The elevated railroad in New York has
proved to he an intoleIable nuisance to the
streets over which it passes on account of the
noise. The trains pass every two or three
minutes and keep up such racket that ortlin.
AIRY business conversation IN the shops and
offices on the streets is out of the question.
Property owners are threatening suits for dam
ages in such amounts as would wholly swamp
the company. The directors have employed
Edison to invent some method Of running the
cars so as to avoid the noise. otherwise the
great rapid transit scheme, over which Goth
am has plumed itself so much, must prove a
total failure.

Secretary Sherman, it is understood, is quite
anxious to resume specie payment before the
first of next January-indeed he thinks it can
be done by the first of September. He has
some S200,0O0,0O0 of specie in the treasury
now, and the amount will not be greatly in
creased by the LIST of January, though he has
some $5O00O,000 of per cent bonds at his
disposal which he can convert into gold any
time he needslt If resumption is accomplish
ed before congress meets of course there will
be no further danger Of the repeal of the re-
SUMPTION act besides that it will place the
greenbackers in position where, though doubt
less they will continue as noisy as ever, their
noise can no longer do any harm. Resump-
ton will make greenbscks at once receivable
for customs thus doing away with much of the
present need for gold, so that he has no appre-
hcnsion of much OF rush on the treasury for
coin in case of resumption. He was IN New
York on Tuesday and Wednesday, talking the
matter over over with the Wall street kings.

The Eastern Question,

The Congress at Berlin, during the discus
sons last week in reference to the cession by
| Turkey of Batoum. Kars and Arabian to Rus.
| STA had an eye-opener on Saturday in the an
nouncement of the fact that as much rs three
weeks ago treaty had been concluded be
tween Turkey and England, by which England
agrees to protect Turkey, after her surrender
of Batoum, Kars and Arabian, against any
further Russian aggression, in consideration
of which Turkey ccdes to England the island
of Cyprus. OF course this AngoTurkish
treaty was an affair wholly outside and indie.
pendent of the Berlin congress, but could not
fail to have an important bearing on It's dellb,

speedy settlement in regard to the proposed
transfer of Batoum, Arabian and kars to Rus

is to be Il free port to the commerce of Europe,
and Russia is to dismantle its Notifications
and station no war ships in its harbor. OF
course this acquisition Of more Armenian ter
ritory by Russia, taken in connection with this
Anglo Turkish treaty, makes England and
Russia the two great Asatic powers, with
England saying to Russia, You have got one
more slice of Asia, but you can go no further
without meeting British guns" Meantime

by step within Russian grasp, finds a protect

retrocession of Bessarabia to Russia and CIV

lshment of the free navigation of the Danube,
and the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovi-
ma by Austria, seem all satisfactorily disposed
of, so that the congress is about through with

alone are furious, the congress having only re
