To illustrate the futility OF the TiIlmar'
performance, it is enough TO note that he
made one of his main points in question
ing the legality of the clearing house
certificates with which the country Is
flooded" The idea OF the country being
flooded with clearing house certificates
would be amusing, but that, under thu
circumstances, 1t Is not to laugh. The
Senator only too evidently has very little
notion as to what a clearing house GER
tiilcate really is. He never saw such a
voucher in his life, and neither, presum-
ably, did any of the gentlemen he was
addressing. So far from flooding the
country. these certificates are restricted 10
the narrowest possible limits, and never
known outside these und As to the
legality Of their issue, that is, in a way.

HARRIMAN'S LETTER.
Being Discussed in New York With
Deep Interest

NEW YORK, April 3.-The publication of
the letter from f. H. Hartman to Sid
ney Webster and the correspondence be-
tween President Roosevelt and Representa-
tive Sherman and the President and Mr.
Hartman was given the widest discussion
in financial and political circles today. The
statement Siven out by Mr.. Hartman last
night In reply to the Roosevelt Sherman
correspondence was eagerly read, especially
in Wall street. where Mr. Harriman's posi,
ton as leader in the railroad world has
given him such prominence. Mr. Hartman
himself was not at his Office as early as
usual today 1t was said that he was in
consultation with several of his friends "a
to the present aspects of the situation, pre-
sumably with view to defining his fu-
ture attitude and course of procedure

TAFT AT PANAMA,
H Holds Conference With Officials
There

PANAMA. April 3.-Secretary Taft con-
ferred at the Presidential yesterday with
President Amador and Secretary of State
Arias from In the morning until 2:3O
In the afternoon. The points discussed:
First-The commissary department
Second-The importation Of liquors, to-
bacco and specially taxed articles.
Third-The Hotel TivOli at Ancon.
Fourth-The landing of merchandise for
consumption with the republic, via Cristo-
bal and La Boca.
Fifth-The canal employees
Sixth-The paving of streets
Mr.. Taft agreed that the commissary
department should import only articles Of
first necessity required for feeding the
employees and that no liquors should be
imported.
The United States the Secretary noin,od
out desired that its employees should enjoy
the benefits of a first-class hotel. and also
that Americans wishing to visit the isthmus
should be enabled to see how the Amer;
can taxpayers money was being spent
Regarding other people, the canal COM
missioners assured President Amador that
his executive order of November 1904
which fully protected Panama's rights in
preventing smuggling and landing goods via
the canal zone would be obeyed
Mr.. Taft was informed that a certain
amount of iil-feeling existed among the
Panamans because of the great distinctions
made by the commissioners between Pana-
mans and American and foreign. and even
Jamaican employees, not only rega riding
salaries, but in general treatment The
statement surprised the Secretary. who
though he was not ready to answer the
point, said that HIS informant might rest
assured that stop would be put to anv
injustice.
The questions Of the importation of to-
bacco and the paving Of streets have not
Yet been settled

American merchant ship between two ports
In Central America Gen. Barrundia was
shot and killed beneath the stars and
stripes The merchantmen, with Gen. Bar
rundia aboard, touched at Honduran port,
and the local authorities made demand
upon the ships captain Tor the surrender
appealed to Commander Reiter, who COM
manded a United States man-of-war, then
In the harbor, who directed that Gen. Bar
rundia be surrendered. This, however, the
merchant captain still refused to do. but
an armed force of Hondurans boarded his
ship and killed Barrundo in the cabin.
This affair was greatly deplored in the
United States. Commander Reiter received
a severe reprimand from the then Secre-
tary of the Navy, and since that time the
right of asylum aboard a United States
warship under such circumstances has been
very literally construed.
Complaint Against Brown.
Mr.. Corea, the Nicaraguan minister,
called at the State Department today and
inquired as to what authority Philip l.
Brown, secretary of the American lega-
ton to Guatemala and Honduras, had for
his interference with the bombardment
OF Amapala, Honduras, by the Nicara-
guam forces. Mr.. Corea's advices from
his home government show that Mr..
Brown went to Amapala by the courtesy
of the Nicaraguan officers, assuring them
that he hoped to persuade President Bo-
nilla az Honduras to surrender, thus end
ing the bombar dment of the city.
The Nicaraguans consented to cease hiring
for twenty-four hours Before that time
Mr.. Brown went to La Union, Salvador
and from there he directed protest on be-
half of Salvador against the renewal of the
bonn ba rdment of Amapala, saying that Sal
vador would regard such action as dec
laration of war by Nicaragua against the
Salvadorian republic.
1t is the desire of the Nicaraguan gov
eminent to learn by what right Mr.. Drown
is acting for Salvador. Such interference
on his part is a radical step. and all Cen
trail American republics much inter-
ested in the outcome State Department
officials have refused to disclose what Mr.
Browns instructions have been.

