CHIEFLY THINGS WE DONT WANT |The Parcels Post System to Be Urged. pee ES FOREIGN MONEY ORDERS One of the most important propositions to come before the international postal congress-is the subject of territorial tran- sit charges. These charges arise from the service of one nation in carrying the mails of ancther across its territory to a third nation. In Europe by far the largest service of this kind falls upon France, and French common carriers receive from Eng- land, the United States, Germany, Bel- gium, Holland and Denmark a large ag- gregate sum, probably not less than $750, 000 every year. These mails are destined for Italy and the trans-Mediterranean countries, all the latter going by rail across France and Italy to Brindisi, whence they are sent by steamer to points along the Mediterranean. Italy, of course, receives a considerable sum in payment for her share of the service. The United States is interested in the subject on account of the transit of French and English mails across the continent to San Francisco, whence they are shipped by steamer to Australia, Hawall, and Japa- nese and Chinese ports. Originally this service was very large, but since the con- struction of the Canadian Pacific railroad most of the English mail matter has gone westward by that road and the amount paid this country for transcontinental mail hauling has been only about $50,000 a year. Territorial Transit Charges. The effort is to be made to induce the governments embraced in the postal union to forego the amounts paid them by other nations for this service and make this whole item of mail transportation practi- cally free upon the theory that what is paid is practically offset by what is re- ceived. To this the United States would prebably make no objection, and might make it a matter of earnest advocacy be- fore the congress. France, however, would doubtless make strenuous opposition. Her service is too large to make any similar service for her by the other nations cf the union an adequate offset. As there is a strong sense of the necessary reciproct- ties between the nations in the union it*is not likely a proposition which would be so manifestly burdensome to one of its principal members would carry. To the United States it would be, however, an advantage, The haul in this country is a long one—much longer than in France, or almost any other country—and as the com- pensation is made by the kilogram for the entire haul and not by the kilogram per mile the pay is the same, no matter whether the haul is 3,000 miles or 20. An alternative proposition will be discussed, the features of which are that any coun- try that may desire to do away with terri- torial transit charges due to or from an- other country may, by postal conventions, agree to abolish such charges. Where two countries are now performing a nearly equal amount of service for each other it would be an advantage to both to abolish the form of making payment to each other. This plan would not disturb France in the performance of the vast amount cf pcstal traffic devolving upon her. The Parcels Post. Another matter which will be thoroughly econsidered is the internatioral parcels post. This system is in full vogue in the coun- tries of Europe, and they naturally desire to extend it to the United States, where so large a proportion of our population has cyme to us by immigration from across the Atlantic. The idea is to have all mer- chandise mailable ip to a limit of twelve pounds. As our exports are for the most part bulky and the proportion of Ameri- cans living abroad is very small in com- parison to the population of European origin in this country, the balance of par- cels post business would be decidedly against us. Another item to be considered is the fact that a large part of our foreign- bern population will be found at long dis- tances from the Atlantic coast. A major- ity of foreign mail matter received under a parcels post system would go to the Mis- sissippi valley. The average distance over which a parcel would have to be carried, it is estimated, would not be less than 800 miles, while the average distance which parcels are carried in Europe aftery they have reached the country of destination is less than 100 miles. Another consideza- tion which will prompt the representatives of the United States in the postal congress to exercise the greatest caution will be the necessity for quick and careful inspection by customs officers of all parcels arriving in the mails at Atlantic ports. There is, of course, endless opportunity for smuggling, even in packages which are limited to twelve pounds in weight, and this danger is especially greater in the kind of mer- chandise likely to be received than in that which is Hkely to be sent dut from the United States. Foreign Money Orders. An effort will be made by the representa- tives of the European members of the pos- tal union to establish with the United States and Er gland the same international money order system which is in use be- tween the nations of continental Europe. A money order sent from France to Spain is very similar to one sent from Washing- ton to Raltimore. In other werds, the of- fice of origin snd the office of destination trarsact essentially all the business con- nected with the order, and there is a wide door of opportunity for fraud. All money orders sent frcm the United States to any part of continental Europe are now suh- ject to inspecticn and registry at the New York post office, as a check upon possible fraud. Th2 English postal authorities practice the seme tem. Both the United States and Englande will doubtless oppose any modification of this method of con- ducting the fcreign money order business. There are other questions that will come before the ccnvention, but these are those of first importance to this country. Has Been Pardoned. Nathan Robinson, the young man who was sentenced to eight years’ confinement in the penitentiary at Baltimore at the October term of the Cirqpit Court in 1891 for killing George Durno, the manager of the Beale stock farm, in the stable of that farm, has been pardoned by Governor Brewn, and left last Saturday for his home im New Jersey. —— Naval Movements.

