two hundred cars twelve locomo-

already at Colon and the remainder
is ou the way. The storehouses at
Colon cover an area of 1400 metres
and are full. Five barges and two
steamboats are plying upon the
Chagrcs river. Another steamboat
at Panama is used for hydrographic
surveys of the bay. The adjoining
proviuccs will lurnit.h more laborers

of the people employed is stated not
to be as bad as has been reported.
A commercial commission has
been appointed by the Mexican gov-
ernment for the purpose of consid-
ering the convenience and inconven-
ience of the present treaty with the
United States aud suggesting il
necessary a modification. They
will study the question of national
jurisdiction iu the matter of a viola-
tion of the treaty and the feasibility
of granting a bounty for the expor-
tation of Mexicau products. They
will also consider different matters
pertaining to the customs aud ad-
vantages if any of a union with the
United States. A sensational dis-
patch has been received from Mazat-
lan stating that 200 Americans are
preparing to iuvade the state of
Sinaloa and tiiat they are the ad-
vance guarjl of a marauding expedi-
tion. The arrest ot Parnell appears to
have been more on the ground of
suspicion than of fact. He was to
speak at Kildarc and the authori-
ties assuming that lie would not
confine himself to regulation took
time by the forelock and placed him
into custody. This act will cer-
tainly destroy the influence of the
supporters of the land bill if it does
uot absolutely drive them into the
ranks of the agitators. It
will iiriensify the felling'of Irish na-
tionality and unite the Irish people
as they have not beeu united since
the introduction of the land act in
parliament. The Irish leaders who
have counseled patience and mode-
ration will perhaps be compelled
to admit that nothing in the way of
justice to Ireland cau be expected
imloss it be wrung from the" British
government. Another ugly feature
of this act is that It has the appear-
ance of a piece of parsonal 'spite on
on the part of Gladstone. lie re-
cently in a public speech denounced
Parnell; the latter retorted in kind
and within a few days afterwards
Parnell is imprisoned not for what
he has done but for what he might
do or say. The once powerful in-
tellect of Gladstone is certainly be-
coming enfeebled by age when it
does not guard him against the com-
mission of such a blunder. It is
simply a repetition of English blun-
dering in the so-called governing of
Ireland.

