fort, Dubarail and two journalists Of Paris.
The Chamber Of Deputies today discussed q

denounced the measure as a moekery Of
justice and an insult to the public conscience.
He declared the Senate. being political
body. could not act impartially In the case.
This assertion caused great uproar and
members exchanged abusive eplthets. Ths
president Of the chamber repeatedly called
the House to order and urged the members
to observe moderation In the discussion.
NJ. Delafosse said that law and deeeney
required Gen. Boulanger TO be tried at the
assizes. Otherwise the trial would be an
outrage on justice and a disgrace 10 the
Senate. His remarks caused renewal Of
the uproar. The members Of the Left made
no attempt to reply to NJ. Delafosse and
Immediately moved to apply the closure

motion made TO begin the discussion Of the

Tho Boat to Lead the valkyrie Over

New YORK, April 9.-At all the yacht
clubs last night the members talked more or
less of the international challenge, and the
more they talked the more firmly the de-
sire to retain the cup on this side Of the At
lantic at all hazards took root. t
II have made my mind up 'long ago as to
what the proper course should be in this
natter" said Jules Montant. a popular mem
Der Of the New York Y Yacht and Seawanhaka-
Corinthian Yacht Clubs. There is only one
thing for us TO do. That cup is the most
valuable trophy in existence, and we cannot
afford to let 1t 20 by dafanlt. 1t has been
sailed for and won by the fastest yacht In the
world, tne VO1uutrOr, and IL wOuiu De O0tn
unjust and unfair TO Gen. Paine who built
the boat, and so ably defended the cup, to
meet the Valkyrie with smaller boat. sim
ply for the sake of what you may call sport.
No doubt the challengers thought when they
challenged with the Valkyrie that we would
build boat Of her size, but what use or
sense is there In spending money on a new
boat that is untried when we have one that
we know Is fast.
sit is true that If the Volunteer meets the
Valkyrie she will defeat her, for we know
she can beat the Shamrock, Katrina and
Titania that sail in the same class as the
Valkyrie, even when they have the II or 10
minutes time allowed them, and such race
will not be worth going down the bay to see,
but we cannot help that. The Volunteer is the
boat to use, and there should be only three
races sailed, In my opinion"
Caldwell III. Colt, owner Of the schooner
Dauntless. said: 81 don't think any boat
but the fastest one we have should meet the
challenger. If they have built a 70-f0ot
yacht to sail in the 90-foot class, it Is their
lookout if they get beaten. The Volunteer
is the fastest yacht so far, and she can de-
fend the cup against all comers."

Quarrel with Egan.

NEW YORK. April 9.-At meeting of the
municipal council of the Irish National
League tonight. John Dewey submitted a
statement concerning his controversy with
Patrick Egan. The Evening Telegram
Wednesday last, in a Washington special,
said in an interview Egan had charged De-
-vAEF With -insniring an attack ON the genuine
ness of the cable despatch describing Egan's
services in unmasking Pigott, and called
Dewey traitor. Dewey telegraphed to Egan
that unless the statement was repudiated he
would hold Egan personally responsible, and
take steps to vindicate his character. Mr..
Egan replied that he had not given any in
terview about Dewey to any paper, but had
no hesitation In the expression OF his belief
that Dewey was the author of the untruthful
attack on him. Dewey demanded public
denial and an apology for the use Of the
word traitor" Mr.. Egan replied he had
not used the word referred to. If Deyoy
thought he could exact anything further he
could go to law. Further correspondence
was declined. Dewey responded that he
had solicited no correspondence, To decline Il
was an impertinence. He had demanded
the public contradiction of a foul SANDER.

New YORK, April 9.-John A. Kasson OF

Washington ON his way to the Samoan con-
ference at Berlin. He put up at the Bre-
voort House. The commissioners sail on the
CuDarder Umbria on Saturday. They are
William Walter Phelps of New Jersey, Geo.

