Owing to the dangerous illness of Mrs.

Bliss has been permitted to see her mother,
and spends the greater portion Of each day
at the latter's bedside, in the residence of

ment was brought about by Mr.. Henry E.
Davis. the attorney for DIR. Bliss and Mr..
Ashley M. Gould and Michael J. Colbert,
the attorneys for Mrs. Bliss. 1t will be
membered that considerable public interest
was aroused some weeks ago by the publi-

differences existing between DIR. Bliss and
his wife. The parties had separated some

MORE PASSENGERS THAN POWER,
Capital Railway Unable to Meet De-
mnnds. Upon 1t.

mands Upon 1t.
The Capital Railway Company was I'M
able last evening to handle the increased
traffic offered from the Capital traction line
and was obliged to abandon its line north
of the Navy Yard bridge, ard, until the
new Dynamo already ordered, can be put
in place, there will be TO further attempt
to operate it. A week or more must elapse
before the new machinery can be made
available.
AS vas stated in The Star of last even
ing, the extension of the new road was
opened to travel yesterday morning. Dur.
ing the day everything moved splendidly,
each ca, being well filed with passengers:
but soon after nightfall, when those living
in the city who wanted to reach Congress
Heights quickly began to wend their way
thither. President Randle and Superinten-
dent Brouthers realized that the dynamo
and engines Of the company could not with
safety stand the increased strain, and with
much reluctance the order was given to
operate by electricity for the present only
that portion OF the line which Is run by the
overhead trolley. In spite of all that could
be done to avert 1t. the current breaker in
the power house came out repeatedly and
the shutting down of the underground part
of the system became a matter of COM
prlsion.
When lie Capital Railway Company's
line was projected, even the most enthusi-
astic friend Of the enterprise believed that
a dynamo of 1OO-kilowatt capacity would
be sufficient for all the demands upon the
line for years to come, but the experience
the past week convinced the management
to the contrary.
The dynamo, which is now being con-
structed by the Siemens-Halske Company.
will be of 2O0-kilowatt capacity, and is ex-
pected to easily furnish sufficient electric
ity TIC run at least fourteen or fifteen loaded
cars without difficulty.
The system of transfers between the Can
ital railway end the Capital Traction COM
panies at the junction of the two roads at
the navy yard gate. which was also for
rally begun yesterday, will be continued
and but one fare will in future be REQUIRED
to take the passenger from Congress
Heights to Chevy Chase, and vice versa

agree to the unlimited coinage of silver
at a ratio even wider from the mark
than 16 to /, the British cabinet would
take this modest step. Still it would
not be unconditional. 1t is further
provided that "the prices at which sill
yer is procurable and salable should
be at any given time satisfactory.
That is to say, the British government
would not deem itself bound by its en-
gagement or obliged to carry it out IN
less it were pleased with the current
market quotation of silver. And if sill
yer bullion could be bought too high
or too low. or if it must be sold at
prices too low or too high, Great Brit
ain would thereby be absolved from her
premise France and the United States
might revolutionize their whole cur
rency systems and go to the silver
basis, and within a year or a month,
OF day, England would be at liberty
to announce coolly that the price at
which silver was procurable and sal
able was not satisfactory to her, and
she would, therefore, have to withdraw
from the arrangement.
The whole affair bears, as we have
said before, marks of the shrewd wire
pulling Of Mr.. McKinley's monetary
commissioners abroad. We have given
it as much attention as we have, not
be cause it has the slightest bearing
upon practical affairs, but to exhibit
its purely artificial and diplomatic
character; and to show the worthless
ness of the pretext upon which it is
being attempted once more to disturb
the financial condition and thwart the
growing prosperity of the United States
and the rest of the world.

THE BUNsBY OF THE BANK.

1t is not short of amusing to find
the furOre over the supposed action of
the Bank of England in the matter of
it's reserves simmering down to a de-
claration worthy of Bunsby himself
We have now the actual text of the
letter addressed by the governor of
the Bank of England to Sir Michael
Hicks Beach. 1t concludes with the
assertion that the bank is prepared to
go to the limit permitted by it's char
ter and hold one-fifth of it's reserve in
silver, provided that the French minis
were re-opered to the free coinage Of
silver and that the prices at which sill
yer is procurable and salable should be
at any given time satisfactory" If
ever a laboring mountain brought forth
a ridiculous mouse, surely this is a
case of it. The information conveyed
is not worth the cost Or the pains Of
writing it down. What is it that the
Bank of England agrees to do and on
what terms! 1t agrees Iudl the pro-
vision of the bank act permitting it
to hold one-fifth of the small reserve
held against its circulating notes in
silver coin instead of gold may be act
ed upon. But what are the conditions
and reservations? The change itself,
if carried out would be a mere trifle.
The employment by Great Britain of
this small sum of silver would have
practically no effect upon the market
1t is explicitly stated and understood
that England is to do no more than
this that she is to maintain the single
gold standard and that she is not to
be expected to make any larger use of
silver coinage in her actual circulating
medium. Therefore, her promise, if
actually performed, is of no conse-
quence whatever.
Before it is to be performed. however,
certain events are to come to pass. The
first of these is the opening of the
minis of France to the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 151a to l. The
same condition, it is understood, is to
apply to the United States. That is,
if America and France will together

The freights were numbers 21, west
bound, loaded with general merchan-
disc, and a. eastbound, loaded chiefly
with flour from Minneapolis. Ten cars
of freight, together with both locomo-
tives, were derailed and more or less
damaged. The track was soon cleared
of debris, and no through trains were
delayed
The westbound freight, No. q, was
delayed somewhat and passing Irvine
considerably behind time 1t is sup
posed that the engineer, being behind,
forgot that he was to pass No. "A near
that point and was consequently run
ming through at the usual speed. No
telegraph orders were involved, as
both trains were regulars and train
men had standing orders regarding
the passing.
Considerable merchandise and flour
were scattered about the scene of the
accident, and demoralized condition
of affairs appeared. The trainmen
were buried beneath their engines and
were taken out dead death probably
having been instantaneous. The two
engineers, who were middle-aged men,
leave families. All resided at Chippe-
wa Falls. Fireman Thompson, who es-
capped by jumping, resides here also.
The bodies of the dead men were
promptly conveyed to this city, and
the injured men, all of whom will re-
cover, were taken to the city and
placed in hospital. Fireman Smiley,
who was killed, was single man.
The immediate scene of the accident
is sparsely settled part of the state.
The first report of the accident came
from Albertville, three miles distant.
Engineer Smith was running train No
81, westbound, and Warren was on
the train going east. Both were old
engineers and had been running on
that part of the line for a nmber of
years.
Charles Horn, conductor of No. q,
claims that he still had one minute
to make the switch before the sched-
uled time of No. "a Train No. "a had
the right of way, and was in charge
of Conductor William Benton Of Min

loss in damage to freight will be light.
