PRECAUTIONS TAKEN.
Southern Railway Company to In
spect It's Block Systems.

AS a result of the recent accidents at
been caused by the inefficency of the tee-
graph operators in charge of the block
system, the Southern railway is preparing
to improve it's train safety system and in a
short time special inspectors are to be ap-
pointed whose sole duty will be to look after
the work of the operators in the block sig
nal towers.
These inspections will be made at irregu-
lar intervals and at times when least ex-
pected that if an operator is not eff
cient it will be quickly ascertaned.
Mr.. G. Fl. Ackert, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the Southern, in a circular
letter made public yesterday evening, speak
ing of some recent comments made on the
age of the operators in charge of railroad
block towers, and the allegation that they
were too youthful to properly fulfil their
duties, says:
These comments have, however caused
me to make special investigation to ascer-
tain definitely the age of operators en-
ployed on other standard lines. l find that
the ages of operators on our line are we'll
up to the standard age, it being universally
considered that an operator, If of sufficient
intelligence, is entirely reliable for such
work at eighteen years Of age, which is the
age permitted by statute in one or more of
the states. Some well-managed companies
accept operators at sixteen years of age, if
their character and intelligence justify.
Mr.. Ackert also says the age question
could not properly arise in connection with
the accident at Lawyers, as the operator
there was twenty-five years of age

THE IRISH PARLIAMENT.
Something About the Old Building
That May Yet Be Used Again.

| From the Dundee Advertiser
| The old Irish parliament house which.
according to rumor may be occupied by a
national council under a devolution scheme
ere long, Is one of the architectural gIories
OF Dublin In its exterior aspects it remains
the same as 1t was when in the possession
of the lords and commons of Ireland, but
internally it has been knocked about to
meet the requirements of the Bank of Ire
land, into whose hands II passed after the
act of union. The legislative .lall of the
commons, which once resounded with the
;eloquence of Grattan, Curran Plunket and
Flood, has been practically destroyed, and
| the present public banking chamber occu-
pies part of its site. But the house of
lords remains intact, just as IT was at the
time OF the union, and is the most interest
ing and attractive part of the building to
visitors. Curran, who was a determined
opponent of the union. was one day passing
the old parliament house in the company OF
member who had voted for 1t. That MEM
Der displayed signs of irritation and eX-
pressed a wish to see the building removed
Il am not surprised" said Curran, there
never yet was a murderer who was not
afraid of ghost"
The Irish house of commons sat for the
last time on June 10, 1890. 1t was the duty
of Lord Castlereagh to move the third read
ing of the union bill, and he discharged the
duty with the utmost apparent equanimity.
Other members were not so composed, and
to conceal their emotion hurriedly left the
room. The speaker, who hated the me ASSURE,
rose to put the fateful question. He held
up the bill for a moment in silence and
looked, according to a spectators account
of the scene, steadily around on the last
agony of the expiring parliament. He at
length repeated in an emphatic tone: AS
many as are of opinion that this bill do
pass say aye; the contrary say no. The
affirmative was languid, but indisputabIe.
Another momentary pause ensued. Again
his lips seemed to decline their Office. At
length. with an eye ayerted from the OBJ
ject which he hated. he proclaimed with a
subdued voice: The ayes have it, The

EXPRESS RATES NEXT.
Interstate Commission to Start New
Inquiry.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special D1spatch to Inc Star.
CHICAGO. H., December ao-The inter-
state commerce commission is preparing
to make thorough investigation into the
rates charged by the big express companies
of the country for ascertaining whether
they are excessive. Commissioner Franklin
X. Lane stated today that it had been IN
tended to hold the first hearing at Wash
ington on December %. He thought that
for reasons which recently had developed It
might be postponed a short time. Within
n few weeks however hearings will be held
at Washington and Chicago, and probably
at New York.
The commission can only inquire into the
reasonabeness of the rates of common
carriers. and change them after formal
complaint and hearing. Mr.. Lane stated
that a number of complaints had been re-
ce.ved from all parts of the country that
the rates of express companies are excess
sive, and that, therefore, the commission
will conduct practically a general invest-
CATION. taking all their complaints at the
time. The inquiry regarding express
rates will be one Of the first fruits of the
provision of the new rate law specifically
making express companies and sleeping car
companies common carriers
Should the commission order reductions
1t Is expected that the express companies
will fight the matter out in the courts. and
thus the validity of the provision of the
new law in reference to them will be put to
the test The results of the investigation
are expected to have an important in :ence
on the agitation for a parcels post. which
has been growing in strength for several
years. The chef argument of the advocates
of the parcels post has been that it is i'm
possible to get the express companies to
carry packages for reasonable rates.
The rates probed at the first hearing in
Washington will be those obtaining in the
country radiating directly east, north and
south from that city. The next hearing will
probably lie in Chicago. and will relate to
the rates in the territory tributary to this
city. The hearing in New York will relate
principally to rates in New England and
the east.

