Mr. Davis went to Stamford, Conn., to-day to see to placing a new brake | on his automobile, which is being com- | | pleted at the factory of the National | Motor Company in that town. The ac- | cident which caused a postponement of | the start was due to the giving way of | an extra brake which was put on for use in descending mountains.

To the Editor of The Call—Sir: The transcontinental automobile trip will have & peculiar interest for me. Perhaps of all the thousands none will better appreciate the pleasures and dangers more than I I have traveled both for business and | pleasure by river and by rall, South and | North, East and West, but the pleasant. t of all was by a one-horse conveyance. Even through the Rockies, with the song | of the coyote to lull me to sleep and at | times the roar of the mountain lion to lull me awake again. I found the Stanton | pike to be the best macadamized road and the easiest grade from near the capl- tal (D. C.) to Parkersburg, on the Ohio River. It traverses the length east and west of West Virginia, through some of the grandest scenery to be found outside of Switzerland. Deer and smaller game | add a zest to the trip that only a sports- | man can enjoy. The worst ro: are not through the mountains, but vhere and everywhere in the a sissippi Valley from the Ohio to the lakes and as far | West as the Missouri River. Chuck holes, dust and mud will be the automobile’s | portion on every road for many hundred miles. Prairle chickens, duck and small game will alone be found in all this re- on.

SANTA CRUZ, July 1.—Members of the | Grand Army of the Republic, the Sons of | Veterans and the Woman's Relief Corps now have the town for the next half month. To-day every train brought members of this order to the city, and for the past week they have beer coming overland. The camp ground is situated in a pic- turesque spot bordering on the San Lorenzo river near its mouth, and toward the south are the blue waters of Mon- terey Bay. It is a tented city, and this is an old fashioned reunion. The old soldiers and their entire families reside in the tents. The tents are arranged in rows with streets between. Through the middle of the center street i= a canvas canopy transformed, with the ald of redwood trees and boughs, into a Under this are eas chairs. It is a family gathering place, where the days of the war and reminis- cences are talked over. Water mains have been lald down each street and fau- placed at every liftle distance. Six furnaces for cooking purposes have been placed around the grounds. The streets have been wired and electric lights fur- nish the light at night. From the amount of cordwood piled In tiers it looks as if there was enough for mpfires for months to come, but a irand Army encampment without a nightly campflre would not be one. Im- mense logs have been hauled from the river and these will be used for fuel. The Wallace Reynolds Post, G. A.

The immense as- sembly tent has been pitched, and here every night addresses will be given by the most prominent men of the State.

In the BERLIN, July 1.—The canal question overshadowed everything this week and the final outcome is more doubtful than ever. The air is full of rumors of com- | promises, combinatiens, dissolution and reconstruction of the Ministry. The op- ipunentq of the bill continue the policy | of seeking to kill it by bringing forward as many rival projects for compensa- tion as possible, these now numbering about 150. None of them has been made in good faith, but for the sole purpose of gaining time to eventually checkmate the supporters of the canal. Yesterday an amendment was voted inserting 2,000,000 marks for preliminary ‘\\urk on the Oder. This secures the support of the Silesian Centrists and clearly improves the chances of the The solution does not impress the Conservatives, who do not believe the Ministers will have the cour- age-to appeal to the ccuntry, although I Miquel, the vice president of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Finance, informed a member of the committee that the failure of the bill would certainly be followed by a disso- lution. This threat has been overlooked as If it had not been r le. The Liberals and Centrists also doubt that the Ministry will go to the length of a dissolution, it will involve a radical change in Prussian politics. The question of Dr. Miquel's retire- ment from the Ministry has again come meanwhile the correspondent of the Associated Press learns from an ex- cellent source that attempts will be made by the Centrists and Liberals to reach a compfomise on the canal and reformation of municipal election questions, £0 they may present a unit- ed front. The informer of the correspondent, a person who is in close touch with the Centrists, believes a compromise will be effected, and also hop: the Left and some of the Conservatives, who are officials, will vote for the canal bill or absent themselves in sufficlent numbers to insure the passage of the measure. ‘Whatever the result of the present crisis, it is certain it marks a turning | point in Prussian politics. The Agra- rians have shown such stubbornness in opposition to the progressiveclasses that the conflict must continue until one or the other permanently gains the supremacy. Even the moderate Liberals are more than ever before incensed at the Agrarian reactionary tendencies. It seems as if the conflict could not end without leaving a per- manent mark on Prussian political history. MARCONI NOW HAS MANY IMITATORS Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald.

This may not mean that the Emperor is determined to dis- miss Dr. Miquel, but it is recognized that if the bill fails further attempts to pass it with the present Ministry will be in vain.
