THE RAILROAD STU ALTON.
No tnfriendiiness Between the Two
Roads-Deeds Recorded

A deed of bargain and sale was recorded
IN the Chancery Court yesterday. convey
ing the property at the corner OF Frank
I'm and Fifteenth streets from A. H.
Smith 10 Henry l.. Cabell for the Rich
mond. Petersburg and Carolina Railroad
Company.
Mr. w. NJ. Habiston said yesterday
that the real estate situation, rs far as
the Richmond. Petersburg and Cdrolina
railroad is concerned. would be thorough
~ cleared to-day, and the exact route Of
the company could then be given.
Both the Chesapeake and Ohio and the
Richmond Petersburg and Carolina OIL
cials are emphatic in their statements
that the feeling between the two lines IS
entirely cordial. 1t is simply a question
~ supineeriu@. they say. and an present
difficulties will be Strengthened out by the
, oi.talttee IN Streets and their respective
engineers Al he meeting Of that com
mittee yesterday evening IL Is worthy Of
note that neither company was repre-
sented. and the whole matter was re-
ferred 10 one subcommittee OF six menu
bers by mutual consent.
The reasons given by the Chesapeake
and Ohio officials for noncompliance with
the conditions Of the Old franchise are
very feasible At that time they say the
cOmpany's bonds could not nave been
doated for more than 81. and the large
issue would have materially affected the
nrice Of their securities. Now that money
is 40 easy. they say that their bonds vii.
be sold at 90.

GERMANY AND CHINA

BERLIN, February &.-During the ses-
sion to-day OF the Budget Committee Of
the Reichstag. the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Baron Won Bulow, made a state
ment relative to affairs In China. He said
that in view OF the anti-tOreign irrita-
tiOn, particularly the fact that several
Germans were grossly insulted and after
wards assaulted at Tien-Tsin last Satur-
day. he had instructed the German Min
lister at Pekin, Baron Non Heking, TO
make II perfectly clear that If such acts
were not severely punished. or II there
was recurrence of such acts, grave con-
sequences would ensue for the Chinese
Government. He added: I'VE do not in
tend 10 interfere in the internal affairs
OF China. but duty compels us to protect
the lives and property Of Germans
MORE PLUMP CANARDS."
With reference to the statements pub
ished in foreign newspapers regarding
the supposed action Of the German war
ship Irene. in the Phil. pines, and the
alleged conduct Of RearAdmiral Dewey,
who. II should be said, threatened to
sink the steam plnnace OF the Irene, the
Minister Of Foreign Affairs said these
statements belong to the category Of
plump canards," previously described by
him.
So far as he knew, the Irene was not

Dr Din was informed about 10 o'clock
last night by representative of the Dis

and asked what he purposed to do with
the call He said he would, of course,
take no step until he had actually re-

IL into conference with his deacons. 1t Is
strongly probable. however that DR.. Dill

twenty or thirty days to close up his work