Gen. Tyler's Advice.
HEADQUARTERS CAMr DOUGLAS,
CHICAGO. ILL.,, October o. 1852.
General:-I have no answer to my letter
of October relative to the Goth Regiment,
Ohio Volunteers. II my advice had been
acted on we should have been saved all the
trouble we are now experiencing at this
post.
This regiment is disorganized, mutinous
and worthless. Yesterday. its day for guard
duty, out of 500 men reported tit for duty.
only 152 men could be found, and they
deserted their posts during the night. The
officers have not the least control over the
men, the men are mutinous. and l am abso-
lutely without the power to enforce subordi-
nation. The men l am trying to use as
guards are all more or less affected by the
idea that the government has right,
under their paroles, to require the least
service from them.
1 have written for instructions this
matter and have no answer to my letters.
have telegraphed for a copy of the capt.
ulation, but have no reply. There is a
rumor in camp that the question of doing
guard duty has been referred to Gen. Hal
leck. and that he doubts the right of the
government to exact this kind of service
Of these paroled men.
1 now beg of you to bring this question
of the discharge Of the 60th Ohio before
the Secretary and have 1t decided Now is
the time-it will help sustain discipline, for
the officers don't want to be discharged. 1t
will rid the government of worthless regi-
ment, whose times are out now, as the men
claim and in February next, the officers
claim. If the order comes promptly the
muster on the 31st instant can close up
the regimental accounts and prepare the
way to discharge the regiment forthwith.
VIII you get this question decided, and
let me know the decision at once. 1t is a
one-year regiment and more than nine
tenths of the men were enlisted a
year ago. l think their times are out.
With great respect,
Your obedient servant,
DAN TYLER.

Prisoners Moved Without Trouble.

These orders We're carried into effect and
the prisoner taken to Fort Sam Houston,
whereupon General McCaskey was notified
as follows:
After conference between acting attorney
general and acting Judge advocate general
it has been decided that enlisted men Of
battalion of 18th Infantry en- route to Fort
Reno must be held without privileges and
under strict surveillance as being in mill
tary custody either as offenders or witnesses
in Brownsville case; also that. IL attempt
Is made by states authorities to serve ad-
ditional process against individual soldiers
of said battalion offenders witnesses,
the men must not be surrendered, but re-
turn to process must be made in each case
to the effect that soldier is in military GUS
tody, and that, military Jurisdiction has
already attached, compliance with process
must be deferred
In his reply General McCaskey said:
mo trouble or indication of Interference
on part of any one route or in San An
tonic. Delay at Brownsville occasloned by
demand of Captain Mcdonald, state ranger
that men mentioned in warrants be not re-
moved, but turned over him. Judge Welsh,
who issued the warrants, revoked and alb
rogated them; hence it Is believed that
status of these prisoners Is the same as
previous to their confinement provided
prisoners are closely guarded and will be
held subject to instructions of the War
Department. Some of these men are I'M
doubtedly innocent of any participation in
civil authorities selected these special names

work.
General McCaskey was subsequently in
structed that If attempt be made by sta tie
authorities to serve additional warrants or
subpoenas at Fort Reno to make return
thereto that the soldiers are held by mill
tary authorities for trial for military Of
lenses involved in their alleged participa-
ton In Brownsville disturbance, or as wit
nesses tn such trials, and that compliance
with state process must for the present be
deferred. -
In reporting the movement of the bat
talon from Brownsville Gen. MeCasky said
he was of the opinion that no less au-
| thority than that of the President of the
United States could have secured the re-
| moval Of the prisoners without serious con-
| f1ict and much loss of life, for the battalion
| would have been removed and any resist
ance would have been met by force
