lielford. Th is report was accepted. Alderman McLaughlin- In all parliamentary hodies a certificate of election by a caucus or a certificate of election of a member of a body is Kumcient for him to seated in that body during its temporary organization or until that organization expels him from that body and substitutes somoody else in his Place. I do not oare to talk about the action of last committee; they probably acted wisely in their views of the case, out when this convention calmly meditates and follows the matter through they will immediately elect those men to be of your temporary organization. Because Mr.

Cunniff is chairman of this organization. and because some of the members of the organization (eel that he has not been elected rightly, is all the more reason why the delegates should be admitted. Mr. Cunnitf has votes enough when it comes to that, and when they are rounted up the certificates will show that he is entitled to his seat. The caucuses were held part and parcel of our organization, and when men come from them with regular eer- as members of the Democratic committee, they are entitled to their seats until wo find they are not legally elected.

I would move that the regularly elected delegates be admitted as members oi' the temporary organization. The motim was seconded. Chairman have heard the motion of Alderman McLaughlin, that the members of tho contesting ward delegations, who are seeking admission to the convention, having regular certificates be admitted to this convention. What is the pleasure of the convention? All who favor this motion will say aye; all opposed will say no. It is a vote.

The police will please admit the regular delegates from Wards 11, 12. 11, 19, 22 and 23. I wish to say for the information of the committee that the Ward regular delegation is not represented here. But the delegation contesting the regulars is represented by Councilman B. J.

delegation. Mr. Montague of Ward Chairman. 1 move, sir, that the delegation from Ward 19, headed by Mr. B.

J. Connelly, be admitted. Mr. is moved by ----Mr. hope, sir, that----Mr.

till I state the anestion. It is moved and seconded that the Ward 19 delegation, headed by Mr. B. J. Connelly, be admitted.

Mr. Barry of Ward 24. Mr. rise, sir, because I hope my position may be understood. I am personally favorable to the delegation, because 1 think they represent the Democracy.

I hope that the motion of Alderman McLaughlin, that only the regulars will be admitted will not prevail, as they were not regulars in that district. 1 hope they will proceed to take up delegations the usual manner. If the regulars do not wish to come here, we will give them all an opportunity to present their case. Mr. those circumstances I will withdraw my motion.

Mr. move that B. Connelly be allowed five minutes which to present his case. Chairman will state that while Ward 19 is not represented by the regulars, i think it can be represented here. It is the desire of the chair that all wards he represented.

Senator Donovan of Ward would move, as a substitute for that motion, that all contests be referred to a committee composed of the chairmen of the ward delegations representing non-contesting wards, and that the committee report at a subsequent meeting its finding in the cases brought before it. I make that motion because, as we all know, the Democracy at this time in the city of Boston is not at all harmonious. I believe that every member of this committee, no matter with whom he may agree or disagree, should do all that lies in his power to bring about the unity that once prevailed in this city and should prevail forevermore. There were many members who were chosen at regularly called Democratic caucuses for members of this committee who are not in favor of the election which was made on Monday evening last for temporary chairman. I was in favor of Mr.

Cunniff for chairman. If I was not I would not be here tonight. I was not in favor and I cannot agree now with the action that was taken by the last committee in the report it made. In some cafees I believe they acted fairly and in some cases I believe they did not. I urge upon you.

Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, in the interests of harmony, that the motion I have offered be adopted by this convention. Thus those who are now outside will join with us again and the Democracy will fctep forth in unity; will go forth and carry the election which should be ours. We cannot hope to succeed in anything we undertake if there are personal ends to be gratified. The watchword of the Democratic party is measures, not men.

No roan is greater than the party. So man that was ever a member of the Democratic party, no man that is now a member, no matter how great or powerful, but what if he died tomorrow the party could do without him. I say I was in favor of this organization and I am in favor of your action, as I show' by eery presence here tonight. I hope that my motion will prevail, and thus give those who are to come here their rights. I do not believe it is your desire to usurp the privileges of any man in the convention.

