THE BEIRA RAILROAD.

Situation and Character of a Line Re-
Gently Under Discussion.
The Beira railway, which is now at
tracing public attention was the out
come of an agreement made between
Great Britain and Portugal on June II,
1891, mainly for the purpose Of fixing
the respective frontiers, following on the
taking over of Lobengula's territories by
the British South African company,
through the final arrangements respect
ing these frontier questions were not
made until later date. Under the
agreement in question, says 1.-THE
Times" to which we are indebted for
these particulars, the Portuguese gov
eminent undertook, among other things,
the construction of line of railway
which would connect Rhodesia with the
sea, at Beira, and they further guaran-
teed not to impose any transit duty on
goods higher than three per cent. The
original concession was granted to the
Mozambique company, but eventually it
was transferred, through Mr.. II. T, Van
Laun, to the Beira railway company,
which was registered in London in July,
1892, with debenture capital only. The
line from Beira to the Portuguese from
tier was constructed in sections, and
when, in July, 1896, the Mashonaland
field force passed this way they were
able to use the sections lying between
Fontesvila, which is forty-five miles
up the River Pungwe, to Chimoio,
distance of one hundred and fifty miles
from Beira. The complete line to New
Umtali, the frontier as then fixed on,
was finished by July, 1898. The total
length of the Beira line is two hundred
and three miles, a greater distance than
was originally contemplated partly be-
cause the boundary between the British
and the Portuguese spheres of influence
had in the meantime been moved seven
teen miles westward, and partly because
of the detours which had to be made
owing to the hilly nature of the country
Thus between Fontesvilla and Chimoio
the distance as the crow flies Is seventy
FIVE miles but the line winds one hun
bred and twenty, while 1t rises steadily
from Beira until at Umtali it reaches an
elevation of $3.50 feet. In the circum-
stances it is not surprising that the av-
erage rate of speed for passenger trains
Is only twelve miles an hour, and for
goods trains ten niles an hour The
complete journey from Beira to Umtali
generally takes two days, night being
spent at a stopping place en- route
At Umtali the line connects with that
of the Mashonaland railway company,
which runs thence to Salisbury, the cap
ital of Rhodesia, distance of about
one hundred and seventy miles This
Umtali-Salisbury line was constructed
under contract with the British South
Africa company, which guaranteed the

THE MODERN ENGLIsHMAN.

The scene of Friday night last week,
the sudden descent of London into the
streets in fit of wild rejoicing, the pro-
traction Of the display into Saturday,
any some of the features of the rejoic-
ing itself, are not in the least like the
understanding people who, by the con-
sent of all foreigners, "took their pleas
ure sadly" They are extraordinarily
ready to go abroad and fight, an incl1-
nation they never displayed in the Cri-
mean war; they discuss CONSUMPTION in
stead of rejecting 1t summarly; they
are all interested like Frenchmen or
Italians. in the viclssitudes of cam
paign 1t means, we believe,
that the English are becoming more like
the Americans in the readiness with
which they express themselves, less in
articulate less froStbound in their dis
play of feeling. There is no change in
the national character whatever, as may
be seen in the hard self-repression ana
cool resolve to go on with which the
people received continuous news of de-
feat and disaster. The almost silent
fortltude with which they listened, and
which meant, as all recognized who
knew them, that, like unbeaten pugil-
lists, they would come up to time" af
ter q moment to draw breath, was en-
tirely like their own older selves. as was
their abstinence from complaints of
their generals or of demands for
change of government. The capacity
to endure without losing strength,
Il. TT, Il,n f>e tJ,n Go ynr,
character, is still there and the only
change is in the national power and
method of expressing feeling. In that
there is a change. Chiefly as we be-
lieve. from the effect of a generation of
education, a kind of shamfacedness,
shyness, involuntary reticence, describe
it how you like, has dropped away, and
the people are more articulate. They
are less ignofant and less afraid of their
own ignorance, less obliged to wait for
leadership, less painfully apprehensive
of ridicule. Just as they can all write,
we'll or badly, but still intelligibly. so
they can all, when excited. speak with
freedom and directness which fifty
years ago was entirely wanting to
them. They are learning to converse In
stead of merely narrating, to narrate
without parentheses and even to ques-
ton without hopeless vagueness. They
We're, more especially In the villages, as
tongue-tied as cattle, and now they are
only as tongue-ted as reserved men.
They know, too, great deal more.
Partly because of the early defeats, but
chiefly, we fancy, from the diffusion of
the habit of reading newspapers, they
have taken an interest in this war such
as the inhabitants of the seaports took
in the old sea fights; they know all
about it, they follow its details and in
every respect but one they understand
it's geography. They are still bothered

A FEssENDEN MEETING.


Plans to Garry on the Fessenden-War
ner Campaign.
Samuel Fessenden, who was recently
supplanted as republican committee
man by Hon. Charles f. Brooker Of An
SONIA held a conference last night at
Savin Rock with party of his friends,
who eondoled with him over his recent
defeat, talked over the chances of the
nomination of Donald T. Warner for
governor and sang, after the banquet,
to which Mr.. Fessenden treated his
friends
SANS jolly good fellow,
Sans jolly good fellow
So say we all
Sixty-three men more or less promi-
nent in republican state politics were
present, including Mr.. Fessenden, eX-
Speaker Brandegee of New London,
Colonel Leavenworth of Wallingford,
Representative Vinton Of Mansfield,
Attorney Glynn of Winsted, ex-Mayor
Farnsworth, Postmaster James A.
Howarth, Colonel l. M. Ullman, County
Commissioner Hart D. Munson and w.
II. Ely of New Haven
The meeting opened with dinner,
after which plans to reinstate Mr.. Fes-
sender and secure the nomination of
Mr.. Warner were said to have been dis
cussed. Colonel Leavenworth of Wal
lingford presided at the meeting and
Mr.. Whittlesey of New London was sec
rotary.
At the close of the meeting Mr.. Fes-
sender said that it had been decided to
appoint campaign committee and that
such a committee had been appointed
consisting of a member from each SEN
atorial district in the state. He said
that he was chairman of the commit
tee and that Jacob D. Walter of Chesh-
ire was secretary, He later said that
an executive committee had been APP
pointed and that campaign commit
tee had also been appointed to cooper
ate with the executive committee. Some
of those appointed members of the cam
paign committee had not signified last
evening their willingness to serve there
on, and Mr.. Fessenden said that for this
reason he did not care to announce the
names Of the members. He said that
the committee had been instructed con-
corning the work it was to do, and he
further said: 1--WE intend to use all
honorable means to secure the nominal
ton of Mr.. Warner" He said that he
did not care to make public any of the
plans decided upon to secure this end,
and did not think it advisable to an
nounce the transactions of the meeting.
Headquarters will be opened in New
Haven as soon as the committee on Sc
curing headquarters, which was APP
pointed, has selected satisfactory rooms.
This committee consists of Sheriff Dun
ham and F. A. Belts and +. l.. Averill
of New Haven.
After the business of the meeting had
been transacted those present INDUCED
in more liquid refreshments, and there
was some singing and music.
