RAILROAD MATTERS.
BOSTON & MAINE.


General Manager Furber, of the Boston &
Maine, explains the 'rights" as follows:
'The Boston & Maine books closed Satur-
day night, May 24th, for the adjustment of
the Boston S Maine-Eastern consolidation,
Under the terms Of the consolidation, 6.s
shares Of the present Boston & Maine stock
get one extra share Of new stock for nothing.
The fractions will be adjusted by the issue
OF scrip, and will be practically a stock dlyi-
dend Of 1868 shares Of new Boston & Maine
stock on every share Of old. There will be
no transfer of present stock, aad the new
shares will be ready for dclivArv at the Office
OF the American Loan Il Trust Company,
June 10th. He also figures that the new
Boston Il Maine stock win be worth at least
$500, II paying s per cent dividends, and
from S240 to $3.50 on a 10 per cent basis.
This is all the 'rights" the Boston Il
Maine stockholders will get. There has
been no vote Of stockholders to increase the
capital stock of the combined roads, and
there has been no meeting called to take
such a vote. The directors will not issue un-
authorized stock. These are the rights Of
the matter"
Mr.. Furber also said that there was no
foundation whatever for the report that the
office of Traffic Manager Of the Boston 4
Maine would be created and Mr.. Flanders
promoted to that position. The matter mad
never been spoken Of at any Of the direct
ors' meetings, and Mr.. Furber did not be-
lieve it ever would. He also said that the
inspection Of the York Beach road had no
significance The citizens Of Ogunquit
wanted the Boston & Maine to assist In ex-
tending the road to their town. A commit
| tee of Boston & Maine directors was ap-
| pointed to investigate the matter. but they
| had not yet made any report. The new
route over the Central Massachusetts, is an
experiment, and Mr.. Furber says he cannot
begin to predict how profitable it will be.
| Trains begin running Monday to Harrisburg,
Pa.
The Boston Journal says the new Boston
q Maine stock will pay 10 per cent divi-
dends On that basis it is worth fully s235
per share, and with rights, which must as
suredly come, at least $3.50.
Surveys of the new proposed spur Of the
Maine railroad from the Fells station through
the Fells district, aud sklrting Spot Pond to
Stoneham, have been tcompleted, and the
railroad viii probably soon be begun.

A WONDERFUL STORY
YET TRUE,
YET TRUE,

MIR. JOHN f. WILLIAMS resides at No. 81
Beach street, Portland, and his little home has
been scene of suffering almost without parallel
For IL years his daughter Miss Mary G. Williams
has been terrible sufferer with Fever Sore on
her leg, and for six months has, been unable to
take single step. Under date of May 81, Mr.
Williams says
1.-THE wonderful work DANA's SARsAPARILLA
has done for my daughter is almost past belief.
Her sufferings had been so intense as to amount
to actual torment day and night. Ihave employed
physicians and tried and tried to get even relief,
but could not. / have bought almost II not
quite enough Sarsaparlla for her to swim In, yet
she grew worse and worse; well, come to the
house and ask Mary" We went and Mary's face
became almost radiant with joy as she said !:
"Why, 1 could not walk step when commenced
taking DANA'S SARSAPARILLA, and the pain was
awful;" and the mere remembrance made her
shudder. 81 am now taking my second bottle,
and have no pain at all. The sore Is healing
rapidly, and Ican s0alk arou,.dn "Publi,h any
the tears stood in his eyes. s'It is wonderful"
said the mother, and we think SO too.

much in favor of peace as anybody. The
proposition from nation already disarmed
TO Great Britain to disarm was simply ludi-
crous. The policy of the United
States States had been from. from the be-
Of industry and peace. There was no finer
chapter In all history illustrative of that
policy than the great Geneva arbitration.
Nor did he Mr.. Hawley] conceive that he
was in any way departing from the teaching
prepared against violence and gross injustice.
There was evidently some time in the his
tory of the world when, in very shame and
for the sake of manhood. decency, patriot
ism, God and country. a people must fight.

