F THE INTERNATIONAL AMER- N CONFERENCE. ‘The President sent to the Senate yesterday a letter inviting the attention of the Senate and House to the following recommendations of the internaticnai American conference: “A uniform system of customs regulations for the classification and valuation of imported mer- chandise; a uniform nomenclature for the de- scription of articles of merchandise imported and exported, and the establishment at Wash- ington of an international bureau of informa- tion. The congress also at its final session de- cided to establish in the city of Washington, as a fitting memorial of meeting, a Latin- American library, to be formed by contribu- tions from the several nations of historical, geographical and literary works, maps, manu- scripts and official documents relating to the history and civilization of America, and ex- pressed a desire that the government of the United States should provide a suitable build- ing for the shelter of such library and to be solemnly dedicated upon the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America.” Ac- companying the letter is a communication from the Secretary of State setting forth the importance of the recommendations. He de- Yotes a great deal of space to the recommenda- tions as to the establishment of a uniform system of customs regulations. LABOR INVESTIGATIO: The House committee on labor yesterday au- thorized a favorable report on the resolution introduced in the House by Mr. Mason of IIli- nois authorizing the committee to select from its number a subcommitiee of five members to take evidence at such places as it may deter- mine during the present session or during the recess of this Congress in regard to the estab- lishment of eight hours as a day’s work and in regard to the operation and enforcement of the eight-hour federa! law, and also as to the advisability of establishing a minimum rate of wages to >) paid laborers in the employ of the governme at; and for such purpose the com- Mittee or any subcommittee thereof is author- ized to send for persons and papers and em- ploy a stenographer to take testimony. A re- port of the testimony taken, together with such recommendations as the committee may deem proper to make, is to be made at the com- Mmencement of the next session of Congress. ‘The resolution appropriates $5,000 to defray the expenses of the committee in taking testi- mony, &c.

Each article mcy contain one or more of the suggestions, as the contest- ant may elect. provided all the points are com- prehended in the six articles comprising the series, No reflections are to be made on any of our cotemporaries beyond that implied in the fact of their enjoying only a fraction of Tux Stan's Circulation, bs The contestants must reside in Washington Of in one of the suburbs of Washington.

Address all inquiries and communications Felgting to this contest to Editor Advertising Contest. The points required to be covered are: 1. The average circulation of Tue Sta . for the first three months of 1890 was 33,236, this being more than trebie that of any other Wash- ington newspaper. 2 Tue Sram hasa larger and fuller circula- tion in the city where printed, in proportion to Yeading and purchasing population, than anf other newspaper in tke world. It is essentially abome paper, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, particu- larly by the purchasing portion of the commu- nity, being the marked characteristic of the Paper. to which no other daily jourual now published can furnish « parallel. 3. The value of advertising is in direct pro- Portion to the circulation of the paper, con- sidering the character of its readers, Weighed in this balance Tux Stan is one of the cheap- est advertising mediums in the United States, and far cheaper than any other Washington Paper. 4 That an advertisement running for three Months or over with one change a month costs aout 45; cents a line an insertion or less than one-seventh of a cent per line in each thousand papers. 5. Asworn statement of the circulation of ‘Tux Srax for the preceding week is published eack Monday, and its press and circulation Fooms are open to the public and ite circula- tion books may be inspected by any one having an interest in their examination. 6.

Thurman Says That They are for Public Use and Enjoyment. THE GOVERNMENT COMMITS A BREACH OF TRUST IN PERMITTING RAILROADS TO OCCUPY THEM— THE RED BANDANA SHAKEN IN THE FACE OF GREEDY CORPORATIONS. , In the Senate in 1872 Allen G, Thur- man said, speaking of the land proposed to be given to railroads: “It is a part of that property known as the mall, It isa part of that property which was set apart and dedi- cated as a park in the very origin of the city, in the very plan of the city; and now I wish to call the attention of the Senate to a fact which involves the good faith of the nation. The original proprietors of a large portion of the land on which Washington is situated did not demand that they should have pay for all the land they sold. On the contrary a gave about one-half their property to ‘the United States without any | ype at all, and then they provided further that in respect to certain other lots they might be sold and the money go to the government of the United States; in other words that it should be a money dona- tion. They gave thus a donation not only of land but of money, and that donation amounts, as well as I can gather from the acts upon the subject, to more than one-half of the property owned. That is what they did. “Upon the faith of what did they do it? Upon the faith of the government that it would maintain the seat of government here accord- ing to the plan of the city, which had been ap- proved by Gen. Washington. They could not do it otherwise. They gave by lots the very lots marked on that plan. aud the consideration that they expected was the advanced value of the lots that they retained. Enhanced by what? Enhanced by the existence of a city upon the plan that had been adopted and upon no other. By