Will Fight Grand Trunk.

President Mellep of the New Haven
road has begun fl movement on
the Grand Trunk eN stem, which has
invaded New England, by securing an
outlet into Providence. He has in
stalled two stea mboats to carry
freight from New York TO New Haven
daily. There the freight is transferred
to trains which take it to Springfield,
Mass, thence to Newport, VT, over
the Boston and Maine route, and
thence through Canada by the Can
adian Pacific line, the keen rival of
the Grand Trunk. Much of the freight
goes to Winnipeg.
For over two weeks an average OF
80 cars day of freight have been
shipped over this route in Grand
Trunk territory. Much OF it is imporU
ed from Europe and South America
to New YORK. Shipments from Gan
aoa for New York have steadily in
creased recently.
Railroad men at New Haven, say
that by the time the Grand Trunk
gets its new line working to Provi-
dence the New Haven Canadian Pac-
ific route will be so firmly established
that the Grand Trunk extension into
New England will never pay.

Mr.. Andrew Lang has recorded two
true dream stories exactly like that
Of the forgotten ledger entry. In one
lady, having lost an important hey
while walking in wood near her
house in Ireland, dreamed that she
saw it lying at the root of a Ger tain
tree. Next day she found it there.
She supposed her eye must have seen
it after it dropped, though her con-
scious mind had not instantly noted it..
Just the same was the theory of a
barrister who went out late at night
70 post his letters and upon undres-
sing missed check for a large
amount received during the day.
He dreamed he saw it curled round an
area railing not far from his door,
woke up, dressed, went out and found
it exactly as he had dreamed. The
mind registers at times what it does
not instantly report.

EXPECT TO FIND BIG
HOLE IN DRY DOCK
Naval Experts Think the Dewey
Was Sunk by COnsplratOrs

Manila, May 31.-Further examina-
ton of the United States dry dock
Dewey, which is partially submerged
in Subig bay, has strengthened the
belief of those of the navy who have
held that the damage was done de-
liberately by a band of conspirators
against the government. ..
However, it is now learned that the
valves had not been opened, as first
declared, though they were found to
have been leaking little. This leak
age would not have caused the trouble
and the dock sank more rapidly than
would have been the case had all the
valves been opened and nc other
opening made.
Accordingly the experts believe that
a large hole viii be found in the port
side or bottoM of the dock. It is
probable that the mystery will not be
cleared until the dock his been
