WELDON. N, c., April ia stern
and gray bearded conductor went into
the Presidential car just as the train
was passing Reams's Station. Secretary
Chandler was pointing out to the Pres
ideut the earthworks and other inter-
esting points of that iercely contested
battlefield. Tickets" said the con.
ductor. "A the President had been in.

it's guest, the conductors demand was

had no passes. Have you tickets ?"
| They had no tickets. ''Then you will
have to nay fare from Petersburg to
Weldon"
This conversation was carried on with
Private Secretary Phillips, but the
President heard it, and he looked on
, with all amused smile; but when the
| conductor said that he should have to
charge them S47, that is, for the full
capacity of the private Cal, which ia
built for eighteen persons, there was
uis tCSi'Atu ~ al aAS h'iah
with the conductor, but he stood firm.
He must either have the money, tickets
or passes. bnt he left the car for awhile
for Mr.. Phillips to decide. The embsr.
rassment to Mr.. Phillips lay in the fact
that. having accepted the courtesies of
tine road for the Presidents party, he
felt that it mi sht give annoyance to the
officers if he paid the conductor; but at
the first stopping place the conductor
received telegram Instructing him TO
pass the party. The ordr 10 him had
been overlooked at Petersburg. So it
happened that the elegant dinner that
was spread in the car for the party
when Weldon was reached was not dis
turbed by the conductor.
The Presidents party left Washing.

CHICAGO, April IA. - Robert J.
Creighton OF San Francisco. Special
Postal Commissioner frcm New Tea
land. passed through ii 5 city to-day on
his way to Washington. 1t Is stated
that the Australian mai. contract with
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
expires 10 November. and that
it is extremely doubtful if it
would be renewed unless this gov
eminent made reasonable concessions
as TO the cost OF transportation.
At present 500 600 is expected an-
nuallg from New Zealand and sydney
for railroad transportation across the |
American continent. although it was
understood when the present contract |
was negotiated that no charge would |
be made. The British Colonies pay the |
Pacific Mail Company 1878, 900 year
subsidy to carry the mail from San |
Francisco TO Auckland and sgd |
ney, the steamers at Honolulu with |
the American mail calling for
it on each return voyage for
which service no charge is made. The
American mail TO the colonies is also
carried free, the United States retain,
ing hostages. 1t is intimated that un-
less this country can extend more lib
eral terms and free transportation to
this country in exchange for ocean ser.
vice, and also furnish quicker trauspor-
tation across the continent. tie present |
system will be abandoned and mails |
carried via Suez.

NEW York, April l3.-Speaking of
the new Sandwich Islands coins, the
Philadelphia Times says: Colonel Snow
den showed reporter some drawings
for dies to-day. The precise design has
not been fixed on. On one side of the
coin will be the Kings face. and On the !
other portion of the great seal of the !
country. The denomination of the |
coins will be indicated in the Hawaiian
and English languages. There will be |
"Akahi dalas," ''Hapalua dallas" and
"Hapalai." or dollars, half dollars and
quarters, respectively. There will like.
wise be dimes, but the Hawaiian signiT- |
ication of that piece of silver has not |
yet been translated. In size and weight |
the money will be equal to the United |
States denominations. As soon as the |
designs have been decided upon the dies
will probably be sent to San Francisco,
where the first batch of money, to the |
value of $1,000, 900 will, it is said, be
made, the Mint at that place being |
rearest to the Sandwich Islands.
