CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 3l.-At the eighty

Among the speakers were President In

States Senator Dawes, OF Massachusetts.

clined TO give il, as he understood the
meeting TO be a secret one. lie had no

The difficulty is not In lack Of power, but
in its exercise. We are too apt
to judge the law by lis immediate rather
than by lis ultimate effect on those who
are passing judgment. Massachusetts
complains bitterly Of the long and short
clauses. ChicagJ complains OF the prohi-
bition Of pooling. aud shippers from local..
ties complain that their expectations OF re-
lief FROM unjust Determinations have not
been realized. There is no reasonable
ground 10 expect reycal of the law.
There is, on the otho, hand, a reason TO
expect an enlargement Of its scope and
powers in the direction OF clearer deflni-

THE PRESIDENTS DEPARTURE.
He ts Accompanied by Secretaries VIM
dom, Proctor and Rusk.

The President has gone to Bar Harbor and
he will not return to this city until the 18th in
slant. The fourth and last car on the $40
limited train, which left the Baltimore and
Potomac depot at its appointed time this
morning, was numbered $50, and it is President
Roberts private car. Comfortably seated in
the car were the President, Secretary Window
Secretary Proctor, Secretary Rusk and Private
Secretary Halford, and when the train pulled
out each member Of the quintet was reading q
newspaper. They expect to arrive in New
York by A o'clock this afternoon. and in less
than an hour thereafter will be on board the
steamer Pilgrim en- route for Boston. There
the President will be met by Mr.. Walker
Blaine, who will escort him to Bar Harbor.
Secretary Window has business in Boston
and will not go to Bar Harbor. Neither will
Secretary Proctor whose presence is required
at his home in Vermont.
CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK TOMORROW.
Secretary Rusk goes no farther than New
York, where an important conference will be
held tomorrow. The program is to have a
number of representative railroad men and
Senator Mcpherson meet the Secretary at the
Fifth Avenue hotel tomorrow at 10 am, to
discuss matters connected with diseased cattle
in transhipment. The Secretary wants to have
the railroads SO arrange matters that they can
centraliZe the cattle coming over their roads
at convenient points where they may be in
spected the more thoroughly. 1t is the inten-
tion of the Agricultural department to do all in
Its power to prevent the expectation of diseased
cattle. DR.. Salmon, chief of the bureau OF
animal industry in the Agricultural depart
ment, will also be present at the meeting.

MAJOR RAYMOND'S FUTURE.
He Has a Conference With the President
-Rumors as to His Being Relieved.

Rumors that Major Raymond is to be shortly
relieved from duty as Engineer Commissioner
Of the District are very thick around the Dis
trict buildings and is the chief topic of conver-
sation among the clerks in the engineer de-
partment. The latest rumor is that
the major will be relieved as soon
as the President gets to Boston. 1t is known
that the President sent for the major yesterday
afternoon and had long talk with him, but
whether or not the subject of his retirement
from the commissionership of the District was
discussed is not known. Should Col Wilson be
appointed to take charge of West Point it has
been thought that Major Raymond
would take his place as Commissioners
OF public buildings and grounds. The major
was spoken of very favorably for the place, and
it is understood was heavily backed by the War
department. and his personal friend, Secretary
Tracy. 1t is now understood that he will not
be offered that place. There is no telling what
will be done, although it seems that Major Ray
mond will be relieved this week. The rumors
have had bad effect upon the
clerks In his department, who not only fear dis
mlssal from his successor, but dislike to lose
the warm personal friend the major has been
to them. In conversation with Major Ray
mond upon the subject, he said that he had
heard the rumors, but didn't know how much
credence to attach to them. When asked abous
his visit to the White house he said that he had
had an interview with the President, but that
1t was not in connection with his retirement
from the engineer commissionership of the
District Of Columbia

A BAD WASHOUT.
Great Damage Done by the Breaking Of
q Dam at North Scituate.

Providence, r. L. Aug 6.--Particulars Of a
washout at North Scituate, a small settlement
in the northwestern part of the state, in last
Fridays storm, have just reached here. The
Moshwanlskuck manufacturing company's dam
broke away just before noon, carrying every
thing with it and flooding the mill property.
The structure was new one, built of granite,
and was considered one of the best in the state
The gates had been worked but once. Men had
been at work all the morning calking the
crevices in the solid masonry. When thus en-
gagged a regular tidal wave swept across the
lake and down the stream. The workmen
abandoned their places and rushed for the hill
sides. They were not a second too soon, for
the great pile of masonry, gates and buttress
were carried down the stream. A part of the
mill was also washed away. The mill dam
alone cost $4,000. The damage to the sur
rounding property was very great. Small
houses were undermined and much household
property was washed away. The people rushed
to the hills for safety, several abandoning their
houses, cattle and fowls to the mercy Of the
torrent Some Of the highways are quilted 20
feet deep,

A DEFUNCT BANKS ASSETS.
Coal Lands Sell for a Good Sum and
Deposisors Will be Benefited.

SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. 6.-The interest Of ex-
Cashier George A. Jessup of the defunct City
bank in a forty-acre tract Of coal lands that
was originally represented as a very fiimsy
asset was bought up yesterday by the Delaware
and Hudson canal company for 100000 in
cash. Sam1 NJ. stetler, who was supposed to
have some slight interest in the property that
is not clearly defined, received a check for
$4,000 but he was Immediately arrested at
the instance of Attorney L. n. Willard. who
claimed that there were judgments amounting
to $4,000 against him. Stetler denied the
claim. 1t is also alleged that Stetler's amount
OF the purchase money is a species of black
mail. but that it was paid to avoid litigation
that might postpone the sale. The patient de-
positors of the Scranton City bank will profit
to the extent of $780, 900 by the transaction. and
their hopes for an early dividend have been
greatly heightened.
