ANOTHER letter from w. A. Mes
TREAT appears to-day. Walter does
not like many of the stories told of
the army management in the Philip
pines and SAYS that everything pos
sible has been done for the safety and
comfort of the soldiers there.

III will be rather strange to people
who have done business with the
railroad company here ever since it
has been in operation, to see new
man in Major McGrew's place. He
has been the agent here for more
than sixteen years and has done
vast amount of work. Frequently
he spent sixteen hours each twenty
four in his office. The force has not
been large enough to do the work
and all the men complain about it.

DIR. KILMER Il CO.'S PLANT
Destroyed by Fire-WiIl Rebuild at
Once.

The fire which destroyed the i'm
mense Swamp Root medicine plant of
DR.. Kilmer & Co., July l, was the
most disastrous which has ever occur
red in Binghamton. However, the
Kilmers resumed business next morn
ing, though not at the old stand,
which is heap of sm0uldered ashes.
While the firemen were yet pouring
water on the burning Chenango street
establishment, the Kilmers were ar
ranging to do business somewhere
else.
THAI this great industry might not
be crippled for moment, through the
courtesy of other prominent firms and
citizens, the large factory and adjoin
ing buildings On South street were va
Gated for the benefit of the Swamp
Root people, and possession was taken
Immediately, and here, by Monday,
July 8, this new, temporary factory
will be turning out Swamp Root, the
great Kidney Remedy, in quantities
of about so, 900 bottles per day and in
two or three weeks time the full ca
pacity of more than four times that
amount will be produced. The i'm
mense demand for Swamp Root will
thus in no way be interfered with.
On the old site. with adjoining
property which has just been purchas-
ed will be erected Immediately an alb
solutely fire-proof six-story structure,
plans for which have nearly been com
pleted.

THE TRAMP QUESTION
Becoming Serious one With the Bal
timore and Ohio,

For some time past the Baltimore
and Ohio trainmen have been wrest-
ling with the tramp problem says the
Cumberland Times, but seems further
off to-day, as far as solution is con-
cerned, than before, as the nuisance
is growing in such dimensions that
the trainmen are unable to cope with
it, and drastic means will have to be
used by the company for its abate-
ment.
Last night thirty-flye tramps board
ed second division freight near
Evitt's Greek. Some were white and
some were black, while all were fierce
and insolent. The conductor said he
would show them place along the
line where men were wanted, and
they said ''all right, show US the
place. y
When the new cut off near Patter-
sons Creek was reached the train
slowed up and the conductor went up
to the gang and said, stnow boys get
off, here's your place TO get work, and
where you see that light the boss
lives. Not one of the tramps moved
but several Of them laughed
The conductor perfectly disguised
with the rabble left them and the
train went on al its usual speed.
1t was impossible for the train
crew to put the tramps off, as they
were four to one and desperate set
at that
The entire B. & O. system is oyer
run with would-be work hunters. who
are only tramps and positively refuse
TO work They intimidate the yard
men as well as the train men. as they
travel in lunches and are well armed
for fight at any time. The plague
is becoming serious and something
must soon be done to check il.

on exploded. Oma Booths ankle was
shattered. Mrs Booth threw the re-
volyer out of the window. where a
second charge exploded, the bullet

STANDARD OIL PIERS BURN.
Blaze at Constable Hook Causes $500.
900 Loss.

Fire last night destroyed a large section
of the docks and sheds of the New Jersey
Storage Company connected with the
Standard Oil Company's Constable Hook
works, causing properly loss Of $500, 600.
There is some suspicion that the fire was
started by strikers who for the past week
have caused trouble at the Oil works and at
the Oxford copper works, which adjoin.
The fire started in one of the sheds on the
pier, and, owing to the oil-soaked condition
of the shed, the dock and everything else in
The oil tank ship Adelphia was lying along
side one of the piers y "a and before she could
be hauled out took fire Tugs tried to get
her off and beach her on Staten Island
Shore but the hawsers caught fire, and she
went adrift in the Kills.
Three oil barges which lay alongside the
docks took fire and were DESTROYED.
officials of the Standard Oil Company are
of the opinion that the fire started on one
of the pile drivers. They say it would have
been impossible for the strikers to set the
fire. as they could not pass through the
yards to the dock.

To Prevent Railway Accidents.

Commercial Agent R. T. Greener, at
Fladivostock, writes to the State Depart
ment concerning a device recently invented
in Russia for the prevention of railway ac-
ciGents. The essential feature of the in
vention is an iron tube of usual construc-
ton, connected with the general system of
brakes, and placed in front of the wheels.
At the least irregularity in the moven 1t
of the train. this tube. in consequence OF
certain cuts made in IT at intervals, breaks,
thus producing an immediate stoppage of
locomotive and train. Experiments have
been conducted by having the sleepers and
then the rails displaced, and in both cases
the stoppage was effected Immediately
without injury to the train, and without
outside assistance. The invention is re-
garded as Of the greatest Importance to
Russia, particularly, where railroad disas-
tiers are Of such common occurrence. Ac-
cordfng to official statistics, the number Of
fatal railway disasters in Russia N 1896
was 6,107.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, May Z, 1900. ~
The various published statements about
London having borrowed gold from Paris
for the settlement in London this week.
and for the payment of the British war
loan nstalment, and that the shipments
from here to Paris were to make good these
loans, etc, are generally laughed at here
as being contrary to the known conditions.
American capital in large amounts, 1t is
said, is being lent in Europe at present.
especially in Berlin. In one case a million
dollars was lent through well-known
Vienna conservative foreign banking house
on first-cass German municipal bonds at
6 per cent, with an allowance to provide
for adverse conditions of the exchange
market.
In some cases these loans have been made
in dollars, that is, the money has been bor-
rowed here on German securities, deposited
here in the ordinary way, else on Sc
curities placed in escrow in Berlin. The
money thus borrowed has been remitted
from here in the usual way by means of eX-
change, which accounts in part for the I'M
usual strength of the sterling exchange
market. Loans made here in that way
have to be repaid here of course, in the
same way as any other loan is paid in this
country.
1t is in the other case, that is, where the
loans are repaid in Germany, that provision
has been made for an advance condition of
the exchange market besides the 6 per cent
interest in the loan. From all of which,
broker said it appears that this country
holds at present very commanding posi-
ton in the exchange markets of the world
by reason of her commerce.
