Some Tery Interesting Correspon dence Given toihe Pnblic A CHARGE OP DISCKIMINATION Made Against the Sister Kepnblic Across the Big Pond. FIGURES TO BACK DP ALL STATEMENTS The President has sent to the Senate in formation concerning the refusal of Trance to admit American pork. A letter from Whitelaw Beid to Prime Minister Bibot is the most interesting feature. WASHlXGTOir, August 15. In com pliance -with the resolution of the Senate of last July, calling Jor all correspondence not already submitted to Congress and now in the Department of State touching the efforts made by this government to secure the modification or repeal by the French Gov ernment of its decree of 1881 prohibiting the importation into France of American pork and kindred American products, the President to-day sent to the Senate a letter from the Acting Secretary of State on the subject, together with a large volume of correspondence between Minister Beid and Secretary Blaine, beginning July, 1889. The acting secretary, in his letter of trans mittal, states that the correspondence dis closes the important fact that the French Government now practically places its ex clusion of our pork products upon economic instead of sanitary grounds. AX TCfJUST DISCRIMIirATIOjr. As this policy of exclusion, says Mr. "Wharton, as a measure for the protection of the domestic products of France, is applied only to the United States, the depart ment has not failed to protest against the discrimination as unjust. The correspondence is quite voluminous, including statements by the Secretary ot Agriculture to the Secretary of State, of the prohibitive edicts and regulations, but the most important .portion is contained in a long letter addressed by Mr. Eeid to Mr. Bibot, on July 3. last. Mr. Beid reminds the Minister that he is waiting for the fulfillment of assurances unofficially given by M. Vigniaud, in con section with the McKinley administrative bill. He says: "You will recall that while advising you of my earnest efforts to procure the desired re moral ot needless or unjust restrictions upon your trade, 1 pointed oat once more that the greatet obstacle arose from what our people consider the persistent injustice of France in the prohibition of the great STAPLE AMERICAN PRODUCT on the indefensible ground that it is unwhole soma. Your Excellency was good enongh tnen to intimate that the government wonld be willing to propose the repeal of this prohi bition. Such steps now would be most timely and could not till . to hare a beneficial effect "While the belief was current that this course would oe speedily taken, the House ot Representatives voteu to remove tne auty ot 3 per cent on pictures sum statues. Seeinc now that it is not taken and beginning to believe that it will not be, the K.nat rnmmittee has alreadv amended the tariff bill by imposing this duty, and there is danger that the Senate will approve their ac tion. It is only candid to explain that the ma jority of the Senators and Representatives, in cluding especially those from the great corn growing and porlc producing States, regard the attitude of France as without warrant in fact, and unfriendly. This old and growing feeling arises, unlike your recent complaints about our tariff bills xrouino mere objection of duty you choose to impose, although within recent years yon have greatly increased it, or to mlnordetalls in yonr Custom Bouse methods. It springs from a grievance more serious and deep-seated yonr persistent discrimination in favor of the prod ucts of Germany, Italy, England and other countries against those of your historic friend, which yon absolutely prohibit on the charge of their bad quality. AIT ACT OF JUSTICE. We ask the repeal of this prohibition as an act of naked justice, too long denied. It has been excused only by alleging the unhealthf nl ness of American port. Now this product is perfectly known not to be -unheal thfnl, and we no longer hear of any serious belief in any quarter that it Is. Your Academy of Medicine long since decided in its favor. Your own Ex position gave it the highest award last year, in competition with all the world. After that award, through a letter which I had the honor to address to yonr successor, Mr. Spoiler, wo challenged and invited a most rig orous examination by your scientific experts, and it was made to their apparent satisfaction. Wo forwarded all tho information that was then asked, and have never been told that it was insufiicent or that any more was desired. Certainly it seems to us that there is no reason to seek tor more. This pork is clean and whole some and enormously used but nowhere so ranch as by our own people. They are the largest pork-consuming nation in the world, and ret iron the time the disease of trichinosis was first observea down to this day it is be lieved that there have not been in the United States so manyactnal deaths from it altogether as there has been in a single year from strokes ot lightning. SOME STRONG LANGUAGE. There is not an authentic case of the Disease recorded except when the pork was eaten raw. If it were a question of importation among a cation of savages, possibly uhere might be a valid reason for its exclusion, but not in the nation which marched at the bead ot the civili zation of Europe. Relations between governments are best and most enduring when they rest npon a basis of mutual good will and mutual interest. Of the mutual good will in the case ot our countries there is happily no doubt the world has seen more than a century's evidence of it. Bnt I would like to show that the action we cow ask is in the mutual Interest of the two countries; that it is greatly to the benefit of France, and that it is especially to the in terest of the very classes in France for which a wise Government always cherishes the most solicitous care, and to which a republican gov ernment is especially bound. This might seem to tend toward a question able discussion of your domestic affairs. Re lying, however, upon the courteous permission Your Excellency has given us to purine this phase of the question, I beg yon to oelleve that even with this permission I only do so in the firm belief that the tacts demonstrate your in terests and ours to be harmonious and not con flicting. t STATISTICAL INF0EMATIO2T. y In the last year before the prohibition of American pork (lbSO) France imported in all 84722,300 kilos of pork, of which 31,247,300 kilos came" from the United States. As yonr im port; from all other sources has averaged for the past three years just about the tame as it was in ISSO-say in round numbers 4,600,000 kilos per year -. it is plain that you have not made up in duties on