I have before expressed my concurrence In
the recommendation of the Attorney GeneraI
that degrees of murder should be recorniz+d
in the Federal statutes, as they are believe
in all the States. These grades are founded on
correct distinctions in crimes. The recogni-
ton OF that would enable the courts to eXer-
else some discretion in appOrtioning punish

CANADIAN RAILWAYS.


1t is hardly too much to say that the Cana
dian Pacific and other railway lines which
parallel our northern boundary are sustained
by commerce having either its origin or the
originators or both in the United States The
Canadian railways compete with those of the
United States for our traffic and without the
restraint of our Interstate Commerce Act.
Their cars pass almost without mention in
and out of our territory. The Canadian Pa
Cific Railway brought into the United States
from China and Japan via British ColuIn bia
during the year ended June 80, 1S92 23-
239, ,6S9 pounds of freight, and it carried
from the United States 10 be shipped to China
and Japan via British Columbia, "a, ,063, "a 8
pounds OF freight. There were also shipped
from the United states over this road from
Eastern points of the United States Govern
ment Pacific ports during the same year
1912, ,013 po Inds of freight, and there were
received over this road at the United States
Eastern ports from ports on the Pacific Coast
1885, 81 pounds or freight.
Joseph Nimmo, Jr., former Chief of the
Bureau of Statistics, when before the Senate
Select Committee on Relations with Canada
April 26, 1890, said that the value of goods
thus trans ported between different points IN
the United States across Canadian territory
probably amounts 10 100000, 1000 year
There is no disposition the part of the
people or Government of the United States
10 interfere in the smallest degree with the
political relations with Canada. That ques-
tion is wholly with her own people. 1t is
time for US, however, TO consider whether. if the
present state of things and trend of things is
10 continue, our iDterchanges upon lines of
land transportation should not be put upon
different basis, and our entire independence
of Canadian canals and Of the st. Lawrence
as an outlet TO the sea be secured by the con-
strUctiOn of an American canal around the
falls of Niagara and the opening of ship COM
municati0n between the great lakes and one
of our own sea pOrts. We should not hesitate
TO avail ourselves OF our great natural trade
advantages. We should withdraw the sup
port which is given to the railroads and
steamship lines of Canada by a traffic that
properly belongs to us, and no longer furnish
the earnings which tighten the otherwise
crushing weight of the enormous public sub

Later Details.

Ths loss Of life AMI destruction Of prop
erty in Oil Creek Valley, Penn, were far
greater than was stated in the first reports.
At Oil City sixty-seven bodies were re-.
covered in one day, AMI it was believed that
not less than $50 persons perished by Hood
and fire.
At Tltusville 6fty-avs bodies were found
in the ruins, and there was every reason to
believe that many were washed away and
will be recovered when the water recedes.
The latest estimate of the total loss of life
placed the number at $50.
Calls for financial help are made by both
cities, and generous response has already
been received. Several hundred thousand
dollars at least will be needed.
One-third of Titusville has been destroyed
by the combined horrors Of fire and food,
