After some roll i ills, including the call of the House, on which the Republicans did not vote, and 5b democrats did. Mr. Hamilton moved to proceed to elect a l. S. senator. Speaker Haines refused to entertain a point of order that no quorum was present, and ordered the clerk to proceed with the roll call, which resulted: Morrison 4b, Haines 1, Richard Bishop 1. During the roll call the republicans left their seats and the House. The democrats voted to invite the Senate to a joint session at noon, and then took a recess. Tl e Senate met with seven democrats and three republicans absent. The republicans broke the quorum, when Senator Merritt moved to adjourn, which was carried. When the Senate reconvened the demo crats tried to have the clerk of the House recognized, but the president ruled that he could recognize no one without a quorum. A few minutes before 12 the democrats rose in a body and marched over to the House. The remaining senators carried a motion to adjourn. _ When the senators and representatives had assembled, Haines said that as he understood the law it made no difference whether a quo rum was present or not.

In the Senate today, the array appropria tion bill was placed on the calendar. A bill providing a permanent reservation tor the Indians of northern Montana, was passed. The Senate refused to take up the joint resolution to refer the settlement of the Ven ezaeiean awards to the President. A bill to quit the title of settlers on the I>es Moines river lands was taken up and read f*1® District of Columbia appropriation biL with the Senate amendments was reported back and conferees appointed. At 1.25 P. M. the senators returned to the i Senate chamber, and the president pro tern, ot the body having resumed the chair, the j tellers on the part of the Senate—.Messrs, i Hoar and Pendleton—appeared, and in their behalf .Mr. Hoar reported the result of the j electoral count. \Y hen the tellers’ report was completed, the president of the Senate repeated verbatim j the closing sentence of the announcement made hy him in the House relating to the declaration of the vote. That sentence was as follows: “And the I president ot the Senate makes this declaration only as a public statement in the presence of the two Houses of Congress, of the contents of the papers opened and read on this occa sion, and nut as possessing any authority in law to declare any legal conclusion what- ever.*’ Mr. Conger said he desired, as one of the i members ot the Senate, to say that he entirely dissented from the declaration that the presi dent of the Senate or vice president had no other power in announcing that vote than to announcing the fact, and he did not know by what authority the sentence quoted had been ma le a part of the declaration. Mr. Sherman said: “I believe the vice president of the United States declared ami exercised the constitutional power when he presided over the body today and counted the votes, and that his announcement of the vote is the conclusive end of all argument upon the question, and that in doing so he nut only gave his own opinion as the result of certain papers given to him, hut he made the only i constitutional declaration provided tor uml *r the existing law, ot who is to he President ol the United States after the 4th of March.” After remarks from .Messrs. Hoar, Lap ham, Wilson and Ingalls on the subject, the j chair (Kdmunds) said he regarded the Sen ate as in no waj responsible for the declar ation made by him. He had performed his constitutional duty ami had, on his own re sponsibility, made the declaration referred to. Mr. Ingalls offered the following resolu tion Resolved, That the Senate does not assent to the concluding declaration of the president of the Senate in the announcement of the the vote for President and Vice President ot the United States, made in the presence ot the two Houses of Congress this day. Mr Bayard—Let that go over until to morrow The resolution went over accordingly. Mr. Hoar offered the following: Whereas, The Senate having met the House ot Representatives in accordance with the fifth section of the act of March, 17'.