These three la conic statements adequately describe the attitude oi the opposing parlies and in ciilentally give a hint as to their future action. Although the officials of both companies. in San Francisco ar subordl nates and could not of their own volition take any steps towards the settlement It Is nut thought likely that any steps will be taken while the local officials report they are handling the business without any unreasonable delay. The operators on the other hand state that they will carry on the fight even if the companie find a man for every key and they declare they are prepared to stay out six months if necessary.

NEW YORK, July 2.-An extremely Interesting Innovation In railway pas senger transportation in this country will be Inaugurated next month, when, It is announced, the Union Pacific Rail road will place in service 12 gasolene rail' motor ears. The cars are intended for branch-line traffic, where the fast and frequent service required cannot be maintained by ordinary trains except t a loss. Th latest type of these cart deve loped at tl Omaha shop of Hie Union Pacific make 60 mile an hour with a 200 horse power engine, reaches high peed within six car lengths, and can be stopped within 120 feet. With these advantages the cart can be put on a much faster schedule than Is possible with the steam locomotive. Outwardly the newest of the cars, wbk'h ere built entirely of steel, resem ble a turned-over racing yatch. The forward end tapers sharply, and the mof and rear are rounded off to reduce the air residence and avoid the vacuum produced by a square car. Rounded window give to the passengers a wide range of outlook, and increase the nauti cal appearance of the ear. In co U weather the cars are to be heated by hot water from the cylinder jacket. Tbey ar lighted by acetylene gas shining through opalescent panels. For sanitary reasons the floor of the cars are built to that tbey can be thoroughly cleaned by fltmhing with hot water. The familiar ytem of vent ilation has been replaced by roof venti lators which exhaust the inside air by suction, fresh air being taken in from th oar roof in front. Vibration is re duced to a minimum by the way in which the motive power is balanced, Tli cost of operating the cart varies from ten to twenty cents a mile, ac cording to the density of th traffic, . but the record kept prove beyond doubt that the rail-motor car will make po sililt great Improvements in handling branch line passenger traffic.

J- ; In Letter To Friend, Talk On Collier's Weekly Article. WASHINGTON, July 2.-Vice Presi dent Fairbanks has made no public reply to the scandalous attack made on him recently by a sensation-loving weekly periodical, but he has keenly felt the attempt to discredit him br giving space to idle rumors, so wild as to lie self-discredited. In a private letter received here Mr. Fairbaanks says: 'The real author of the 't article. of course is M -. He knows per fectly well that I was not able to read the entire manuscript of the book and knows also perfectly well that nearly every statement contained in his article is simple a pure, cold-blooded falsehood. The thing seems really to be the. work of a man of diseased mind. No sane man, even with no regard for truth, could put together so many falsehoods without an occasional statement of truth." " . - It is well established that neither the writer of the article in question nor the periodical itself made the slightest et temp to verify the story from the Vice President or any other party mentioned- in the article. It is generally under stood the alleged data was supplied by former confidential employee of Mr. lairbanks. and was published without any apparent regard whether the state ments were true or not. Both the writer and the publication have quite a local reputation as being careless as to whether th facts are straight at lontr as they get a "sensation" and can ob tain credit from the Ignorant and credulous of "exposing" something. The periodical which published the article ha arrogated to itself the position of censor of newspaper morals and is con stantly lecturing and hectoring newspa pers (for lack of discrimination in pub lishing advertisements. It also orofessegl virtuous indignation over the allcced i sale of space In the news columns and! of editorial opinion. Yet it has Ume( and again published attacks on leading! men and even newspaper based on al-! leged facts the untruth of which could, easily have been ascertained by a simple! inquiry. Incidentally it is one of the principal backers of an agcrejration of talent which is now canvassing the coun try for .funds to furnish the newspapers with "data" concerning public men and their performances of their duties at Washington. This "data" is to be com- piled by writer for this and another similarly sensational periodical, the idea being that by securing the cooper ation of the daily pre such attack on publie men a that mad on the Vice President will seeur wider circulation and have more influence. The campaign of vIllltkatioB i to be conducted in the name of the "People" and those manag ing the combination will select the vic tims. : 8AL00HS OUT OF BUSINESS.
