RAILROAD NOTES.

The trunk lines have been requested
by the Oceanic Steamship company 10
make a material reduction in overland
rates. 1t wants them to enable 1t TO
base on a $64 first-class rate and S5S.50
rate from New York to San Francisco
in the construction of through rates to
Australian ports. These are the rates
which it claims the Canadian Pacific
Is basing on from New York to van
couver. and 1t desires to be put in po-
sition to meet the same rates without
cutting its own share of the tariff. The
trunk lines have referred the matter to
the Western roads. and the latter will
have q consultation with the Canadian
Pacific before they take any action. as
the Canadian Pacific is a member of
the Western Passenger association, and
they are bound to protect its interest
against those of any outsider.
-
A Western paper says: 1T has been
the policy Of the Big Four Railway
company for the past three years. in
putting in new side track room at their
stations. to place the improvement on
the south side of their main track. A
great many miles of this track have
been nut in and 1t is the general be-
lief that the company expects in the
near future to use the Improvement for
their second main track. The south
switch at this place has recently been
extended one mile and the shippers
have experienced but little trouble in
securing favors of this kind"

POWERLESS POWERS.

Mr.. Gladstone, who does not attempt
to conceal his disgust at the inaction of
the powers in regard to Turkish affairs,
in letter read at great public meeting
held lately in London said: "The six
great powers, which among them spend
more than &1oo,oo0,Ooo yearly upon
what is termed their defenses, lie pros.
trate at the feet of an impotent Sultan,
who, with their cognizance, appears to
prosecute maSsacres at his will, day by
day."
These powers are poweress simply be-
cause they are jealous of each other and
cannot agree upon any resolute, united
policy The Sultan presumes on their
divided councils, without fear, to pursue
his own cruelends.- Vermont Chronicle.

ASSOCIATION IN BOSTON,

The annual dinner of the Vermont AS
ISOLATION of Massachusetts was held in
the Vendome, Boston, on Thursday even
ing OF last week. Judge Ross was one Of
the principal guests and the first OF the

struggles with New York state over the
question of property title, Tor which they
paid the crown due consideration, and
told OF his admiration for the sturdy con-
servatism and rugged scenery which in
spred such mastering qualities nits sons
and daughters. In closing he told of the
six-year.old lassie, who at the close Of
her first summer among the hills of her
mothers childhood, boldly declared that
she would rather see load of great yell
low pumpkins unloaded than see all the
store windows on Washington street,
and who stoutly persisted that she would
rather stay up among the hills than go
back to Boston with her mamma.
There were 1875 diners present, half of
whom were ladies. The officers of the
society elected for the coming year are,
President, ex-Collector Beard; vice. presi-
dents, Alden Spear and Judge w. E. Full
ler secretary and treasurer, E. E. Silver;
