DANA'S RAGE WAKES HOT.
The Mentor of the Press Issues Chal-
lenge to MIR. Cleveland.

| The Mentor of the Press Issues a Chal-
lenge to MIR. Cleveland.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Sun editori-
ally calls Mr.. Cleveland cowardly liar, a
half-drunken deputy sheriff, selfish pol
| troon, an unworthy husband and 'the stuffed
prophet of William street" The Sun is
goaded to this elaboration of invective by
Mr.. Cleveland's charge that Dana had at
| tackled Mrs. Clevelan l. On this subject the
| lightnings of rage play around the face of
the journalistic luminary in tho following
| style: ITO provoke sympathy for himself
MIR. Cleveland deliberately drags the name
of his wife into an interview intended for
publication, charging The Sun with an Of
Tense which, if the charge is true, ought to
render this newspaper odious to every gen.
| tleman on Manhattan island, to every hon.
| orable man who respects womanhooi
Challenged to the Proof.
| @The charge is false, and Mr.. Cleveland
| knew it was false when he uttered 1t.
There is but one answer that we care to
make. We invite Mr.. CLEVELAND to point to
line or word that ever appeared in The
Sun concerning the good woman whose
name he thus degrades, which justifies di-
| rectly or indirectly, the statement contained
in the paragraph quoted above. II he can
not do that-and he cannot-we invite the
attention of the community to the portrait
of a selfish poltroon, an unworthy husband
| about whose conduct in this affair nothing
can be said by any person of sensitive per-
ceptions that will not leave on the coarse
and swollen face peeping from behind the
| edge of his wife's garments a red mark like
| the sting of whip LASH
The Alleged Interview Discredited.
| The Evening Post states editorially that
Mr.. Cleveland did not use the epithets con-
corning Mr. Dana which were contained in
an alleged interview printed in The World.

NEW YORK, April l9-Sp cials from Al

AN INGENIOUS INVENTION.

A Machine to Make Railroad Con-
ductors Honest.
New ORLEANS, April 10. -Senor Juan
Caminando Coleman. assistant general pas
senger agent of the Illinois Central railroad,
and Senior Don Roberto Gillespie, agente dc
pasaies Ferro-Carril Central Mejicano as
they are now known, have returned from
Mexico, where they attended the meeting of
the general passenger agents OF America
on March Is. These gentlemen while in
Mexico were shown an ingenious and very
unique invention. It is shaped like Ham
mond typewriter, oval on one side and fiat
on the other, and is operated like the type
writer.
The object of this novel instrument is to
make it impossible for conductors to "knock
DOWN fares. The passenger presents mis-
ticket to the conductor, who reads the name
on it and puts it in the typewriter" at the
same time punching the letters of the name
on the ticket There is a bright piece Of
steel at which the passenger looks as the
conductor writes his name. When the con-
ductor has finished punching small peg a
bell rings and small piece of gutta percha
shuts over the steel plate In thirty seconds
the work is done and a perfect photograph
of the passenger is taken, the amount of the
ticket registered on the back and the name
of the passenger printed above the amount.
The whole job can be done in two minutes
and half, and is the most complete thing
vet gotten out.

The building and room where Jefferson
Davis was at one time confined was re-
garded with strong interest, anu the party
then boarded the Dispatch for sail down
HAMPTON road. Norfolk was touched.
The citizens there were intensely disap--
pointed that the delayed start of the excur-
sion had forced the cutting out of that city
from the itinerary. An arch of welcome
spanned the main street near the waters
edge and the colors of the various nations
represented in the conference fluttered from
buildings near.

hibited the working of two great fourteen
ton guns which hurl 250-pound shells eight

"Our conference has rendered these great
guns unnecessary" remarked Ciem Stude-
baker Of the American delegation.
But they do no harm resting here on
their mute strength" added Senior Zagarra

shining eight-inch bore of the gun.
Sailing back to Fortress Monroe in the

CUT OF THE EXPRESS COMPANY.
Chicago Employees Hold a Meeting
ana Talk OF Striking.

CHICAGO, April 20.-The great dissstis-
faction among the employees of the United
States Express Company over the order
reducing salaries in all departments culmin-
ated to-day in a mass meeting of the
Chicago employees at which intense feeling
was manifested. William Stubbs, one of
the Oldest men in the service, was appointed
chairman, E. G. Rosey secretary, and Geo.
Hinckley assistant secretary.
A document giving details of the sliding
scale, which makes cuts varying from 10 to
20 per cent, was read, and then one after
another of score of men, some employees
who have worked from twenty to thirty
years for the company, arose aud denounced
the proposed measure as heartless injustice
to themselves and families, and one as need
less as it was unjust.
THE GENERAL AGENT RETREATS.
Alonzo Wygant, the Chicago general
agent, who was present by request, mani
testify felt uncomfortable, and beat a hasty
retreat after making a short explanatory
address. He said the United States Ex-
press Company, and some others, ere
paying most of their profits to the railroads
The Efuture of the express business
is not bright, he said, and he would not put
straw In their way il any of them could
better their condition elsewhere. A strike
would be fruitless, for the company would
certainly resort to the employment of mex
perienced hands. Despite Mr.. Wygant's
assertions, however, the men expressed
themselves in unqualified terms in favor of
taking stand and holding out against the
company.
MODERATION URGED.
Chairman Stubbs urged moderation and
care, saying strike should not be declared
until it had been definitely ascertained that
the officers of the company would not arbi-
trate.
A committee of ten, headed by Chairman
Stubbs, and including messengers, wagon
men, office men, depot men and solicitors,
was appointed to wait upon Vice President
Crosby and make an effort to adjust mat
ters by arbitration, and was instructed to
report next Sunday. II the committee is
not favorably received a strike seems almost
certain May |, when the new schedule Of
wages is to 60 into effect.