no other means could the value of the lots they retained be enhanced. It was, therefore, a part of the consideration upon which they granted their property to the United States and granted the proceeds of other property which they authorized to be sold and the proceeds paid into the Treasury that the plan of the city should remain intact. Otherwise the lots which they retained would not be benefited. The whole value to them might be destroyed if the dedication made by | the plan of the city could be violated and the public grounds could be taken away and given to private individuals or to private companies. “Sir, I hold in my hand an act of the state of Maryland. recognizing these grants and con- firming them, and it shows this most extra- ordinary thing, too. The state of Maryland went so far as not only to confirm the grants made by persons capable of making the grants, but to procure precisely the same thing to be done where the land was held by married wo- men, by minors, or by insane persons, In other words the state of Maryland absolutely condemned one-half the property which be- longed to married women who were not sui juris, and to infants, and to insane persons, and gave it to the government of the United States upon the same conditions that this city as platted and planned and approved by the President of the United States should be the capital of the United States. “Now, sir, in the face of these grants, in face of the consideration that you received, in face of the plighted faith of the nation, it’ is pre- tended that you can take the only public park in the city, the only thing that can be made into a public park, that you can cut it up and | give it toa private railroad corporation. Sir, if you can do that you can give them this Capi- oe the heart, but that with xt is merely sordid wealth; that is the sole consideration by which th know that rit. are moved. I well; and it is not, therefore, to them that I look, but it is to you, Senators, who have charge of this great city, which be- longs to the public, over which you have abso- lute and exclusive powers of legislation. It is for you to say whether the design of the city shall be marred in this manner. * * * RAILROADS SEIZE PARKS NOWHERE BUT IN WASHINGTON. “* © © T put it tomy traveled friend from Nevada, What do you think the French people would say if it were proposed to take the gar- den of the Tuileries for ilroad depot?

AND O. STOCK, Offer Made in New York for the Balti- more City Holdings. From the Baltimore Sun. A formal offer for the purchase at par of the 32,500 shares of Baltimore and Ohio railroad stock held by the city of Baltimore has been made tothe finance commissioners and de- clined. The offer came through Mr. Edward R. Bacon of New York, the president of the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern Railroad Company, who represented the syndicate of capitalists recently formed for the purchase of this stock. The meeting of the finance board was held atnoon yesterday, Mayor Davidson, Enoch Pratt and W. W. Spence, the three commis- sioners, being present. The bid of Mr. Bacon, which was dated from the Mount Vernon Hotel, was submitted. ‘The proposition states that if accepted the money will be paid on or toi for adepot. * * * You forced the Baiti- more and Ohio Railroad Company off Pennsyl- vania avenue. You made it remove its depot | and go back from the avenue. You would not | kave a railroad depot on the avenue, and you | forced that company off the avenue.’ Now, you are to allow this company to come up sub- | stantially to the avenne, if you are to allow it to cut up the public park and destroy it, how can you refuse to do the sume for the Balti- more and Ohio Company? Howcan you refuse to do it for the southern companies which are to come into this city? How can you refuse to do it for any railroad company? “Oh, Mr. President, how beautifal this park lies for the convenience of these railroad com- panies! How beautiful it lies, right in the center of the city, and how much they would thank you ifabandoning all ideas of duty. scorning all esthetic thoughts as unworthy of a practical people. you were just to agree to surrender all public property trom the Capitol to the White House in order that it might be converted into railroad depots! That would suit this practical age, that would suit the prac- tical man, that would suit a man who thinke that mankind were made to live for no other purpose in the world than to build railroads and put money in the pockets of the stock- holders! * * * Is the Senate prepared to do any such thing as that? If you are not, if you intend to hold the scales of justice, per- fectly even and firmly balanced between these two railroad companies, if you allow one of them to set upon this park you must allow every other one to do it; and then instead of having before this Capitol and before the presidential mansion in this city a park that will ornament the city, that will contribute not only to the pleasure of its inhabitants, but con- tribute to the pleasure of every man, woman and child in the republic who comes here, and which will contribute to the health of the vity, you will have before you a vast railroad depot, or A SERIES OF RAILROAD DEPOTS PROM HERE TO THE WHITE HOUSE. * * * And now, Mr. President, since the idea of those who laid out this city has some prospect of realization, since its ‘magnificent distances’ are no longer the subject of ridicule, since its wide avenues are a boast instead of a scoff and a scorn, since its public grounds are to be improved and beautified—and we all want to see them improved and beautified—it does seem to me that anything that mars the original design of the city ought to be dis- countenanced by us. This city was not laid | out by hazard. Its streets were not cow paths, It was laid out by the line and the plummet, it was laid out by the engineer, it was laid out with design. Everything in ‘the plan of it was the subject of mature consideration by both