WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 90
| The Interior Department has been au-
vised that Gov Carter's annual report
| has already started from Honolulu 1t
| is expected here in a few days. AS
| soon as received, it will be hurried to
the Government Printing office, mark
ed special" so that the galley proofs
of it may " ready in a few days. Sec
rotary Hitchcock will begin on his an
nual report before long and soon the
Governors annual report will be brief
ed from the galley proofs and placed
before the Secretary. This will be so
that he can determine what recon-
mendations he wants to make with ref
erence to the Hawaiian Territory. AS
matter of fact the Secretary usually
follows the recommendations of the
Governor pretty closely Reports from
all the Territorial governors, includ-
ing Hawaii, Alaska, Arizona, New
Mexico, and Oklahoma are distracted
in the Secretary's annual report.
Furthermore the early receipt of the
Hawaiian report Is awaited because 1t
will furnish suggestions on which to
make up the annual estimates for the
islands. Most of these Territorial es-
Inmates come from the office of the
Secretary of the Interior. but not all
OF them. The Secretary is familiar
with many question OF interest to the
Islands and Will treat them from his
own standpoint for the official informh-
ton Of Congress It is not likely that

Co., Ltd, a lengthy affidavit of Her
man Heyneman of San Francisco Is
filed. Affiant is agent of the American
Tobacco Co., and his declaration. with
many exhibits attached, goes to show
that after the dissolution of copart-
nership of Hyman Brothers, doing
business in Honolulu, and the success
sion of Isidor Rubnstein to them un-
der the name of l. Rubinstein & Co.,
the American Tobacco Co. refused an
order of that firm for 10000 pounds OF

for continuance to him of the BUSH

REVENUE CUTTER.

REVENUE CUTTER.
1t is learned at the Treasury Depart
ment that an estimate will be forward
ed to Congress again this year for a
revenue cutter for use in Hawaiian
waters and there is some hope of get
ting it through both branches at the
short session. Because of the pres
sure to curtail expenses the Treasury
officials did not urge the legislation
| last winter AS will be remembered
Senator Perkins of California secured
/ the passage of bill appropriating for
| the construction of n cutter for Ha-
wall and Delegate Kalanianaole
strongly urged it before the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce but Col. Pete" Hepburn
thwarted his efforts at every turn, Col.
Hepburn being chairman of that COM
mittee.

WRECK AT BOUND BROOK.
Freight Cars 4re Piled IN Heaps
Al Traffic Blocked.

SOmervie. n. J.. Nov. 30-There was a bad
freight wreck the New-Jersey Central Rail
road at Bound Brook at , O'Clock this after
noon, which has completely blocked all traffic
on the Central and Philadelphia and Reading
railroads at that point. The Harrisburg flyer
and several Philadelphia trains stalled on
either side of the wreck tonight The wreck
vas caused by a special coal train pulling out
on the main track in front Of an eastbound
fast freight, near the Bound Brook station.
The engine of the freight train struck the
ccal train in the centre and fell over its
side. Nine coal and freight cars were piled
up over the four tracks Thomas Dougherty,
the engineer. and Frederick Kline a fireman,
saved their lives by jumping from the engine
IS it tipped over Dougherty escaped with a
sprained ankle and severe bruises about the
body. Kline was also slightly injured.
A second wreck was narrowly averted by the
quick action of the engineer of a Phadelphia.
express. The express bowling along at the
rate of sixty miles an hour Just east of Bound
Brook station, when tho engineer say the cars of
the wrecked trains pilirg up in front of him. He
reversed his engine and applied the airbrakes

STRIKE OYER.
Colorado Miners Erpect Cripple
Creek Situation to Improve.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE ra1BuxE.l

TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
Ouray COL Nov. 30.-At the special meeting
Of the San Juan District Miners Association last
night the strike in the metalliferous mines in
the Telluride district, called September /. 1908
was declared off This action by the Western
Federation OF Miners follows the action OF the
mine owners and mine operators in the Telluride
district of a few weeks ago in which the latter
granted an eight-hour work day. with a rniri-
mum wage scale of So day
President Meyer says: Il believe a change
will come in sixty days that will be for the bet
terrnent of the Cripple Creek situation"
The calling OFF OF the strike is a decided vic
tory for the mine operators. They have filed
their mines with non-union men. and the Citi-
zens Alliance of Telluride has driven the lead
ing agitators from the camp Many of these
agitators returned after the troops were re-
called from Telluride but they have been
driver out and made to understand that harsh
measures would be adopted If they again tried
TO return. The calling off of the strike means
that the open shop idea Is now TO rule at
Telluride, law abiding union men being sure OF
positions and not in danger of blacklisting.