Indignation Among His Friends—The Case May Be Investi- gated. There was a sad death in the ninth pre- cinct police station at an early hour this morning, and the peculiar circumstances under which the death occurred may call for an investigation. The man who died was Edmund J. Barry, an ex-policeman. He had been drinking, and it is supposed that the combination of liquor and®warm weather caused his death. According to the report of the police, Dr. Cole, the phy- sician to the poor, whose office is on H street, was sent for, but he refused to re- spond and ease the sufferings of the dying man. Dr. J. R. Nevitt, one of the police surgeons, was sent for, but the man had been growing worse all the while, and he died soon after Dr. Revitt arrived. Edmund J. Barry was well known in the neighborhood of Maryland avenue and 6th Street northeast, where for a number of years he was employed as clerk in McAllis- ter’s grocery store. Later he went on the police force, and did duty for a short time in the third precinct. Then he returned :o the grocery store. Mr. McAUister died sud- denly about a year ago, and Barry has since clerked for the widow. He had not been at work since Thursday. Mrs. McAllister was told that he was sick, but people who knew him say that he was drinking. Policeman Archambault made the arrest three hours after Mrs. McAllister says she saw him perfectly sober. The officers said that a citizen made the complaint against the man, and he arrested him on 6th street, opposite Mrs. McAllister's store. “When I found him,” said the policeman, “he had the ‘jim jams’ from drinking whisky.” Pinced in a Cell. A charge of “intoxication” was preferred against the man at the station at 11:30 o'clock and Barry was placed in a cell fur- nished with an iron bed. Four hours after Barry was placed behind the bars he had a spasm, and he was in such intense agony that one of the men in the station was sent for Dr. Cole, and he returned with the information that the doctor refused to respond. Then an. effort was made to get Dr. Nevitt, one of the police surgeons, and he responded without delay, but the pris- oner’s condition had become so serious that there was no hope for him, and he died” akout 5 o'clock. The body was placed in the morgue. * Word of the man’s death was sent to his aunt, who lives near 7th and B streets southeast, and also to Mrs. McAllister, and other friends, and most, if not all of them, are indignant at the treatment he received. They think that when the unfortunate man was taken to the station he should have had the services of a physician, when the officers said he was in such a serious con- dition, and should not have been thrown into a cell, where he had not even a pillow on wajch to rest his head. Dr. Cole’s Statement. Dr. John T. Cole, who is the physician to the poor who the police say refused to attend the man, said this morning to a Star reporter that he was called up on the ‘phone during the night and asked by a policeman to go to the station “house and attend a man who was drunk. He an- swered by asking why the police surgeon was not called, and stated that Dr. Wood- ward, the health officer, had given in- structions that the physicians to the poor should not be called upon in such cases unless it might be a matter of plain hu- manity for them to attend patients un- der charge of the police. He therefore de- clined to go unless the man was in great distress or needed immediate attention, which the policeman at the ‘phone said was not the case. Dr. Cole says that he asked if there were any convulsions, and was answered in the negative. He then told the policeman to get some bromide from the medicine chest that is kept in each station house and give the patient a tablespoonful. If this did not quiet him to give another similar dose with a little brandy. Having thus prescribed for the man, he says, as well as though he had gone to the station, he retired once more. He says that if the prisoner had been suffering and in need of immediate atten- tion he should have gone, though the case was not properly under his jurisdiction. No Inquest Necessary. Deputy Coroner Glazebrook saw the body today. He ordered no autopsy or in- quest, but concluded that alcohol caused his death, and gave such a certificate. The body was then turned over to Undertaker J. William Lee to be prepared for burial, and word of the man’s death was sent to his brother in Jersey City. Health Officer Woodward said to a Star reporter that he had received no official information concerning the casé. So far as he knew, he said, there was no rule laid down concerning the treatment of prisoners in the police stations, but he supposed that the police surgeons would be the first call- ed upon. The physicians to the poor, he said, have a great amount of work to do, although he thought in a case of emer- gency any one should respond. So far as Dr. Cole was concerned, he said, the doc- tor had always been very obliging and ready to respond to cases. Before passing upon the merits of the case, he said, he would wait until it comes to him in an official way, and then, if it should come, he will make an investigation. ——.