whiichitmablo 'a vcrsoii to regu-

wide limits can lTh be obtained. These

typo of these sockets there arc live of those
coils , and the light of tue slxteomi-canilie
power lamp can lie reduced by wo ar three

power. TIme work of a resistance coil is to
absorb sonic part of the electrical current
which seeks to pass through it , allowing
only the remaining force to act upon the
carbon filament of the lamp to protluco heat
and consequent light. In the new sockets
a button which turns time ( nh current into

turns on the current at the fIrst movement ,
but Instead of directing it through time car-

giving qualities. Another movement cuts
out another coil and gives more light. and
so on until all tIme cells are cut out and the
carbon gets the full strength of the current.
These flow sockets do not make any saving
in time cost of the dimumuer lights , as Is done
when one turns down a gas jot or a lamp-

Memorial day dawned yesterday under
a sky as bright as the blue of the flags that
fluttered from every staff and swept iTt
graceful folds along tIme fronts of the tall
buildings. Time slight rain of the preceding
night bad laid the dust and the fresh breeze
wafted a physical Inspiration that made the
long journey to the cemeteries a pleasure.
Not for years has so much red , white anti
blue hunting signified the celebration of the
tIny was anparent all over the city yesterday -
day morning. The exciting International incidents -
cidents of the previous weeks hati aroused
the patriotism of the people to a point at
which it was expressed In a practically
universal decoration. Flags were everywhere -
where : they waved from innumerable flag
staffs ; they hung pendant across the
principal streets and in ( ho residence
districts the porches and windows were
lavishly arrayed with the national colors.
The usual celebrations of the day were
made more than ordinarily impressive by
the military spirit of the time and there was
a very general turning out of the members
of the various vctem'anC' argantzations and
their friends to visit and decorate the graves
of their comrades in the various cemeteries.
The motor hines leadIng to the cemeteries
were well patronized during the early forenoon -
noon anti the numerous clusters and baskets
of llowvrs that were carried told of the
errand of the passengers.
1)ecorntllg the GraveS ,
The actual exercises of the day were begun -
gun at Forest Lawn cemetery at 10 o'clock
when the national salute was fired by a the-
tall consisting of Comrades Allison , pnrhin ,
Wiidcraian and Doherty. From thnt hour
until noon the members of the various posts
and relief corps were actively ; engaged in
strewing their burden of flowers on the
graves anti by noon not a sleeping soldier or
sailor had been forgotten. The graves in
tim Forest Lawn and Jewish cemeteries
were decorated by the members of trant
corps , these In Prospect Hill and Mount
Itopo by Crook corps anti those in the Holy
Sepulcher and the Bohemian cemetery by
Custer corps. The members of the regular
organizations were assisted by hundreds of
individuals who signified their patriotism
by sacrificing the product of their flower
gardens and conservatories to beaUtify the
sepulchers of the nation's dead. "i"
In the afternoon the usual 'extireises were
held at Hanscomn Park and fully fi,000 people -
plo stood for three hours fltleting on the
sidahiihhs of the narlc while the tribute of
music and oratory was rendered. The pro-
bram was preceded by a parade of the mill-
tary escort which formed at Seventeenth and
Farnhnm streets at. 1:30 : o'clock , under the
comiunlid of Marshal R. S. Wilcox and As-
sistamit Marshal Stone. A platoon of 'police
marched first and then the drum corps of
Custer post , closely followed by the Seventh
Ward Military band , the Omaha high echool
cadets , Lieutenant W. A. Campbell , U. S. A. ,
commanding , the Webster Zounves , Captain
0. W. Sues , and George Cook camp , Sons of
Veterans , Captain 0 , L. Salisbury , being

Joined near the park by the Grand Army
of the Republic organizatIons whom1 they es-
coned to the single shaft of marble near time
center of the park which commemorates the
dead of the republic , The escort formed in
a hollow square around the monument amid
the veterans wheeled into line in front of
them , The woolen of the relief corps occu-
plod the post of honor at the foot of the
mound and half a hundred children from time
public schools formed a crescent around the
monument , Time. chiidren contributed a
very pretty effect to what was already an
impressive scene. They were arranged lit
qouples , the girls dressed all in white. Each
boy carried a flag over his shoultieranti each
little girl a huge cluster of flowers anti flags
mind flowers were deposited at' the foot of
the shaft as childhood's offering to the memory -
ory of the dead. -
A selcetion by the band and another by the
Kountze Memorial Glee club wan followed by
reading the' roster of the year's dead by
Comrade S. T. Josselyn. The solemn ru-
unl of the Women's Relief corps was ron-
tiered by hlough , Jefcoat , Jiuhi , Ogden , Potter -
ter , henderson , Drake , Eastman , Walker
anti Snyder and thus was followed by the
equally impressive ritual of time Grand Army
of time Republic whIch was read by Comnman-
thor .1. 13. Funny anti Chnphatn T. J , Mackey.