*!?. relative to the election of the President and Vice President ot the United States, if the United States and electoral votes having been op. m il y the president of the Senate,in tin* prtsence of the t^o Houses of Congress and counted by the tellers appointed on the part of the two Houses, and it appearing that the whole number ot electors appointed to vote for the President ami Vice President of the United States is 401. of which the majority is 201, and it further appearing that Grover Cleveland ot New York had received 210 votes tor President of the United States, and that Th is. A. Hendricks of Indiana had re ceived 210 votes tor Vice President of the United States, which |n* a majority of the whole number of the electors appointed, and the same having been duly declared hy the president of the Senate in the presence of the two Houses, therefore. Resolved, That the Senate is of the opin ion that the constitution ami laws have been duly executed, ami that no further declara tion of these facts is necessary. Messrs. Conger and Ingalls—Let that stand over till tomorrow. It went over. The Senate resumed consideration of the bill to repeal the preemption and timber culture laws. Pending the discussion the Senate went into executive session and later adjourned. HOUSE. The galleries of the House w ere not opened until 10 15 this morning, and for a long time before that hour a crowd of spectators re mained persistently in the corridors, When admission w as at last allowed, visitors has tened in to secure choice of seats and in a few moments the galleries were filled and the steps were utilized for resting places. That portion of the gallery reserved for the fami lies and friends of Senators and Representa tives was occupied mainly by ladies, while the portion given up to the general public was almost exclusively filled with gentlemen. Mr. Townshend of Illinois, offered a reso lmion providing that during the remainder of the session the daily hour of meeting of the House shall be 11 o’clock. It was referred. Mr McMillan of Tennessee, offered a reso lution directing the door-keeper to admit to the floor lailies having tickets issued for num bers to the gallery during the joint session for counting the eleotorial vote. It was adopted. At a few minutes before Iff o'clock the speaker pro tem. requested the members to clear the first two rows of seats for the ac commodation of the Senators. The clerk was directed to inform the Senate that at twelve o'clock the House would be prepared to receive that body in conformity with the provisions of the concurrent resolu tion relating to the counting of the electorial votes. Mr. Edmunds, calling the assembly to or der, said: The two Houses of Congress have met in pursuance of the constitution and laws in the matter of counting the electorial votes for President and Vice President of the United States cast by the electors of the several States for the term commencing on the 4th of March 18S5. The tellers appointed by the two Houses will please take their places." Senators Hoar and Pendleton and Repre sentatives Clay and Keifer having taken their places at the clerk's desk. Mr. Edmunds said “The president of the Senate will open the certificates of the several States io alphabeti cal order, and now opens the certificate for the State of Alabama." He handed to the chairman of the tellers on the part of the Senate the certificate from Alabama received by mail and to the chair man of the tellers on the part of the House of Representatives the certificate received by messenger. The certificates were read by Senator Hoar who announced 10 electorial votes for Grover Cleveland and 10 electcriai vote? for Thomas A. Hendricks for Vice President. Mr. Sherman asked unanimous consent, that only the operative parts of the certificates be rea l, the formal parts being inspected bv the tellers. This was agreed to, aud only the statements of the votes cast were read, as follows States. Cleveland Blaine Alabama 20 Arkansas 7 California Colorado Connecticut 6 Delaware 3 Florida 4 Georgia 12 Illinois 22 Indiana 15 low* 13 Kansas y Kentucky 13 Louisiana Maine 0 Maryland Massachusetts 14 Michigan 13 Minnesota 7 j Mississippi y Missouri 16 Nebraska 5 Nevada 3 New Hampshire 4 New Jersey y New York 36 North Carolina 11 Ohio -23 Oregon 3 Pennsylvania 30 Khode Island 4 South Carolina y Tennessee 12 Texas 13 Vermont 4 Virginia 12 West Virginia 6 Wisconsin 11 Totals 210 182 The New York certificate was read by Mr. C»av of Kentucky, and as some vague rumors i were in the air that tr ouble would be made j about the counting of New York, a murmur of relief went up. The manifestation of ap plause was quicklv suppressed by Mr. E 1 munds. who ordered the sergeant-at arms to arr. st any gentleman or other person who disturbed the order of the proceedings. Mr Edmunds said: “I have now opened the certificates of the electors of all the States, ami their votes have been reported. The tellers will now make their computations and report the state of the vote.” After the tellers had devoted themselves to figuring