RAILROAD MATTERS.
A Bright Outlook For the New England
Road,

- OutAOOA TOT the new England
Road.
President Mcleod expresses himself
as amazed at the perfect physical condi-
ton of the New York & New England.
He thinks the stock intrinsically very
cheap. One of his associates says: I
expect the stock to sell at 60 in the very
near future, at rs within six months, at
par within year. 1 think that eventu-
ally the Boston & Maine and the New
England will be combined as one
corporation. Relations with the Read
ing might designate it as the Reading
and New England Railroad company.
| am in favor of consolidation on the
basis of three shares of New England
for one share of Boston & Maine. The
Connecticut River Railroad company's
purchase was for the same interests
which are now in the New Eng "a I'D and
Boston & Maine. George NJ. Pullman
probably advanced the money. The
American Express company has bid
$3.50, 900 year more than the United
States Express company for the express
business on the New England road.
Charles Parsons and his friends control
about $4,000 shares of New England.
The present inactivity in the stock is
due to the possibility that the stock will
be for sale if Mr. Parsons loses all hope
of control. The stock can be sold prl-
vately in one block at 43.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The $4,000
accepted by this Government from Chill
in settlement of all damages in the Balti-
more riots in Valparaiso are now in the
United States Treasury, to the credit of
the Secretary of the Navy, but, judging
from present indications, long time will
elapse before any part of the sum is
drawn for the purpose of distribution

The governments legal advisers say
that neither the Secretary of the Navy
nor any other official has sufficient au-
thority to disburse the fund in a way that
would fully and efrectually protect the
government from the demands of such of
the claimants as might be dissatisfied
with their allotment.

to cheat the wage-earner of one-third
bis earnings. He concluded his address
with an attack on the Democratic party
for its attempt TO abolish the 10 per cent
tax on the State banks, and thus enable
them to restore State bank notes. He pict-
ured at some length the evils incident to
State bank circulation, and described the

Mr.. Carnegie then expounds the views of

high cost of living of the American work
