PROTECTING BRAKEMEN,
Railroad Men Want More Time t.
Put Grab Irons on Cars.


WASHINGTON, July u, 1S95.-The
Interstate Commerce Commission today
granted a hearing to representatives of
the New York, Lake Erie & Western
Railroad Company, who asked for an ex-
tension of time in placing grab irons or
hand-holds in the end and sides of their
cars for. greater security to employees IN
coupling and uncoupling cars, which
was required by an act of Congress
which took effect July l, 1895.
Samuel t. Conklfn, for the receivers
of she road. addressed the Commission
ers. He said that when the act was
passed the employees of the road were
directed to commence plans to comply
with it. In August, 1898, drawings were
sent to all the repair shops bearing up
on the character of grab irons to be
placed upon the cars and additional
instructions were issued in December,
1893 in regard to the placing of them on
flat and gondola cars. In February;
1894, 1000 cars of the road were equipped
with them and the work continued as
rapidly as was conslstesnt ts e WIN 9ne con con

NO MONETARY CONFERENCE.
England H6pelessiy opposed to the
BimptalIic Nonsense


WASHINGTON, July 12, 1895.-No ex-
pectation of an International monetary
conference assembling this year is en-
tertained by government officials. Few
officials here, in the confidence of the
administration, have had any but the
fainltest hope that a monetary confer
ence would meet, or that if it did
IN the present state of foreign
any practical results wou follow. The
position of the United Sts .es, autlnorita-
lively announced soon after the inaugur-
alton of President Cleveland, that as a
nation we would occupy passive at
titude and not take the initiative in re-
assembling the Brussels monetary con-
ference, left the initiative with other ma
tions, who have not taken it up.
The spasmodis efforts made in the agri-
cultural sections of Germany by the
agrarians to have the German Govern
ment as nation move in the matter of
convening an International conference
are regarded here as simply political
movements designed as an escape valve
for pent up steam. The agrarians feel
the need of more money and are gener-
ously allowed to say SO and are assu@ed
that if the German Government
should agree to their demands Germany
will invite the nations of the world to
take such action as will afford relief
to the agrarian element. The German
government, however, shelters itself be-
hind the plea that Great Britain will

bly,.
In the pages devoted to the boy
hood of his father we have valuable
psychological study of the religious de-
velopment of one to the missiOn-fi
born, and his struggles are told for the
most part in his own words. He was
a lonely child whose journal was ever
his bosom friend, and through its
pages we find him athirst for study,
fonder of books than play, ambitious,
imaginative, interpretive and terri
bly, conscientious. At the age of tif-
teen we find the missionary Inherit
ance and surroundings crystallizing
into this dedication: 'I will claim the
whole heather world as my country
men," which was a prophecy of his
whole life's work.
At twenty-three he had completed
his studies, medical and theological,
which not infreGuently he bad pur-
sued at the cost of his health. AL
though in magnetic touch with world
events, he was yet eager to leave them
and live in Polynesia, whose people
in darkness he must lead to the light.

CHARGES AGAINST CAPT. SMITH
His Friends Are Angry and Assert
His Innocence.

The friends of Captain Paul
Smith are highly indignant over
the accusations made against Mr..
Smith in an evening paper by two
men who have been in his employ
on the dredger. One of these men
was recently discharged and the
other has been indisposed for some
time on account of an overloaded
stomach. Such is the statement
of Mr.. Smiths friends. The opium
which it is claimed was appro-
priated by Mr.. Smith had been de-
posted in the bottom of the harbor
long enough to become thoroughly
diluted with salt water and in a
condition to be untitled for use
during the worst opium famine
ever known. Mr.. Smiths landlord
is authority for the statement that
no chicken coops or fences have
been constructed On his premises
by Government laborers. It is un-
derstood that numerous complaints
against Mr.. Smith have been made
to the Minister of the Interior and
the Superintendent of Public
Works. These have been thorough
ly investigated and found to be
without foundation.

never the convictions. Nor would he
stay to cause dissensiOn in the Board ;
and so he went, amid words of regret
and appreciation even from those who
did not approve his politics.
Here our absorbing interest wanes,
for what most concerns us, what is
most novel to the general reader, has
been told. AS the author says in her
preface, "His later missionary expert
ences were in line with what the
Christian church already understands.
They have therefore been crowd
ed into narrower compass"
And yet these later chapters
record more missionary labor than is
often the privilege of one man
twenty years work, part of it in the
Roman Catholic countries of Europe
and then an ever increasing burden OF
laboring under the American Bible
Society in Japan and China.
What wonder that the inevitable
over-pressure brought "tempests of
pain " and weakened energies which
refused to be renewed? The last pages
are pathetic in their burden of sorrow,
but sublime in the grandeur of faith.
And they add the final touches to the
picture of this consecrated, fearless,
ardent, human missionary.

The BENNINGTON

One of the officers Of the Ben
nington was spoken to last night
regarding the intended movements
of his vessel. He stated that it
was probable she would remain at
this port until recalled, unless
more cases of cholera should break
out in the city. In event Of this
she will sail for Kauai. The i'm
preston had been spread abroad
that the Bennington would remain
at this port a week or so and then
proceed to another port, regardless
of whether more cholera developed
or not. While at Hilo the officers
of the Bennington had delightful
time. They were treated right
royalty by the citizens. Five OF
the officers rode to the volcano and
have been talking of hardly any
thing else since.

with inflammation of the stomach
and bowels. All the physicians
have visited him, and at late hour
last night his recovery was con-

a similar attack, but less severe,
some weeks ago, and, though he
has been attending to business
since then, he had not recovered
his former health when he had this
second attack. He is well known
here in connection with the firm Of

his father is a senior member. For
