Estimates Considered High.

WASHINGTON, Feb.12. The sub-commit-
tee of the House committee o. commerce
is considering the report OF the Nicaragua
canal commission. TIE general impress
sion among the members Of the sub-com-
mittee is That the estimate Of The commits
sion for the completion of the work
(SlS6, 000, 000) is entirely too high. Mr..
Doolittle OF Washington says that there
are gentlemen in the United States who
can give the best OF security for carrying
u their contract who will agree TO COM
plete the work for $40, 0O0. 600. Next Tues
day the sub-committi will meet for the
purpose OF drawing up n rouge draft of a
bill for submission TO the iull COMMITTEES.
IL is probable that the Morgan bill which
was before the Senate i'm the last Congress
will form che basis OF the bill to be pre-
pared. The guarantee of the bonds of the
company To an extent not exceeding
500, 100000 will be the main proposition.
The government viii secure a majority OF
the stock and be insured a perpetual ma
jority OF tho directorate. The bill viii
also provide for the prosecution OF the
Work under this inspection Of government
engineers and will provide for complete
supervision, auditing, etc. OF all accounts

SPECIAL SESSION.
A ThorOughfare Between Roger Williams
Park and Olneyville Square.

The committee on highways went over
the proposed extension Of Huntington

port tomorrow at the special session of
the City Council This meeting is called
for the purpose of accepting the report
ofihe commissioners on award and assess
ment Who We're appointed by The Su-
preme Court to deal with the owners OF
property on the / ne of the new thorough
fare. The 90 days since the commission
report was filed would expire next Mon
Gay, hence the special session in order To
take action within the time required by
law.
Huntington avenue already extends
from the junction of Broadway and West
minister street TO Chambers street. The
new part VIII extend in q curve aud skirt
along the line of the railroad west OF the
M%ashapaug pond to Carter street. 1t will
provide a direct and adequate thorough
fare between EimNood avenue and Olney-
vile square SO that residents of the
Eighth and Tenth Wards may have a
comparatively short cut TO Roger Williams
Park instead OF going through Messer
street to Cranston and then throug Pot
ter avenue TO the Boulevard.
Another big advantage OF the new part
OF the avenue, in the opinion of the chair
man of the highway committee, 8 THAI il
will give a good terminus TO Carter, Msdi-
son, Calder, Croker, Plymouth, Grand
and seabury streets, thoroughfares which
nov run of to what are technically known
as "deadends.h

Two Trains Crash
Together.
Head-On Collision on the
Main Line
Of the New York Central Rail-
Z road This Morning.
Three Men Were Killed and Three
Badly Injured.
Accident Happened at the Macedon Swamp
Near Fairport, N. Y.

ROCHESTER,, n. Y, Feb. 12.-An

train came together in a head-on COLI
sion at the Macedon Swamp on the main
line of the New York Central this morn
ing, killing three men and injuring

miles n a half. Suddenly the flash of
a headlight was distinguished, but ow-
ing to the snow, it was not discovered
until the trains were too close together
to avert the collision. The dead are:

Issued Today on TranSvaal
Developments.
Views Taken by English Press
Protested Against.
Emper0r'S Act Was Not One of Hos
tility Toward England.