The Glory of War.

Those were the days that lifted people out
OF their sensuality, out of their worship of
the almighty dollar. Was everybody sure
that there was no danger that the Nicaragua
Canal Company would fail and the United
States government might have to take up the
work and complete it? But the government
could not do so now. A few ships stationed
at either end of the line would prevent it.
Mr.. bale appealed to the Senate to vote.
The only fault to be found with the bill, he

should come that, suddenly out of clear
sky, unforeseen by human eye the country
was involved in war, there would be
needed not gunboats but armored war
alone that was to be feared, but a blockade
along the coast, destroying the business of
the country. The men who opposed the
measure to put the nation in a condition to
assert itself and be able to break up such a
ships, would then call upon the rocks and
mountains to hide them from the indigna-
ton of the American people. He did not
know there would be war, but he noticed the
Ottawa the Other, day giving the views Of
Senator Mcdonald as to Canadian sailors in
Behring sea defending their property from
American cutters. He noticed newspaper
item that the British Admiralty had, within
the last few days sent four additional ships
to Halifax. A year ago he visited the north
ern extremity of Puget sound and the capital
of British Columbia. He visited the fortifica-
tions at Eskimo, and across the bay he saw
two formidable ships of war; Those two
ships, in the presence Of a conflict, such as
was indicated by Senator Mcdonald as oc-
curing in Behring sea, could sweep the
coast of the Pacific from Puget
sound to Lower California. and no
man could say them nay: He
had realized then the force of what British
officer said, that Eskimo held pistol at the
head of San Francisco, and every port on
the Pacific coast. 1t was to avoid that state
of things that the committee on appropria-
tions had reported this bill. There were
some British ships that today could over
Mr.. Blair-"I deny that assertion"
Mr.. Hale-"We have no fighting ships.
We have cruisers, and we are at work on

from our own ports to Halifax, to Ber-
muda, to the Caribbean Sea. is floating
fortifcation. She costs less than local for
tification and can be transported to the
scene of danger. If New York is menaced,
she is there. If Charleston is threatened,
she is there, and that is the great merit of
this system. A war ship combines more
features of usefulness than any and all
ships together.
Mr.. Blair,s amendment was rejected. A
vote was then taken on Mr.. CockrelPs
amendment to strike out the provision for
three battle ships and It was not agreed to

MR.. KALUA VS.. THE ADVERTISER"

In last nights Bulletin
the Hon. J. w. kalua has seen
fit to make some very severe COM
ments on the ADVERTISER, as we'll
as to animadvert with great harsh
ness upon the character of the
present editor. With Mr.. Kalua's
own merits or dement's we have
here nothing to do. They present,
it may we'll be, an inviting field for
comment, but into this field it is
no part of our present purpose to
enter. Our single wish is to re-
move. if we can, profound misap-
prehension as to the true meaning
of our late editorial utterances.
Mr.. Kalua finds that the ADvER-
TIsER attempts to ridicule the late
delegation to the King--that it
attacks the natives for peacefully
petitioning, that it is "native hat
ing" newspaper.
We have searched our article in
vain for any expressions which
could warrant these extraordinary
conclusions, and we Indignantly
repudiate them. We said of the
procession that it was somewhat
absurd" and passed on. To our
mind there has always been some
thing absurd in pompoas ceremo-
NAL. In the present case, this is
all we have said or implied. Most
emphatically we have never ridi-
culed Hawaiians for peacefully Pc
titionlng for redress of grievances,
and our article Will not bear that
construction.
There is just as little basis for
Mr.. Kalua's extravagant character
ization of the ADVERTISER as a
"native hating" paper. 1t is not
such, and we defy the honorable
gentleman to find a single expires
sion In our columns to warrant that
charge. Mr.. Kalua's letter, though
severe IN It's terms, seems to have
been written with temper, but if he
is a habitual reader of the ADvER-
User he must know himself that
what he says is false.
Mr.. Kalua seems to think that
the editor of the ADVERTISER is "a