elaborate exercises were to occur.
Address hisMr. . Mahmommey ,
After a couple of selection by the band
Comrade Lafayette Anderson briefly cx-
pressed the sentiment of time day amid In-
troiltmeeth T. J. Mahoney as the , orator of
time occasion , Mr. Mahoney poke at some
length and his more stirrimig utterances
were received with hearty applause. in he-
gimmning Mr. Mahoney said that one senti-
mneflt that was universally recognized In
this country was that of honor and veimera-
tioii for time boys of ' 61 , who bath made
it possIble that our flag should be hommored
by every nation on the earth. There were
no longer two im1ca to the question for
which they fough. It hind boon proposed
to draw an arbitrary line from east to vcst
to divide a great pation anti to separate
that which God hail joined together , And
this for the purpose of mnaintamiing in at
least ii , portion of that territory time immeti-
tution of hmumnan slavery , yhmichm , up to that
time , hind been the emily . stain ul'on thd
fair banner of our coumltry.

an occasion its this when time bands were

be tempted to thlmmk that soldiery was seine-
timing of a holiday , ' Ilut men hike these
veterans anti their comrades whose macin-
cries they met to sanctify knew that war
was no hmohhtlay enjoyment.
Mr , Mahoney emphasized one Impression
iionmm of the scone lie saw around him. Ho
said that when lie saw the radets'immrciming
with military alignment amid even the cliii-
tiremi not old enough to know vimat. war 1mm
wearing cadet caps and carrying tiaga on
theIr shoulders as they marched to time
imiusic of time bammcl it indicated that this
country could never stiffer from time cx-
haustion of its greatest resource , its living
muon. It would never hack neither living
nor patrIotic itmemi ,
Referring to the military spectacle of time
prcsent the speaker said that thm thay was
celebrated under new anti peculiar circumu.
stances. For time first time since the veterans -
erans had been mustered out of service we
are again at war , This ( line our banner bad
been raised not omly over our own soil but
in the tar Pacific. But no matter where it
went , it bath uoyer been carried as the em-
blem of a selfish contee' it was to set a
mark before the world that any people who
thirst for liberty might i their eyes on the
Stars anti Stripes and.tlmi the Inspiration
that. would lead them tdM1ceess. , The flag
had been planted itt , i.nttn. not as the i'm.
blent of contest , but tbtra greater number
of people might be fro. Uncle Sam had
added the Monroe docttihe to international
law and now ho had witen a now chapter
which made it known tq all men that no
government. great or anall should have the
right to maIntain in Lo tiose proxImity to

have to be written it b6OLI , but when tt

Uncle Sam would furnihthe trIbunals and
omcers of the court to1si 1bat it. was en-
forced. I
In conclusion Mr. M4htmney paid an eloquent -
quent tribute to the volbtt'eera who bad just
marched away to flgbtunder the flag theIr
fathers saved. They r 'worthy sons of
worthy sires , and it the hour ever came In a
future generation wheij lmo nation needed
defenders they would find other worthy eons
to go as cheerfully as time ; hati done.

