BOSTON & MAINE AFFAIRS.
Figures from the Annual Report-Not in
the Pork Packing Business-Elevator
Charges

BOSTON, December 2.-The annual re-
port of the directors of the Boston &
Maine Railroad Company today shows
the following facts:
The gross transportation earnings
for the year ending September 80, 1892,
were $16,076, 1924; operating expenses
(66.55s per cent?, $40, 700, ,434.21; net
transportation earnings, $5,376, AIS. 40;
other income, $500, ,751.06; net income,
1906, 169. 40; surplus of net income over
fixed charges, $2,045, ,747.68; sinking fund
payments less bonds cancelled, $76,-
957.26; balance available for dividends,
81, ,96S, ,S00.42; balance in excess of all
charges and dividends, $490, 1868. AZ: re-
mains to the credit of profit and loss,
$65, ,66s. AZ.
The Boston & Maine people will soon
be at work building a new head-house
and train-shed on Causeway street next
to the Eastern station. for the use of the
passenger trains on the Maiden Melrose
division. The Haymarket square sta
ton will be given up for passenger use.
An absurd story is abroad that it is to
be converted into pork-packing estab-
lishment. The probability is that it will
be used as an express freight station.
This will lead to but few trains being
run over Causeway and Travers streets,
and all the express freight for down
east will go that way.
From this time out, the Boston g.
Maine Railroad Company will charge the
Cunard, Warren and johnson steamship
companies for all grain loaded on their
steamships from the big elevator on
Mystic wharf.
On the other hand, the Allen line
steamers, and also those of the Leland
line, can load direct from the big eleva-
tor without paying a cent for the hand
ling of the grain. This discrimination
on the face of it seems unfair to some of
the lines, but the Boston & Maine offic-
ials claim that there is no discrimination
and that the difference in rates is due
to the situation of the docks of the COM
panies.
The Fitchburg railroad permits all
steamships which are docke adjacent
to the elevator to load grain free of
charge.
The aim of the Boston &, Maine offic-
ials when it constructed its big elevator
at Mystic wharf, was to capture por-
ton of the immense traffic in grain
which has been monopolized by the
Fitchburg, and they have succeeded.

THE CASE OF THE LOBSTER.
Commissioner Gould's Report on Names
Fishery Interests.

AUGUSTA, December DIR. E. w.
Gould, commissioner of fisheries, in his
annual report, urges the need of a patrol
steamer to make the enforcement of the
laws effective He says that without
such boat the wardens have great diff
culty in catching the crafty poachers.
Such steamer would also be useful in
making valuable investigations into the
habits of Maine fish. Mr.. Gould calls at
tention to the fact thatthe people are be-
ginning to appreciate the work of the
Wardens and no longer regard them as
enemies of the fishermen. The commits
sioner recommends the establishment of
an experimental and hatching station in
connection with the work OF his depart
ment. Into the lobster fisheries the COM
missioner has made special investiga-
ton. which has demonstrated certain
facts. The conclusion is unanimous that
the lobster is rapidly being exterminated
along the coast of Maine. Many of the
fisherm en- go SO far as to assert that un-
less. measures are at once taken to pre-
vent such wanton waste, it will speedily
happen that none of these delicious
crustaceans will remain to be taken by
anyone. The main causes of the dimin-
ution are six: Increased demand, lille
gal sale of Holsters of less than the pre-
scribed length, illegal canning of lob
sters. picking Holsters, killing spawn of
collusion with transportation
companies. Regarding the increase in
demand for Holsters, the commissioner
cites as causes: Widening of the mar
kets by reason of the improved transpor-
tation facilities, influx ofsea shore visit
ors during the summer months. Lob
sters boiled in ntheshell are being shipped
in refrigerator cars to all business cen
tres as far west as ST. Louis and Chicago,
while advantage is taken of the rapid
through freight system to ship them
alive on ice to the great eastern cities.
The commissionerin in his report devotes
considerable space to absorption of the
many devices employed by the fisher
men, transportation companies and 9th
crs in eyading the laws relating to short
Holsters. ssSome idea Of this CON
traband shipment may be gained
from the fact that there is a record at
this office of nearly $4,000 Holsters less
than the prescribed length detected in
the last two years in transit in the city
of Portland and vicinity Among other
devices for the shipment of short lob
sters he mentions one comparatively new,
the shipment of ssraws.'' BY a raw is
meant the tail and claws of short lob
sters torn off while the lobster is alive.
This is usually done on board the
srDacks, the raws being packed in ice for
shipment.

