RAILWAY MATTERS.
MAINE CENTRAL

MAINE CENTRAL.
Some months ago quite stretch of track
was run alongside the main line to the south
of Augusta, and there are already two long
sidngs, measuring over a mile in length. be-
tween Augusta and Gardiner, which could be
utilized in completing the double track. With
the summer arrangement of time nearly all
OF the trains cross at the two points namtd'
and a few minutes delay of one train neeessi-
tates the waiting OF its arrival by the second.
With the double track system the necessity
of the second delay will be greatly reduced.
Another step looking to the adoption OF this
system has been made in the purchase by
the Maine Central Company of long tract
of land running north of the Gardiner sta
tion. 1t is understood that the second track
will be laid over this land in the spring.
FAST TRAINS ON THE BOSTON & MAINE.
On the Lowell system of the Boston Il
Maine the fastest train is the Nashua ex-
press, 81, which leaves Roston at a. M,
and makes the 40 miles with one stop, in Go
minutes, or at the rate of 81 miles an hour.
Other Nashua trains make the run in from
81 to 70 minutes. On the Western
division, the best time is that OF the
Portland train, 75, between Boston and Law
renee, which leaves Boston at S.45 p m
and makes the 26 miles, without stop, ex-
cept know nothings. in At minutes. That Is
| 80 miles an hour. The fastest through Port
land train is 81. which leaves Portland al
| IL. 2.4c p. M, and is due in Boston, 1l5 mile;
away, at 435 p. m. There are about y
stops, including two know nothings. The
speed, not reckoning delays. is between q
aud 30 miles an hour; and counting stops il
| is about So miles. On the same route the
Herald newspaper train, ,4O7, runs to Portland
every Sunday morning, making eight stops

WOUNDED FOES OF WIND AND WAVE.
Ocean Steamers, Battered and
Scared, Make Port at Last.
None of Them Bring Tidings of the
Missing National Liner.
Some Features of Winter Weather
In the Great West.

New YORK, January 27.-Battered and
SCARED, her tunnels encrusted with rust and
brine, the steamer Adriatie Of the White
Star line arrived at her pier this morning az
though badly wounded.
A huge wave boarded the ship early Thurs
day morning: 1t knocked Second Officer
Cavan clear off his feet, and left him groan-
ing with pain on heap of iron chains. His
ankle was badly wrenehed. The wave passed
aft and smashed into the wheelhouse where
the ships carpenter was repairing the steer
ing gear. 1t tumbled him round in lively
style, and finally left him with a sprained
back and ankle.
The officers and crew were just congratu-
lating themselves that the wave did no seri-
GUS damage, when another H. sea, a. larger @ even even
sweeping aft Quarterfhaster Calpin and
seamen Cooking, Cluceas and Allen could
not escape it, and were nearly swept over
board. They were thrown heavily against
the iron rail, aud all were more or less badly
bruised. Hayes. another seaman, was frost
bitten.
Among otker steamships that arrived this
morning were the Falls of Inverisnail,
Capulet, Triniiad and Frontera, all bringing
tales Of fearful suffering at sea.
The Cambria, which arrived yesterday,
struck the same hurricane reported by the
Adriatic. She lost the port lifeboats. Her
afterhouse and skylghts were smashed and
considerable other damage was done to her.
Capt. kaufman was also injured in the right
leg.
The German steamer Sorrento also had
two life boats smashed.
The Sir William Armstrong, reported lost,
arrived yesterday. January 4th she en-
countered hurricane that swept away two
life boats, bulwarks, bridge, gig and cabin
deck house:
The Moravia and the Colorado also re-
ported terrible weather and slight damage.
Nothing has been seen or heard OF the
Erin by any of these vessels. At the COM
pany's Office no news had been received, and
1t looks as though there could now be no
doubt about her loss.

