Samoan Times, had resumed publication. On
the 14th February severe gale visited the har-
Dor, during which the American barkentine
Constitution was driven ashore. and became a
total wreck. Everything possible was done to
save the barkentine. The second cutter of the
Nipsic, in charge of Ensign W. p. White, took
off the captain and crew. The Constitution
was owned by Mr.. Nicholas BIchard of San
Francisco. She was built at Philadelphia years
ago, and was formerly steamer, and was re
built in 1873 at San Francisco. Other smaller

FIRE AT THE GAs-HoUsE-The mayor this
morning called the case of VIM. Conklin, an
employee of the city gas-works, charged with an
attempt to blow up the gas-works Saturday
night The accused had been discharged and,
1t is alleged, was very angry with the manager
of the works. 1t was charged that while under
the influence Of liquor he went soon after mid
night on Saturday, turned on all the stop cocks
in the cellar between the retort house and the
gas reservoir, and set the gas on fire. An alarm
OF fire for the second ward was sounded and the
engines hurried to the gas-house, but the en-
ployes there had turned off the gas and extin-
guished the flames before the engines arrived
and they did not go into service. 1t is thought
that had the fire gotten well under way it would
have caused the explosion of the large gas tank
and dealt destruction to life and property in
that neighborhood. The mayor sent Conklin
on to the grand jury, and in default of bail he
was committed to Jail.

Messrs. Hewitt, Cooper and Others In

ST.. LOUIS, March rs. Information comes
from Florence, Ala, that controlling interest
in the Tennessee Coal Iron, and Rail-
way company has been sold to Messrs.
Abram s. Hewitt, Edward Cooper, Mr..

Tennessee coal, iron and railway company

and iron lands besides the famous Pratt
and Coalburg mines near Birmingham; also
several important branches and mineral rail-
roads in Alabama and Tennessee, besides large
blocks of stock of several of the prin-
cipal furnaces in the two states. a
private telegram vouches for the correct
ness of this information, while MIR.
Nat. Baxter, jr., of Nashville, president OF the
company, Is reported as disclaiming all knowl-
edge of such a transaction. However, he does
not positively state that the transaction has not
been made. 1t is said the new company VIII
meet and elect an entirely new board of direct
ors on the 1st of April.

WARD UNDECIDED.
He Would Rather Play With the Bos'

The New York World to-day publishes the
following interview with John Ward.
No. he replied; Il have not signed yet, and
there are no prospects Of my signing for some
time at least" Ward denied strenuously that
he had been interviewed by any one au-

Il have learned that the Boston club will NOT

IN great measure on my own exertions. Mhat
have learned Of this matter has been from an
unofficial source. The Boston people are will

course the whole thing rests with Mr. Day. I
understand that he will not return before
April 10, and 1 suppose my affairs viii remain
IN obeyance until that time"
Did Mr.. Hewitt call upon you today" was
asked.
Yes" replied Ward; 'he came in this after
noon and set the ball rolling by asking how
would like to go 70 Washington. told him
frankly that did not care 20 20 to that city as
thought that too much would be expected of
me. told him that thought he had arranged
matters IN such a way that entirely too much
depended upon my services. The people in
small city like Washington are much harder to
satisfy than those of Boston or New York IL

ONLY A TRAFFIC AGREEMENT.
The Wiconsin Central Not to be Con.
sOlidated with Northern Pacific.

NEW YORK. March 25.-The reports of a
lease or consolidation of the Wisconsin Gen.
trail by the Northern Pacific, are denied by the
officials of both companies. 1t is officially
stated. however, that a traffic agreement be-
tween the two companies will be consummated
at the special meeting of Northern Pacific di-
rectors on Wednesday. The Wisconsin Central
company is absolutely controlled by c. L. Col
by. Colgate Hoyt and L. III. Abbot the stock
certificates not carrying voting power, and the
three gentlemen named have been directors of
the Northern Pacific road since 1887, when
they went in with Henry Willard. Since that
time the Wisconsin Central has worked as
close connection of the Northern Pacific and
it was generally understood that a traffic agree
ment would ultimately be made.

KEEPING UP THE WAR.
Steam Railroads i'm South Washington.

ANOTHER LETTER OF COMPLAINT TO THE DIS
TRICT COMMISSIONERS FROM MEssRs PARKER
AND DwYER-IF RELIEF Is NOT AFFORDED
THEM THEY WILL APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT.
The war on the illegal railroad tracks in South
Washington continues with undated vigor.
Not a day goes by but that the subject is
brought to the attention Of the Commissioners
by Messrs. Parker and Dwyer. Saturday they
called and presented the following letter:
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 20, 1889.
Hon. Commissioners District of Columbia.
Gentlemen: A few days ago we submitted affi-
davits from Messrs. John L. Webster and Pat
rick Sullivan as to permanent unlawful obstruc-
tions of Delaware avenue, of Virginia avenue,
and E street at Virginia avenue southwest. in
the shape of fences maintained by the Bati-
more and Potomac Railroad company and we
must say that we are surprised at the hardness
shown in removing the distractions. One day
should be sufficient for any capable inspector
to remove the fence. as was done in the case of
the poor citizen who had shed on the Potomac
flats ON the line of 18th street southwest We
have been patient in awaiting answers to all
of our complaints, but in this instance we are
tired of non-action and now demand reply be
it favorable or unfavorable. Should the official
written reply not be forthcoming in a few DAVIS
we will feel it our duty to complain to the
President of the United States that we don't
receive proper consideration at the hands of
the Commissioners Also be kind enough to
officially inform us whether the police have
been instructed to carry out the police regula-
tons. 1t was only this morning that train of
cars blocked ID street and Virginia avenue for
fully five minutes, and officer standing on
the corner Of street and 9th street southwest
viewing the violation of law, and like the Com
mlssoners, seemed not to be troubled in the
both legs off, shooting crap-he is captured
and run in-he could not well escape. good
parallel column could be made for the press.
Legess crap player on one side arrested-big,
strong railroad companies violating the laws
and not molested.
Very respectfully,
CHARLES H. PARKER.

The Defective Third Section.

A DECISION BY THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE CON-
MISSION.
decision was filed to-day by the interstate
commerce commission in the case of the Little
Rock and Memphis Il. r. Co. against the st.
Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern. and the
East tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad
companies. 1t is to the effect that while under
the present English legislation the Little Rock
and Memphis railroad company would I'M
doubtedly be admitted to participate in
through passenger business between points
east Of Memphis and points west Of
Little Rock at through rates, and while
1t was apparently the intention of Com
gress to incorporate the substance of the En-
gllsh law IN this respect into the third section
OF the act to regulate commerce. nevertheless
IN failing to provide the necessary machinery
Tor the formation of the through route and the
apportionment or division of the through rate,
congress has left this part of the third section
practically imperative without cooperation on
the part of the carriers themselves. RECON-
mendations for amendment TO the law designed
TO meet this difficulty were made in the second
annual report of the commission. and those
recommendations are again renewed.
