NEWS OF THE RAILROADS.

There is a great call for parlor car
seats on the through line from Farm
ington to Rangeley.
About one hundred and fifty men
are commencing to cut poplar on the
line of the Franklin e. Megantic Tor
next years business.
The regular passenger trains from
Rangeley to Pennington present a nne
appearance. All the cars are newly
PAINTED and just from the repair shop.
Two engines came out Of the Sandy
River Railroad repair shop recently,
all thoroughly repaired and painted.
They were Sandy River No. and
Franklin & Megantic No. 2.
Messrs Isaac Smith and r. H. Nc
Mullen, brakemen on the Sandy River
freight train, are finishing up room IN
one of the railroad buildings at Farm
ington for the freight crew to stay in
nights.
1t is said that all through passenger
trains between Boston and Portland
and vice versa will change locomotives
at Portsmouth on the Eastern DIVISION
and Exeter on the Western division
when the summer time tables ana
changes go into effect. This change
will be brought about on account OF
the use of coke as fuel, as locomo-
tive could not run through and finish
the run with coke to fire with and
make the same amount of steam that
it can for the first part of the run.
Coke is now used only on trains with
a short run and on yard shifters. 1t is
understood that the company has a
contract for a number Of years on
coke and it must be used up in this
way. or it will never be consumed.

FREE COINAGE IN

shafroth VIII Submit a Plan to Con

Denver Col. Oct, Congress
man John f. shafroth, who has been
travelling in Chinaand the Philippines
for the last four months. has reached
home Speaking Of the conditions in
the Philippines he said
peace has been practically restor-
ed. There is still a little insurrection
in samar, but aside from that every
thing is fsirly quiet. do not believe,
however that the retention of the
Islands VIII be profitable as the gov
esnment will have to expead a great
deal Of money on them, even in times
of peace. 1t costs now between $780,
100000 and s75,OOO,O 600 a year to keep
the soldiers there, and even if the
number is reduced TO 10000, the ex-
pense viii still be greater than the
profits from the ISLANDS will warrant.
The islands are unquestionably rich,
but their benefit TO the United States
will not materialize until a generation
or two shall have passed and the need
for an army in the islands shall have
gone"
In regard to China, Mr.. shahoth
says.
The trade Of the United States with
chinahas grown rapidly and this coun-
try will son be keeping pace with the
struggle for supremacy The danger
Of hte invasion of American fields by
the Chinese is not very great so long
as the exclusion act is in force. but as
this will expire next spring the prob
lem will be one for the government
again to consider So far the govern
ment has not allowed the Chinese to
enter the Philippines and / presume
It viii exclude them there so long as
they are kept out OF the United
States"
Mr. Shafroth looked into the silver
question in the Philippines. and when
congress shall meet this winter will
submit a plcn for the reoDening al
Manila and the establishlaent OF free
coinage Of the silver Of the islands
f"he Mexican and English coins are
now circulated ia the islands. and al
American bills and gold command
premium in China and neighboring
countries. most Of the American
money Is low driven out OF the coun
try.

The s1oo Set Aside for Travelling Ex
penses for School Presidents.

7 by AbsUcIaIeu FIess.I
A precedent of long standing in
Oklahoma has been for boards of re-
gents OF the different educational In
stitutions to set aside the sum of 800
a year each for the travelling expens-
es of the presidents of the different
schools, ana in some instances to pay
the expenses of presidents in attend
ing the meetings Of the boards. James
E. Ament of Alya, is said to be the
only school president whose expenses
nave been paid in attending the re-
gents meetings. In all probability a
new policy will be adopted shortly,
