Cannot Help distressed Americans.

WASHINGTON. June 23.-From Central
America comes news Of one of the pitiful
cases that at short intervals are brought
to the attention of the State Department
where our great government is shown to
be utterly unable to help in the slightest
degree its citizens when In the depths Of
distress James William Scandrett writes
from Livingstone, Guatemala, praying the
secretary OF state for help. He says he Is
an American citizen, having lived in San
Francisco for eleven years, and has proofs
of good character. Going to Salvador to
erect machinery he has suffered the most
miserable hardships through sickness,
wounds and starvation. Appeals for help
to the American consul were without
avail, because the official had no authority
to expend money to ship the man to New
Orleans. He says the British consul would
have sent him home had he been an Eng
lishman, and he prays the secretary Tor
relief lest he die of hardship, as the consul
says there is unfortunately no fund at
the disposal of the State Department for
the relief of destitute Americans abroad
such as the British service affords.

In the month of June, when the world Is green
When the dew beads thick on the clover spray
And the moons are rife with the scent of hay,
And the brook hides under willow screen
When the rose is queen, in Loves demesne,
T hen. the time is too sweet and too light stay1
Whatever the and the dial say,
This is the shortest day!

Japan wants to Trade with Us.

WASHINGTON, June G3.-Mr. Massana
Mazda. ex-vice minister OF agriculture of
Japan, is in the city, a guest of the Jap
anese legation. He is accompanied by
Mr.. Furuya, the representative at New
York of the Japan Tea Traders Association
of Toxic. Mr.. Mazda represents about
twelve manufacturing and commercial as
sociations of Japan, and his mission here
is to advance, if possible, the trade rela-
tions between the two countries. Mr..
Mazda says the Japanese are extremely
anxious to give the United States large
share of their trade, and his purpose in
coming here is in part to investigate the
prices of railroad and telephone equip
ments The Japanese government is about
to exepnd large sums of money in railroad
and telephone extensions and 1t would be
very satisfactory to the Japanese people
purchased in the United States. For some
unknown reason, Mr.. Mazda said, the peo-
pie of this country have never seriously
undertaken to extend their trade with
Japan They do not seem to appreciate
the fact he said, that the Japanese pre-
fer to trade with America rather than with
any of the European nations and 1T was
his opinion that very large reciprocal
tween the two nations. AS a rule the inn
portant products of Japan did not in any
way conflict with American manufacturers,
and he saw no reason why the trade OF
both countries could not be greatly ex-
tended to their mutual advantage
In speaking of Hawaii Mr.. Mazda said
there was no sentiment in Japan in favor
of Japan anneXing the islands, either
among the government officials or among
the common people. Japan did not wish
Hawaii. but She did desire to have her
trade interests protected and her treaty
with the islands kept inviolate.

LIGHTING THE HOSPITAL.
Beard of Control Awards Contracts
for It's Own Plant.

The board Of control yesterday
awarded contracts for the electric light
plant which is to be placed in the city
hospital. The building is now lighted
by gas, and the expense is in the
neighborhood of 81. 800 per year. After
bids had been advertised for and opened
the st. Paul Gas company, through it's
manager, b. F. Ellison, submitted a
proposition to the board offering to
continue the lighting of the hospital
with gas at about half the amount
now paid for the service. The propo-
sition Of Manager Ellison was that the
building would be fitted up with Wells
bach gas burners and the company
would maintain the burners. The board,
however. decided that the putting in
of an electric plant would in a few
years pay for itself and at the same
time effect a saving Of about $500 per
year over the last proposition of the
gas company. When the board met
yesterday afternoon to award the con-
tracts the proposition of the gas COM
pany was discussed, but motion pre-
vailed to consider no propositions
which were not in the form of a bid
in answer to the advertisement.
The contract for furnishing the en-
CINE was awarded to James G. Robin
son, representing the Ideal Engine COM
pany, for 1895. John A. German was
awarded the contract for wiring the
building at $3.50. The contract for fur
nishing the dynamo was not awarded,
but will be taken up and disposed Of
this morning. There are five bidders
the bids ranging from $1,000 to 81, 400
Three of the bidders are within So Of
each other.
The contract for furnishing the hos
pital with seven house telephones was
awarded to the Northwestern Engi-
neering company, of ST. Paul, at $685.

