Secretary Herbert Expected to Fol- low the Practice of His Predecessers. It is confidently expected that Secretary Herbert in his annual report to Congress will follow the almost unbroken practice of his predecessors and strongly recommend the prompt establishment of a number of coaling stations in different parts of the world, especially at points near the east and west coasts of the western continent. Our present facilities of this kind are lim- ited to a small place off the coast of Lower ifornia and what may yet be a coaling station at Samoa. Under a treaty with the Hawatlan Islands the United States govern- ment is allowed land on Pearl river for a coal station, but so far no steps have ever been taken’ toward locating it. Congress has appropriated over $200,000 for the sta- tion and the money is available for use, but pending the settlement of the recent troubles no surveys have been made and the matter has been allowed to drop tem- porarily. Naval officers more than others appreciate the necessity of these tslands for a station and insist it should be es- tablished without undue delay. City Post 0} Contracts, Mr. Kemper, acting supervising architect of the treasury, informed a Star reporter today, in response to an inquiry on the subject, that no action will be taken until Architect O'Rourke returns to the city, in the matter of the contract for the steel and iron work of the basement and first story of the Washington post office building. There is not much doubt, however, that the con- tract will be awarded to Mr. John Pierce of New York at his bid of $57,700. His was the lowest bid received by the Treasury Depart- ment, and was $5,000 less than the next low- est bid and nearly $8,000 less than the bid of C. A. Schneider & Sons, the only local firm that put in a bid. What makes Mr. Pierce's chances good for the contract is the fact that he 1s already under contract with the Treasury Department for the stone and brick work of the building at a cost of about $800,000. ‘This would seem to establish his standing and his competency to perform the less expensive work. Architect O'Rourke, who is now in Chicago, wiil return to Wash- ington next week and the iron and steel contract will be ready for his action. o——————— Naval Orders. Lieut. Joseph Beale has been ordered to the Vermont; Chaplain D. H. ‘Trion to the New York; Lieut. D. P. Menefee has been detached from the navy yard, League I land, and ordered to the Adams; Lieut. A. G. Berry has been granted leave of absence for six months with permission to leave the United States. ° To pect Buildings. Mr. H. G. Jacobs, formerly chief clerk of the architect's office, Treasury Depart- ment, left here this afternoon for the pur- se of Inspecting the public butidings on The Pacific coast, a duty assigned to bin some time ago. = = Will Not Accept Checks. Internal revenue collectors throughout the country, for self protection, have adopted a rule for the present of not receiving checks in payment for internal revenue stamps and collections, This course has been taken because the various United States sub-treasuries have refused to credit the accounts of the collectors with checks. Under the law collectors of Internal reve- nue are responsible for all the stamps plac- ed in their custody and a large bond Is ex- acted of them. Naturally they have to be extremely careful in their financial trans- actions. <—__—_—_—, Fourth-Class Postmasters. The total number of fourth-class post- masters appointed today was 113, of which thirty-six were to fill vacancies caused by resignations and death. ——-< The Binghamton Post Office Case. Mr. Chas. B. Sanders, who was recently dismissed from his position as chief of let- ter carriers in the post office of Bing- hamton, N. ¥., had an interview this morning with the officers of the Post Office Department. He made certain charges against the head of the Binghamton post ice and asked that he (Sanders) be rein- stated. The officials told Mr. Sanders they were not inclined to take any action in the matter unless he made formal written charges and established a prima facie case. Mr. Sanders left for home this morning, stating that he would comply with the re- quirements of the department. peas te RE The Essex to Be Retired. The old corvette Essex after many years of usefulness in all parts of the world ts about to be placed on the retired list. Ac- cording to present plans she will soon leave the Norfolk navy yard for Newport to take the place of the Franklin as the receiving ship of that station, and it is not Mkely that she will ever leave there again. The Franklin is going to Philadelphia to relie the St. Louis, which ts decaying rapidly and will soon be brokten up for old wood.

