1t is easier to ask questions than
to answer them and it is often very
difficult when the question is written
in an unknown hand to judge of the
spirit of the inquirer. Sometimes in
the letters sent us, we detect at once
the captious tone of one who is air
ing hobby or grievance and is not
searching for the truth. But this is
frequently disguised in such humble
phrase that when we may suspect the
motive it is not safe to put such an
Interpretation upon it lest We grieye
an honest applicant who is really in
pursuit of the information he pro-
fesses to desire.
In the crowded mail that comes to
our desk there are many letters con-
tanning questions upon themes that
are usually discussed in the pulpit or
in the columns of religious papers.
Most of these include covert sneer
at sacred things or are artfully drawn
to present denial of some cherished
truth. Occasionally a writer bolder
than the rest proclaims himself a
skeptic and openly challenges refu-
tation of some stated postulate the
fallacy of which was a thousand times
exposed before he was born. We
have now before US a letter from a
Young man who is clerk in q Wall
street Office. and a great admirer. as
he tells US. of famed ipfidel. He
feels called upon. he says, "to dis.
believe in future state. aud to deny
the existence of any part of man
after DEATH" He goes on to say that
he is curious about one thing, and
wants in reply "no theological cant.
but an answer that Dlein business
man can fully comprehend"
He asserts that his failure to secure
any satisfactory answer to this ques-
tion was the main reason why he
was led to disbelieve in future state.
And he then asks. "If death ushers a
Christian into perfect bliss, why
should we weep. and put on sack
cloth, and break our hearts over the
departure of our friends? Are not
these indisputable signs that we do
not believe In that creed ?" We
think our young friend has failed to
interpret Alright the signs of grief he
has witnessed. The living in such
cases do not mourn over the fate oi
the departed. 1t is the anguish oi
separation that fills the eyes and
causes the heart-ache. Has he never
seen a mother whose boy was going
away to school for but a single term
press him again and ngain to heI
bosom and weep as If her heart would
break? And yet he was not going
far away. and she fully trusted in the
hope that In a few weeks he would

Two Miniature Oceans Brought Within 20
Feet of Each Other.
A full working model of the projected
Nicaragua Interoceanic Canal, for which an
application for a charter recently passed
both Houses of Congress and is now waiting
for the Presidents signature, was placed on
exhibition in the rooms of the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday by Mr.. D. B. Nc
Auley, 9 representative of the company.
Lieutenant Harlow. q. S. n, has hereto
fore described and illustrated it fully in
THE DISPATCH.
The model exhibited is feet wide by 20
feet long, and carved from two-inch pine
planks Joined together. The topography
and natural features of the region of the
canal were reproduced in miniature, with
Lake Nicaragua, the San Juan river, the
canal with itslocks and lighthouses. all given
complete.
Water was supplied by hose, and tiny
boat was started at the Atlantic terminus
and drawn through the channel by means of
a bar magnet and pin in the bow of the
boat.
Even the difference in the color of the
water in the miniature ocean termini, and
that of lighter color in the lakes, were rep
resented by painting the bottoms different
colors.

Of the Farmers and Mechanics Bank
Are Still Matter a Doubt.
The fate of cashier 81. F. Voigt, of the
Farmers and Mechanics Bank, on the
Southside, is still hanging in the balance
The hearing, which was to have been con-
tinued yesterday afternoon before Alderman
Schaefer, had to be again postponed by re-
quest of j. s. Ferguson, Esq, attorney for
the defense. 1t is to be held next Monday.
In the meantime President J. 81. Sorg
and the depositors are grumbling on account
of the continuous delay. The depositors
complain, because they have their money
locked up and don't know when they will
get it back, or how much they will get.
They say that experts have now been trying
to straighten the accounts for three months,
and still no statement is forthcoming.
Then Mr.. Sorg complains that voigt's
case is not hurried up any more. In con-
versation with a reporter for this paper last
night, he said:
If there is a man who is anxious to see this
thing terminated it is I. If anybody has the
idea that I do not sympathize with the de-
positors he is much mistaken. am doing all
1 can to hurry things wish were able to
say something definite, but am not. AS far
as can judge, think that we shall be able to
pay the depositors 80 per cent OF their money.
1t depends however, to great extent, upon
the sales we make Of our property.
Now, as to the written statement: / have
been told by the expert when he expects to be
ready with il, but l do not know but something
might occur to occasion another delay. On
that account will say nothing at all, because
do not want to raise any false hopes among
the depostors.

SECRETARY DILLON'S REPORT.
The Flint Trade IL Good and the Prospects
Are Very Rosy.