I believe, sir, you are honest, and I think every man here believes the same, I submit, sir, that the Democracy can never succeed unless the men who represent the Democracy by their wards shall represent them in this committee. Any contestant may have the chairmen of the uncontested ward delegations sit iu judgment upon his case and then have it reported to the committee. Alderman certainly hope that motion will be adopted. It is our desire, Mr. Chairman, and certainly you have some feeling in the is our desire that the meeting bring into harmony all the conflicting elements of the Democratic party.

The convention last Monday night was a very serious thing, because of the way in which it terminated. For this convention, which is only a art of the regular convention which was eld last Monday night to perfect the organization and hear the contesting wards, is, in my opinion, vital to the interests of the Democratic party. I am not a Cunniff man. neither am I a Maguire man, but 1 am willing to do anything I can. to offer any suggestion or abide by any decision that will from this time forth bring the Democracy into harmony in the city of Boston.

If the chairman of the regular organization of Ward 19 holds the certificate of election, and has not been represented. he should he allowed to tell his story before this convention. Then I say it is unwise for this convention to hear contested cases. Why cannot this matter go to the chairmen of the different wards in conjunction with the president of our temporary organization. You can hear contested cases and report back to us.

I intend to go to that convention on next Monday hs a Democrat and because it calls upon all Democrats who wrere elected to go there. There is a shadow of right in the call for that adjourned meeting, and there was a question raised at that meeting as to the election of the present temporarv chairman. There are other men who left that convention who feel morally certain that he did not have the votes. That is no nuestion for us to consider at this time, as the power was delegated to him by the retiring president. But as a Democrat I have a perfect right to come to this convention and to lay what I think is for the best.

It certainly Will help the Democratic party to allow these wards where there are no contests to decide upon the contests in the other wards. There are whole wards which are sented in this is the truth of the matter. I think that some wards in East Boston are unrepresented, but I may be wrong- I think there are other wards not represented, and there may bo men here who are not entitled to a voice under our rules as being delegates mnilarly elected. Let us have an arrangement whereby the chairman of the ward committees where there are no contests, with our Temporary chairman, mav settle this matter, and the Democratic party will bo stronger Cunniff It is no fault of the porary chairman of this convention that any wards are not represented at this convention so far as notices are concerned. All delegates were notified through the rlaily papers, and the secretary has cent notices to the members of the committee iti the contested wards and also in the uncounted wards.

So the chairman of this committee and the secretaries have done their full dutv in the premises. Mr a member whose place ss or ps mentary for to do business when there Is Rome suspicion that we do not represent the Democracy of the city. 1 trust tno motion will be adopted. Chairman have heard the motion of the honorable Senator from Ward what is the pleasure of the committee? Mr. Kane of Ward would amend tlie motion by adding that the temporary chair man be made a member of the committee.

This amendment was adopted, and Mr. Kane followed it with the two secretaries be added to the committee, but he withdrew the latter as a disapproving was immediately heard. Mr. Barry of Ward do not think there is any man who will go further for harmony in the party than myself. My chief aim in life has been to preserve harmony intheparty.

If 1 have failed to make a success of anything else, i ha ve made a success of that. During my Hrst year in office, and I may be pardoned for speaking egotistically at this time, I tried to secure harmony, and my efforts were successful. Harmony existed, and we wrere victorious in electing a Democratic Mayor. In the second year there was harmonv in the party, especially between those between whom the rupture now exists. Although the Democracy was defeated, it polled 31,000 votes, which was 4000 more than any candidate, defeated or elected, ever got before.

Because I am willing that harmony should exist, 1 can hardly agree with the motion of the gentleman. because think it is time that this committee was organized. 1 tbmk wo ought not to act upon tho contested cases until we have a full representation here from every ward in the city. I think that this committee is the legal committee. As it has been legally called, it ought to act upon the differences for which it has been called together.

I do not believe we ought to yield our rights to any other committee, because I believe we are the only legal committee in existence today. Therefore, sir, 1 hope the motion will not prevail, but that we will proceed to take up the motion of the gentleman from Ward 24 and consider the case of the contestants from Ward 19. Senator do not desire to occupy the time of this committee any longer, but I must take some exception to the remarks of the gentleman from Ward 24. I agree that he was president of the committee harmony existed, as every member of the com niittee will bear me out, and I will also agree with him that we are the only legal committee, and that we are the only committee that should be called together, and I think you as temporary chairman have the only legal right to call the committee together. While 1 agree to all that.

