Most of the roads were construct- ed under the supervision of the French and English engineers and the securities have been very gradually absorbed by French yestors. Vie speek of the trains {s very low. The express trains run on only a few of the Mnes and even the “trains de luxe,” which run only first-class carriages, with the fares raised by 50 per cent, seldom run faster than twenty-five miles an hour,while the ordinary trains never attain a speed of more than fifteen miles an hour and are often behind time, especially in the south- ern part of Spain. Tourists usually select the first-class carriages, which are fitted up like those in Franee, but they are by no means as comfortable and clean as they should be, and on the main roads they are often overcrowded. The number of seats is six or eight, and some of these are often oceupied by the conductors of the train and even railway laborers, who scramble in- tothe train between stations, much to the disgust of the passengers. Every train is supposed to have a first-class com it reserved for ladies and another for those who do not smoke, but the latter injunc- tion is seldom heeded by the Spanish trav- elers; but this ts en evil which is by no means limited to Siratu, ger in it is almost lmapossivis te prevent travelers from smoking in every compartment. Th = ond-class carriages on the Spanish rail. ways have narrow and uncomfortable seats for ten persons and are generally dirty and neglected. The third-class carriages ate of course, impossible for foreigners, and they have sometimes seats on the ‘roof are u: r rool sed exclusively by the lower n winter the carriages are heated b: warmers. At nearly all railway jusstooe there are restaurants, but those who prefer to eat in a more leisurely manner may pro. vide themselves with food to consume ta the railway carriage, but in this case the oewen ak demands the formality of your fellow-pas; meal mith Sone passenger to share the t the larger stations the ly closes a quarter of an hour bekee ene ne Parture of the train; go this necessitates the traveler being on hand much before the proper time. In some cases there are no waiting rooms, and where there are passengers are not allowed to enter either the waiting rooms or platforms unless they have their railway tickets. The railway officials have not seen fit to pay much at. tention to issuing return tickets, which are such a source of revenue in Italy and othe countries. Such tickets are only available for one or two days and are Issued on a few lines only, and the reduction in the fare is generally insignificant. Circular tour tickets are not unknown, but these tickets for combined tours in France and Spain have been discontinued, owing to the instability of Spanish currenc; ———$+e The Smallest Salary.

LARGE CROWD EXPECTED Local Notes of General Interest to Residents. fichier teat CASES IN POLICE COURT Evening Star Bureau, Corner King and Columbus Streets, ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 11, 1898. The Seventh Day Adventists’ camp meet- ing and state conference will not eommence today, as announced by their circulars, through error, but the opening services will be held tomorrow morning. But little work remains to be dene on the grounds before the opening. A large pavilion tent with eapacity for holding 1,500 people is stand- ing. Provision and reception tents are up, and twenty-five or thirty smaller tents are already prepared for occupation. The sit- uation is commanding, overlooking Wash- ington and Alexandria. It is an ideal place for a camp ground. Already many o¢ the Adventists are there, among them the president, Elder D. C. Bab- cock of Richmond. The opening sermon will be preached by Elder R. A. Underwood of Philadelphia, assisted in the services by Elder Loughborough. Throughout the ses- sion able speakers will discuss the leading religious questions of the times, such as the coming of the Lord, the Sabbath of the Lord, Christian citizenship, the signs of the times, canital and labor, and other ques- tions of general interest in these times. It is expected that 300 Adventists will come, representing every section of Virginia, and that visitors from the vicinity will greatly augment -he daily congregations. Examining Teachers. The examination for white teachers closed yesterday, and today Superintendent K. Kemper, assisted by Mr. Wm. Green- well, is conducting the colored teachers’ examination in Peabody Hall. Those being examined are: Males—Patrick L. Lump- Kins, Fred H. Rich of the city, Samuel L. Wade, Alexandria county, and J. H. Wil- Mams, Harrisburg, Pa.; females, Sarah J. Derrick, Bessie L.

