CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE.
< ??
CaibO, Nov. 15. 1879.
The excitement about the removal ot Cloopatra'a
Needle it gradually subsiding. The quiet but determined
attitude of Lieutenant Commander (ior
riutfu. together with tbo presence of an American
vessel of war?the Enterprise?within gunshot of
the obelisk, has cooled down the effervescing tempers
of the Alexandrines. Any attempt to prevent
the obelisk louring Alexandria is highly improbable,
but tho Eta!'- of public opinion here is such that the
Egyptian government has felt obliged to publish a
j ustillontiou of its action. The Mouiteur Kyyplitn,
the official journal, consequently printed "by order"
au article, of which the following is a translation:?
The gift to the city of New York of the obelisk
known us the "Cleopatra's Needle" has caused so
much comment snd criticism that the government
due nib it to bo its duty to bring to the kuowlcdgo of
the public for its edification the facts relative to
this Kilt, established by the following documents

EXTRACT >'BOM THE RECORD OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF
THE COUNCIL OK MINISTERS, SEPTEMUEB U\), 1879.
Mia Excellency tho Minister of Foreign Affair* said that
the press had recently published many articles concerning
the Cleopatra's Noodle anil had expressed it* deep regret
that thin monument had boon ceded by the government ?f
the Khedive to the government of the United States of
America, which latter government baa made a demand fur
it.
His Excolloncy the Prosident of the Council (Risi
Pacha) said that when the agent and Oonkitl General of
tnu United States made the request for the gift of tlio obelisk.
M. I. liliguii-ros, then Miuistor of Public
YVoiSts, cousulted Marriotts Bey. TUa latter replied
in terms which expressed the greatest pain
at the idea of seeiug Egypt deprived of its glorious monuments,
of which only a small Dumber loinain. The Council
thou decided not to give up the only oDoiialc which
remained at Alexandria. Ilia Excellency the Minister of
Foreign Affairs said tlint another r^i'uest was subsequently
made by the Consul Ueiioral ot the Culled States, airl this
second demand was favorably received by Ills Highness
tile ox-Khedivo, and that 111 consequence Mis Excellency
Cherif Pacha, then Minister of Foreign Attain, announced
to the United States Consul Ueneral that the gift had been
made. The United States government then Intrusted to
one of its officers the task of transporting the oboitsk.
This officer will soon arrive to take possession of the monument.
The Council decides that the documents concerning this
question, particularly the previous decision of the Council
on this subject, be collected and submitted to the Council
in order lb see if some way may not bo found to excuse
themselves to the United States government and to retain
the obelisk in the city which possesses it.
EXT11ACT FROM THE IlECORD OF PROCEEDINGS OF THX
COUNCIL OF MINISTERS OCTOBER HO, 1879.
The procht verbal of the proceedings of Council of Ministers
of March '25, 1H79, relating to the demand made
by tho United States governhient for the ubeliak was read.
The letter of Cherif Pacha, dated May, W7H, to the
United States Consul Uenural, announcing tliut the
obelisk had been giveu to the United States government to
ornament the city ot New York, was also read.
ills Excellency the President of the Council said that
His Highness the Khedive found himself, under these circumstances,
obliged to conllrm this gift. The
Council doiide* that, in consideration of iho facta,
and ot the impossibility of revoking the gift. It yields with
regret to the uece*sltr of surrendering tne obelisk 411 quostlun.
The Council, nevertheless. decides that henceforth
00 Egvptiau monument should bo coded to any foreign
liuwur or to auy city whatever that does uot forut part of
Egyptiau territory.
FOItCK OF PUBLIC OPINION.
The publication by the government of the above
article shows witii what force public opinion in this
country now actH upon the Ministers, who find
themselves obliged to confirm with ouch bail grace
tbe gilt made by Ismail Pacha. It should be borne in
miud that tbe present Kbedive is placed in a very
difficult position, l'orsoually be regrets that Egypt
should lose the obelisk. This is natural, llut the
gift being made I know that tbe Kbedive'a desire
wit* tbat tbe matter should bo completed in the same
spirit it wus commenced?with entire good will and
friendship. The Alexandrian Jews und bankers,
however, have prevented this. The value of the
obelisk which they have neglected for so many years
lias just dawned upon them, and their feeliugs on
the subject are shown by tbe Alexandrian presa.
The Egyptian newspaper called the i'ounu Egypt
proposes that as soon as the obelisk be removed by
Lieutenant Commander Gorriuge tbe land be purchased
by tbe city of Alexandria and a tomb stone be
Jilaced where the Cleopatra Needle stood, with the folowing
inscription In Arabic and French:?