__ Miss Dodge Improving. Miss Abigail Dodge continues to grow stronger, and will leave the city within a day or two. THE GARBAGE scows. Their Odors Awaken the Indignation of Alexandria. There has been a condensed form of ex- citement in Alexandria over the fact that several scows containing accumulations of gurbage collected in this city have been allowed to lie in the river just opposite Alexandria for several days past, the odors therefrom proving most obnoxious to the residents of the Virginia city, es well as to the passengers on excursicn boats passing up and down the stream. The presence of the scows'was reported to the health officer of Alexandria, who sought the advice of the cerporation at- torney in regard to the situation, and the latter suggested that the authorities sink one of the scows. This action, it is said, was taken by the superintendent of police, and it is reported that the mayor intends fo\prompuy, destroy any other scows that y be anchored in the vicini i af Alexandria, Aenean Secretary Bayly of the’Natignal Sanit: ; 3 2d ar’ Company, which holds the contract for re- moving the garbage of the city, stated to a Star reportef today that he knew nothing whatever in regard to the reported pres- ence of the scows opposite Alexandria. This company is supposed to remove daily the garbage from’ Washington,” he said, “and for thirty years such accumula- tions have been carried down the Potomac river. It has been the custom.during such transportation to keep close to the District shore, and if these scows ate opposite Al- exandria they must be within the limits of the District, and I do net think that the Alexandria authorities fre warranted in interfering with them. The -s¢ows are the property of A. J. Taylor & Bro. of this city, who are employed by the National Sanitary Company to tow the accumula- tions down the river. They are responsible for leaving the scows at any point prior to reaching the dumping grounds, and any injury done the boats, I am sure, will be resented by A. J. Taylor & Bro.” Mr. Taylor's. Statement. “My men landed several scows containing garbage Wednesday morning last at Shep- ard’s wharf, which is fully a mile from Alexandria and also within the limits of the District of Columbia,” said Captain Taylor of the firm of A. J. Taylor & Bro.,to the reporter. “The material was to be un- loaded on the property of a farmer in that vicinity, and it was necessary to keep the scows at the wharf until about 3 o'clock in the afterncon, when the tude would permit a landing to be made. In the mean- time, however, the superintendent of Alex- andria police, with several a boarded one of the scows and des protests of one of our men, who explained the situation, the intruders partially burn- ed and sank the scow. For years it has been the custom to dispose of garbage in the manner we are now doing. I tow it where the National Sanitary Company di- rects. “The scow that was injured is the prop- erty of my brother and myself, and, of course, we mean to secure redress. I shall see the United States attorney this after- noon to determine the proper course to take in regard to prosecuting the parties from Alexandria who caused the damage. — PROTECTING YELLOWSTONE PARK. Ranchmen Not to Be Permitted to Graze Cattle There. Formal instructions for the government of leases of land in the Yellowstone Park have been issued by Acting Secretary of the Interior Sims. The department holds it is not its policy to interfere with the pri- vate ownership of lands within the park, but it forbids grazing sheep and cattle therein, and carrying them over the park lands, except under the superintendent's supervision. Acting Superintendent Rodgers is directed to require each owner of pat- ented land within the park or his lessee or transferee before taking any steps toward carrying stock to such lands to file evi- dence of title and have the lands properly surveyed. z The official recommendation that no own- er of land within the limits of the park be allowed to lease the property to any sheep or cattle owner is not adopted, owing to lack of authority. However, parties who lease from fifty to 320 acres and bring in stock that would graze off that amount of land in two weeks and Keep the stock in the park all the summe? with men on the watch, so that word can be given of the patrol’s approach, when the stack is driven back to the leased lands, will be summarily dealt with. They will be given, notification that no further leases’ of lands to them within the park limits will bd ‘recognized, as the department “does hot propose to al- low things to drift along until the park swarms with sheep, cattle and’ their irre- sponsible drivers.” oe : ————_-e + ___ Concert at the Arsenal.