OWE CITY S5,OOO,OOO.
SUBWAY CONCERNS DEBT.
Commissioners of accounts Find
"Frenzied Finance"

The Commissioners of Accounts have discov-
cred some "frenzied finance" in the bookkeep-
ing of the Consolidated Telegraph and Electrical
Subway Company and the Empire City Sub
way Company. Limited. which. the Commission
ers of Accounts say. the city S5O00O OOO
which the two companies owned by the Con-
solidated Gas Company, refuse TO pay.
Corporation Counsel Delany has renewed the
city's fight against the Gas Trust. and the city's
complaint directly charges that on account of
the defendant companies Juggling of their ac-
counts, it is not possible for the city to dis
cover exactly what their receipts are 1t is ex-
pected that the amended complaint in the ac-
tion will be served to-day Il is understood
that ElihU Root has been retained by the Gas
Trust
The one fact that stands out more clearly than
anything else is this In 1856 the city gave the
Cons 1lidated Telegraph and Electrical Subway
Company monopoly of the business of running
underground telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires In the city. expecting to obtain a
considerable revenue from the privilege The
company never has paid the city a dollar for
the franchise, and does not propose TO, Judging
from its tactics That the Gas Trust feels fairly
secure in its position is shown by the fact that
its agents are quietly picking up the minority
stock of the Consolidated Telegraph and Elec-
trcal Subway Company. This stock for years
has been without market. Apparently the
company never was organized to earn dividends
else the city would have shared In its profits
1t has been a no account stock so long that
it has been slightingiy referred to as being
worth about 10 cents a bushel"
That the affairs of a concern enioying a
monopoly of subway wirestrinF;ny can escape
its obligations TO the city has been subject
foI surprise for some time. Under the terms
Of the contract the city is empowered TO take
over the subway electric monopoly when the
contract IS violated. But 1t cannot make anv
move In that direction until 1t can prove that
the company is evading Its obligations. and that
is what Corporation Counsel Delany is trying
to do now.
The report of the Commissioners Of Accounts
shows that the stockholders of the Consolidated
company are as follows:

Loaded B,ick Sco7o Stuck in the
Mad at q Dra1Cb7dee.

A loaded brick scow stuck in the mud in the
drawbridge of the New-York Central and Hud-
son River Railroad late yesterday afternoon, and
for two hours held up all traffic through and
local, north and south. of the main line and
Harlem division local trains Fully a score of
trains were held above and below the draw
bridge at Cromwens Creek This stream flows
into the Harlem River about one hundred and
fifty feet east of Macombs Dam Bridge on the
Macomb's Dam side of the river
Passengers or local trains bound for the High
Bridge and Morris Heights districts finally left
their trains and many continued by trolley but
that service was unprepared for the extra traffic
and theer heavy jam. Many, to take cars
climbed the steep embankment at One-hundred-
and-sixtieth-st and JerOme-ave.
The scow was lashed to a small tug and bound
for the yards of Clifford l. Miller. up Cromwelrs
Creek She attempted the passage through the
draw at low water at 4:25 o'clock. The scow
settled in the mud and the tug was unable to
bulge her.
Meanwhile above the draw the express from
Buffalo. the New-Yorll Express and the New
York and Boston Express all due at the Grand
Central Station at from to 5:15 O'clock We're
held, while below the draw a POughkeepsie local.
the Lake Shore Limited. the Big Four and
Michigan Central Express and the Western Ex-
press came to stop. In addition there were
seven or eight local trains on each side Of the
source of trouble and miles back III either di-
rectious trains were held Later. q number Of
outbound trains were sent over the Putnam
division to -hundred-and-fifty- -fifth-st.
For nearly two hours. while the tide went to
It's lowest point and then slowly began to rise,
the scow lay helpless. At last. two harbor tugs
began pulling and pushing. and after fifteen
minutes work, at 6:20 O'Clock. the SCoW was
moved up the creek and the draw was closed.
Ii was not until $50 o'clock that trains began
ia leave or enter the Grand Central Station on
schedule time. From the time the block began
local trains the Harlem Division and all
main lire trains sent out from the Grand
Central Station until about $40 o'clock. Then
the commuters and those destined for through
travel who kept arriving in streams found them
selves able to get no further than the iron gates
in the train sheds. The arriving crowds packed
the shed platform, the waiting room and the
sidewalk on the Forty-second-st st. front Of the
station. The reserves of the Grand Central po-
lice preserved order.
Regular traffic on the White Plains Division
and on the New York. New Haven and Hartford
Railroad not disturbed.

Total shares

Among other instances Of "frenzied finance"
found by the Commissioner Of Accounts Is that
while the company is allowed under the terms
of It's contract with the city 10 per cent Of the

S200000O of bonds alleged to have been used
To defray the cost of constructing the subwa Y

per cent on its investment. while the contract
seems TO make 1t plain that only 10 per cent

is alleged in the complaint that the Consolidated
Company foated some Of it's bonds at go per