FIVE HURT AT FIRE
DANGEROUS BLAZE IN ONE OF
THE TERMINAL BUILDINGS.
Damage Of $4,000 and There Will Be
Delay Of Thirty Days
on Work

NEW YORK. April 3.-Fire caused by q
spark from one of the boiler rooms in the
excavation for the McAdoo tunnel terminal
at Dey, Fulton and Church streets early
today did damage estimated at $4,000, and
a delay of thirty days in the completion of
the work on the huge terminal buildings
will result. Five men were injured dur
In one of the deep caissons, two of them
so severely that it was necessary to take
them to hospital Those severely injured
are John O'Hara and Edward Murphy, both
tunnel workers.
The fire started on high wooden struc-
ture midway between Dey and Cortland
streets, and used to support a hosting en-
CINE. BY the time the fire department
reached the scene the shower of sparks
and embers from the burning boiler house
had set fire to dozen other boiler houses
and similar structures in the excavation.
These, together with several big derricks,
were badly burned, and the temporary
wooden flooring over the surface of Dey
Many Thrilling Rescues.
There were many thrilling rescues and
several instances Of personal bravery dur
ing the progress of the fire. Deep down
under the ground in the 100 and more cais-
sons which are being sunk for the founda-
tons of the big terminal buildings to rest
upon were between five and six hundred
men at work. When it was seen that there
was danger of the fire spreading to all Of
the engine houses south of Dey street, shut

the buckets lowered into the caissons to

Flames Ragged Violently.
Around some Of the derricks used to lower

them until the last one of the tunnel work
ers was brought up to safety.

BIG CHRISTIAN CONFERENCE.
Twenty-Four Nationalities Repre-
sented at World Meeting in Toxic.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
TOXIC. April 3.-The conference of the
Christian students of the world opened here
this afternoon. Twenty-four nationalities
were represented by $50 delegates, of whom
400 were orientals. The holding of the con-
ference in Toxic is especially pleasing to
the Japanese as it is the first international
gathering of any kind that has been held
in the orient They also welcome it be-
cause of the effective service the Young
Mems Christian Associa ton did among the
japanese soldiers during the late war.
The delegates were formally received at
the foreign office by Foreign Minister Wis.,
count Hayashi and his yiscountess. At the
first session of the conference cordial mes
sa ges of greeting were received from Wis.,
count Hayashi and Mayor Maxine of OZaki,
as we'll as others from President Roosevelt
and several European statesmen.

The Chicago Postmastership


Senator Cullom called upon the President
on the result of the Chicago mayoralty
election, in which Postmaster Busse was
elected mayor. AS his term of Office will
be for four years and extend through a
presidential year his election is of impor-
lance TO the republicans. "A successor to
Mr.. Busse as postmaster Will soon be
chosen. Senator Hopkins will be most
concerned, as Senator Cullom usually turns
over Chicago appointments to him. So far
the two senators have not talked over the
matter.
The Postal Commission.
Senator Garter of Montana, who is
member of the postal commission appointed
to consider the question of better business
methods for the Post Office Department,
was at the White House today. The sena-
tors and members composing this commits
sion have a good deal of work ahead of
them, but are going to try hard to have
something to report at the next session Of
Congress
Speaking of one Of the features of the
situation which has presented itself during
the time the committee has been at work,
the senator said that it had been charged
that the money order department Of the
government loses 81 900 per day. The COM
mittee had not found this charge substan-
tldteQ, DuC the senator expressed the Opln-
ion that undoubtedly there was consider
abe laxity in various bureaus of the postal
service that ought to be remedied. For
instance, 1t is said the government loses
cents a pound on every pound of second
class newspaper mail sent through the
mails. When the commission called on the
department for an explanation, the senator
said, it found the officials had no means
of giving any information on it. All was
guesswork. Expert accountants will be
employed to go over the. records and see If
the charges are substantiated.
There is proposition for the appoint
ment of director of posts, who is to hold
his position irrespective of any changes
there may be in the Office of the Post
master General. which the senator admitted
had some merit, and the commission will
consider the propriety of recommending the
creation of such an office.

thoriry of the President These state
ments are utterly untrue"
That portrait in the center, with the
festoon OF crepe above IL, Is easily recog-
nized as the face of Dear Bellamy." The
crepe Is in memory Of a dead friendship.
Everybody recalls the correspondence be-
tween President Roosevelt and Mr.. Beliamy
Storer, sometime ambassador to Austria
and minister to Spain. 1t was long series OF
letters, backward and forward between
the two of them, but for the purpose Of
identitcation In this gallery the whole thing
resolves itself into the Presidents conclud-
ing statement to Mr.. Storer: The assertion
tnat in any private conversation / took an
opposite position from that which 1 was
thus repeatedly expressing in writing is
not only an untruth,, but an absolute I'M
truth
The next portrait, ladies and gentlemen,
is one not SO well known to the public.
He is only the son of poor. but honest. par
ents. 1t Is Mr.. G. o. Shields, president of
the League of American Sportsmen. The
trouble was something about bill to pro-
hibit the use of automatic shotguns in the
territories. It's a long story anu involved;
anyhow, the President settled the thing.
He wrote to Mr.. Shields: Not one single
sentence you quote as said It, Some of
the sentences are sheer inventions; others
are inventions in part" So, bling. goes up
Mr.. Shields portrait.
Minister Bowen.
The next portrait as We pass rapidly along
is that of Mr.. Bowen, sometime minister to
Venezuela. He got tangled up In three
cornered fight with Acting Secretary Of
State Loomis and the President, and when
the President reviewed the case he wrote
to Secretary Taft: 1T is disingenuous for
Mr.. Bowen repeatedly to use such language
Mr.. Bowen's statement is shown to
be absolutely untrue
OF course, the Hartman portrait in the
center there is familiar to all, since the de-
tails of Its acceptance by the hanging COM
mittee were published yesterday. That
bunch of stuff on the center table need not
be scanned, as it includes only tntypes Of
unimportant people and a few daguerre-
otypes of dead-and-gone characters. The