this article from other countries what yon have lost in dnties from the United States. That loss at the old rate of duty, and assuming that there would bare been no natural growth in the business a most unlikely supposition would still have been for the past nine years of exclusion in round cumbers .12,250,000 francs. At the present rate of dnty and assuming that the advance was not too great to check importation, even if it did pro vent the natural growth of tho business, your loss has been 2,911,000 francs per annum, or, for the cine years of exclusion in round cumbers, 28,000,000 francs, which we should have paid into yonr Treasury. Rut, considerable as this Item Is. it would appear to be the smallest part of yonr actual loss, for beside you have deprived your French " steamers ot a valuable line ot freight, you hire deprived your grocers and peddlers ttiMfifeout Francs of a tuple tad. ueftl trade, and above all you have deprived yonr people, particularly the poor laboring classes, of a cheap, and highly prized article of food which they ued largely and for which you hare been able to furnish np adequate substi tute. A DEAD LOSS. Statistics of yonr importations and the regu lar quotations of your domestic prices, show that what you shut out from ns you have not supplied from other sources. Surely an abundant and cheap supply of healthful food for the laboring classes is one of the most Im portant essentials for the happiness otipe pie. the growth of its productive energies in competition with neighboring and rival conn tiles, and the development of the national PThese,tthen.aresomeof the things the ex. elusion of American pork has cost France. In return, what good has it done France! Has it helped the national health! There has oeen no more disease from eating porK in Eneland or Beljiuin where the American product Is freely used than in France, where you deprive pourselves of itJHas it helped the French fanner Ho can sell the swine- ne grows for no more now than he could netore the prohibitior.r-not even for as much. " helped the consumer? He can buy French pork no cheaper now than before the proniw tlon. Mr. Beid gives detailed figures in support of his statements, and asking who has been benefited by French decrees, answers: MIDDLEMEN BENEFITED. Only the small class of middlemen who are enabled to exact yet larger profits, in the ab sence of American competition, and of an ade quate domestic supply at the season of scarcity the summer months. Bnt It may be thought. In spite of all this, that a return to the old order of things would now Injure the French farmer. To that sugeestion the current quotation of prices furnishes a striking renly. French switie, with American pork prohibited, are now selling in I'aris for SO centimes to 1 franc, 14c the kilo. English swine with American pork freely admitted are now selling In London for 2s6rt4s2d per eight pounds or KKcSl franc. 87Kc the kilo. Meanwhile the English working classes, and the Belgians as well, competing with you In manufacture for the world, have the advan tage of a UDeral and cheap supply of whole some American meats. It shonld be further noted that there is no real competition be tween the American salted pork and the French fresh pork. They are sold to entirely different classes, and the statistics do not snow that the prire of French pork has at any time been affected by the presence or absence ol the American importation. JfO -WORD OF COMPLAINT. I have ventured upon no word of complaint against your dutv on pork, which in late years you have more than doubled. We fix our own duties, from our own view of the public need, and cannot take exception to your doing the same. But, conslderingthe large advance which yon have already made, yon will allow me to suggest that in our varied experience on this subject it has been found that lower duties Often produce greater revenues than High ones. They permit a liberal importation which an ex cessive duty checks or destroys. Preclselv for that reason our House ol Kepre. sentatives'has now voted to reduce excessive revenues. . ., . In view of the fact that the production of salt pork in France does not meet the demand. ana mat vour revenue is uuw Mwaai , v nnr in tiiia raA hA in Tour interest, any more than in ours, to impose a duly which would check importation from the country which-has the largest supply and can furnish it at the lowest rate. It is hoped that in this case the facts and considerations here set forth may be found sufficient to con vince Your Excellency that the early withdraw al of the existing decree would be an act alike of friendliness of duty and of policy. At the outset I ventured to explain that our peo ple, from their point of view, thought the pro hibition unfriendly and unjust. Will you per mit me to add one more reason why it seems to them to be also from your point of view un wise? You have a product to take one ex ample out ot many more important to France than pork is to the United States. ABOUT FRENCH "WINES. "We import it more largely than you ever im ported our pork. Nobody in the United States says that our pork is diseased, but your own public men have again and again admitted the adulteration of French wines. Never In late years in the Benate of the United States bts such a whisper been heard about our pork, but it is less than a month since the French Senate has been deen delisting a bill to prevent the percentage of sulphates of soda in French wines, which tho French Academy of Medicine pronounced deleterious to health, and in the course of that debate it was openly admitted that other drugs were used, against which it was not so easy to guard. There is a growing and already successful wine industry m the United States. Surely It is .cot wise for French statesmen, by persistence in what onr people think a calumination of our product, to drive American statesmen to listen to French exposure of their own products, and to con elder whether, it France still prefers pronibl bltion to duties, the United States has not greater reason to do the same. Hut X reiue so iuiiow ,114, muuub. uoBuij as we feel the indefensible nature of your de cree we are most anxious to avoid even a sug gestion of possible retaliation. That Is a path not to be entered lightly or without full con sideration of the mutual injuries to which it may lead. The business of diplomacy at any rate is to make trade easier and national rela tions more cordial not to embitter them. We prefer to present the facts and rely upon French good will, French justice, and French sagacity. A MEMENTO OF WAB. The Woman's Belief Corps Has a Compflre With Noted Speakers. Boston, August 15.

