| SAN FRANc,sco, Mry 3O,-It is statet
here that the arhitrators of the Transconti
rental pool had decided upon the percent
age to be awarded to each line in the asso-
cistion. The d. cision has not been prblicly
announced, and only the managers OF the
different roads have been made acquainted
with the result of the arbitrators' work. II
is said that several of the roads feel that
great injustice has been done them, for thei,
percentages are much less than the earnings
OF the roads.

bay state that news has just reached there
of disastrous earthquake in the province of

and have continued at intervals of ten min.
ute ever since. The shocks are very severe
az Serinaqui, the capital of Cashmer. The
barracks in which severa, hundred soldiers
quartered, were completely destroyed, col
lapsing so suddenly that nearly half of them
were imprisoned in the debris. Fifty are
known to have been killed, while fully 100
were more or less injured. Portions of the city
have been demolished. while very few of the
remaining buildings escaped injury, many
having large rents made in them. People
became panic stricken shortly after the dis
turbancs began and fed from the city to
take refuge in boats and tents in open fields.

BRIGHTER CROP PROSPECTS.

LONDON, May, 3l.-fhe most encouraging
feature of che agricultural outlook is the
favorable change in the weather which has
come at the most opportune time, when
warmth ard sunshine will produce the best
iesults, and especially a. it has been pre-
coded by copious rains. The backward con.
dision OF crops and discoloration of wheat
have been sources of complaint, but it is now
admitted that no lasting injucv was done,
aud if the present iue weather continues a
l-pi l improvement in harvest prospects is
expected.
EXPULSION OF GERMANS EY RUSSIA.
LONDON, June 1.-The supposi:ion that
the expulsion of Russian Poles from Ger.
man territory, where they I'D settled 10 es-
cape Russian dsspoiism, was due to an uu.
derstanding beSw cen the governments Of
Russia and Germany, seems to have no suf-
ficlent foundation. Russia, it appears, is
anything but pleased at the action of the
German authorities, and is engaged in the
execution of a reSaliatocy measure. Many
Germans who have been residing in Russia
are being forced to return to their native
country. Hardly any notice is given them
that they will be required TO return, and
much hardship and suffering attends the
expulsion. In many instances these refugees
reach the German frontier in destitute
condition. l

OTTAWA, June 2.-The Canadian Pacific
Railway Company have notified American

Of the Canadian Pacific to force traffic over
its own line north of Lake Superior, which is
now completed. The eject of this may be
to arouse compesitio, on the part of Ameri.
can railways, aud the settlement OF the west
