FORMAL TREATY SIGNED.
Convention Between Four Central
American Countries.

A treaty of amity, commerce and naviga-
ton has been signed by the governments of
Costa Rlca, Guatemala, Honduras and Sal
vador. This information was conveyed to-
day to the State Department in a cable
gram from Mr.. Merry, who is accredited to
Costa Rica, Nicaragua and San Salvador
Minister Merry says that Nicaragua was
not included in the negotiations. He adds
that Mexican and United States arbitration
is provided for in the treaty.
little more than two months ago rep
resenta tives of Guatemala San Salvador
and Costa Rica met board the United
States cruiser Marblehead and signed a
treaty of peace, thus terminating what
promised to be a serious war among the
Central American republics. At the Mar
blehead conference it was agreed that,
within two months, plenfpotentiaries of the
several governments interested should meet
at an appointed place and conclude Il treaty
of amity, commerce and navigation. Mica
ragua, which, it is said, always has been
OPP posed to union of the Central American
states, was not party to the conference.
That government held that the treaty to be
negotiated was only convention among
belligerents and, therefore, it would not
send plenipotentiaries.
In accordance with the Marblehead agree
ment, plenipotentiares of Costa Rica, Hon
duras, Guatemala and San Salvador met
recently at San Jose the capital of Costa
Rica. They concluded the treaty reported
by Minister Merry. The information was
received at the State Department with salts

SALISBURY DISASTER PROBE.
London Board Charges Accident to
Excessive Train Speed.

LONDON, September 2S.-Excessive speed
causing the engine to overturn, it has
been decided by the board of trade caused
the Salisbury disaster of July last. in
which upward of score of Americans on
their way from Plymouth to London. lost
their lives. In their report issued today
Major Pringlc the representative of the
board of trade, who had charge of the
investigation, says that all the evidence
points to the fact that the speed was at
least twice as great authorized by the
company. and possibly it was as much as
seventy miles per hour. He believes that
had the speed limit of thirty miles through
the station not been exceeded the disaster
would not have occurred.
The report censures the guard of the
train Harrison. for, when he knew that
the speed was dangerous. not applying the
continuous brake. which would have great
ly reduced the speed and possibly pre-
vented the accident. Major PrngIe found
no evidence in support of the allegation
that Americans or any one else were in
the habit of tipping the engineers of
steamboat expresses in order TO encourage
them 10 run the trains q excessive speed.
The report concludes with thanking the
passengers Wlo assisted the board OF trade
inquiry. ana expressing deep regret at the
long roll of valuable lives lost and sincere
sympathy with the relatives and friends
of the victims. and says that this is the
only known case in the united kingdom
where the oVarturning of an engine was
caused by excessive speed.

DATA FOR PENSIONS.
Amendment Made to the Army Regu-
latiouS

A general order just promulgated by the
War Department positively prohibits the
soliciting of pension or other claims against
the United States on military reservations
or at military posts. camps or stations, and
commanding officers are directed to take
measures effectually to prevent such soIic-
itation. Officers and enlisted men who give
information with a view to aiding persons
who solicit such claims will lay themselves
liable to trial by courtmartial.
In this connection the army regulations
have been amended SO as to provide as
follows:
Information concerning sick and wounded
officers and enlisted men may be freely
conveyed to allay the anxiety of friends
The fact of death may be communicated to
relatives, but not circumstances connected
Herewith such could be made use of I'm
prosecuting claims against the government
If any person in the military service has
knowledge of. facts pertaining to the serv-
ice of an individual who is an applicant for
pension he may, upon request. if not
pecuniarily interested, furnish a certificate
or affidavit setting forth his knowledge,
but such certificate affidavit will be fur
nished only to the military secretary of the
army to be forwarded to the proper officer
of the Interior Department.

TIEUP OF STEAMBOAT LINES
Threatened at Baltimore by Demands
for Wage Increase.

BALTIMORE, Md, September 2S.-The
masters and licensed deckmen, to the num-
Der of sixty-seven, employed by several of
the bay steamboat companies have during
the last week handed in their designations
mands for increased wages, averaging %
to 30 per cent granted. The men hoped
for a compromise with the companies, but
making no progress in that direction, Capt.
Luther B. Dow, general counsel and mem
Der of the executive committee of the gen.
eral harbor association, came on from New
York yesterday and took charge of the
situation for them. 1t is said that further
designations may be forthcoming TODAY
The lines involved are the Baltimore
Chesapeake and Atlantic Railway COMPANY
the Maryland Delaware and Virginia Rail-
way Company, the New York and Bati-
more Transportation Company, and the
Ericsson line. The two companies first
named are controlled by the Pennsylvania
railroad. The efforts of the men to secure
higher wages began last June, when a Pc
luton for an increase was presented to
their employers and the matter has dragged
along ever since.
A tieup of the steamboat lines would
cause a serious condition here All the
commission houses of the city are largely
supplied by the produce brought from
southern Maryland, the eastern shore and
the tideWater counties of Virginia over the
lines of the Baltimore Chesapeake and A.
lantic railway, and the Maryland. Della
ware and Virginia railway. To have these
supplies cut off would cause financial loss
and inconvenience to business.

contumely. Murrs.s~ is just as close today

Hearst takes Murphy to his bosom and into
the new party family of which Hearst is
the head.
Oh, but what's the use of pointing ont
paradox in this mess? More important than
the plight of the confused and BETRAYED
electorate of the greater city is the sig
nlncance of this new and powerful mac ;ne
which Mr.. Hearst has secured The demo-
cratic city organization is helpless in his
hands. The moment it attempted to oppose
nm he would swing into the field the cand-
dates of the Independence League and fight
Iammany for its offices.
At His Mercy.
Each county organization up state is at
his mercy. The instant that organized re-
volt is attempted he has a ticket already
in nomination by his Independence League,
and machine organization in that county
to fight for it. Now this situation explains
what was meant all along by saying that
Hearst was trying to sandbag the demo-
cratic party with his independence League.
He forced himself upon the democracy by
threatening third-party ticket, which in
New York city would have ruined the
Iammany crowd, and which up state
might have run ahead of the regular demo-
cratic ticket and wiped out the de,noc-
rags right to second place on the ballot
in the future.
These dispatches from Buffalo essayed
to point out from time to time how the
deals and barriers were made between
Murphy and Hearst to cement the union
between their logically incongruous forces;
how contesting delegations were seated

possibilities of practical work to the dem

the state.
There Is full county committee in every
county and there are clubs in every cirv

The next move of Mr. Hearst will be to
lard the democratic machine with the indie
pendence League outfit. If the league IS
stronger in a county he will attach his
democratic supporters to it. If the demo-
cratic machine is in power, but ricketv he
will stick in his leaguers