Satisfactory Arrnncements Itlnde nt the Philadelphia Me'etlDg. Philadelphia, Pa., Angnst 15. After being in session from 10 o'clock on Thurs day night until 4 o'clock this morning, the Green Glass and Bottle Men's Association reached a conclusion of the vexed questions which have been agitating the trade for some time. The conference was participated in by these manufacturers: William Barker, of Baltimore; Thomas Craven, Salem, N. J.; Joseph Atkinson. Hawley, Pa.; John Bail Eton, Pittsburg; D. O. Cunningham, Pitts burg, and'M. Skelly, Pittsburg. Bepre senticg the Knights of Labor at the con ference were: District Master Workman L. Avincton, of Fostoria, O.; John Will iams, Baltimore; James J. Pennypacfcer, Boversford, Pa.; George A. Kambacfi", Pitts burg; William Doughty, Millville, N. J.; M. J. Gill, Alton, 111. A. settlement was effected on the wages basis and rules and regulations were adopted satisfactory to both parties. On the former question it was de cided to continue the scale of 1888-89 for 1890-91. The question of apprentices was settled by each manufacturer having one appren tice to every 15 journeyman and one extra apprentice to every three-fifths of that num ber of workmen, or two apprentices to every 24 men. All of the manufacturers agreed to these terms, and furthermore promised to resume their blasts in Septem ber. Several firms have not signed these agreements, notably Whitney Brothers, of Woodbury, N. J., and Moore Brothers, of Salem, N. J., as well as several smaller blasts in this State and New Jersey. PEACE IH PEBBY COUflTX Trmiiii Alnrmed the Outlaws, and the Court Is Doing Its Daly. Louisville, August 15. A special let ter to the Courier-Journal from Captain E. H. Gaither, in charge of troops in Hazard, Perry county, says: "There has been no disturbances whatever since court began, nor is there any likelihood of anv. Every outlaw left the place when the troops came, and are not likely to return until the soldiers leave. Before the soldiers came there were lour saloons run openly, and the keepers of these places and their hangers-on were the chief disturbers of the place. "It was a common occurrence for them to defy the officers and shoot through the houses. They compelled the Police Judge to resign, run the County Judge and Sheriff out of town, and run. the thing to suit them selves. They broke up the court last fall, and no doubt burned the Court House this summer. The court, under the protection of the troons. is doing wonderful work. Buck Fagit has been convicted of malicious shooting and given two years in the peni tentiary, and for misdemeanor every man tried has been convicted, and in each case they are given the extent of the law, and in some a little the rise. The grand jury have returned but one murder indictment,,and will return several hundred more. There are 21 soldiers here, rank and file, from Harrodsburg, Lawrenceburg and Franklort, which is ample for all purposes." DEVOTED TO A PICNIC.