Evidence Against Miss Borden was
Overwhelming-The Tone of Fall
River Comment Hostile to the Ac-
cused.
FALL RIVER, December 2-The find
ing of true bill against Lizzie A. Bor-
den by the grand jury is the general top
ic of conversation in Fall River tonight.
Comments and opinions are advanced
freely by all with the exception of those
directly interested in the case and they
are all very reticent. The Fall River
people as a whole expected an indict-
ment. They were directly acquainted
with all the facts leading up from the
tragedy to the preliminary hearing and
were morally certain that the jury would
be sure to find an Indictment. From the
wording of the Indictment as published
today it would lead to the inference tina t
the implement used in inflicting the
wounds upon the murdered couple had
not yet been unearthed 1t
has been learned on authority
direct from the jury room that an axe or
hatchet was brought in as evidence and
had considerable weight in the decision
of the jury. 1t is also known from the
same source that the evidence introduced
and that there was no other course for
the grand jury to pursue than. to bring
in an Indictment.
EIThe party against whom the second
Indictment has been brought is yet Sc
cret, but it is generally understood to be
Henry G. Trickey, the Boston Globe re-
porter. The charge said to have been
preferred against him is that of tamper-
lug with government witnesses, and it is
alleged that he approached both Bridget
Sullivan and Detective McHenry and Of
fered them inducements to leave for
parts unknown.
Lawyer Jennings, when interviewed
tonight, said that he had nothing for
publication and his remarks were sub
stantially as already given. Rev. W. w.
Jubb of the Central Congregational
church, whose self imposed duty it was
to wait upon Miss Borden and inform
her of the result of the grand jury's ac-
tion, reports that the prisoner received
the intelligence, retaining her stolid, ln-
ruffled demeanor, betraying neither sur
prise nor emotion, and saying nothing.
ASqSlUl os Luo lAeCiits0uCO lOdouOu Ilii
River that an Indictment had been found
Emma Borden left for Taunton and was
closeted for some time in the cell with
Lizzie. She returned home tonight.
Marshal Hilliard was not furnishing
much news, and is desirous of enjoying
well-earned rest. The Indictment has
served to vindicate him and his officers
against a great amount of abuse heaped
upon his department by friends of the
prisoner, who claimed that the circum-
stances Of the case did not warrant the
extreme measures employed by them.
They were the ones who firmly believed
that the grand jury would not return a
bill against Lizzie. 1t is surmised now
that the line.of defence will be taken up
upon the insanity theory. In the inte-
rim existing between now and the trial,
people will have an opportunity to pom
der and reflect upon all the incidents
connected with the case, and prepare
themselves for the startling revelations
to be made at the trial.

BOURBONS DEMAND THE KEEPING

Northern and Western Democrats Divided
on the Ouestion-Democratic Leaders
Not Anxious to Begin the Assault on
the Tariff-They Would Now Like to
Place the Responsibility on the Senate
Other Washington News.
WASHINGTON, December 2.-Talks
with number of the Democratic repre-
sentatiyes regarding the state bank tax
plank in the Democratic platform, shows
that great difference of opinion exists
on this question. Many Democrats from
the East and West are opposed to doing
anything with reference to state banks,
while many representatives from the
South, obeying the demands of their
constituents for a larger volume of cur
rency, insist that the plank shall be
given practical effect.
1t is probable there will be confer
ence Of the Democratic members of the
ways and means committee soon after
Congress reassembles, to determine
whether the committee shall take up
any more separate tariff bills or
wait until the new ways and means COM
mittee of the 53rd Congress begins a
general revision of the tariff. There are
several separate tariff bills now on the
House calendar and the majority of the
ways and means committee during the
last session held number of fruitless
conferences to decide whether or not it
should report the free lumber, salt, iron
ore and refined sugar bills. Chairman
Springer, of the committee, said today
that he had not seen any of his colleagues
+ha nd nt1l6
not now say what the committees
policy would be for the remainder of the
session. Unless the Senate shows some
disposition to notice the free wool, free
binding twine and free bagging bills
passed by the House months ago, the in
dications are that the ways and means
committee in the House will rest on it's
oars and await the time when the Demo-
cratic party gains control of affairs.

DE LEssEPs's BUBBLE.
Investigating the Part of the Clergy and
Press in Its Imitation.