THE BALLA MEETING.
{SCENES FROM THK GREAT DEMONSTRATION?
DEMPKKf's EVICTION CABB ? ARCHBISHOP
M'CAUE'H PASTORAL LETTER,
Dublin, Nov. 36, 1879.
Tbe Italia demonstration, which at the end of last
week was being looked forward to wlthao much
mingled fear and anxiety, took place last Haturday.
It was a very remarkable sceno; but happily everything
passed away without tbe violence which seemed
so imminent. The case, it may be remembered, was
that of a small farmer, Anthony Dempsey, a tenant
under Sir Robert Lynch lilosse, who, for owing a
year's rent, which he was utterly unable to pay, was
being evictod from his holding. The land had been
taken poHsctniou of by tho Hliuriit' on Thuraday,
November 13, but at the time the inau'a tether waa
lying 111 of fevor and four of hie children were
dowu with nieaelea. To put tboaa peraoua out
from tbo abetter of a bonne on to the doaolato hillaide
would hare been au act of aavagery from which
even tho caao-hardeucd ofllciala of au Iriah aheriiT
fthru.uk. 80 Dempaey waa allowed a weuk'a reapile,
with a warning that on the Saturday of the follow*
iug week, ill or well, ho aud hia rntut quit their
home. Thin waa the 11 ret eviction wMr'h would have
taken place in Mayo aince the firat commencement
of tho land agitatlou, nine montha ago. It, thorofore,
atlrmd up a conaldorablo commotion. It waa
reaolvad to hold A meeting on the accne, perhapa in
the hopo that the landlord would be thereby deterred
from carrying out 4iia purpoae. Mcantimo
Davitt and the other* were arreatod, ami the promoter*
of tho evictioti reiiolvcd to aupevadd to tho
original object alao a pioteat aguiuHt the arreatx.
Somehow a feeling aprang up with wonderful
rapidity that a criaia waa at hand. Tliia waa ot]ually
felt by tho local authoritioa?wag latralca, police,
Ac.?and by the people.
Hi Moiix or Tnorw.it.
All aorta of rtimore began to lly about. It waa
Raid that the meeting would be forcibly put down;
that the landlord would abandon the eviction; that
tho police would fire on the people; that the government
would alirink from the ruaponatbllitlea of a
colllaion. Oh Friday, the day before that Hied for
tho domonxtratioti, aa you have been already Informed,
an old militury oiHear warned Mr. Paruell
that he waa a marked man, and that in the event of
a disturbance he wonld at ouce bo picked off by
mark?meu apeciallr detailed for the purpoae. The
auiiin day, at Uaatlebar, in tho heart of Mayo, another
military oQli-er atated openly that the aoldlera
would be employed to dlapefM the nozt' ardltloua
moetlug which would be attempted and that the
leulera would bo remoraeJ*H*ly allot down. (Jn we
aw* Friday a rumor began to lank out?no on*
2CEMBEK 6, 1879.-W1TH
could or can even now fix on Ita loom?that the
eviction would be igklu postponed owing to the
personal interference of the Lord Lieutenant, the
Luke of Marlborough, who had wade au appeal to
the humanity of Hir liobert Bloase not to let thin
*< audal be perpetrated; but up to the very last mowent
everything .was wrapped iu uncertainty which
wight give rise to any thing, but which alao trying
the temper of the people to the utmost wight provoke
anything.
CHABAiTKBIhTIC PLACABP8.
Mr. Parnell hod promised to bo at the proposed
meeting, and he actually left Dublin at midnight by
special train and travelled down moat of the way.
But he did not come on to Balla till the morning
wax advanced. The morning ot Saturday opened
peacefully. But wagona ladeu with oonatablea from
distant stations aoou began to diaturb the stillness.
At uoon a column of one hundred men wan formed,
with their rides and bayonet*, and marched out to
Loonawore, the place of Deuipsey's holding, about
a mile and a half from Balla. It was rumored that
a troop of cavalry waa coming over from Ca?tlebar,
and would reach the scene of operations by two
o'clock. A placard was widely circulated daring the
morning addressed to the "Men of Mayo," and ini.vl,Ka
.. ..A ,^.,,...^.1
"The future ot our movement dopeads upon your
attitude this day. Give uo eaauuo for vlolance on
tlie part of the government, and our great
cause is won." Presently those long processions
ot farmers on horse and foot
which ban become tho regular accompaniment
of Mayo laud meetings began to ille into (ha town
on all sides with their banners. The chief contingents
were furnished by Ball*, Claremorris. Kiltluiugh
and Balliurobe. Oue large black standard bore
the inscription, "God rest our -martyred three" on
oue side, and 011 the other "In memorlam Allen,
Ltrkin and U'llrien." Others were inscribed, "Welcome,
Pai-null; No surrender," and various other
watchwords familiar in the movement. A great
number of lads bore imitation pikes and iunskets--a
rather childish display it must be contested. In the
town of Ba.la all thouo contingents were formed into
oue vast prouussiou to march to Demps^y's tarm at
Luouainore. That procession was oue of the most
remarkable yet seen In this agitation. The meu
were formed four deep in a dense column
spread over the wholo mile and a half of road
between the town aud farm. Some horsemen rode
along the flanks, acting as orderlies. As they denied
past the house of Sir Uobcrt mouse's agent u cry
of "Three groans for the tyrauts" passed along
front rank to rauk. A band was stationed near the
houi* tor the greater part of the day, playiug almost
continuously the "Dead March" from "Saul." How
the inmates were to bo pitied!
AT DKMPHEY's FARM.
Dempsoy's farm is situated on the crest of a steep
hill, overlooking for more than a mile the Balla
road. When tho head of the procession reached the
foot of the hill the Held* overhead Were seen to bo
full of armed policemen, who fall into rank at tho
approach of the procession. The Intentions ot
the police were, even then, In considerable
doubt. Mr, Parncli and the leaders were
the first to scale the hill. They were