Windsor, daughter of the late Ricard Windsor of Fairfax coun- ty, died in Brooklyn, N.Y., last Sunday. The remains were brovght to this city to- dsy, and will be interred this morning in the family vault in the cemetery adjoining Alexandria. Miss Wirdsor belonged to an old Virginia family, and was well known in this city, near w Mr. Richard Windsor cwned the magnificent Hayfield estate. ‘the unnounzement of her death has ocea- sioned general scrrow tn this city. Prisoners Removed. United States Marshal Morgan Tate ar- rived in this city yesterday and removed two prisoners, who at the last term of the United States court held here were con- ted of counterfeiting United States money. They were carried to the peniten- tary in Nocth Carolina, These prisoners had been confined in the Alexandria jail for the last month. The prisoner who was serving a term of thirty days for making false pension claims Was released yesterday, the time having expired. Police Matters. Only two petty cages were before Mayor Simpson this morning, and they were dis- posed of in short order. James Jones, colcred, had been arrested by Officer Hall, charged with leaving a nuisance on the premises of Mr. John T. Nalle. He was fined $2.50. Joseph Wells, a young man, was arrested by Officer Young on a charge of fighting. The case wis dismissed. Capt. Webster of the police force wrote to the North Carolina authorities this morning informing them that Wright and Reid, supposed to have been in the post of- fice robbery at Aberdeen, N.C., on the night of April 4, were arrested in Alexan- dria on April 12. Of the other man, Milier, he could give no information. Local Notes. Jackson Council, No. 55, Jr. O. U. A.

It was discovered that a gas pipe containing soda water chemicals had exploded, doing a little damage in the car, but hurting nobody, although a boy was in the car at the time. ITALY GRANTED MORE TIME. But Colombia Had Meanwhile Agreed to Pay. A cablegram was received at the State Department this morning from Rome say- ing that out of regard for the United States the Italian goverment had telegraphed Ad- miral Candiani, at Cartagena, Colombia, to give the Colombian government eight months’ time in which to settle with Cer- ruti’s creditors under the terms of Presi- dent Cleveland’s award. It is not generally realized that this Cer- ruti affair promised to parallel the celebrat- ed Corinto affair, when the landing of Brit- ish troops on Nicuraguan soil threatened to involve the United States in trouble with Great Britain. At Cartagena the Italian admiral had prepared to seize the custom house and occupy the town until recom- pense was made for the amount claimed un- der the award. It whs realized at once that such an event would create the greatest ex- citement in this country; and, having been in 8 measure involved in the affair through having acted as ‘arbitrator, the United States government felt ‘that it was in duty bound to seek to compfomise the difficulty between .two friendly nations. How well the Secretary of Stats has succeeded in this effort is indicated by the dispatch from Rome above referreil to. - Cerruti was an Italian subject living in the state of Cauca, Colombia, and during a revolutionary movement in 1885 was im- prisoned by the Colémbian government and his business practicilly nutned. After some negotiations between Italy and Colombia his claim for compgnsation was submitted to the arbitration Of President Cl=veland, who awarded the claimant direct damages to the amount of $250,000. In addition it was decreed that Colombia shotld be re- sponsible for the indebtedness of th firm of which Cerruti was a member, in recognitién of the fect that that firm had been prac- tically ruined in its business. It was agajnst the latter decre> that the Colombian gov- ernment so energetically protested, claiming that the arbitrator had exceeded his au- thority in dealing with this phase of ths case, which was not touched upon in the articles providing for the submission of the dispute to arbitration. The amount involved has been yariously stated, but is believed to be in the neighborhood of $100,000. Advices received from Cartagena say that the Italian consul there, who has just re- turned from Bogota, reports that the Co- lombian congress has authorized President Caro to settle the Cerruti claim. The nee. essary supplementary vote was added to the budget, which was passed with the best grace. The Eee Js there- Iv fore practically settled, the manner and details of payment fixed. to be Bland’s Forces Routed by Missouri Expansionists. REPUBLICANS’ HARMONY NEBRASKA Their Plaiform Contains a New War Plank. THE MEN FOR CONGRESS The Missouri democrats hav2 fallen away from Congressman Bland on the question of territorial expansion. They