SorS, positive In his testimony that there had been
nothing Illegal improper In the relations OF the

10 sustain such testimony. One of his attempted
explanations o. his own act 50 utterly incon-

admOnishe1 him, in the interest OF himself and Co
made an affidavit concerning the Tongue river
route, setting forth that In the event OF expedition
the number OF men and horses employed would
need to be increased about tweIve-fold. MIR.
Miners counsel wanted him to expl:in why he
e5timated so large an increase to be necessary
and the witness was proceeding to inform the Jury
That among other practice of the ring was the one

he Implied that the department was aware OF this

apparently excessive estimate he proposed to make
IL appear that the equipment for the route under
the original contract was entirely Inadequate to
the service. Judge Wyic said that that testimony
would show that the " department was In privity

Railway Election.

NEW YORK, July 16.-An adjourned meet
ing of the stockholders of the Vicksburg and
Meridian Railway company was held to-day,
when the following board of managers was
elected for the ensuing year George Arents,
Edward r. Bacon, d. Graf, Frederick Muller,
Otto Plock John Scott, and Alfred Stidell.
The managers subsequently elected Mr.. Plock
president, Mr.. Scott vice president and gem
eral manager, and Mr.. Graf, secretary and
treasurer, of the company. The annual re-
ports showed the road to'be in a fairly flour
ishing condition.
The report of the general manager showed
that the business of the road for the ye lr
ending March 81, 1888, was $i95, ,S51.43 and
the expenses $354527.42. The interest has
been paid on the first and second mortgage
bonds and the balance then remaining on
hand, together with the moneys raised by
assessment, has been spent in improving the

their right If they had limited their quar-
rel with the Hovas TO that point, they would
have had the sympathy probably of the Brit
ish as we'll rs of the French residents. This
quarrel Of tho land is after all, the question OF
the day in Madagascar, and IL true, as tele-
graphed here, that the British government has
consented to abrogate the clause in the treaty
allowing British subjects to acquire land,
without at the same time obtaining any ad-
vantage in return. mistake has been COM
mitted. Tho Hova government will be en-
couraged to persist in its exclusive policy, the
agitation and intrigucs of French subjects
will continue and the way will be paved for
| the eventful annoxtion of the country.
Sugar planting and crushing requires the
investment of large sums of money. which
capitalists will not supply unless there be a
certainty that the ground planted and built
upon shall be secured to them. The issue of
leases renewable at long terms might serve
as a compromise, but even these will not be
| allowed by the Hova government except
under pressure They will, as heretofore
place Instructions secretly in the way. Such
pressure France will exert, and it will be tC
the interest of the large numbers of creoles
who are now emigrating hither from Mauri-
thus to naturalize first at Bourbon as French
subjects, and in this way British trade and
British interests in Madagascar will suffer
| And after all il ought not TO be forgotten
that, outside the province of Imerina, Hova
rule extends over but limited portion OF
Madagascar. 1t is hard, for instance. on thu
east coast tribes that, although probably will
ing to let their lands to the foreigners and to
increase and develop outside commerce, they
should be forbidden to pursue that course by
a tribe in the interior to whom they do no
bear much love. And at many points alonl
the coast the authority of the Hovas is repre-
sented solely by the obstructive customs
offices which they have established and theil

Daniel webs,er,s Flnanoiering.


Daniel Websters financiering is the subject
of many anecdotes at Washington, and one
of them thus describes how he one day as
sisted his friend Rufus Choate. Choate
needed $500, and he applied to Mr. Webster.
Five hundred dollarsw said Webster. "No,
l haven't that amount, but l will get it for
you, Choate." The latter was glad to hear it,
and would wait Draw your note" said
Webster, 'Ill sign it and bring you the
money. While you are about it make
the note for q thousand; thousand
is as easy to get as FIVE hundred"
Mr.. Choate said that five hundred was all he
needed. "Ill take the other five hundred"
said Webster. The note was drawn, and Mr..
Webster, taking his cane, went into the ave-
nue.. Good morning, Mr.. Corcoran, good
morning" said he, as he entered the great
banking house which was the fiscal agent of
the government Good morning, Mr.. Secre-
tary," said the great banker, in the blandest
manner. What is it / can do for you this
morning, Mr.. Secretary?' Mr.. Webster was
secretary of state at that time. "A little
favor for my friend Choate. He wants lit
tie money, and told him / thought / could
get it for him. A thousand, believe, he
made his note for" passing the paper to the
banker.
There was no such thing as hesitating much
less declining, and SO the banker was only
happy to accommodate tho head of Mr.. Fill
more's administration. The gold was laid
out in two equal piles at Mr.. Webster's re-
quest. Putting one in each pocket, and with
one of the bows which Mr. Webster only could
give, he departed. Here Choate, here is the
five hundred said the great expounder en-
tering where Choate was waiting. Handing
him the gold, Mr.. Webster resumed his read
ing whore he had been interrupted by Choate's
entrance. 1t is further stated that Mr. Cor
coran has in his collection Of autographs a
note for $1,000 signed by Rufus Choate and
Endorsed by Daniel Webster.

A Judges Dlotum in n Railway Case.

NoRRIsTowN, PA. July 16.-Jugde Boyer
to-day delivered lengthy opinion in tho
matter of an injunction asked for by the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway company
to restrain the Pennsylvania-Schuyl
Valley Railway company from locating the
piers, columns, or abutments of tho iron
bridges by which the tracks of the defendant
company cross those of the plaintiff at Mana
yunk, on the plaintiffs property. The judges
decree is substantially favorable to defend
ants, but he suggests notifications of their
plans, and directs them to file a new plan and
draft in the prothonotary's Office and to Sc
cure the plaintiffs against damages by bond
before proceeding further.
