The transportation question.

NEW YORK, September 1l.-At a
meeting of the International transport
tation company to-day, Senator Win
dom presided. Several railway compa-
mes were represented. Senator Win
dom stated that the object Of the APP
pOintment Of the committee by congress
was to procure cheap transportation 10
the seaboard. Mr.. Hayes, representing
the Blue line, made statement relative
10 through fast-freight lines, and said
that the complaint was frequently made
that faeilitlea were not furnished by the
railroad companies for the shipment Of
grain. The greet trouble really Is at the
destination. When train arrives at
New York with large quantity of
grain, the eonsUner must provide barges
10 take it away, and this causes great
delay. The difficulty is not in moving
cars over lines, but in disehaFging
grain, The system OF inspection, if IN
trodneed here, would obVlate al this.
The vital point, according to Hayes, is
the necessity Of providing storage ca
pacity at the east, 80 that property can
be moved here, and delivered with IA
cility; then supply and demand would
equalize the movement of property.

The Selma Times says General n. B
Forest left for New York yesterday 10
endeevor to effect negotiations that viii
secure the early construction Of this
road from the end Of the track % the
town Of Eutaw. General Forrest has
labored for the Selma, Marion and
Memphis railroad with a perseverance,,
energy and zeal that Is remarkable, and
we may say unparalleled. He has en-
countefed obstacles that many would
have regarded as insurmountable. On
Yesterday the Selma, Marion and Mem
phis railroad company effected lease
Of the right-of-way over the Alabama
Central railroad, for their trains from
Marion JUNCTION to Selma. They can
now run their freight and passenger
trains through from the Greensboro end

OF delay. This viii enable the
Selma, Marion and Memphis company

SAN FRANCISCO, September China
and Japan news per MacIregof is not
very important. The japan Gazette
says the commercial agencies Of the
country were never known to be so stag
nant as now, which is attributed to the
fact that the merchants and people an
tieipate reversion of the international
treaties, and believe it to be the best pol
icy to await results. An European EN-
press is Iusticating at the hot springs at
Amianashta. Amendments to the Grim
inal law of Japan, by which many of
fences heretofore punishable with death
are TO be atOned for by imprisonment for
life, have been made. Merchants are
taking advantage of the recent treaty
with China, and are already sending
merchant-yessels to Yokohama under
the Chinese dag. On the twenty-second
of July the Spanish steamer Esmaralda
was wrecked six males from Manits.
Only a portion of the cargo was saved,
and the vessel is total wreck. The in
terror of Japan is quiet. A drouth in
several Of the provinces of China has Oc-
casiOned great suffering and threatens
a famine. The pestilence was worst in
Checkiang A curious and barbarous
custom was revived at Shanghai by the
threatened famine. When accounts
were received from Cbeekiang, several
men came before the authorities and
asked permission 10 pray to their god 10
avert the calamity, and if the prayer
was not answered within certain time
they would suffer themselves to be
burned alive as a peace-offering. The
application was rejected.

SARATOGA, September 1.-THE re-
gatta to-day was complete success, the
attendance large the weather was IA
vorable and the water was in a capital
condition. No pools were allowed dur
ing the day, the Young Mems Christian
association having prevented it in town,
and the rowing association having eff
fectually stopped it at the lake. No per-
sons express more satisfaction with this
than the various boat clubs themselves,
who say they don't wish to be placed on
the level with horses. Several of them
informed Conkling, president of the
rowing association, that if poOl-selling
was allowed they wouldn't dip AN oar.
Owing to delay in receiving the cut
riggings for the Tornate clubs,
q single seull-raee was rowed first.
Nine started, but the boat of the MutuaIs.
of Albany, was disabled, and conse-
quenty did not &C. BY courtesy, the
Union Springs rowing club took the
lead, and held it easily, turning the
stake-boat at the end of the first mile
about two hundred and fifty lengths
ahead, and coming in about an eighth
of mile ahead of all the competitors in