BERLIN, Feb ia white book was
issued today on the Transvaal develop
ments. In it is published the first dispatch
sent by Baron Marschal Won Bieberstein,
the minister of foreign affairs, to Count
Won Hatzeldt-W indeburg, the Geramn
ambassador at London, dated February,
1895, with reference to the remarks of the
for foreign affairs, upon President Krh-
gers toast in honor of Emperor William
upon the occasion of the latter's birth
day. In his message Baron Marschal FOR
Bieberstein declares that German martial
interests require the maintenance of the
Transyaal as an independent state in the
sense OF the treaty of 1884, and the up
holding of the status quo regarding the
railways and harbor of Delagoa Bay. He
added that DR.. Jameson's idea that
Rhodes was to become a commercial union
or a federation of all the South African
states was antagonistic to German inter-
ests.
The German ambassador at London re-
Piled saying that the:Marquis of Salisbury
has stated TO him that he concurred with
Germany In the wish that the status quo
in the Transvaal should be maintained.
On December 30, 1896, the Germans Of
Pretoria telegraphed to Emperor William
imploring him TO intervene in order to
avert misery and bloodshed.
Baron Marschal Won Bieberstein on the
following day te~legraphed to the German
consul at Pretoria, saying that in case Of
an emergency, after consulting with
President Kruger, and for the purpose Of
protecting the German consulate, ana the
lives and property of the Germans, he was
at liberty TO requisition a landing party
from the German cruiser See-Adler, so
long as the disturbance continued. At
the same time the German minister at
Lisbon was directed TO acquaint Portugal
that Germany intended to serve only
humane purposes and counted confidently
upon the assent of Portugal to land at
Delagoa Bay, a detachment of sailors not
TO exceed so men.
Count Won Hatzfeldt-W ildenburg tele-
graphed on January ], 1896, that il was
MS impression that Mr. ameson's expedi-
tion was in every way distasteful to the
British government.
On the same day the German consul at
Pretoria telegraphed that all danger was
over.
The white book concludes with dis
patch from Baron Marschal Won Bieber-
stein TO Count Won HatZfeldt- Wildenburg
protesting against the view taken by the
English press that Emperor Williams tele-
gram to President Kruger was an act of
hostility to Great Britain of an encroach-
ment upon British rights.

Se~veralCitizen Registered
Too Often.
Some Cases Were Result of
Defective Memories.
Others Brought About by a Mistaken
Notion Of the Law.

The work of copying the names of
citizens who registered during the year
1896 into the ward district books has been
completed and the board of canvassers
and registration is now engaged in pre-
pairing the several district lists for the
printers. 1t will be finished the latter part
of this or the early part of next week,
and it will then be possible to give the
number of registry voters in each ward
and district.
Curious as it may seem the work OF
trsnscribing the names for the printers
lists has developed the fact that a very
considerable number of citizens of this
town have registered twice. Several rea-
sons for this duplication are given by
members OF the board. I'm some Instances
il is thought that citizens while slightly
exhilarated from indulgence in the cup
which cheers and also inebriates, have
realized that they had a public duty to
perform by qualifying themselves as
voters and have straightway proceeded to
perform that duty. Later on when this
temporary exhileration passed away, they
forgot what they had done and registered
again. Then there is another class which
is afflicted with loss of memory without
indulgence in meretricious mixtures.
Several of this class during the period Of
registration called at the Office of the
board and stated they could not remember
whether or not they had regis, cred.
Their names were looked up and n num-
Der OF Implications saved IN that way.
Others, however, said nothing about the
matter out registered a second time and
now the board is striking off the extra
names. Then some citizens have a notion
thai as they haTe -meTea-from one ward
TO another or from one district TO another
district in the came ward, after register
ing, they are Obliged to register again.
This of course is a mistaken idea. All
the citizen has to do in such a case as that
is To notify the board Of his change OF
residence and his name will be placed in
the proper district.

1T WILL SAVE LIFE.
Possible Use of New Light In Steel and

WASHINGTON, Feb. II. The possible use
of the new processes OF photography, in
volving the application of the cathode
rays, in determining the existence Of
secret flaws in metals, is now about to Be
tested thoroughly at the Carnegie works,
where a large amount Of naval construc-
tion Is under way. The proper apparatus
has been secured n the experts arc now
at work to demonstrate whether or not
the new rays will penetrated thick bouies
of metal. III this can he done, the inn
p%ortance of the process from an indus
trial standpoint can scarcely be over es-
timated. 1t will be possible to secure sn
exact knowledge of the nature of the
metal of great guns without running the
risk of explosion; defects in the shafts
can be developed before the shafts break
and thereby cause loss of life and prop
erty, and steel castings used for structural
purposes can be accurately tested before
being put in place.

LONDON, Feb. 12.-In the house of

Mr.. Dillon also al amend
