A NEW ELECTRIC SWITCH.


ltltOilWay Review.l
An electric railway switch has lately
been invented that Is designed to place
the control of the switch tongue in con-
troll of the motOrman on every electric
car. As is well Known. the cost to rail-
way companies of keeping men at i'm
portant switches in large stiles is very
great. This new device Is operated by
electricity taken from the trolley circuit.
The entire mechanism is placed in a
water-tight box beneath the roadbed. On
the approach of n car contact between
the ear and the device is obtained by
means of brushes that are lowered from
the platform of the car by motion of
the foot of the motorInnn. 1t consists Of

VISIT OF THE rNFANTA.
The Programme for Her Entertain
ment Satisfactory to Spain.

ment Satisfactory to Spain.
Washington, May 16.-The message of
Secretary Gresham to Minister Snowden
at Madrid Sunday night, informing him
of the conclusions reached by the admin
istration upon the matter of the reception
and entertainment of the Infanta Eulalie,
which was at once conveyed to
the Spanish minister of foreign
affairs, was apparently satisfactory
to the government of Spain,
masmuch as the captain general of Cuba
received instructions yesterday to have
the programme governing the infanta's
movements as originally prepared carried
out in the departure of her highness and
her suite from Havana for New York.
The lnfanta is expected to arrive in
New York Friday, and come direct to
Washington.
Commander Davis Of the navy, who will
act as the representative of the Presi-
dent in escorting the Spanish infanta dur
ing her visit to the United States, re-
Ceived his final instructions at the state
department this morning, and this after
noon left Washington for New York He
will meet the infanta at quarantine Fri
day, and it is expected that the royal
party will come Immediately to Washing
ton by special train over the Pennsylva-
MIA road to perform the official part of the
visit.
THE SPANISH GOVERNMENTS POSITION.
Madrid, May 16-An official statement
has been issued concerning the reception
of the Infanta Eulalie in the United
States. 1t says that the Spanish govern
ment regarded it as offensive to American
courtesy that any negotiations should be
made in advance as to the reception
in the United States of royal guests
invited by the American people to
the worlds Columbian exposition
Unsolicited, however, an intimation had
been given by the Washington govern
ment that the infanta, as the representa-
tive of the queen of the nation who dis
covered America, would be received with
the highest honOrs. This statement was
made in view of many rumors now cur
rent concerning the difficulties of arrang-
ing the details of the infantas visit to

EXCLUSION OF CHINESE.
The $6,ooo,ooo Necessary to Enforce
the Law Not Appropriated.


Washington, May 16-Numerous tele-
grams have been received at the treasury
department asking that the Chinese ex-
clusion law be suspended for at least six
months, as its execution at this time will
impose great hardships on Cinnamon in
the United States.
At the cabinet meeting to-day with a
ful attendance the Chinese question as
complicated by yesterdays decision of
the supreme court was discussed from
every point of view, and it is understood
the conclusion reached was that the law
could not be enforced for the reason that
there was no money available for
that purpose. The act only
carries an appropriation of 100000. Sec
retary Carlisle showed that not more than
$4,000 of that sum remained, with some
bills still unaudited to be acted upon. 1t
was estimated that it would cost to de-
port all the Cinnamon now in the country
who have not complied with the law more
than S6,000,000 This statement exhibited
what one member of the cabinet called the
utter inability of the government to give
any effect to the law without further
action by congress Under the circum-
stances it was understood that nothing
could be done and it is said that there is
little if any probability of the federal gov
ernment making any immediate effort no
put the law into effect. One member
OF the cabinet who holds a high
place and is looked upon sas a
man of force and strength
of character made the broad assertion
after the session was over that the law
was nothing short Of political scheme
enacted for political effect (he said, in
fact, something about "demogogry'') g,
and he intimated that there had been a
general hope among his associates that
the court would have held it to be uncon-
stitutional 1t is assumed that in the or
dinary course of diplomatic usage a copy
of the decision of the supreme court as
soon as the majority members of the court
have determined upon its exact phrase

minister, to be by him forwarded to his

The President Will Gust Him When

Washington, May 16-Evening papers
have this to say: 'The Georgia delega-
ton have been greatly exercised since the
beginning of the administration on ac-
count of difficulties in the way of the re-
moval of Marshal Buck of that state.
Marshal Buck was one of President Har-
rison's most devoted supporters
and very "offensive partisan"
from democratic point of view, but
in all their efforts to have
him removed the Georgia congressman
have received strong intimations that it
would be a long time before any change
could be expected. Charges of offensive
partisanship have been made against him
and to-day Representatives Livingston
and Moses called on the President with
documents to sustain the charges. To
their great qualification President Cleve-

CONGRESS- OF WOMEN.
The Fair Sex RGfOTmerS Out in Force
at Chicago.

