The Vienna corespondent of the London Standard says: 5 “It is probably due to a’complete under- standing reacned between Ceunt Golu- chowski, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, “and Prince Hohenlohe, the Ger- man chaneellor, that all the inspired or- gans of the Vienna foreign office are propa- gating *the idea that after the first serious encounter between Spain and the United States the intervention of the powers wal bring the war to a close. “The intervention would consist of a rec- ommendation that Spain should give up Cuba, after having saved her honor. It is in keeping with this idea that the foreign office organs cxpress extreme impatience at the slowness of developments, while ad- mitting that Austria and Germany are united in politics.” * The Washington correspondent of the Daily News says: “President McKinley thinks Cuba can be reduced by hunger, when the powers will intervene to compel Spain to recognize the loss of the island and to abandon the war. There is a grow- ing impression that there will be no real fighting, especially since the Spanish fleet seems disposed to remain on the European side of the Atlantic.” WHAT DO baie CHILDREN "t give them tea or coffe>.

Congress. SECRETARY AND "SUPERINTENDENT They Testify as to Supplies and Construction. SOME QUESTIONS ASKED The subcommittee of the House commit- ; tee on appropriations for the investigation of the telephone service in the District of Columbia met this morning at 10:45. Mr. Pitney and Mr. Dockery were present. Horace W.Upperman, secretary and pur- chasing agent of the telephone company, was the first witness sworn. He testified that he had been a clerk in the office of the president of the company for some time up to 1893, when he became secretary of the company and in 1895 became pur- chasing agent in addition to his duties as secretary. Purchase of Supplies. In reply to questions by Mr. Jere M. V son, counsel for the telephone company, Mr. Upperman described the manner in which purchases of the company are made. He said purchases are made under com- petition and almost invariably the lowest Lids are accepted. He said they had never bought supplies from the Western Electric Company when svch suppli2s could be secured cheaper from scme other company. There were, ne sald, other companies in New York which fur- nish the same things as are furnished by the Western Electric Company. In reply to questions hy Mr. J. H. Hemp- hill, counsel for the People’s Association, Mr. Upperman said the company paid $6.00 for electric belis used on telephone instru- rents. Mr. Hemphill asked the proportion of sup- plies purchas2d from the Western Electric Company and from other companies, and what proportion of the purckases from the Western Electric Company could have been bought from other companies. The witnes: could not answer this question withou looking up the data. Cost of Constructic A. P. Crenshaw, general Zuperintendent of construction of the company since 18! was put on the stand. He has under him from fifty to sixty-five employes for the work in the District of Columbia. He said the wages paid by the company are rather below wag erally gid for the same class of wdrk. He said up to Decembe: 1, 1897, the com laid over 79,080 fee of underground conduit. e construction was done in 1S?1 Previous to 1891 they used the principal and lid sy tem but in i891 they began to construct the “drawing-in” system. The drawing-in s tem was preferred, as it allowed repairs to the cable the street. Mr. Pitney aske to be made without digging up what new construction was done sir The witness replied that very little was done except in 18H. The old ‘solid duct conduit had amounte! to 15,000 feet. The solid conduits carrying r st for each duct from $1 to cents a foot to lay. same conduiis had been replaced at a saving of £2,000 for the 8,000 feet of double ducts, and the drawing-in conduits replac- ing the old solid conduits contained cight instead of two ducts. Maintenance Really Construction. Mr. Pitney desired the witness to explain, from a reference to his books, which were at hand, what work was recorded unc the head of maintenance, which was realiy censtruction in the replacing of old con- Guits by new cnes. Mr. to the witness and him. Mr. Pitney obje Ir of the company interfering with t ness, and said the latter must be to testify without xchange of vie with M itness examined beok: After examining th beoks showing work of maintenance, he said that on four pages he found construc- tion work. He testified that lacing of 02d conduits by new conc under maintet ance. In rerly to a question by Mr. id the company u he present time; al been replaced by the put down Hemphill, pd no sol such con- “drawing conduit Atl o'clock a recess was taken until 1 o'clock. Electricnl Equipment, The telephone investigation was resumed E. Crandall was the first witness Mr. J. sworn. He said he was the electrician and eral superintendent of equipment of the peake and Potomac Telephone Com- He described his duties direct examination was condueted by Mr. Wilsi attorney of the company. He said that his work was that of equipment. He was what was the character of material used. He replied to quality material was the uriety of mat said that the bells were o. He described minutely the delic: con- struction of the telephone and the high grade of material and delicacy of work- manship required. He said th the 5 the bells were purchased of W lectric Company, and that was no better bell made, and none t sort to be got anywhere in this country except of the Wes Electric Company. : He said that he had from twenty-five to thirty employes in his branch of the serv- ice, and ef this number fifteen were ex- perts. They had much night and Sunday work to do. He said that he knew‘of no place where the umber of employes or the expense of material could be reduced. He explained why none but the ve expensive bells used by the company would do for their purpeses. They used, he said, but two sets of bells, and the difference in price between them was only about 70 or 80 cents. FOURTH-CLASS GRADUATES. . Army Receives a Valuable Addition of Zealous Young Officers. The fourth-year class of cadets was gra@- uated at West Point Tuesday afternoon. Col.

From the Denver Times. “Say, sergeant,” exclaimed a woman as she came into the Denver police ‘station half out of breath. Then she hesitated. “Waat is it, ma’am?” “I don't like to tell you.”” “Proceed. Have you been burglarized?” “No, but some one stole a lot of clothes from off my itne last night.” “Just give the detectives @ list of the stuff stolen. “I couldn't do that, for they took two ¥ al of ne “Go ahead.’ “Oh, no; I couldn't do that, but, Mr. Po- Ucemin, if you see anybody Wearing them, arrest them.” With this brief explanation she departed, and the police have no clue. ‘The Norwegian corps of skaters, a force peculiar to the army of that country, is a body of soldiers armed with rifies, who can be maneuvered upon ice or over the snow fields of the mountains with a rapidity equal to that of the best trained cavairy.

G. I. Stegert & ns, A Novel Vessel. From the Charleston News and Courier. The curiosity is tha British steamship Progressist, which arrived some days ago from Live: pool “with a cargo of salt. Her peculiarity is in her lines. The ship is a large one, 2,025 tons, and draws when fully loaded twenty feet of water. In build it seems to be a hybrid between an ordinary “tramp” and a “whaleback.” About three feet above the water line the sides of the vessel seem to have collapsed, and for the length of the boat a wide shelf is formed about six feet at the widest part and taper- ing toward stem and stern to probably two feet. Above this, in the center, the body of the ship goes up probably ten to twelve feet, and here are all the hatches and the gear and machinery for wcrking. From a stern view the boat looks like nothing so much as a peg top, and the side elevation is hardly less queer. It is the only ship of the kind that has ever been in Charleston harbor, and naturally excites a good deal of interest. The officers, as naturally they should, say that the build is excellent, and in many ways superior to the usual ‘style of boat . buil > but mariners who sall other ships shake their heads, and, point- ing to the long shelves, say: “What would @ very heavy sea do when. crashing dete? mn that platfcrm and finding uo outlet?” They are of the opinion that the sist was built as an experiment, inclined to think that it was not a success.