Death - Dealing Grade Crossings Along the Pennsylvania B. B. REPORT OF THE INSPECTORS Life is Continually Endangered Along the Line, They Say. ALTERATIONS RECOMMENDED. Some time ago the Engineer Commissioner instructed the general inspector of the en- gineer department to examine into the mat- ter of the steam railroads within the elty. General Inspector Beggs took with him Jn- spector L. P. Bradshaw, and the two made @ thorough and searching inquiry into the matter. During July they reported upon the B. and 0. railroad. This morning they submitted their report on the B. and P. rail- road. It is a lengthy and valuable paper, and should be read carefully by every one who Is interested in the welfare of the city and the safety of the citizens. The report says that the system of grade crossings renders the probability of acct- dent so great as to be a constant menace to the safety of the community. It {s not in the authority of the inspectors, however, to do away with the system, and, finding things as they are, they recommend a num- ber of valuable changes and improvements which they think will better the situation, at least until such time as grade crossings in a large city are relegated to things of the past. ‘The report in full is as follows: The Report. Capt. Charles F. Powell, Engineer Commis- sioner, District of Columbia, Bir: In accordance with your instructions directing an examination of the steam rail- roads I have the honor to transmit # re- port on the Baltimore and Potomac road, which completes the scope of the examina- tion as ordered. After an inspection of this entire line I find the tracks throughout and the cross ings at street intersections, with few ex- ceptions, to be in good condition, also safety fates at all street crossings along the line yperated by watchmen both and night, ex at llth, 12th, 13th and 13 1-2 streets southwest, where gatemen are mationed from 6 a. m. until 8 p. m. The fact, however, that this road passes Tatunreaseee 2 Eras = GES FP pe Ee to be a constant menace to the safety of the community. In the absence, therefore, of a more ef- fective provision inst accident the pub- He necessity would seem to demand that those means already adopted should be used to the best ible advantage, and that such autions should be taken to pro- tect the traveling public as the exigency of the case requires. I, therefore, submit for your approval the following recommendations as necessary to meet the present requirements of the pub- Uc safety and convenience: Recommendations. ‘The extension of the planking at the east end of the 6th street southeast crossing meet fence post in the center of the tracks at that point. This will admit of a foot- walk across the tracks, which are now bare, to the platforms on either side. The solid planking of the 6th street south- east crossing to include the sidewalks of 6th street, which {s improved to this point. Also, to the planking of the switch leading into the navy yard from the main tracks at this point. Under the tracks at this crossing are two pipe drains through which the water passes that flows down 5th street, immediately north of which and adjacent to the tracks are two dangerous openings, which should be protected with Pl ing. New Jersey Avenue Crossing. I desire especially to call your attention to the dangerous character of this crossing and the necessity for better protection to traffic passengers . There are thirteen continuous tracks crossing New Jersey avenue at this point, in addition to the switches leading to the storage tracks of freight and passenger cars West of the crossing. “Thewe tracks are con- tinually occupied by shifting engines and moving trains, which ts a dangerous feature in itself, but ‘the exceptional width of the crossing’ and the storage of cars adjacent to the main tracks in the yards to the west, which sometimes amount to trains in quan- tity, render it even more so, since it is with difficulty that the watchmen from their sta- tions are able to observe the approach of trains coming from the west. Especially is this the case with respect to the watchman im attendance upon the south gates. Hence there is great danger of persons being ad- mitted upon the tracks through ignorance of the approach of trains. , Another objectionable feature of this crossing is that foot passengers and ve- hicles are compelled to pass through the north gates over the same roadway, thus subjecting persons on foot to the additional danger of being run over in this way, since there is always more or less hurry to get over the crossing. In view of this condi- tion of affairs I regard this as one of the most dangerous crossings of its kind, and would suggest, as tending to lessen the Habliity of accident at this point, the fol- wing: ‘The stationing of a flagman in the center of the crossing for the purpose of regulat- ing the passage of vehicles and warning the gatemen as to the approach of trains. The continuation of the planking to