State Department official. say that notwith-
standing contrary reports nothing whatever
has been done from Washington TO secure the
arrest OF Sheridan or any Of the alleged Irish
conspirators aud that 80 far as the State De-
partnent is concerned the United States is in
statu quo. Bua whether or not the report Is
true that o warrant bgs been issued for the az
rest OF Z j. Sheridan, 1t is perhaps not gener-
ally known tina the arrest may te accomplish
cd without any mandate from the State De-
partment. The mandate Is mere formality
and is Of no practical value. The British Min
lister does not need IL as preliminary TO any
effort at extraditi0n. Any counsel may pro.
ceed II he thinks he has sufficient evidence 10
warrant an arrest. The Brush Government
is not r. quired 10 furnish its evidence to the
State Depar ment, and secure mandate be-
fore preceding 10 arrest. The Brush Mii-
lister does not need to make any exhibit on Of
his evidence until be submits II before con-
mitting magistrate, who is TO decide whether 1t
is sufficient 10 make cut probable Case. So
far as the law goes IL Is not essential that the
State Department shall have any knowledge
of an att mpt at extrdO1tion until certified cop
les Of the evidence shall be submit ted TO II by

Knox and Lincoln Railroad.
A large amount OF work has been laid out
along the route of the Knox and Lincoln Bail
road for this season. About 800 tons Of steel
rails will be laid, change made In the loca-
tion OF the road at Thomaston, so as TO do away
with an expensive trestle work, and an extern
sion OF the road probably made at Rockland so
that passengers and baggage may be delivered
at tho wharf OF the Mt. Desert and Bangor
steamers. The freight business Of the road Is
yearly increasing. A good instance Of this is
at Thomastoo, where last year. in addition to
the ordinary freight, 10 coo casks of lime were
shipped over the road, but SO far this season
about one-half Of this amount has already been
shipped. The projected improvements In the
road will make the journey to Bar Harbor and
M. Desert via RocklaDd more agreeable than
ever.