The railroad question absorbs
public atteution It is held that the
doctrine of freedom of contract docs
not at present apply to the question
since there is no freedom on the
part of shippers who must accept
railroad terms. Social aud com-
mercial relations compel the people
to use railways no matter how ar-
bitrary the conditions laid down by
the corporation. Therefore it is
contended that governments must
interfere iu behalf ol the pcopleaud
Ttwas upou this principle that Mas-
sachusetts Georgia and Alabama
aud one or two other states adopted j
the plan of controlling the railways
by state commissioners. These have
worked admirably and under such
administration mutual relations of
friendship have been established be-
tween peoplo and the corporations
and the country have quieted all
disputes as to the power belonging to
states to thus control the railways
The lejral status of the irovernmeut
was clearly established in the gran-
ger cases iu the west when the
United States supreme court held :
"Whfeu one devotes his property to
a use in which the public has an in-
terest he in effect grants to the
public an interest in that use and
must submit to be controlled by the
public for the common good to the
extent of the interest he has thus
created." The power of the general
government to regulate railways is
therefore not questioned aud iu
time congress should pass a law
that should be of vast ad-
vantage to the eutirc community.
The power to regulate commerce
is vested iu congress by the consli-
tutiou of the United States ; but to-
day that power is usurped by the
railroads not for public beuctit but
in the interest of combinations. So
aggressive have these corporations
grown and so bold arc iliey iu
maintaining their illegal position
that the issue forced upou cougress
is that a failure of the govern men t
now to control ouc of the most im-
portant of human interests is a vir-
tual surrender to private corpora-
tions and a confession of its inabil-
ity to protect the people. Congress
can deal with this question aud
while it does not state legislatures
are left alone to attempt the remedy.
.r m m m
C. P. HuNTiNOTON"suanie appears
now as a director in Western Uuiou
and the fact may be taken as evi-
dence that the Gould aud Hiinting-
tou interests are to be placed iu
harmony. It is said that the suits
lately instituted by the Texas aud
Pacific against the Southern Pacific
have been withdrawn aud that a
harmonious connection is to be
made by these two roads. The re
suit will be that the Wabash system
will be connected with the Ceutral
Pacific but it leaves the Union Pa-
cific without an independent west-
ern connection. Tho natural inquiry
therefore in Texas will be what
will be done as to the extention of
the Southern Pacific in this direc-
tion as also the talked of Hunting-
ton road from Memphis to Houston.
The opiniou prevails that the friend-
ly relations thus appearing to be es-
tablished between the two great
railway managers who have hereto-
fore been working adversely to
each other will temporarily at
least stop the extention of the two
lines referred to. By an amicable
adjustment the Southern Pacific
will have an outlet through
the. Texas and Pacific
and the New Orleans Pacific and
there will thus be no immediate ne-
cessity for the line for Memphis aud.
the one down the ' Rio Grande.
However Mr. Pierce is building his
line towards the west apparently
having been induced to do so by the
managers of the Southern Pacific
and it the relations between Hunt-
ington aud Gould be such as they
are supposed to be the road beyoud
San Antonio must go begging for
an outlet unless it be that some of
the Mexicau railways meet it at
Eagle Pass. No matter what the
conclusions be the south and Texas
are not to suffer by them for every-
thing jnst now points to grander
southern transcontinental systems
than has ever been carried out
through the northern and eastern
states. The Erlanger system ou the
other side of the Mississippi will
tap the Gould and Huntington
transcontinental system in. Texas
and will lead towards the establish-
ment of a great southern port on the
eastern seaboard while new Or-
leans must become one of the most
important commercial centers on
tha American continent. The Texas
Pacific will soon connect with the
Southern Pacific at El Paso while
theM. K. &T the Iron Mountain
and the Little Rock and Fort Scott
railways all a part of Jhe Missomi
Pacitic.will pour into Texas the vast
moviug populations of the north-
ern and middle states. The Texas
systems by these combinations will
be directly connected under the
same organization with the Wabash
and Chesapeake and Ohio railways
and tbe thoroughfares for Atlantic
and the Pacific systems north and
south- must be through Texas.
With every move on the chess board
the game is a winning one for
Texas and her destiny grows with
every point In the development of
the game
Garfield's death came in time to
save uhio to the Republicans.
CAB1S15T INTKIGUES.
It is said that Secretary Blaine has
exhausted every species of intrigue
aud every device iu strategy to re-
tain his position in the cabinet aud
when he goes out it must be at the
direct iuvitation of the president.
A Washington letter writer says :
"After the inauguration of Presi-
dent Art hur all the members ot Gar-
field's cabinet placed their resigna-
tions in the hands ot the new presi-
dent as a usual matter of form and
.the president put them in his pocket
intending to hold them until there-
ports of the departments were pre-
pared for congress and the star
route prosecutions developed.
Thereupon Secretary Blaine beaau
to labor to induce the president to
baud back all the resignations as a
matter of compliment to Garfield's
cabinet who were holding over to
do Arthur's work at a great personal
sacrifice as for instance iu Wiu-
do m's case. Taking this line of ar-
gument Secretary lilaine also caused
it to be intimated to the president
that he had been misrepresented as
to his personal enmity to Coukliug
in the cabinet. The president who
is very politic was considerably im-
pressed by these representations.
He expressed tm Blaine's emissary his
satisfaction at the message iu regard
(o Coukliug and his appreciation of
the services of the cabinet. These
pourparler's proceeded aud ouly a
good opportunity was ueeitca to se-
cure the success ol Blaine's plot aud
the chivalous return by the presi-
dent of all tho cabinet resignations.
But now another agency inter
vened and upset Blaine's scheme.
That agency was Wayne Mac Veagh
the attorney general."
The. whole of the cabinet have
been jealous of Blaine who. iu their
opinion lias pushed himself into
undue prominence at their expense
and has assumed the authority ot
an acting president without consult-
ing them his equal colleagues as
to his action. Wayne MacYeagh
represented not only the general
feeling but a personal animosity
toward Blaiue w hose tracks he hail
uncovered during the hi vest j;:ii ions
for the star route prosecutions mid
whom he more than suspected of
beinir opposed to the course of the
government iu those cases. Mae
V"eusU' secret confident and onso-
ciate was Secretary Wiudom who
had also had Ins suspicious aroused
by tho fact that financial informa
tion communicated bv him to
Blaine had been used by Jay Gould
in tho New York stock market.
Wiudom was moreover desirous that
his resignation should be accepted
immediately so that ho might be
re-elected to the senate from Minne
sota and he not only agreed with
MacVeagh to oppose Blaine's plan
of a return of the resignations but
he actually gave MacYea;h the in
formation which assisted him to lay
Blaine out cold forever in Presi
dent Arthur's estimation.
MacYeagh went to the president
aud told him that rumors were iu cir-
culation that the resignations were
to be returned ; that it this were
true both Wiudom and himself
must decline to receive their resig-
nations back again ; that as this
would break all the force of a gen-
eral compliment it would place the
president iu the politiou of reap-
pointing the other members of the
cabinet. He declared that he was
authorized by Secretary Wiudom
to say that under no circumstances
would he retain his cabinet scat.
For himself he added with equal
emphasis that there was no more
work to be doue in regard to the
star route prosecutions; that the
matter was in the hands of the dis-
trict attorney and thut he prefer-
red lo leave the cabinet at once.
The president surprised at the
peremptory tone of MacYeagh ask-
ed if this decision was final. Mac-
Yeagh then adroitly turned the
conversation from general lo par-
ticular topics by asserting that he
had bad enough of Blaine aud
would uot remain in any cabiuet ot
which ho was a member. This
forced tho president to put directly
the very interrogatories which Mac-
Yeagh expected aud desired aud he
promptly unloaded upon the presi-
dent the whole budget of suspicions
whirh had been talked over by
V iiiilout and himself. The prcsi-
d.ut then asked for proofs and for
nioi'u definite information which
MacYeagh promised to furnish him
within a week.
During that week. Secretary
Blaine unsuspicious of the doible
game which Wiudom was playing
had a loug conversation with him
about the course ot finances. With-
out couiniitliug himself lo any di-
rect 8talemciii Wiudom allowed
Blaiue 10 iuler that the treasury
would call for . $25000000 instead o'f
$10000000 of bonds uud would thus
flood Wall street with money.
Strangely enough no sooner had
Blaiue received this impression
than Jay Gould was similarly im-
pressed and speculated accordingly.
The information was a trap design-
ed by Wiudom aud MacVeagh to
catch Bluiue and it caught him.
MacVeagh went toJewVork uud
put the presidcut iu lull possession
of the lacts which were corrobo-
rated upou the speculative aspect of
the matter by well kuowu members
of the stock exchange. Thereupon
the president took the resignations
from his pocket put thoin iu his
safe uud metaphorically handed
MacYeagh the key.
" You may rely upon it" said the
president " that not one of the cabi-
uet resignations will be returned or
allowed to be withdrawn."
With this assurauce MacYeagh re-
turned to Washiugtou uud Wiudom
immediately begau to lay the wires
for his re-electiou iu Miuuesola. The
scandal began to be whispered about
ainoug the members ot the cabiuet
and soon reached the ears of Blaine
through oue of his intimates. Then
and not till then did Blaiue an-
nounce his intention of leaving the
cabinet. In fact his more open ene-
mies hint that he canuot remain iu
the cabinet without being subjected
to a congressional investigation.
They .state that he is involved iu
many speculations and that his
name has been put down for shares
without auy pecuniary equivalent
but solely ou accouut of his official
position. This is the credit mobilier
game over again and it Blaiue re-
mains in politics he will have to uu-
dergo auother ordeal by fire aud
have another suustroke.
Such is the secret history of the
break-up of the Garfield cabinet.
The ouly chapters missing are those
which show liow Coukliug worked
"the bulge" upou Blaiue. A recon-
struction of' the cabiuet is certain
before January and President Ar-
thur has in his possession the docu-
ments which will prevent Blaiue
from ever being a presidential can-
didate again. . B.

