W., ®AYS FOUR PER CENT INTEREST ON SAVINGS ACCOU Go and Ginen eee en ae ‘The Cable Cars. ‘To the Eiiitor of The Evening Star: ‘There is in plain sight, and on dozens of our streets, a daily rebuke to the belief that common sense guides in the affairs of men. This visible confutation of the spirit of faith which inheres in the crass optimism of the average citizen, takes the shape of @ big thing that runs. It runs smooth and fast, scuttling uphill and downhill with equal speed, swinging round corners like mad, and never stopping without making a rattle and a bang of it, a labor and a groan. And then how merrily it leaps forward to take the road again! Sailing down a crowd- ed street, and rarely even moderating its speed, for it cannot do even this much with- out a deal of trouble and a straining of its back. This animal is created and vitalized by man, and yet a single glance at the structure of its jaws will show that it feeds upon the flesh of men. The upper jaw :e- mains fixed, about two feet above the ground, the throat extends back about three feet and fs fitted with a series of mandibles which work together, and revolve and clutch and crush and grind their prey. On a sun- ny day, when the streets are full of people, the purpose of the creature is as express and clear as the purpose of the tiger when it sights its enemy, man, in the jungle. It then aj that the upper jaw is placed at a_height carefully designed to so strike its prey as to throw it down at once and gather it underneath itself, and then pro- ceed to munch it with its nippers and in- cisors, before hurrying it on to be fed to its vitals. No cannibal ever loved a little child as this civilized monster. It likes to sweep into a crowd of them, like a torrid blast among flowers. The edge of its upper jaw being just above the center of gravity of a child, a child must go down before it. After this it Is easy work to toss the bundle on to the gustatory task of the fauces, with their steel and oak bars and wheels, meant for the luscious savoring of the soft bones of such prey. Men stand in wonder at the sight of this animal, and are so tickled at their creation of it as not to realize that they have not yet learned to control its movements with a sure and prompt hand. Its speed and its transporting capacity have made them overlook what it costs to feed it. Their common sense fs forgotten in their rage to go quickly from place to place. Why the creators of this machine should not render its movements harmless by a Mittle less speed, and more especially by covering {ts cavernous maw with a project- ing frame or network, or “cowcatcher” of some kind, so that, if a human being be careless enough to be struck by it, he might at least be shoveled off its track instead of being tuc ed In under its jaw, is a question I would like some one to answer.