The fourth day of the Saengerfestwas distinguished from those preceding, by the substitution of a parade and picnic at the Fair Ground, instead ot the nsual sessions of music In the after noon, however, there was a matinee, also a concert in the evening, with the best of music by the visitors and local singers. The parade in the morning was very imposing, with over 1,000 men in line and over one mile long. In addition to the usual musical sessions at a picnic.of sucb,musical people, there were a great many games indulged in. The most attractive feature, however, was the dancing. This platform was crowded all day, as the dancers kept time to the music that will hardly be heard in this place for many years to come. At dusk, the pleas ant party gradually dissolved, the visitors going to their hotels and homes, while the visiting members and their local brethren met in the evening in strict business session. HAHGED FOB HIS CHIME. A Hegro Who Escaped Lynching: Ends Bis 1,1 fe on the Gnllowi. Botdtowit, "VA., August 15. John Phillips, colored, aged 35, was executed here to-day for the brutal murder of Captain Bobert C. Overby, a prominent citizen of this county. Phillips was a laborer and had to frequently pass Overby's house.. Ho was boisterous, and the captain remonstrated with him. several times for obscene language so near his house. This made Phillips angry, and on the 14th of last April, when Overby remonstrated, he seized a heavy bludgeon, dealt Overby a blow which broke his skull, causing death. Phillips was caught, and carried to Peters burg to prevent lynching. When he was brought here in May for trial he came under military escort, and troops remained on dnty in the court room during the trial. Phillips was brought here last night under military guard to be exe cuted to-day. The drop fell at 1025 and Phillips' neck was broken. He was proba bly the coolest man ever on the gallows. He confessed his guilt and said he was go ing to heaven. The execution was private. AH UGLY PACKAGE TO HAHDLE. A Wildcat Steps Ont of a Box and Attacks the Express Blenienaer. St. Loots, August 15. George A. Tay lor, express messenger on the Alton, had a frightlul experience last night on his run from Kansas City to St Louis. Among the packages entrusted to his care was a box containing two wildcats. One of them got out of the box and" sprang at Taylor. He was unarmed, the train going at the rate of 35 miles an hour and the doors to the car were locked. The messenger picked up a piece ot tarpaulin which he held in front of him, and when the brute sprang at him, its claws became fastened in the -canvass. Taylor kicked the brute loose, but it re turned to the attack again and again. At last be threw the canvassaround the cat and while it was thus imprisoned, he got hold of a coupling pin and beat the beast into in sensibility. THE ALLIANCE APPEALS.

Tracks Upset an Engine, AND KILL THREE MEN 0DTBIGHT. Two Pullman Cars Derailed, bnt Passengers Escape Uninjured. THE PEEPETKAT0ES STILL AT LARGE. Pleasure Seefars Going Bast Hare Their Jy Turned to Borrow. Two engineers and a Pittsburger, who was stealing a ride on the Atlantic express on the Baltimore and Ohio road, were killed in a wreck near Osceola, Thursday night. Bailroad ties were fastened across the track, it is claimed, and the railroad'authorities are searching for the rascals who wrecked the train and placed so many lives in dan ger. There were many miraculous es capes, v The Atlantic express on the Baltimore and Ohio road was wrecked Thursday even ing between Osceola and Elrod, and three men were killed. The victims were En gineer E. J. Sullivan, David Good win, another engineer who was on the locomotive going to Connellsville, and Harry Hershey, who was stealing a ride on the forward car. The passengers, of whom there were 200 on board, principally excursionists bonnd for Atlantic City, were badly shaken up, bnt none were seriously injured. After a few hours' delay another train was fixed up, and they started for the seashore, where they now are. The story of the wreck is simple enough. Some fiends placed seven ties on the track on what is known as the Osceola curve at least, this is where the wreck occurred, though Superintendent Patton believes that the engine picked np the ties two miles back and carried them to the point where the' accident happened. The locomotive was thrown from the track, and Blunged down an embankment 30 feet, crushing Sullivan and Goodwin be neath the ,debris. These two men were frightfully mangled, but death must have been instantaneous. A MIBACTJLOtTS ESCAPE. Fireman Kine was knocked into the air, and he fell into a willow tree and reached the earth not badly injured, He now carries a cane which he cut from it and assists him in limping aronnd. The train consisted of sir sleepers and a baggage car. The engine, when it went over the bank, broke loose from the train, and the baggage car, though derailed, did not follow it. The next two sleepers re mained on the track, but the two middle ones were iorced off the rails by the momen tum of the rear cars, and were thrown over on their sides. The passengers were panic stricken, but were soon extri cated uninjured. The fireman in the tree cried for help, and was assisted to the ground by some of the excursionists. The above is a plain statement of what occurred, and no further information could be given at the Baltimore and Ohio offices yesterday. Superintendent Patton was rlv nn the scene and be is there yet. He has "hired a force of detectives to scour the surrounding territory for the villains who did the work. It was claimed yester day that a train load of ties passed over the road where the accident happened a few hours ocfore, and that some of them fell off, but the officials have no record of such a train. It is a clear case of a deliberate at tempt to wreck the train, and how well the plan succeeded everybody knows. Chief Dispatcher Day said that the men knew their business, and the ties could not have been placed in a more dangerous .place. The engine was almost on the ob struction before it was discovered, and then it was too late. no motive known. Mr. Day and Chief Clerk McElvaine could give no reasons for the mo tives of the scoundrels. It could not have been because some of the Patriotic Sons were supposed to have been on the train, because they did not not decide to go until a few hours before the train's depart