Are very Rosy,
The American Flint Glass Workers
Union is in better shape than ever before In
the history of the organization. Secretary
Dillon yesterday completed his quarterly
report, which will be printed and mailed to
the different local unions. The report shows
that the receipts for the quarter amounted
to $50, ,059 26, and the expenses were $685.
068 SO. The cash balance on hand, ex-
elusive of the emergency fund, is $3.50 Co.
There are 81 locals in existence, with 3, ,920
members in good standing. Only five MEM
bers were expelled during the quarter and
81 were suspended, while the number of nom
union men in the trade is only 70.
Of the total number Of members in the
union 5,67s are employed, 175 are IDLE and
67 are locked out. The total number of
flint furnaces in the country is LIT, and all
are running except six.
In speaking of the condition of trade Sec
retary Dillon says:
From the reports received 1t will be seen that
the chimney, table ware, mold making, engrav-
in some localities, while in some others they
are inactive. The shade branch is very dull all
along the line. This is attributed to the large
importation of this line of ware. The same
can be said of the punch tumblers blown in
the paste mold. Some efforts are being made
to secure sufficient import duty on these goods
to prevent such a wholesale Importation; and
it is to be hoped that such efforts will be
crowned with success.
The iron mold branch is in fair condition,
and the cutting branch also. The stoppering
branch is also reported good. The paste mold
branch, aside from the punch tumblers, is doing
fairly well, and the castor branch Is in good
condition, hence we cannot complain a great
deal as to the condition of our trade. Yet we
feel more content when it is thoroughly active.
and we hope for an early revival Of the dull
branches.

CAN'T COMPETE WITH CONVICTS.
The Coal Exchange Holds n Meeting and
Discusses the Matter.

Discusses the Matter.
The Pittsburg Coal Exchange, composed
of operators in the Monongahela Valley,
held an important meeting yesterday after
noon at the Office of John A. Wood & Co.
The meeting was secret one, and Captain
Wood, who presided, said the only informa-
tion he could give was that committee had
been appointed and will meet to-day to con-
slider q matter of great importance to the
operators, miners and laborers in the valley.
Continuing he said:
Ireported to the exchange that had gone to
attend the indianapolis convention and had
been refused seat. The members of the ex-
change were very indignant as we had been in
vited to send delegates.
The river coal trade is greatly injured by
competition coming from the Kanawha Valley,
Alabama and Kentucky. We have tolls to pay
at the various locks on the Monongahela river,
while the Kanawha operators, who are 255
miles nearer the market than we are, have free
navigation. 1 learned and reported to the
meeting that convicts were digging coal in
Kentucky, and that it was shipped to Memphis
and sold at 81 25 ton, or about rs cents or 81
less than we can sell our coal at the present
mining rates.
The only expense in mining the coal by con-
of keeping the convicts. We cannot compete
with convict labor, and if something is not
done soon we will be compelled to close down
all the mines in the Monongahela Valley. The
committee that will meet tomorrow will dis
cuss this matter, and prepare a report to be
presented at the next meeting Of the Ex-
change.
Captain Wood did not say, but it is be-
lieyed a reduction in the price of mining
will be ordered.

A Country Full of Mineral Wealth and

Silas W. Hastings, New Yorker, now
of Costa Rica, is in the city at the Duquesne
Hotel. He is interested in the construction
of railroads, street railways, etc., in Costa
Rica, and yesterday saw the Westinghouse
people about the introduction of electric
lights into the country. He said yesterday:
have lived in Costa Rica for some time and
spent six years in Rio Janeiro. L think in time
Central America will be annexed to the United
States, but it will have to come about through
outside force and pressure. The people re-
alize that the Americans are their best friends,
and in any complication they will have to look
to them for aid. The possibilities of the penin-
sula are great, and predict that in the next
five years it will be the scene of active COM
mercial operations
The Americans have sadly neglected their re-
lations with the Central American republics.
One scarcely ever sees the American flag there.
At my Atlantic fort not one of the ships that
enter the harbor carry our flag. When l was

the Government would do in the way
of subsidies. went with him to
Dom Pedro, and the latter said that he would
give as much to subsidize the line as the Ameri-
can Congress would. They gave nothing, and
the steamers had to be withdrawn. The only
way the merchant marine can be built up is by
the payment of subsidies until the lines become
self-supporting.
am a Democrat but as long as we have a
Republican administration would like to see
Blaine Secretary of State. He Is the only man
who has occupied that position for some time
who has made his power felt. Our flag is not
respected by foreign nations, and as an Ameri-
can away from home it makes my blood boil to
see indignities heaped with impunity on the
Stars and Stripes.
Central America has been kept back by the
lack of railroads. Many of the gold mines will
yield from S25 to $50 per ton. but for want of
cheap transportation they don't pay. The ma
tives are bright, intelligent and good workers.
When 1t Is not harvest or planting time they
can be hired for 75 cents day.
A few weeks ago was at the scene Of the
Panama canal. The work is practically stopped
and the scheme is dead. 1t will take S400OO0,
600 to build it. The gangs of men, from whom
so much was feared, have been scattered. The
representatives of the various countries were
instructed to send them home. The Nicara-
qua canal is the one that should have been
built 1t can be done for l.000, 900. and the
plan is perfectly feasible. The indications are
that it will be out through in preference to any
other.