DENVER, Col, January 27.-The snow
blockade on the Rio Grande, between Ala

SAN Francisco. January 27.-At Truckee,
on the eastern slope Of the Sierra mountains,
the snow is 16 feet deep on the track between
that place and station five miles west OF

freezing weather, which have transformed
this into ice which will have to be chopped
out and shovelled away. Farms all over the
state are flooded, causing. great damage. The
water is from two to six feet deep.

MR. BLAtNE's DIPLOMACY:
The New ExtradItIon Treaty a Credit
to the Administration.

WASHINGTON, January 27.-Should the
Senate take favorable action on the conven-
ton with Great Britain to extend the pro-
visions of the extradition treaty of 1912,
now pending in that body, the future getier-
alton of embezzlersi and other common GRIM
iials will not, enjoy that immunity from
punishment which Is so easily obtained at
present, and which has made such farce of
outraged justice In the past. The conven-
tion, which was negotiated by Secretary
Blaine. is perfectly satisfactory to Great
Britain. 1t was sent to the Senate short
time ago by the President. together with a
request that speedy and favorable action be
taken upon it.
The extradltion clause, as it will stand
when ratified by the Senate, will be far
but the one designated IS a political crimi-
nal" In addition to the crimes already in
cluded in the treaty of 1912, the following
are agreed to:
Manslaughter.
Counterfeiting. or altering money; utteripg or
bringing into circulation counterfeit or altered
money.
Embezzlement, larceny, obtaining money, goods
or valuables by faise pretenses; receiving any
money, valuable. security or other property, know
fraudulently obtained.
tee or scor or Or eesr a
pany, made criminal by the laws of both
countries.
Perjury, or subornation of perjury.
Rape, abduction, child stealing kidnapping.
Burglary, h0use-breakiDg or shop-breaking.
Piracy, by the laws of nations.
Revolt or conspiracy to revolt. BY two or more
persons on Board ship on the high SEAS against
The authority of the master; wrongfuly sinking or
destroying vessel at sea, or attempting to do so;
assaults on board a ship on the high seas with in
tept to do greviou, bodily harm.
Grimes and offenses against the laws of both
countries for the suppression of slavery and
slave trading
Extradition is also to take place for pafticlpas
tion In any of crimes mentioned in this conven-
ton, or in the tenth article, provided such par
tcipation be punishable by the laws of both c0un-
tries.
The new treaty is meeting with great fav-
or on all sides. Secretary Blaine Is the re-
cipient OF numberless congratulations for
his latest brilliant stroke of statemanshp. 1t
is understood that when first Mr.. Blaine de-
manded that the surrender of what are
known In England as political criminals
should not be contemplated in the treaty
Sir Julian Pauncefote declined to entertain
the proposition until he had communicated
personally with the home government.

CHANDLER SAYS co SLOW.
He Does Not Believe In Big Ships OF
Doubtful Value.

WASHINGTON, January Ex-senator Chan
dler, member of the Senate naval commit
tee, today presented to the Senate the minor
ity report upon the Hale naval bill, in which
he says the time has not yet arrived for the
construction by the United States of ponder
Gus, unwieldy and costly broadside armored
vessels with which European nations are
making experiments with results Of at least
doubtful value. He says the construction
next to be authorized should be of certain
number of proper harbor or coast defense
vessels, and considerable number OF mod
crate sized cruisers and gunbOats, varying
from vessels Of 1900 and 1700s ton up to ships
of 5000 tons. The. Senator says our unpro-
tected harbors will thus be made partially
secure, and our naval officers will be able to
spend more OF their time upon the water in
stead OF being housed on shore duty. They
will become familarited With our own coast
and perhaps become sufficiently proficient
In practical seamanship to be able, whenever
the time comes, to take charge Of large ar
m0red baItleships and 90 out upon the ocean
to meet and destroy the fleets of
European, powers. There Is reason to
fear that our armored battleships
will be absolete before they are completed
The Maine and the Texas, designed within
the last three years by the best home and
foreign naval architects are SO nearly obso-
lete that the navy department today would

