Flagstaff on the pilot. and his brains
were knocked out. The body swung
back against the guard rail Of the tres
tie and fell back on the track. The
wheels did not pass over the body. The
man made no effort to get of the track.
although by stepping a foot or two to
one sid he woul have been safe. The
train was running about eight or ten
miles and hour when the witness saw
the man. The witness continued:
when a man is running an engine
and sees another on the track. either
walking toward or from him. II he does
not get OF the track himself the engi-
neer blows the whistle to attract his
attention. IL he does not get of then IL
Is too late to stop a train. We fire.
quently meet men on the track and
some get of at a reasonable distance
and other walk right up almost to the
engine before stepping OF and give no
intimation before hat they see the
train"
J. r. Thompson, the fireman. said the
bell was ringing All the way from the
Butte station to the crossing. The con-
ductor OF the train was sitting in the
witness seat and he therefore did not
see the man on the track and did not
know a man had been hit until he saw
the engineer stop the train very sud-
denly. The witness said there were 9TH
er people IN the trestle besides Lytle.
but they stepped out OF the guard rail
and were passed in safety.
Allen II. Elliott. the conductor OF the
train. was riding on the engine and was
sitting i'm the fireman's seat. He saw
the man on the track about 100 feet
ahead about the same time that he
was seen by the engineer. He detailed
the circumstances in about the same
language as Engineer McGonigie and
said Section Boss Gunderson was on
the bridge when the train passed.
There was plenty of room for a man to
get out of the way.
Hans Gunderson. section boss on the
Northern Pacific. was on the trestle
and saw the accident. His account
agreed with that of the first witness. He
thought the old man had become ratified
and confused and did not have the
presence of mind to know what to do.

train. was called. but he did not see the
accident and could not tell nov IL hap
pened.
Engineer McGonisle was recalled and
asked how much time elapsed between
the time he saw the man and the time
the engine struck him. He replied I'VE
were unning eight or ten miles an hour.
and we ran about 100 feet between the
time 1 saw the man and the time he
was hit. You can figure out the time
yourself"
This finished the taking of testimony
and the jury returned its verdict.

slonefs While In Paris.
 Washington, Aug. 22.-In view of the early meeting at Paris of the Spanish- American peace commissioners, ar arrangements are already under way for the entertainment of this distinguished body. It is understood that the com missioners will be the guests of the French government and while no for nal invitation has yet been extended there is reason to believe one will come in due time and that the commissions CTS will receive every courtesy and att tention which the French government can bestow. The meeting of tn co1n- mission will be held at the French for eign office, in the historic Salon des Ambassadeurs. It was there that the famous congress of Paxds met in 1856. The salon is probably the most ele- gant official apartment in all Europe. being hung with Gobelinstapestries, and decorated with lavish ffsscoas and works of art. Near the salon are pri- vate chambers, suitable for conlsnittee rooms and for the meatings,o4 the corn- missioners of their respective aouern- ments.
 The several commissioners will choose their own private quarters. although Secretary Day may De thesguest ofsEhe United States embassy. The*president hopes to be able to announoexhesnarnes of the commissioners onsthe spartsof the United States this week.

DISPATCHES FROM SHAFTER.
Advises the Removal North of Iauser
 Rifles to Prevent Rust.


 Washington, Aug. 22.-Adjutant Gen eral Corbin tonight received from Gen eral Shafter the following dispatch:
 Santiago, Aug. 22 1898. Adjutant General, Washington: I recommend that all the Mauser rifles and the ammunition for the same be shipped to some arsenal in the north with as little delay as possible to pre- vent rust. There are several millions of ammunition and probably 10000 or 12000 stands of these arms Of course a large number of those turned in were Remington and other in- ferior weapons. The surrender at Bar racao shows total of 23,726 surren- dered, little less than 5000 of them being guerllas and volunteers, leaving about my original estimate of 21, ,000 to be shipped. So far no sickness among incoming regiments.
 (Signed) Shafter,
 Major General In another dispatch General Shafter reports that he now has sufficient troops at Santiago to bring the remain der of the American troops to the Unit ed States. The Spanish prisoners are being embarked to return to Spain and Shafter expresses the belief that all will be en route to their home country by the latter part of the week. The dis patch follows:
 Santiago, Aug. 22, 1893. H. c. Corbin, Adjutant General Wash ington:
 The Berlin has just arrived with the Ninth United States volunteer infantry on board. There are now plenty of transports here and in sight to take all the balance of the troops and a large number of convalescents.

 Major General.

 The funeral of James G. Walters of troop D, 9th cavalry who died Sunday, was held yesterday afternoon with mil
 itary honors. Walters was in bad condition when he was received here, and was delirious. In the ambulance
 on the way from the steamer to

 threw himself about, crying: "Oh how
 thick the smoke is. Just smell that pOWueT! Ouly wv lGtl HtOIe, DOyS.
 He was in the charge up San Juan hill at Santiago, and visions of that fight were evidently going through his mind in his delirium.
 One of the men received in the lot yesterday had with him his rifle and | canteen. When he was placed in the ambulance this gun and canteen were | left in the boat. He begged that they | be brought to him, saying he had car | ried them so long he didn't want to lose | them now. They were secured for him and placed beside him in the ambu- | lance.
 | Some of those received in the first lot | half starved and emaciated, already be- I gin to pick up wonderfully under the | good care they receive at the hospita l with nourishing food and enough of it | to eat. Some of those received yester- ! day said that they had not had g change of clothes since July 9.

