gradually his interest in his new duties

A POLITICAL MACHINE.
The Boston and Maine Being Used
to Benefit the Democratic Party.

CONCORD, N. H., Oct. 81. - Senator
Chandler last night sent the following
despatch:
To A. A. MCLEOD, President Reading
Railroad, Philadelphia, Penn: Two years
ago the state OF New Hampshire was
flooded with half a million OF dollars for
corrupt use by the Democratic party,
which money had been taken by Presi-
dent Frank Jones, of the Boston & Maine
Railroad, from the Maverick National
Bank of Boston.
As an inducement to the bank to fur
nish the money, half million of Boston
n Maine Railroad funds were placed
therein, and the deposit existed when
the bank made it's criminal failure In Oc-
tober, 1891. Now the Boston Il Maine
Railroad is again being used as a great
political machine for the Democratic
party.
l appeal to you, now the leader OF the
new railroad combination, to put an inn
mediate stop to this prostitution to po-
litical uses of the powers OF the Boston q
Maine Railroad, and TO make il a non
political enterprise. VIII you not give O
public assurance that you will do SO?

Sir John Lubbock. OF the London Cham
Der Of Commerce, Speaks on Trade.
LONDON, Oct. 27.-A meeting Of the
London Chamber OF Commerce wes held
yesterday. Sir John Lubbock, president
OF the chamber, delivered an address in
which he dwelt upon the unsatisfactory
state OF trade, which, however, he de-
clared had not been affected by the Nc
Kinley tariff to the extent that was ex-
pected. British trade with America, he
said, had declined less than it had with
other countries. The greatest sufferers
were the Americans, who felt the pinch
more acutely than did the British. Cana
dian exporters, Sir John added, were in
q condition OF commercial paralysis that
could not be indefinitely prolonged.
The Mckinley bill constituted a grand
opportunity for Canada. This bill had
placed American farmers at a disadvan-
tage. IL Canada protited by the position
and lowered her import duties, her mer-
chants would be bene fitted, because many
British products required in the West
would inevitably find their way through
Canada and across the border without
paw ing the heavy American custom dues.
Sir John declared that bi-metallism
would never be adopted by Great Britain,
as it would be impossible to fix a ratio OF
value.