Informed by Dempsey that the Sheriff had promised
to give him rnyre time. The police had been
by this time drawn up in a body at the rear of the
house tinder command ot Major Wyse, tt. M., Castlebar.
An old Irish "ruth" which stands on the brow
of the hill, within tttty yards of Dempsey's house,
was at once selected as the placo tor the meeting.
And now another remarkable scene took place. The
whole roaJl below tor more than a mile was covered
by this huge peasant procession. As the houd of
the column reached the foot of the hill it parted,
two to either side, and climbed the hill in an
immense semlolrcle extending over the wholo
face of the hill. The two horns of this vast crescout
advanced quiokly and simultaneously, as If with the
intention of surrounding tho house, and with it a
large body of the polioc. The police immediately
prepared to retire, but Mr. Parnell oxerted himself
to stop the movement, and both sides of tho advancing
procession having halted, camo quietly together
around the speakers. There must have been quite
airrlit thmiiiund niAii in flint. ?Ttrn.ni*riinrpmiv nnd i
their self-possession, orderliness and enthusiasm
were even moro remarkable than their numbers.
The meeting was called to order by Mr. Louden, a
barrister, who is president of the National Land
League, who took paiuK to define exactly the position
Which the leaders wished the agitation to have. He
warned hi* hearers that they were not on any account
or under any provocation "to ofler any violence
to the officers of the law, nor to make any
attempt at resistance, armed or othorwiso, to the
executive officers of the land. Our object is and has
been throughout this agitation not to oppose bad
laws, but to have those bad laws wiped off tho statute
book." He weut on to define their objeot to be
"not the confiscation of the property of the landlords
but only its conversion," paying the owners
lull compensation. He observed tnat there wece in
Mayo couuty landlords who had raised the rent of
the holdingstally two hundred and even three hundred
per cunt. "What benefit Is an abatement of
twenty-five per cent on such rents y"
A very violent speech was made by Mr. Brennan,
who, in language of great poetry snd high flown eloquence,
pictured "what might have been" that day
had the eviction not been postponed, and described
harrowing scenes from the famine years of thirty
years ago. He apostrophized the constabulary, who
were standing under arms some distance away, asking
them "would they bo the destroyers of their own
people or rather twine bauds with them und save the
people}" Mr. Parnell followed and, perhaps ironically,
observed that the most likely effect of Mr.
lsrennon'm eloquence would be to send him to join
Messrs. Davllt & Co. in prison. He himself,
with great skill, Impressed on his hearers tho paramount
necessity of keeping strictly within tho law
as the one indispensable condition of success.
"Not to allow any provocation to
draw them away from their duty." "A man,
however powerful, respects his fellow men who
respect themselves." "No man can prevail against
a self-respecting, self-reliant people." "Let us remain
within the law and the constitution." This was tho
burden of a sueecli delivered with all the earnestness
of a man who feels that the tremendous responsibility
of the leadership of a wronged and exOited
people has been laid upon his shoulders.
OTHKli GATHERINGS.
Next day (Sunday) a great meeting was held at
Swineford. Mavo county. The police estimate of the
number* present won 15,000. Mr. Paruell attended,
and the chief point of his speech was to inculcate
the necessity of forming a public opinion among
tlie tenant class which should absolutely forbid
any man to occupy a holding from which
another had been ejected for failing to pay an
uujust runt. The same day a great county
meeting for Oalvmy county was held, at which the
two county members and some magistrates Were
present and mado very kindly spejphes. Letters
were read from three bishops sympathizing with
the movement, which aimed at miklug rents equitable,
at creatiug a peasant proprietary, or giving the
tillers of the soil llxlty of tenure. Archbishop
Macllalc wrote a most characteristic letter, full of
all hiji old tire and eloquence, declaring that all tlio
misfortunes of the laud were occasioned by Its
being ruled by an alieu legislature. It was a wonderful
production coming from an old man over
eighty years of age. At tlii<t meeting u ureal number
or the constabulary were present, by order of
the governluent, to notu the language of the speakers
aud the demeanor of the assemblage. T. I). .Sullivan
tjavo a humorous turn to this circumstance,
remarking that ho was "rejoiced to sea so many of
Iter Majesty's Moral Irish Constabulary present.
The government was doing very well In allowing these
gentlemen to receive so extensive a course of national
education."
AUO01IIHHOP M'CAIIK'B PASTORAL.
On the same itay (Sunday) a pastoral letter from
the Catholic Archbishop of IMibliu, Dr. MacCabc,
was read in all the churches. In the course of it he
referred to the general distress prevailing throughout
the country, and weut on to say:?
No class in Ireland will escape tlie affect* of this visitation,
ami sll must lie prepared to take their part in Dosrin^
the common burden. Hut we must take esre not to render
those trial* intolerable, driving liod from our aide hy the
Violation of 111* eternal law. Unfortunately men proclaiming
their sympathy for the people In their deep distress
are torn* through the country disseminating
doctrine* whKli, pushed to their logical conclusion,
will strike at the root of that ;;ood lalili aud mutual
contidrnco which are the foundation* of social life.
These doctrines navs already produced their evil result*.
The enemies of our people employ them as arguments
against our just demand* lor aid: half-hearted friends are