MAYORS GARNET MEETS.
Discussed at Last Nights ses-

The mayors cabinet met last night in the mayors office in city hall and read over the section of the city charter re- lating to the department of education and the civil service board. It has been the custom for the civil service board after holding examinations to submit ot the department lists of the names of those who passed the examinations. The department officials could then in case they needed men appoint from this list anyone they saw fit, whether he had just passed the eXaminatio or had received a high stand. A man who re- ceived 70 per cent, stand required to pass, stood just as much chance of re- ceiving an appointment as one who re- ceived 100 per cent. Professor Farnam last night called attention to this mat ter and said that in this way it was brought about that the examinations were not competitive examinations, as under civil service principles it was in- tended they should be. He proposed that the civil service board instead of sending complete list of the names of those who pass, to the various depart 1nents, retain the list. Then when the department needs employees let them send notice to that effect to the civil to the department some names, three, for instance. of those who had received the highest marks in the civil service
 
 that thus far only two appointments have been made under the civil service rules Of these two one who received the highest mark on examination was appointed, while in the other instance the one who stood No. on the list of those who passed received the appoint ment.
 Section 123 of the charter was also discussed last night. This section makes the controller responsible for all moneys unlawfully paid to persons ap- pointed in violation of the civil service rules. The opinion was expressed that it was very difficult for the controller to keep track of appointments and see if they were made according to civil service rules. Section 124, which pro- vides penalty for violation of Section
  123, was also discussed, as the question wae raised as to whose business it was to make complaint. Professor Farnam said that he thought the present plan of advertising was rather clumsy. Sec tion 127 of the charter provides that public notice of competitive examina- tions shall be advertised three times, the last insertion to be not less than fifteen days prior to the examination Professor Farnam said that in case a department calls upon the civil service board for an eligible list, desiring to make an appointment, and 1t should happen that no eligible list for that po- sition was on hand, then the board could not hold an examination for nearly three weeks, making an unnec- essary delay. He thought that one weeks notice of an examination would be ample

STAIN NAmEs COMMISSIONERS,
Secretary Thiebnut Presented the Names
 to the State Department.

Washington, Aug. 22.-The state de- partment received a call to-day from M. Thiebaut, secretary of the French embassy, and in charge during the ab sence of Ambassador Cambon, who bore a notification from the Spanish government of the military commits sioners for Cuba and Porto Rico. Un- der the peace protocol each government was to name it's military commission CTS within ten days, their meetings to begin within thirty days. The ten days was up to-day, and accordingly Spain gave the official notice of the appoint ments. They are as follows:
 For Cuba: Major General Gonzales Parade, Rear Admiral Pastor Y. Lam dero, Marquis Montero.
 For Porto Rico: Major General Or tega Y Diaz, Commodore of First Rank Vallarino Y Carrasco, Judge Advocate Sanchez del Agula Y. Leon.
 The foregoing official list differs from some of the lists given in press dis patches, which have included Admiral Montijo, General Blanco, General Macas and several other prominent Spanish officers. Considerable significance at taches to the naming of Marquis Mon tero, as it indicates a purpose on the part of Spain to go into the future gov ernment of Cuba. He Is the only com missioner, Spanish or American, taken from civil life. He is secretary of the treasury of the Cuban autonomist cab inet and all his interests are connected with the government of Cuba, rather than with the military question of the Spanish, evacuation of Cuba. He is named, 1t is believed, in order to carry out Spain's desire to have an under standing as to the future government of the island, he being intimately fla miliar with the questions of civil ad- ministraton of Cuba. As secretary of the Cuban treasury he is also very fla miliar with questions affecting the Cu- ban debt.

HAWAIIAN FLAG DESCENDS
AND THE STA R.S AND STRIPES
 FL04TED INSTEAD.

The Ceremony Took Place at Honolulu
 and Was Most Impressive-As the
 Band Played "Thc Star Spangled
 Banner" the Crowd Broke Forth
 With Cheers.
 Honolulu, Aug. 12, val San Francisco, Aug. 22.-Precisey at aight minutes to twelve o'clock day the Hawaiian flag descended from the fiagstaffs on all the government buildings and exactly at five minutes to the same hour the Stars and Stripes foated in the tropical breezes from every official flagstaff.
 The ceremony to-day was a most impressive one. Toshear the strains of Hawaii Ponop' for the last time as a national anthem; to hear the bugIs blow taps as the Hawaiian ensign sank from its position and to notice the elno- ton of many who had been born under it and had lived their lives underrit, was solemn. But then came the bugle call for the raising of Old Glory and the strains of 'The Star SpangIed Banner broke forth as that baner was unfurled to the breeze. When the cheers broke forth, eyes that had been dim for few minutes became bright when the Stars and Strips blew out. The picture pre- sented in and around the executive building was most striking. In the grounds and around all the approaches were crowds of on-lookers, of varied nationality. Notably remarkable was the number of Hawaiians. Within the grounds the military and naval dispfav was fine. Hawaiian troops, United States marines, the mounted patrol, the police and the citizens guard presented a splendid appearance
