Some COnjectures as to Whether She VIII
or Whether She Won't.
It's the all absorbing question in Utica and
on Washington st., and the dailies have been
full Of rumors for month. will, or will
not the Burlington road bring the l. V. &
N. to this city ria Utica'
Thus saith our prophet on the subject:
From all stand points it seems highly proba-
BILE that the road will be built in the spring.
In the first place, it is beyond the compre.
hension of an ordinary mortal that the
Burlington should purchase three or four
half blocks of property solely for switch
purposes, and to straighten its tracks. II
the road intended to give Ottawa the go.by
in regard to the !. V, 4 N, it would never
have purchased those lots, for tho very com.
prehensive reason that il would have had no
earthly, nor celestial, use for them whatever.
In that case the I. V. & N. would have
relieved this branch Of the bulk Of its traffic,
while present circumstances, such as the
stalking out OF the route on Warrington ST.,
and the purchase Of Q lot at the corner Of
Washington and Walnut sts.. in order to
allow good curve to the tracks, tends to
show that the road will be built and Ottawa
made the transfer station for oil the coal
along the l. V. & N. to the Northwest. This
will necessitate the construction Of double
tracks between here and Aurora, and the
erection Of a Union depot at Jefferson st., as
the I. V. s. N. would hardly be compelled to
60 to Madison st. from Washington. Oper'
ton will begin in the spring, and by ne1'
fall we can expect to see round house and
a repair shop in our midst, for there is room
in abundance for them on the Burlington s
newly acquired territory.

THE DEBATE IN THE SENATE.
Mr.. Cmiiom Predicts tho Ultimate hnne%a
tI0n OF Cunndn.

Mr.. CnIiom Predicts the Ultimate hnntxa.
tinn OF Canada.
WASHINGTON, D. G., August S0.-Thc
Senate to-day resumed consideration OF
the Presidents retaliation message and
Mr.. George proceeded with the speech
which he had begun yesterday. In re-
ply to the assertion made by Mr.. Ed
munds in his speech last week that the
President had right to suspend the
operation OF Section a,00G, of the Re
vised Statutes (which allows the transit
OF goods between the United States and
Canada without the payment Of the
dutyt, Mr.. George argued that II the
President were to undertake to suspend
the operations OF that section he would
be assuming autoeratic power, power de-
MED TO him by the constitution and
possessed only by Congress.
Mr.. Cullom addressed the Senate on
the same subject. In his opening re-
marks ne spoke OF the United States
being destined to dominate the Ameri-
can continent, and expressed the opin-
ion that in the not far distant future the
Canadian provinces would become n
part OF the United States. The rejec-
tion OF the fisheries treaty by the Senate
had met, he said, the approval OF a very
large majority OF the people OF the
country. .,
The relation message might be fairly
taken as evidence that even the Presi-
dent had become satisfied that the
treaty was mistake. To retrieve what
he had lost by that mistake the Presi-
dent had launched out into broader
sea and would find himself in deeper
ter than ever before and with greater
dangers threatening him. Mr.. Cullom
then addressed himself to the details Of
the subject, going extensively into the
question us to whether the Secretary OF
the Treasury had not the power to pro.
hibit shipments from Ganaha to United
States ports for expectation. He argued
that the Secretary OF the Treasury had
the power practically 10 prohibit sucil
transit by establishing such rules and
regulations ms would make it inconve'
ment. At the close Of Mr.. GRllom's
speech the subject went over without
action.
