Frantic Efforts of European Governments to
Head on the International Conference.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s-From the tone of
the newspapers in England, France. Spain
and Germany it would seem that the peo-
pie of Europe are just beginning to awake
to the importance of the international con-
ference which is TO be held here in October.
Nearly all of the leading papers of the
countries named have recently contained
editorials warning the people of South
america against entangling themselves in
any commercial or political alliances with
the United States. One editorial which
was printed in Madrid has created
q good deal of amusement at the
State Department as it intimates
that the government of Spain has been
neglectful of its duty in not preventing the
assemblage of the congress. 1t says the
movement might have been stopped if the
Spanish authorities had taken hold of it in
time, and intimates that If the government
had given the Spanish minister at Wash
ington a little money he might have bribed
our Congress- and prevented the passage of
the bill.
Col Fred Grant, who is minister to Aus
tria. inclosed to Mr.. Blaine, the other DAY.
an editorial from the organ of the Minister
of Foreign Affairs in Vienna, which takes
very strong grounds against any COM
mercial political alliance of the
American republics. and says that the rep
resentatives of Austria at the capitals of
the various nations have been instructed to
warn the governments to which they are
credited that Austria looks with disfavor
upon this international American move
ment.
Col. Ramc0n Williams, who for many
years has been the United States consul
general at Havana, is in the city. and says
that there is similar feeling on the subject
ials every day, warning the Spanish Amer
lean republics against involving them
selves in any complications with the United
States, and threatening that if they do SO
they are likely to lose the friendship of the
European governments

Mr.. Chamberlain Outlines the Policy of q
New Party He Thinks Should BE Formed.

Mr.. Chamberlain Outlines the Policy of q
New Party He Thinks should Be Formed.
LONDON, Sept. 1S.-Speaking at a pollti-
cal meeting at Hudderstield. last evening,
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain predicted the alli-
ance between the Liberal Unionists and
Conservatives would continue until the
agitation in favor of the separation of
England and Ireland was killed. He
thought at the time the alliance was
formed that it meant his sacrificing for
long time many cherished political objects,
but he had found that he had not been
called upon to make any sacrifices. The
government was carrying much liberal
legislation through Parliament. The
Unionist leaders had learned to work
together and to trust each other. He agreed
with the suggestion of Lord Harrington
that new national party ought TO be
formed, pledged TO effect internal reforms
in Great Britain and Ireland, and whose
policy should be the maintenance of the
union and the strengthening of the empire.
The Gladstonians. he said. are breaking mp.
Their center Of gravity is now in their tail.
Their head has lost all its directing energy
The sections of the Gladstonian party are
adopting political heresies. and favor re-
sistance to the law, and socialism. If a new
party was formed its programme would be
as far removed from the new doctrines of
the ultra Radicals as from the fossil Tory
Ism of the past. He was confident that
many Gladstonians would be glad to ad-
here TO such new party, which would con-
stitute q strong parliamentary power.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 1s.-Giant powder
enough to destroy the entire neighborhood
was unearthed few days ago by James
Haskins, as he was digging on his lot, and
the story of the find has just come out.
The property is in the most precipitous dis
trict IN the city. and Hasklns sought to
level off the ground. His methods met
with strong objections from the neighbors,
and it is supposed some of these adopted q
desperate game to get Haskins out of the
way aud blow np his property. As Haskins
was working about the place with pick
he upturned what looked like q stick of
candy. On lookin->closer he saw the word
Giant stamped ON it. His heart stood
still for moment as he realized it was
giant powder. Three dynamit te bombs and
twenty-one sticks of giant powder were un-
earthed within short compass. This was
turned over to the police, who have since
been at work on the case without satisfac-
tory results. Across the street nearly seven
hundred children were at school and had
n chance blow from Haskinss pick explod

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1889.

The notable thing in Mr. Wanamaker's
straightforward and business-like report is
that he does not recommend one-ceut post.
age, as many had expected ON the con
trary, he says that while the reduction will
come in due time, the country will not be

To halve the present rate would Of itself
create deficiency of SD OOO, 900, and a
the cost Of the service for the last fiscal
year exceeded the net revenue by over
1000, 900, Mr. Wanamaker holds to the
opinion that further cutting down at pres

Mr. Wanamaker also declines TO recon

en- the tie between the government and the
people if postal savings banks were estab

for the benefit of the poorer classes. with
the amount of each individual deposit lin
tied to $50 He also recommends the r,-
Enlistment of the postal telegraph system
in modified form. To accomplish this he
would have the department make contracts
with telegraph lines now in operation, un-
der advertisement and public bid, in the
same manner as the post office department
now contracts with railroad companies for
the carrying of the mails connecting the
wires with free delivery and other desig-
mated post-otiices, and receiving messages

office expense would thereby be incurred
beyond the employment of an expert tele
grapher among the other clerks, and in this
way the use of the telegraph might be pop

far the telegraph is desired for the despatch
of social messages.
Regarding the operation of the civil ser
vice laws, the report explains the delay in
applying them to the railway mail service
as due to the inability of the civil service
commission to prepare for examinations,
etc. 1t is shown that under the last admin
istration 4199 changes were made in a total
of $3.50 clerks employed Complaints were
so general of inefficiency of the service that
the department at once set to work remov-
ing the inexperienced and restoring old
clerks as far as possible. 4 total of l43r

and April %. BY July 30, 1882 change.