for several minutes, Senator Hoar read and handed the result of their computa tions to the presiding officer, who said: “Senators and gentlemen of the House of Representatives, the tellers have reported to the presididg officer the state of tfie vote, from which it appears that Grover Cleveland of the State of New York has received 219 votes foi the office of President of the United States, and James G. Blaine of the State of 1 Maine has received 182 votes for the same office; that Thomas A. Hendrick* of the State of Indiana, has received 219 votes f ir the office ot Vice President of the Unit«»d State*, and that John A, Logan of the State of Illinois has received 182 votes for the same office. Wherefore, 1 do declare that Grover Cleveland of the State of Now York, has received a majority of the votes ot the j whole number of electors appointed, a* they appear in the certificates read by the tellers, and so appet r* to have been elected President of the United States for the four years com mencing on thd 4th day of March. 1885; and that Thomas A. Hendricks of the State of Indiana, ha* received a majority of the votes of the whole number of electors appointed, as they appear in the certificates read by the t- llers, and so appears to have been elected Vice President of the United States for the four year* commencing on the 4th day ofi M ircli. 1885; and a* president of the Senate I make fhis declaration only a* a public statement m the presence of the* two Houses of Congress of the contents of the papers opened and read on this occasion, and not as i possessing any authority in law to declare; any legal conclusion whatever.” Here the immense audience broke into ap plause and cheers. The Senate at 1.20 retired to its chamber, and the House took a recess tor 15 minut On the House being called to erder Mr. Keifer of Ohio offered a resolution reciting the result of the joint convention of the two houses, ami declaring it the sense of the House that the constitution and laws had been duly executed and that no further dec laration of these fact* is necessary. Mr. Springer of Ills., said it seemed from the announcement of the presiding officer of the joint convention there was no declaration of the vote. Contrary to all precedent the vice president had simply declared that it ap peared from the count made by the tellers that Grover Cleveland received a certain number of votes, but had disclaimed anv in- i tention to make any official declaration of the result of that vote. He preferred that the matter he referred to the judiciary commit tee with instructions to report such resolu tion as may be necessary for the purpose of making known the result of the election. Speaker pro tern.—The presiding officer of thr joint convention in making the announce ment of the vote announced the result that had been found and simply added the dis claimer of any authority on his part as pre siding officer of the Senate or of the joint convention to make anv declaration at all. Mr. Springer—I move that the whole mat ter be referred to the judiciary committee. Speaker—In the judgment of the chair the declaration made by the presiding officer was exactly what it should have been. Mr. Springer—I have not asked the speak er for hi* opinion. 1 desire to state my own. Speaker—The chair, acting as officer rep resenting the House in joint convention, would have made a protest if anv improper declaration by the presiding officer*had been delivered. Mr. Randall of Pa., said that the vote of the electors had been announced and that any ministerial proceeding was not essential to the main fact that Grover Cleveland had been elected Mr. Springer withdrew his motion and Mr. Cox of New York, stating that the constitu tion declared who had been elected Presi dent and Vice President, moved to lay the resolution on the table; agreed to—135 to 115. Mr. Clay of Kentucky then offered the fol lowing concurrent resolution “Resolved, That three members of the House of Representatives and two members of the Senate, to he appointed by that body, to wait on Grover Cleveland and notify him that he has been duly elected President of the United States, and also to notify Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana that he has been duly elected Vice President.” Agreed to. The House went into committee on the post office appropriation bill. Mr. Horr ot Mich., offered an amendment increasing from 84.100.000 to 84.535,000 the appropriation for the letter carrier system agreed to. Pending further action the committee rose and at 5.20 the House adjourned until 12 to morrow. Vice