SECRETARY FOSTER.
What He Says About Subsidiary Coins and

Halifax.

What He Says About Subsidiary Coins and
the Bunch of Immigrants Dropped at
Halifax.
New YORK, April 19.-Secretary of
of the Treasury Foster has returned to
Washington, but before he left he visit
terview with Sub-Treasurer Roberts
and Collector Ehrhardt.
Just before he left for Washington
Mr.. Foster said that he expected that
the department would have the rules
and regulations governing the eXamina-
ton of goods in transit, which have
been made necessary by the new law,
ready in about a month The depart
ment was already beginning the issue
of subsidiary coin The idea was to
have it take the place of the silver dol
lar. Where silver dollars were used to
any extent in making change, and ap-
plication was made for a quantity of
them, the department would issue sub
sidiary coin in amounts of 5000 or $500
or even less. In this manner a great
deal of the small coin now in the vaults
of the department would be distributed
Asked what steps ne was going to
take in regard to the reported case of
the Oregon, which left Liverpool q few
days ago with 500 immigrants, and when
she arrived at Portland, Ne, had only
fifteen on board, having landed all the
others at Halifax, so that they might
avoid the immigration law by working
their way quietly across the border in
to the United States, the secretary re-
piled that he would have the matter in
vestigated. and if found to be SO steps
would be at once taken to put stop to
immigration into the United States in
any such manner. While the present
law allowed only one inspector for such
division or section, the department
could. if it was found necessary, put on
men enough to police all the points on
the Canadian line where immigrants
could possibly enter the United States.

Postal Clerks
CLEVELAND, O., April ga frightful
wreck occurred on the Lake Shore rail-
road at Kiplin station, about forty miles
west of here in which six postal clerks
and two engineers and q fireman were
killed
The fast mail No. IA. bound east, col
ided with No. 81, the Toledo express
Just as the latter was about to pull ON
the siding to let the fast mail pass
The fast mail was running at full
speed, and the force of the collision
was so great that both engines, three
mail cars and one baggage car was
completely wrecked
Following is the list of the dead:
Edward Brown, engineer of No 81,
Toledo, O
Charles Topliff, engineer of No. IA.
Toledo, o.
q. T. Nugent, postal clerk, Toledo. o.
C. Hammill. postal clerk, Elyria, o.
F. Clemens, postal clerk, Cleveland, o.
John Domorein, postal clerk, Elyria. o.
James Mckinley, postal clerk, Com
neut, O.
CHI Mcdowell, postal clerk, Elyria, o.
Staley, fireman of No. IA.
The fast mail consisted of three mail
cars and two parlor cars and the Toledo
express OF five coaches and two bag
gage cars The first and second mail
cars were telescoped and the third
crashed into the first two and rolled
over on the station platform, breaking
the windows of the building. The
two baggage cars of the Toledo ex-
press were knocked from the track but
did not turn over.
The force of the collision was so
great that of the sixty-four revolving
chairs in the two parlor cars only four
remained attached to the floors The
passengers were thrown to the floor
and badly shaken but none seriously

A SINGULAR fact in connection with
the Italian matter, which has entirely
escaped attention up to the present
time, is that one Of the leading Italians
lynched in New Orleans was actually at
the time of his death the recognized
consul at that port of a foreign govern
ment-not that Of Italy. Jose p Ma
eheca, the alleged head Of the Malta and
the most prominent Of the victims of
the mob, still stands on the records Of
the state department as the duly &C
credited and recognized consul Of Boil
via In New Orleans He was a wealthy
merchant. His firm of Macheca Bros.
still continue the agency of ono Of the
Important steamship lines touching at
New Orleans and trading with South
American ports, and It was probably
from this connection Macheca came to
be appointed consul for Bolivia

fifth floor of Vice-P President Morton's
hotel, 1.-The Shoreham," the largest and
finest apartment house in Washington,
fell with a crash recently, carrying
with it all the floors beneath. The
break occurred on the fifth floor near
the spiral stairway, and the debris
bored a hole about ten feet by six
through the lower floors to the base
ment. In the building of this hotel
all Of the most modern improvements
were incorporated, and it was consid-
cred the strongest structure of its kind
in Washington. Investigation, however,
shows that rotten material was used in
its construction.

GALVESTON, Tex, April 20-The

enjoyed much needed rest at Calves

DESTROYS of showing every honor and at
tention to the chief magistrate they
respected his request to be allowed to
pass the day in repose and abandoned
several demonstrations.

stration Saturday was the cordial well
come given the president by the Italian
colony of this city. All their local So
cieties participated in the parade and
through the Italian consul presented
the president with a floral tribute. The
Italian consul also paid his respects to

at him. For long time the police had
kept her back with the crowd, until a
reporter came along and escorted her
in. From window to window of his car
She went not satisfied until she had
found him and had shaken him cordial

to tell who enjoyed it more, the presi-
dent or his old playmate.
