Contrary to expectation Sir Charles Tapper and Mr. Chamberlain, together with the American commissioners, made a proposition for greater freedom of oommercial intercourse between the two countries before discussing the fishery question. The proposition of the British commissioners was "that, with the view of removing all onuses of difference in connection with the fisheries, it is proposed by her majesty's plenipotentiaries that the fishermen of both countries shall have all the privileges enjoyed during the existence of the fishery articles of the treaty of Washington in consideration of a mutual arrangement providing for a greater freedom of commercial intercourse between the United States and Canada and Newfoundland."STILL ANOTHER OF THE WESTERN BRAMfORD, Pa., March 8.—George A. Kimball, the dead bank burglar and murrlerer, is supposed to b« the sums man who, single handed, robbed the Eldred bank in Eldred, Pa., on Sept. 11, 1884. Mr. Pitt O. Heasiey, cashier of the Eldred bank, took a Jook at the remain* of the dead robber yesterday. In general appearance and looks he closely resembled the man who committed the robbery. Mr. Heasiey is pretty confident that both robberies were committed by Kimball. The Eldred bank had just closed for business. Cashier Heasiey and Clerk A. R. Sloan were puttirg the money into the vault. They were aJone, The appearance of a tall and stout man with a jet black beard, armed with a revolver, frightened them badly. The intruder grabbed a bundle of money containing 12,500, and, running through the director's room, jumped out of a window and escaped. Kimball's hair and mustache are jet black, and it is more than likely that he is the man. Before the robtery he was poor, but toon afterward he had lots of money and went to Garden Citv, Kan., where he went into the real' estate business. At Garden Oity he rained a young girl, and when threatened by exposure came east and tried to induce a cousin who lives in western New York to marry him. She refured. He tried, but unsuccessfully, to induce a dissolute woman to accompany.him west as bis mistress, and has associated ever since his arrival here with depraved women. Cashier Tomlinson is still alive and may recover. Butcher Blich is not expected to live till morning. Kldred Bank* Washington, March 8.—Mr. Onthwaite's report in support of the bill whtch he reported yesterday to the house from the committee Du Pacific railroads, to rotund the Union Pacific railroad's indebtedness, is unusually voluminous. It is largely made up of abitraots from the reports of the special Pacific railroad oommissiou, the directors of the govjrnment, and the president's on the rnbject. It gives detailed explanations of iach section of the measure, and is accompalitjd by tabulated statements, showing bow the payments are to be worked out It shown the iifects of the bill, as represented by the actuu-y of the treasury, requires the company to pay to the government about $10'J,000,000— D50,000,000 interest and C5:3,000,000 as principal; that while it is a bill proposing to extend tor fifty years the Union Pacifiu indebtedileus the practical effect is really only an ex-ension ot- twenty years; that the payments tre to begin immediately and to increase largely every year thereafter, while uuder the present law the payments to the governnent are steadily diminishing. The principal ihange in the original Outhwalte bill, the report states, is in the section providing the .eries of payment i during tne first ton years. Instead of paying one-third of 1 per cent, idditiunal to ttie interest during the first ten (rear period, the fompany is to pay one-tenth it 1 per cent, during the first five years and ■even-tenths of 1 per cent for the next five ears. This is to enable the company to liquidate outstanding private debts which toon become due. Pacific Railroads Committee. UNION'S NEW HOME. ROADS TIED UP,! IN HIS PALACE.

Daring the life of the late Dr. Edouard Seguin he made idiocy a study and became. the first successful teacher of children whose mental and physical develop? ment had been arrested. His definition of ldioC5y is "An arrested development Ot body and mind, e» both, and not an absence or paralysis of the intellectual faculties. The idiot is an Infant whose mind, and often his bodily powers, hare remained in the Infantile condition, and he can be successfully treated by a training similar, but more protracted, than that by which the ordinary infant is developed into an active and intelligent child."

Most well Informed people are doubtless aware tbut the globe on which they live ia a great ball of magnetiam, bat comparatively tew have an adequate Idea of the Influence this property la continually exerting on all sides,, that many common bnt inexplicable phenomena can be traced directly to thU source. Statistics go to show that in the matter of steel rails, aa many as thirteen will become crystalised and break where they go to make np a railroad track running east and west, before one of those on a north and south track is similarly affected. This is entirely due to the magnetism generated by friction, and the fact that the polarity of the magnetic current is in the former instance resisted in the headlong rush of the train, whereas in the latter case it is undisturbed. Another strange effect of this peculiar and occult force ia that exerted em the -rat- he* of train men. A timepiece earned by the conduetor running a train twenty miles an hour, however accurate it may be, will, if the speed of the train ia increased to, say, Aft} miles, become useless until regulated. The magnetism generated by the flight of a train may be said to be in proportion to the speed with which it is propelled, and the delicatc parts of * watch, numbering all the way from 400 to 1,000 pieces, and peculiarly susceptible to this influence by reason of the hammering and polishing they have received, are not. slow to feel the effect.—Boston Budget '  CONDENSED NEWS.