President-elect Hendricks and party smted in Cincinnati Wednesday morning from New Orleans. Tbe second case against Judge Advocate General Swaim came up before the general i court martial Wednesday. FOREIGN NEWS ANOTHER BLOW TO ENGLAND. Death ot Gen. Earle—Italy to As «i-t England—Doubts of Gen. Gor don'- Death—Gordon'- Fore warning— sUak mi-Iter bo r Kailway—Offi cial Appoint ments. London. Feb. 12 Gen. Earle was killed Tuesday, during the storming of the enemy's position at Birti. London, Feb. 12. An account of the death ot Gen. Eari dated Korti. says: Gen. Earle was killed in an action Tuesday. The fight occurred near the Nile, a tew miles above Pulka Island. The Arabs had fortified the pass and had built a small fort on the left bank of the river. When Gen. Earl and his forces reached the pass they were subjected to a heavy fire from the field guns, which tiie Arabs had placed in commanding positions General Earl had no artillery. and commanded the troops to charge. It was more of a scramble than a charge, but the Arabs were driven from the heights at the point of the bayonet and fell back slow ly toward the river. All that remained to be captured was a little fort on the river bank As the British column advanced it was met by a steady and well directed fire from be hind the Arab fort and many men of the attacking party were killed. Gen. Earle again ordered his men to charge and placed himself at the head of the column. He was killed during this charge. The fort was ultimately captured but at a terrible cost. In addition to Gen. Earle, 3 officers and men were killed and 35 wounded. The cabinet met at 11 o'clock this morn ing and is still in session. Gen. Wolseley telegraphs to the govern ment that the scouts who w« re sent to Khar toum have returned. They confirm the re- i P»rt of the killing of Gen. Gordon and the atrocities committed in Khartoum by the j Malidi’s men. Military experts declare that Gen. Wolse- j ley has the cream of the army w ith him. and that it is impossible to place 5000 men tit tor active service in the field. Severe criticism is ma le upon Gen. Wolseley’s management of military affairs, and charges are made openly of all sorts of abuses in various dc partments. Home, Feb. 11. Negotiations between the British and Ital ian governments, with a view to Italian co operati -n in the Soudan, still proceed. Cheva alier Nigra, Italian ambassador at London, ha* been instructed to assure Lord Granville of the confidence that Italy has in the power of England to crush rebellion in the Soudan and to recognize Egypt, and to state that Italy is willing to occupy with her troops strategic posts so a* to enable England to mass tier forces against those of the Mahdi. Bkkmn, Feb. 11 Italy’s active movement on the Red S»*a Littoral have thoroughly irritated Germany. The consequence of the new and unexpected movement l»v the Italian government lias been the knitting of an entire cordiale between France and Germany. London, Feb. 11. The w ar office refuses to officially confirm the dispatch which states that Gen. Wolseley has telegraphed to the government that scouts sent to Khartoum to ascertain the fate of General Gordon, returned w ith proof of his death. The Standard only refuses to believe that Gen Gordon is d**ad ami clings to the la-i shadow ot hope that lie mav he a prisoner or may even have escap' d to the south. Gen. Gordon, before his departure on his mission to London, told a personal friend, who now make* the story public, that he en tertained a presentment that lie would never return from Khartoum, and in pursuance of his belief in the presentment which covered him with its shadow before he started, (ten. Gordon actually bestowed on his chosen friends all his trinkets and mementoes. The government has decided to accept the temporary services of a limited number ot officer-* of the militia and rescue forces. It is announced that the project of con structing a narrow guage railway between Suakim and Berber, will he adopted bv the war office. An English firm of contractors offer to undertake and complete the con struction of the road within a fortnight, by the use of manufactured sections of rail lengths The following official announcements were msile today Lord Roseberry has been ap pointed Lord Privy Seal and also first com mander of public works. Both Lord Rosebery and Mr. Shaw Lefe vre, Postmaster General, will occupy seats in the cabinet. Gen. Graham has been appointed to com mand the Suakim-Berher expedition. f»en. Freemantle will command the Guards and Gen. Greaves act as Chief Staff. The contingent from India to take part