Commander Obey no. K. N.t delivered on the 20th
ult. a lecture In tho City Hall at Ulasgow on the
subject ot his proposed Polar expedition. Sir Jatnos
Bain, who preirldod, said, in introducing the gallant
commander, that there had been already a meeting
In Willis' Kootud, Loudon, ou the subject, at which
a proposal was made by Mr. Puleston, M. P.,
seconded by Mr. J. Newton, C, E., President of the
Association ot Foremen Engineers and Draughtsmen,
aud carried, to the effect "that lu view of tho
completion of tho northeast passage by Kwedon and
tho entry by other nations Into thu arena of Arctic
exploration it la necessary that a new British expedition
be immediatjjly organised to act iu concert with

Auother resolution b?eu adopted iuauguratiug
the I-oudon Ceutrai Arctic Committee for England,
ot which Dr. Cwuwoo, member for OUigow, had
since consented to become a member ? ? representative
for Scotland. Commander Choyne, who
wan received with applause, saiil it was with untold
satisfaction that tUat morning he bad again crosse<l
the Tweed to tbe laud of bis forefathers, wbicb bad
led tbe way iu Arctic exploration. He bad so applied
tbe spur to Uugland through Scotland that ha
' hoped bo had dragged her to tha front, and when
' Scotland bad once taken a thing iu hand it was not
within the scope of the Scottish character to withdraw.
We ail now acknowledged that it would be a
great disgrace to this natiou if, after the partial
failure that bad lately taken plaoe?a failure in lomo
things, but a success perhaps in others?we should
sit dowu quietly in our rooms and ory peccavi, and
wrap ourselves up In blankets and say "we are
beaU>u." Kuuh was not the course pursued either
by tho Duke of Wellington or Nelson, and such
would not be tbe course pursued by auy leader or
leaders in our country aa long as Scotch and English
blood cireulatod through thein. Tbe Canadian,
Stt John Macdouald, bad promised support
to the expedition, und Sir Leonard Tllley, Minister
of Finance for Canada, bad said to him:?"If you
break down in this country tor want of funds come
to Cftnada and I think wo can do it for you ?>ursAvcs."
lie didn't want Canada to do the work herself.
He wanted to uuitb the two countries and to
luriu u uruiiu-uauauMU expedition Willi gOOU
strong Scottish help.
Tho gallaut coiiunapder then, with tlio aid of tlio
msgto lantern and dissolving view*, described graphically
the vicissitudes au expedition lias to go
'through iu it* voyage toward the Pole, according to
Ilia own experience. Alluding to tliu lust exploration
be remarked that it was not the want of litno
juice ou the sledges tliat had broken down the crow,
but the keeping the men between badly ventilated
docks and not allowing them fresh air. Much Information