Harold N. Sewall of Maine goes with them

Mr.. Kasson was unwilling to say ANYTHING
on Samoan affairs when seen last night

tion adopted in advance. In this spirit all
the members of the commission enter it.
Our aim and our determination is to reach
results that shall honor the interests of the
powers concerned without interfering with
the rights Of native independence. We want
to secure good order on the islands, and to
do justice to all. The effect of the recent

Ion on the Railroad Commission
Members Of the Present Legislature
Ineligible Until January. 1891.
The New Law to Be Observed AS Va.
canoes May Arise.

RocKLAND, April 9.-Attorney Genera
Littlefeld decides that the act amendatory o
section 1l3, chapter 81 Of the Revised Stat
utes, additional to said chapter relating t
the railroad commission cannot be construe,
to yacate the Offices. He adopts the rule o
construction that Chief Justice Fuller
speaking for the United States suprem
court announces thus: Constitutions a
well as statutes are construed to operat
prospectively, not retrospectively unless O.
the face of the instrument a contrary inter
tion is manifest beyond reasonable quet
tion." The law does not apply to the pre-
ent board does not declare the Office yacat
and does not abolish and create another. 1t
doesn't say the present board shall possess
special qualifications and In no way refes to
the present board.
By the anendatory act the Governor not
required to appoint at specified time ,om-
missiOners with special qualifications. To
vacate the Offices, the law should have read !:
shall appoint forthwith"
In answer to the inquiries Of the Governor
as to whether the members Of the legislature
of 1SS9-90 will be eligable to appointment
as railroad commissioners, the Atbrney
General decides that they will not be until
two years from the first Wednesday oiJaE-
uary, 1889. This decision is under aticle
4, part 3, section TO- of the constitution.
Chapter 313 of the public laws Of 1889 pro-
vides that compensation of the commission
ers shall be in full for all services S2,0O per
annum each, and for clerk. $1,000 pei an
mum. Under the old law the compensation
was S5 day while actually employed in
their official duties. If actually empoyed
every secular day in the year, the compnsa-
tion could not exceed s., 1,565. That the
duties to be performed under the new
law exceed those previously imposed does
not effect the increase of the emolumeni re-
ceiyed.
Constant and actual employment under
the old law for full year would result Ia an
emolument of $1,565. The commissioners
under the new law cannot devote more time
to the duties Of the office.
Answering the inquiry as to the Cover
nor duty as TO appointments under said
chapter, the Attorney General says the chap
Ter contemplates board of commissioners
to be appointed under its provisions to con-
slst OF three commissioners having separate
and distinct qualifications. The objed of
the law can be adequately accomplished only
by filling the vacancies as they occur In the
board as now constituted, appointing the
members in the order named.

Something About the Attractions for
Summer Resort.

