MR.. BoUTELLE's SPEECH.
The Tilt in the House Which the Maine
Member Made Memorable.

The Tilt in the House Which the Maine
Member Made Memorable.
WASHINGTON, January Is. - The
House took up today the report of the
committee on accounts assigning clerks
to the various House committees and
discussion ensued as to whether there
was not extravaganza in the assignments.
Mr.. Cummings said the House had
made appropriations for clerks to Sena-
tors 1t now proposed to cut down the
number of its own committee CLERKS.
The House had, in years gone by, tried
to institute economy by repeating the
franking privilege. The result was that
every man in the House today was pay
ing out of his own pocket from so cents
to 81 day for postage for the business
of his constituents.
MI. Boutelle of Maine began an anus

ESnecial to the Press.l

BANGOR, January 13.-Before the
building of the Canadian Pacific Railway
across the state of Maine the American
Express Company monopolized all the
express business in the eastern section
of this country. AT the completion of
the Canadian Pacific, in very curt note
to the American Express Company, they
were told to get off. Since that time the
American Express Company has been
unable to do any business along the Ca
madam line except at q great loss, being
obliged to transport their freight at many
points by teams. They have seen no way
to circumvent the Dominion express un-
til the proposed building of the Bangor
& Aroostook road. The building of this
road, while it opens up vast extent of
territory extending 210 miles into great
lumber and farming country and giving
the great and rich county of Aroostook
direct outlet to the outside" will also
give the American Express a chance to
do businesses in a territory which they
have been obliged practically to aban-
don, and in which the Dominion Express
Company has been doing a large and

the opportunity by charging the peo-
pie a good round sum.
The American Express Company has
now subscribed 100000 to the preferred
stock of the Bangor & Aroostook rail-
road, making the total subscriptions in
round numbers 81, ,0O0, 600, which ensures
the building of the road. This will en-
able the American Express Company to
recover their old business, in addition to
a large amount of new which they will
secure. The building of the Bangor &
Aroostook will greatly injure the busi-
ness of the New Brunswick railway, one
of the branches of the Canadian Pacific
line. The new road will tap the rich
country from which the New Brunswick
has been getting the larger part of its
freight and passengers. Owing to inn
portant legislation obtained last winter,
such as exempting the bonds from taxa
which prevents other and competing
lines being built, it will be at once seen
that the American Express has shown
remarkable judgmentin outwitting the
astute Dominion Express Company.