I do not believe in playing here. We may regret, by and by, if we do anything here tonight that is not for the best interest of the party. We are all here this committee has allowed the other regularly electee delegations, whether contests appeared against it or not, to a seat in this body. I believe that the motion I have offered will give those who are not represented on the other committee a representation in this one. We cannot afford to throw anyone out of the Democratic party.

It is a fact that the Republican party is in power in this city today and the Democratic party is in the minority. We cannot afford to turn anyone from our doors. 1 have no doubt there are men who ould formulate a policy to bring in recruits from the other side, but I had rather hold one Democrat in the party than to throw him out and look for converts in the Republican party. My motion does not interfere with the temporary organization of this convention as it stands today. No delegation need fear injustice at the hands of the chairmen of the eighteen uncontested ward committees of this city.

The majority of the Democratic party want victory and are not going to mete out injustice to anvone. I believe they will act fairly by every delegation. I believe they will act with more fairness than did the returning officers last Monday afternoon. Mr. agree cordially with everything the Senator has said; I agree with the idea thoroughly that we need concert and harmonious action.

My point is simply this. At the present time we have no complete temporary organization, when ono ward is not represented, and as the meeting has been called for everybody. This ward will have no voice other than in the temporary organization. It was for the purpose of completing the temporary organization, and it was only from the fairest and purest motives that I put the motion. Chairman the gentlemen ready for the substitute motion of Senator Donovan, that ail cases in contested wards be referred to a committee composed of the chairmen of the committees in all uncontested wards and the temporary chairman of the convention? The motion was then put and declared carried.

Mr. Barry doubted the vote, but a show of hands verified the declaration of the yeas to 30 nays. Mr. John B. Martin suggested that it would be well to indicate when this committee would hold its meeting.

The chair replied that all chairmen of the ward had not yet been elected, but a meeting would probably be held on Monday. On motion of Mr. Kane, the meeting voted that when it adjourned it be subject to the call of the officers of the convention. Collector Fitzgerald was then called upon for his address. He was escorted to the platform amid cheers.

He said: Mr. Chairman and Members of tlic Democracy of the City of In looking from this bench at the members of the Democratic city committee, my mind is carried back some thirteen years, and that is a long time, to when I presided over a Democratic convention in this hall that nominated the first real Democratic Mayor that Boston ever Prince, The circumstances connected with that nomination are as clear and distinct in my mind, and in the minds of many gentlemen 1 see before me, as if it had occurred the evening thirteen years ago when we elected him our Mayor. From time to time during these thirteen years we have failed to elect a Democratic Mayor, though numerically we have grown stronger in proportion than the Republicans have, and every year that we have lost our election it is because there have been dissensions among the Democrats themselves. Last year the Democrats got one of the best drubbings that they have receiv ed in thirteen years, and I was under the impression that it would have taught the Democratic party of this city a lesson of unity, a lesson of paying some deference to the differences winch each man has, and to the opinions of the party as a whole, and at the same time would teach men to loyally sup- nurt the regular candidates of the Democratic party. I was present at tho meeting held in the Meionaon, and I must say that that; convention was a disgrace to the Democratic party, a humiliation to the Democrats of Boston, and certainly one tothe Democrats outside of the city, and for which no man here can offer an apology.

It seemed as if we had become lunatics at that convention. We were not satisfied with standing on the floor, hut stood on the seats, and if there was a place higher than the seats then they would get tip there. There was neither rhyme, reason nor sense, and 1 am sure that we made a serious mistake. I am here because the temporary chairman is here. I follow nobody.

I am no man-worshipper, as I said to a reporter who came to me. I am here simply because prima facie this is the Democratic convention. If anybody else was elected in a similar wray I should be here when it was called. But, gentlemen, you must not imagine that because you claim to represent the regular Democracy that your work is done. In the words of President Cleveland, It is a condition and not a theorv that con fronts you.

