Jay Gould, G. P. Huntington, Charles
Francis Adams, w. B. Strong and
other railroad magnates interested in
western railroads have been holding
conferences in New York, in which
Chairman Midgley, of the Southwestern
Railway Association, has taken a
prominent part. The object of these
conferences hes been kept a profound
secret. On Saturday the announce
ment was made that conferences came
to an end, and agreement had been
made whereby the troubles among
southwestern railroads have been
ended, and rates would be advanced
from 25 to IS per cent. as soon as pos
sible, but this announcement
WAS No NEARER THE TRUTH
than the previous reports regarding the
mysterious conferences. Railroad mag
mates evidently desired to keep every.

lance of the proposed agreement until

LONDON, Aug. 2L-There is now war to the
death between Muley Hassan, the Sultan Of
Morocco, aud his rebellious subjects. Their
last outrage was more than even his barbarous
nature could stand, and he has set out to avenge
his cousin, Prince Muley's, death in a wholesale
manner. Some time aco the Sultan sent to the
rebels, at their request, Prince Muley, with an
escort of 200 horsemen, collect tribute and re-
ceive their submission, but the rebels, remem-
berng how Muley Hassan put to death their
companions, whom they sent as peace deputa-

themselves OF the privilege accorded and have

A Short but Pointed Speech to the Voters OF
Waterville.
WATERvILLE, Me-, Aug. 27.-Mr. Blaine ai-
dressed IA audience of about 2,0e0 here this aft
ernoon, but made only short speech, owing to
hoarssness. He addressed himself principally
to working men, dwelling upon the injury which
would be done them should the Presidents tar
if policy be carried into effect. Mr. Blaine
then referred to President Clevelands message
upon the Canadian treaty as . mere scheme to
divert the attention OF the American
people from the question Of protection,
and to stop as much as possible
the popular discussion Of the subject, which he
feared would only strengthen the Republican
position. In his present spirit he said the P.esi-
dent will be satisfied with nothing that does not
put courage in his administration and protective
tariff out Of the minds of the people The
speaker believed that Congress would not crafty
the President, and that the American peo-
pie would put the whole question over
to next year, by which time a Repub-
lican administration would be in power,
when the question could be equitably
settled. He expressed sympathy with Senator
Morgan, OF Alabama and Hon. William L. Put
nam, OF Maine, in their efforts to second the
Presidents action. While Mr.. Putnam is advo-

year is not likely to be an

PUT-IN-BAY, O., Aug. 2Z-It was so chilly
this afternoon that fires were lighted in the
Berdan cottage, and General Harrison remained
indoors, reading and writing. In the evening
his mail was brought over to him from Putin

which the residents Of Put-in-Bay intended to
give the General on Friday was to be taken
