Victory for the Illinois Central.


Pursuant to q mandate of the Supreme
Court. the Illinois Central has been put in
possession of the freight-house and grounds
heretofore occupied by the Baltimore d
Ohio on the lake front at Chicago. This
ends litigation that was begun number
of years ago. when the CARROTS were in
control of the Baltimore e. Ohio, and which
has been prolonged by successive appeals
by the latter company. The case was de-
cided In the Illinois Centraps favor
by the Circuit Court, and after
ward by the Appellate Court. and
these decisions are now sustained by the
Supreme Court, which has had the matter
under advisemeat for year. The quarrel
that existed between the two companies
when the litigation commenced was ended
long ago. The frIendliest relations exist
between President Fish and the present
management Of the Baltimore IL Ohio, and
the result of the suit is not likely to cause
any friction. For the present, at least, the
Illinois Central will handle the Chicago
business OF the Baltimore 81 Ohio in the
same manner that 1T now handles the bust
ness of the Big Four. 1t is believed. how
ever, that the Baltimore 81 Ohio will Sc
cure other terminals, and that its passen-
ger trains will soon be running into the
Wisconsin Central depot.

An illustration has Just been given of what
superb opportunities Maine affords for ad
venturous expeditions through its forests.
Two young New Workers, named Underhill
and Boocock have arrived in Bangor after
canoe journey from Moosehead Lake to the
bay Of fundy. They left Kineo on the after.
uoon of August 10 and arrived in the harbor
OF ST. John In "a days, IA of which were con-
sumed In actual travel. The distance is
about 500 miles, almost entirely by water,
there being only four portages, the longest
not over three miles. The route was from
Moosehead lake into the Penobscot river,
thence to Chesuncook lake through the Um-
bazukis stream and lake, Chamberlain lake.
into Eagle, Churchill, Long and Round lakes
to the Allegash river and down the ALLIE
cash to the st. John. entering it at point
81 miles from its mouth. The country
passed through is one of beautiful scenery
and abundant game. From Kineo to Fort
Kent, on the ST. John river, it is mostly a
region of dense forests. The st. John river
is well settled, and remarkable for beautiful
rural scenery. Grand Falls, on the Maine
line In Northern Aroostook, Is one of the
nnest cataracts 10 America. The young men
from New York have merely attracted at
tention anew to this beautiful route for an
outing Thirty or forty years ago Henry d.
Thoreau went from Moosehead to the st.
John river, and wrote about his trip one of
his most entertaining and instructive of his
works on the Maine woods. Lumbermen
and hunters, especially Indians and French
Canadians, are passing continually from St.
John to Kennebec and Penobscot waters by
this forest highway. but they are not a
class OF men so likely to herald abroad the
beauties of Maine as Henry D. Thoreau or
the young New York tourists.

Naval Abilities of England and
Russia.

While the first reports Of the seizure of the
island OF Mytilene by the English are dis
credited by the later advices, they serve to
show what England might do at any mo-
ment in order to meet the designs of
Russia. With an English fleet at Myt
ilene handled with promptness Russia
could not surprise Constantinople. Move as
rapidly as they might, the Russians would
probably find the English on the ground
ahead Of them. Russia is no match for Eng
land in those waters. There are but two
ways in which Russia may get tc CONSTANT
nople. One would be from the Baltic around
through the Mediterranean. the other from
the neighboring Black Sea. The first way is
hardly practicable, since the Mediterranean
is almost an English Lake. Gibraltar. at
its very entrance, is England's. Malta, a
midway coaling station, is an English fortress
Further east Cyprus is also another English
fortress. Russia has no great naval
strength In the Black Sea- Her
feet there was destroyed utterly In the
Crimean war. and the Treaty of Paris, made
after that war, was framed to prevent the
creation OF another. But Of late years that
treaty has been disregarded, and Russia has
been building Black Sea feet Five years
ago three large iron-clads, the first really
GOOD vessels, were launched in the presence
of the Gar, and with much lurid oratory
about the revival of the naval prestige de-
stroyed by the Crimean war. Since then
Russia has been building ether iron clads,
but 1t Is doubtful If she has half dozen first
class iron clads In the Black Sea now. OF
transport steamers she has large supply,
there being upwards of hundred passenger
and freight steamers belonging to the Rus

The performances Of some of the judges