There must be harmony in the ranks of the Democratic party. Yrou alone cannot win, and they alone cannot win. You say that you are the regularly constituted Democratic party, that you are the regularly constituted successors of the ones who preceded you. I would advise you that when you have temporarily organized this convention that you adjourn; that you wait; that you seek peace and harmony with those who are dissatisfied. 1 know there are men in this other convention who ill never go into it again.

1 would have your love for the Democratic party stronger than anything else. There are men who will go to every convention, who love the party stronger than anything else. We compose a quarter of the Democracy of Massachusetts. We ought to be harmonious and united, and we cannot be successful if we are not. I w'ould advise the Democrats of this convention, no matter who claims to be regularly elected, to hold out the olive branch to the dissatisfied members, meet them half way.

join hands in following the standard of the party. It is for every Democrat to try and bring about the victory. Under the Australian ballot system, where there is no ballot distribution and where it will be impossible to tno men up tothe polls, where every man will arrange his ballot in secret in the private booth, and according to his cannot expect victory unless you are united. Those are my sentiments, and if there should be a convention let it be much smaller than the one this evening. When Mr.

Fitzgerald had concluded, no business being before the meeting, a motion to adjourn was made by Mr. McLaughlin of Ward 8. At the request of Councilman Keenan, this was withdrawn to allow the Councilman to move that the committee which was to consider the casus in tho contested wards also consider and report upon a list of officers tor the permanent organization. Mr. Fitzgerald was at once on his feet to oppose the motion, saying: After the speech I have just made, 1 would not be consistent unless I opposed that motion.

I appeal to you, gentlemen, not to do anything to widen the breach which we hope by careful and judicious conduct to close so'quickly. This convention has transacted all the business that it was called for. The temporary organization is effected, and wo must now await the report of tho committee that is to consider the eases in the contesting wrards. Stay as you are. gentlemen, and you will see and reap the benefit of careful and slow action.

Mr. McDonald of Ward 24 also opposed the motion, but while he was talking, Mr. Keenan, after stating rather sarcastically that he was with no man, that he had been turned out of committees twenty-seven times by Mr. Cnnniff, withdrew hi3 motion, and the meeting then adjourned. NEW BOOKS.

There To the Editor of the Post: ish to make a correction in the re port published in your paper this morning of a conversation which I had with a ost reporter last evening in regard to the Democratic convention. The reporter evidently understood me to say that asked President Barry before the meeting to allow the secretaries to issue tho tickets of admission, and the president replied that ho had already sent out the tickets. What I did say was that at the meeting of the outgoing officers of the committee held previous to the convention a motion was made to have the two secretaries issue the tickets on behalf of the committee as provided bv the constitution, article 1, section 4. The president declined to entertain the motion, and replied that lie should issue the tickets himself, hich he subsequently did.

and invited the secretaries to assist him. I make this statement in justice to Mr. Barry as well as myself, as the paragraph as it appeared did an injustice to both of us. Yours very truly. Edward F.

It was composed of the members of the State committee and a number of the prominent men of the party from different counties. Tho meeting wa3 called to order by Chairman Davis about 2 and Charles W.

Comstock was chosen secretary. Mr. Swatout of Hartford made a speech advocating the exclusion of reporters. A. E.

Burr of Hartford favored an open conference, and said the only object was to establish a permanent headquarters, perfect the organization, and elect a permanent secretary. He said now was the time to perfect and strengthen the organization. He would like everything that was done today to go out to the world. Ex-Congressman Vance was opposed to any star- chamber proceedings. He saw no reason why the facts should not go out.

Mr. Hotchkiss of New liaven favored a secret meeting, if there was consultation of Democratic interests. He did not believe in giving the plan of campaign to Renublican reporters. you expect the gentlemen to express their views, it would he well to have a secret said he. A vote was taken, and the reporters were excluded.

The session lasted about two hours, the only action taken being a vote in favor of having the State committee open permanent headquarters. which is in accordance with a vote passed by the iast Democratic State convention. There was some dissatisfaction expressed by members of the State committee that the conference had been called without their sanction. One member of the committee attended without an invitation and expressed his sentiments quite INDIANS SIGN. Warlike Demonstrations of the Hostiles The Commission Itouted.

