Berlin, April 25.-In officiSl circles the
CoghIan incident is regarded mildly as
an ''Aushuss der Weinlaune" C'expres-
sion of wine humor'). A representative
of the foreign Office said to the corre-
spondent here of the Associated Press:
The American government has
promptly and efficiently fone all we
could reasonably expect. This alone
even if it were not for other indications,
shows us that the American govern
n1ent in TO way Identifies itself with
the utterances of a solitary officer"

recalls the fact that the incident is a
year old (referring to the message
which Admiral Dewey is said to have
sent to Admiral Won Diederichs), and
adds: IF Te must admit that Admiral
Dewey first harbored suspicious of the
German squadron these suspicious were
subsequently removed and their rela-
tions became most cordial, Admiral
Dewey even decorating his ships with
flags on the empress birthday, which
International etiquette did not compel
him to do"

The mile-a- minute bicyclist is here at
last. AS told in the telegraph dis
patches. Saturday morning. a New York
rider, paced by locomotive. covered
mile in 81 "A seconds. This sounds like
an impossible performance. but there
is no reason to doubt that it was act
ually done. No horse or other animal,
except a man upon wheel, can travel
at this rate for mile. OF course, the
rider was only able to reach this speed
by being behind a locomotive which
not only acted as a shield, but actually
helped to draw him along. But this
does not prevent the feat from being a
wonderful one, surprising anything of
the sort which has ever been attempt
ed. Bicyclists are not, likely to make
a practice ofchasing after.fast trains.
In the first place, the railroad com
panies will not build board tracks over
their sleepers for them to ride on; and
it is dangerous. The New York rider
was in imminent danger of his life
from start to finish. That was doubt
less one of the main inducements, but
there are quite a number who prefer to
chase fame in a less perilous way.

Let 20 or die. That's the alternative
of the shipwrecked man with the money
bags. If there was only some one to
throw him a life preserver, he might
save both life and money. Without
help it is let 60 or die. A great many
people have a like alternative before
them. Business men come to a point
where the doctor tells them that they
must "let go or die" Probably he adj
vised sea voyage or mountain air.

A Great Railroad Deal.

The great deal between the New
York Central management and the
managers of the Boston & Albany was
in the main, a surprise to the general
significance of the transaction is some
what of a mystery; and the fact that
it's meaning is only guessed at neutral
ICES it's effect on the stock market. The
unprecedented length of the lease, 1898
years, and the guaranteeing of per
cent. dividends on the stock for that
period, excite considerable comment;
and it is not easy to conceive what
reasons may have led to these extra
ordinary conditions. In discussing this
matter in his weekly letter from Wall
street. Henry Clews says that among
less surprise, because the opinion has
been gaining ground that there is no
real remedy for destructive competition
among the roads except through a
series of consultations that will create
a series af amalgamated groups out of
the several lines connecting the Allan
tic seaboard with the West.
Discussion of this question has de-
veloped into general plan of provin-
cial federation of roads, embracing on
the one hand the Erie. Delaware &
Lackawanna and the Delaware & Hud-
son in alliance with the New York
Central; and, on the other hand. an
alliance of the Lehigh Valley & Read
ing companies in conjunction with the
Pennsylvania Company; while the
Baltimore & Ohio might unite its in
terests with the Southern combination
of roads. These consultations are not
expected to be early achievements. nor
to be prematurely forced. but to wait
for convenient conditions for their con-
summation But the scheme has gain
ed such firm position in the conVic-
tions of railroad men, that it is very
naturally reasoned that Mr.. W. X.
Vanderbilts reported acquisition is a
first step in this direction. its object
being to bring one of the principal New
England lines into harmonious CO.
operation with the New York Central
suppose that a similar arrangement Is
under contemplation as between the
Vanderbilt roads and New York, New
Haven & Hartford: which receives
some plausibility from the supposed
achievement effected in connection
with the Boston x Albany.
These are symptoms of 4 new drift IN
the railroad interest which cannot bu.
attract attention. They are streaks OF
light upon the horizon of a vast in
vestment interest which has been Ions
beclouded by adverse conditions that
have stubbornly defied remedy. The
facts may not have any immediate
conspicuous effect upon the stock mar
ket at large, Out lHey introduce d ne"
and very important fundamental fac
tor among the influences giving stabil-
ity to the trunk line securities and
helping their advance to a foremost
position among our permanent invest
ments. The general public will neVe'
know the difference probably, but it Is
generally felt that commercial New
England will profit by this railroad
deal.
