The government of Mexico is TAX
ing active measures for developing
the resources and enlarging the COM
mercial facilities of that country.
A special effort is being made to en-
courage the building of railroads,
the establishment Of boundaries, and
the opening of mines, and to this
end large subsidies and many valu-
able concessions have been made.
Some of these are TO native capital
lists and to foreign corporations.
The largest concessions ever grant
ed by Mexico has just been made
to an American. 1t is for the build
ing of a railroad running through
Mazatlan and connecting with the
Southern Pacific road at Yuma, Ari-
zonia. Mexico is also just now eX-
tending special inducements TO immi-
grants, and offers fifty million acres
of public lands for settlements on
easy and liberal terms. Immigrants
are promised exemption for ten years
from military duty, taxes, import,
and export duties. All this progress
is being made in the face Of the Bit
ter opposition of the Clerical party
in Mexico, the Roman Catholic poll
ticians and intriguers who see in the
advancing enlightenment and mate
rial prosperity of the country a cor
responding decline in their power
over the people.

been enshrined in history as the
proudest peaceful achievement Of the
greatest of republics. Its greatest
advantage over the Centennial would
be its permanency and another adj
vantage would be the joint undertake
ing not of one nation, but of several.
This is a capital plan of disposing of
most of the troublesome surplus.
Of other important measures be-
fore the senate, it might be well to
name the tariff agitation and the Blair
educational bill. Several speeches
have been made on the former SUBJ
ject, Senators Sherman voorhees,,
Teller and Allison participating in
the discussion, the presidents mess
age being the provocation of the de-
bate. Tariff talk sounds pertinent
enough now, but before the end of
the session it will be an old story and
the habitues of the galleries and read
ers of newspapers will be heartily
tired of it.
Mr.. Blair declares that he will push
his bill until it is finally disposed of,
and he processes himself confident of
it's success; but there are many who
do not share this opinion, one of
whom may be that strict construc-
zionist of the constitution, President
Cleveland. This is mere conjec-
ture, for which there seems at least
the probability of a reason, if one
may judge by the chief executives ac-
tons and expressions on kindred
subjects. That congress will pass
the Blair bill there will be but little
doubt. Still, the House committee
on education in the fiftieth, as in the
forty-ninth congress, is believed to
be hostile to the measure.

WASHINGTO LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9Th.

washington, Jan. 9th.
At last Speaker Carlisle has re-
lieved the suspense of members of
the House-a few being gratitied, but
the majority disappointed-by APP
pointing the various committees which
are charged with shaping the course
of legislation in the fiftieth congress,
and whatever may be the opinion of
those who had axes to grind, the YER
dict of the country will probably be
favorable to Mr.. Carlisle, for of one
thing there can be no doubt, that ex-
perience has qualified him to discharge
this important trust better than any
other man in the country. The lead
ing committees are notably strong,
and it is believed that few mistakes
have been made in assignments.
Both branches of congress now being
organized for work, the business of
the session will be proceeded with in
a regular and systematic manner.
Owing to the large number of young
men in the House, it is thought the
greatest activity and interest will CEN
ter in that body. Thirty are under
forty-fve, while sixteen are under
thirty-fve years of age. Benjamin
Shivelv of Indiana is the most youth
full, as he will not be thirty-one till
March next. Next above him is
James Phelan of Tennessee, the young
newspaper proprietor, whose age is
but thirty-three.
Of the new bills presented in the
senate, which, on account of its be-
ing a continuous body, and at any
time ready for the transaction of bus
mess, generally gets the start of the
House, mention may we'll be made of
that of Senator Hoar of Massachu-
sets, for the Worlds Exposition in
1892, which was referred for consid-
Grafton to the select committee on the
| Centennial of the Constitution and
the discovery of America. Among
other things this bill provides that
space be assigned on some vacant
reservation in Washington for per-
manent state and territorial building,
permanent exhibit of the representa-
tive history, resources, arts and in
dustries of our forty-six states and
territories; also for a permanent
three Americas building, to give an
exhibit of the history, antiquities, re-
sources, arst and industries of North,
temporary building or buildings for
an exhibit between May lst and Oc-
tober 1st, 1892. by all nations other
than those of the American continent,
and for suitable site for statue of
Columbus. 1t is further proposed
that the president shall invite the sew
eral sister nations of the three Amer
icas to participate in the projected ex-
position. If this great international
enterprise shonld be carried to sue
cessful issue, it will be the grandest
art, industrial and historical Exposi
ton of the world, eclipsing even the
glory and the grandeur of the great
Centennial Exposition, which has

Terrible Railroad Accident

The Portland express which left
Boston at | p. M, met with n serj-
Gus accident one hour later at the
Haverhill bridge over the Merr,mac
river, by which nine persons were
killed and twenty-five injured. The
train was running at great speed
and the engine and tender were lust
passing on to an ahutment of the
bridge, when the forward trucks of
the smoker left the track and were
followed by two passenger cars,
which were completely wrecked, in
crushing into and demolishing the
water-tank house. Here the section
hands were taking dinner and a re-
tired merchant of Bradford, Mass.
who was talking with them, together
with one of the hands was killed.
Those killed and wounded were most
~ in these two cars and the car be-
hind.
About thirty passengers inside
found themselves suddenly at the
top of the car, while it seemed to
those who had presence of mind to
think, that the car was tumbllng off
the bridge to the river below. The
70
and nobody was very serious V in
Jured. AS soon as they got out,
such as were able, rushed back and
helped those who were imprisoned in
the wrecked cars.
The work of cleaning the wreck
was Immediately pushed forward as
rapidly as possible, and at 80 nine
bodies had been taken from the ru-
ms. Several were disfgured beyond
recognition, and at the station house
the scene was a terrible one. The
men were laid on the floor. upon
which hay had been spread. In the
ladies room were five or six women,
who were suffering terribly. Many
of the injured were taken away in
hacks and by friends.
One of the saddest sights was the
death of Mrs. G.. p. Goodwin of
Kennehunk, Me. She was riding in
the second passenger car, with lit
tie child in her arms. Both were in
stantly killed as was also her hus-
band.
The train was one of the finest |
equipped on the road: and after the
car had broken apart from
the near portion of the train, bound
ed forward on the bridge and the |
brake was applied. The |
car was thrown on it's side, and it is |
probable that, but for the action of |
this brake the car would have fallen |
into the Merrimac river, 100 feet be-
low, killing all of 40 passengers in
side. All the cars contained the |
Baker steam heater, and in spite of
the severe test they went through
and the shaking up they received,
no part of the cars caught fire. 1t |
has been ascertained that the acct
dent was caused by broken fange
on the forward right-hand truck
wheel of smoking car, and was
evidently the result of a defective
casting.
Later reports vary some, and re-
port that the derailed car filled with
people, plunged beneath great wa
ter tank. The props were Knocked
out and the tank, containing 100, 900
gallons of water, crushed the car
like an egg shell.

Senator Sherman opened his great
speech with delicious bit of sarcasm.
He said the President of the United
States, departing from the practice of
his illustrious predecessors, dropped
from his recent annual message all
reference to the foreign relations of
the country and to the interesting
questions in national affairs, even
emitting the usual recognition of the
Supreme Ruler of the universe, and
postponing all things celestial and
terrestrial, until the surplus revenue
be got rid of.

The bill calls for an appropriation of

and therefore latent forces, that We have

be noted that the discomfort among our

vast number of these are Scottish Pres