After listening to them for some time General Crook arose and said the rolls were ready for signatures. The hostiles rose in a body and left the couucil, yelling and singing, and influencing the remainder of the Indians to leave also. It was utter rout lor the commission.

Just ono Indian signed. Agent McChesney was compelled to send out for the police to keep the Indians out ot mischief. General Crook is nonplussed. White Swan and others would have signed but for tho warlike demonstrations of the hostiles. iawatha July Kickapoo Indian Commission met at Holden yesterday near the reservation, but on account of the hostile attitude of the Indians were unable to accomplish anything.

The commission was appointed to treat with the Indians for the sale of their reservation of 9000 acres iu Jefferson and Brown counties. The Indians are unanimously determined to have no dealings whatever with the commission. DEFEAT.

THE DUTY ON WOOL WASTE. Washington, July Treasury Dr partment today decided an interesting ques tion in regard to the classification of so-called gametted wool waste, on an appeal from decision of the collector of customs at New York assessing duty at 30 cents per pound on a recent importation of that merchandise which they claimed to be dutiable at the rate of It cents per pound. Acting Secretary Batchellei says that the question as to the classificatioi of merchandise of this character was decided by the department on tho 2Gth of October, 1887, and it was then, as it was on the 13th of July, 1887, held that wOollen waste, whicl may have been broken up ana put through the garnetting machine, whereby it becomes prac tically scoured wool, was dutiable at the rat prescribed for scoured wool. The decision in the case in question is therefore affirmed. TRAIN WRECKER CAPTURED.

Today they show' some wonderful opportunities for the purchase of fine goods cheap, as will be seen by a reference to their advertisement published in another column. has beon, however, no such addition to our knowledge of Savonarola or his times, within the last, quarter of a century, as to require any change in his estimate of his individuality or of his work.

The great, difficulty remains that claim to prophetic power which Savonarola made, with regard to which his own utterances were various and conflicting, especially when he was put to tho torture. Villari still maintains that this was the imperfect self-delusion of a fanatic tempera meut, natural to the man and his age, and fostered by the course of events which often fell out as tho monk predicted, but ho will not allow anything of conscious charlatanrv in the character of Savonarola. It is unfortunate that this weakness in him was made historically as prominent as it was by the immediate circumstances of his fall. Villari spares no pains to enforce on the reader how much life and work exceeded the bounds of a mere prophet of evil, while he gives full value to these prophesies as a source of popular power. But it is rather in the role of tho statesman and the reformer that the author presents his hero, and he makes out so good a case that he may fairly be said to have restored tho right point of view from which to regard him.

The substance of his plea has already been made familiar to scholars, and his work remains the authority on Savonarola and his age, by virtue ot its learning, which represents tireless research, and of its eloquence also. The pic- turesqneness of the character of the Floreutine preacher does not stand ont so clearly as in more imaginative and condensed writers; but the broad lines of his work in politics, in reform and in agitation are here drawn as nowhere is rather history than biography.

With portraits and illustrations. 2 vols. New York; Scribner Wellord. 1889.J VELASQUEZ AND HIS TIMES. This immense monograph upon Velasquez might also ho called an encyclopaedia with equal justice, for though the preface informs us that some portions of the original work have been omitted, so much remains that it is all-suftieient.

It is conceived on tho thoroughgoing German plan and though a semblance of unity is given to it by chronology and the catalogue oi the works, there is room for episodes of all sorts, biographies of persons mentioned, description of cities, and in genera! whatever information the author came upon in pursuing his subject. It is consequently useful rather for reference than for continuous reading and belongs with the class of techni- al artistic works. The cuts which illustrate it are well chosen to show the scope of Velasquez and are done with sufficient excellence. The index makes its multitudinous contents available. The genius of Velasquez is made out with clearness, notwithstanding the extraneous matter with which it is encumbered; his place historically and his value both as a national painter and in the realm of universal art is distinctly shown.

