Sir Henry TvIer,s views.

Sir Henry Tyler, president of the Grand
Trunk, and party, were in Chicago Satur-
day. Being interviewed, Sir Henry said
the principal object of his visit to this
country is to inspect the Grand Trunk sys-
TEN, which now comprises between 1000
and 5000 miles of road, and also see what
can be done toward stopping the mad and
senseless war between the Eastern roads.
Not only are the railroads of this country
suffering severely from the rate war, but
they are also suffering from the want OF
business. ''There are other reasons" he
said, ''besideS the reckless competition
for the existing decentralization In rates.
The paralleling of roads where none were
needed has much to do with it. There is
West Shore trying to divide the business
with the New York Central, and the Van
derbilt interest is constructing the South
Pennsylvania, which is virtually another
West Shore against the Pennsylvania. I
think it is the desire of the trunk line pres
idents to harmonic their differences and
secure restoration of rates. But there are
circumstances that prevent them from re-
establishing peaceful relations. The Grand
Trunk is entirely for peace and harmony.
have always been inclined to take a little
less than we were entitled to in order to
have peace.
Regarding the reports about the intention
of the Grand Trunk to secure control of
the West Shore, Sir Henry said nothing
definite had been done in the matter. He
admitted that negotiations had been and
are still going on, and that the Grand Trunk
would like to secure the West Shore if it
could be purchased at a fair price. He
thought that if the Grand Trunk could
secure control of the road it would greatly
help in bringing an end to the present COM
plications between the Eastern roads.

Interlocking switch system.

A large number of the most prominent
railroad officials in ST. Paul and Mime
apolis gathered at the railway crossing on
Fourth street yesterday morning at 10
o'clock to witness the first test of the inter-
locking switch system, which is introduced
into the Northwest by the Manitoba Rail-
way company. Much has been stated about
this system of switch moving, and of course
a great deal of interest was taken in the re-
suit of the test. But it is scarcely neaes.
sary to state that it gave satisfaction
for wherever it has been put in use, not
word has been said i'll favoring it. Tho
patent was first brought before the public
in England, where all railways are subjec,
to inspection by the board of trade, which
appoints commissioners to look after theme
These commissioners were so pleased witt
the new arrangement for opening and lock-
ing switches, that no railway is permitted
to be without one at any of its termini juno
ton points, or any large station.
1t is so perfect concern that danger O.
collision is almost an impessibility. Eacl
switch is connected by rods to two leven
in the cabin, which move them. Eacl
switch has also a lock which is connectet
by rods to two other levers in the cabin
Each switch is fixed with a patent point tt
another lever in the cabin, so that aftet
the switch is moved for trains, il
must be locked before the
next switch is moved. After all the
switches are set for a certain movement Of
trains clear signals can be given which lock
and hold all switches for that movement
until the train is over the last switch. The
clearing of that signal locks every other sig
nal to danger, and locks every switch so
that it can not be moved to allow other
trains to cross over before all signals are
turned from danger to their normal condi
ton by all the levers being placed forward.
Since the Inauguration into America of
this interlocking switch system, over five
hundred have been adopted by the principal
Eastern roads and nearly all of the lines
terminating at Chicago.

CAMAs, Idaho, June 21.-Four Indians
were killed yesterday at Rossfork agency,
Idaho. The trouble was occasioned by a
couple of Bannocks, who had been depre-
dating on the. agency stock. Learning they
were about to be arrested for their thefts
they drew the Indian police from the
agency this forenoon and opening fire upon
them they killed two and wounded third,
the others escaping. Later in the day
about two hundred police surrounded the
thieves near the agency and riddled them
with bullets. Returning to the agency the
police appeared crazed with excitement for
time. A general outbreak seemed immi-
nent, as all the Indians killed had relatives
and friends at the agency. The agent
finally succeeded in reducing them to quiet.

Gras.hopper Ravages.

WASHINGTON. June 21.-California Is
suffering considerably from the ravages Of
the grasshoppers, and specimens of the in
sects have been sent from several parts Of
the state to Prof. Riley. He finds them to
be the melanoplus devastator and the calop-
tenus differentialis. The last named is
common to all parts of the land, and seldom
proves very destructive, while the other is
peculiar to the Pacific slope and is probably
doing the present work of destruction. He
recommends the use of coal oil pans, found
so useful against the Eastern species, and
further refers the California farmers to the
remedies described in the reports OF the en-
tomological commission, as the best yet dis
covered.

Replacing With Heavier Rails.

The Chicago & Northwestern railway is
relaying it's track between Milwaukee and
Chicago with steel rails weighing sixty-fve
pounds to the yard. The traffic on this
road has increased so rapidly that the COM
pany deemed heavier rail necessity.
Some of the steel rails being removed were
made by the North Chicago Rolling Mill
company in 1871 and 1872, and were laid
in those years. A close examination
showed that they were in excellent
condition, worn slightly but very even
ly on their face, the ends were not battered
at all. They were of ffty-six pounds
weight to the yard, and are to be laid on
another track, where it is estimated they
will last from six to seven years longer, the
evidence being plain that the metal is of an
exceptionally good quality.

oppose the Change in Their Circuit.

Montgomery county is much opposed to hay

second judicial circuit The present Legislature
changed the circuit by cutting off Parke county
and making it separate circuit, and attaching
Hendricks to Montgomery. A bar meeting was
held at Charlottesville yesterday, Judge A D.

the following resolution was adopted and wired
to General Manson:
We the members of the Charlottesville bar, are
bitterly opposed to attaching any county to the
Twenty-second judicial circuit. Our business is a
year behind, the court is crowded beyond measure.
Having just been made separate circuit by the pres.
emit Legislature, denounce as an outrage upon us
and our ltigants any attempt to change circuit
and as we are but now informed of the proposed
change we demand to be heard before we are
oppressed. We have just held unanimous meeting,
and the feeling is intense against the change. Our
committee comes over by first train.
Last evening the commute referred TO came

Office said Democratic pilgrim fresh from

gresham, at the last moment, had very decid-

SON to Senator Voorhees, and pleaded with him
to use his influence in his cause, be-
cause said he, If l fail to secure
this appointment after the position I
have taken it would be a source Of
great humiliation to me- He promised further
that if ne was given that one appointment
he would ask nothing else, but would be content

VOORHEES, finally took pity upon him and went to
the President 1t lad been understood that the
Senator, while not taking an active part In the
fight, was really favorably disposed toward Mr..
President was somewhat surprised at his inter

reluctantly forced into this fight said Senator
Voorhees, to the President. but expect that IN
view of the promise Mr. Hendricks makes to ask
for nothing else, we had best take him at his
word and appoint his man.. In this view of the
