Meet at Washington.

Washington. Sept. l2.-Practfcal
agreement on the main points and
general good will marked the prelim-
mary meeting of the representatives
of the FIVE Central American republics
to carry out the suggestion OF the
United States and Mexico for a per-
manept peace understanding. After a
session OF several hours the confer
ence was adjourned until Monday
next. The governments represented
were as follows: Costa Rica. Mica
ragua, Guatemala, Salvador and Hon
duras. Assistant Secretary of State
Adee of the United States and Senior
Godoy OF Mexico were present. The
only point on which any hitch &C.
CURED was that relating to the pro-
tOcol TO be signed. Two OF the Central
American representative were with
out authority to sign the document
without first submitting 1t to their
governments. One Of these said 1t
was possible that this might involve
some trouble and perhaps the chang
ing OF the protocol in some import
ant particulars. Some delay, there
fore, Is expected to be caused by rea
son of this fact. 1t is not doubted
however, that a permanent peace pact
will be entered into.
Everything WAS exceedingly en-
couraging," said Mr.. Adee, and the
utmost good nature prevailed"

have been worked out by the North
western to expedite the movement Of
trains through Norfolk at the noon
hour and with the special aim to send
the Black Hills passenger on to Omaha

at 1880, thirty minutes later than the
present scheduled time which it has
been impossible to observe.

rive at 1850 instead Of 1890. This
train will leave for the west at lis,
arriving at Oakdale at 2:11 and fur
nishing connections at that point with
the Oakdale and Scribner freight
which will leave at 2:15. This connec-
ton with freight $40 is one that is of
great convenience to many travellers
leaving Norfolk at noon on the Lander

Xious to Shocks.

vious to Shocks.
New York, Sept. 1.-THE Erie Rail
road company has received an all-steel
passenger coach, which is on exhibit
ton at the Jersey City terminal. The
car is practically non-wreckable and
will not burn. There is less than 300
pounds of wood or other infiammable
material used in it construction, and
all of that has been treated with a
preparation which, it is said, renders
it impervious to heat.
The car is strongly built so that it
will stand almost any shock that rail-
road service will give it. Its weight,
which is nearly fifty tons, and much
in excess of that Of the wooden car,
is the only bad point. from an operat-
ing view, but it is expected that de.
signsrs will profit by experience and
produce steel coach of equal strength
but of lighter weight
