Given n Hearing.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Ths special
committee appointed 20 consider the rec
ommeudatiOn of American delegates %
the International marine conference,
gave hearing at the treasury depart
ment to-day to gentlemen interested in
that subject. An address was made en-
dor,ing in general terms the proposition
for the creation of Il board of trade TO
have jurisdiction over the mercantile in
tPrests of the country, but differed
slightly in their views as TO its compost
ton. A suggestion that the photographer
of the navy and possibly superintendent
of the coast survey be made members of
board seemed to meet with favor. This WAS
advocated by Mr.. Houghton and Adj
miral Harmony because of the ad-
vantage to be derived in the mat
ter of charts, etc, by having
experts on board. Representatives of
sailing interests made strong
argument in favor of giving those in
terests equal rights and privileges with
steam interests. It was announced the
hearing would be resumed tomorrow,
and that the attorneys would be given
until November Is to file their briefs.

of the American citizen reported in dis
patches from Constantinople being ar
rested and incarcerated for alleged COM

identity. The department has in its
possession the names of several Ameri-

said to have been associated with the

of them are Novigan and Gurdeen, and
from hasty comparison of newspaper

Edison is a count, u millionaire and

millions, is as nothing compared to what

little shop of twenty years ago, out at
Mcnlo Park, in which he used to eat his
bread and cheese seated on an old pack
ing.box, talking over the work in hand
with his two or three workmen, the
present surroundings are inbulously lux.

means, which may be the case, when we
remember that his famous laboratory
costs 5000, 900 n year to maintain. But
the master mind is still the same. When
he works II means work for his men. In
the old days at Menlo Park il WIS no
uncommon thing for him to remain at
the bench for forty-cight hours at a

crackers aud cheese when he felt hungry,
and not giving up until his assistants
had actually fell asleep standing up. To.
