Railroads to be Abolished.
A RADICAL STEP ADVISED.
Senator's Frye aud Cullom Are the Par
ties Urging the Measure.
Holding the Present Arran gements Work
Directly Against American Railways
a Decrease in Treasury Cash Dur
ing December-CapitalN Notes.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-It is said on
trustworthy authority that President
Harrison. the secretary of the treasury
and secretary of state have practically de-
termined to make the outgoing of the
Harrison administration notable by a
blow at Canada much more vital than
the recent order imposing tolls on Canad-
ian vessels passing through she Sault Ste
Marie canal at the entrance of Lake Su-
peror. The blow will come in the shape
of the presidents proclamation curtail-
ing or abolishing the privilege now en-
joyed by Canadian railroads Of transport
ing merchandise in bond through the
United States free of duty, which, under
the system. is very advantageous to for
eign roads at the expense of American
companies.
The attorney of the Canadian Pacific
road is here in consultation with Congress
sional friends of the Canadian roads and
there is evidence of genuine alarm in the
minds of the friends of Canadian inter
ests. Senator's Frye and Cullom are said
10 be advising the president TO take some
radical step in this direction to bring
Canada to terms. Mr.. CulIom has often
expressed the opinion that Canadian roads
were constantly evading the inter-s state
commerce law to the disadvantage of
American lines.

ton OF the constitution. Members of

we were making repairs and expected to
proceed on our way. 1t is evident she
took that for assurance that we did not
need her and she proceeded on her way.
Some passengers expressed disappoint-
menE at the action of the Gallia, as she
lett US before we tested our machinery
after repairs. In reference to having
another steamer tow us, / would say 1t
was not towing weather when we needed
assistance, and when the weather settled,
our repairs were completed and we did
not need help. The weather was very
much in our favor after the accident
There was no alarm or excitement of any
nature among the passengers, and, aside
from feeling OF disappointment at not
being able to eat Christmas dinner on
shore, the voyage was pleasant one for
all on board.
The captain of the Umbria signaIed the
Manhaset that he required no assistance,
supposing the Gallia would come TO his
aid and save heavy prize money. To the
astonishment and disgust of everybody
on board, the GaIlia in response TO the
signal that the Umbria was disabled and
needed assistance, answered back: stCan t
stand by; carrying mails, - and steamed
off. BY this time some of the passengers
began to show dissatisfaction and the
klckers called a meeting to demand that
something be done, but the majority of the
passengers were satisfied that everything
was being done that could be and the
meeting came to nothing.
On Tuesday notice was posted that
the steamer would start that evening.
About $3.50 o'clock the machinery began
to move and from that on till the end Of
the journey continued to revolve slowly
but staunchly. bringing the great ship
safely to shore.
Among the passengers on the vessel
were j. Henry Harper, the head of the
great publishing house, Harper Bros. j;
Simon Sterne. well known New York
lawyer; Thomas Epwith, of the British
diplomatic service; General E. Burd
Grub, United States minister, of Phila-
delphia; Oliver Herford, well known
artist or New York, and the son of Rev.

The scene at the pier on the arrival of
the big liner was exciting. a great crowd
of eager and anxious friends crowded
about and there were many affectionate
and some hysterical greetings as the pas
Sengers came ashore.
