James O'Conneu, President of the In

turned 10 Washington Yesterday. after an
absence Of three weeks, during which
time he attended the convention Of the
association at Toronto He also visited
several Eastern cities, effecting agree
ments in the strike declared by the ma-
chinists some time ago. Mr. O'ConneII Is
highly elated over the success of the or
ganization and confidently predicts
sweeping victory for the machinists He
denied emphatically that there was any
truth in the story that the latter were
thinking Of giving up the fight and claims
that the association is winning victories
daily and will keep UP the war until every
point has been gained.
The firm stand taken at the convention
is said to have had almost immediate eff

and the Corliss Engine Works, OF Provi-

yesterday on the subject of the pneumatic
tube service, which will be discontinued
by the Government on June 30, the end of
the current fiscal year. Mr. Mead said
it was the desire of the Merchants As
sociation to secure the cooperation of the
department to bring before Congress
sufficient data concerning the advantages
of the pneumatic tube service to ensure
an appropriation at the next session for
its reaesption and extension by the de-
partment. The merchants of New York,
he said, would make such arrangements
as were possible TO counteract the infe-
riority of the wagon service to the tube
service in that city and would bend all
their endeavors to secure a re-esta6lish-
ment of the pneumatic tube service at the
earliest possible date
Following his talk with Mr.. Shalien-
berger Mr. Mead had an interview with
Postmaster General Smith and later called
on the President to urge the latters in
fiuence in the matter.

A. NJ. Daniel. of 1890 Fourteenth Street
northwest, recently requested the Com
missioners to make their recent order re-
quiring cellar doors to be closed on the
sidewalks be made an exception in his
case. Mr.. Daniel states that during one
of the recent rains his cellar was flooded,
and he desired that the door might be
left open temporarily for the purpose of
drying out the cellar. He thought that
this might be allowed, especially as the
door is close up to the building and some
fourteen feet from the curb.
Capt Lansing II. Beach. the Engineer
Commissioner, IN forwarding the request
to his associates recommends that the
applicant be informed that exceptions
cannot be made to the regulation in ques-
tion. If one party Is permitted to keep
cellar doors open the same privilege can
not be denied to others. and Captain
Beach thinks the result would be that
doors would be open all along the streets.
He states further that il was recently OBJ
served on + Street within space of three
blocks that thirteen cellar doors were
standing open the larger part OF the day.
If ventilation Is necessary for the vaults
in question, Captain Beach states that a
special permit can be issued for grated
doors during the hot season.
The recommendation of the Engineer
Commissioner has been approved.

Under the laws Of England a lump

not required to render an account. If
there was anything left at the end of

the balance usually amounted to sever
al hundred thousand dollarS-she put
it in her pocket This arrangement
dates back nearly two centuries.
Theoretically the sovereign Of Great
