A Traffic Association Fails to Pieces.

A Traffic Association Falls to Pieces.
CHICAGO, March 25.-The Northwestern Traf-
&c Association went to pieces to-day. The mem
bers have been in consultation for two days at
Commissioner Carman's Office. At noon it ad-
journed sine die. The members of the pool are
the Northwestern, the st. Paul, the Rock Island,
the Illinois Central and the north and south
Iowa roads. It involves almost the total traffic
of these great corporations. The trouble was
between the st. Paul and the Northwest
ern, the latter taking the position that
the ST. Paul demanded too large q percentage.
association does not really expire till March
81, when it ceases by limitation. The opinion
in railroad circles is that, although the officials
begin by saying that there will be no cutting,
there will be a war of rates. In order to not let
rates go to pieces without some check, Commits
sioner Carman has called a special meeting of
the general freight agents of the lines in Iowa,
Dakota and Minnesota at St Paul next Monday
to consider the situation and, if possible, devise
measures to hold up rates. The Times to-mor-
row will say it is the general impression that the
dissolution of the association will
carry with it the Western association, and in
volve the roads in q general freight war.

bent backward and forward to q sharp angle; but
perhaps only to locomotive and marine engineers
does it appear equally natural that the same re-
suits would follow in time if the bending
were SO small as to be quite imperceptiible to the
eye. A locomotive crank axle bends but one
eighty-fourth of an inch, and a straight driving
axle a still smaller amount, under the heaviest
bending stresses to which they are subject, and
yet their life is limited. During the year 1883
ore iron axle in fifty broke in running, and one
in fifteen was renewed in consequences of de-
fects. Taking iron and steel axles together, the
number then in use on the railways of the
United Kingdom was IA. S48. and l. of these Oil re-
quired renewal during the year.

THE boycott is an old device in China.
Tt was long since used there to stamp
out foreign religions; and it is used by
the whole nation on an extensive scale
to keep out external commerce and
forbid the "foreign devils" from trad
ing with the people. The Spirit of
Mission for August says: "The refusal
of the native Christians at Pwo Kau,
in China, to take part in the heather
village ceremonies hasgreatly incensed
the unconverted villagers. They have
'boycotted' the Christians, and denied
them access to the public wells, and
dispute their right to use the public
roads" When it comes to putting
obstacles in the way of trade the boy
cotters will find it hard work to excel
the Chinese.

TERRIRLE REVENGE.

Hundreds of Natives In the Hebrides
Slaughtered by q German Expedition.
The steamer Moraoa arrived at San
francisco on the 4th from Sidney,
Australia. She brought news of the
arrival there of the German war ship
Albatross from among the Hebrides
Islands, where she had been for the
purpose OF Furnishing the natives, for
the murder of German subjects at the
Island of Leneur. A crowd OF armed
natives, who had gathered on the
beach, were fired into and a hundred
or more killed. The village of Tom
bolouga, on the Island OF Pentecost,
was then bombarded and many more
natives we're killed. When q landing
was effected at the latter place por-
tions Of human bodies were found, but
most Of the bodies had apparently
been carried away. On both islands
all the native villages that were found
were burned. OnLeneur man named
Killan, and on Pentecost a sailor on
the German schooner Upoln, had been
murdered by natives. Before the AL
batross returned 60 Sidney she is re-
ported to have proceeded to the Caro-
line Islands and hauled down the Ger
man flags there.

in from 16 to 1S hours by

This saving of time is an important