Smith of Indiana enjoys the distinction of standing first in the com- petition conducted at the State Department for the selection of a consular clerk, and he will receive the appointment. This is the first time that one of these desirable places has been filled by competitive exam- ination. Mr. Smith, who is a musical com- poser of some note, will probably be as- signed to duty at the United States em- bassy at Berlin, where he will have an opportunity to pursue his musical studies. Mr. Smith will resign his present clerical position in the State Department. He won over three competitors, Ex-Governor Francis to Have a Sound Money Convention. DESIGNED 10 WIN OVER DEMOCRATS The Plan is Approved by the Ad- ministration. ee A GOOD EFFECT EXPECTED Ex-Gov. Francis, chairman of the Mis- sourl state democratic central committee, has intimated to President Cleveland the course he intends pursuing in order to head off any attempt on the part of the free sil- ver democrats of his state to call a snap convention to declare in favor of the white metgl in the manner that such action was taken by the free silver democrats of Illi- nois. = This plan is regarded as a most ingen- fous one, likely to do great service for the administration, and to help materially the cause of “sound money.” Mr. Francis’ plan is simply to call a convention within a few days of Missouri democrats to con- sider the money question, this convention to meet in about two months. It is pro- posed to prosecute an active campaign in the meantime in order to win the democ- racy of Misscuri over to “sound money. Mr. Carlisle will be asked to go to Missouri to make one or more speeches on the finan- cial question, and it is the intention of Mr. Francis and his friends to secure as many advocates of the administration’s policy as possible to help in shaping public opin- ion of their state, so that when the dele- gates to the conven Jon are selected a ma- jority may favor “sound money” princi- ples. Why This Move Was Decided On. It is said that Mr. Francis and other leading administration democrats of Mis- souri decided on this course because they fear a move on the part of the silver men looking toward the calling of a convention within a very short period, and in the pres- ent state of public opinion in Missouri it is feared that such a convention, even if not “packed” for the purpose of indorsing sil- ver, would havea result quite similar to that of the Springfield meeting of Gov. Altgeld, Mr. Hinrichsen and their follow- ers. If a silver convention were called to meet two er three weeks hence, so that the money question could not be discussed beforehand, even sound money democrats think the outcome of it would be detri- mental to their interests. On the other hand, they think that an active campaign will change public sentiment and that a delayed convention will pronounce in their favor. There is no reason why the silver men might not call a convention to meet at once even in view of the proposed action on the part of the Missouri democrats, but it is confidently belleved that the ac- tion of Mr. Francis and his friends will prevent this course being taken. Should the silver men wish to precipitate such a convention the administration democrats will declare that they are afraid to de- lay action because they realize that a ma- terial change in public sentiment is tak- ing place. it would be claimed they are afraid of a free discussion of the ques- tion and it is not thought likely that un- der these circumstances the free silver men can do anything but indorse the ac- tion of the democrats and enter the campaign of education which will follow with a determination to win on the plan proposed by their opponents. A Good Effect Expected. The fact that in :nany of the states the administration democrats have opposed the holding “f conventions to consider the money question gives especial force to the mcve of the Missouri democrats, which, it is thought, will have a good effect throughout the country. This disinclina- tion was brought about by a feeling that in the present condition of the public mind a convention held anywhere in the west or south would result to the disad- vantage of sound money men. Now that the latter have come to believe that pub- lic sentiment is changing there is a feeling that the silver fight may be taken up in some sections of the country in conven- tions with the belief that if “sound money” can be indorsed in this way the effect will be beneficial on the entire coun- try. it is said that the administration ap- proves of Mr. Francis’ plan,and that every- thing possible to forward the movement on the part of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Carlisle will be done. In perfecting the details of this plan it is possible that a still further delay than that suggested will be made. It is possible that three or four months may be allowed to pass before the conven- tion is held. But the course adopted by the demccrats of Missouri indicates that that state will, during the next few months, take a very prominent part in the determination of the silver question. —_—_+o._.

He had a hard trip on his wheel, notwith- standing which he delivered his dispatches safely and broke the western record by one hour and fifteen minutes. It was a quarter to 2 when Private Matthey ar- rived, having been thirteen days, seven hours and fifteen minutes on the road and covering a distance of 1,200 miles. It is true the distance between Chicago and Washington, D. has been made in a little more than six days, but the course is down grade the greater portion of the way. Matthey told me tonight he was confident he could beat his own record by at least a day, and said he was anxious to make the attempt. ‘When Gen. Miles asked for volunteers to make the run between Fort Hamilton and Chicago, Matthey was one of six to respond, and his record as an expert cy- clist led to his selection by the general. However fresh he may have been when he left New York he was indeed a weather beaten and weary vetcran in appearance when he rode up to the Auditorium Annex this afternoon, his clothes being covered with dust and dirt, and his wheel all cov- ered with mud. He looked as :hough he had been through a hard campaign, for his face was the color of burnt umber and his hands were plistered and raw in many places. Gen. Merritt was waiting for him, and, taking the dispatches from his breast pocket, be handed them to the commanding general and then went to the home, of his brother in North Roby street to recuperate. As his furlough expires on July 7 he must ke at Fort Hamilton on that date. ———_+e+ Marriage Licenses. Marriage licenses have been issued to the following: Joseph T. Lynch and Elsie B.

