NOTHING FOR THE PRESS.
Until After the Work of the Commits
sion is Finished.

Quebec, Aug. 24.-No meeting of the
joint arbitration commissions was held
today. Both the American and Canadian
commissioners are at work ON plans for
procedure and will compare notes and
decide upon plan ut the joint meeting
tomorrow. One point however, has been
determined Nothing in detail of the
commissions work will be given to the
press until after it's work is finished.
This has been agreed upon by both
sides. The reason for this is to prevent
as far as possible the demands for hear
ings before the commission. Sir Wilfrid
Laurier and Senator Fairbanks have
both stated that it would be impossible
for the commission to grant general
hearings.
Sir James Winter. the Representative
from New Foundland, arrived at noon
and will be present at the joint session
tomorrow. Tonight Sir Wilfrid Lauricr
gave dinner to the commissioners at
the Garrison Club, and in all the speeches
was expressed the sentiment that the
work of the commission would be carried

the results would be of lasting benefit to
the two great nations.

KILLED BY THE MOREONs.
The Desperate Outlaw Band of the
Southern Border Wiped Dat.

Fl paso, Tex, March 22.-News has
reached here from Casas Giandc, Mexico,
of the terrible fate which had befallen
the members of Black Jacks gang, who
escaped from this country several months
AGO, soon after the leader was reported
slain, and sought refuge from pursuit by
American officers in the businesses of the
Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico.
The Black Jack gang OF despeGadces and
cut-throats for several years terrorized
the entire border between here and the
Gull of California, and it remained for
the avenging angels of the Mormon colo
Mexico, to hunt down and annihllate the
gang.

SAVING CONDUCTORS TROUBLE,
Automatic Street Name Announcer
For Surface and IL" Cars,

Harlemites, Brookiynttes and even Jer
seyltes will, no doubt, welcome the intro
duction on passenger cars of an ingenious
mechanism that automatically records the
name OF each street station as fast as i;
is approached. says the New York jour
nal. This is the idea OF Richard lie
Brocq, young engineer.
The indicator consists of box one
placed in each end Of rhe car. Each box
con taIns a series of rollers over which
the sheet of paper runs on which the
names of the streets are inscribed. AfTix.
ed to these rollers is a system OF clock
work operated by AN electric connection
with the cable. Therefore, as fast as the
car approaches a street the roller reels
off the name in full view of the pasSen-
gers. The clockworlS system IS SO regu-
lated that the names Of the streets APP
pear with regularity and in their proper
order.
The value Of this system of automatic
street announcement will appeal power
fully to New Workers, for it will be q
most satisfactory substitute for the con-
ductor's voice, If Mr. Sage will only in
troduce the system on the IL" we shall
all be thankful. II there's anything in
