Plan for a railroad clearing house to govern rates
C P Huntington of the Southern Pacific proposed a central rate authority to save western rails from financial collapse. The plan, to be sent to the Interstate Commerce Commission, would place rate control with a central clearing house and require sworn audits. Several lines have joined, but Chicago & Alton and others have not, risking failure.

Fiske Critical Period of American History review
A review praises John Fiske's The Critical Period of American History 1783 to 1789 for clear, exact narration and a balanced view of the formative era. It notes no new facts but commends his method, while faulting some lecturer’s digressions and moralizing. The piece contrasts with Curtis and Bancroft, and mentions the St Nicholas Magazine and Century Company publications.

Rosenthal Impresses Boston With Virtuoso Liszt Rhapsodie
A large audience welcomed Herr Moriz Rosenthal and the Symphony Orchestra for the second concert of the series. Rosenthal surpassed his prior Boston appearance with a superb performance of Liszt Rhapsodie Hongroise No 12 and offered Chopin Polish Song encore. The program included Mozart Marriage of Figaro Overture, Chopin concerto movements, Massenet Scenes Pittoresques, and other works. The orchestra supported the soloist adequately, though critics noted moments of overly sweet passages and some loss of contrast between opening melodies and climaxes.
