LEAvENwoRTH, June 13.-The traffic con-
tract between the Union Pacific, Kansas Pa
ci6c, and Colorado Central railroad compa-
MES, and the Omaha bridge company, was
filed in the United States circuit court to-day
and approved by Judge Dillon. The con-
tract states that the Union Pacific shall re-
ceive 72 858 per cent. of the gross earnings;
the Omaha bridge company 2.776 per cent,
the Colorado Central company o. 673 per
cent, and the Kansas Pacific 1858 per cent,
and that if the contributions OF either of the
parties for any month shall be in excess of
its gross earning on the basis of the agree
ment, there shall be retained fifty per cent.
of such excess, allowed such road as
compensation for the cost of conducting the
transportation of freight by it, but no allow
ance is to be made for the transportation of
passengers. At the end of the year general
adjustment is to be made, each party to select
an expert for that purpose, and if they fail to
agree, they shall select another, the decision
of majority to rule. An account OF the
gross receipts of each company shall be sent
to the joint treasury at Boston. The agree
ment is to continue in force fifty years, and
is signed by Sydney Dillon, president of the
Union Pacific; Robert E. Carr, president of
the Kansas Pacific, and the reet ivers of the

Old World Wrangles.

The recurrence of the Orange niversary
this week threatens to bring with it the
usual scenes Of disorder and perhaps blood
shed on the other side of our northern
boundary. At the present time all the
signs point to a row ii not riot in Mon
treal unless the Orangemen decide to
forego their parade or the authorities are
strong enough to carry out their determine
ton to forcibly prevent it. 1t is incompre-
hensible why these demonstrations occur
on this side of the Atlantic. The events
they seek to perpetuate have no possible
interest for the people of this continent,
and it would be just as sensible to recall
the War Of the Roses as the Battle of the
Boyne If religious freedom were in
any way restricted there might be
some excuse for celebrating an event
like that of the Boyne, but it is not.
Every man is at liberty to worship when,
where and how he pleases. If he sees fit he
need not, in fact, worship at all. King
William and King Charles are nothing to
us. The ideas and principles they repre-
sented are entirely foreign to tho spirit Of
our government and civilization, and it is
to be deplored that their adherents have
imported with them signs and shibboleths
which in this section of the world and at
this hour in the century are as absurd as
they could we'll be. We hope the authorities
in Montreal will sternly put down
the Orangemen. And when the rival ami
versary comes around we trust they will as
effectually suppress its observance. It
seems to US the bishops and clergymen on
both sides ought to unite with the civil au-
thorities in preventing these foolish demon
strations, which are calculated to provoke
disorder and violence. The effect of them
is to bring religion into disrepute. They
are scandal, a disgrace and IN outrage.

Do Not the Henley and Putney
Courses Encourage JOckeyings

Courses Encourage JOckeyfngs
For half century England has been row.
ing her most celebrated races-those which
have given her such prestige at the oar
mainly on two courses, the Henley and the
Putney to Mortlake. The races of last week
have made the shape of the former familiar,
while the Putney course, as all know, is
spectfully ask the oarsmen of England and
her people generally, is either of these
courses fair? Is it fair at Henley for the in
side boat to have fifty feet less to row than
the one in the centre, and more than fifty
feet less than the one on the Blu ks station?
Especially, we would ask, is it fair in short
distance like that. where one foot may win
the racer Again, is it fair to row on a course
where one crew can creep along, as London
did on Friday, close to the bank and out of
the current, while the other must row right
against that current over the whole dis
tance2 What could tend more to encourage
washing and fouling than having to row
round q curve rs at Henley or over four
miles and three furlongs, with several de-
cided curves, as on the Putney course? We
have no charge to make that the palpable
unfairness of rowing on such tracks is in
territorial. But does the lack of wrong intent
alter the fact? England has begun
to find that America can actually
give her points in rowing matters,
and points worth needing. Only within
Ave or six years has she learned to row
without coxswain, while America learned
it nineteen years ago. Now, when she has
found that our student oarsmen can row
quite as well as those OF her own illustrious
universities, may 1t not be well to take an
other lesson from those students? Instead
of SO arranging her races that, even with
only three bouts abreast, she cannot keep
from fouling a stranger twice in two days,
she might learn how TO avoid all chance Of
FOULS. In q very brief interview Captain
Goodwin could tell her that in America he
had seen not three but thirteen college
crews row breast race for three whole miles
without an approach to a foul, and the
whole making u much finer water spectacle
than any rowing race England ever saw.
In short, had England cut her Henley
course into three equal parallel strips and
put a row of small flags along each side of
the central lane, and then forced each crew
to stay in it's own lane, would there have
been any marrying of Columbia for the
greater part Of the wav by Dublin and then

The Hunting or the Noise.

The scientists, Edison and others, are now
engaged on the very interesting task Of dis
covering. if possible, where the Metropoli-
tan Elevated Railroad noises dwell and the
best manner of capturing and suppressing
these troublesome sounds. In a structure
almost entirely composed of iron vibrations
are set up by slight shocks and transmitted
directly to every part of the framework and
thence to the ground and to the neighboring
which is necessarily governed by the vio-
lence of the originating disturbance. In
theory the whole structure is supposed
to be tied and supported in the
most perfect manner; but in practice
this is simply impossible. because the
bearings will give rise to a series Of CON-
pound movem snts Of the parts which are
independent of the vibrations in the mate
rial and contribute their quota OF shocks to
the production of the general noise. 1t does
not follow that these little noisy imperfec-
tions are in the least degree dangerous to
the stability of the road. They are simply
the defects of workmanship insepara-
BILE from oil structures less delicate
than a watch or piece of machinery of the
finest class. Now we know that the ele-
waited railroad noises are due to several dis
tinct causes. They originally proceed from
the shocks and vibrations to which the iron
structure is subjected by the move-
ment of trains, but they are increased
by echoes from the houses. First, we
hear the rattle due to slightly defective
joints and bearings; second, the vibration
of the monster musical CO instrument
represented by the iron structure third,
the echoes of both Of these sounds. The
remedies lie in the adjustment of the joints
and bearings by which oil jar or rattle will
be prevented and the insulation Of the track
from the iron structure that vibratos, and
the further insulation of such portions Of
that structure from each other as will pre-
vent the transmission Of vibrations from
part to part. A certain amount OF noise is
set up in tho railroad Nar itself by the reso-
nance of it's materials formed into kind
OF sounding boz; bun the sound is not heard
outside the car and can be dsagreeablc only
to the passengers.
