Forming the CentraI pool.

New York. May The railroads rep
resented at the meeting in Commissioner
Finks office to-day were the New York
Central, Baltimore & Ohio, the Erie, the
Pennsylvania, the Lake Shore, the Boston
d Albany and the Grand Trunk. 1t is un-
derstood that the discussion at times was
acrimonious, and bore not only upon the
question of the formation of the Central
Traffic organization, but as well upon the
question OF differential rates which
has all along been pending between
the Boston & Albany and Grand Trunk
roads After the discussion of the situation, a
resolution recommending the restoration of
both freight and passenger rates on j June 1,
or as soon thereafter as possible, was
adopted. 1t is expected that the pooling
arrangement which went to pieces on May
1 will be re-established. Tomorrow there
will be meeting of the executive commit
tee of the trunk lines for the further consid-
Grafton of the questions of rates and diver
sions of freight.

Canadian Pacific.

The Hon. Donald A. Smith, one of the
principal stockholders of the Canadian Pa
cific road, left last evening for the East in
a special car attached to the Milwaukee &
ST. Paul train. In regard to the Canadian
line, Mr.. Smith was quite enthusiastic, say
ing that the country along the line was be-
ing rapidly settled and in another year the
local business of the road will nearly sup
port it, while the through business will be
clear profit. AS soon as the Eastern and
Western sections are connected across
the Rocky mountrins, line of
steamers will commence running between
Coal Harbor, Port Moody and Victoria, and
China and Japan. From Liverpoolto to Japan,
via the Canadian line, the distance is 1000
miles less than by way of San Francisco,
the former route being 10,997 miles and the
latter II, ,999 miles. Efforts will be made
to influence stock raising on the plains near
the Rocky mountains, where the country
for pasturage is unsurpassed. The mines
of British Columbia are being developed
and will be notable factor in the traffic and
finances of the company.

ALFRED AWKWARD.
His Connection with the Riel Re-
beIliOm.

LONDON, May 26.-The Press associa-
ton publishes the following, which it
says was obtained from reliable source:
"Early in January Alfred Aylward, noto-
rious in connection with the Boer rebellion,
arrived in London from New York He was
extremely reticent in regard to the objects
of his visit, but on one occasion he told
friends at social gathering at his lodgings
in Picadilly that before long he would again
prove sharp thorn in the side of the Brit
ish government. He went to Paris
and remained there fortnight, staying at
the American hotel in the Rue Denouer, and
describing himself as surgeon dentist.
He carefully avoided English and Irish
haunts, ignoring the Fenian leaders. Our

the furthering of the move

of Canada for separation from Great Bri-
tain and that France encourages the idea
by organized emigration intrigue far more
than the English or loyal Canadians real
ize. The Riel affair was simply an expert
ment desig ned to accustom French Cana
dians to feel and think as a
distinct race. About the middle of
March Aylward sailed for New York via
Havre giving his address to London friends
as Jackson street, st. Paul, Minn. After
his arrival at st. Paul many officers of the
Irish Republican Brotherhood went west
ward, including Capt. Thomas S.
Mullen, who in the years 1865 and
1866, was regarded as captain
McCaferty's right hand man, and Sergeant
Crosby, formerly of the Seventeenth United
States infantry. They traversed Dakota at
the head of thirty-six armed men, with
three-1nile teams and thirty days rations.
Mullen made no secret of his destination or
intention. Aylward's directing hand is
plainly seen in the fighting at Batoche.
Aylward went to Africa in 1878 because his
life was endangered by unjust suspicious of
the assassination committee of the Irish re-
publican brotherhood. In October, 1883,
Aylward voluntarily presented himself be-
fore committee of Rossa's immediate sup
porters and justified himself against the
charges of unfaithfulnest.

Took the Train.

DETROIT, Mich. May 26.-Last night at
10 o'clock at Fort Gratiot, the south-bound
Grand Trunk freight train was boarded by
five armed men who kept possession Of the
train until "a short distance this
side of Frazer, when they left, fearing the
train men would receive reinforcements.
At Mount Clement two deputy sheritfs
boarded the train, but were quickly over
powered and disarmed. At Frazer the con-
ductor managed to leave the
train and telegraphed to De-
troit for help. Early this morning
an engine and caboose with a posse of
officers started out and met the captured
train at the Detroit and Milwaukee juno
ton. No trace of the men has been dis
covered. The tramps told the train men
that they wanted to get to Detroit in time
to catch the circus.

WINNIPEG, May 26.-Rev. Mr.. Pitblado
of this city was oDboard the steamer North
cote when Riel was being conveyed to Sas-
katoon. He had some conversation with
the rebel leader, and the following is ex-
tracted from the report of this trip which
he has given in private letters: ''Mr. Pit
blado describes Riel as a cunning, intelli-
gent man. Riel said he did not know
what the authorities would do with him.
He was forced to fight, he said, by the
mounted police and Hudson Bay officers.
They tyrannized over the half breeds and
abused their power. They would take
everything from us except the nose. he
said.
The following relates to the fight at Ba-
toche:
SIS this not bad job for you?"
''Yes, very bad, but good Providence has
prevented it from being worse. Had the
Indians we expected joined us we would
have been much stronger and abler to resist.
'sHow many men had you in the fght?"
''About five hundred. expected an at
tack on the north side of the river, and left
$50 men to resist the
ATTACK ON THAT SIDE"
This weakened us on the other side.
Where were you during the fght?"

