New Work. Womnn's solution of the
NuGc Problem


NEW YORK. Aug. 2S-Charlntte Smith.
president OF the Womcns Rescue league.
called on the Central Labor union to cx-
plain her new scheme for compelling mar
riageable bachelors to marry she was 100
late to get the floor, but she buttonholcd
several Of the delegates. She said she had
statistics to show that there was an inti-
mate connection between her scheme and
the labor question. The great competition OF
women in the field of Iapor she held was
because GO per cent of the men refused to
marry.
She said she was going to Rcs;on 10 start
campaign against the republican aud demo
cratic candidates for mayor there because
both OF them arc bachelors. She did not
believe that a bachelor ought to hold an
elective office, because no man could posi-
bly, act on questions OF public morality un-
less he was married. She was preparing a
pamphlet upon her scheme, aud intended to
show that II bachelors were compelled to
marry and the army of unmarried women
were to become housewives and mothers,
wages would go up. Even Il all the
bachelors in Greater New York were to
marry there would still be 100 600 women
without husbands.
1t Is reported from Boston that MIR Curtis,
the republican candidate for mayor of that
city, has already announced his engagement
to a young woman.

| GOOD THING FOR AMERICANS.
Valuable Concession is Granted by
the Hondurns GONcrnnlcnt.


WASHINGTON Aug. 23.-Consul Jarnigan
of Utilla, Honduras has sent to the State
department report upon important con-
cession by the Honduras government granted
TO the Honduras syndicate. This corporation
is composed, says the consul of well known
capitalists and fnanciers of the United
States, mostly located in New York. The
syndicate has deposited with the government
of Honduras 100000 in gold as a guaranty
that it will carry out its part of the conces-
sion., The Honduras government concec<S
to the syndicate the railroad and all its ap-
purtenances now being operated thirty miles
more out from Puerto Cortez, the right
of-way to Forseca bay and subsidy of
5000 acres of land for each mile of road
built and operated by the syndicate, either
as main or branch lines, the lands to be
located contiguous to the road and in alter
nate sections or at any point desired by
the syndicate. The syndicate has the power
to build a narrow gauge transcontinental
road and operate it for ninety-nine years and
is not restricted to route. This conceS-
sion means absolute control of the trade by
the United States.

not agree and there is little reason to be-
lieve that this commission will present a
different view. The conclusions Of the COM
