BUFFALO, N. Y, June 15.-The first
matter considered by the Grand Lodge, B.
P. o. Elks, this morning was the annual
report of Grand Exalted Ruler Hay. 1t was
intimated that all legal and other difficulties
connected with the separation of the Grand
Lodge from the original New York City Or
ganization were in fair way of being set
tied. It is proposed to revise the ritual
and consolidate the present two de-
grees in one. This matter is in
the hands of special committee
The Grand Exalted Ruler deprecated
senseless buffoonary in the initiation of
candidates. He denounced the organi-
cation of "clubs" in connection with the
lodges of Elks. He deprecated the custom
of some lodges of meeting on Sunday. This
sentiment met with very general approval.
The suggestion to maintain the B. P. o.
Elks as special American institution was
received with favor, as was the reconl-
mendation to reduce the per capita tax.
The election of officers resulted as follows:
Grand Ruler, E. W. Hay, Washington;
Grand Esteemed Leading Knight, Peter

NEW YORK. June 15.-Is the great Canadian
Pacific Railway seeking an American term
mus? There has been no formal announce
ment of the fact rs yet, but well informed
men declare that the boundaries of the
Dominion have become too restricted for
the vast corporation, and that preparations
are now being made to run its rails through
United States territory to this city. Less
than three months ago the Hudson River
Railroad and Terminal Company was Or
ganized under the laws of New Jersey. Its
purpose is to construct a railroad beginning
at Little Ferry, Bergen County, N. j.. and
ending at Edgewater, on the Hudson river,
opposite this city. The entire length of the
proposed road is three miles, of which more
than mile will be q tunnel through the
Palisades.

ty worth $780, 900 has been obtained by the
corporation, and the surveys TOR the tunnel
are now being made. When the Terminal
Company sprang into existence railroad
men concluded that its main object was an
outlet Tor the New York, Susquehanna and
Western Railroad, which winds back Of the
Palisades and sends its passengers into New
York through traff1ce arrangements made
with roads owning their own terminals. But
there is greater corporation than the

FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
TRENTON. June 15.-The proceedings in
the action of the State against the Coalers
to break the Reading deal have been post
poned until July7. The counsel for the
State were ready for the argument in the
matter to-day, but counsel for the Jersey
Central asked for time, proving that the
Wall street rumor that the New Jersey
authorities were about to abandon the case
was erroneous
Indeed, Attorney General Stockton urged
an immediate hearing eff the statements
in the information are true" he said, Large
amounts of money are being drawn from the
people daily by combination that is In
open violation of the law and in defiance OF
the authority of the State. The ques-
tion must depend largely upon doc
uments attached . to the informa-
tion, the lease, the tripartite agreement and
the charters of the corporations.
"When the rule to show cause was granted,
returnable in Is days, the defendants should
have been ready on the return day; if not
ready, it would seem to be the duty of the
Court to grant the prayer of the information
and give the preliminary injunction asked
for until the case shall be heard. The in
jury is not only irrepsrable, but it is con-
tinuous, and the refusal of the Court to act,
without any reason given to the contrary,
would seem to be the denial of that protec-
tion which it is the duty of the Court to ex-
tend. If any delay is granted it should be
short and defendants should not be per-
mitted to come in at the end of that period
to surprise the State with u new case which
they could just as readily present now"
Chancellor McGill had pretty nearly the
same notion about the matter. and he fixed
July as the latest date for the argument.
