the advantage of tho weight of the engine.
The passenger coaches do not differ mate

but are constructed SO that passengers may

The most potent of all the instruments
which have changed the sentiments pre-
Nalllng on Independence Day Is the
great civil war. The memories of that
tremendous cOnvulsiOn has almost hid
den the revolution from view The
Northern Americans then learned that
rebellion is a painful shock to those
against whom the revolt is made, and
they could even feel some sympathy for
poor pig-headed George the Third in a
similar predicament The most pleas
ing feature, however, Of recent celebra-
lions is that the animOsities which RACED
between 1861 and 1865 have now sunk
into oblivion. Thousands of men who
fve-and-twenty years ago fought against
each other in Federal blue or COnfeder-
ate gray met the other day on the field
OF Gettysburg to fraternize and erect
monuments to their honOred dead. Why
should not Frenchmen and Germans be
equally sensible and hold a similar
friendly greeting at Gravelotte?-Lon-

Cheap Money In EnpIand.

NEW YoRK. July 4-The Post says the re-
ductlons in the Bank of England rates have
been practically forced upon the directors.
In the London money market the conditions
are similar to those prevailing here. There
IS By no means an actual glut of money, but
there IS absolutely no demand for speculative
purposes This has fixed open market rates
for call loans below per cent, and recently,
even three months bills have been freely dis
counted at Is per cent or less. To maintain
a minimum bank rate at twice this figure,
would merely give imaginary protection to
London at the actual expense of the country
banks which are now beginning their busy
season, and which usually follows the money
rates of the London depository. In other
words the directors of the Bank of England
have learned that there are elements in the
situation which must be considered other
than frightening London bankers with their
foreign entanPlemenst.

epochs in the life of European nations

of the French Republic But the states

Renorts Unfoundad-

BAR HARBOR, NE, July 4.-'Che wild sto-
ries about Mr.. Blaine's health sent out from
obscure sources are officially denied. The
reports are entire fabrications, without a
shadow of truth. Mr.. Blaine went driving
twice that day, and instead OF lying on his
bed suffering relapse was out in the open
AIR greatly enjoying the bracing sea breeze.
He rode about town next morning and in
the afternoon took long drive on the Cor
niche road and rode twelve or fifteen miles
altogether. Mrs. Blaine and one of the Cop
pinger children, as usual, accompanied him.
At one time during the ride Mr. Blaine
alighted from the carriage and walked a
short distance. Mr.. Blaine's physician says
proved since coming to Bar Harbor, although.
as in all cases, he has occasionally spells of
depression, but has had no relapse. His
mental strength is unimpaired. He says his
improvement is of course slow.
