There is some excitement in Ogdens-
burg concerning railroad and street rail
road matters, growing out of the fact that
when the Ogdensburg Street Railway
company in laying its track, reached the
place where the tracks of the Rome,
Watertown X OgdensDurg railroad cross
River street, they received notice from
the station agent, forbiddng them to cross
the railroad tracks. At this point the
railroad has three tracks in close proximity
crossing the street. The railroad filled in
between their rails with railroad iron.
Negotiations are in progress in relation to
the matter between the two companies,
and the outcome is awaited with interest

together with the iron ships Monocacy,
Alert and Ranger third rate, and Myth

weapons are converted guns, having a
range of perhaps two miles, excellent
arms Tor operations against wooden ships

An Ottawa special this morning CON
tains the important information that a
new commercial treaty has been pratical-
ly settled by Minister Phelps and the Eng
lish foreign Office, and is sent to Canada
to be approved before beng made public
N this country The main points are
that England gives to our fishermen the
right To fish in Canadian waters, and in
return we are to lower the duty on Cana
dian fish and take other steps toward a
practical reciprocity treaty.
The fishermen have asked for nothing
of this sort, and they have suffered most
from Canadian OLtrases the senate has
ny an emphatic vote expressed its con-
demnaiiOn of the plan as outlined hy Mr..
BaYard IN the presidents message, and
the public sentiment of New England is
strongly opposed to any renewal of reel
procity with Canada With these facts
in view, 1t seems incredible that Mir
BaYard has gone to work and had such a
treaty drawn as our correspondent out

capacity to do unexpected things and the

WAsHINGToN, Sept 2G-Gen Miles is
having peculiarly disagreeable expert
ence just now, Notwithstanding the sue
cessIul termination of his Indian cam
paign. The war department officials have
sharply rebuked him for accepting the
surrender of the Apaches on conditions,
although it is not yet proved that the re-
port to that effect is correct. The acting
secretary has telegraphed to him several
times for full account of the surrender
and the attending circumstances, but he
has mol yet complied with the demand fol.
q report, although the last despatch was of
very peremptory character, 1t is said he
IS having bitter controversy with Major
Gen. Howard, who claims that Gen. Miles
has acted in an insubordinate manner in
not sending his reports through him in
stead OF to the war department direct
Gen. Howard is Gen. Miless immediate
superior, and in view of the customs of
the army It Is the opinion of the officers
here that the former has just grounds for
complaint.