o'clock this morning the French aud
German delegates escorted by Sec-
retary Blaiue were received by

cock and staff aud the distinguished

which and the singing of the 1'oiu-
dexter centennial" hymn Secretary
Blaiue introduced President Arthur
who addressed the assembled mul-
titude. He was followed by Max
Outrey French minister ou behalf
of the French delegation.
THE PRESIDENT S SPEECH AT YORK-
TOWN. President Arthur said : One hun-
dred years ago our forefathers
brought to a successful issue their
heroic struggle for independence
here and then was established as
we trust and made seen re on this
continent for ages yet to come that
principle of government which is
the very fibre of our political sys-
tem. The sovereignty of the peo-
ple the resentments which at-
tended aud for a time survived
the clash of arms have loug ceased.
It is with no feeling of exultation
over n defeated foe that to-day
we summon up the remembrance
of thoso eveuts which have made
it holy ground whereon wo
tread. Surely no such unwor-
thy sentiment could find a har-
bor iu the hearts so profoundly
thrilled with expression of sorrow
and sympathy which' our national
bereavement has evolved from the
people of Englaud and their august
sovereign but it is altogether fitting
that we should gather here to re-
fresh our souls with contemplation
of the unfaltering patriotism the
sturdy zeal aud sublime faith which
achieved the results we now
commemorate. So if we learn the
lesson of the hour shall we be
incilcd to transmit to the genera-
tion which shall follow the precious
legacy which our fathers left to us
the love ot liberty prompted by tiie
love of that historic scene which wc
here celebrate. No feature is more
prominent and none more touching
than the participation of our gallant
allies from across the sea. It was
their presence which gave fresh and
vigorous impulse to the hopes ol
our countrymen when well nijjh dis-
heartened by a long series ol disas
ters. It was their noble and gener-
ous aid extended in the darkest
period of the struggle which sped
the coming of our triumph and made
capitulation at Yorktown possible
a century ago. To their descendants
and representatives who are here
present as honored guests of the nr-
tion it is my glad duty to offer
a cordial welcome lou have
a right to share with us
the associations which cluster about
the day when your fathers fought
side by side with -our fathers iu the
cause which was here crowucd with
success and none of the memories
awakened bv this anniversary arc
more grateful to us all than the re-
tied ion that the national friendship
here so closely cemented half out-
lasted the mutations of a changeful
century. God grant my country-
nieu that they may ever remain un-
.shakeu and that ever henceforth
with ourselves aud with all the na-
tions of the earth may we be at
peace.
The president was not interrupt-
ed during the delivery of his speech
but there was great enthusiasm at
its close.