thence into the unknown by means of sledges and
balloons in a north-northwest course to?not toward?the

concluding he reported what support he had met
with in England, what was intended to be done in
Ireland, and hoped the Central Committee already
formed in Glasgow would work well, and trusted
that Scotland, having come by herself to the front,
might reap the roward of her enterprise. As tor

At the last meeting of the Hoyal Geographical Society,
Lord Nortlibrook presiding, a paper by Captuin
A. H. Markhain, who is not in England at present,
"On the Arctic Campaign of 1H7U in the Barents
Sea," was read by the honorable secretary. Captain
Markham considered that the present year must always
be regarded as a very remarkable one in the
annals of Arctic exploration, tor during the last few
mouths two important geographical problems had
been successfully solved. The Swedish ship Vega,
under the leadership of Nordenskjttld. completed her
voyage from the Atlantic to the Pacific by rounding
the northern termination of the Old World?a voyage
which, even if it should not prove important in
a commercial sense, would always rank as one of
the greatest geographical l'eats of the present century.
And, secondly, a small sailing schooner had
reached the hitherto inaccessible shores of Franz
Josef Land. He said inaccessible, because the
TegetthotT, the only vessel that bad ever approached
this const, had been carried thither by the Ice in
which she had been helplessly beset for two years,
an imprisonment from which her officers were
never able to extricate her. The vessel that had ao
successfully accomplished the latter feat *h
the little Dutoh exploring schooner Wiilem
Barents. His own cruise, this year, although
undertaken in only a little sailing cutter of
forty-three tous burden, was, as far as it went, perfectly
successful and had tended very materially to
strengthen his previous opinion that the route by
Franz Josef Land is the one that will lead to the discovery
of the greatest extent of previously unknown
country. Though successful in a geographical
point of view his trip would have boen more
so had it not been for the unwillingness evinced by
the Norwegian crew to face the ice. Tho
conception of the cruise waa entirely due to
their newly eleoted associate, Sir Henry Oore
Booth. Kurlv in the veitr hn. oluilr nr.
coptoil Kir Henry's Invitation to accompany
him on a (porting trip to Xovaya Zeinlys, with the
uuderstandiug that they should afterward examine
the ice iu the Barents Sea and other localities, during
what he considered to be the navigable season?namely,
the mouth of September. For their
cruise he had hired the little Norwegian cutter
Isbjorn, already reudered historical by her exploits
under Payer aud Count Wilczek. lie could not help
strongly expressing his opinion regarding the employment
of vessols unprovided with steam
power in exploring the icy seaa. At the
very moment when the ice is more open
than at uny other time?namely, in a calm, a sailing
vessel is perfectly helpless, and at other time*, when
there is a fair wind through the pack, it would bo
Imprudent for a commander to run on, because to
extricate himself from the ice he would have to
worn to windward iu an ice-blocked channel.* Although
most successful work has bocn accomplished
iu tlio Arctic seas by sailing ships, there was no
doubt that had those vessels been steamers much
more would havo been achieved. Yet this year
we had an example of a small sailing vessel
not only reaching, but also returuiug from, a
country which a steamer approached, in 1H73, by
being helplessly drifted in the ice, only to leave hi r
timbers bleaching ou the shore. Xhore was little
doubt that had tliu Willeni lia rents possessed steam
power she would this year have made one of the most
brilliant uud successful summer cruises in the Arctic
seas ever recorded. As it was not probable, remarked
Captain Markliaui, that the British government
would, for some time at any rate, interest itself
in the work of Arctic exploration, it remained
only for private individuals?men like Allen Young,
Leigh Smith and Gore booth?to follow the good example
set thein by Mr. Oscar Dickson, of liottenburg,
who by the late geographical success achieved
by Nordeusltjiild had reaped the reward of patient
perseverance. It was only by perseverance that success
could be commanded in the Arctic seas. He
would uow propose thst a vessel (aud one is uulte
sufficient) should be sent out to Franz Josef Land
prepared to winter. Should the season be unfavorable
and the vessel bo uuable to reach her destination.
tho commander ought to bo instructed to return
to Kugland and be sent out the following year.
Hut irom a comparison of all the voyages which he
had enumerated lie was iucllnod to think that a
steamer would have no difficulty in reaching tho
south coast of Franz Josef Laud during tho last
week in August 01 during the first two weeks in
September.