in- clude the east sidewalk of New Jersey ave- nue and the attachment of a side arm to the wate at the northeast corner of th crossing. This, .though necessitating a change of location of the watch box and the removal of some District material, such as old sewer pipe, which will then be in the line of travel, ‘will provide a way for foot passengers. In addition to the above recommendations with respect to crossings I would add t repair of the planking of the East Gouth Capitol streets and the Maryland avenue crossings at 6th street as necessary. Fenein; ‘With respect to the fencing of this road }é would recommend {ts resumption and con- tinuation ‘between the following points, which will inclose the tracks throughout when complete: Resuming where the fencing ceases be- tween 2d and 8d streets southeast. Its continuation on both sides of the tracks to the east gate posts of the 20 street crossing. North of the tracks here is the District’ of Columbia property yard and south of them is an unimproved territory consisting of public reservations. Its continuation on both sides of the tracks from the west gate posts of the 24 street crossing to the east gate posts of the I street crossing. North of the tracks here is the District of Columbia property yard and south of them is unimproved private property, which is now being brought to e. its continuation north of the tracks from the west edge of the planking of the I street crossing to the foot walk of the New Jersey avenue crossing if lald as suggested. Adjacent te the tracks here is t) strict of Columbia property yard also. Its continuation north of the tracks from the west gate post of New Jersey avenue to the east gate post of East South Capitol street crossing. Adjacent to the tracks here 1s an Improved public reservation. South of the tracks from the west gate post of New Jersey avenue as the north, side of I Street, to join the fence south of and in- closing thé round house of railroad coms pany. This will prevent ingress to the property of the railroad company by quisitlve or careless persons and at the same time protect the main tracks, Its continuation on both sides of the tracks from the west gate posts of the 6th street crossing, Virginia avenue, to the east gate posts of the 7th street crossing, Vir- ginta avenue. In this connection, inasmuch as I am in doubt as to who 1s responsible, I would in- vite attention to the necessity of the repair of the granite block paving between the tracks where the cable and steam lines Intersect on the 7th street Virginia avenue orgs to that portion of the track passti As to that portion of the tracks through the reservation between Tth'an Oth streets I would recommend the following (Continued on Fifth Page.) MAJOR BELL'SPENSION.|THE FIGHT RAGES|WHAT !S THE MATTER? WIIL BF DETAINED, He Drew One, but Gave It Up Voluntarily. His Letter to the Commissioner Sur- rendering His Certificates and the Indorsement Thereen. Deputy Commissioner Bell of the pension bureau has been rigorous tn his demands for the enforcement of the recent decision of the Secretary of the Interior about pension- ers under the act of June 27, 1890, who are drawing pensions amounting to the limit allowed for total disability but are not dis- abied. It now appears that Major Bell was drawing a pension of $12 per month for “loss of teeth and disease of heart,” but when the secretary's decision was issued that @ man cannot draw $12 per month under that act unless he is totally disabled, Major Bell promptly resigned his pension. He would not continue to perform the ardu- ous duties of deputy commissioner of pen- sions and draw a pension which belongs only to a man totally disabled. But Maj. Bell ts so modest that the know!- edge of the good example which he set has Just come to light, and the public would not have known of his worthy action had not a wicked newspaper man routed out the case, determined that Major Bell should no longer hide his light under a bushel. He is prob- ably convinced now that it is a violation of the spirit of the law to draw $l2 under the act of June 2, 189, if not totally disabled, but he looks at the matter in the new light of Secretary Smith's decision, While he was drawing his $12 per month he was laboring under the construction put upon the law by Commisyioner Raum. Under that construc- tion Major Bell thought It all right to draw the pension, but when the ht of Secretary Smith's decision was turned upon the matter he saw things differently and immediately dropped from the rolls, not even waiting to advantage of the sixty days’ grace allowed other pensoiners in the same category. Mr. Bell's Letter. Major Bell's action in the premises is ex- plained by the following letter: WASHINGTON, D. C., May 81, 189%. Hon. William Lochren, commissioner of sir: On the 24 of Febi 1292, : On of February, was FFenied & pension under the act of June 1990, at the rate of $12 per month for loss of teeth disease of heart.” The Washington, D.