ure. Fortunately they were on the second section, composed of day coaches. Mr. Day said that seven tramps, four white men and three blacks, were seen during the day play ing cards nearby, and some think they committed the dastardly deed. They have not been seen since. Engineers Sullivan and Goodwin both live in Connellsville. Arrangements have already been made to bury them this after noon. The stories of the wreck as told by the passengers are thrilling enough, but they are substantially what has been given. Superintendent Patton holds that the ties were carried by the tender of the. engine for two miles or more when the train came to a pileof ciajier near the track. The ends struck the cinder and pushed the ties under the engine forcing it on the track. disposal or the bodies. A telegram received from McKeesport last evening stated that the remains of E. A. Sullivan, the old Baltimore and Ohio engineer, who was killed in the Osceola wreck, and those of David Goodwin, who sat opposite Sullivan when they went to death, were sent to Connellsville, from which place they will be buried to-day. Mr. Sullivan was a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. This organiza tion will take charge of the funeral, and it will take place this afternoon, unless post poned until Sunday, to await the arrival of some friends, who are on the way there. The remains of Harry Hershey, of Pittsburg, who sat on the Iront of the car next the engine, will be buried at Long Bun Saturday. He lived in Allegheny, and was a conductor on the Pleasant Valley Electrio road. He leaves a wife and two children. His mother, Mrs. A. A. Willet, and his brother, Bartley Hershey, reside here, and he was visiting them at the time be was killed. He jumped on the train at the Fifth avenue crossing, in this city, as it pulled out of the depot, and ten minutes afterward he was dad. NO CLEW TET TJNEAETHED. No such name appears in the city direc tory as given by the McKeesport, cor respondent. At the B. & O. telegraph offices they had heard nothing further last evening, and Superintendent Patton had gone home to get some sleep. No clew has been unearthed. Gustave Lindenthal, the civil engineer, was on the train going to Washington. He returned to the city, and went out last even ing. Mr. Lindenthal" was in one ot the cars that turned over. As soon as he got ont, with several other men he walked np to the front of the train. The darkness was in tense, and the engine was not in sight. They wondered what had become of it, when suddenly 200 feet ahead of them the light from the furnace door forced its way through the debris and lighted up the gtfastly scene below them. The tender was lying on the boiler, and the two dead engineers could be plainly seen. A BIG LEASE BECOEDED. The Baltimore and Ohio Company Secures a Loan of 82,000,000. Baltimoee, August 15.

No Postponement on Weather Where This Affliction Vly Account of the Dry Ibe SnOerers From to Avoid If, or Ob- tain Seme Relief. The hay fever season begins this morning and lasts until frost falls. It has been set tled beyond a doubt that this period is its legitimate season. On the 16th of August the pollen of certain plants is so generally distributed in the atmosphere that those in condition to take the malady get it as cer tainly as they allow the seed-laden air to enter their nostrils. A few minntes after 8 o'clock last night Frank C. Calhoun, the undertater, began to sneeze on Grant street, in front of his place of business, and at once remarked to the company assembled that he was in for it until frost came. He then instituted an inquiry as to the time the Katydids began to sing,- and sighed when he fonnd that he was likely to have redness' ol the eyes, whether he tarried long at the wine or no, for some four weeks. Mr. Cal houn says he has regularly gotten a full dose of hay fever on the 16th of August since 1881. and he knows scores of people who get it from the 15th to the 17th ol August, but with him there is no variableness or shadow of turning the sneeze begins late on the 15tb, and is in fnll bloom on the 16th. plies to the mountains. Mr. John Arrass, of Coraopolis, on the arrival of the first sneeze, goes into the Alle gheny Mountains. He says that above a certain altitude he is not molested with the pest, and he makes his yearly outing corre spond with hay fever term. Doo Mont gomery for years utilized the Laurel Bidge, in old "Fayette," for the same purpose, but he says that he at length found a doctor that could knock the fever, and he fonnd the altitude of Mt. Washington sufficient thenceforth. When the rag flower begins to bloom and its pollen permeates the air do the annual and numerous victims of hay fever com mence to sneeze and experience all the tor ments of the disease for the allotted period. The ennons connection between the bloom ing of this flower and the pecnliar ailment has often been noted, and many physicians claim that it is caused by the pollen ot this plant getting into the nasal passages and irritating the mucous membrane. They' do not say why all are affected alike, but then there are a great many questions in this world that fools may ask and" wise men can't answer. It is not a scientific disenssion of causes that interests the sufferer at the present time, but how to get relief from the fever, the sore eyes, the flitting headache and the discharging nostrils. The victims are recommended to keep high altitudes and wooded districts, where the air is pure and free from dust. The fine dust of a city Is wonderfully irritating to the delicate and inflamed mucous membrane, and" it only aggravates the disease. The symptoms be gin to show at the same time each year, and the disease becomes worse every season. It makes its appearance, usually between the 1st and 15th of August, and generally lasts abont three weeks. Misery loves company, and in some places the sufferers from hay fever have organized clubs, and they seek a more desirable climate about this time of the year. A HAT PETEE TOWN. Topinabee, on Mullet Lake, near Mack inac, is known as the hay lever town, be cause it was started by a colony of viotims. Diligent inquiry failed to reveal any hay fever clubs in Pittsbnrg, but there are any number of sufferers here. "Where do they go?" was a question put to Division Passenger Agent Smith, of the Baltimore and Ohio road, yesterday. "Well," he replied, "I am a victim and you see where I am.

