Have Another Conference.

The Turkish government had finally pre-
sented to the ENJOYS Of the six powers a reply
10 their collective note on the recent dis

satisfactory 10 the six ambassadors. The
Porte, In its answer, enumerated the meas

that the Mussalmans were not the aggressors
in the recent riOting but that on the con

The Turkish government added that as
the Armenian refugees leave the churches ia
which they have sought refuge, the normal
aspect Of the city will be restored. la view

BOSTON LETTER.
East Boston Tunnel.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS. /


Chief Engineer Carson of the transit
commission is very busy man these
days. 1t is not alone with the subway
scheme that he is deep ' engaged, but
also IN stu lying the question of 1t tun-
mel to East Boston. While abroad
last spring Mr.. Carson made all ex-
haustive stndy of tuunelling, and in
his plans OF the East Boston tunnel,
which he is preparing, Mr.. Carson
will include all the most modern en-
gineering devices for building the
roadway under the river bed. The
iunuel to East Boston has been a
topic of interest to Eist Bostonians
and transit students for many years
now, and it is likely to continue
prolific subject of discussion for some
time to come. A few weeks ago Eu-
glneer Carson sent n letter to the city
council, telling whut had been done
in the matter of the East Boston tuu-
mel under the present transit commits
sion. The tunnel which Mr.. Carson
has outlined III his report to the city
council is not his ideal of tunnel.
The routes selected by Mr. Jackson in
his study of the East Boston tunnel
question were rs follows: Route No.
! was selected with especial refer
ence to the present street ear sys-
tens; it extends from the corner OF
Hanover and Richmond streets, in the
city proper, to the corner of London
and Decatur streets in East Boston,
and is almost straight line through
out its length. Route No. lies to
the south of the previous route. 1t
begins in the city proper, at the
corner of Commercial and Clinton
streets, and terminates at the corner
of Meridian and Paris streets IN East
Boston. Route No. 3 lies to the south
Of both routes Nos. / and ,. 1t be-
gins on Commercial street, between
State and Commercial streets, and
ends at the corner of Meridian
and Paris streets in East Boston.
Mr.. Carson's proposed tunnel is
about 4,775 feet. His plan contem-
plates double tube structure, each
tube being twelve feet wide and six
teen feet high, inside measurement,
passing under the harbor. Each of
the tubes would be wide enough to
accommodate single line of surface
cars of the ordinary size and admit of
narrow walk on each side, which
would allow pass myers to walk in
case the cars should be stopped for
any reason.

The New York World has been

The New York World has been ask
ing questions of the ministers of the
Metropolis as to the best method of
obtaining an audience whether it is
wise to offer, as does a London
preacher, free tobacco or cup of hot
tea to those who will come and listen
to the words of the Gospel on the
Sabbath day. The replies are both
varied and interesting. Bishop Potter
has shown by going into the slums
and performing active mission work,
instead of going to Newport, that he
believes in learning the ways and
needs of the masses by personal con-
tact, and thinks that the plain pre-
sentatIon of the Word of God the
best. He declares that the new ca
thedral will be made a place OF wor-
ship for the masses like st. PauIs, OF
London, and the attendance Will be
steadily augmented by the work OF
numerous missions throughout the
city. Rev. Herman Warszwiak, OF
the Church of the Sea and Land, the
famous Hebrew missionary, believes
that Christ's methods should be fol-
lowed, and that the people should not
be bribed into attending church by
offers of free tobacco, free lunch, free
drinks or free concerts. He com
meuds the action of Bishop Potter in
taking up personal mission work, and
says that the Bishops example must
reproach the consciences of the fash
ionable clergymen who are enjoying
themselves at the fashionable re-

ST. ALBANs-Vermont Republicans are be-
ginning TO consider the matter Of their rep
resentation at the next National Convention.
The Republican party Of this State has al
ways been well and ably represented at Ma
tional Conventions and the influence of
the Vermont delegation has on several occa-
sions been potential in the selection of presi-
Dental candidates. There IS a feeling among
many republicans that the majority OF the
delegates to the convention in 1896 should be
composed of new men, or those who have not
served heretofore in that capacity. 1t is
thought that if three or even four members
were chosen from among such representative
young republicans as Col. Z. c. Smith, of st.