Well, you need not shoot; I'll come down’ The coon has concluded to come down.” Examiners Assigned. Controller Eckels has directed Bank Ex- aminer Carskaden to take charge of the failed First National Bank of Birming- ham, Ala.; Examiner Rushing of the failed El Paso, Tex., National Bank, and Ex- aminer Thom of the failed Waupaca, Wis., County National Bank. The statement Rublished thet the First National Bank of fampe, Idaho, had failed is a there being no such national bank. —__—_-e- —__ Imported Tobacco to Be Closely Ex- amined. Heretofore it has been the custom to examine every tenth bale of imported tobacco to determine the grade, so as to Properly assess the rate of duty. Loss to the revenue has resulted from this method, and now Acting Secretary Curtis has directed that not legs than an average of every fourth bale of imported tobacco be examined. This closer examination is mainly directed against fraudulent impor. ions of Sumatra wrapping tobacco, duty on which is $ per pound. New Gauge for Imported Iron. ‘The Treasury Department under author- ity of an act of Congress of March 3, 1893, has established a standard gauge for the measurement of imported sheet fron and steel, discarding all gauges previously used, which are objectionable on account of lack of uniformity. The instruments, which are in the form of callipers, will be distributed to the several ports, and it Is expected that the new @, which was pre} under the, ston of the United States Coast an jetic_ Survey, generally adopted for commerctal purposes. Hard Case on a Philadelphia Wine Importer. A lot of wine in a bonded warehouse in Philadelphia, which had been housed for moro than three years, was recently sold at auction by the government for its tax. ‘The price obtained simply paid the tax, and now the warehouse owner asks that the government pay him for three any storage charges. Acting Secretary holding that te only the original owner of has declined to do so, The Treasury Appeals. remedy is against the wine. The Treasury Department is advised that the United States Circuit Court for the | da’ southern district of New York has decided that absolute alcohol {s a scientific prepara- ton and entitled to free entry. Phin de- sion is oppos all treasury rulings, and an appeal has been taken from it - ‘Treasury Decisions as to Soiled Wools Acting Secretary Curtis, in laying down & rule for ascertaining the dutiable value of soiled wools, adopted the principle inid down by the boardof general appraisers that “while the original value cannot be obtain- ed with absolute accuracy, yet experts in the business are able to approxitnate the values so closely that for practical purposes the estimates of numbers will substantially ree.” ‘his decision is applicable to all soiled wools, irrespective of invoice value. —____.._ Gunboat Bennington.

Mr. Cummings Says He Will Fight Mr. Turner. MR. YODER AND OHIO. An intense interest in the contest over the oorkeepership and the sergeant-at-arms of the House has suddenly developed this morning. These contests are talked of to the exclusion of nearly all other topics. Tariff and the silver question do not enter into competition for the time being. There are all sorts of rumors of combinations and plans of the candidates who are striving for Place. Those of the Ohio delegation who are here have been trying all day to come to an agreement on a candidate for the place of sergeant-at-arms. It appears that Mr. Yoder has a majority of the delegation, but that some of the members of the dele- gation who are opposing him are not dis- posed to support him under any conditions. One or two of them,’and maybe more, are said to be willing to support anyone else the delegation may decide on except Yoder. Yoder having a majority, however, his friends are trying to whip the opposi- tion into line. One member of the telegu- tion, who has not been heretofore a sup- porter of Yoder’s, but now expresses a de- termination to vote for him, told a Star re- porter this afternoon that he believed that before night all the trouble would be set- tled and the entire delegation would xive Yoder their support. The friction in the ‘Ohio delegation, however, gives Mr. Snow, the Iilinvis candidate, increased confidence and his friends are Ww: with all their might and with great professions of coad- dence in his behalt. A but two or three of the lilinoig delegation are now here and are working for Snow, and his friends claim for him that he is making south and has a very the northwest. The Doorkeepership. The greatest fight is over the doorkeeper- ship. From reports about this morning the stock of Mr. Turner, the doorkeeper of the last House, has declined considerably. Mr. Cummings of New York, who arrived last night, declares very openly that Turner cannot get the support of the New York delegation, and that he and five or six other men from New York are not more anxious for anything than for tho defeat of Turner, ‘Me. Cummings’ first ol is to defeat Turner, and he appears to be willing to vote for most any man from the south who can do this. His melinations are to- ward Hurt, but he 1s willing to support either Hurt or Smith, as it is understood, In order to win the fight, The chances aré that he will support Hurt, This talk coming from a New York mem- ber hae had a decided effect upon mem- bers generally, and there is a very wide im- pression that it will be disastrous to Ture ner. Mr. Turner himself said to a Star re- porter today that he knew Mr. Cummings was opposed to him, but that he did not believe that the oppesition extended to other members of e delegation. There are some he fs a little uncertain about, but he believes that they will be for him. He did not know whether there would be a conference of the New York men, but thonght there would be. This state of af- fairs as to Turner's canvass has made the fight red hot between Hurt and Smith.

