 7 s'It is position of very serious import ance, and we are acting judges in the matter. am waiting to see the answer of Lord Salisbury to the presi- dents dispatch, and I do not think any action will be taken until that answer has been received. Personally, be- lieve in arbitration, but if the fisheries are open to all the world the coming season the chances are that there will be nothing left to arbitrate. The question of retalia- ton by withdrawing the bonded privilege is one that will come up later, but it is no time now to discuss it."
 Said Senator Platt: q think the admin istration was wise in making the treaty and the treaty ought to be ratified. Then we ought to take care of the seals alone if nobody else will help us."

TO VISIT SPRINGFIELD.

The Committee on Railroads and
 Bridges 10 Inspect the Electric sys-
 tenn In That City Prior to Rendering
 a Decision in the New Haven and
 West Haven Horse Railroad Conn
 pany's Petition.
 The committee on railroads and bridges met last evening to consider the petition of the New Haven and West Haven Horse Railroad company for permission to use the overhead trolley system of electricity for car propulsion, and after a session of two hours and half duration decided to visit the city of Springfield, Mass, next Friday and examine the system now in that city before rendering any decision. Among those present were: President Kel- sey and Superintendent Ward of the com pany, Winthrop G. Bushnell, representing the Edison system of electric propulsion, s. Harrison Wagner, E. H. Smith and L. H. Harrison of Howard avenue and T. c. Hollis of West Haven.
 Mir. Bushnell stated that the current used was 800 volts and the shock therefrom was absolutely harmless to life and that he himself had often undergone the shock with no uncomfortable results.
 President Kelsey stated that the running time between this city and West Haven would be reduced fifteen minutes by the use of the electric system, and the other residents of that section favored the use of the system.
 A letter was read from Henry T. Blake of the park commission asking that the road compensate the city for the franchise by turning over to it 5 per cent. of the gross receipts. A letter was also read from Professor Daniel C. Eaton calling the attention of the committee to the great danger from overhead uncovered wires.
 President Kelsey in reply stated that the proposition of H. T. Blake he consid- cred little less than highway robbery, and he invited the committee to go with him to Springfield and inspect the workings of the road there.
 The committee then went into executive session and voted to accept the invitation of President Kelsey before rendering any decision.