ready begun to do so. Mr.. Chandler says
that no evidence was submitted to the COM
mittee to show that the relative merits Of the
different kinds of armOr have yet been set
tied; that triple expansion engines mark the
limit of naval propulsion, or that built up
steel guns are perfect. The proper type of
coast defense vessels would be Of the moni-
tor lines, which are the ideal ships for the
defense Of the American coast and harbors,
although naval officers will not per-
NIT them built il they can
prevent it, as they prefer living in c0mnio-
dious and airy quarters instead Of the close
and narrow rooms which the monitors afford.
The Senator says the navy contemplated by
the majority would make the United States
equal or superior to any European naval
power and would require the enlargement of
our force of seamen from 1900 to $4,000 and
an enormous annual expenditure for repairs
and maintenance. He is not in favor of such
naval policy, Coast defences should be
first provided for. The carrying trade of
our merchant ships should be restored and
we should maintain navy supeIi n to any
nation in the Western Hemisphere and to
that of the nation owning Cuba. There we
can stop for many years. To maintain the
navy proposed by the majority, with COM
go far toward bringing the United States in
to the lamentable condition of the nations
of Central Europe, burdened with great
navieS and enormous standing armies which
are imposing burdens of debt and taxation
so grievous that before many years relief
must be accomplished, If by revolutions.

A THIRD REPRIEVE.
Efforts in Behalf OF James Palmer
Convicted of Murder.

PORTSMOUTH, n. H., January 27.-Today,
Hon. Calvin Page, counsel for James Palmer,
the convicted murderer of Henry I. White
house, filed petition in the Supreme Court,
asking for new trial. The petition declares
that Palmer is innocent, and states that
Samuel p. Eaton, foreman of the jury which
convicted Palmer, wrOngfully, and in VIOLA
tion of his duty, refused TO consider and
weigh the evidence submitted to the jury at
the trial, and formed aR opinion as to the
guilt of the prisoner before the evidence was
heard. The petition claims that at the trial,
after the court had properly viewed the
place where the alleged murder was COM
mitted, a second view was taken by the jury
without an order of the court, or the knowl-
edge of the petitioner or his counsel. 1t is
understood the whole question will be trans
ferred to the law term of the court, which
sits in Concord on the 14th of March. 1t
will be necessary for the Governor to grant
the prisoner third reprieve.

ouEEEc's LARGE FAMILIES.
Premier Mercler's Bounty Measure
Was Not a Mere Joke.

QUEBEC, January 27-What was first re-
garded as joke on the part Of Mr.. Mercier,
in connection with the proposed bounties
upon children. has passed into the domain Of
actual fact by the legislative enactment Of
an act to confer privilege upon fathers Of
families who have 12 children living the pre-
amble of which contains the following
"Whereas, it Is advisable, following the

When the House went into committee Of
the whole on the bill the speaker, amid
loud applause, called MIR. Lemieux, to
the chair, and Premier Mercler expressed
TIE hope that ths chairman. Who y ma p nselt
to take advantage Of the provisions OF the
bill.
The prime minister spoke of the bill as
government reward to the virtue OF Cana

the bill the patriaTchal figure OF II, and II
later circumstances should seem to warrant

Crook and the Anacbee

CHICAGO, January 27.-Western despatch
es charge that General Crook has been badly
deceived by the Apache Indians now quar-
tered In Alabama and Florida, who recently
told him such tales of their suffering and
want that he recommended to Washington
officials that the redskins be removed to Fort
Sill, Indian Territory. The Western people
are said to be worked up over this contem-
plated transfer of Geronimo aud his hand
ful Of followers. They imagine the Indians
will escape to their mountain fortresses aud
again terroriZe the country. Gen. Crook
said today: 'Indian Territory is Just the
place for the Apaches, and win wager any
amount they Will behave themselves there
