sire to arrive at a decision satisfactory
to all the Governments concerned.
The Secretary of State for the Colo
MES. Mr.. Chamberlain. had confer
enee to-day on the subject of the pro-
coma and Mount Royal the High Com
missioner of Canada, and other colonial
agents in general, who pointed out the
notifications of the original proposition.
Mr.. Chamberlain promised that they
should receive the best consideration.
In the course of his remarks the Earl
of Selbourne assured the House that
there was no intention on the part of
the Government to throw cold water
on a matter of such public interest, nor
was there any idea of seeming ungra-
ciousness.
Continuing, the Under Secretary said
he did not think anyone conversant
with the financial aspect of the matter
would regard the Governments offer as
being ungenerous. 1t offered, he said,
to share the burden without demanding
a share of the profits. The sum of
$4,000 per annum was named because
it seemed to be the outside limit on the
proportion of five-e ighteenths, which
Great Britain could be called upon to
pay. The conditions proposed, he ex-
planned, We're merely such as the eXpe-
rience of the Postoffice and Treasury
suggested as being the most likely to
secure efficiency. If the colonies had
any objections to urge against the form
of the British proposals, the Govern
ment was perfectly prepared to review
i.
to arrive at a decision which would be
satisfactory to all concerned.
Lord Tweedmouth, Liberal, supported
the Earl of Aberdeen in thinking that
the conditions were unduly stringent.

Co. of London have secured an order
for 300 tons of steel guard rails, to be
used on the new Boston Elevated Rail-
road, have been treated here by the

as a reply to the granting to Phila-
delphia firm of the contract to erect a
bridge over the Atbara River in the
Soudan.
The representative here of the Asso-
ciated Press saw Mr.. Kerr. the senior
partner of the firm, to-day. He said:
1T is no victory a all. Three con-
tracts-from New York, Boston, Phila-

lean mills are overcrowded. A few years
ago English firms had all this branch
of the business, and they held it until

General Joseph Wheeler requests the
Associated Press to deny the widely
circulated story that he was snubbed by
the Committee of Arrangements at the
Confederate reunion at Charleston.
General Wheeler states that the ru-
mors probably started from the failure
of the committee to send a carriage in
which to ride in the parade. The COM

sent, but the committeeman having the
matter in charge in the press of other
matters forgot it.
General Wheeler states that the mat

still ed to a foreign port

all the principal cities Of the East and
West. 1t is proposed to secure evil
dencs showing all the important changes

represented at the session.
Chairman Knapp read a brief prelim
mary address, stating the objects of
the hearing.
General Traffic Manager Clifford of
the New York Central was the first
witness. He thought that the present
domestic rates were very low. The
expert rates had been brought to pres
ent low figures because of the compe-
titior between rival carriers Outside
of this. he did not personally know Of
any reason why the export rates should
be SO low.
Mr. Clifford was asked a number Of
questions by w. A. Day, counsel for

feet of water per minute as required by
law. This may delay the opening for
another year, as if Governor Tanner
wishes to assert his prerogative he can
