500 CUTS SOME MORE.
Rate of 500 Flat to Boston and
Return.

The 500 line yesterday announced a
fiat rate of $29 for the round trip to the
coming Knights Templar conclave at
Boston, which is so cents lower than
any rate given this season. Whether
this road will stop at this or not, is now
a matter of conjecture with opposition

taking the the traveller Via the 500, OF

other routes are announced, making
five in all These range in price up to

NEW ENGINES ON HAND.
Great Northern Preparing to
Handle IL Heavy Traffic.

No chances will be taken by
the Great Northern this year in not be-
ing prepared for every emergency
which a heavy traffic may impose.
Some time ago the G O b e stated that
a large order for additional mogul en-
gines had been placed by the company
in Eastern shops. Two of these loco
motives have been received and are
now being set up in the local shops.
They will be ready by the time the fall
traffic becomes heavy. These two loco
motives came from the Brooks shops at
Dunlkirk, n. Y, and are model ma
chimes. They are numbered 361 and 1853,
respectively. Fifteen more are in the
course of construction at the same
works and for the same line, while the
Schenectady works are building nine
new engines for use on the Eastern

any interference with the peaceful ex-
erc1se of the rights of citizens, and
that is relied upon to accord Britton
full protection in the pursuit of his

that if the police force of Ishpemine
is insufficient to protect him he will

The West Virgiuia Direct Tax.


Auditor Johnson having received
many inquiries concerning the direct
tax money refunded by the general
government to this State addressed
letter of inquiry to Ex-Gov. Will
son, who was one of the ATTORNEYS
for the State TO secure the repay
ment of this money, and received
from him the following reply, which
the Auditor requests the newspaper.
Of the State to publish:
DEAR YOURS in relation
to the direct tax refunded to this
State received. None of this money
goes to private individuals. 1t was
not paid by them, excepting those
of Jefferson and Berkeley counties.
and il was refunded to the citizens
OF those counties under legislative
preparation, many years ago. Ex-
Guiding the amount collected from
the citizens of Jefferson and Berke-
ley counties--about S27 ,OOO--our
State paid the direct tax by way of
offset on claim against the United
States for arming and equipping
Federal soldiers. The entire amount
paid the State goes properly to the
general State fund. Many of our
citizens paid large sums under the
internal revenue laws, and thew
make mistake in supposing those
payments to have been under the di-
rect tax act.

----A<.
BIRDS AND BUGS.-The BROOKLYN
Eagle says: Before many years
have passed the Legislatures of our
States ard nation will be forced to
some action on the needless destruc-
ton Of birds. The robins and blue
birds and wrens and the hundreds of
glad little singers of the woods and
fields have been driven away not
merely from the cities, which they
used to inhabit, but from the viii
lagos on the outskirts, and in some
cases from even the isolated hamlets.
The increase in insect pests within
two or three years betokens a grave
danger, and the cheapest and surest
way to meet it is to stop killing the
birds and let them return and dine
upon the moths and caterpilars and
the rest of the evil tribe that strip
our trees and gardens. 1t will take
many years at best to restore them
in such numbers as they could be
rcckoned by dozen or twenty years
ago, but people by ceasing to be
sportsmen, or at least by ceasing to
kill the birds that are of no use as
food, can bring good times back
Without birds our gardens and yards
and nearby farms and woods must
remain the prey of the worm, the
slug, the bug, the fly and other
creeping and crawling things. Nc
birds, no caDbages, no shade trees
no potatoes, no flowers. 1t will be
expensive in the future if all our
garden truck has to be raised under
glass"

over the country. The mills are
quite generally running on full

British Occnny Corintn.

Tho United States attempted to adj
just the pending dispute between
Great Britain and Nicaragua. Am
oassador Bayard, acting under in
structions from Washington, repre-
sented to the British Foreign Office
that Nicaragua, if given two weeks
additional timo from the expiration
of the three days fixed in the ulti-
maturn, would meet Groat Britain's
demand for the payment of the Gl5,-
600 indemnity for the expulsion OF
Pr0.cOnsul Hatch. Lord Kimberly
acCedcd to this and AS il was pre-
sumed that the State department at
Washington was acting for Nicara-
qua, it was thought that the incident
would be closed without further
complications. But as Nicaragua
refused at the last moment to ac-
quiesce in this arrangement, the
original plan Of occupying Corinto
was carried out and 400 British ma
rines are now in possession of the