the engineer who laid it out and by the sound intellect of George Washington, who approved the plan, himself no mean engineer, no mean designer of any great work of the kind; and a part of that design was that from the Capitol to the White House, from the hall in which the Representative: and Senators should sit to the Exccutive | Mansion, there should stretch a beautiful park. Itis a part of the design, just as the square opposite the President's house was devoted to the public park—just as Judiciary Square. just as Lafayette Square, just as Lincoln Square, just as Franklin Square were all de- voted ‘to this purpose—so was this greater piece of ground, from Capitol Hill to the Ex- ecutive Mansion, designed to be a beautiful park, an ornament to the city and contributin fo its health. We who have it marred and spoiled by the miserable canal that was suf- fered to go into decay have no idea of what it was before it was thus marred. We have no idea of how beautiful it was when it was in its uo tive condition and of how beautiful it may yot be when that nuisance shall have been re- moved. Now it is proposed to break up the original design of this city; now itis proposed that what was intended to be the most beautiful feature in the whole city shall be abandoned to business, to commerce, to depots for railroads, | and that instead of that which should please the eye and gratify the taste and swell the heurt as you stand on Capitol Hill and look to the west, or stand at the Executive Mansion and look to the east, thatshall be yielded up to the hum and dirt and confusion and noise of railroad depots and all the ordinary busi- ness of the city. Why, sir, it does seem to me that if there is apything that shall shock the mind in considering a sabject of this kind it is just precisely such a proposition, I know it is of no use to reason in this way with men who have no thought in the world but the making of money. I know it is of no use to reason in this way to a railroad corporation. I know thatif it would facilitate the busi- uess of the railroad company some one would have the impudence to demand this Capitol itself for its offices. I know that there is nothing so sacred that they will uot lay their hands upon it. I know that they have gone through the most beautiful ceme- tery in Ohio and condemned the very graves in ‘which the dead were buried for railroad purposes. I know it full well, and when I say Dit anus say it in enmity to any such im- provement. No man isso absurd as to be an enemy of railrouds, But I know that they have no respect for anything that merely gratifics | sale. before July 1, and that the purchasers will | execute a formal contract and give satisfactory security for the faithful performance of their part of the agreement. After the adjournment of the board Mr. | Spence said that there was but little hesitation on the part of the board in refusing the pro- osition, as all were of opinion the price was insufficient. He was unable to say whether or not the matter would end with the refusal of this first offer, but in his opinion if the syndi- cate were earnest in their desire to secure the stock they would make a moro liberal offer. ‘That the offer should come through an official high in the councils of Baltimore and Ohio Company was significant, as it indicates that the syndicate Mr. Bacon represents is close to the present administration of the company and includes financiers who have faith in the future earning capacity of the Baltimore and Ohio road. + Mr. Pratt said the price was out of propor- tion to the intrinsic value of the stock. He was not willing to face the harsh criti that he knew any such action on the part of the board would have been subjected to by the people of the city. Mr. Pratt reiterated his opinion that the stock was cheap at $125. He said that a director in his bank had com- mended the action of the commissioners in refusing the bid, and had said that the syndi- cate would yet offer 125 for the city’s hold- ings. Mr. Pratt says he bought Baltimore and Ohio stock at $29 and sold it for $150, and also sold some as high as $206. The road had crip- pled itself in building the Philadelphia and New York extension, but this had not detracted from the value of the property. The stock was worth more than par, and so long as he remained in the finance board more than par must be bid before we would consent to the city parting with its holdings, Mr. John Gill, president of the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Company. said that asa matter of policy he thought the city should have accepted the bid. It was not a question of receiving the last farthing for the stock, but a question of policy that is to be considered. The fact that a short while ago Baltimore and Ohio stock was down to $45 seemed to have been lost sight of entirely. If the city and road wero both to be benefitted by a segrega- tion of interests a fair market price for the stock was a fair offer for the city’s holdings. Mr. Edward R. Bacon. the principal in the deal, said he had heard ot the refusal of his offer, but he did not know that this was final, as his proposition was addressed to the mayor and council, Mr. Bacon said that his offer had been made after careful consideration by the syndicate of which he is a member, that it was all they thought the stock was worth, and was the last bid that would come from them. The stock, he said, was a minority holding. and in the present status of affairs was almost useless to any person who was not in close accord and sympathy with the Baltimore and Ohio road. The news of the rejection by the finance commissioners of the ‘syndicate proposition made by Mr. Bacon, to buy the Taltimare and Ohio common stock atpar had a marked effect upon the dealings at the afternooweall of the stock exchange. ‘The sales at 101 aggregated 439 shares in lots, and then it dropped to 100, at which 500 shares were sold. setae aoe Don’t Far tomorrow, Baum’s star sale, ——— FOUND DEAD IN HER ROOM.
