TRUNK
At one time there was an appearance as
though the Canada Pacific railway would
swallow up the Grand Trunk. More recently
there Is an appearance that there will be
practical connection between the Northern
Pacific and Grand Trunk systems, a connec-
tlon that will be very valuable to both lines.
The extension Of the Northern Pacific road
to the American side of the Sault st. Mary.
and the extension Of the Grand Trunk Mid
land system to the Sault would bring both
roads opposite each other, and bridge
across the rapids would connect them. The
charter for the bridge already exists and Is
in the control Of the Grand Trunk Company.
1t would not be necessary for the Northern
Pacific to build line the whole distance to
cover the gap between its present system
and the Sault, as that gap is at present par
TALLY filed by private road, and the owner
Is friendly to the Grand Trunk. Referring
to this matter, Sir Henry Tyler, president
of the Grand Trunk, at the last meeting Of
his company, endorsed the proposed connec-
ton of these roads, saying they were natural
allies, and that negotiations were going on.

A Cabinet Meeting.


All members of the Cabinet were present
at the meeting today, except Secretary Man
nlng. The session was devoted entirely to
the consideration of the Presidents mes
sage. The document is nearly finished. The
PRESIDENT has received all data necessary for
It's compilation, except such as relates to the
war and naval establishments, and tais will
be furnished him in a few days. The Presi-
dent read c0mpletedlportions of his message
to. the Cabinet today. 1t is understood that
the message will be much shorter than the
one submitted to Congress last year. Inqui-
ry at the Treasury Department shows that
as the time for the assembling of Congress
approaches public interest in the national
bank question is visibly increasing. The
Comptroller of the currency is now receiv-
ing letters from all parts of the country max
ing suggestions as to more permanent ba-
sis for national banks. These letters come
not only from persons interested iu national
banks, but from officers 1of State banks, pri-
vate bankers, and from prominent manufac-
turers. Many merchants seem also to have
directed their attention to the maintenance
of the existing system. Comptroller Tren-
holm said today that he was very mnch
pleased to receive suggestions, and hoped
everybody having any ideas on the subject
would communicate them to him, so that he
would be prepared to lay them before the
proper committees in case Congress should
take up consideration of the subject.

Stone.
The Democrats are reviving their old CAM
paign charges in order to relieve the Presi-
dent from his embarrassment in the Stone
case. Mr.. Stones letter is known to be
quite as satisfactory from an apologetic
point of view as Benton's, and it has not
been well received at tho White House. 1t
says nothing about reinstatement. Ii claims
only that the campaign speeches were made
without neglecting official duties, and
indirectly expresses the opinion that
as nothing can be proven in the
way of mismanagement of the Office
his record should be made clear. The prin-
cipal reason given why reinstatement
should not follow is that other charges have
been made against Mr.. Stone and that his
case will be more complicated than that OF
the Democrat. 1t is certain that the Presi-
dents attention is being called to the par
tisan charges that were made against him
over year ago, and that the Pennsylvania
Democrats who want his place will urge that
they make his standing very much different
from that of man who went into the cam
paign with nothing against him. If his
letter does net effect his restoration this
course will be made prominent as the reason
for the refusal