READING FOR THE YOUNG,
Subject Discussed at the FrankIir
School Union.

The members of the Franklin School union
met last evening at Franklin school, Tenth
and Broadway in the final meeting for the
season. number Of Interesting papers were
read. The theme Of the evening was upon
the line of reading which should be pur-
sued by the young, especially during the
summer season.
Mrs. Katherin Deacon read a paper along
this line in which She said that in her
opinion a line of reading should be outlined
for the summer months.l The parents should
interest themselves in this and not leave to
the children the task of outlin,lg their sum-
mer amusement
Rev. ]. r. Stout, following the same line
divided the reading for children into three
classes, Institutional, inspiratonal and enter
tanning Under the first head he classed his
toricel and scientific works; under the second
head he put such worksYas the Bonnie Briar
Bush" which inspires the youth through it's
lofty characters, and third, historical novels
Rev. DIR. Lord paid al high compliment to
the teachers of st. Paul. DR.. Lord also

Iieved if it had been organized sooner, there

Nj. j. MOriarty Seeks to Compel the
Issuance of Permit.
Michael j. Moriarty is still after a
permit allowing him to do business as
a scaVenger. Yesterday he secured an
alternative writ of mandamus directing
Health Commissioner Stone to show
cause why he should not issue a per-
NIT to Mr.. Moriarty allowing him tc
clean out vaults and cess pools. Judge
Otis signed the order, which is re-
next.
Some time ago Moriarty was arrested
for doing business without a permit,
and was fined $40 for violating the
ordinance which requires licensed
scavengerS to first secure a permit
from the health department Moriarty
hired Walter L. Chaplin to test the
validity of the ordinance, which he
contended was invalid in that it prac-
tically constituted the health COM
missioner the sole authority to say who
should and who should not engage in
the ScaVenger business, even though
the party applying for the permit had
fulfilled all the other requirements.
Judge Lewis, to whom the question
was submitted, held that the ordinance
was valid, and Moriarty paid his fine.
In his petition for the writ of man
damus Mr.. Moriarty alleges that he
is provided with the proper equipment
necessary to engage in the scaVenger
business, and has cOnfOrmed to all the
requirements of the law, with the eX-
ception Of securing a permit, which,
so he declares, the health commissioner
refuses to issue to him.

IMPoRTANCEyoF SCHOOLS
Dwell Upon by9Speakers at Lincoln
School Uni9n

The Lincoln school branch of the st. Paul
School union met last evening in it's final
meeting for the schools year at Grace NJ E.
church, on Burr street. The attendance was
Indicative of the aroused interest in the pub
lie schools Of the city.
Rev. Mr.. Schuneman, rof Grace church read
a paper of general interest to the parents of
school childrtn, covering the necessities Of
the hour.
E. E. Woodman addressed the meeting and
inspired the minds of his hearers with the
Importance of the public schools of the coun-
try. He said there were 10000 pupils of the
public schools IN the CITY, and that it was
great and difficult piece of mechanism to
manage. He thought that if the city could
operate it's own system of waterworks prop
erly, and other departments properly, that
there was no reason why equal care should
not be given to the MANAGEMENT of the
schools. The schools are at the fountain
head of the nations liberties; it is the great
est and most cherished of all the institu-
lions of the country. Every effort should be
given by the parents to guard the system
from falling below a high standard
Mrs. c. M. Power, the originator of the
ST. Paul School union, told of the work
being done III the various school districts of
the city. She hoped that in a year there
would be 10000 members of the city school
union. 1t would create a tremendous weapon
of public opinion and would have great in
11uence over the board of education and city
council. President Corning of the city union.
also spoke along the same lines.