HONOLULU, June 17.—The first legisla- ture under the republic was called together on the 11th instant. The president's mes- sage was read. It deals with many ques- tions of local interest. In speaking of an- nexation with United States, the president says: “While the annexation of this country to the United States of America has not been accomplished, it still remains the policy of the government. Its consumma- tion will be earnestly sought, with an abiding faith that such a result will be a lasting benefit to our country.” -The president is in favor of a cable anc says: “One of the matters to which I would es- pecially direct your attention is cable com- munication with the outer world. Until such» communication is secured Hawall must remain isolated. To do everything within our power to establish such com- munication is, and must continue to be, one of the items of the Hawalian policy, until it is accomplished. But two bills have been introduced so far —the new land law and supplemental ap- propriation bills—one item of which is a settlement for Princess Kaiulani. She is to receive $4,000 a year from the govern- ment, commencing about April 1 of the present year. This money will be paid to her as long as she does not meddle in politics. Col. McLean, in charge of the military forces, called upon ex-Queen Liliuokalani on the 10th instant, to ascertain officially the condition of that lady’s health. He learned that her health was excellent. There is a well-defined rumor floating about to the effect that the ex-queen will be pardoned at an early date. No confirma- tion can be had. ‘The government has declined to liberate a number of rebel prisoners on July 4. The pardoning powers will be used in the cases of a number of ignorant natives, who took part in the recent revolt. This fact will be a disappointment to several gentlemen who expected to be pardoned, Major Seward be- ing among them. Filibustering rumors are still current. The latest story is that the government service at San Francisco had given the in- formation that a frigate will shortly start from South America to -the islands. She will have arms, ammunition and a force of 400 men. It is surmised that the force may be divided, one-half landing on Hawaii and one-half on Amui. ee FOURTH ON BUZZARD’S BA Annexation The President Will Have a Quiet Celebration. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BUZZARD'S BAY, June 22, 1895. It has been customary in seasons past here for President Cleveland and ‘amily, Joseph Jefferson and family and the colony of theatrical people at Buttermilk Bay, to- gether with the summer residents in the immediate vicinity, to unite in a joint cele- bration of Independence day. This year the Fourth of July will be observed in a fitting and patriotic manner. Definite ar- rangements have not yet been completed, but one of the features which will be made much of is as good as determined. It is to be a clam-bake, a “rouser.” The bake will probably* be given at Buttermilk Bay at the cottage and grounds of Mr. Thomas Jefferson, the second son of the actor, as it is his year to entertain the colony, accord- ing to the custom which has come to be the established arbiter in social matters here. Boat racing and other sports in plenty may be set down as to take place then, and it is expected that the President will take part in the festivities. ‘here wiil be no fireworks in the evening at Buttermilk Bay. The destruction of Mr. Jefferson's former beautiful home by fire two years ago has made the artist very sensitive to fire and the likelihood to accident through carelessness. It is probable that President Cleveland will observe the day by keeping very quiet, possibly enjoying a fishing trip down the bay a portion of the day, a’ visit to the clam-bake grove and a display of fireworks at Gray Gables in the evening. ‘The President has received numerous in- vitations to go elsewhere to take part in political gatherings, social outings and to a number of localities for various purposes, but there is no indication that he intends to accept any-of these, not even the press- ing demand that he be the guest of honor ot Tammany Hall in New York. He has come here for quiet, rest and the retire- ment which Gray Gables affords, and there is little doubt that he will stick to that determination until fall, unless something arises to imperatively demand his presence in Washington. Little Ruth is frequently driven over to the village by Dan“Nolan, the coachman, her German maid, Annie, usually accom- panying. Ruth is a gay little child, a veritable interrogation point, rampant. She is being taught German by the maid and is rapidly learning to speak it. Little Esther is soon to be instructed in it, while she already begins to “pick it up” from hearing her sister and the maid converse, —— Transfers of Real Estate.
