A num- ber of recommendations were agreed upon, which will be submitted to Postmaster General Wanamaker for bis approval Some of these recommendations are as follows: That the free delivery service be extended to include towns of 5,000 population and £5,000 postal revenues per annum; that a carrier or other employe be detailed ot appointed to perform service as an assistant superintendent, whose duty it shall be to supervise the work of carriers while on their routes in order to see that they do not loiter or otherwize waste or improperly employ their time; to see that the several carriers’ routesare well served, and to recommend changes from time to time ir the carriers’ districte as circum- stances may require. The importance iv suggested of rating up, wherever practicable, the salaries of the lower grade clerks and employes, so as to recognize in a substantial way the merits of this most deserving class of hard-working employes, Extension of hours for business with the general public recommended in the interest of the great mass of citizens who are now in large part debarred from the privileges of the money order system on account of the post offic: being closed before their day's work is over. ‘The postal note system ix recommended to be modified by the issuance of money orders in lieu thereof for the same price charged for postal notes of equal amount.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Will Mr. Stevens please give us his reason for designating in his plan of the “bathing beach” a special place for the colored folks, as he calls them? If the beach 1s to be a public place why not open it alike to all respectable persons’ Why should there bea separate “Jim Crow” pool? If this idea of Mr. Stevens’ is good one why not ask the government to du- Plicate its public buildings and packs vo that each race may havo its own to visity It is bad enough when private individuals discriminate against us, but it will be far worse when the best government under the sun assumes such an attitude against its citizens whohave fought, bled and died to savo it from an untimely death, At present the black and white boys go hand in hand along the shores, they are friendly with each other, they eat the friendly pi take a friendly smoke (of course this emoke do not indorse), they finally take » friendly bath in the grand historic Potomac. Nobody ishurt by this. The boys enjoy this, color fades away, it is with them a mere bubble, and should some one come along and bring up the color question as a reproach the white boy will lay down his life for his colored friend and so will the other for his white friend. Now, why should Mr. Stevens ask the government tomake & swan pool aud aJim Crow pool to separate these buppy friends? No, Mr. Btevens, you had better let the color point alone.

He has been the champion ad- Vocate of ahigh protective tariff in Kansas, In 1888 he sent over to England and purchased a ready-made suit of clothes for purposes of comparison in his speeches. He stumped the |stute for the republican ticket, wrote a tariff which was the campaign band-book, and wrote the tariff editorinls tor the Topeka Daily Capital, the leading republican organ of the state. I mention these facts toshow thut he accomplished about all the veforms he started for in the detent of Ingalls, and that it will not be dificult for him te get back into the republican party. He knew he ouldn't | beat Ingalls in the republican party, hence he joined with Polk and Livingston in the people's movement, persuaded the democrats te go in with them and accomplished bis object He realizes that the people's party will never again poll over balf the votes it did in 1890, andhaving five yeurs to adjust himself will get in line an drop dack into the republican party. KANSAS FOR BLAINE. {n Kansas the sentiment among republicans is almost unanimous for Blaine for President He will have the support of the Kansas delega- tion unless he positively declines the nomina- tion. ‘The combined efforts of the federal office holdego cannot prerept it, No, fault is found with President Harrison. On the other hand, is administration is regarded as the cleanest, and ablest since Lincoln's. But the people want Elaine, and his nomination will ‘add 20,000 votes to the republican ticket in this state. ' With Blaine the republicans could feat the combined opposition with hands down. Without him they might have a hard fight. HILL SENTIMENT GROWING. ‘The sentiment for Hill is growing in Kansas. Recently several leading democratic newspa- pers have raised his name, and the prospect for a lively contest between the Hill and Cleveland followers ig very bright. Six months ago Cleveland was the choice of nino-tenths of the democrats of Kansas, but today it is difficult to determine which faction is the stronger. All conventions will be held early and the campaign will be the most vigorous in the his- tory of the state. ee RUNAWAY FREIGHT CARS ‘They Break Away From a Train and Wreck Several Marquette Homes. A queer accident happened near Marquette, Mich.,yesterday toaheavily loaded freight train. When near the top of & heavy grade the train parted and the rear section thundered toward the city atahigh rate of speed. At Division street one car jumped the track and crashed into John Srowl's house, some distance from the rails, Mr. and Mrs. Crowl were in bed when the car came upon the house, which was badly wrecked. The shock threw them out of their bed and severely injured them. Another car and the caboose caught fireand also jumped the track while blazing furiously. They brought up against the