Every year my attack is worse than the one in the year previous, and this season I have suffered severely, On our line many go to Deer Park, Mount ain Lake and Oakland. The mountains or places of high altitude are the best. Some take in the seashore, and claim that the salt cleans out their nostrils and helps them. It does not benefit others; and that is the differ ence between some people." General Passenger Agent Clark, of the Lake Erie, said he never had the disease, bnt he noticed that most sufferers went to Petoskey, Indian river, in Northern Michi gan, the Mackinac Islands, Lake Chautau qua, the lakes and woods of Canada, and Topinabee.

The movement of freight is still greatly retarded owing to a lack of men to handle it properly. New Yobk, August 15. Pinkerton is still recruiting men to guard the property of the New York Central road, and hisrecruit ing office at 61 Broadway, was well filled this morning with applicants who came in response to the advertisement for men for special duty. Every applicant is personally examined by Bob Pinkerton. As the men gather in the ante-room on the fourth floor, which is presided over by abo w-legged Scotch man, Pinkerton comes out and "sizes up" the crowd. Then he picks out a desirable looking applicant and, conducting him to Boom 48, interrogates him as to his under standing of the duties required of him. The successful applicant must be at least 5 feet 8 inches tall, and men of robust build are preferred. The pay is 515 a week, with board and lodging while on active duty, and half pay when not actively engaged. MEBELT FOB POLICE DUTY. Looking his man in the eye, Pinkerton asks: "Have you got any idea what you are employed 'for?" Then he informs him that it is not for detective dnty that he is hired, but simply to act as a policeman under the direction of a captain; he is to see that the tracks are cleared, and "if they ain't cleared, you know what to do." The applicant is then required to fill out a blank, stating where and when he was last employed; if he was dismissed, the cause; and whether he belongs to any labor or political organization. After signing a contract accepting the terms offered, he is placed among the accepted recruits, and another candidate is interrogated. Fully 50 recruits were engaged. They were taken in a roundabout way to the rear of the Grand Central depot. The destina tion ol this company was "West Albany. They were a tongh looking lot of men that would make a bad fight if they got into a conflict. pdtkebton's advice. Before starting them from 61 Broadway Pinkerton made an address in which he said that they wonld receive their equip ments when they arrived at their destina tion. "Now. yon are not sent ont to kill people," he said, "but if your lives are in danger you know what to do. You must not go out expecting a picnic, because there will be hard work and long hours. You'll hardly be able to get boarding honses, bnt we'll feed you and take care of you. Obey the orders ot your captain and youll get your pay." One of the men engaged yesterday was formerly "bouncer" in a faro bank, and the whole crowd looked as thongh they would not hesitate at any undertakings A dispatch from Albany says: The after noon showed no apparent change in the situation of the strike. The men gave no signs of yielding, and became but slightly excited about 330 o'clock when it was stated that an-alleged "spotter" had been sent among them to note their movements and report to the company. No such indi vidual was to be fonnd, and the truth of the statement is doubted. ENCOURAGING THE STBIKEBS. The strikers devour the contents of each new bulletin with marked eagerness. Two additional bulletins posted late to-day by the strikers read: The situation is still improving. Beports from all Dolnts Indicate that the greatest en thusiasm" prevails.

Leonard, confidential clerk to C. M. Blssell. were engaged in throwing switches and attempting to make np trains. They are, as must be expected, doing very poor work. So much for the expert switchmen hired at Chicago to handle the West Albany yardl Beports received from other points show a similar condition of affairs, tbey demon strating beyond a shadow of a donbt that the freight blockade is as far as ever from being raised, as Mr. Webb would have the public be lieve. From present indications it Is certain that the force employed Is utterly Incompetent to put things in anyway near the old shape. The old employes can and do feel certain that the present force cannot do the work. The salaries ot the above force run from f 100 to S2&1 per month as against $52 50 paid the regular switenmen.

