NIAGARA FALLS, y. Y. Oct. 2l.--Members of
the American Street Railway Association to-day
briefly discussed the compensation paid by the
Government for carrying mail on trolley cars.
and IL was made clear that there is a lack OF
uniformity, which the asso aiation will endeavor
70 adjust. The most interesting paper of the
day was by IN. Heft OF Mcriden, Conn. whO
dwelt at length on the application of electricity
70 roads, now operated by steam. through the
third rail system.
William J. Held OF Minneapolis said that the
secret OF success in handling damage cases lies
In their being. carefully looked after from tho

injured parties are willing to DC fair. but 10 fight

sMA11 PARKS AND P1AEGRoUyDs.
Proposal to Spend Four millions on Them In
the Next Four Hears-

the NcXt Four Iears.
The Mayors Advisory Committee on Small
Parks, OF which Abram S. Hewitt is the Chair
man, met for the first time in several months in
the Mayors office yesterday. Secretary Jacob
Riis made q report in when he recommended
the creation OF four additional small parks and
eleven public Fairgrounds in the thickly popu-
lated districts OF the city at an estimated cost
OF $4,000. 600. The act establishing small
parks allows the city to spend 81. DOC, 900 a year
for that purpose. and Secretary Riis recon-
mended that the work he proposed be done dur
ing tho administrator OF tho first Mayor Of
Greater New York.
Accompanying the report was a map showing
that ffty-nine new schoolhouses have been
planned or arc in the course OF erection within
the present city limits, and Mr.. Riis recon-
mended that each shall have a playground
either on the street level or on the roof, and that
the Fairgrounds shall be open to children at ali
seasons OF tho year, and especially in vacation
time.
The committee will hold what will probably be
its last meeting on Monday, and it is likely that
Secretary Riis's report and recommendations
will be adopted.

Mr.. w. j. Calhoun, the special commits
sioner sent to Cuba to investigate the cir
cumstances in connection with the death
OF DR. Ruiz in.-prison at Guauabacoa,
Cuba, has returned to New York not
much wiser than he was when he started
In response to the questions of n reporter
he gave the following account of the case
as far as he could learn: 1--WE learned that
DIR. Ruiz was arrested on February 4,
charged with having some connection in
an assault which took place in railroad
train between Guanabacoa and Havana.
He was placed in solitary confinement, CT,
as it is known there, he was .incommuni-
cado. Thirteen days later he was taken
out of his cell on account Of his mental
and physical condition. 1t was then
found that he was suffering from severe
wound OF the head, and he died two
hours after he had been released from the
cell in which the secret--of his injury is
buried. The question of the deceased
Doctors American citizenship was never
denied. The autopsy showed that he died
from congestion of the brain. His re-
mains were Inferred at G uanabacoa. We
had no positive or direct proof of any as
sault whatever, and the conclusion arrived
at must be based on the detailed evidence
in the report OF Consul General Lee,
which is now on its way to Washington.
I, myself, will make no report, and I
prefer not to say anything as to my idea
of the affair until the report is made pub
lie by the proper authorities at Washing

GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE.

Washington advices state that Presi-
dent Mckinley has decided that the Gov
eminent printing Office is not subject 20
the civil service law, and will issue an
order shortly after the adjournment of
Congress to that effect. After hearing
argument on both sides Of the question he
has come to the conclusion that the appli-
cation of the civil service law to the print
ing office has been revoked by the provis-
ion in the act providing for public print
ing last year, which makes it incumbent
upon the public printer TO pass upon the
fitness OF employees in his Office A large
number of prominent Republicans have
urged the President to take the Office out
OF the classified service, while the civil
service commissioners have claimed that
the provision of the act requiring the
public printer to determine the fitness of
employees in his Office in no way conflicts
with the civil service law. The President
is said to have been convinced that the
law does not include this Office in the
classified service, and that it is proper
for him to announce the fact in an execu.
tive order After the adjournment of
Congress the announceemnt will be made,
and dismissals will follow with a view
OF permanently getting rid of men not
pleasing to the administration, so that
when Congress reassembles in December
the public printer will be enabled to
make several hundred appointments of
men and women upon the recon- .nenda-
ton of Congressman. Had President
Cleveland been less stickler for civil SER
vice reform, and regulated his appoint
ments to office by the fitness of the ap.
plicant and his record as party worker.
Democracy might not now be in the
slough of despair.

stages and across dreary, uninhabited
wastes. DIR. Sheldon was born in MAY,
1884, and was graduated at Union col

licensed to preach. III 1858 he married
Miss Mary Voorhees, and soon after the
young couple became home missionaries.
DR.. Jackson is also member of the ma

COL. TYLER ALL RIGHT.

The letter of Hon. j. Hoge Tyler to The
Times, published elsewhere in this paper,
is straightforward document and speaks
for itself. That Col. Tyler was ap-
preached in regard to appointments to
Office from this city in case he should be
elected governor is frankly admitted; but,
when the parties interviewing him found
out his position they very w isely allowed
the matter to drop. He told them he
would consider the views of the commit
tee here in such matters, as he would con-
slider the views of all Democrats from any
portion of the State, which, while an emf
nently proper answer in itself, must have
had decided dampening effect on the
interviewers. 1t is plain from the answer
that the Democratic executive committee
of Roanoke will not have monopoly in
naming the appointees to State offices ii
Col. Tyler is elected governor.

SILVER REPUBLICANS.
A New Political Party Given Birth
at Chicago.

;: Chicago, June 8.-A new organization,
ready christened "The Silver Republican
Party of the United States" has beer
formed in this city. Its promoters ARE
Henry NJ Teller. Fred J.. Dubois, John
P. Jones, f. j. Cannon, Richard f. Pet
tigrcw, Senator Mantle, John F. Shaforth
and Charles Hemmen. These men bolted
the. st. Louis convention and supported
w. j. Bryan.
AT Il caucus held here to. day the cam
paign for Congressional elections next
year was started. The initiatory step of
the meeting to day WAS taken on February
%, when the statesmen named issued an
address calling on silver Republicans in
ever State and territory to select national
committeeman and have them attend a
conference in Chicago on June 9Th to
start the fight.
The meeting Of the national provisional
committee was called to order to-day at
were represented.
The national provisional committee
decided on n plan for permanent ma
tional organization, calling u national
convention for that purpose 1t is given
out as the intention to organize thor
oughly, giving precedents up with the
view of electing Congressman where pos
sible in 1S9S, and also of taking an active
part in the. next Presidential campaign.
Congressman Hartman said to-day:
I'VE want it distinctly understood that
the organization of the silver Republican
party will not be antagonistic of the or.
CARNATIONS that endorse the free coinage
of silver, but that we will make war with
them on the common foe, the Republican
party standing for the gold Standard"
The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-06-09

Mr.. Lewis Klopsch, publisher of the
Christian Herald, OF New York, which
had undertaken to procure cargoes of
grain to be sent to the famine su ferers in
India, has notified the Navy Department.
that the grain on hand will be sold an d
the money forwarded to India instead, as
the best and speediest means of relief.
Accordingly the department has aban-
doned its efforts to secure steamship at
New York to transport the grain to Bonn
bay Mr.. Klopsch writes that the delay
in securing the ship was one of the rea-
sons for the change in plan. Then, too,
the Indian roads at this time, the wet
season, are very difficult of passage, while
the natives having been made to believe
by unscrupulous native grain dealers that
the Americans have poisoned the wheat
that WAS to:be sent to them, refuse to eat
any of it under any circumstances.
