INTERNATIONAL ROW

asked again TO act as mediator
in an international compiled
ton. This time the trouble is
between France and Venezuela,
resulting in a complete termi
nation of diplomatic relations
between them. The French
minister at Caracas recently
was given his passports, where
upon France sent two warships
to take away her minister and
all the legation archives. AT
the same time France handed
to the Venezuelan minister at
Paris his passports and he sum-
marily departed.
The request for the mediation
is now made by the Venezuelan
government through its minis
ter at Washington. He was in
structed by the Venezuelan
minister OF foreign affairs a
short while ago to request that
the United States ambassador
at Paris, Mr.. Eustis, be asked
to act as mediator in restoring
friendly relations between the
two countries. The United
States legation at Caracas was
also notified of the desire of the
Venezuelan government and
sent d recommendation to the
' State Department that the Office
of mediator be accepted.

Outlook Promising for a Prosperous
ScasQn-Distinguish Guests.
Special to the News

NARRAGANsErT PIER, June 20. The
season at Narragansett Pier is well under
way and just now presents most at
tractive appearance. The cottages are
being opened day by day and the hotels
are practically all open for the season.
AS usual a large number of guests are
registered at the Rockingham and the
Mathewson throws open its doors to-
day.
The season promises to be a gay one and
it is extremely probable that many prom
inent society people, who have heretofore
visited Newport and Bar Harbor, will
this year favor the Pier with their
presence.
Louis Sherry of New York is guest at
Greene's Inn.
The Crugers of New York are spend
ing the summer at the Rockingham.
The steamer III. S. Caswell will begin
running between the Pier and Newport
the 18th of this month.
John j. Chew, formerly secretary Of
legation at Vienna, is at the Columbus.
Among the late arrivals at the Nara
gansett are L. j. Harris and wife OF Prov
idence.
The Continental opens for the season
Thursday.
Admiral II. N. Stembel and Mrs. Stem

MORE CAPITAL.


The announcement that the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Railroad Com
pany will increase its capital 25 per cent.
and will also issue 80, PSF, 500 more deben->
ture certificates, will be regarded as es-
pecially important for several reasons.
This road has monopoly OF the freight
and passenger traffic between New York
and New England by land and water. 1t
is expending vast sums OF money upon its
road-bed and terminals. 1t is and has
been one of the best managed financial
institutions in the country and has been
regarded as a strictly business corpora
tion.
OF late there has been a certain liberal
izing OF policy and decided tendency
toward more progressive methods. Vari-
Gus competing and contributing roads
and steamship lines have been bought up.
One or two not really purchasable have
been hemmed in, and restricted, and
harrassed until they are not fairly COM
petitors. Probably no road in America has
ever undertaken road-bed reorganization
that is SO radical and so expensive. The
terminal improvements are also on gi-
gantic scale in several cities. For many
years to come there must be great sums
of money expended to perfect works al
ready under way or planned.
But when the rebuilding is at length
completed, when there are four tracks from
New York TO Boston, when grade eros
sings and sharp curves are abolished,
when the new terminals are completed
then will arrive tile hslcyon days of lib
eral coupon-cutting.
Providence is dependent upon this road
to far greater extent than is safe or de-
sirable, and for some time the feeling
has been that our business interests are
not being considered by the road officials
in as liberal a spirit as they merit. 1t is
fully recognized, we think, that the neg
lect is due TO the great enterprises the
road has elsewhere on hand. We expect
to receive fair treatment, finally. Patience
is, however, virtue we did not expect to
be called upon to exercise TO such an ex-
tent. and therefore we are sometimes inn
patient.
Providence has singularly little fnan-
cial interest in the New Haven road-far
too little II our capitalists held consid-
erable blocks OF the stock-as they do not
there would be substantial ground for
demanding liberal treatment. AS it Is,
Providence is only customer Of the road
and customer who must give its custom
to the road. Our business men and our
travellers have no choice but to patronize
the New Haven road.
So it transpires that we can only look
on anu lnuulBe tne nOpe tnae 'he he"
capital and the receipts from the deben-
ture sales will place the New Haven
roads treasury in such an easy condition
that it may feel like pushing our termi-
nal improvements along somewhat more
rapidly, and grant US such facilities for
travel and freightage as will place us on
an even footing, at least, with the small
towns on the Old Colony division.