residence of Alexander Emer- son, setting it, together with an adjoining dwelling, on fire. ‘The occupants escaped in their night clothes. Conductor Doran and a brakeman had @ narrow escape from instant death, saving themselves only by jumping. A few other cars of the train were also wrecked, and the loss, it is ostimated, will reach about + ——_+ee. —____ WORLD'S FAIR EXHIBITS. An Effort to Have Them Regulated by the Boards. Thirty-one state world’s fair organizations were represented in the convention called to meet yesterday in Chicago with the board of control, the department chiefs and the direc- tors of the exposition. Fully 150 people were present, about half of them being women dele- Bates from the state boards. Delegate Graves of Wisconsin introduced the following: “Resolved, That it is the sonse of this confer- ence that all applications for space from ex- hibitors residing in the United States bo made to the several state boards direct and by them forwarded to the director general, and that no allotment of space to individual or Since acces ‘approval o m wi - tion is filed.” ee From indications it will give rise to a liv diecussion. The director genoral’s report was read and the board went into executive session to dis- cuss the Graves resolution. Oneof the mem- bers said at the close of the session that while they wanted the co-operation of the state or- ganizations and were inclined to confer some power on them they would not consent to such broad division of the eontrol over ex- hibits as the Graves resolution contemplated. estan tha deci Protested Innocence Despite the Verdict. ‘The case of Patrick Boyle, charged with the murder of John Muench near the town of Namooki, Ill, Ancust 12 last, was concluded yesterday in the Madison county cirouit court at Edwardsville, IL, the jury brioging in « The resolution was laid over until po iy verdict of guilty, affixing the <leath penalty. fen fects a stolid in ference aa to his fate, but stoutly maintains his innocence. aes ‘War on Winter Kacing at Chicago.

Industrial Association Formed to Estab- | Watching the Course of the Alliance Con-| 4 Town Set in the Midst of High Moun- taine Mr. Juan Alveres, who has just returned to the City of Mexico, says « correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, from an exploring ex- pedition in the southwost part of the republic, reports that he has found a city which has ‘mever been entered by white men and which has evidently been in existence for hundreds of years, going back before the time of the von- quest of the country by the Spaniards. It is an old Aztec city, and the approaches to it are so guarded by nature that by is an im- ity to reach it, if the inhabitants do not want the traveler to get in. The city lies in the almost inoccessible mountains, in the region of the country lying in the extreme southwest ern part of ihe country, aud is #0 far away from civilizaticn that few white men have over been in the neighborhood. It was by the purest accident that Alverez became aware that a city was anywhere in the vicinity and, after he found it, all of his en- deavors to reach it were unavailing on account of the persistent opposition of the uatives. Hi had been traveling over the mountains search of an outlet to the Pacific ocean when he caine to the top cf an elevated plateau and crossed to the frather edge, He bad « magnifi- cent view and while looking over the country saw what he took to be houses in a far distant valley. Aclose inspection with @ glass soon convinced him that what saw was really @ collection of houses and he at once set about reaching the place to sce who lived in that part Of the country, TRE BAGGED AFPROACE. After days of bard work, climbing over cliffs ang mountains, be reached a place from which he obtuined a good view of the city and saw that it was regularly laid out in streets and was led with arace who knew something about tion. The houses were of stone and were surrounded by yards, in which were grow- ing flowers and shrubs, On ali sides were evi- dences of taste shown by the inhabitants and it was evident that he had founda city which was ; Rot known to the outside world. A careful p | examination of tii country showed him ithat the city was within a natural ampbithe- ater, and was accossibie from one side ouly. He ‘saw that the only means of access was through a long and narrow deiile which led into the mountains trom the Pacific coast side, and he started to reach the place where he could tind this entrance. He made an outline draw- ing of the city as it appeared to him from the distant mountain top, and this is ali he has to show that there is a city within the heart of the mountains, for he was never allowed to reach the spot. 4 WELL-BUILT TOWN. From this drawing it is plain that the city ‘has not less than 4,00 inhabitants. Ihe houses are all of stone and are suppliod with doors and windows, In the centot was a large build- ing, which was undoubtedly the temple of wor- ship, for on its walle could be seen sculptured designs representing the Deity. It was in the shapo of the ancient teocallies, which are to be found in many parte of this country, and the people could be seen passing in and out daring all hours of the day. After ten days of arduous work Aiverez found himrelf at the foot of the mountains on fhe western slope and set about searching for the canon leading to the city. He had so well marked the lay of the land that he had no difi- culty in finding the entrance, but he was met by « band of Indians who refused to let him ‘They offered him no violence, but insisted that ho should return.