Between now and tomorrow morning an immense amount of work will be done on doth sides, and it will then be pretty well known who can win. With the disaffected New York vote out of consideration tt is believed that Smith has most strength, and has good material out of which to construct the doorkeepership for himself. But if the New York vote or any considerable num- der of votes go to Mr. Hurt it will be very apt to give him the election, The fight Detween those two men will probably be settled right at this point, and whichever one can get the support, either active o1 passive, of those New York people who will Rot support Turner, will” probably be elected. There ts no doubt that Hurt’s canvass has been very much benefited by the friendly disposition which Cummings shows toward him. It ts not yet known whether there will be enough New York men in town tonight for the conference, nor {s it known whether either the Mississippi or Tennessee delega- tions will meet and formally indorse Mr. Hurt. ‘The Texas delegation have not all arrived yet, but it is understood that they will be ‘solid for Smith with possibly o exception, and that uncertain. ‘There {s al most an infinite number of candidates in th field for the chaplaincy, but all the candl- dates are conducting their canvass sub rosa, and there has not appeared yet any definite organization in favor of any one.

Two Dark Horses. ‘The plain statement made this morning by Representative Cummings that he would not support Mr. Turner for the doorkeeper- ship caused the greatest amount of gossip at the Capitol this morning. There sevms to be a very general belief that Mr. Turner will have Very little backing among the members from his state, and it is not at all unilkely that New York will go into the caucus without any candidate for the door- keepership. Though Tom Coakley has announced that he will not have the place, {t 1s belleved that should the New York members decide to agree upon him he would be willing to make the fight. Another New Yorker who ta trying hard to gain enough friends to enter the fight, and who an- nounces that he has a strong ee, is Felix McCloskey. The members of the New York delegation who were seen at the Capi- tol this morning were non-committaland it seemed to be every one for himself. They did not think that there would be any meet- ing of the delegation to decide on a candi- e. ‘There is a prospect of a very bitter fight against Yoder by members of the Ohio dele- tion, It is intimated that there may be four of the Ohio members who will openly oppose Yoder in the democratic caucus and cast their votes for anyone to defeat him. ‘The republicans will hold a caucus at 8 o'clock Saturday evening in the House Judi- clary committee room, and the populist members of the House will hold a caucus in room No. 300, National Hotel, at 8 o'clock Saturday. ae THE REPORT HERE. Mimiater Blount’s Correspondence is All at the State Department. ‘The final report of Minister Blount is now fn the hands of the President, having reached here several days ago, in the last mail from Honolulu.

Representative J. C. Burrows of Michigan, ‘one of the most prominent members of the House on the republican side, arrived in the city late last night. He ts not bere to boom his candidacy for the Speakership, which Jerry Simpson so kindly launched without consulting Mr. Burrows, on the plan that the silver men and populists would com- bine to defeat Mr. Crisp, a scheme which quickly fell to the ground so soon as the story reached the ears of the gentleman from Michigan, who promptly declared his unwillingness to accept the kincnass which ‘Mr. Simpson desired to thrust upon him. “There seems to be no division of senti- ment in my section of the country,” he said to a Star reporter this morning, “regarding the a@tion that Congress should take on the Sherman law. They all agree that the pur- chase clause should be repealed, and it should be. The great trouble at present is that we do not know what is the matter with us. We will not know until Monday or whenever the President's message is for- warded to Congress, and then, no doubt, Mr. Cleveland will elucidate the whole question, tell us exactly where all the trouble lies and set forth the remedy. “The only question then is whether a ma- fority of the members of Congress coincide with the views of the chief executive. If the purchase of silver is the cause of all the disaster and distress which has come to this country since the democrats began to guide the government reins and Mr. Cleve- land recommends that this portion of the law should be repealed, there should be no trouble in doing so at once.