ECHOES FROM ABROAD.
JK French bicyclist, M. Payet, lias accomplished the
distance between Lyons and Milan in four daya.
Last May he made a bicycling expedition from
Lyons to Naples.
The reopening of the French Chambers was attended
with a certain amount of military pomp.
The whole guard of honor w?a under uruia, and was
commanded by Colonel Oay at the Luxembourg. ami
by Colonel Itiu at the Palais-Bourbon, instead of, as
formerly, by ofiicera of subordinate rank. M. (iambotta
gave a-grand hanqtlet on the occasion, to which
the members of the bureaux ol the Senate, Chamber
of Deputies, Prefecture of the Seine and Municipal
Council receivod invitations.
Londou Truth:?"A noble lady at Newmarket Is, I

Journal de* intuits ou tho bad harvests in Europe
this year, recognizes tlto inestimable service rendered
to Europe by the agriculturists ot the United
States, aiul denounces tile folly of duties for the pro*
taction of home (frown wheat. He tben examine*
the question whether it is possible for French culti*
vators to hold their own iu face of American competition.
He says:?"What strikes us is that European
agriculturo is, in some measure, protected by the
expense of transport, which, from Minnesota to
Clverpool, represents 8f. 50c. per hectolitre. Evideutly,
with this protection, with cheaper capital
and labor than In tho United States, European agrlculture
ought not to capitulato before its American
rival." M. Paul Leroy-Beaulieu recommends the
French agriculturist to employ machinery and mora
scientitlc methods of tilling the soil. He says:?"Iu

the method of culture is not different from that em- t
ployed by the ancient Gtauls."
The Archduchess Christine's splendid trousseau

yellow satin body cut en cueur and trimmed
with scarlet "ruching," the sleeves puffy and slashed
between shoulder and elbow. The skirt is likewise
of yellow satin; the train of scarlet velvet
beautifully worked with the arms ot Spain seined
over it. The fan is of black ostrich feathers, each of
which is ablaze with liery rubies and golden topazes.
Twelve dozen of each article of linen have'beon provided.
One of tho most remarkable features in th*
collection are the stockings, of which thore is an
endless variety. The finest of these are of cashmere

THE CITIZENS' COMMITTEE OF TREMONT PUSHING
THE DEMANDS OF THE "ANNEXED DIB
TRICT FOR A NEW RAILROAD.
The meeting of prominent citizens of the Twenty*
tlilrd and Twenty-fourth wards, which wai held at
Ittner'a Hotdl, Tremont, on Wednesday evening
last, haa produced good fruit. Yesterday the cornmi
toe appointed at the moetlng congregated at Del*
monlco's and had a long and lively session. Tha
result wss the appointment of a sub-committee to
wait upon the liapld Transit Commissioners. This
meeting was very harmonious, and all the members
present, sixteen out of twenty, were unanimous iu
their determination to sccure the objects of Wodnes*
day night's meeting.
Mr. Lewl% Drown, whose name heads the commit*
too, said that he positively declined being chairman,
owing to the fact that he hud no real estate interest
on the line of rapid transit alluded to. He thought
that the commissioners of both commissions hail
endeavored to do the best in their power. Titers
was a esse before the Supreme Court in reference to
tbe ststus of both commissions, which would not
bo decided before the second week iu January. It
was wrong, iu his opinion, to prejudge the proceed*
lngs of the commissioners before they had tried to
