One of the Weak Places in Railway Opera
lions.

Under the head American Scenery the FL
nancier says president Adams, of the Union
Pacific railroad, has set an excellent example to
ether railway managers in giving to the stock
holders report which has the unusual merit of
comprehensiveness and clearness. Everything
relating to the property is told and nothing left
hidden. The curse of railway manipulation in
the United States is the secresy with which
boards of directors conduct the business Of the
stockholders Important leases are made with
out the knowledge of the real owners of the
property, and all sorts of engagements entered
into without consulting any one outside of the
directorate. And when the crash comes-as it
often does in American railway corporations
there has to be made an exhibit which startles
the stockholders We believe that the public
discussion of railway affairs in this country
discussion which is participated in by the news
papers and public oficials-is healthful and
OrODer"

Looking Far Ahead.

The friends of Blaine in this city say
that the election of Logan cannot
advance his fortunes as the Republican
candidate in 1888; that Logan cannot
separate himself from the old ticket, and
that if he is candidate in national
campaign again it can only be as it was
last year. There is no doubt that the
Blaine leaders here believe the old ticket
can be renominated. They talk that sort
of thing openly. A number of the
Western leaders have been on here pay.
ing visits in the line of this policy. Mr..
Medill, editor of the Chicago Tribune,
who has been here for number of days,
and who dined recently with Mr.. Blaine,
believes in renomina!ing the old ticket.
Chas. Emory Smith, Editor of the Phil
adelphia Press, who was here two OF
three days ago, is an ardent advocate Of
the old ticket. Gen. Logan is q candi'
date for the first place this time and it is
very improbable that he will look with
favor upon the plan Of the Blaine people,
Among the Democrats the talk is all Of
Mr.. Cleveland. The friends of the Pres.
ident expect to see him renominated as q
matter OF course, and reelected without
any trouble. Although the Administra.
ton is in its first year the politicians are
very busy in talking about the future

End of tile Afghan Question.

LONDON, May SO.-The Daily News
announces this morning, on the highest
authority, that Russia's reply to Eng
lands counter proposals was received in
London yesterday. The reply, it says,
involves the acceptance of the proposals
and practically settles in a satisfactory
manner the whole question of the AT.
CHAN boundary. Both Meruchak and
Zu!6kar remain in possession Of the
Ameer. The main features of the work
of delimitation have been finally fixed,
and the boundary commission will settle
the details. The negotiations have been
conducted in the most friendly spirit on
both sides.
The Daily Mems, in an editorial, says
that Mr.. Gladstone has crowned his illus.
trious career by again rendering the
country signal service. We must not
forget, now that peace is secured, how
near we came to a war such as this gen.
Grafton has not seen. Neither mere OBJ
stinacy nor skill in diplomacy could
have ayerted it. The task required a
combination of the highest qualities
which go to make up the complex gift
of state5manship.
LONDON, May 2O.-The Standards St.
Petersburg correspondent says: The
following is the exact state of the AT
CHAN frontier negotiations at the present
time: The Ameer surrenders Penjdeh
for Zul6kar. The question is unsettled
as to whether Zul6kar Pass SHALL form
part of the boundary or remain wholly
in Afghanistan. Russia insists that
Meruchak belongs to Pepjdeh. England
objects and makes the retention of Mer.
uchak sine qua non. This difference
of opinion is now the main difficulty.

Edmunds's Visit to England.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-There is q
great deal of interest taken by public
men in Senator Edmund's invitation to
go to England to testify before the house
of lords. 1t has been incorrectly stated
that he would appear before parliament.
He is not in the city. Senator Morril.
from Vermont, says that the house OF
lords is sitting now as a court for the
examination of various questions. It's
sittipgs correspond to those of our su-
preme court. He says that it is entirely
without precedent to invite any of our
public men or lawyers to appear before it
as witnesses to explain away any of the
topics considered by them. He has no
idea of the subject to be explained by
Mr.. Edmund. The junior Vermont SEN
ator is very we'll known in England and
has quite a large acquaintance in the
house of lords. When the high Joint
commission was here Mr.. Edmunds
became very we'll acquainted with the
English members, and he has visited
England several times and has been very
generally received in London society.
he met Lord Coleridge when he was
here. His wide acquaintance with
English law and his position as chairman
of the judiciary committee in the Senate
would naturally make him the lawyer to
be selected if the English lords should
desire to consult any American authority
upon the subject of our laws. His wife
and daughter will accompany him. It's
said by some that there is certain bit OF
diplomacy behind all this, and that MIR.
Phelps is responsible for Mr.. Edmunds's
invitation. This theory, however, is
accepted by very few.

Grcenville,s Railroad Bargain.

GREENvILLE, May 27.-The action Of
the board of directors of the Greenville
and Laurens Railroad at Greenwood yes
terday, in authorizing and empowering
President Mauldin to contract with Pres.
ident Raoul for the consolidation of the
Greenville and Laurens road with the
Georgia Central, meets with hearty ap-
proval in Greenville. AS understood
here President Mauldin is clothed with
full authority to arrange all details and
to close o final contract. 1t will be re.
remembered that at the last meeting of
the directors President Raoul was present,
and had with him written proposition,
which was not submitted to the meeting,
owing to the fact that by vote the direc.
tors decided that they were not ready to
act upon proposition. The substance of
the proposition was stated verbally to the
meeting by DR.. Mauldin at the time.
President Raoul was not at the meeting
yesterday, and there was no proposition
from him. 1t was definitely stated, how.
ever, that President Raoul had not
changed his views upon the subject, and
that he is ready to treat with DR.. Maui.
din looking to the speedy completion OF
the road. The action of the meeting
yesterday may, therefore, be regarded as
virtually an acceptance of Mr.. Raoul's
offer, with possibly modification of some
of the details which are of little impor.
tance. President Raoul's proposition,
which he was prepared to make at the
former meeting, gave the Georgia Central
two years in which to complete the road
and have it in operation, but he assured
DR.. Mauldin at the time that it was the
purpose of the Georgia Central in the
event of consolidation to commence
work at once, and to have the road in
operation from Laurens to Greenville in
the fall of the present year. There is
every prospect, therefore, that the new
road will be completed in time for the
fall trade. DR.. Mauldin has yet to N eet
President Raoul and complete the con-
tract, which will doubtless be done at an
early day.
The Georgia Central is to have ma
iority of the stock and controlling in
terest in the road, and the consolidation
is to be permanent. The counties of
Greenville and Laurens, the present
owners of the road, will continue as
stockholders, owning the balance or
minority of the stock. The bright pros.
pect for the early completion OF the road
is welcome news to the people of the
section of country through which it runs.
