Elevated management within a short

Elevated management within a short
time,
With regard to the Massachusetts
Electric companies, it is not at all to
be assumed that it wanted the Boston
Elevated, for it is figured that the new
concern can pay six per cent from the
start, and, in the absence of a charter
like the E!eVated's, it does not want
five-cent fares or its dividends re-
stricted to eight per cent. Tt IS said
by tho insiders" that the two sys-
TENS, if Mr.. Morgan retains his excel
lent advisory faculties, can be made
sufficiently helpful to each ether with
out immediate combination.
Danger of sale Of the Boston Elc-
vated-for many Bostonians rlight re-
gard its sale as a danget-does not
exist. 1t is possible to say upon AL
thority which will not be disputed that
within three months Standard Oil IN
terests have offered $145 each for such
a number Of shares as, added to their
own holdings would give a controlling
interest in the road, and this with a
guarantee to retain the chief officers
of the company at their present salar-
les during the period Of legal exemD-
ton. The offer was refused, although
it represents a valuation of the shares
at 900 VIII Lllt KUN CLpILIi I'llu III
1t has been publicly limited of late
that the stock of the Boston Elevated
is already earning eighteen per cent,
and its recent advance to $115 is taken
as an indication that there are i'm
portant plans under way, n conncc-
ton with the Massachusetts, electric
companies, which will create as great
a sensation as did the original PROPOSE
ton of the Boston Elevated to take
over the West End. Whether or not
this be so, an intimate study of tie
stock history of the Elevated will leave
no one surprised at any statement uf
enormous earnings which may he
made. In 1887 the old companies We're
taken in by the West End at an infla-
ted valuation, notwithstanding which
the business was so profitable that
eight per cent dividends were paid
regularly on West End preferred; for
five of the ten years from 1887 to 1891
West End common paid ten per cant
and for the other five years about sew
en- per cent, or an average OF about
eight and One-half per cent. In idi-
ton, a large part Of the earnings We've
used in making UP the impairment OF
capital until, in 1891 there was nearly
one dollar of plant for every dollar Of
capital, without allowing for the val
liable franchise 1t IS a conservative
estimate that the average annual
earnings of the common stock during
this ten years We're twelve TO tiftee T.
per cent.
It is not wholly for its dividend-pay-
ing capacity, enormous as it is, that
this stock is so much wanted. Unless
dividends are raised above per cent
and fares reduced in the next twenty
three years, the surplus earnings Will

Mr.. Editor:-For the good of suffer-
ing humanity, and particularly those
suffering from that most dreadful dis
ease, rheumatism, we desire to inform
yocr readers that the only specific in
the world today for this disease is our
Five Drops remedy Five Drops"
is the name, and Five Drops" is the
dose. 1t is not only acknowledged a
specific by the many thousands who
have been cured by its use, but it Is
now acknowledged to be such by the
medical profession, many Of whom use
this remedy in their daily practice, and
they state to us that it is the only
thing with which they can cure the
rheumatism. This remedy not only
positively cures this disease, but it
never has failed and it never can fail
to cure any and all of the following
diseases: Sciatica, Lumbago, Neural
gia, Catarrh, Creeping Numbness.
Nervousness, Asthma, Heart Weak
ness, Toothache, Earache, La Grippe.
and diseases of the liver and kidneys.

but was perfected only after vast re-
search in scientific fields, and at great
expense. 1t never can be fully appre-
ciated until it is used. Many of its
cures border on the miraculous. Words
are almost inadequate to express the
great benefit which suffering human
ity is daily deriving from the use Of
this most wonderful remedy. Its
merits and medicinal properties are as
far above the other remedies offered
for sale as the mountain is above the

Washington. April 16-After hearing
sizes the state department was enabled
to announce positively and finally that
the three parties to the Berlin treaty
given their Samoan commissioners,
and that it was certain that the COM
mission would leave San Francisco on
the 25th inst. for Samoa on the Badger.
The instructions of the commission
crs are identical, the three govern
ments having accepted form which
settles the differences which have eN-
listed up to this point. The commission
will be empowered to deal with the
situation as it finds it in the Samoan
islands upon it's arrival. This applies
IT, acts necessary to place the affairs of
the islands in a peaceful and salts
factory condition for the time being,
and whatever the commission does in
this direction is understood to be OF Il
temporary character and subject to the
approval of the three powers.
AS to the merits Of the bitter contro-
vcrsy between the representatives, of
the powers on the island which led up
to the unfortunate outbreak of April
i. the commissioners are expected to
make thorough, impartial inveStiga-
ton and report the results to their re-
spective governments. The latter will.
by ordinary diplomatic exchange APP
ply any corrections that seem to be
necessary. The commissioners will
have no power to alter the treaty of
Berlin. They may make recommends
lions to that end, and where they are
unanimous, it is probable that their
recommendations will be accepted.

Manila. April 1G. - Gen. Lawton is
marching north along the roads be-
tween the hills and the lake with the

After leaving two companies of the
Fourteenth regiment to guard the en-
trance of the river the troops marched

where Father McKinnon administered
the sacrament to them. The main
body of the American troops while at
dinner at Longas heard the firing and
advanced to the support of the sharp
shooters. a scout from a hill saw the
little fight and many of the rebels run
ming into the hill. The Laguna de

shelled the hills. making them too hot
for the enemy. The Americans entered

Grand Forks-Public Improvements
will cut quite Il figure in the develop
ment of Grand Forks this season. and
there will be work for ali the laborers
OF the city during the entire summer.
About five miles of paving are con-
tracted for, and more is contemplated.
There is also Il also Il large amount of
sewer work to be done.
There has been an impression that
there would be little building done this
year: but some who have investigated
the matter thoroughly do not hesitate
to state that the impression is Il wrong
one. The contractors and architects of
the city are authority for the state.
inent that Il large number Of dwelling
houses will be constructed. and that
work on NEST of these will commence
list as soon as the weather moderates
and the ground will admit of eXcava-
ton. Some building is already going
on, but no structures of especial prom
1nence have as vet been started.
X. Il. Griffith. proprietor of the Onta-
rio store, the largest department. store
in the city. has already secured plans
for the erection of Il magnificent fou1
story building, to be used exclusively
for his own business. Whether this
will be started this summer cannot be
learned. Two other business blocks
have been talked of as things to come.
Improvements are to be made by the
Northern Pacific railway in this city.
The road has purchased considerable
property adjacent to their depot. and
besides moving about one .mi:e Of
track. they will fill in the disagreeable
and dangerous hollow surrounding the
depot and construct a fine new depot.

ground and are preparing to rusA the
work.

Washington, April Is. - Officials of

WINGED that Aguinaldo proposes to

barrass American operations and WILL
Of course. benefit the insrrgent forces.
A great deal is still expected from the
work Of the Schurmann commission,
but the effects of it's recent proclama-
ton have not been as great as the au-
thorities hoped for. 1t WAS stated at
the war department that Gen. Otis has
not called for additional troops. and in
sists that his present force. rein
forced by the six regiments under Or
ders to proceed to Manila will be
ample.
To Re-enlist Some of the Volunteers
No action has vet been taken by the
war department looking to the muster
ing out of the volunteers and nothing
will be done until the arrival of the