The criticism is entirely and by attending to it consecutively as it emerges from tinuto time upon the page one obtains a just and full impression of the characteristics, resources, interests and the special conditions under which he worked; his biography, too, comparatively slight as is tho record of his life, is well doue; ill that ono most wishes to know will be found hero; and if one has either the precious leisure to read or tho skill to skip tho unessential parts, full of interest as they are to students of Spanish civilization, he will have no reason to find fault with the liberal measure of erudition to which he is treated.

Whether too much has not been sacrificed to the endeavors to cover a wide field may bo doubtod. Certain it is that the information given as to a large part of the books is not of a sufficiently extended nature to enable the reader to judge of their character; and in making a selection from the lists given it will he necessary to rely more ou Professor judgment than on any facts stated by li im. It is well, therefore, that he has made liis to of a somewhat specific character.

He rejects, indeed, and rightly, the idea of prescribing a fixed course of reading on each subject, a method almost inevitably leading to perfunctory habits of study in which completing the prescribed course is looked upon as in itself tho goal rather than as being a means to an end. But the hints without giving a fixed schedule indicate the books that may properly be taken as the several stages in a course, still leaving some discretion to the reader. Without being wholly satisfactory in either of its branches, the manual is the best we have, and has in addition undoubted merits of its own which will render it a valuable aid to education, both for instructors and for those who prosecute their studies without other guidance than it will afford.

The special interest of this volume lies in its attitude to the Puritans in those matters for which they have been most blamed in our times, their persecution in religion and their vigor in warfare with the Indians. Fiske does not range himself on the side of their hostile critics he places himself iu the environment of their small encampments of civilization in tho wilderness, and while he does not praise the temper of Endicott and Norton in particular, he understands the public situation as well as the moral one, and brin two good answers on behalf of the fathers: first, that tolerance in religion is a lato virtue and was not included in the Puritan ideal of their State, and secondly that the paramount, necessity in such a State so circumstanced was to preserve its integrity which was threatened by the schismatics.

Similarly with respect to the Indians he does not conceal his satis faction that ludiau warfare, on the part of the Puritans, was final. This adjustment of the historical perspective is just what was lacking in Mr. Brooks onslaught on the Puritans; and, in general, it will afford much-needed correction of the opinions with respect to the Puritans which have gained an easy currency in recent days, for tho reaction of libeial thought and philanthropy upon history should not bo permitted to result in an unjust judgment. The chapters which deal with these matters are most full of interest, but the whole book is uovel and fresh in treatment, philosophical and wise, aud will not be laid down till one has read the last page, and remains impatient for what is still to come.

By John Fiske Houghton, Mifflin it 1889.J MANUAL OF HISTORICAL LITERATURE Professor C. K. of Ilia- torical is, he tells us, primarily designed as a guide for the use of students in history. It was apparently the intention to enumerate with a brief description of each the more important works to which one wishing to prosecute a course of historical reading should refer, and, while leav ing the selections of the individual books chiefly to the reader, to indicate in a general way the proper order in which they should be read. There is much both in this plan and in its execution that will commend itself to those using the manual.

The list of books described is large and fairly complete. In any undertaking of this sort the determination of the particular works that shall be selected is largely a matter of indidvidual taste. Professor selection is not perhaps in all respects the best; indeed, some serious omissions may bo noted. Thus the excellent of M. finds no place in these pages, and worse still, the great work of Demombyues, entitled is not mentioned.

The carriage wras demolished and the occupants slightly injured. Action at Mertlng of Stork Vote Against the Nrw ivir. Clinnge From Horses to Electricity. A meeti the stockholders of the West End Street Railway Company was held at the Meionaon yesterday morning. President Whitney called the meeting to order at 11 In the absence of Vice President Cummings, the treasurer, J.

It. Goodspeed, acted as secretary. About seventy gentlemen were present. President Whitney stated the reason for tho calling of the meeting, and in a short address set forth the needs of the increase in stock asked for. He stated tho great increase in the Brighton and Arlington electric lines, ind said ho believed the increase in the earnings with the railway over the entire city w'ould be 30 or 40 per cent.