Correspondence of the Press.1
BRIDGToN, April 9.
Being only 40 miles from Portland,
Names chief city, with which it is connect
ed both by rail and by water, with Mount
Pleasant on its western border and Long
Lake on the east, while numerous small
lakes, streams and beautiful hills lie be-
tween. no outlook offers more to the eye of
the tourist than Bridgton and vicinity, and
to him who is more than simply a tourist,
yis, che sejanrnar- or, in cQmmoner terms,
the boarder, this region offers advantages
beyond the pleasure OF mere travel to get
here, in the picturesqueness and variety of
its scenery, the pure air of its hills, its fish
ing facilities, and by no means least of all,
in its genial and large hearted Yankee poDu-
lation, yeomanry OF which any region may
well be proud.
This article is not written to advertise for
Bridgton Is already Of no mean pretensions
as summer resort, having well nigh all the
soJourners she can accommodate at present
And this brings me to another view of my
subject-Bridgton's only hindrance to excel
ling greatness as resort.
1t Is her lack of accommodation. We have
some very good places, but not enough Of
them. Amid the host Of applications re-
ceived yearly here from the denizens Of
the crowded city or other where, our people
are waking up to this fact evidently, and in
the near future will no doubt do what they
can to obviate the difficulty. In the mean
time, there would beno better opening for a
capitalist than to come to Bridgton, work
and put in his money to develop the region
and enlarge the facilities for entertaining
the city cousins and aunts," who come or
wish to come here, not only to visit, but to
pay for 1t as well. AT present we have some
very good, If not large places. We have
three hotels in town OF more than average
capacity as compared with country village
hotels, aud then there Is Ridge Cottage"
run very successfully by Mr.. w. G. Kimball
and among farmhouses may be mentioned,
those of Mr.. Ruel Dodge, Mr.. j. G. Berry,
Mr.. Henry G. Fessenden and numerous 9TH
ers whose names we have not at hand.
A pre-eminept feature In the c0nfguratiOn
of the surface of this region, is Mt. Pleasant.
1t Is sort of an anomaly among mountains.
inasmuch as it rises so abruptly and stands
out alone. 1t is as though all the earth used
in making the white hills in New Hamp.
shire had been carried from the coast over
this region, and the large mound represent
ing Mt. Pleasant had been accidentally
dropped on the way, and got planted some
25 miles away from the main hills, There is
fine hotel on the summit of this mountain
owned by g. b. Gibbs, ESQ, of this town
The steamer Hawthorne that plies be-
tween Sebag0 Lake and Brldgton Is also
owned by the same gentleman, and passes
over route OF rare beauty, including the
devious stream Of the ''sinuous Songo."

ACROSS THE CONTINENT.
A Chain Of Traffic Associations, In
cludlng New England Roads.

Boston, April 9.-The agreement OF the
New England railroads for the maintenance
of rail and lake rates to the West is the out
come of an organization of these roads which
will now complete the system of associations
among the railroad companies from the New
England coast to the Rocky Mountains. The
organizations in their geographical order
now are: The Board Of Presidents Of the
New England Roads; the Trunk Line AS
sociation; the Central Traffic Association,
and the Interstate Commerce Association.
Cooperating in the work Of securing har-
monious acttOn irr rOgyoot =. se.iFs and in
adjusting all disputes through the meIIiuu5
of arbitration, the different associations are
believed by railway men to give promise of
vailed in the days of uncontrolled competi-
ton. The force of the agreements entered
into will be increased by the action of the
Interstate Commerce Commissioners under
the amended law, which renders shippers
punishable along with the railway COM
panies in violation Of the Federal law.
The plan of organization of the New Eng
land roads has been signed by all the inter
ested companies except the New York, New
Haven and Hartford. President Clark could
not attend the final conference of the roads,
but there is no doubt expressed Of his will
ment has been formally approved by Presi-
dent VIM. Bliss, of the Boston and Albany I;
President Z. b. Phillips, of the Fitchburg !;
President ]. Gregory Smith, of the Central
Vermont; Traffic Manager Il. p. Vining, of
the New York and New England, and Gen.
Manager James I. Furber, of the Boston and
Maine. The agreement pledges the roads to
act jointly with the Trunk Line Association,
and with the joint committee of the trunk
lines and the Central Traffic Association on
freight and passenger questions, excepting
the coal and petroleum traffic. The head
organization is the board of presidents, and
William Bliss, of the Boston and Albany,
has been chosen chairman. A freight COM
mittee OF the traffic managers or general
freight agents and a passenger committee
OF the traffic managers or general passenger
agents OF the roads are to be appointed by
the board OF presidents to execute detail
work. The principle of differential rates is
agreed upon. 1t Is provided that ''if the
maintenance of published tariffs reduces the
amount of competitive traffic received by
any OF the parties hereto (the agreement) be-
low fair and reasonable proportion Of the
whole, such an adjustment of rates and
fares as may be just and lawful shall be
made from time to time either by mutual
agreement or by arbitration" All competi-
tive traffic covered by the agreement is to be
reported TO Commissioner Fink's office.
The agreement Is to date from April 4. Any
company may withdraw by giving thirty
days notice, but the withdrawal Of one or
more members shall not dissolve the assOcia-
tiOn except by mutual consent of the re-
maining members.
