An interesting fact was the presence Of
properly accredited representatives of all the
other republics on the continent, namely, Mex
leo. Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica Saliva

Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Chill, Uruguay Par

American Conference now in session in this
city.
President Harrison occupied a seat directly
in front of the presiding officer, and during the
whole of Chief Justice Fuller's oration he sat
bending slightly forward, his eyes fixed on the
speaker and his toes turned in, as though he
was bow-legged. He scarcely moved during
the delivery, although he yawned once or
twice. but at the close he was the first to con-
gratuiate the Chief Justice on his effort Sen
ator ingalls, sat several seats further back, with
his arms closely folded, erect, mOtionless, at
tentive. Immediately behind him was the in
tellectual face of ex-Speaker Carlisle, while in
front, sitting side by side, Senators Quay and
Cameron appeared to take but little interest
in the address. Senator Quay, by the way, was
the only person the floor outside of the
Chinese and Corean representatives, who did
not wear black coat He had on brown one,
and it was without tails as well.

A PIea for the SUGAR swIndIers.

The District Attorney requested the Recorder
to-day TO discharge Mrs. Olive E. Friend, Emily
Howard, 0rrin Halstead and George Halstead,
who pleaded guilty recently to the charge Of
grand larceny in the electric sugar case.
He confessed that under the conspiracy law,
the four prisoners were principals in the sugar
swindle, and that they could be convicted with
cut much trouble. "But they have pleaded
guilty" he said, ''and have saved the county
the expense of q trial. Prof. Friend, who con-
ceived this plot, is dead. and Howard, his
primary coadjutor, is in prison. These people
were not principals in originating and concoct-
ing this plot The women only carried out the
plot conceived by Others, and the men were
only employees on a small salary, and did not
share in the profits" The Recorder dryly said
that he would think 1t over Mrs. Friend and
Mrs. Howard have been in the Tombs nine
months, and are haggard and ailing in conSe-
quence of the confinement. They will probably
be discharged.

METROPOLITAN MATTERS.
A Street Car Electrified.


NEW YORK, December 1l.-Rarely day
passes in this city now that somebody is not
either killed outright or frightened half to
death by an electric wire. During big rain
storm this morning an electric light pole on
Third avenue sank several feet into subway
excavation, where men had been at work and
then toppled over to an angle of 45degrees- The
two wires attached to the pole saggsd down
and lay across the horse-car tracks. A little
later q horse-ear with two passengers came
bowling down the avenue. Pierce Marx, the
driver, did not see the wires in the street. but
he suddenly heard an explosion and felt shock
At the same time his car became brilliantly iliu-
minated. Blackness followed for an instant
and then Marx saw colored sparks shooting out
from all portions Of his car. He received an
other shock which rolled him OF into the street.
The conductor and the two passengers leaped
from the rear platform. and the horses galloped
away with the empty car. A crowd gathered
around Marx shouting that he was killed But
he was not. He was only little burned and
nearly dead with fright. After drinking about
a pint of brandy he felt better, 1t seemed tnas
the wheels of the car had caught the wires and
pulled down the pole. The car wheels cut into
the Insulation on the wires, and thus formed
circuit that caused the brilliant flash and sub
quentIy caused sparks to fly from the car. Inc
large amount of iron about the car served to
carry the current.

constructed TO make a continuous llne