Of the 230 miles of track now in use. over thirty miles have been laid with new track. Of tho remainder there we several miles which will not have to be touched at all, as the speed attained by thd motors will be so slow that the tracks now laid will answer the pnrnose. It cost, tho first nine months of this fiscal year, $104,202 for repairs. Over $400,000 has been spent on the cars which stand on the books at $763,000.

Since last year there have been purchased 225 new cars. It will cost $100 per ar to fit each ono for the electric railway, and nothing is lost iu changing from horse to electric. They are perfectly adapted to the business. It has been necessary to buy new horses every year. Last year 1350 were purchased at a cost of $204,008.

There are now 7135 horses which stand on tho books at $950,000 00. There will be no loss on horses. There is not a foot of real estate which the road owns that it can dispense with. The average cost of running horse cars is 10.10 cents per mile. The cost of running the Allston electric line, with all its disadvantages, has been 3 cents per mile.

For the fuel alone it has been 1 Va cents per mile. The directors believe that the cost of running the entire electric line will be but 2 Vs cents per mile, while the enpineers think it will be less. This all means that with the electric system tho public will be given the accommodations it needs and desires, and for this the increase in stock is asked for. Following is a verbatim report of President address: Before tho stockholders take action in ref erence to the matters that are proper to come before the board as business matters, I desire to say a fewr words explanatory of the reasons why the board of disectors come at this time and hour to the stockholders to ask for so large an increase of stock. I think at the last meeting of the stockholders in November we reported that we were then in the midst of putting in some electric roads, which we believed would solve the problem, as far as it was possible to solve it, of rapid transit and better accommodations for the large community that we serve.

I am happy to say that, since that time, those roads have been put into operation, and they have not only met the highest expectations of the company, but they have more than fulfilled the hopes of the community. For full testimony on that fact I refer to every simile unprejudiced citizen of Cambridge who is familiar with the operations of the electric road there, and to every single unprejudiced citizen of Brookline and Brighton district who has bad occasion to use the cars and witness the operation of the road in that section. So far as I am toe sentiment throuirh- out the city of Cam bride and throughout the section where this electric road goes is entirely unanimous; and every community, so far as 1 am aware, that is reached by this road, is extremely anxious that it should be extended within their limits. On the 6tli day of July last the road from Harvard square to Arlington was opened for travel by the electric cars. The time from Arlington to Harvard square, which was certainly the quickest time that has been made from time immemorial before, or which it has ever been possible to make, was thirty-five minutes.

The schedule tiim today is twenty minutes. We make, on that avenue, only occasional stops, aud I have heard but one expression of opinion in regard to that whole system, and that is of the heart iest approval of the w'hoie thing. So that the company now comes before these stock holders and tho community in this position that it and the community are satisfied that this electric system is the system that will at commodate the people; and it is, furthermore, a system that is so much cheaper in its tions that it is advisable, by all means, for the company to put it in at the earliest possible day. It is extremely fortunate that the interests of the community aud the inter ests of the road run in parallel lines on this question. And the company, considering how these communities are interlocked, how these cars go from one end of the city to the othert from Somerville and Charlestown to Franklin Park, and from the Marine Park of South Boston to Harvard square and Arlington in Cambridge, finds it utterly impossible to take up the question piecemeal.

It is compelled, fron its verv situation, from its position, absoluteh compelled to take it up wholesale. The fuli benefit of the system cannot be felt until the cars are taken off from one through route And if the company proposes to stop its cars upon any particular line, if it should propose to stop its cars that now run from Harvard square to South Boston at Park square and go no farther, that will seriously inconvenience the people that are now travelling over that line, and create a clamor which it would be extremely unpleasant for the company to meet. Therefore. I say that while the com pany might prefer, in some respects, to change it line by line, yet surveying the whole field it is absolutely impossible to do so. Therefore in making a change from horses to electricity we must necessarily include the whole sys tem.

1 think I stated to the stockholders at the last meeting in this hall that the only two et sential principles involved in the successful operation of electricity were, in my judgment, the power of carrying, the ability to carry the power for a certain numbei of cars over the wire, and the subject of traction. These twe things were demonstrated long before the West End undertook this problem. 1 am happy to say that the mechanical details of the motor for the transmission of this powe have been since that time so far perlecte that responsible companies have come for ward ana offered us such guarantees its to the reliability and durability of these machines that they have eliminated all of tho unknown quantities, so far as the company is concerned. Now, then, take for instance the matter of power. Many of you, if not all of you, are aware that the company lias recently made a purchase of the property of the Hinckley Locomotive Works for its power- station.