Eight and two wounded, fear, fatally
One was wounded in the breast and the
other in the abdomen"
''Were the priests friendly to you?"

sisted on us being submissive to them.
They were against us trying to redress our
own grievances. Ever since -the doctrine of

New YORK, May 26.--Drs. Edison, Tay-

to the board of health to-day, concerning
their inquiry into the cause of the
scourge at Plymouth, Penn. They
were of the opinion that the disease
had come down the ravine with the noun
tain water, and the whole trouble could be
traced to one mans door, and the neglect of
that man of the most ordinary sanitary pre-
cautions. The Davis farmhouse and its
occupants, where typhoid fever originated

tors for the epidemic"

Cabinet Meeting.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by all the
members except Secretary Manning. who is
in New York on private business. The
session was devoted to the consideration Of
a proposition looking to a continuance Of
the Worlds Cotton exposition at New Or
leans beyond the 31st and allowing
the government exhibits to remain
in case a continuance is decided
upon. A general desire was ex-
pressed to aid the exposition to the full ex-
tent of the law as embodied in the act OF
incorporation and the various measures in
support of the exposition, but it is said that
a majority of the members OF the cabinet
were of the opinion that the president had
no legal power to authorize an extension OF
the original period fixed for the exposition.
The decision was accordingly adverse to
a continuance

First Lady of the Land.

Special to the Globe. :
WASHINGTON. May 26.-There has been
considerable agitation in society circles over
the question of who is the first lady
of the land There can be no ques-
ton on that point. The lady
chosen by the president to have
charge of the social regime of his
domestic household becomes the hostess of
the executive mansion and as such she be-
comes the first lady of the land. This is
the first law of social etiquette in private
establishment, and it must he so in the so
cial surroundings of the president. It would
be absurd to think of the president
sending out to have another lady
to his levees. In the absence of wife or
his sister any near lady relative would be
an eminently proper person for him to be-
stow that honor upon. AS longas Miss
Cleveland remains the hostess of the presi-
dents house she must be the presiding lady
there, and as such the first lady
in the land on purely official or ceremonial
occasions at the executive mansion. The
nature or the object of the occasion would
determine the lady whom the president
should escort.

Triumnnant Comn,unists.

PARIS May 26.-The triumphant atti-
tude assumed by the revolutionists since
the withdrawal of the military and police
opposition to the communist demonstra-
ton on Monday has provoked such bit
ter feeling among the law-and-
order classes that the affair
it is believed, will now lead to an import
ant debate in the chamber of deputies.
Many suppose that one result of the debate
will be an attempt to overthrow the present
ministry. The Journal des Debates
blames the government Tor al
lowing the communists to parade with
red flags yesterday and urges the
enactment of law against the use of all
emblems of seditien. The French press
generally condemn the indecision of the
government in its conduct. during the past
few days towards the communists. The
revolutionists' organs are jubilant over what
they term the triumph of the communists
over the authorities.

He thought a minimum rate should
be fixed by law. The fluctuating rates I'M
settled business greatly. Stability OF rates
is more important than the rate itself. Mr.
Lincoln believed that favoritism was shown
by the railroads in giving knowledge OF
changes in rates to certain shippers. He
thought general law requiring at least ten
days notice of change of rates would be
equitable. He believed in national board
OF railroad commissioners. Mr.. Lincoln
protested against double tariff system OF
railroads. He believed in basing the tariff
upon mileage. The pool of the country
Mr.. Lincoln regarded as farce. In any
legislation upon the subject of rates, he
believed carload should be the unit and
that no reduction should be made
in rates for large quantities. E. G. Kimble,
commission man. complained that New
England shippers had to pay an extra 33%
per cent. on shipments to Chicago for an
additional distance Of only about sixty miles
in 1000. Ex-Governor Claflin favored a
national commission to regulate railroad
rates.

sion stopped and considerable sum which
he had not drawn returned to the treasury,

WASHINGTON, May 26. DIR. Loring, the
late commission of agriculture, is rapidly
suffering in public esteem from his refusal
to answer the charges made against the adj
ministraton of this office. 1t has been
claimed repeatedly of late that the ap-
preparation is exhausted with nothing to
show for the expenditure on large
quantities of comparatively useless seeds,
which were paid for at prices five and SIX
times in excess of the market rates. DR..
Loring spent months last year stumping the
country for Blaine, and it is said the funds
of the department were lavishly used to
help the Blaine campaign. 1t is very prob
able that the whole matter will be made the
subject of congressional investigation next

two weeks ended April there were 1873
deaths from cholera in Calcutta.
The president to-day issued an ex-
ecutive order closing all the gov

said that the postmasters at jamestown, N.
Y, and Vincennes, Ind, were suspended
upon proofs of active and extreme partisan
ship in the business of elections. The post
master at MarengO, Ia, was suspended be-
cause he had moved out Of the state and