THEY JARED WELL,
Minnesota Men at the Kansas City
Credit Mems Meeting.

The recent national convention of
credit men from different state in the
country at Kansas City, was quite
generally discussed at the various
wholesale houses yesterday, and it
was everywhere conceded that the rep
resentatives from this state did them
selves, their interests and the state of
Minnesota full justice.
Said one member of the quartette Of
alternates, which went to the conven-
ton with the delegates from ST. Paul:
This city had for it's representatives
Messrs. E. A. Young, of Finch, Van
Slyck, Young & Co.; Arthur B. Dris-
coll, OF Mckibben & Co, and McLaren,
OF FarWell, Ozmun & Kirk. The al
ternates were c. M. Griggs, of Griggs,
Cooper; George L. Beardslee, of J. B.
TarboX & Co.; J. H. Skinner, of Lam
pher, Finch & Skinner, and Paul H.
Gotzian, of G. Gotzian & Co.
From Minneapolis the delegates
We're quite as representative, and the
harmony which existed between the
men from the two cities made it DOS
slble for this state to earn the right to
possibly more than passing considera-
ton. In the first place, Mr. Young got
ADOPTED the resolution which he had
taken with him and which reflected the
views OF the chamber of commerce on
the need Of some prompt action by
congress on the monetary situation.
During the convention which turn
ed out to be more important than we
believed, the Twin. City delegation met
and named MessrsM Young, of St.
Paui, aid Jordan, OF Minneapolis, as
members of the executive committee
ana vice president respectively, from
this state
we were thoroughly well entertain
ed by the Kansas City business peo-
pie, and at one of the evening sessions
at their Commercial club, Mr. Young
was called upon and very happily re-
sponded to the toast Minnesota. The
Minnesota men were prominent in the
proceedings, and their views were re-
ce1ved with the consideration to which
they We're fairly entitled !"

Yesterday from the Southwest, and
without the slightest formality as
sumed command of the department of
the Dakota, to which he was appointed
a week after his promotion. Gen.
Wade, who succeeds Gen. Brooke in
command of this department, came to
town in the morning and registered at
the Ryan hotel.D During the morning
ne visited army headquarters, relieved
Col. Sheridan, the adjutant general of
the nominal command of the depart
ment, and chatted informally with
Doth the colonel and Capt. Dudley,
depot quartermasters both of whom are
personal friends of the new command
ing officer.
Gen. Wade is a son Of ex-United
States Senator Benjamin S. Wade,
ana was born in Jefferson Ohio, IN
April, 1S43. He entered the regular
army at the breaking out Of the war,
serving as first lieutenant Of the Sixth
united States cavalry. He was later
made lieutenant colonel and colonel
OF this organization and remained such
until the Sixth was honorably muster
ed out in April, 1866. In May of the
same year, he was made a captain in
the Sixth cavalry, and he served as
major of the Ninth cavalry from July
Sc until 1879, when he was made lieu
tenant colonel of the Tenth. He was
given the command of the Fifth
cavalry, which he has just left, In 1887,
ana served as colonel. until now.
Even the Abridged record to be found
In the military histories, show that
Gen. Wade was a gallant soldier. He
was brevetted for gallant and meri-
torlous conduct in June, 1868, at Bever-
~ Ford, Va, December, 1864, at Marion
East Tennessee, and later in February,
1868, for bravery during the campaign
IN southwestern Virginia.
In March, 1866, he was again honored
slgnally for his intrepid conduct during
the entire service.
This is not his first visit to St Paul.
although he has never been stationed
mere. He has passed through here,
and numbers several st. Paul people
among his friends. His wife, who is
now in Chicago, will come to st. Paul
in the near future.
Gen. Wade has, during most of his
service, been a cavalry officer, but an
tc1pates little difficulty in accustoming
himself to the command of a depart
ment which includes only one full
cavalry regiment and portions of two
others.
Gen. Wade is member Of the Loyal
Legion
