Western Maryland Railroad.

/ The ordinance authorizing the issue
of one million Of city stock to the
Western Maryland Railroad Company
for the purpose of completing the road
from Baltimore to Williamsport, hay
ing been made the order of the day in
the Second Branch Of the City Coun-
Gil, Thursday afternoon, was taken uI
and passed without discussion, all
the members voting in the affirmative,
Mr.. Mills being absent. The bill was
amended SO that the certificates OF
stock shall be made redeemable Jan
uarv lst, 1902, instead of the year
1900. The ordinance was then sent
to the First Branch and made the spe
cial order of the day by that body on
Monday afternoon, at )! clock.
This ordinance, though it author
lies the issuing Of a million dollars
city stock, requires the funding of five
hundred and twenty five thousand
dollars of the company bonds, which
:ealIy gives four hundred and seventy
five Thousand dollars towards com
plotting the work considered by those
best informed amply sufficient, not
only to finish the road, but stock it
handsomely. There are, We learn,
some two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars Of the one million four hun
drel thousand dollars previously en-
dorsed bonds still uneXpended. This,
with present subscription, controlled
as the road is likely to be by the new
ly elected president, Mr.. McLane,
and the new Board of Directors, in
whom there is full confidence, will, We
feel assured, meet every requirement.
1t is almost certain that the ordln-
ance will pass the First Branch on
Monday next, be speedily affirmed by
our Legislature and ratified by the
people when called upon to vote in its
favor.

entangling alliances or making unnecessary

Gkely TO create considerable difficulty. Our
special despatch received this morning states
that Governor Baldwin has applied to General
Sheridan for troops to protect the mining prop
erty, which it is thought the dissatisfied men
will attempt to destroy, and also to prevent any
further outrages in that region. Sheridan was
unable to send any men, but General Cooke
has ordered two companies of infantry to the
scene of the riots; but as the distance is so
great and there being no means of speedy
transit, they are not expected to arrive until
Tuesday morning, by which time all the
damage may have been done.

The Washington Treaty Dead-Arc We
to Have Another Trcatys

It seems to be conceded now in official cir
Giles at the capital that the Washington Treaty
will be killed. Our correspondent informs us
that the answer received from the British gov
eminent, in reply to Secretary Fish's recent
dispatches on the Alabama claims difficulty, is
sufficiently explicit to show that the treaty has
failed and that all hope Of settlement is past
British government that the principle con-
tended for by the United States might be
established in supplemental treaty, has been
rejected. The President having made it an
ultimatum that the question concerning con-
sequcntial damages must be disposed Of by the
Geneva tribunal, and Earl Granville having
answered that it is impossible for his govern
ment to consent to arbitration under these cir
cumstances, there seems to be no hope left of
saving the treaty. The entire correspondence
on this subject is to be sent to Congress. We
suppose the British Parliament will be RECALLED
in the same way. The whole matter will be
fully discussed, no doubt, on both sides of the
Atlantic.
But the President seems to intimate that
fresh negotiations for another treaty Of settle
ment are possible. This is implied in our
Washington despatch, which says:--"If the
question is again reached through negotiation
the President will insist that the duty of neu-
trails shall be defined, and that it shall be ex-
pressly agreed that neutral nations shall appre-
bend all vessels escaping from their ports to
assist belligerents in time of war. This, it is
believed, would either prevent the escape or
secure the capture Of semi-pirates like the
Alabama" Well, rs we have tried to make
two treaties, one of which-the Johnson
Clarendon Treaty-was killed by the
United States Senate, and the other
the Washington Treaty-has received
its deathblow from England, there is no
reason why another effort should not be
made. But we hope the President will not at
tempt to make any such new rules for
neutrals as is intimated for the
purpose of covering up the past
or overcoming the present difficulty. Let the

AMENITIES OF THE CAMPAIGN IN Con-
enEss.-Senator Kellogg, of Louisiana, is
winning himself the reputation of a
swaggerer. In the course of the de-
bate on the Louisiana measures in the
United States Senate last Friday he took oc-
casion to say that the liberal republicans who
attended the Cincinnati Convention from his
own State were 'thieves and rascals," and
that the tag, rag and bobtail' from other
States were no better. The scurrilous person
alities Of the partisan press are disgraceful
enough, but what opinion must foreigners
form Of us when they find such pot-house
abuse uttered on the floor of the United States
senate This Kellogg ought to be packed up
IN ms own carpet bag and sent back to
Louisiana.

The REVOLUTION N MEXICO is decidedly

special despatch from Matamoros. Dire
disaster has lately overtaken the rebels oil over
the republic, and if the troops of Juarez con-
tinuc in their present career Of success the
revolution, which already appears to be on it's
last legs, will soon lose even those temporary
means of support and find itself COM
pletely foored. Another revolution on the
first favorable opportunity, with new war
cry and no definite object except that of plum
der, will probably be the next thing on the
Mexican programme.

The Church Question In Prussia.

The war still continues in Prussia between
Public instruction and Bishop CremenK are
still at dagger's point over the excommunica-
ton pronounced by the latter against Professors
Wollmann and Michelis. Neither Bishop nor
Minister feel inclined to recede from the
positions they have assumed in the matter.
The success of the one would be triumph for
the ultramontanes-an achievement which the
Minister is DESTROYS of preventing, and to
destroy which he will allow no stone to remain
unturned. That he has the power Of the State
behind him and the well-known sympathy and
support Of Bismarck is evident, and with such
support there is little doubt that he will prove
successful but whether Bishop Crementz will
recede from his position or not is question
which the future can only reveal. Should
the Bishop maintain his stand in defiance
Of the government it is more than probable
that the Minister will, in retaliation, with
draw the State allowance to the prelate,
which amounts annually TO the sum OF
twelve thousand thalers. Where principle
is involved it is more than probable that the
monetary consideration will be permitted to go
by the board rather than the position assumed
would be disclaimed. If prehtes can only ex-
ercise the jurisdiction appertaining TO their
Office over those holding subordinate positions
at the expense of the pecuniary assistance they
derive from the State, it would be better for
them and for the independence Of the Church
that the connection was at once severed. This
ia one of the many evils resulting from such an
alliances and when the Church is entirely free
from the entanglements likely at all times to
spring from a connection with the State, and
when religion is entirely free, as it is in the
United States, its ministers will be at liberty
to act according to the rules established for
their guidance and government.