in the Suakim-Berher expedition has been raised to 3000 men. Gen. Hudson will command the contingent, which is expected to arrive at Suakim several days before the Guards reach there. The cabinet, today, approved Gen. Wols eley’* plan for the early advance from Sua kim to Berber. It is calculated that the ad vance will begin about the 3d week in March and it is hoped that berber will be reached in six week* There is still slight ground for hoping that Gen Gordon is still alive No eye witness of his death is mentioned The Australian Vice Consul ami 20 Greeks do not believe the story of the massacre at Khar toum It i« known that the Mahdi holds 50 Greek* as prisoners, either in his camp or at El Obeid. and that they are well treated. annual report Ol the f ivil Service Commission Sent to Congress. Washtx'.tos Feb. II. The second annual report of the civil ser vice commission, covering a period from Jan. 16. 1664. to Jan. 16, 1665, was sent to Congress by the President, today. It says that civil service has been found practicable and effective for the accomplishment of its purpose. During the year persons have been examined from every State and Territory ex cept Idaho. On* hundred and sixty-two ex aminations have been held and 6347 persons have been examined, of whom 5525 were males, and 622 females. Of those examined 4141 passed at the grade, showing them com petent for public service, snd 2206 failed. The average age of ail those examined was nearly 30 years. The report states in detail the education of 5556 of those examined as follows 3920 in common schools 1960 in high scoots and academies; 91 in part in business colleges: 449 in part in colleges. More than 70 per cent of them, therefore, had only common school education Tbs whole number of appointments made under the commission has been 2322. The rejmrt declares that the commission has no reason to believe that any discrimination has been made in these appointments, and posi tivelv asserts that none has been made in i connection with examinations. EXPLOSION FIRE. tiulent Explosion iu a .Mine in .Nova Scotia—A Xamber ot Men Killed and Mounded. Halifax. X. Feb. U. At nine o'clock last night an explosion oc curred in the old jut of the Vale t'ollierv at Westville. The seven* storm of yesterday and last night seriously interierred with the telegraphic service and little more than the bare tact of the casualty is obtained. Xkw Glasgow. X S Feb. 11. The following details have been gathered about the mine disaster last night: About 9.45 a violent explosion occurred at Vale Colliery in the new slope which was being >unk at McBean seam, and the flames from the burning gas came rushing up the main slope. There are supposed to have been ID men in the pit at the time of the explosion After several eflorts a rescuing party suc ceeded in reaching a party of seven men. who were brought to the surface alive, and. with the exception of a few trifling bruises, none were injured. Shortly before daylight three bodies were found and brought up. The names of the killed were, John A. Camp bell, John Cameron and John Kennedy. Phillip Mi Bean, stableman, is known to he dead, but his body is still in the livel. All the horses, nine in number, were killed out right. The damage to the mine is not nearly so great as*flrst supposed. There was great excitement in the vicinity. The mine em ployes 4tX) men and the exact number in the mine at the time of the xplosion has not been positively ascertained. It is now definitely ascertained that 22 men were in the colliery at the time of the explosion. Ot this number 1.1 perished, the others had been taken out alive, some badly injured. Most of the victims leave large families. The explosion took place about 2000 feet from the surface. What cause is not vet known. The manager of the mine and others at tribute the explosion to the sudden opening or coming up on a heavy feeder ot gas which rushed out and was at once ignited by the lamps carried in the caps ot the men, w ho used only ordinary lamps instead of safety because ot the entire absence ot any suspic ion of the existence of gas in that locality. 1 lie Vale seams have been operated since 1871 and during all that time no accident of any moment has occurred from explosions, and excepting the fatality 10 years ago when a cage containing a number of men broke lose, killing six of them, the Vale colliery has been free from disaster. The wounded men are doing well ami are out ot immediate danger, with one or two exceptions. AXOTIIKK M ARK. Suspicious Looking llox Found Near Um* Residence ot the Lieut. Gover nor ot itnitdH.

