When the Rutland-Canadan corpora
ton was formed, there was much talk of
through traffic combines with the Fitch
burg and New York Central, giving en-
trance into Boston and New YORK. The
recent reported sale of the Fitchburg
system to the Boston & Maine seemed to
eliminate that road from the plans. On
Tuesday, however, the directors of the
Fitchburg rejected the proposition of
sale, and the Rutland's star seems again
in the ascendant.

this spring In the shape of an orchard of
80, 900 trees owned by Mr.. Low of New
York city, brother of Hon. Seth Low
Mr.. Lows orchard Is situated at
Horseshoe in the Adirondacks and is the
largest maple sugar orchard in the
world. In former years only 10000 trees

trees will be utilized. There are three
large steel sugar houses in the orchard
with l6 evapOratOrs, which have a
capacity of 600 gallons of syrup every
10 hours. The sap is gathered by steam
locomotives, which draw cars on which
are the tanks for gathering purposes.
All the new machinery that was put In

under the direction of Mr.. IIebb of
Cambridge. The cost of the improve
ments this season is about $4,000. The
syrup is marketed In New York city and

attempt made at advance where opposed

British commander had reported the

position to be defeated at the drop of the

their own hands and drove the English
back with apparent ease to Rensberg.
General Butler not only was obliged to
retreat across the Tugela river, but it APP
pears has retired further still and is now
at his old camp at Chievely. The only

to be made without opposition, that
movement carries their opponents in the
direction the Beers desire them to go.
So there hardly can be much comfort to
the English in that bit of news.

He said that two or three bullets were shot through his front window, and that, without the presence of policeman he considered his life in danger. A po- liceman was hurriedly sent to the place and on investigation found two holes In window, evidently caused by bullets fired from an air rifle.

TOTE ONPORTO BEGAN BILI.
Agreement Reached to Take It Next
 Tuesday Afternoon.

Washington, Feb. 23.-An agreement was reached in the house to-day that the vote oh the Porto Rican tariff bill shall be taken at p. m. next Tuesday. Gen. eral debate will close Monday and short speeches under the five minute rule will follow up to the time of the vote Al republican caucus will be held to-mor- row night. The impression is growing that motion to recommit the bill to the committee on ways and means will command strong support and may pre- vail, although the leaders profess to believe that the bill will pass. Mir. Underwood, the democratic whip, sent out telegrams to all absent democratic members to be present on Monday.
 The feature of the day was MT. Lit- tlefield's speech. To-day he added to his laurels won in the Roberts case in a speech against the bill which for bril- liancy wit and logic rivals the best ef- forts of the recognized orators of the house. He made a profound impress sion when he concluded. and it was several minutes before the demonstra- tion that followed could be quelled. Among the others who spoke to-day were Messrs. Jones of Virginia and Maddox of Georgia against the bill, and Messrs. Russell of Connecticut, Bar- tholdt of Missouri Gardner of Mich- igan and Lacey of Iowa for 1t.