COAL MEN OBJECT TO CONVICT LABOR

The II. c. Frick Coke Company has
signed the scale, the same it has been pay
ing for over a year, which is 81 per cent
higher than the wages paid at the other
works in the region. 1t is to remain in
force until January 1; but there is pro-
vision which will permit the concern to re-
woke the scale on March 15, unless a uni
form scale is adopted throughout the re-
gion.
As stated in this paper yesterday, the
strikers at the Standard Works acknowl-
edged that they were wrong in closing down
the works, and expressed willingness 10
reimburse the firm for all losses occasioned
by the strike. The works were put in opera
tion yesterday.
The mammoth works of J. W. Moore &
Co. were also started yesterday, and the
strike is at an end for the present.
The National Progressive Union sent
committees around the works operated by
the q. G. Frick Coke Company yesterday,
and made an individual canvass for and
against accepting the proposition, taking
each mans name, and it is safe to predict
that every man who voted against accepting
the proposition of Superintendent Thomas
Lynch will be named Dennis.
Jimtown and Sterling resumed work in
full yesterday morning, as did Leisenring
No. 1. At the Beeson works the men are
locked out, and could not resume, it is said,
on account of defective machinery and
boilers.
Much speculation is INDUCED in as to the
result of the K. of L. convention to-day, as
the situation is now changed and the
Knights say they will not be made the
tools of the Frick Coke Company and the
N. P. o. to get other works than the Frick
Company to strike, and wear out their sub
stance until March Is and lose all, and
then the Frick Company will gain their
point, which is q reduction of wages and
the total dissolution of labor organizations,

Illinois Coal Men Responsible for the Trou.
bic In Mining Camps.
J. F. Burke, who attended the convention
of miners and coal operators at indianapolis,
returned last evening.
Mr.. Burke stated that the cause of the
trouble between the operators and miners
was produced by the operators in Northern
Illinois that are favored by the Chicago
and Northwestern road. W. L. Scott owns
a number of mines in this neighborhood,
and as the coal is easily mined the men
work for less wages than they do in Indiana,
Pennsylvania:andiOhio. The operators in
these States make no attempt TO compete
with Scott and the others in shipping coal
to the Northwest. Continuing he said:
Iheard John Mcbride say that unless there
was an amicable agreement concerning the
scale at the coming Columbus meeting there
will be q general lockout In order to settle
their difficulties he proposed that the other
three States fight the Illinois operators as COM
mon enemies; that the Illinois miners be in
duced to strike for the rates paid elsewhere,
and that the miners and operators outside Of
Illinois will agree to support them in their de.
mands. This is the only way, he thought, that
a scale could be arranged and q strike averted.

PROPOSALS FOR IRON WORK WANTED

There was meeting Of the Central Trac.
tion Railway Company yesterday afternoon,
at which important business was transacted.
1t was important from the fact that the pro-
ject was finally licked into shape. 1t was
officially decided that the route would be
on Wylie avenue. and below that down
Sixth avenue, along Wood street, up
Fourth avenue to Grant street, and thence
back to Wylie avenue.
It was also determined that the upper
terminus of the road would be at the present
car stables of the company, on Heron ave-
nue.. It will doubtless, sometime, be ex-
tended beyond that point, but not this
year.
A committee was instructed to advertise
for proposals to furnish the iron work. 1t
was decided that the road should be in oper-
alton by September next.
The matter was discussed generally in de-
tail, and it was generally expressed opin-
ion that the road would be success, as it
WILL NOT COST so MUCH
to build as either the Citizens or the Pitts
burg Traction road, property necessary to
be secured costing much less than did that
of the other roads. 1t is stated that, on the
strength Of the showing made in this re-
spect lately, the stock had appreciated in
value six points, over 80 per cent of what it
commanded when first offered for sale.
The engineer submitted his report, which
vas referred to committee. The plans and
specifications are not ready, but as soon as
they are prepared the committee in charge
will contract for the entire road.
Acting Secretary Mckinley, who gave
none Of the above information, stated that
the road would be built on the plan of the
other cable lines, and he supposed the con-
tract would be taken at SO much per foot
He expects to see the work started on the
main line in short time.
PROPERTY PURCHASED.
The Property Committee reported that
the Wylie avenue church and the Jane
Magee properties had been purchased, and
the building of Judge Magee leased for 30
years. The power house will, as before
stated by this paper, be located on this
ground.
In regard to the route, Mr.. MCKINLEY said:
"a number of things will have to be con-
sidered, as the possible extension of the road
to East Liberty, and what arrangements
could be made with the Citizens line. We
will follow the route mapped out by the
ordinance. 1t is possible we will go ahead
and build the main line, and, in the mean
time, decide on the balance of the route"
