United State* RCCIINCM to Arbitrate.
Austria-Hungary's proposal to ar
bitrate the claims for damages arising
from the death of Austrian-Hungarian
subjects during the Lattimer affray in
September, 1897, has been declined by
the United States government.
At tho outset the state department
called the matter to the attention of the
governor of Pennsylvania, who iu turn
awaited the action of the jury at Wilkes
barre, which tried tho sheriff on the
charge of murder. Tho jury acquitted
the sheriff, whereupon the Pennsylvania
authorities held that they could not
recognize a responsibility which a jury
had hold did not exist. The stato de
partment, took a similar view, where
upon Austria-Hungary proposed arbitra
tion of the claim witli tho result abovo

NEW ROUTE TO BOSTON.
PLANS ARE MATURING FOR A COAL
ROAD TO THE EAST.
C>ntral MuHHacliusettH Railroad Interohtn
Are Working Ouiutly to Tap the Le
high Region and Shorten the DiHtance
from Hohtuu to I'itthburg and Chicago.
Few railroad men of experience have
ever lookecL at a map of the United
States without thinking what a tremen
dous saving in time could be made in
running trains from Boston to the West
if a few hundred miles of road were
built from the Hudson river to the an
thracite coal fields.
Thirty years ago the advantages to be
derived by the building of such a branch
were recognized by New England
capitalists. Companies havo been or
ganized at different times to build the
road, various surveys have been made,
charters and rights of way secured, but
ail so far came to naught, principally
because of the difliculty in obtaining an
outlet for the road from this region to
the West.
The Triiiune is advised from Boston
that this difliculty has been overcome.
PLANS ARE MATURING
for the placing of the Central Massa
chusetts Railroad on asubtantial footing
when the Boston and Maine Railroad
lease is broken, which the Interests back
of the Central Massachusetts feel
confident will be dono.
The proposition which* it is alleged,
has been favorably received by all parties
interested, is to connect the Central
Massachusetts with the Pennsylvania
Railroad by the construction of a line
from Ilolyokc or Springfield, Mass., via
Newburg, N. Y., and Port Jervis, N. Y.,
to Tomhicken, this county, a distance of
253 miles, using the Newburg, Dutchess
and Connecticut Railroad in part be
tween Newburg and Springfield.
The road west from Fort Jervis would
follow a survey made about fifteen years
ago by a company having a similar
object in view. It would cross Pike and
Monroo counties, go through the
northern portion of Carbon, crossing the
Lehigh river between the Tannery and
White Haven, como up through Sandy
valley and pass within
HALF A MILK OF TOWN
on its way to Tomhickou, where its con
nection with the Pennsy would take it
westward.
The distance from Boston to Pittsburg
by this route would be shortened 150
miles or five hours and from Boston to
Chicago 200 miles or over six hours.
In this region short branches would
connect the now road with the Heading,
Jersey Central, Lehigh Valley and Dela
ware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill Rail
roads, and on Its way hero it would cross
the tracks of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western and the Wilkesbarro and
Eastern roads.
The line would pass through a field of
forty-nine collieries in active operation
and would connect by short branches
with 100 more. It would thus be
able to compete for tho full output
of the Lehigh region, which sends
on an average 15,000,000 tons of
coal per annum to market, of which
amount New England requires 12,000,-
000.
ONLY ONE-SIXTH
of New England's quota now goes there
by rail, the remaining 10,000,000 tons
reaching its designation by water, going
fully 150 miles out of tho natural course.
As a further inducement to tho build
ing of the !.ine it is expected that the Cen
tral Massachusetts would draw consider
able Boston-New York line business by a
traffic arrangement with tin; New York
Central.
The Central Massachusetts could
havo tho selection of tho Newburg,
Dutchess and Connecticut or tne
Poughkeepste and Eastern Railroad,
which is
OWNED BY BUSRBLL BAGK
and which is in tho market. It is esti
mated that tho construction of seventy
tulles of road to reach Newburg in con
nection witli the Newburg, Dutchess
and Connecticut would cost $30,000 per
mile and there would have to be over
one mile of tunneling.
The People's Anthraclt.o Railroad
Company, which lias a charter from
Pennsylvania for tho building of the
Pennsylvania end of the road and which
is authorized to issue $10,000,000 stock
and $10,000,000 bonds, is back of the
proposition. They offer to build the
Pennsylvania connections If Boston in
terests will furnish tho capital to build
the seventy miles connecting Springfield
or Holyoko with Newburg. At New
burg a lloating ferry would be used until
the traffic demanded a bridge.