The Executive Board of Locomotive Firemen that has been in session at TJtica for the past two days adjourned to-night, and the delegates have returnedito their homes. The meeting of the Executive Board consisted of 14 delegates, representing the 14 lodges com prising the New York Central district. These 14 delegates represent over 700 fire men in the employ of the New York Central road. The delegate from the Syracuse lodge re turned from TJtica to-night, and talked quite f reelv of what was done at the meet ing. He said the meeting, thoneh protracted, was one of harmony, and that all were agreed upon matters of any importance. The meeting, he said, had been called to discuss the advisability of striking. Nu merous speeches were made, both in favor ot striking and against. "When the matter was finally put to a vote it was to stand by the constitution of the order, and not to strike unless a strike was ordered by a higher authority. They concluded that tbey themselves had no grievances but what, could be amicably settled with the company without the ex pense of a strike. WABASH SWITCHMEN 8TRTKK.

Gllmore nnd Ills Band Made tho Analrlan Open His Eyes. Hew York Herald. It has been a characteristic of Austrian and German mnslcians to ignore the exis tence of great exponents of the art in other countries particularly so of American musicians. Germans, however, who occa sionally get this way have had their eyes opened. Herr Strauss, the leader of the the Austrian Imperial Court Orchestra, is the latest foreigner to have his eyes opened. When Herr Strauss came over with his orchestra, a combination of his and Gil more's musicians was arranged as an at traction. The Austrian leader and the American leader happened to be staying at the same hotel in Washington, and the visitor wanted to see Patrick Sarsfieid Gilmore. On the morning after the arrival Herr Strauss sent word to Mr. Gilmore that he was "ready to receive Mr. Gilmore." The republican bandmaster was not accustomed to Imperial ways, and happened to be a late riser that morning. "Oh! tell him I'm in bed," replied the American, as he stretched himself. As Gilmore was in his bath there came again the same formal message. "All right," said P. S. G. "Tell him III see him in a minute." In his dressing gown Gilmore swept through the hall and entered the presence of the distinguished Austrian, who was deco rated for the purpose, and wore among other things the grand cross of something or other. Herr Strauss put his hands on the shoulders of Mr. Gilmore, just in the man ner in which kings and emperors embrace each other. Bnt the stalwart American seized the little Austrian in his arms and fairly hugged him. As they each speak French well, they got along excellently. Bnt the surprise remained for the opening performance at the Opera House. Gil more's band was arranged behind the Strauss orchestra. There was a large and brilliant andience present Strauss played three pieces and was encored each time. He was a success at the very beginning. Then Gilmore's turn came, and he played the Tannhanser overture. Strauss' men looked around. What! A military band tackle such music and in the presence of the finest stringed orchestra in the world! Butthey were generons enongh to display their ap preciation as they had shown their surprise at the artistic and wonderful way the Wag nerian music was handled. The audience applauded loudly. Then Gilmore struck up the "American Patriot." As he gave new life and color to the simple national airs the andience was wild with delight The next piece of Gil more's fairly startled the Anttrian. It was nothing" less than the famous "Pizzicato Polka" of Edward Strauss. The delicacy, the finish, the perfect time and the thorough mastery of the beautiful composition fairly took the breath away from the foreign musicians. Their leader's eyes were wide open listen ing to his brother's best polka played by a military band. At a little distance the clarionets sonnded in certain passages like violins. The applause was deafening and the Austrians joined in. THE HEAT LIOHTKIHG. It Is Only a Reflection of Chnla Lightning; From Below the Horlzan. Washington Post. "Look at the heat lightning over in the west It will be cooler to-night" The above remark was overheard by an elderly naval officer. "Pardon me, bnt yon are mistaken," said the naval man; "there is no- snch thing as heat lightning in contradistinction to chain lightning, which accompanies a storm. By the term 'heat lightning,' so frequently and incorrectly used, people refer to the sheet-like flashes which they see off in the distance, usually near the horizon, and which are so far away that no thunder can be heard. "Now, the fact of the matter is," con tinned this well-informed old seaman, "what they really see is simply a reflection in the clouds or sky of the regular chain lightning attending a local storm miles and miles away. Very often, on a sultry night, yon will notice three flashes, or rather their reflection, in several different directions. This is because there are thnnder storms in progress all about us. The distance from which the reflection of these flashes can be seen depends largely upon the condition of the atmosphere. When it is well saturated with moisture, these reflections, which ap pear as 'sheet lightning,' so called, are visible many miles, and ' if you are snf- i ficiently near yon would hear the report and soon become convinced that there is no sucn thing as 'heat lightning' unaccompanied by thnnder."

