Some little timo ago heard of an &C.
currence that took place at Broadway
and Chambers street ON 4 cable car, and
incidentally it was stated that no one
saw it because there was no other vehicle
on the block As this was in the middle
of the afternoon it seemed incredible
till l tested it personally. Twice have
seen that very condition Of things right
there, once Oh the block below Cham
bers and once ON the block above, and
again on the heavily travelled block be-
tween John and Fulton, and yesterday
morning at 10 o'clock there was SINH
lar vacuum of vehicles on the block be-
tween Cortlandt and Liberty. Below and
above, Broadway was full enough of
wagons going both ways. 1t reminded
me of the passageway for the Israelites
through the Red sea. New York is full

odds apparently would be millions to

seen it four times within short period.
Some might say here that the man
who looks for such things is the only

How we walk through the world,
blind to the commonest things, was il
1ustrated the other day at a summer
boarding house. A bunch of delicate
white flowers was in a little vase on the
table, mixed with some wisps Of droop-
ing grain pods. Somebody wondered
idly what made up the bouquet. 1t was
finally decided, though not without
question, that the grain was rye, but
the blossoms no one recognized. When
everybody had admitted that it was a
species of wild flower that she and he
had never come across, their gatherer
was called, and the company, with
chagrin and humiliation, received the
word that they were-potato blossoms. -

Missions grand aerial ballet /,

Missions grand aerial ballet loses
none of its attractiveness as the week
passes, and is indeed more popular with
every presentation and every evening
the house Is crowded to the doors with
delighted spectators. The afternoon
business is likewise very large. This is
the banner week at this popular thea
ter. The wonderfully brilliant spectac-
ular effects accompanying the ballet are
indeed immensely effective, and the
beautiful dancing ladies, the prettiest
that Mr. Nilsson could find in Paris, de-
light all. The speciality bill given IS
also full of delightful acts, and alto
gether visit to the Wonderland this
week is very pleasant. At the after
noon performances ladies are admit
ted to all parts Of the house for 10 cents.
Next week the three beautiful Haw-
thorne sisters will be the attraction,
appearing in their remarkable protean

TONNAGE AGREEMENT.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Issues Il Circular.

Washington, July 1O-The numerous
statements of tonnage agreements en-
tered into by various railroads and ale
cations that the agreements were sane
toned by the Interstate commerce COM
mission have resulted in the issuance of
a circular letter in which the commission
calls the attention of all railroads to the
statutory prohibition of pooling agree
ments. The question whether tonnage
agreements are actually embraced within
the language of tho interstate commerce
act has not yet been decided. No COM
plants of violation of the law through
the making of the tonnage agreements
have been filed here, but the commission
has sent its letter to the railroads in
order to dissipate the idea that such
agreements were officiaffilly approved
The majority of the members of the COM
mission favor certain amendments to the
act and regard the pooling prohibition
provision as interfering materially with
its enforcement, while several favor au-
thoriZing pooling and depricate its pro-
hibition. 1t is not within the province of
the commission to take action in criminal
cases against roads further than to refer
matters to the department of justice.
This will be the procedure in cases of
traffic complaints that the law is being
violated by tonnage agreements. Any in
tention of making a test case to settle
the legality of the tonnage agreements is
diSclaimed.

Mr.. Eustis had given a disavowal OF

he has made any reflection, has pre-
vented action by the Spanish minister

the subject last night. He said: Our

all the states and are thoroughly con-
WINGED not only that we can suitably
entertain the '97 convention. but that

round criminal, was the leader of a
gang of thieves who plundered mer-

amount of thousands of dollars. While
here he won the affections of Aggie
Smith, the pretty daughter Of respec-
table parents. When Bernard was ar
rested, Aggie stole a large sum of
money from her father, secured Ber-
nard's release on straw bonds and
eloped with her lover to New York,
where it is said Bernard forced her
to lead a. life of shame for his sup
port. A San Francisco detective recOg-
nized Aggie in New York and through
her traced Bernard, who is now in Jail

CANNOT DO IT.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS DE-
CLINE MIR. KOHLSAAT,S OFFER
Today VIII Decide Where the Next
Convention Will BE HeId-There
Is Lively Bidding.

Boston, July 1O-The most import
ant proceedings in connection with the
fourteenth annual convention of the
Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor. which formally opens at
$50 a. m. tomorrow. was the meeting
of the trustees of the organization to-
day.
The chief business to be considered
was the offer of H. H. Kohlsaat, of the
Chicago Times-Herald, who had agreed
to pay $4,000 a year for three years
towards the maintenance of the
society's headquarters on condition
that they be removed from Boston to
Chicago. After a committee had
passed adversely on the subject and
reported, the report of-the committee
was unanimously accepted and the
headquarters Will not be removed from
Boston at. present.
The committee reported their appre-
citation of the generosity of Mr.. Kohl
saat'S offer, which, they were pleased
to note, indicated that the work of the
society was thereby recognized as be-
ing of a national and international
character. The work, however, is
wholly one of influence. - 1t is not
necessary that the society should have

is successfully carried cn at a nominal
expense, and the principles of the
organization forbid the headquarters
being more than a bureau of informa-
ton, levying no taxes and seeking no
authority. Therefore, they concluded
it to be inexpedient to accept this kind
offer. A letter embodying the decision
of the trustees was tonight mailed to
Mr.. Kohlsaat.
Besides the routine business and the
consideration of the question of re-
moval to Chicago, the only matter of
general interest was the presentation
of the claims of Los Angeles, Cal, for
the convention of 1897 The delegates
from California who presented the
claims of Los Angeles included Leon
ard Merrill, state secretary of the So
ciety; Rev. A. w. Ryder and Herbert
Wyllie, all of Los Angeles. Mr.. Mer-
rill made the argument and urged as
chief among his reasons the fact that
the city was the only one on the Pa
cific coast that had three railroads
running into it; that its climate at this
time of the year was superb and I'M
failing; that the endeavorers there had
already raised considerable money in
anticipation of getting the convention.
and that the business men of the place
had guaranteed to, subscribe Ghough to
cover the expenses of the convention.
Tomorrow, the claims of Portland.
Ore, San Francisco and Seattle win be
presented and the matter taken under
Amusement
The trustees then accepted an in
vitation from Mayor Curtiss, of Bos-
ton, to go with other guests on u trip
down the harbor on the city's boat
and to visit the public institutions of
Boston
The trustees will meet tomorrow to
decide the matter of the 1897 conven-
ton, and also to take action looking
towards the expansion of the society
into world organization.
