THE VERMONT NEWS.
Biennial Report of the Railroad Com
misSiOners.

A General Improvement In the Road as
WhOle---Accidents--- ROads---
Recommendations.
Samuel E. Pingree of Hartford, Amory
Dawson of Craftsbury, and Leon G. Bag
ley of Rutland, railroad commissioners of
Vermont, have submitted their biennial re-
port covering the two years beginning June
30, 1890, and ending June 30, 1902. A gen.
eral improvement is noted in the roads of the
state as whole, in the matter of road
beds, bridges, rolling stock, etc, though
there is still abundant opportunity for
further safety and despatch in the railway
service.
During the biennial period 81 persons
were killed by railroad accidents in the
state, and rs were injured, but not fatally.
No passengers were killed, but AZ were in
jured; 20 employees were killed and 80 in
jured and in ''all other classes" 33 were
killed and II injured.
The Deerfed Valley railroad, with -
miles of main track and one mile of sid
ing, is the longest section of new road CON
structed; although over 13 miles of main
line and sidings were laid by the Coos Val
ley railroad, operated by the Main Central,
from Brunswick to Guildhall. The Bris-
WI ldllIOdu, ONtl SIN MITES lOuS, HAS Deen
built.
AS whole there has been marked i'm
provement in the general physical condi-
ton of most of the railroads of the state.
and especially is this true of the roads of
the largest business. The board has found
cases where the financial poverty of the
companies is such that they are absolutely
wanting in the pecuniary ability to make
the OUTLAWS upon their road-bed, bridges,
rolling stock and other equipment requi-
site to raise them to a first-class or SEEM
ingly necessary condition, and in some
cases the enforcement of recommends
ton adequate to remove the public peril,
would impoverish and probably bankrupt
such roads.
In the winter of 1SS9-90 most of the
railroad companies of the state experiment
ed with the various systems of locomotive
steam heating, preparatory to adopting
what seemed the most feasible, since which
time there has been good progress this line.
The board recommends that law be en-
acted compelling railroad companies to
cause tell-tale danger warnings to be plac-
ed at approaching points $50 feet distant
from all overhead bridges of less than 20
feet clear height from the tops of the rails,
to warn trainmen of their approach to said
bridges. The board recommends the ell
actment of law requiring all passenger
and mixed trains to be supplied with bell
cord, connecting all the passenger coaches
with the locomotive.

BaussELs, August 12.--Dispatohes from
Zanzibar bring news of thrilling character.
The Arab insurrectlon under Roumaliza has
spread from Tsngapyiki TO Stanley Falls,
and what was merely local demonstration
has Developed into general uprising OF the
Arabs of Central Africa against white domi-
nation. The Arabs have grown desperate
owing 10 the evident determination OF the
whites 10 suppress the slave trade by, whlch
the Arabs have accumulated their wealth and
established their power. It's also understood
that Rachid. the nephew of Tippoo lio, at
STANLEY Falls has unfurlsd the standard OF
rebellion snd called upon his own followers
and other chiefs, both native and ARAB, 10
ioiu against the white men and assist IN
restoring Arab supremacy. A conflict has
taken place and It is known for certainty
that three whites and probably many more
were killed. and that the Arabs, under
Racbid are now in full control OF the Congo
at Stanley Falls.
The greatest anxiety is felt for the safety
of the expeditions under Captain jacques and
CAPTAIN Jouoert. which were sent out 10
suppress the slave trade. IL ls said that the
insurqent Arabs have sworn 10 exterminate
hoth III these expeditions as a lesson 10 the
whites not 10 interfere with tho tratfc. The
news from the seat Of lnsurrection is OF the
most meagre kind. but II is sufficient 10
cause the grayest anxiety TO DO felt not only
for the anti-slayery expeditions mentioned.
but also for the Catholic and Protestant
missions and the Hodister commercial eK-
pedition to the Lomami river as well as Tor