Now, the real electrical centre of this hole city, inside of Charles River, is at the corner of Pleasant street and Shawmut avenue, we are even now very near the electrical centre from that point. As the travel increases to the southward and westward, or in the Highland District, the electrical centre will move north until in a very short time it will be almost on a line with this property. We studied the problem very closely and there is not a place in this city so well adapted for the purpose of running this whole electrical system as the very spot we have secured. And it is possible, from this spot, simply by adding engines and boilers and dynamos and a simple duplication of the parts, to run every car inside of Charles River, including South Boston, from now on, lor the next ten, fifteen and I do not know but tw'enty-five years to come. If the company should feel that it was safe to place its entire plant upon that property and depend upon its feeding lines to operate tho cars all over that point, there is property located as well as any property in this city could be located for the operation of all these cars inside the Charles River from now on for the next quarter of a century.

So that, in making this departure, we are making a departure which, so far as that particular property is concerned, ends the matter for years to come, li is a question which every one of you gentlemen, stockholders of this company, will realize the force of. And if we should hereafter come to you and ask for further capital for the location of another power house iu some other station, you will understand the reason why, and that is this: Doing so large a business as we do, serving so large a community as we do. it is a question whether it is safe and proper for us to depend altogether upon the location of the power house in one district. We believe that, for the present, it is sufficient. We believe that we can so put up these buildings and this property as to make it almost absolutely fireproof, and that the question of another sta tion in some other quarter of the city mav lie postponed, perhaps, for a long time.

So much lor that; and I speak of that so that you may understand how important and significant thn great departure is. Here from one station can operate all tho cars inside Charles River We could, indeed, go outside Charles River. But the crossing of a current of electricity be yopd water, I am told, is involved in some danger, and therefore it is the part of wisdom to have a power station upon the other side of the Charles River, perhaps; another powrer sta tion there. The operation of these cars will involve at no distant day the furnishing of 10.000-horse lower for the operation of the cars. Every me familiar with mechanics will know that the cost of putting in horse power in a large plant is about $100 per horse pow'er.

and very man can estimate tor himself about, what it shall be in that proportion. I do not. suppose that wre shall need ail this sum at once. But we propose laying out these works Mid entering upon this whole business upon a comprehensive plan. And, for the purposes he stock is issued for, we have a right, as fast as it is necessary, to make these expenditures.

Then, as to the motors: A good motor, a good double motor such as we are using, will cost about $3000, and a single motor about $2000. And it depends entirely upon the number of cars we equip, as to the number of motors we shall want. We are today running ietween 700 and 800 cars. And, if the experience of our travel since the use of the electrical cars was introduced is any criterion, we shall not only want that, but an immense number more almost immediately. There, ou can see, is another million and a half or two million dollars.

Then the wiring and the poles and all that sort of thing will cost from $5000 to $0000 a month. There is auother million dollars. On motion of Mr. Hyde, it was voted that the jylaws be amended and changed bv striking out the following words in article 4: no person shall, as proxy or attorney, cast more than fifty votes unless all the shares so repre- nted by him are owned by one The following motion was then made, by Mr. Hyde: That the diroctors be and they are hereby authorized to petition the Board of Railroad commissioners for leave to increase the capital stock of the company beyond its present authorized capital stock by the amount oi $4,500,000, divided into 00,000 shares of common stock, such increase being proposed to enable the company to pay for construction and increase of property, and in particular for expenses incurred and hereafter necessary to be incurred in introducing and perfecting the electric system of motive power in the operation of the cars of the company; sur.h new shares to be issued from time to time by the directors, as provided by law.

President Whitney appointed G. T. Braman, W. A. Sargent and T.

ll. Viaux tellers. The result of the vote showed 55,855 shares cast in favor of the motion, which was declared passed. The meeting then adjourned. THE WEATHER.
