Rail, Wire. and Cab.

At the late meeting of the stockholders of
the Dexter and Newport Railroad, it was
voted to extend its lease for the term OF
years desired at six per cent on the stock.
J. W. Bradbury, F. A. Wilson and George
Fisher were appointed committee to ar
range the details of the lease and to submit
the same An adjourned meeting of stock
holders will be held in Augusta, Dec. 4.
That horse railroad in Brunswick and
Topsham would prove a profitable invest
ment to its stockholders there is but little
doubt Such has been the case in the vii
lagos of Fryeburg with population by cen
sus of 1850, of 1898, and Fairfield by same
census Numbers 30il, while Brunswick and
TOpsham at that date numbered nearly 5000
inhabitants, and at the present date would
probably exceed l0,oeo.- BrHHspick Tel,

one thing which the railroads have i'm
proved upon in recent years is the hand-car,
for the use of the section hands In place
of the Cumberous. awkward vehicles of the
olden time, they ow have a light, easily
handled car, capable of high speed and of
being quickly stopped. Velocipede cars.
run on the tricycle. plan, are being adopted
by many roads and are very convenient for
the use of track inspectors and telegraph
line men.
The bicycle locomotive, invented by Mr.
+. Moody Boynton, is now nearly completed
at the works of the Portland Company, and
il ls said that rain of cars to run with it
will be experimental with at Old Orchard
NEXT summer. Its boiler is shaped about the
same as the common locomotive boiler, but
rather smaller in diameter. Its fire box Is
deeper, and the cab will be two stories high
the tireDan occupying the lover and the en-
gineer the upper story. The car. will also
be made to run on one rail and will be made
two stories high to correspond with the cab
Of the bicycle locomotive which will be
some sixteen feet high. The track will be
built thus There will be a rail above as
well under the train. The upper rail will
be supported by strong iron columns planted
on either side of the lower rail at a sufficient
distance apart to ALLOW the train space TO
pass between them. Grooved wheels Of a
small size as compared with the driving
wheel, will he fixed to the tops of the cars
and locomotives TO run on the upper rail
In this way the trsin will be prevented from
topping over. 1t i said that great speed
can be sttaiuei.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF the Inter state Commerce Commits
sioncrs.

The annual report of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, after dealing with various
statistics, refers to the long and snort ha ul.
1t says
In July OF the present year the Chicago
st. Paul & Kansas City Railroad Company. a
company having line frsm Chicago to st.
Paul and Minneapolis, announced to the
commission its purpose to reduce very large
ly its rates between the terminal points of
its road without reducing intermediate rates.
The company laid down two propositions as
iustifying its action: First. its rates to in
termediate station, we're perfectly just and
reasonable, and therefore there was no in
justice in maintaining them; second, the
rates between its terminal point. were
forced down by the unfair competition
of an l;her line. The reason seemed strong
and very certainly plausible. 10
The ocean competition is still recognized
by the roads to some extent as controlling
through rates upon overland traffic. and is
relied upon just ication for somewhat
higher rates TO points this side OF the Pacific
coast terminals than are made 10 points sit
nsted directly on the Pacific coast
With reference to the rate war, which
have taken place in the Northwest and among
the trunk lines during the year the report
says:
The existing difficulties among the trunk
lines bad their origin in suspicious on the
part of the carriers respectively that their
competitors were not observing the open
public rates, and the reduction. were made
professediy for the purpose Of receiving the
proportions of freight which th0se entering
into. il claimed was their due. but which they
were not getting because of the secret or un-
lawful practices of others. Efforts of the
commission to obtain from the parties evi-
dence O. the practices they suspected have
been wholly Intellectual, and the var of rates
has proceeded without the possibility of any
external authority interposing etfeetusily to
bring II to an end.
Speaking of the necessity of anity among
the railroads in their arrangements for serv
ing the public. the report says:
While the commission is not II this time
prepared to recommend general legislation
towards the establishment and promotion of
relations between the carriers that shall bet
ter subserve the public interest than those
which are nov common, it must nevertheless
look forward to the possibility OF something
of that nature becoming at some time imper-
ative. unless q great improvement in the eX-
isting condition Of things is voluntarily inau-
gurSted.

Awaiting Action By lhe Finance
Committee.

The report of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury will not be sent in till Tuesday. The
programme for the week in the Senate will
depend upon the result of the meeting of the
finance committee which is Gale for Tues
day morning. If it it is then decided to
take up the committees revenue measures
the Senate's substitute for the Mills
tariff bill pending at the
close of the last session, its
consideration will preclude the possibility of
any other bill coming to the front until it is
disposed of.
1t i. the expressed desire af Senators Nor
rill, Allison and Sherman to push the matter
to vete, and in all probability it will be
taken up. If by any possibility the revenue
bill should not come up the probabilities OF
the course of legislation are rather vague.
rhe bills most likely to receive prompt at
teution with the least opposition, are those
for the admission of North Dakota, Montana
and Nevada territory into the union.
Tuesday and Wednesday will probably be
devoted to the consideration of bills on the
calendar in what is called Consideration
morning hour" the privilege of calling up
bills resting with the committee on Indian
affairs, and the pending measure being
for the settlement of claims OF old settler
band of Indians.
Thursday is the dav liked by the demo-
cratic caucus resolution for the consideration
of the direct tax bill but it is s.il matter
of surmise whether or not the caucus pro-
gram will be adhered to. AT caucus held
on the night of April II, the memorable
deadlock which held the house in continu-
GU. session from April D. was broken by the
adoption Of the following resolution:
Resolved, On resssembiing tomorrow the
House adjourn with the understanding the
committee of the rules will report the spe-
cial order setting apart Thursday, Dec. 6,
1858, Immediately after reading the journal
for the col sderaton of Senate bill No l39,
to provide for refunding the direct tax levied
in 1861, in which order a reasonable
time not to exceed three days.
viz Ihursday Saturday and Tuesday
shall be allowed for debate and amendment,
and the time for the vote on the final passage
will be xed at four O'Clock Tuesday The
effect of the caucus action was the adjourn
nent of the House on the TO lowing day,
with the understanding implied by the caucus
resolution, but not expressed by any actlon
of the House, that the direct tai bill should
be Especial order for Thursday next. 1t is
generally understood that this program will
be carried out, although there has been no
meeting of the committee on rules to formu-
late an order.
The opponents of the bill, without any
formal consultation, have decided that it
would be BAD faith for them to resort to any
dilatory tactics, should the orde- be reported
by the committee or the bill be called up by
a democratic member, but they reserve the
right to take any other action they see fit in
the case should a republican member call It
up. Should the order be made Saturday