Vice President Bryan's assertion yesterday, that a happy solntion of the World's Fair problem might be reaohed within 2l hours, caused the curiosity of a great many people to-- v night He said to a Dispatch representa tive by way of explanation: "I meant1 that further examination is to be made of Jackson Park and the result of it will be to' show that enough of it is available there to enable the directors to use it." ' - "I think you may sa," he added, "that' the original recommendation made by the local board to the National Commission will be persisted in." When asked if that meant that the local' board would recommend the use of the Lake Front as well as Jackson Park, Mr. Bryan said that he would not like to express an opinion on that point or say anything mora' definite than he had said already. to rnrAixr settle it. He said that the engineers wonld make a thorough examination of all the sites and' make a complete and elaborate report at the' adjonrned meeting of the directors on next Tuesday night, and he believed that the site ' ?uestion would at that time be definitely and, avorably settled. A plat of the survey made of Jackson Park by Engineer Olm steadfor last Tuesday night's meeting hangs in the directors' room. According to its,' showing Jackson Park will yield only 112' acres of floor space, although it is over 600 acres in extent. From the total acres must first be deducted abont one-fourth lor the part now improved, l which the Park Commissioners stubbornly -refuse to permit the World's Fair people to' use. Then Mr. Oimstead's drawing shows, a svstem of drainage of the balance of the, park which is so contrived as to make the greater part of the space not available at all on account of its peculiar shape. A CHANGE OP SYSTEM. Mr. Bryan, when he spoke of getting more space for building, probably hoped to' secure the adoption of a different system of drainage. By ditching the land when dry, ' wonld be in snch form that it could all 6a; utilized, and perhaps also the nse of the im-j proved portion of the park conld be secured. J From another official of the board it was I learned to-nisht that a careful examinations has been made to-day by the engineers off the site adjoining Garfield Psrk in that West Side, nnd of an inland site on the Chi- j cago and Northwestern Bailway, and still) another site on the Sheridan drive on the. Lake Shore, just north of the city limits. '. The site last relerred to lies near and' sonth of the suburb of Argyle, contains; about 600 acres and is not quite! six miles from the City Hall. Itl is reached directly only by the NorthsideJ ' cable line, and is on the line of the pro posed Chicago and Lake Shore Electrio Bailway, in which George Westinghonse, of Pittsburg, is interested, and the Chicago,, Milwaukee and St Pan, and Chicago and Northwestern Bailways pass so near it that tbey conld readily construct switches to the grounds. The land is 19 feet above the' lake. POSSIBLY THE PLACE. "Whichever site is chosen," said this offi cial, "must be on the lake. The bulk of the visitors will not be satisfied with any inland site, and it Jackson Park is not available the site near Argyle must be chosen. The Chicago papers have discussed every other site more than this, bnt it is very seriously considered nevertheless." MHfTKQ FOB DIAMONDS. How the Work Is Done at the Great Kim barly Mine In Africa. New York Star.l The most important diamond mines in South Africa, and in the world, are at Kim berly, a town of about 25,000 people, the large majority of whom are Kaffirs. Here, instead of being found like placer gold, in the water of a river, they are hard points in a soft bine limestone called bluegiound. The mines cover a space not over five miles in circumference on the border of the town,, surrounded by a low fence and closely gnarded by armed police, clothed in gar ments exactly the color of the soil, who are ordered to shoot all trespassers. The space within the fence has been surveyed by the Colonial Government, and divided into sec tions, 20 feet square, each of which consti- -tntes a claim, the worker of which pays at' royalty to the Government Shaits are sunk with the utmost mathe- matical exactness, some ol them 650 feet -deep, and the dirt is brought out in small cars attached to a cable and run in trucks j to the drying grounds, which are some miles away and several square miles in ex tent. Each truck load 16 cubic feet, or about a ton of blue earth conceals on an. average Xi carats ot diamond, ranging in valne from 35 shillings sixpence to 20 a carat The workingmeu are Kaffirs and Zulus, with a white armed overseer to every six men. The ground goes into the washing ma chine the primitive "cradle" on a large and perfected scale the working of which depends on the fact that the high speoifio gravity of the diamond makes it behave dif ferently from other stones nnder the joint action of centrifugal force and gravitations. Spnn ronnd in perforated cylinders and pans under a whirlpool of water, the bulk of the ground flows off in "tailings" of gray mud. The residue of stones of divers sorts and sizes is then jogged abont with mora water in the "pulsator," which is a huge framework of graduated sieves which sort the stones into several sizes. After the pulsator there remains the "dry sorting" on a table, by hands both black: and white, all under lynx-eyed surveillance, the valueless pebbles being swept off with a bit of tin and the diamonds being dropped into a sort of locked poor box, until finally the coveted hoard, all scrutinized, classified and valued, lies on the office table of the com pany, on its way to their safes. There is not mnch loss rom robbery, bnt sometimes a Kaffir swallows a diamond while at work, bnt if detected, or even suspected, a power ful emetic, which he is forced to take, will reveal his secret CLAH-HA-GAEL CELEBBATI0KS.
