TEE FAST TRAIN.

The Pittsbursg, Ft. Wayne & Chicago Railroad
has completed its arrangements to commence
the running Of fast passenger train between
here and New York this evening. The fast
train leaves but thirty minutes ahead OF regular
time-at 4:45 instead of at Sis. It
will, however, have to run much faster
than the ordinary train in order to
reach New York at 10 o'clock p. m. the time
when the Wabash train arrives there. None OF
the Western roads except the Chicago, Burling
ton s, Quincy and the Chicago q Alton will
change Their regular time. All the Western
trains, however, will be able to connect with the
fast train OF the Pittsburg d ForE Wayne.
Nothing has yet been heard from the man
aggers' meeting at Cleveland, and, from what
can be learned, they adjourned without taking
any definite action. The other roads leading
from this city to the East will adhere to the
present timetable for Willie. But how long
they will do this depends entire>y on the effest
the action OF the Pittsburg Il Fort Wayne will

4 QUESTION or TITLES.


Europe has now three Emperors, lin 1870 had
four,-not taking into account the Queen OF En'
gland, whose title OF Empress Of India properly
belongs to Asia. A quarter OF century ago Lonls
Napoleon aud SIX years ago king William assumed
tho imperial title without going through the pre-
imuary, formalIty OF demanding Its recognition by
foreign courts. We presume that the feeling OF
monarchs on this score is on the principle euun-
ciated by Mr. Squcere that q man had right to
call his house an island it he wished to do so; 1t
was nobody's business but bis own. century
and half ago. however, when there was only one
Emperor universally recognized in Europe, the
case was very different, and it was not Till after
Diplomatic correspondence extending over period
OF several years that Peter the Greats claim to
the Etylc Of Emperor was generally accorded The
claim was intended by him to lead the way to his
assumption Of the style and rights Of Emperor OF
the East. The title had been given to one Of his
predecessors, however. in MaKimillan !. S dispatch