EMINENT FINANCIERS IN ATTENDANCE Address This Afternoon by Mr. Balfour. MANY LETTERS OF REGRET LONDON, May 2.—The international bi- metallic congress, convened under the aus- Pices of the Bimetallic League, was called to order at 11 o'clock this morning in the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion House, the lord mayor, the Right Hon. George R. Tyler, presiding. The proceedings opened with an address by the ex-lord mayor, Evans, after which Prof. Shield Nicholson read a paper on “The fall in the general level of prices in relation to the appreciation of gold and the divergence in the relative value of gold and silver.” During the afternoon the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, the conservative leader in the house of commons, will make an address, which will be followed by a paper by Mr. Leonard Courtenay, M. P., on “The practi- cability of maintaining a ratio between gold and silver under an international bi- metallic agreement;” this will be followed by a discussion. A banquet will be given this evening to the English and foreign members of the conference. Prominent Delegates. There were about 400 delegates present this morning, among them being Mr. Brooks Adams of Boston, Mass.; the president of the Bank of the Netherlands of Amsterdam, M. Van Denberg; M. Henri Cernuschi of Paris, president of the French Bimetallic League; Mr. David Murray, president of the South Australian Bim ic. League; Mr. Thomas Salt, late president of the Bankers’ Institute; Sir Malcomb Frazer, agent gen- eral in London for western Australia; the Right Hon. W. Lidderdale, ex-governor of the Bank of Eng many members The object of the Bimetallic League is to urge upon the British government the necessity of co-operating with other leading nations for the establishment of the free coinage of gold and silver at a fixed ratio. . Henry W. that if the government of Great Britain is willing to suggest a practical plan look- ing to the use of both gold allver as money on some ratio to be fixed by inter- national agreement, the government of the United States will co-operate and as- sist in every possible way in carrying out such a plan. Letters, Also among the letters of regret was one from Archbishop Walsh of Dublin. The archbishop said that he was specially glad to see the conference discuss that aspect of the case in which Ireland was most deeply concerned, namely, the ruinous ef- fects of the present artificiality creating a dearth of money upon husbandry and its interests. Concerning the currency question gener- ally, the archbishop remarked in his let- ter: “I can only say that the experience since a year ago will but serve to deepen the conviction of the irresistible strength of the cause of international bimetallism. The practical failure of the recent ex- perimental tampering with the currency of India ought surely to be sufficient to finally check any further development of the disastrous doctrinal policy which so long held ground in England.” The governor of the Bank of France, M. Magnin, also sent a letter applauding the conference and saying: “The silver ques- tion imposes itself more every day upon financiers. The whole world -equires its solution in its general interest. It is inti- mately bound up in the commercial and industrial prosperity of all nations. I am @ resolute partisan of the rehabilitation of silver.” Prof. Francis A. Walker wrote “applaud- ing the gallant, gaining fight for the res- toration of silver to its historical place in the currency of the world which the Bimetallic League is making." Prof. Andrews of Brown University of Providence, R. I., wrote: “Our cause is making rapid progress, and we are cer- tainly succeeding.” During the discussion which followed the reading of Prof. Nicholson’s paper, Dr. Arendt, a member of the Prussian diet, declared that bimetallism was making PI in Germany, and he thought that if an international conference was held now, it would have very different results from the Brussels conference. Mr. Balfour Friendly to Silver. The feature of the conference was the speech of the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour, the conservative leader in the house of com- mons, this afternoon. Mr. Balfour, who was received with loud cheers, said that many who were syspicious of the double a = heer gemeeeny ee tem now recogn: in view of great im- pending dangers, that the best safeguard is to rehabilitate silver as one of the great in- struments of the monetary transactions of the world. Continuing, Mr. Balfour said that it was absolutely necessary that the monetary functions of silver should be restored if business was to be carried on upon a solid basis. The bgp ee - brah tenes agreement, the 5; er ins! were mere- ly as to the details, and if any question should be settled by an international agree- ment, surely this one should be so settled. Mr. Balfour claimed that the action of the United States had forced the Indian and British governments into the system now prevailing, adding: “We ought to enter into an agreement with the countries of the world for a bi- metallic joint standard. The solution of the problem is easier now than it will be five years hence. Great responsibility rests on those who — a os —— selfish isolation in great question, Mr. Leonard Courtenay, M. P., followed, contending that an international fixed rate was practicable, if based upon the normal production of gold and silver. . SUPPOSED TO BE A BOMB. A Mysterious-Looking Affair Found in London. LONDON, May 2.—A supposed bomb was found this morning at the entrance of the recruiting office, Spring Gardens, in this city.

The fire is supposed to have been of incendiary origin. The destruction was complete. Three of the engines had pit been purchased and were valued at 000 each, while the value of the other two was estimated at about $5,000 each. The value of the passenger coaches is placed at $10,000. The loss on the freight cars, with their contents, is also about $10,000, The shops have been fired several times before, but each time were saved. Three or four murders have occurred in the shops and one of the previous fires was for the Purpose, it was supposed, of hiding one of these murders.

