Des Nfoines. Iowa. Sept. 21-In an address
before the Grant Club tonight Edwin H.
Conger, ex-Mnister to China. said that in the
failure Of Americans to build the Hankov Rail
way faith had been broken with China. and
Americas good standing with the Chinese Sc
riously impaired. He said:
We made a serious mistake when we per
mitted our railroad concession in China to be
relnQuished 1t will prove q sad blow to our
future efforts to establish advantageous bust

When were granted the concession I per
sOnaIy made representations to the Chinese that
the railroad would be built by the Americans
who got the concession and assured them
my honor that the concession was not secured
for exploitation, and that 1t would not be sold
or relinquished- Now the concession has been
released and the business men of China feel
that they have a right TO look future bust
ness proposals from Americans with suspicion
The REIMBURSEMENT of the concession was ut

DOG DELIVERS NEWSPAPERS.
Carries Them from the Black Diamond Ex-
press to Schuyler County Farmers.

Government rural free delivery in Schuyler Coun-
" has q strong competitor. collie dog awaits
the arrival Of the Black Diamond Express from
New-York and Philadelphia at a point on the
Iehigh Valley Railroad near Watkins Glen on
Seneca AXE and carries home TO his master on a
farm near by, q bundle of newspapers thrown from
the train by the Pullman conductor. who makes
up the package from papers that have been aban-
doned by the passengers his car Thus the
farmers around there get their afternoon New-York
and Philadelphia papers about twelve hours ahead
OF the government delivery.
The good fortune of the farmers has resulted
from what might be called canine curiosity. Sew
eral months ago the Pullman conductor noticed q
collie waiting at the tracks every time the Black
Diamond Express passed One day he threw of a
bundle Of newspapers, which the dog eagerly took
in hie mouth and galloped away with AS this
scented 10 be what the dog had been waiting for.
the conductor and others on the run of the Black
Diamond Express have continued the practice, ano
il is daily occurrence although the speed Of
the Black Diamond Express at this particular point
is above sixty miles hour. and the papers have
TO be made up in strong packages TO prevent being
scattered when the bundle hits the ground. The
interest OF the tTainmen mas spread to the passen-
GERS who eagerly look out for the canine rural
delivery messenger when passing that point.
The dog arrives at the point where he meets the
train half hour before train time each day, start

coached TO do so.

EXONERATE DIR. HAND.
COMMITTEES Find Pastor Innocent OF
Any immortality.
rBy Telegraph 70 The Tribune-l


Stamford. Conn. Sept. 21.-The committees
which have been investigating rumors OF i'm
proper conduct by the Rev. DR.. J. Howard
Hand pastor of the Methodist Church OF Rye
n Y have completely exonerated him Or.
Hands case has been under careful constdera-
ton since August There was no formal charge
made. but the gossip became so loud that Pre-
siding Elder J E. Adams, OF Stamford, decided
to make a preliminary Investigation. A cora
r,7i++ee Of three Iaymen, members Of the Rye
church. and another committee Of three minis
rers of New-York City were appointed The
names are withheld by the Church authorities
The committees investigated Independently at
first and later considered the case as Joint
committee with DR.. Hand. DR.. Hand has ap-
reared before both committees on several coca
sions- and so have other mem ers Of the Rye
church. No girl whose name has been mentioned
has been before the committee. The result of
the committees Iabors summed up to-day
by a member of a committee in the following
statement:
There have been rumors about Mr.. Hand
which fnsinuated wrongdoing, but no formal
charges have been made against him. An in
formal but careful inquiry failed to elicit proof
Of immortality There has been no demand for
the withdrawal Of DR.. Hand from the Church.
and. so far as can be ascertained, there IS no
Immediate prospect that he will be given an
other charge The finding closes the incident so
far as the Church authorities are concerned
After the conference closed ar the Rye Church
last night it was announced that DR.. Hands case
would go before Bishop Warren to-day, and that
II would then be decided whether or not he would
finish the conference year At rye