BURLINGTON-An exciting electric railway
war is raging in Burlington. The contestants
in the street railway battle are the Winooski
AMI Burlington H. Railroad Company and
the Columbian United Electric Company.
The former company owns and operates
road which gridirons the Queen City, with q
line via the University of Vermont TO Wi
nooski. where it connects with the
Military Post Railway Company for
Fort Ethan Allen and Essex Junction
The latter road was built this year, and has
been in operation since July l. Passengers
between Essex Junction and Burlington are
obliged to change cars at Winooski and pay
a fare of five cents over each road. The dis
tance between the terminal points in Essex
and Burlington is eight miles.
The stockholders Of the Military Post Rail-
road are the owners of the charter of the
Columbian United Electric Company, and the
interests OF the two corporations are mutual.
This company proposes to extend its line
from its terminal in Winooski TO Burlington
via the old route of the Burlington and
Winooski II. Railroad, and to construct
road in certain streets in the city. This pro-
posed extension is strenuously opposed by
the Winooski and Burlington Company, and
the contest wakes hot between these rival
corporations.
The fight has been transferred to the CITY
Council, where the officers Of the contending
companies. with counsel, appeared and sub
mitted their respective claims for considera-
ton President Elias Lyman ofthe Winooski
and Burlington Company maintains that his
company has the exclusive right to occupy
the streets of Burlington, but in view OF the
controversy offers the city the sum OF $4,000
for the right to occupy the streets in the dis
puted territory. This proposition was made
to the board of Aldermen and rejected by a
unanimous vote.

Library Decorations.

From now on the Boston public will
have an opportunity to see one OF the
much -talked-of mural decorations in
the new public library, by Puyis de
Chavannos. People will have an OPP
portunity TO compare the latest work
of the greatest French decorative
artist OF this century with the works
of the two young American artists, f,
A. Abbey and John 5 Sargent. 1t viii
scarcely be possible, however, espe-
cialIv for the layman, to compare criti-
callv the work of these three men be-
cause of the widely differing themes
which each has selected and also be-
cause OF the different artistic char
acteristics of the three men. I'm
doubtedIy Chuyannes work will
create not only much favorable com
ment, but also much ayerse criticism.
1t must be remembered, however that
his work when first introduced to
Frenchmen was treated with absolute
scorn, and it WAS only after years OF
ridicule that he was recognized as
among the great master painters of
France. The present decoration,
which was put in place at the head
Of the grand staircase, constitutes
only about half of the decorations
which Puvis de Chavannes has been
commissioned to paint for the library.
The other decorations will occupy the
panels on each side of the wings OF
the staircase, and the two panels on
either side of the windows Mt the head
OF the first flight near the side walls.
The present painting occupies the en-
tire space on the wall Of the corridor
at the head of the stairway, and runs
over the door in the centre
which leads into Bates hail. 1t is
about 50 feet i'll length. The decora-
ton represents the muse greeting the
genius of enlightenment ln the
centre of the composition is nude
youth representing the genius of
enlightenment, with wings extended.
He rests upon cloud, and from his
outstretched hands luminous rays ap-

pear to float through space on either
side of the youth and toward him.
There are five on the left and four
on the right. There are three grand
planes Of color in the picture-the
green turf III the foreground, the deep
blue sea stretching to the horizon, and
the opaline sky, all blending into a
harmony which throws the figures into
full relief. The veriest prude cannot
find fault with the muses., however
much he might fnd with the nude
youth, as they are all chastely draped.

take the vacant places. If he appeals to the