NO EVIDENCE OF CHOLERA ON BOARD, Dr. Jenkins Feels Warranted ws Taking Precautions. THE MAILS FROM ITALY. NEW YORK, Aug. 4—Dr. Tallmadge of the quarantine board of health boarded the steamship Keramania this morning and hesceetet the passengers. All on board are wel The Karamana arrived at quarantine yesterday after a long voyage from the cholera-infected port of Naples. During the voyage three passengers died. ana were buried at sea. As the ship's surgeon aid not specify the disease from which the passengers died the vessel was held for fumigation and disinfection. The suspicion Prevailed that the disease was Asiatic cholera, but nothing definite could be learn- ed last night. After inspecting the passengers this morning the health officer ordered the sransfer boats to take them to the islands in the bay, where they will be detained until“ all doubts of existence of cholera are removed. Dr. Jenkins says that while he can find no evidence that there has been cholera on board he deems the circumstances suif- ciently suspicious to hold the vessel. On the Karamanta. ~ In appearance the Karamania is not a very attractive vessel. She has the out- ward aspect of a tramp steamer, and Is, in fact, @ Mediterranean fruiter during the season. She is built of tron, {s 3,148 tons cross measurement and rigged as a schooner. She Was built in 18 and is Mttle better than « floating oven with « lack of both light and ‘ventilation. 2 In this vessel nearly five hundred souls spent twenty-one days of warm weathar, cramped for room and breathing foul air. ‘The Mails From Italy. ‘The fears of some people that the clerks im the post office who handle the mails from Italy and those to whom the mail is addressed are Hable to spread cholera in this country were set at rest by Assistant Postmaster Gaylor, who said, in the course of an interview this morning: “Al mails Italy addressed to this country are followed overland to Havre, where they are disinfected ani brought to this coun:ry by the steamers of the French line. We never recetve any mails by tramp Steamers from Italian ports. The New York office hag received no instructions from Washington in reference to mails from Italy. “During the plague last year Dr. Jen- kins took extra precautions and although the matis had been disinfected in France they were again put through the same course at quarantine. I have never heard of any contagious disease being transnit- ted through the matis in this country.” The first death on the steamer Kara- manta, as reported by Consul Sprague ut Gibraltar, ts given as “congestion of thi lungs,” probably diagnosed such by the ship's surgeon. The other two cases had cramps, diarrhoea and vomiting. ‘The surgeon reported a sailor as having Giarrhoea yesterday, but investization de- veloped the fact that he had been working | in the hold, became overheated and drank large quantities of water. He was weil on inspection. The name of the steamer’s doctor ts Jas. Todd. He is an Englisman and hes been in the East India service. Dr. Jenkins’ Statement. Dr. Jenkins dictated the following to the representative of the United Press this afternoon: “We have not had an oppor- tunity to see the cases, as they died and were buried at sea, but many of the symptoms of the last two cases resemble cholera, and ff it did not we would cer- tainly not hold the ship.

WORLD'S FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, Aug. 4—Theodore Thomas is in the mood to resign his position of musical director at the exposition and there are potent ‘n‘lu+ ences at work to bring about his resigna+ tion. It 1s said that the orchestra lealer has asked the committee on Liberal arte, which has charge of the exposition musig, to relieve him for several reasous, but Mr, Thomas will not say if he has resigned. ‘The commitiee on liberal arts is composed of Mr. Thomas’ stanch friends, who will not allow him to sever his connection with the fair without a fight. The old trouble about the musical @irec« tors’ preferences in the piano line and tie consequent clash with Director General Davis has much to do with aggravating the tuation. Mr. Thomas’ chief complaint is vouchers for his increased salary are fai in the office of Col. Davis and President Higinbotham, who demur to them on the ground that Mr. Thomas’ is an extravagant one and the original of %,00 a year agreed upon between the directory and the leader is en con. Sn unprotiiabie and costiy iuxury, table and cos! y. “\r. ‘Thomas bas taken the eriticiem of his musical work at the fair and the bureay much to heart. The economic business men on the directory want to with the services of Mr. Thomas or split up the Gitterent ‘parts of the park, but’ the ‘con= different of the . - Guctor wonld ‘not listen to this scheme. The orchestra is his creation and the musicians would foflow him out of the fair grounds if he should resign to seek fields more lucra~ tive and where he would be sppreciated ore. "The visitors evidently do not want to see Mr. Thomas or the Chicago orchestra leave the fair, for the harsher or more exten- sive the criticism the larger is the attend: ance at the popular orchestral concerts. But the objection of the directors is thet while the orchestra always has a big au- @ience and the concerts are an artistic success they do not alone bring people the fair in any appreciable numbers. ——— A POST OFFICE ROBBER CAUGHT, Alexander France, a Kentucky Des- perado, Ran Down.