continue to Icok upon him as the oracle of financial re- form, but when it comes to the great ques- tion of the present hour they prefer to fol- low the leadership of Governor Stone. The venerable Congressman saw that defeat was in the air when the convention met at Springfizld, Mo., yesterday, and instead of making a straightout issue he used his best endeavors to get the convention to avoid the question of territorial expansion, ad- mitting, however, that he was opposed to the acquisition of any territory whatever. There was a long and hard fight in the committee on resolutions, which resulted in the rout of the Bland forces. Ata late hour last evening a platform was agr2ed upon which reindorses the Chicago platform; in- sists on the strict maintenance of the Mon- roe doctrine; opposes acquisition of the Philippines or other territory in the eastern hemisphere; approves the construction of the Nicaraguan canal, which should be con- trolled by the United States; declares that our navy should be kept equal to any emer- gency; demands that Porto Rico and all Spanish territory in the West Indies =xcept Cuba shall be taken and held by the United States, Cuba to be allowed to establish its own government and to be annexed only at the desire of the people of the island. Ex-Gov. Stone’s Speech. At the conclusion of Chairman Bland's address, reported in The Star yesterday, and after recess, former Governor Stone was called upon for a speech. He replizd briefly, and in referring to the foreign situ- ation said: “I would annex the island of Porto Rico I am in favor of It is neces- It is to the American Union. aking it because we want it. ry to our coast defense; so is Cuba. necessary to our commerce minion of the Gulf of Mexico. He declared that every democratic Presi- dent from Jefferson to Buchanan favored territorial annexation, and that J2fferson advised the annexation of Cuba repeatedly. He also favored building the Nicaraguan canal, a greater navy and an increase in the merchant marine. When Governor Stone had ceased speak- ing the regular crder of business was tak up.

Halliburton of Jasper coun- S nominated for the short term. ‘The first ballot resulted in the election of Judge William C, Marshall, supreme judge for long term, and Judge Leroy B. Valliant for the short term of the same office. The convention then adjourned until to- day. Harmonious Republicans. Nebraska republicans made a record for industry yesterday in their state conven- tion, concluding with a degree of harmony perhaps unequaled in the history of the party in the Jast ten years. The selection of Judge M. L. Hayward of Nebraska Cily as the head of the ticket was made certain when positive assurance came from Wash- ington that Assistant Secretary of War Meiklejohn, whom many delegates desired to honor, would under no circumstances permit the use of his name. Judge Baker of Omaha, the only other candidate for the governorship, withdrew early in the roll-call on the first formal ballot and requested the unanimous selec- tion of Judge Hayward. The speech of Senator John M. Thurston as permanent chairman, although short, was full of fire, and brought the enthusi- asm of the crowd to the bubbling-over point. Much of his address devoted to the war and its successful prosecution and probable early conclusion under the guid- ing hand of President McKinley. Contrary to the expectations of those who thought his close relations with the President would justify him in outlining the pcssible administrative policy as re- gards the Philippines, he referred but in. cidentally to those islands. The contests for the remaining places on the ticket were at no time bitter, many of the selections being made by acclamation. The complete ticket follows: For governor, M. L. Hayward, Otoe coun- ty. Lieutenant governor, George A. Murphy, Gage county. Secretary of state, Cenek Duras, Saline county. Auditor, T. L. Matthews, Dodge county. Treasurer, Peter Mortensen, Valley coun- ty. Superintendent of public instruction, J. F. Saylor, Lancaster county. Attorney general, J. N. Jackson, Antelope county. Commissioner of public lands and build- ings, A. R. Williams, Douglas county. Reaffirm Allegiance. ‘The platform is brief and goes to ex- tremes in conservatism, dismissing the sub- ject of territorial expansion with an in- dorsement of President McKinley's propos- ed terms of peace. A sentiment favorable to a declaration for imperialism was ap- parent before the convention met, but is supposed to have been antagonized in the committee on resolutions end did not come before the convention. The platform reiterates the declarations at St. Louis and continues: “We reaffirm unswerving allegiance to the principles enunciated in the republican national plat- form