COPTIC MADE
A FAST TRIP

With another fast mark to her Gre
dit the s. 5. Coptic arrived off port this
morning at O'Clock from the orient
There was a mistake made somehow in
the notification, for the report was sent
out that the vessel was the $ S. Doric
which is also expected today from San
Francisco.
The CoptLc had delightful weather on
her way over. She left Yokohama
December 10 on time. She made the
trip to Honolulu in 8 days hours and
% minutes. Nothing was sighted dur
ing the voyage.
The vessel has a most valuable cargo
Her cargo is worth aver 100000. Much
of this is treasure sent by Japanese
bankers to America. The rate of eX-
change is low in Japan now and the
result is that the gold is being sent to
America. There are 1,265,OOO yen in
the treasure tanks of the Coptic. This
amounts to $G2j,OO0 in L. s. gold coin.
The Siberia had a million dollars in
gold from Japan when she passed
through here earlier i'm the month.
There are 1,5OO bales of silk worth
about $3.50 a bale. The value of this
part of the cargo is therefore, about
$l,125O0O. In addition, there are about
500 cases of silk goods. For Honolulu
there are 1,1S0 tons. Much of the To-
cal cargo consists of gunny sacks, there
being 500 bales in the consignment
There are no stop over passengers
for Honolulu. There are only II cabin
passengers on the vessel. This is the
smallest number that the coptic has
ever carried in her career on the Asia
tic run.
Among the passengers is w. w Cur
tbs who was formerly japanese inter-
prefer at this port
Three Japanese stowaways were
found aboard the vessel. They will
be transferred to the S. s. Doric ans
be returned to Yokohama.

A Young man who making his way GOWN

That's the man. again called out the woman
and MANY of the congregation ran out Of the

The fugitive made his way at top speed along
and then ran north with ever increasing cro"o
at his heals yelling Stop thief! Between INIT
ty-first and Thirty second SITS several men man
aged 10 get hold of the fleeing man, but he shook
them off and one or two of them he knocked
down little further on. however, Herman

GOULDS' NARROW ESCAPE
Car Skaters Glass an Carriage OF
Mr. and Mrs. George ].

Mr.. and Mrs George ]. Gould had q narrow
escape from serious if not fatal injuries last
night in front Of the Manhattan Theatre, when
a southbound sixth-ave. struck and nearly
overturned their carriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Gould left their home, No. S57
Fifth-ave before o'clock. They drove down
Ffftb-ave. and turned west at Thirty -second-st.
At Sixth-ave. and Thirty-second-st. the coach
man, Charles Calais, tried to drive diagonally
across Sixth-ave. to draw up before the en-
trance Of the Manhattan Theatre.
When half way across the avenue a car, un-
seen by the coachman because Of the pillars of
the elevated railroad, struck the carriage. The
1notorman. William Becker, had seen the car
ria ge too late and had made a vigorous but un-
avaiIing effort to stop his car. The carriage was
TANNED against a pillar. This prevented the
vehicle from overturning.
The coachnnan and Arthur Connolly, the foot
man. kept their seats with difficulty. CALAIS
nluckily held to the lines. and drove at once to
the theatre door.
When the carriage door opened 1t was
seen that the flying glass from one of the doors
had slightly scratched the face Of Mrs. Gould.
When her husband called her attention to 1t
she wiped the blood from her face and entered
the theatre. Both took the accident with cool
ness
A little later the Count and Countess de Cas-
teIIane and a friend entered the theatre. They
had seen the accident. and the Count was much
excited, although he did not know who had
been hurt AS soon as he learned who had been
in the carriage he rushed from his box and con-
graduated Mr and Mrs Gould on their escape
All the glass in the doors and windows Of the
carriage was broken, the lamps were torn off
and the right side, where the car struck, was
spIintered a little.

THE NEW-HAVEN FIRM.
SIo1C Progress in Settlement of Diff,
fculty-Trainmen Less Hopeful.
[RY rEnEGRApH ro THE rRInuNE. !


New-Havens Conn, March 17.-For two hours
this afternoon the special committee from the
directorate of the New-Haven road was IN
session with the joint committee of the train
men and conductors at the Office Of President
John N. Hall. At the conclusion Of the confer
ence the announcement was made that the mat
ter discussed will be left to the further di-
rection of the board, which will meet soon No
definite statement would be made by either side
to the outcome of the first conference except
the unoficial announcement from some Of the
trainmen tonight that both sides still adhere
to their original positions, and that only partial
progress had been made toward a settlement OF
the difficulty. At the conference were President
Hall, w. D. Bishop and Vice-President Mer-
riIl representing the company, and eight con-
ductors and thirty trainmen, representing the
dissa tisfied employees. Charles F. Choate was
absent
Contrary to the general understanding last
night, the conference to-day was purely in
formal and did not go into the question of
grievances. 1t was merely for the purpose OF
coming to an understanding as to the method
of discussing the questions at issue. The New
Haven road officials have not receded from their
refusal to discuss the grievances themselves
with the joint committee. The general feeling
among the trainmen tonight was not so hope
full of a speedy settlement of the difficulties as
last night.
The question is still be settled as to whether
the railroad officials will treat with the joint
committee over the grievances as to pay and
time schedule. 1t is not expected that another
move will be made until the trainren receive
the report Of the attitude which will be taken oy
the board of directors Of the road. 1t was ascer-
tained tonight that nothing like 90 per cent OF
the trainnnen and conductors, as was stated
voted for strike. The conductors failed to re-
turn q tWo-thirds vote which is necessary to de-
clare strike, though the tratnmen were more
largely in favor of such action.
The following statement was given out at
the Office of President Hall after the conference
to-day:
The committee excepting Director Charles F.
Choate, who unable to be present on &C

board of directors of the New-York, NeW-HaVen

board. William D Bishop and First Nlce-PreSi-

ductors and trainmen at the company's offices
this afternoon at o'clock and heard whatever
grievances the committee had to present. The
committee OF the directors will report back to
the board such facts they obtained, and the
matter will be left to the further direction or
the boa I'd which will meet at an early day. Pre-
cfsely when this meeting Will occur has not yet

Citv Streets

Parkersburg, W. Va, March 1.-THE Baltt-
more and Ohio Railroad, claiming the right
under an ordinance adopted in 49,, brought
force Of men into town before daylight this
morning and began to lay track for five blocks
over one of the principal streets of the city
The police had been Informed Of their coming
and instructed to call out the Fire Department
If an attempt made to lay a track The
fremen poured such a stream of water on the
railroad men that they had to abandon the
street.
A clash occurred between Mayor VanderVoort
who is attorney for the Baltimore and Ohio, and
the City Council. The Mayor directed the Police
and Fire departments not to interfere with the
building of the track, but the Council counter
rnanded his orders Following the excitement OF
the early morning, the Council held a special
meeting, at which Impeachment proceedings
were begun against the Mayor. He was sus-
pended from office. and injunction proceedings
we're begun in the Circuit Court. Calls have
been issued for men to protect the street from
further interference, and hundreds are respond
ing.