LONDON, December 2.--The Paris cor
respondent of the Morning Post writes:
NJ Brisson hopes to reveal the part the
clergy took in assisting Count de Les
seps to float the Panama Canal bonds.
M. de Lesseps and family were conspic
uous for their regular attendance at high
mass at the Church of the Madelaine al
the time that the bubble was being blown.
Each christening in his family also be-
came a public event. The speculation in
Panama options went on at the Vatican,
and the clergy got heavy commissions
for advising the members of their hocks
to invest in Panama bonds. The priestly
run on the Panama canal was so great
that just prior to the collapse special
office and staff were about to be estab-
lished to receive them. Count De Les
seps sent some nuns in the most sensa-
tional way to the hospital at the scene of
the canal works. He made an appeal
one night through a religious paper to
the devotion and zeal of the Daughters
of st. Vincent de Paul, and 36 of them
volunteered to go to the Isthmus the
next day. The eyes of the Catholic
world were riveted npon the poor hero
ines, who were forgotten until another
batch was wanted to replace the ravages
of the yellow fever.
The correspondent of the Post gives
list of the sums of money paid to news
papers and newspaper directors by the
Panama Canal Company. The list was
prepared by M. Rossignol, formerly au-t
ditor in bankruptcy, who gave some dam
aging testimony before the committee of
inquiry on Wednesday. The list is as
follows:
Petit Journal 100000 francs
Teegraphe, 10000 francs.
M. Jezienski, director of the Telegraphe,
120, 600 francs.
LIE Matin, $4,000 francs.
Gaulois 700 francs.
Meyer director of the Gaulois, 10000 francs.
Radical, 100, 900 francs.
Senator Magnier, director of L'Evenement,
so, 600 francs.
M Patniot director of the journal des De-
bats. 10000 francs.
The total named is $4,000 francs, about
$165,000.

Hundred Passengers-Heretofore She
New York But the Greyhound Failed to
Report Her This Time-She is Believed
To Be Disablel.
NEW YORK, December 2.-The officers
of the steamer Britannia which arrived
here today from Liverpool report that
on their passage over nothing was seen
of the steamship Spree.
The big steamship Spree, having on
board 4e6 passengers and a crew of 250
men, was fifty hours overdue at mid
night, and grave fears are felt for her
safety both at the Office of the Nord
Deutscher Lloyd Company and on the
floor Of the Maritime Exchange, where
the sole topic of conversation to-
day among shipping men was
the non-arrival of the steams-
ship. The Inman liner City of New
York, which reached this port on We'd
having passed the Spree, although both
of New York from Liverpool and the
Spree from Southampton.
Many people called at the Barge office
last night anxiously inquiring for the
vessel. and SO regular have been her pre-.
vious trips that they are greatly worried
aad fear that she has met with some Sc
rious accident
A singular coincidence in connection
with the steamships Spree and City of
New York is that for the past six month S
their sailing dates have occurred on the
same day, and in no case has the Spree
ever been more than eight hours later
than the City of New York in reaching
port. Another fact, strange as it may
appear, is that the Spree was sighted on
each of her former voyages by the City
of New York, which being twin screw
steamship is able to make much better
time than the single screw German YES
sci, and always reported her on arriving
here.
On the arrival of the City of New York
last Wednesday, the Nord Deutscher
Lloyd people on examining her log dis
covered that the Spree had not been sig
nailed by her as usual. Immediately a
messenger was sent to the@steamship to
ask Captain Arthur Lewissjf he had not
seen the vessel. His repH was that he
had not.
At the office OF the North German line,
one of the officials stated that the steam
ship must be disabled. If such is the
case, she will have to proceed under sail
or wait for some vessel to come along
and tow her, if her machinists cannot re-
pair any damage that may have occurred.
The Spree is commanded by Captain
Willigerod, veteran. His vessel is a
first-class, steel, single screw passenger
steamship, of 6,963 tons gross. She was
built in 1890 by the Vulcan Shipbuilding
Company of Stettin. She is 450 feet
long, 1906 feet beam, 81 feet deep, and
has engines capable of developing 13, 1000
horse power. General O. O.. Howard is
one of several well known men who are
on board.

PARIS, December 2.-M. Brisson, who
was selected by President Carnot to form
a new ministry, has abandoned the un-
dertaking, and the political situation is
more muddled than ever. 5 M. Brisson,
in explaining his failure, says he desired
to form cabinet that would cooperate
with all the factions, but the refusal of
M. Perieire to enter the combination
and the declination of NJ. Bourgeois to
accept the portfolio of the interior forced
him to abandon his task.