The bill denominated “An act to provide for the organization of Mutual Kelief Asso ciations" now on the Senate table in the Maine Legislature is creating a great stir in Lewiston and Auburn. Nothing of equal in terest to the many persons in these two cities who are interested in assessment in surance has of Into occurred. The first copy of the bill as reported from the committeee was received in Lewiston Saturday morning I in imperfect copy. The full text of the bill was received on Monday. The upholders and supporters of the many Relief Insurance associations in these two cities have read the bill as a menace to their organisations. Since Saturday little else has been talked in the circles of those interested. Monday a call was issued for a meeting to be held Tuesday evening at Golden Cross Hall, in Lewiston. Tuesday evening the meeting was held, and a pretty vigorous meeting it was. alth uigh perfectlv unanimous in sentiment and trtv in its union.

In England no persons except employes are allowed to walk on the tracks of rail I j ways. The Megantic Railroad matter is amicably settled for the present. The amendment introduced by Mr. Heath, passed the House yesterday. The '‘oldest inhabitant” is unable to re member a time when the streets of Au gusta presented so deplorable a condition as they did on Tuesday and Wednesday. Tne formality of eonnting the votes for j President and Vice President of the United j States, for four years from March 4th, I next, was completed yesterday in the presence of the Senate and House. j A Washington Democrat who saw Mr. Cleveland in New York last week, reports him as saying that he “did not purpose re moving any republican official who had been faithful and attentive to his duties, and whose administration of his office was satisfactory to the public who were immediately concerned. When the terms ot such officers expired, he expected, of course, to till their places with good men of his own party.” There will be rebellion in the democratic wigwam if this state ment be true. The bill for the erection of :i public building in this city, was first introduced in the Senate, in January, 1882, by Mr. Hale. It was then referred to the Com mittee on Public Buildings. Early in February Postmaster Manley of this city appeared before the committee and fur nished the committee reasons and argu ments why the bill should pass. The day after the hearing the committee unani mously recommended the passage of the bill. It passed the Semite, and was taken in charge in the House by our late repre sentative, Mr. Lindsey, who urged it with great persistence, but owing to his illness I the bill failed of a passage. In December, 188:5, upon the assembling of the present Congress, Mr. Hale again introduced the bill in the Senate, which it passed at an early day, and went to the House, where it was taken in charge of by our able and efficient member of Congress, Hon. Seth L. Milliken. Mr. Milliken has urged the passage of this bill before the committee and before the House, and finally succed ed yesterday, in securing its passage. Much credit is due to Senators Hale and Frye, and to Representatives Milliken and Boutelle, also to the indefatigable labors of Postmaster Manley, for securing the passage of the bill. B. H.

He regarded the college as the best in the State for the instruction of the young men of to-day for the practical work of life, and would deeply regret any action that would retard its progress. Mr. Stubbs said the committee was pre pared for a discussion of the bill to-day; but as one item in the resolve might be dispensed with if the bill for an experiment station was passed, he would suggest a postponement of consideration of the measure. Mr. Marble had no objections to a post ponement. and on his motion the subject was laid on the table, and Tuesday next at 11 o’clock was specially assigned for its consid eration.

