Although the Servian troops did MT

comPLlcATEs MATTERS.
The Great Powers Now Confronted by
Different Situation.

London, April 23-While the capture
of Scutari by the Montenegrin troops
is believed in European capitals to
have complicated the situation created
by the decision of the Great Powers
to include scutari in the future state
Of Albania. the opposite view Is held in
Ralkan circles.
The opinion prevails that the Nom
tenesrins having accomplished the OBJ
jeet they have aimed at since the be-
ginning of the war, will find it more
easy TO accept the decision of the
Great Powers and that the latter on
the other hand will be more ready to
grant her reetification of her from
ties which will satisfy her.
The long defence of Scutari under
Essaad Pasha was made by an army
estimated at about 10000 men, who
also had to guard the outlying strong
hold of Tarakosch and other connect
ing works surrounding the city. This
they did so well that the Montenegrins

brothers who owned the hotel property
at Rockland was director of the
Maine Central Road
Did your directors think that the
| Rickers corld not manage summer
hotel properly or that the Maine Cen
trail could do it better?" asked Mr.
Brandeis.
NO, but We thought that our de-
velopment of the property would re-
suit in increased benefit to the road
Questioned by Mr.. Prouty regard :
ing the increase in the Maine Central s
capital stock, Mr.. Hobbs said that
| about ss.000,000 represented the TAX
ing up of an old bonded debt of the
| Maine Central. $1,000 900 went into the
Portland Terminal Company. $4,000,
900 is now out at interest and the re-
naming $500, 900 is accounted for by
expenditures for betterments, acqusi
ton of small lines and the Kicker ho-
tel properties.
Mr. Brandeis, on cross examination
ELECTED the fact that previous to the
New Ravens control of the Maine
Central the road had paid dividends,
increased its service, provided better
ments and had obtained additional
business without any substantial in
crease of its capital.
Vice President w. ]. Hobbs of the
Boston e Maine Railroad was next
heard. He was questioned by Commits
sioner Prouty at great length regard
ing the Hampden Railroad Corpora
ton. This corporation is constructing

of the Boston & Albany division oe
the New York Central Freight and
passenger traffic from Springfield to
New Hampshire and Maine points and
to Boston over the Boston & Maine
system, must either go by way of
Northampton or pay trackage charges
over the Athol branch, pending the
completion of the Hampden road. The
road joins the Central Massachusetts
line of the Boston & Maine at Bonds
ville and on the Springfield end must
use the Boston & Albany terminal sta
ton.
Mr.. Hobbs said that the line was
expected to increase business of the
Boston & Maine Road by giving it a
direct connection between New York
and New Hampshire and Maine points
1t was brought out by the commission
er that the net annual operating cost
per mile of the Hampden road will be
about $4,000 while for the rest of the
Boston & Maine lines is about $4,000
a mile
How do you account for this?" ask
ed Mr. Prouty.
Vice President Hobbs explained that
the road was costing more to buill
than had been anticipated. that 4
ledge of rock had been discovered in
a deep cut, which made the cost OF
the cut much greater than the esti
mate.
1t costs almost as much mile as
the Culebra cut observed Mr.. Prouty
amid laughter.

peals most to me- said the commits

ed In the new tariff bill.
The resolutions voice "A most en-
phatic protest against the threatened
Gripping of this industry in the name
of revenue and price regulation when
neither can possibly be regarded as
the essential features of the bill in
its present form and when there is no
need whatever for monopolstic curb
ing, nothing even remotely approach
ing monopoly existing in this indus-
try, and at q time when this sndus-
try has been suffering for the past
three or four years a period of un

over production with attendant do
nestle competition in it's bitterest aud
most relentless form"
1t is declared in the resolution that
The drastic reductions in cotton
manufactures and the raising of the
rates upon the materials entering into
their manufacture, such as indigo, and
other dye stuffs, are contradictory ane
impose a unnecessary expense upon
both the manufacturer and consumer.
The association also Records itself
as unalterably opposed to ad valorem
rates as against specific duties
which offer the only sure method yet
devised by any country to prevent IN

tations'