NEV : YORK , May 30.-A special to time
World front Vnslmmmgton says one of time
most important branches of the government
war service , about which , for obvious reasons -
sons , little immformaion ( Is to be obtained , is
the Bureau of the Secret Service , The ondi-
nary capacity of the service has been douimled
since the declaration of wan against Spain
ammtl to no branch of the government is entrusted -
trusted such immmpontmmnt and delicate under-
tnkimmgs , The number of men actually ciii-
ployed in securing information for the use
of time government in this country anti
abroad cannot be accurately stated , but there
mire enotigim of them to make up a fuii umlil-
tary regiment of the most intelligent anti
highly trained servants of time nation ,
Their movements are naturally guarded
witim time utmost caution , but It can be stated
that in addition to the ordinary functiomms of
the service , such as the detection of counter-
felting , the agents of the secret service are
at work at every place in the worjtt where
lnforamatiomm is to be secured , or where per-
semis who may injure the govenimment may
be-In havana , in Madrid itseif-wimere it is
not anfo for aim American to discleso his sin-
tionahity on give evidence of his patriotism.
It is through this mysterious source timat the
govermiiiicnt gains much of the information
which inspires its plans for the prosecution
nf tim war noimiast Snain. btmt Is mzencrailY
regarded as having come through other
sources.
The reports of the operations of time scrv-
ice are trammsmitted to the chief of time bureau -
reau thmrotigit'many and dqvious channels ,
anti in a cipher more Intricate anti difficult
than timat employed by the most skilled of
diplomatic agents , -The identity of time men
cngagett in the service is as carefully
guartied na time secrets of time hiritisim for-
eigmi efficc. Only one man In the whole
country can really tell how ninny of time
secret agents of lime country nrc at work ,
anti the nature of their undertaking , lie
is Johmi it. Willcio , chief of the bureau , and
while lie is anmnzungly frank about ordinary
matters , the spimynx was a gossipy old
wonman , mis compared 'with hium , when the
work of his subordinates is mentlommed. A
request for information elicits a skeptical
smile and time emplmmmtlc assurance tlmat the
worl of lila d pnrtnment is time business of
nobody except' 'Ihje ' officials wimo supervise it.
The assurammee' 'scouched , In much more
polite langtimtgo , but it comes to that mean-
ing. About time only lmmformntionMr. , Wilkie
cnn ho inmiuceti to Impart is thmitthe service
is as nearly conmpletc and satisfactory as
could be desired. The ordinary offenders
with which the servIce imas to deal iii time
of peace ' are being pjmrefuhly looked after
9n , , if any enterprIsIng counterfeiter , or
"mooimshmtmmer" thinka time government has I1
hands too full of war business to Ionic after
himmi he is mistaken and wiil undoubtedly
find it out ,
flommimles tlmq Work ,
Tlmd war with Spain has just about doubled
the Work of time ecret serviCe , but none of
it is being nglected The war service is
made a legitimate part of its funetloima. '
It keeps the government posted , and by
watcimung the spies of the enemy Is of vital
assistance to the War department. Assistant -
ant Secretary Meiklejoimn of time Wan tie-
pum'tm'ent has beem entrusted with impart-
big to Mr. Wilkie all tips reaching tile tie-
partnient and of receiving time reports of the
officers from Chief 'Wilkie "whmichm may beef
of service to his department , but Mr. Wilkie
imimsolf directs time work , and 'It is doubtful
if tim assistant secretany of war is aimy
better acquainted with the details thamm the
ordinary citiza.
Time operations of the service cover a wide
range of territory amid there are no doubt
dozens of trained experts who mire worklmig
In a characterIstIcally mnysteriomma way iii
Europe , Asia. South America and in Cuba.
The service performed enibraces a wide
range from "spotting" , time immovenments of
Spanish ambassadom's to following persons
suspected of being iii time employ of Spain.
Wherever persons suspected of aiding Spain
are supposed to be operating , there or nut
far away will be found also a traimmed "ob
server" 'of the United States. Every nmovc-
meat , for imistance , of Senor I'olo , time
former minister to this country , has been
most carefully noted since he left Washing-
ton a month ago anti crossed tIme frontier
into Canada , amid tin American agent will
not be far away from him until hmo line
crossed the boundary line that separates
hue own country fromim France , Every detail
of imis movement , time nanmo of every jersomm
lie consulted In Canada and those hmo.-.will
confer witim in Emmgland and eu time conti-
flout is or will bc known to time chief of
tIme secret service amid to such officials as
may be' concerned.
1mm thIs war time greater part of time duties
of the secret agents is In watching persons
suspected of plotting against time Ummiteti
States. l'robably 200 or 300 persons arc
under constant espionage and will ho
watched so bug as their conduct requires.
Time most striking example of the efficiency
of the service in connectlomm with tim war
was furnished by time detection anti arrest
of Dowimtng , a former Amenicami sailor , emn-
ployed by time Spanish minister to secure
unfonnintiomi about the defenses mind equip-
merit of time coast forts and our war simlhms.
Downimig was arrested within two days of
time date lie enteremi ( lie emimploy of Spain ,
Ulion his person was founti evimlenco that
seenmingly hmroved his guilt. lie was arrested
here in Washington mind confined lii tIme
military prison at ( ho marine hmarracims ,
wlmere , after aim imprisoimment of three days ,
lie committed suicide by hmaumging , Downing
% 'as watched from the moment he reached
Montreal to confer with the Slmanishl mm-
lster and a secret servIce officer was near
until he was arrested lmero. A number of
other imersomis suspected of being spies have
been examined with the utmost secrecy ,
but have been able to clear timenmselvcs.
Several women are employed to secure information -
formation in quarters where it would be
'Impossible for a mnan to 1o so anti they have
renmiered an exceilemit service , time most In-
portant feature of which bas'becn their
ability to conquer the weakmmess of their
sex for gossip ,
The reconmls of time govcrnament since time
war began contain mimany intcrestimmg facts
and romances. Most of timeni concern per-
Ions who wouid not like to have them
published. Chief Wilkie , who was a good
newspaper reporter before he was made chIef
of the government sleuths a month ego , may
write some of them after time war is settlemi ,
but it is moro than probable most of time
good storks time secret agents haye tie.
veiopQth wIll never come out of time archives
of the bureau which works night and day
amid 1mm runny coumitnles for tIme lrotectio'm of
