FASTER TRAINS ON THE ROAD

Between Wheeling and Pittsburg-
The Panhandle Preparing t. Re-
duce the Time-The Lackawanna
Railroad Making improvements.
Wheeling and Pittsburg are to be
brought closer together in so far as
fast train schedules are concerned. The
Panhandle has always had the ad-
vanatge in this trade, owing to its
shorter route, but the b. O., with it's
Improved road-bed has suddenly push
ed up to the front and is cutting in on
the Pan-Handle's business. The new
trains of the B. & 0. between this city
n Pittsburg are making the run of
CTS miles in two hours and fifteen
minutes, while the Panhandle is max
ing the run of Sc miles in one hour and
fifty-three minutes. 1t is interesting
in this connection to note the fact that
the opening of the new low grade line
on the B. & O.. between Pittsburg and
Little Washington has reduced the dis
lance between this city and Pittsburg
almost two and one-half miles, and
made it possible to reduce the running
time OF the trains in greater proper
lions through the elimination of curves,
grades, etc.
1t is now stated that the Panhandle
is preparing TO reduce the running time
of two of its fast trains so that the &c
miles between Wheeling and Pittsburg
a be covered in one hour and thirty
minutes, but it is said that no attempt
will be made to do this until the i'm
provements now under way near Pitts
burg are completed.
In the meantime the B. G O. is max
ing arrangements to cut out more
grades and curves, put down heavier
rails on parts OF the road, introduce
faster engines and Wheeling will enjoy
the vast benefits that come from close
competition.

The Lackawanna Railroad on Feb
ruary LIST opened a New England freight
agency in the Old State House, 2f0
Washington street, Boston, occupying
a part Of the ground floor space in the
passenger Office of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford r. R. Co. The sit
uation is an admirable one, located in
what is destined to be the centre OF
the freight and passenger agency por-
ton of Boston.
This step on the part of the Lacka-
wanna Railroad is a further indication
of the aggressive policy of the man
agement. The agency is in charge of
Mr.. John Gourley, as New England
freight agent. Mr.. Gourley has had a
long experience in New England solic-
iting work and is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with shippers and contracting men.
For the past eight or ten years he has
been a division freight agent of the
Fitchburg Railroad at Boston, and
since the consolidation has filled the
same position with the Boston &
Maine. AS his assistant he has Mr..
f, A. Farnsworth, who has been con-
nectsd with the Fitchburg Railroad for
a number of years as local freight
agent at Troy, as chief clerk to the
general eastern freight agent and as
chief clerk to the local agent at Boston.

CANADIAN POSTAL SERVICE.
Reduction in the Postal Rate TO Two

Washington. March 1s.-United
States Consul-General Bittinger, at
Montreal, has forwarded to the de-
partment of agriculture a report on
the postal service of Canaan. He says
that on letters TO the United King
dom, and numerous British possess
sions and protectorates postage has
been reduced under the present nd-
ministration to two cents per half
once, the same rate as to the United
States. The report of the service for
the last fiscal year, says the consul
general, shows deficit of S461,661;
9,627 post offices were in operation;
IFS, 299, 500 letters were posted and
money orders aggregating $16,2O9,Oos

an increase of $1,741.o71 over 1899. The

should not be forgotten. Think of a

stage when it demands rocking-chairs,

still unknown, but that there is grad.

LODGED VIGOROUS PROTEST.
nizance of Venexuela's High
Handed Actions.

Washington, March 1S.-The state
department, through Minister LOOMS,
recently lodged a most vigorous pro-
test to the Venezuelan government
against further interference with Mr..
Baiz, the United States consulaTSagent
at Barcelona, Venezuela. 1t knowns
nothing of the last reported infringe
ment of his liberty, but it is pre-
sumed that the affair is connected di-
rectly with the troubles which led to
the first protest. Ignatio NJ. Baiz is
not citizen of the United States, a
fact that may add to the difficulty
which our government will expert
ence in protecting him, as it is de-
termined TO do. He was born in ST.
Thomas and is a Danish citizen so fa-
as is known here, but having an exc
quator issued by the Venezuelan gov
eminent recognizing him as a United
States consular agent the state de-
partment has decided that he is emit,
tied to the protection of the United
States government. 1t appears that
he is engaged in business and became
involved in trouble with Venezuelan
military by resisting an attempt to
collect forced loan from him. More
than a month ago the state depart
ment forwarded it's instructions to
Minister LOOMS to represent to the
Venezuelan government that these
annoying interferences with our Off
cial must cease, but so far no results
have appeared.