On motion of Mr. Case of Rockland, House document No 51, an act to amend chap. 541 of the private laws of 1871, entitled an act to incorporate the Penobscot and Lake Me gantic Railroad Company, as amended by chap. 65 of th private laws of 1661, was tak'-Mi from the table. Mr. Case then said that, as an amendment had been prepared by the gentleman from Augusta, [Mr. Heath] to he offered at the proper stage of tile bill, and which would be satisfactory to the minority, lie would, there fore. withdraw the minority report. On motion of Mr. Heath it was voted to suspend the rules. Mr. Heath said that on Monday he hail given notice that he would offer an amend ment to the bill which would now be found with House document No. 51. lie now found there should he three changes in the amend ment, one to correct the language, one to give the International Company authority to build the proposed branch line, and another change which he would explain later. The amendment had not yet been offered; he hail simply given notice on Monday lie should offer an amendment. The first change i« as follows; In toe fourth line of the amendment, strike out the word build." and insert in its place the words “constructed and completed,” so that the sentence shall read, “and provided, also, that said bridges shall not he constructed and completed, until there be constructed and completed a rail road,” etc The other two changes are at the end of the amendment. In the Uth line, change so as to read, “such branch line to be constructed in a manner equal to that of the main line of the said Bangor and Piscataquis Railroad,” instead of “the main line of the International Railway," and then add at the end, “and said International Railway Com pany is hereby authorized to construct said branch.’' Mr. Heath said that the question had been raised that there was nothing in the bill to authorize the International Railway to construct this branch line, and he had added that clause to remedy the objection. Mr. Heath explained the effect of the changes made in the amendment, and thought that they were satisfactory to both sides. Mr. Heath said that he did not wish to occupy the time in any discussion. Imt would like to meet one objection which lie had heard raised in the various dis cussions outside of the hail of legislation in regard to the matter Probably no other matter before the legis lature has occasioned so much discussion among the members as this matter of bridg ing Moosehead Lake. The proposition to re quire the building of a branch line was not one which had ever been laid before the Com mittee on Railroads by either side, and was not one considered by that committee, so that no discourtesy was shown them. This is a new and an independent question. In common with every member of this House, whose aim is to legislate for the interest of the S'ate, he had listened to these discussions and had en deavored to obtain for himself what informa tion he could to enable him to arrive at a wise and just conclusion. He recognized that there were important arguments on both sides he recognized the fact that the city of Bangor had tile right to ask some protection from this Legislature. He could but recog nize, too, the great fact that this corporation was knocking at the west line of the State for admission, and asking for permission to build a great trunk line across this State. He had weighed the arguments upon both sides, and had come to the conclusion that this amendment is fair, that it is just, that it is right, and certainly is all the city of Bangor can ask. The argument has been used that the bridging of the lake would interfere with the lumbering interests in that section. We can well pardon our good friends of Bangor for making their arguments as weighty as possible He did not think the lumbering interests in that section would object to the bridging of the lake where it was proposed to bridge, for hut little lumbering is done there now. So that the only argu ment Bangor had to rest upon, was its claim to a right to have its railroad connection. Mr. Heath referred to the heavy debt in curred by Bangor and surrounding towns in constructing the Bangor and Piscataquis road to Greenville, relying upon the Mogan tic road to fulfil the moral obligation con tained in its charter to meet them there, anil spoke of the relations existing between the two enterprises. The object of the Megantic road was to obtain the shortest and most direct route. It was not a question of expense with them, hut a question of distance, in or der to better their chances of obtaining the great subsidy to be given to that railway com pany which should build the shortest and most practicable route from Montreal to connect with St. .John and Halifax. Mr Heath said he would admit that this was an unparalleled condition to put upon a railroad charter, and legislation in the State of Maine affords no precedent. This is not a matter between two sets of business men. it is a matter between the Bangor and Piscata quis road upon one side, a road built by towns and cities on one side, a quasi govern ment road, a road of municipalities at any rate, and upon the other side a road being built by gentlemen who only hope that they may he abie to get it by obtaining a large subsidy from the government of Canada, so it is practically a matter between two government roads as it were, one built by the Dominion of Canada, and a road built by Maine municipalities, snd it is aim ply asked to preserve the moral obligation of the charter. Mr. Littlefield of Rockland, said that he would call attention to to the words “at its northern terminus in said Greenville,” in line 9 of the proposed amendment. That inas much as it is obvious that this connection may be inconvenient and perhaps unneces sarily expensive for the road which is to con struct the connecting road, he would suggest inserting the words “or near” so that this section of the amendment may read,” a con nection of the same guage be made with the Bangor and Piscataquis Railroad at its north ern terminus in or near said Greenville.” Mr. Heath replied that he would accept the THE SENATE And House of liepresentatives oi Maine contain this year a large number or good liver, t seasoned food, taken by those who do not have abundant physical exercise is sure la ke hl*bly Troubles.