WILD WESTERN TALK A Kansas Official Predicts a Wide- spread Uprising. RESULT OF THE COXEY AGITATION News of the Various Marching Detachments. —— GEN. MILES AND THE ARMY TOPEKA, Kan. May 2.—Secretary of State Osborne said today relative to the ar- rest of Coxey and Browne: “I want to make this prediction: There will be no overt acts until the next election. Then, simul- taneous with the returns, flames will shoot up into the air from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and every palatial residence wilf be destroyed in this uprising of the people. Woe unto them who have sought to stay this tide of the past six months. “The farmers are preparing for this; they are selling a horse or a cow and buying winchesters, and many mechanics are doing the same.” CHICAGO, May 2.—Gen. Miles, in an in- terview, says that as far as he knows no orders have been issued by the War De- partment or army regarding the “commoen- wealers” who are marching to Washington from different parts of the compass. “It is unfortunate,” said he, “that these men, whatever may be their condition or their sufferings, have adopted the name ‘army.’ There is only one army in this country. All American citizens have the right to petition Congress, but it is unfor- tunate that they have adopted the plan of organ: men into companies, giving some of them titles to which they have no right, and organizing jo military courts to try offenders. this savors of a menace toward Congress, and tends to create prejudice against their cause in Con- gress and among the people in general.” OMAHA, Neb., May 2—A one to the Bee from Lincoln, Neb., says: The superin- tendent of the Burlington railroad has of- fered employment to all members of Col. Duff's company of the industrial army, Sixteen accepted the offer and were given transportation to Montana. They will work on an extension of the road and will be paid $1.40 per day. Efforts are being made to organize an army in Omaha. About 300 men have agreed to march to Washington.

Coming From Mississippi. OXFORD, Miss., May 2—A detachment of Coxey’s army, or at least they said they were on their way to join Coxey, passed through Oxford yesterday. They were on the tops of trains. The trains were de- layed here some time, during which time some of the men slipped over to the Uni- versity of Mississippi, entered the rooms of some of the young men while they were absent and stole their clothing. This is the second company has passed through here. —>——_ GOOD NOW IF GOOD AT ALL. Gov. Werts on a Bill Postponing Re- form. TRENTON, N. J., May 2—Gov. Werts sent to the senate this morning his veto of the Newark and Jersey City board of works bill. The bill merely legislates out of office members of the existing street and water beards for the purpose of enabling -the mayors of the respective cities to appoint others in their stead. These last appointees are to continue in office during the term of the mayor appointing them, which means for two years in Newark and three years in Jersey City. After that they are to be elective. The only present result is the substitution of one set of appointed officials for another appointed set. The change of system permitting “home rule” is deferred for two and three years in the tive cities. The only apparent reason for that Provision is the desire to immediately change the party complexion of the boards and prevent the people from expressing their approval or disapproval of such action for periods of two and three years. If the people should elect, at the expira- tion of those periods, there can be no good reason why they should not elect at the | Th next regular election or sooner, is the governor’s conclusion, Senator Perkins (dem.) of Burlington made a sensation this morning by voting with the republicans for the passage, over the governor’s veto, of the bill abolishing = —— of Rr gd Trenton, Paterson and Camden. e was despite the governor’s objection. eee —_—_.

The cause of his death was an organic af- fection of the liver. —>____ HEALTH OF THE DISTRICN. 4 Slight Increase in the Number of Last Week. Dr, Hammett in his weekly review for the week past reports the condition of the pub- lc health to be favorable. Although there was a elight increase in the number of deaths, the death rate still runs below the annual average. There was a decrease of one in the cases of pneumonia, while the deaths from consumption reached nineteen; those from kidney complaints seven, and the unusual number of seven fatal cases from cancers. Infant mortality was at the normal, and as yet there are no indications of the advent of summer complaints. Taking into consideration the limited ex- tent of the mortality and the preponderance of chronic cases, especially among the aged, compared with the abeyance of the malarial and contagious diseases, the outlook prom- ises a low death rate for the immediate future. The statistics are as follows: Number of deaths, 120; white, 69; colored, 51. Death rate per 1,000 per annum: white, 18.4; colored, 28.4. Total population, 21.9. Thirty-nine were under five years of age, 80 were under one year old and 25 over 60 years. Twenty-three of the deaths occurred in_ hospitals and public institutions. The deaths by classes were as follows: Zymotic, 15; constitutional, 30; local, developmental, 18; violence, 5. ‘Ths principal causes of death were: Crvup, 1; diphtheria, 5; consumption, 1 diarrhoeal, 1; typhoid fever, 2; ma neumonia, 10; congestion of the lungs, 8; ronchitis, whooping cough, 1; kidney diseases, 7; meningitis, 1; cancers, 7.
