The October number Book Of the
Royal Blue" published by the passen-
ger department of the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, commences its seventh
volume, or seventy third number In
the six years of its existence il has
made a place of its own as a magazine
of travel and literature. and has found
its way into all the principal clubs and
public libraries OF the country and
built up a circulation OF inestiinable
value. From a historical point Of view
it has no rival, and it's general Htera-
ture Is OF the best and lasting quality.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad offers
n wide field from both a historical and
scenic sense. travelling a territory which
is rich in historic lore. from the French
and Indian to the Civil War. The care
ful handling of the countless incidents
in complete detail, affords most inter
esting reading. This is particularly

the sketches on Frederick, OF star
Spangled Banner" fame. Berkeley
Springs, the fashionable resort of the
Washingtons and Fairfaxes: and

ground of the Revolution. An ad-
vanced sketch of the new railway sta
tion at the National Capital CONVEYS
the first ideas Of what this magnificent
structure is to be; and the information
concerning the progress Of the Worlds
Fair is most timely.

ST. Petersburg, Jan. 12-The "Novoe Vremya"
publishes list of reforms it is proposed to in
stitute in Macedonia, which are apparently,
result of Foreign Minister Lamsdorff's mission
to Austria. The newspaper says that Russia
and Austria have practically agreed to make
certain proposals to Turkey, which include
Turkish financial control of the collection of
taxes in Macedonia and of the payment of
troops and officials in the European vilayets.
Control of the gendarmerie is to be had by the
selection of Off GERS from among the subjects
of the neutral European States OF Belgium,

desirable and should be intrusted TO a high

will be derived, and that il is therefore to be
