The Necessity OF Adopting Uniform Car
Coupling Devices.


NEW YORK, Nov. lo.-The committee appointed
by the last national convention of railroad com.
missioners to secure congressional action look
ing to uniformity OF safety appliances for rail-
road cars met this morning, four members being
present. There was large attendance of rail-
road men from all parts of the country Chair
man Croker opened the proceedings by reading
the replies which the committee had received
from companies representing 125,oo0 miles of
railroad, concerning the kind of automatic
couplings and brakes used on freight cars They
fix the total number OF freight cars in the
United States at 97s,0O0, of which only l29,30O
were shown to be equipped with automatic car
couplers.
Chairman Croker said that in the opinion of
the committee imperative action should be
taken by congress to hasten and insure the
equipment of freight cars throughout the couu-
try with uniform automatic couplers and train
brakes In coupling or uncoupling cars there
were killed during the year ending June 80,
1889, over 800 men, while 6,759 were injured.
During the following year 369 were killed and
7,sil injured
Colonel Hanes, president of the American
Railroad Association, reminded the committee
that the association was now engaged in max
ing the master ear builders coupler (the vertical
hook) the standard coupler throughout the
system, that type having been agreed upon as
the best. Haines said there were 1000 900 freight
cars in the country, only 100000 of which are
equipped with automatic couplers The cost Of
eQulppng the other million would be SOS, goo 900,
and five years time at least would be required.
The aggregate cost OF fitting up cars with air
brakes the country over would be $50, 1000 900.
These things must be taken into consideration

Tacoma's Bankrupt Insurance Company.

TACOMA. Nov. l0.-[Speciai. While discuss
ing the financial condition of the West Coast
Fire and Marine Insurance Company, of this
city, and other companies of the state, secretary
of State Weir was asked today by correspond
ent of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES il in his super
vision of the insurance business of the state he
found any good reasons for doubling that such
business, properly managed, would prove profit
able. He replied in the negative, adding that
with good management ana good backing tine
business would prove profitable. No PROPOSE
ton has been made to Mr.. Weir to continue the
business of the West Coast Fire and Marine In
sursnce. He today made a proposition to the
company to eountenance the raising of sufficient
money pro rata from stockholders to pay the
company's liabilities, thus obviating costly iti-
CATION. This plan will probably be followed in
winding up the company's affairs. The depart
ure of President Kemp, OF the company, ostensi-
bly, TO attend to business affairs at Sioux City,
Ia, has led to rumors that he fed to escape ar
rest. 1t is said he will return when wanted in
court There has been talk of arresting Kemp,
but the examination of the company's books
thus far has not warranted il.

THE ENGINEERS STRIKE.
Chief Arthur May Tie Up All the Rail-
roads At ST, Loufa

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. l0-The engineers and
fremen of the Belt line have declared a strike
This viii probably spread to other lines, as Mr.
Arthur stated that no freight will be handled
by Brotherhood men going to the Belt line or
Virgins Ferry Company.
There are but flfty-two engineers and fremen
in the employ of the Virgins Company, and a
strike of them alone would not amount to much,
but the Belt Line handles nearly all the freight
sent over Eastern roads for this city, and tie
up of the Belt Line would blockade an immense
amount OF freight consigned to St. Louis, and
seriously affect the trade of this city. Then, too,
Ii the men on either of the roads refused to haul
cars consigned to or from the Virgins ferry, as
Chief Arthur says they will, the roads are very
apt to attempt to force them, and If they do a
strike on a big Western road would result The
strike will probably be inaugurated tomorrow.
Mr.. Arthur and Mr.. Sargent were seen this
evening. They stated that all efforts toward q
peaceable settlement had failed, and therefore
ali the engineers and fremen employed by the
company would be ordered out at noon to-
morrow.

AN IMPORTANT SUIT.
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INVOLVED
AFFECTING NATIONAL BANKS.

The Question of tho onstitutionslity Of
the Tax Of one-Bnn OF One Per Cent Is
naiscd In Case before the Courts Of
the District Of Columbia.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The consti.
tutionality of the tax Of one-halt of one
per cent. imposed semi-annually on na.
tional banks Is raised in case before
the courts of the District ui Columbia
against the treasurer Oh nhe United
States. Treasurer Nebeker has Just
been served with the summons and the
question will probably soon reach the
supreme court. The bank bringing Che
suit Is the Twin City Nationnl bank, Of
New Brighton, Miss. The ground for
qucst!oniug the coastitutionality Of the
tax Is that this portion Of the banking
act originated Ia the senate. The con-
stitutioa provides that all bills for rails
ing revenue rhall originate in the house
of representatives,. The senate, it Is
claimed hnS authority "tO propose or
concur with amendments as on other
bills, bat the contention in this case
will be that the banking act was not
bill TO raise revenue when Ii reached the
senate and could not be transformed
into such bill by the senate There
ore other grounds upon which the tax
Is contested in the particular case before
the court. If the constitutional ques-
ton should be decided in favor of the
bank it might open the way for great
multitude OF suits for refund by the
banks throughout the country. The
statue Of limitations would probably
prev@t the recovery Of all these pay
ments back 10 the organization of the
national banking system in 1854 but it
would take more than f10,000,000 to re-
fund the taxes for the past FIVE or six

Completely Dsmoralizes Major Mckinley
in an Able Address, Delivered at Mans
fsld on Saturday Last.
MANSFIELD, Sept. 2l.-[Special. Per
feet weather and perfect arrangements
augmented by crowd of 7,0C0 people,
made the opening of the Democratic cam
paign in Richland county a complete suc-
cess. The presence of the two distinguish
ed orators, Roger q, Mills and Hon. 5. s.
Yoder, were sufficiently magnetic TO draw
large attendance from the neighboring
counties and smaller towns.
The appearance of Messrs. Mills and
Yoder in Central Park, where the speeches
were delivered, was greeted with pro-
longed cheers. Mr.. Yoder was introduced
by the chairman, Hon. John T. Seward,
and spoke briefly.
Mr.. Mills arrived here Friday evening
and during his stay was guest OF Hon.
NJ. ID. Harter. AT an early hour Saturday
business men began to decorate and when
the crowd arrived the city was in holiday
attire. Hon. S. S. Yoder arrived at ii 80
and was given reception by number OF
old soldiers at the hotel.
After applause had subsided the chair
man introduced Roger q. Mills,who spoke
at great length. He showed McKinley's
position on free coinage and completely
knocked out his tariff argument. The
speech of MIR. Mills made many votes for
the entire Democratic ticket Several
laboring men remarked that they now un-
derstood the tariff question, and would
vote against Major Mckinley.
