No elevator Is simple. The passenger
does not see and could not understand
the complicated mechanism necessary
to Its working. Yet these delicate ma
chimes are often placed in charge Of ig-
norant boys or men whose qualifica-
tons are limited to superficial under
standing Of the working power and
safety devices.
The engineer of locomotive must
pass a severe examination and serve
an apprenticeship before he is intrust-
ed with the lives of passengers, and
even gripmen and motormen operate
their cars for long time under the eye
Of an experienced man. A 16-year-Old
engineer or motorman would never be
employed. 1t is suggested that cars
should be placed in charge only Of men
who are old enough to be clear-headed,
who have passed a suitable eXamina-
ton as to knowledge and general fit
ness.
A scheme which is in use in a few
buildings and has given good satisfac-
ton is an air cushion In the bottom Of
the shaft. The lower part of the shaft
for a distance of several feet is made
air tight. When a falling car drops
into this tube" the air below 1t acts as
q cushion. and the stop is made gradual
by the escape of the air around the
sides Of the car. For experiment car
has been dropped repeatedly 125 feet
into one of these cushions, and stop
page was not of sufficient abruptness
to break eggs on the car floor.

Aguinaldo and His Insurgents Yet to be
subdued by Our Volunteers.
Washington, Nov. 30.-The apprehen-
sion which manifested itself some time
ago over the attitude of Aguinaldo
and the Philippine ingurgents, has
not entirely disappeared, though the
administration believes they will ac-
cept the situation without conflict
with the United States. The matter
was discussed at the cabinet meeting
yesterday, and some of the views ex-
pressed indicate possibility that the
insurgents may yet have to be dealt
with, Meanwhile however, the presi-
dent expects serious trouble with
Aguinaldo will be avoided, but at the
same time has guarded against an out
break by taking precautionary meas
ures. The American force already in
occupancy of part of the Philippines
is regarded as altogether adequate to
cope with any emergency that may
arise The future government of the
islands came up incidentally, and Sec
retary Alger made some suggestions as
to details of military government OF
the islands

WANT MORE ISLANDS.
rhe Caroline and Peiew Groups Needed by
Uncle Sam.

Washington, Nov 27-There is rea-
Gon TO believe that the administration
would be willing to purchase from
Spain, not only the Philippines and
Ualan island, but all of the Carolines
and the Pelew group.
Behind the proposition to buy ualan
lies the hope in some quarters that
Spain will make counter proposition
for the cession of the entire group and
the Pelew islands for an increased
compensation.
The occupation of Guam by this gov
ernment was based upon belief that II
has magnificent harbor, and would be
an excellent stopping place between
Honolulu and Manila. The American
commissioners have now learned that
the harbor is exposed to mon soons; that
it is shallow, and that the island Is
subject to earthquakes.
In the Carolines most of the islands
have excellent harbors, which are well
sheltered. They are heavily wooded
and supplied with fresh water, and
earthquakes are unknown. In addi-
tion they would, X required by the
United States, be the outposts for the
Philippines. They extend in belt
along the ninth degree of latitude, and
are only 300 miles to the southwark OF
| Guam and $50 miles from the Philip
pines The Pelews are about 600 miles
from Mindanao.
The belief prevails here that the Ger
mans will bring pressure to bear upor
Spain to prevent her from selling th'
Carolines to the United States. Such
action would undoubtedly be looked
upon as cause for breach of friend
ship.

SPAIN WILL YIELD.
WILL ACCEPT INDEMNITY AND
CEDE THE PHILIPPINES.
May Enter Protest Against the AmsrL
can Interpretation OF the Protocol
as Affecting the Philippines
and Against the Proceed
ings Generally.

Madrid, Nov. 2s.-The cabinet has
concluded that the wisest policy is to
accept the American terms, leaving to
the Spanish commissioners full power
to secure the best possible indemnity
and to place on record, if the Ameri-
can commissioners will permit, pro-
test against the American interpreta-
tion of the protocol as affecting the
Philippines and against the proceed
ings generally.
The decision of the cabinet is ap-
proved in political and financial cir.
cles The deliberations of the minis
ters were very protracted. Senior Sa-
gasta, Duke Almodovar del Rio and
Senor Puigcerver had great difficulty
in inducing some of their colleagues
to accept the small indemnity. Un-
doubtedly the situation is hard and
critical, but ministers say that Senior
Sagasta is determined to confront all
opposition until the cortes is convoked,
probably at the end OF December,
when he will demand vote of conf
dence, virtually implying approval OF
the treaty and the conservation of his
party.
Washington, Nov 2s.-President Nc
Kinley is in receipt of dispatch from
Judge Day in which he states posi-
lively that the Spanish commissioners
will formally accept the terms of the
United States at the next meeting.

WASHINGTON ADVISED.
Expected That Treaty VIII BE Signed This
Week.

Washington, Nov, 30-The govern
mont has been officially advised of the
successful termination of the Paris
peace negotiations with Spain, a cable
gram to this effect having been re-
ceived from Chairman Day by the Sec
retary of state. BY the terms of the
treaty, which will be signed during the
present week, Spain surrenders to the
United States her sovereignty in the
Philippine islands and Guam island,
one of the Ladrome group In lieu of
all claims to indemnity, the United
States will pay Spain the sum of $20,-
900, 900 in gold, or its equivalent.
Before returning to the United States.
our Paris commissioners will secure
from the Spanish representatives, if
possible, a proposition for the sale to
the United States of Strong island, one
of the Caroline group, some distance
east and south of Luzon, for a cable
station, Should Spain, however, de-
cline to sell the island for a reasonable
sum, the matter will be dropped, for
the present, at least. The possible
cession of this island is not involved in
the pending treaty, and no pressure
will be brought to bear to induce Spain
to part with it.

when Peace Negotiations Are Completed
$4,000 Men VIII BE Mustered out,

Washington, Nov 3O.-One of the
first results of the determination of
the peace negotiations at Paris will be
orders for mastering out as many as
10000 men of the volunteer army.
The orders thus far cover about s5 200
men, but not more than 35, 900 have
actually been mustered out. The
present army consists about 1870, ,ooC
men, exclusive of all ordered mustered
out, $1,000 Of whom are regulars The
forces contemplated for the island are,
For the Philippines, 10000; for
Puerto Rico, about 900; for Cuba, not
more than 10000.
This, on the basis of -, 600 men for
the regular establishment-wh which is
the number now reckoned on by com.
petent military forecasters here-will
leave 10000 men for frontier and sta
tion work in this country Secretary
Alger recommends 100, 900 men.
There are now 80, 900 volunteers who
are entirely useless, in view of the
technical cessation of hostilities.
Orders for the mastering out of these
will be issued without delay, which
will leave 100, 900 in the army.

LOADED FOR BANDITS.
Tr ain Robbers Run Up Against a "Losded"
Train.

Sedalia, Mo-, Nov. 3o,-An attempt
was made by three men to hold up a
Missouri Pacific train which resulted
disastrously for the would-be robbers.
1t seems the officials got wind of the
plan to hold up the train and had de-
tectives on the train when the robbers
attempted to hold it up. The engineer
was signalled to stop and the robbers
opened fire, which was answered by
the officers on board. During the
fight one of the robbers was wounded,
and one, Jim West, freight engineer
in the employ of the company, was
captured A posse is after the other
two men and their capture is only a
question of time.