THE WOMAN WHO SUMMERS IN
TOWN

When the hot days make their appear
ance and an examination OF the domestic
purse reveals the hard fact that trip to
the mountains or cottage at the beach
is financial impossibility, then this
"summering in town" rises to the digni-
ty OF problem. And this is exactly the
problem that is demanding solution OF the
majority of women just now and here.
How to continue living amid the same
surroundings that have been in daily evil
lence all winter and not grow to ehafe
under the monotony; how to infuse some
thing Of the summers genial spirit into
,he daily round that the hot weather
makes more like drudgery than anything
else; how to keep ones temper serene,
the children well, the house cool; these
are foremost questions in the mind OF the
woman who knows that she and her
household must stay in the city during
the summer.
The magazines devoted to the interests
of home and women are not 10th to give
good advice on these topics. There are
hosts of suggestions and the woman who
has the summer problem before her de-
YOURS them all eagerly-and sometimes
she does find something really helpful.
But when she reads of a sister similarly
placed who proceeds to establish hot
weather comfort by taking up all her
carpets, painting floors and substituting
rugs, there is lurking conviction in her
own mind that II she could afford to re-
model and refurnish her house she could
afford equally well to spend the season
out OF town.
II would be delightful to be able to fol-
low to the letter the published sugges-
tions as to the right preparation for day
that promises TO carry the mercury up in
to the nineties; but for her to "devote
fully an hour or two" to her morning
toilet would be scarcely feasible in view OF
the 7 o'clock breakfast that must be pre-
pared and served.
But in the end the strong common
sense OF the woman most concerned is
sure to come to the rescue and show her
the~say best suited to her individual
need.
We assume, OF course, that she is the
right kind OF woman-the kind that
g;nce she knows the necessity Of remain
w in town is determined to make the
best Of IL and not keep the whole domestic
atmosphere at white heat by her fretting
and discomfort. In the first place she
avoids talking about the unbearable
weather, and she steels herself against a
zoo constant attendance upon the ther-
mometer. series OF "whewsl" uttered
In order OF climax and accompanied by n
tally-keeping OF the number OF degrees
that the mercury has risen during the
last two hours, will result In heatstroke
for the whole family.
And also this right kind OF a woman
knows that there is no more fundamental
factor in keeping a house comfortable
than neatness
80 the "spring cleaning" is kind OF
forearming against the heat campaign.

Death of Walter Cndman

Mr.. Walter Cadman, one of the oldest en-
ployes of the War Department, died at his
home, 1882 AZ street southwest, Wednesday
night in the sixty-fourth year of his age,
from an attack of apopleXy.
He was native of England, but had been
a resident of this city for the past forty-two
years, most of which time he was employed
in the War Department. He was messenger
to Jeff Davis when that gentleman was Sec
rotary of War, and subsequently he served
under Secretary Stanton in the same ca
pacity. 1t is related of him that he then
saved $4,000 in greenbacks in the hands of
army paymaSterS. According to the story
he had been ordered to accompany a paw
master to the federal army in the valley of
Virginia, and as the clerk of the paymaster
he was given the money in a Satchel. Mos
by'S men held up the train, which was on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad The pay
master was in uniform and was taken by
the confederateS and sent to Richmond. Mr.
Cadman was in citizens clothes, and, like
all other passengers who did not wear the
livery of the federal army, he was passed
by. He delivered the money, the army was
paid off, and he reported to Secretary Stan
ton, who complmented him upon his
strategy.
At the time of his death Mr.. Cadman held
a clerkship in the surgeon generals office, to
which he had been appointed about twenty
years before. He leaves wife, four daugh-
tiers and a son. Mr.. E. P. Duffy of the Sun
staff in Baltimore is his son-in-law He was

A LABOR TROUBLE COMPROMISED.
Union and NOn-UniOn Carpenters
Working at Convention Hall.

A labor trouble was threatened Wednes
day afternoon at Convention Hall, which
is being converted into a skating rink.
For some time past a large force of car
penters has been ct work there, and every
thing progressed satisfactorily until the dis
covery was made In the morning that part
of the force were urion men while the rest
were not. Under the rules of d. A. SO, K.
of L., and the Federation of Labor II would
have been necessary when this state of af-
fairs was ascertained for the union men
to insist that the non-urion be discharged
and their places filed by union men.
little investigation revealed that there
are no union carpenters in the city out of
employment, and while the company, It
was stated, was willing to have all union
Zen, it was impossible to procure them.
A compromise was effected, By which two
gangs of non-unon men of twenty each
will work from pm until S am, ca CHI gang
taking eight hours The union gang also
numbering twenty, will labor from q. IN. I'M
til pm. Both union and non-union car
peLters the job are receiving the same
pay. 81. So per day.
