Ex-Minfster Dun Talks of Japanese
Affairs.

Affairs.
MILWAUKEE,, Wis, September s.
Edwin Dun, exUnited States Minister
to Japan, in an interview today, says
he does not apprehend any trouble be-
tween Japan and the United States
with regard to Hawaii. If the United
States is bound to annex Hawaii he
thinks that it can be done in such a
manner as to avoid friction. AS to the
advisability of annexing Hawaii, Mr..
Dun did not express himself for publi-
cation.
Mr.. Dun is of the opinion that good
will result from the recent action of
Japan in adopting a 32-to-1 monetary
standard.

penitsntiary. and secretary Of the Ma

Of leasing convic;s, or convict farming,

Chaplain Milllgan believes that the an

in December. at Austin, Texas, will
sound the death knell Of the system"
and says tina; the matter OF a discussion
Of a plan OF campaign FOR its abolition
will form the chief work OF the coming

WHEELING, OCTOBER 5, 1891.
AIR Motor on Street halfway.

Some time since The Inteilseacsr refer
red to test OF air motors which was be-
ing made on one OF the street railway
lines OF Washington, to prove the prac-
t!c=billty Of such motive power prepara-
tory TO the granting OF the right 20 It's
adoption by the board OF commissioners
of the District OF Columbia. on one OF
the suburban lines an air motor has been
in constant operation for several months
and Its prsetieabIllty has been closely
investigated by the engineer commits
sloner Of the District. This official has
Just presented favorable report and it
is probable that two OF the Washington
street railway companies will imme-
diltely equip their lines with air motors,
providing the required permission is
granted.
The experience has settled the main
point in dispute. namely, whether OF not
an air motor can make the most difficult
run over an entire line under single
charge. During the months under which
the test was made under the supervision
OF the engineer commissioner, the motor
demonstrated that the system IS a sue
cess in this particular, Notwithstanding
a previous experiment In another city
had been unfavorably reported upon.
The point was that II sinsla charge
would not carry the car over Oe line a
pipe line would be NECESSARY. with fire.
quent charging stations az Intervals
This objection seems TO have been CON-
plstely knocked out and the problem OF
a cheap power TO take the place Of the
costly electric and cable systems IS re-
Eardsd by many as having been solved
All that is necessary is the facility for
the charging and recharEins Of the stor-
age bottles at the terminal stations.
where COMPRISING plants Will be es;aG
Ilshed.
II the experiment uf Washington City
with the compressed air system on its
rapid transit lines snail prove as success
ful and as practical as the nature OF the
Washington engineers report indicates
1t will. the result may be a revolutloniz-
ing OF the street railway systems. and the
days OF the trolley and its overhead
wires, and the noisy and dangerous cable
system may soon be things Of the past.
II 1t can be proved that the more econ
omical and less dangerous compressed
air power will answer all purposes that
system will doubtless be generally
adopted.

Il seems that the nomination of Van
Wyck. the Tammany candidate FOR
mayor Of Greater New York. has shocked
the moral sensibllltles OF the city, and
already predictions are freely made that
he viii be withdrawn before election day.
Van WICK was Cookers selection, but
no one knew s. until the convention met,
when the bosses showed their hands and
the scheme went through. Even Tam
manyites are dissatisfied with the ticket,
Van Wyck has not a sayory reoo.d,
and some OF the payers are reproducing
their accounts published the morning az
Ter the notorious and scandaious French
bah which was held in 1850, aswh!eh this
man VINO has been named by the Demo
cratic convention as first mayor OF the
greater city. was arrested on a charge
Of being drunk and disorierly. At that
time he was judge o: the city court and
one OF the Tsmmany office holders.
This is the man whom the Democrats
have put up for chief executive, at the
dictaton Of Tammany Han.against Cen
eral benjamin F. Tracy. the Republican
candidate. man Of high character and
strict integrity; also against Seth Low,
the candidate Of the non-partisaa CID
zens' Union. and man who IS likewise
respected and esteemed by the whole
community; and also against Henry
George. representing the radical free sil-
yer or Bryan wing OF the Democracy.
1t Is an interesting situation 90 the
outcome Of which depends the reputation
OF the metropolis. 1t IS unfortunate that
the forces opposed TO Tammany could no;
find 1t in their way to unite in the cam
palgn. There are hints however that
the dissatisfaction among the better eie-
ment Of the Democracy with the man
forced on them by the Tsmmany orsaai-
zation may bring about his withdrawal
Matters are very much mixed and the
Developments OF the campaign will be
watched with interest by the whole ooua-
Try.
