CHANGES AT BANGOR.

r. Several changes went into effect Tues
day morning in several departments OF
the Maine Central railroad in Bangor.
W. j. Dow, who has been baggagemaster
for many years has been appointed sta
tion master. He. will still retain the posi-
lion of baggagemaster. AS station master
MIR. Dow will have charge of all the sta
ton buildings and the men employed
around them. He has had this part OF
the work to look after for several years
but.the new title.gives him authority to
see that-the work is done, and done we'll,
Michael j. Buckley, who has been assis-
tant baggage master at the Maine Cen
trail depot for nine years, has resigned.
The car department, the business OF
which has been looked after in the freight
office, will be taken in charge by General
Yardmaster Harry R. Barnaby. beginn.
ing Tuesday, and he will have. the assis-
lance ofssasclerk. Mr.. Barnaby has an
Office at the south end of the station next
to the western baggage room.
THE KLONDIKE BUSINESS.
A London despatch to the Montreal
Star, says: The railway rate war is
burning theme in the city. Today's dis
cussion turns largely upon a Times
Ottawa telegram, which alleges that the
Grand Trunk admits having worked in
conjunction with American lines to
divert to the Western States British and
European settlers intended for the Cana
dian Northwest. The Grand Trunk,
under Mr.. Hays, has done SO much of late
to re-establish itself in public opinion
here, that this allegation must act most
prejudicially. England is just now IN too
keenly an imperalistio mood to appreciate
an anti-British policy on the part of a
line built up by British capital. The
friends of the Grand Trunk here deny the
allegation, ana say that Mr.. Hays will
certainly be able to contradict it.
Despite government and other efforts to
keep back Klondikers until the season
really opens for traffic via the Stickens,
steamers are now taking between two and
three hundred each week, mostly booked
to Vancouver. These numbers will be
swollen next month, but the agents of
whom enquired today, do not anticipate
anything tremendous in the way OF a
rush from Europe. The Klondike fever
is, nevertheless. checking general farm
emigration for the moment.