The Dress Reform Wing of Their Raj
lies Attracts the Most Attention.
The Costumes Worn by Leaders in
the Movement Given More Attention
Than the Words of the Speakers.
Chicago, May 16.-The delegates to the
women'f congress started in early this
morning for hard days work The pro-
gramme for the week comprises a four
hours morning session each
dav. a visit to the fair each
afternoon and a three hours session
at night Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Brown
presided this morning over an audience of
about 1900 in the Hall of Washington,
and after devotional exercises a number
Of foreign Representatives were introduced
by Mrs. Potter Palmer and Mrs Charles
Henrotin.
Politics was the theme of the gather
ing in the big Hall of Columbus, where the
audience numbered 1900. These We're
only two of some fifteen separate and dis
tinct congresses that were in full swing
this morning.
In hall No. Z, the annual congress of the
Eastern Star, a branch of Masonry, to
which the female relatives of Master
Masons are alone eligible for membership,
was called to order by the most worthy
grand matron, Mrs. Mary G. Shedding
The congress in other halls included
one of the national committee of the
Young Women's Christian Association,
National Council of Women of the United
States and the Women's alliance. Other
congresses had reference to educational,
religious and Industrial subjects.
Mrs. Mary Wright Sewell presided over
the congress on dress uniform, and it was
here that expectation was on tip-toe.
Lucy Stone, a pioneer reformer, Frances
M. Steele, Annie Jenness Miller, the
apostle of the modern movement; Octavia
Bates and Frances w. Letter were an
nOunced as speakers, and a large audi
ence gathered in the hall. A ripple of
excitement moved across the assem- blage
when Mrs. Sewell advanced to the stage.
She wore dress reform costume, anotice-
able reform" feature being short skirts.
She wore a closely fitting dark-blue dress
with full skirts about eighteen inches
from the ground Below the dress and
incasing a serviceable pair Of walking
shoes were high, blue CATERS.
Mrs. Brown had just called
the meeting to order when
Mrs. Sewell arose to make several an
nouncements. Possibly the audience
gave more attention to the costume than
the words. A number of others who were
not called to appear so cOnspiciously wore
similar costumes to that of Mrs. Sewell,
notably Mrs Rachael Foster Avery.
Before visiting the fair this afternoon
the delegates were rendered a reception at
the Illinois Club by the Womans Club of
Chicago. A total of 5000 invitation
were issued.

A CAROLINA BANK FAILS.
a Claim That It's Assets Are Sufficient
to Pay All Liabilities.

Charleston, S. c., May 16.-The doors
of the Bank of Carolina, with its home
Office at Florence, this state, closed to-
day with notice of a temporary suspen-
sion by meeting of the directors. The
capital stock of this bank is nearly $50.
0O0 1t has branches at Kingstree, Con
way, WillistOn and Varnville in this
state, and several towns in North Caro-
lima. 1t is believed the bank has assets
to cover all its Indebtedness. The
stringency of the money market and the
consequent inability TO realize on securi-
ties held by the bank is the cause of the
failure. The bank was started by ]. p.
Coffin over two years ago, and has done q
good business and successfully withstood
considerable pressure at different times
Little, if any, doubt is entertained Of the
banks paying dollar for dollar. Mr. Cof-
fin has executed a deed of trust for all his
town lots and personal property in Flor
ence to secure any possible deficiency.

A BREAK IN A LEvEE.
The Embankment at Grand Lake Gives
Way Under the Pressure.

New Orleans, May 16.-The levee at
Grand Lake, Ark, has broken
The levee broke as the result of a
heavy storm. 1t is situated in q thinly
settled part of Arkansas just above the
Louisiana line and lies between the river
and an old slough Water from the break
will reach Bayou Macon into which the
water from the previous crevasses is now
flowing. Gov. Foster and party will
start down the river tomorrow from
Greenville and will probably visit the
break.
The river between Arkansas City and
New Orleans continues to rise and the
levees are being patrolled day and night
The Louisiana levees can stand u CON
siderable rise yet, but every precaution is
being taken against breaks. The crevasses
in Arkansas will have the effect of ex-
tending the high water season, as the
water from them must return to the Mis-
siSsippi.

to Abrogate Their Contract.
Chicago, May 16.-The directors of the
worlds Columbian exposition decided to-
day to abroeate their contract with con-
gress by which they bound themselves to
close the fair on Sunday in consideration
of an appropriation of 81, 100000. The
money will be returned to the govern
ment, and hereafter the fair will be
opened Sundays. This course was de-
cided upon at a special meeting of the di-
rectory this afternoon. Most of the di-
rectors were dissatisfied with the plan
adopted at their last meeting, by which
1t was decided to open the grounds Sun
days while closing all the buildings con-
tanning exhibits To-day's action was
practically unanimous, but two directors
out OF thirty-siX voting against the
proposition. By the terms of the reso-
luton adopted to-day the machinery
Will be closed down on Sunday but in
every other respect the fair will be open
IN all departments the same as on secular
days. But 81 ,925, 100 of the appropriation
originally made by congress has been
turned over to the exposition company,
and this amount is to be returned to the
national treasury after the debts of the
exposition are paid. A rule embodying
these points will be submitted to the
national commission for approval What
action this body will take is problem
atical, as mere working quorum of the
members is at present in the city In
any eventit is the evident purpose of the
local directors to open the fair Sundays,
even at the expense of a rupture with the
