The Electric Railroads.&c. stock

The Electric Railroad stock
holders of the st. .Johnsbury Electric rail
road met on Tuesday morning at the St.
Johnsbury House and adopted the amend
ment to the charter which allows the
road to go to Lyndonville and also
adopted bylaws for the corporation. At
meeting Of the directors, which fol-
lowed the stockholders meeting, a COM
mittee consisting Of F. c. Kennedy, ]. S.
Person and !. J. Flynn, all of Burlington,
were appointed tonvestigate the expense
of building the road, ascertain the
amount af capital stock and bonds nee
essary and report at the next meeting
After the meeting the directors drove to
Lyndonville to look up the route.
In conversation with a CALIFORNIAN
representative President Kennedy said
the road would he commenced this tall
and completed in the spring. The road
will start from the st. .Johnsbury House,
thence down Eastern avenue up Rail
road street and by The river road to St.
.Johnsbury Center. After crossing the Ba-
con bridge above the Center the road will
run through the fields and not cross the
railroad track again until it reaches
place above Charles Cobb's house. From
there the road goes to Lyndon Corner,
thence to Lyndon Center and ends at the
depot at Lyndonvile. j. M. Perham is
making the surveys OF the road and fixing
the grades.
The CALIFORNIAN was mistaken last
week in saying the road would not be an
overhead trolley line. The storage bat
teries for the operation of railroads d.
rect from the battery under the car has
been abandoned as impractical on ac-
count of the long delays in changing the
batteries and the enormous expense it
entails. The storage batteries the new
road will probably use are those for the
regulation and storage of power so that
the current used upon the road under the
trolley system which is destructive to
the power plant, will be avoided and the
power as delivered from the generator is
constant, while if the power from the
generators is delivered direct over the
line it is subject to great fluctuation and
is destructive to the power plant.
The storage batteries will be located
near the car barn, wherever it may be, so
that it will be under the supervision of
the operatives and superintendent and
will be source of security in protecting
the traffic during any brief temporary
displacement of the machinery at the
power station.

Insurgents Are Active.

Philadelphia, Dec. 31.-The Cuban in
surgents are waging an active warfare
against the Spanish army in the east
ern provinces of the island. according
TO reports brought TO this city by
Captain Gray of Santiago de Cuba.
Soon after leaving Santiago no less
than six engagements on the edge of
the Juraga mountains between the in
Surgents and the Spanish soldiers were
Witnessed from the deck of the liver
ton Captain Cray says that shot and
shell were scattered in all directions in
the sea not far from the vessel, and
many wounded and dying men could
be seen rolling Gown the steep mount
aims to the edge of the sea. The in
surgents. the captain says, were IN
dOubtedly part of Gomez army. who
had been sent to the coast to convey
an inSurgent expedition TO the interior
of the island. Nearly all the way from
Santiago to Cape Maysi insurgent
camps were visible.
While the TiVerton was in Nuevitas
the insurgents were encamped on the
outskirts of the town and could plainly
be seen in the early morning preparing
for breakfast. They even went so far,
Captain Gray declares, as to send chal-
lenges to the Spanish officers to at
tack them, but slipped away when
the soldiers appeared. When the liver
ton left Santiago the number of sick
was growing less and the health of the
city was much improved.

THE object of reforms in Cuba and
Porto Rico is to transfer the consejo de
administration of each island powers
| which hitherto have been attributes of
Madrid.
The essential features of the reforms
are herewith given:
This cOnsejo de administration is TO be
composed, in the case of Puerto Rico,
OF six provincial assemblymen of the
region in which the next biennial election
shall take place and six councillors ap-
pointed by the supreme government. The
councillors appointed by the government
must be qualified as follows:
To be or TO have been president of a
chamber of commerce of the economic
society of friends of the country or of the
association of the argriculturists-
To be or to have been director of the
Institute of San Juan or dean of the
Corporation OF Lawyers of San Juan de
Puerto Rico.
ITO be or to have for four years prev
iously been one of the 80 principal tax
payers of the island.
ITO have been a senator or representa-
tive to the cortes III two or more legis-
latureS.
ITO have been elected two or more
times president of the provincial assembly
orr two years of San Juan de Puerto
Rico"
Some of the attributes of the council
are these:
The council is to deliberate upon the
general estimates of expenditures and
revenues of the island; upon the general
accounts which the finance department
of the island must present annually with
in six months following the end of the
fiscal year.
Upon the removals or suspensions of
mayor. aldermen upon the petitions for
legislative reforms that emanate from
the priYincial assembly.
Puerto Rico consists of one province
divided into two regions; in this it differs
from Cuba, which is divided into six
provinces.
The provincial assembly is to consist
of six assembly. six from each region,
with term of Office of four years. The
election to fill the vacant seats shall take
place every two Years, the region of San
Juan voting at one election and the region
of Ponce at another
The provincial assembly is TO elect it's
own president. to judge of elections, re-
turns and qualifications of assemblymen,
and to decide all questions referring to
its own organization under the law.