of 1896. We are in favor of the main- tenance of the present gold standard and unalterably opposed to the free and un- limited coinage of silver. “We favor the payment of our sailors and soldiers in the same money as is paid the bondholders. “We congratulate the nation upon the successful issue of the war with Spain, prosecuted under the direction of William McKinley, commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States, with the loyal support of brave volunteers on both land and sea. “We emphasize our hearty approval of the wise foreign policy of President McKin- ley and of the terms demanded of §pain as the conditions of restored peace.” The remaining planks are devoted to state issues. The convention adjourned sine die at 5:40 p.m. Florida Republicans. At the republican state convention held at Ocala, Fla., Tuesday last state candi- Gates were nominated, and at the second district republican convention at the same Tiace yesterday, H. L. Anderson, a lawyer o* Ocala, was nominated as a candidate for congressman. Both conventions were controlled by the Long faction of the party, Judge Long, national- republican commit- teeman from Florida, being chairman of the state convention. The Egan-Stillman wing of the party was completely routed. The republicans, for the first time in many years, intend to wage an aggressive cam- paign. The administration was indorsed amid great enthusizem. Wheeler's Opponent Withdraws. Juége Richardson has withdrawn from the race for Congress against Gen. Wheel- er, in.the eighth Alabama district.

By all means the hardest wounds the sol- diers of Uncle Sam's Cuban forces had to pear, so a Red Cross hospital attendant in- formed me, were those from spent balls. For some curious reason it is considered by the boys in blue a disgrace and degrada- tion to be hit by the spent ball or a splinter from a rock, and many of them during the several engagements went on fighting, de- spite painful injuries, without visiting the hospital or even consulting the surgeons. Indeed, some carefully concealed their spent ball and splinter wounds from inti- mates and officers. Said a veteran of the war of the rebellion: “The boys inherit this repygnance to the spent ball from their fathers, who took part in the war before. Many a man dled because he would not go to the hospital to for such injuries, preferring to Reeth secret rather than make public the fact of having been hit by the aH- contaminating exhausted missile. This was not only the common sentiment of the rank and file, but extended to the highest com- manders. * report of the capture of Se ans stated that General Whitaker was wounded, but did not leave the field, which was very true, but did not give half the story. The general was rush- ing things at the front of the army when he was struck. It made him deathly sick, and it was thought he was iy wound- ed. Surgeons were at once summoned, and associate officers gathered around the wounded warrior in great anxiety. One of the su! opened the general's waist- coat in looking for the wound, which seem- ed to be in the vicinity of the Between the t and the undercloth- e found a rifle ball, which had not ing Me akon the skin.

Marvelous Navigating Feats of Mar- shall Inland Natives, From the San Francisco Chronicle. The German protectorate of the Marshall Islands, which le just cast of the Caro- lines, in the equatorial Pacific, contain the most Garing sailors known. They are con- stantly performing feats in navigation that European sailors feared to venture on iong after they had the compass, which tnstra- ment, by the way, the Marshall islanders reject as useless. The archipelago Mes in two widely sep- arated groups, the Radack and the Ralick chains, and in each chain the islands Ie for the most part at extensive intervals. Yet the native pilots conduct voyages all over their own archipelago and to the Carolines in one direction and the Gilberts tn un- other. For this voyaging they rely upon charts of their own construction, tho knowledge having been handed down from remote antiquity. These charts are gea- erally about a yard square and are con- structed of slender sticks tied tog¢ther. At some intersections of the sticks are fasten- ed small shells, which stand for the difter- ent islands. The pilot posts himself in the bow of the vessel with his chart beforo him. He begins by establishing the par- ticular shell corresponding to the Isian@ from which he is just sailing. He sets the course as indicated by one of the sticks radiating from that shell in the proper ¢t- rection. Thereafter he watches the course in the sea with very slight use of the heay- — bodies for the determination of direc- jon. They make no secret of their art. They are often at great pains to teach it to tle
