Doubt About Constituiionaiity OF

New York Feb. 21.-0nlY the legal
phases OF what the Eastern trunk line

After the conference Mr.. Harris
made the following statement:
"A conference Of counsel of some

stated that no conclusion was reached

The abandonment of the original plan
to have Il meeting of the executive
heads was due. it is said to the fact
that The railroad officials desire that
their counsel shall first determine the

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.

The apportionmcnt committee has
not yet taken action upon the matter
Of the congressional districts, al
though at least two plans have been
considered tentatively. The plan,
which it is understood is most likely
to be adopted makes but single
change. the taking of Piscataquis
county from the 4th District and plac-
ing it with the Sd.
The State is made up at present Of
-four congressional districts. and
through the hardest kind of work on
the part of Congressman Burleigh and
the others of the Maine delegation in
Washington that representation has
been retained. The I'd District now
consists of the counties of York and
Cumberland with population in
round numbers Of 1S1 900 and under
this plan no change would be made
| here.
The I'd District includes Sagadahoc.
Lincoln, Androscoggin, Knox. Frank
lin and oxford with "a population of
about 100000. No change is proposed
i'll this district under this plan.
| The Sd District comprises Kennebee,
| Somerset. Waldo and Hancock with a
population Of but $4,000. Adding
/ Piscataquis to this district would bring
! its population up to the neighborhood
J of 10000. on level with the other
two districts.
The 4th District at present includes
Aroostook, Penobscot. Piscataquis and
Washington, the total population of
which is something over 100000. The
removal of Piscataquis from this dis
trict would restore the balance in all
four districts.
The other plan makes a change in
all the districts except the 1st and
puts kennebec in the I'd District along
with Sagadahoc Lincoln, Knox and
Androscoggin. 1t takes Franklin and
/ Oxford out of the present I'd District
and puts them in the 4th along with
Aroostooll, Pscataquis and Somerset.
while the Sd District under this plan
would be made up of Waldo, Hancock
Washington and Penobscot. Each OF
the other districts under this arrange
ment would have a population several
thousand larger than the 1st District.
/ The first proposition on the basis of
the last election would seem to be
considerably more favorable for the
Democrats than the second. 1t would
leave the 1st District doubtful politi-
cally. the Cd, which is at present
Democratic would remain unchanged.
the Sd, now Democratic. would be
/ doubtful while the 4th upon the basis
of the election of last fall would be
Democratic. Under the other plan the
I'd would be very strongly Democratic.
the lst as it is now, the Sd Democratic
and the 4th would be made up SO that
| nothing short of a revolution in
Aroostook county would ever enable
the Democrats to carry it.
Friends of Congressman-ele Gould
are strongly opposed 70 the second
plan on the ground that it would be

made il plain tonight that he will

reciprocity agreement by any vote
which the Senate may take on the
question unless II is plain to him that

who We're in favor of reciprocity but
who opposed to an extra session. The
assumption was that the President
would be satisfied with n test vote
which showed that the opposition
against reciprocity could not be over
