Dan Burns has promised that he shall be appointed either a member of the State Board of Harbor Commissioners or Registrar of Voters for San Francisco. Howard E.

LONDON, Feb. 3.—The Berlin cerre- spondent of the Daily News says: The latest Samoan news has been received here with great calmness and with full confidence that all three protecting powers are resolved not to make Samoa a bone of contention. Nevertheless, it is contended that Herr Rose, the German Consul at Apia, was perfectly within his rights in taking the attitude of protest that he did regarding the arrest of Herr Grosmuhl, since the Germans there are under the jurisdiction of the German Con- had mo right to fine and imprison Gros- muhl.

GREAT SPEED IS CLAIMED ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY WORDS A MINUTE. F. Hachmann of Milwaukee Has a Scheme for Increasing the Rate of Sending Messages Three-Fold. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Feb. 2.—F. Hachmann, the Milwaukee inventor, exhibited to-day {at the office of the Western Electrical Company on fouth Jefferson street, an electrical typewriter which he claims ‘will revolutionize telegraphy. .In ap- | pearance it suggests an ordinary type- writing machine, except being simpler in construction. The essential parts of the machine are a cylinder, speed regu- lator, six gear wheels and a sounder similar to the sounder of the Morse in- strument. By pressing any letter on the key- board a letter is written not only upon | the paper in the machine, but upon a sheet of paper under a similar machine at the other end of the wire, at any dis- tance, as for instance Chicago to San .using the new machine the circuit has ‘thirty words can be sent a minute, and Francisco. The inventor claims that a much greater speed ‘in writing can be obtained on this machine than on an ordinary typewriter, for Uhe reason that on the new machine the depression of the keys can be made practically simultaneously and there will not be, as in the operation of an ordinary typewriter, that constantly aggregating loss of time rendered unavoidable by the necessity of allowing time for the keys to spring upward to the normal level. It is claimed the result of this saving of time gives a good operator power to write 180 words a minute. “By the present telegraph system the electric circuit has to be broken three times, on average, during the sending of every letter,” said Hachmann. “In to be broken only once in writing each letter. By the tape machine now, used in stock quotations only twenty to by the ordinary télegraph system not more than forty to sixty words a min- ute. The machine will not only send over the wire three times sixty words a minute, but it will print them at both ends of the wire in good, round, reada- ble type.” Hachmann is at work on a scheme to attach his new typewriter to linotype machines so correspondents may not only send but put in type their matter. RESCUED BY THE ENGINEER. Narrow Escape of a Train From Sink- ing Into a Mine. FORT SCOTT, Kans., Feb. 2.—As the southbound passenger train on the Kansas City and San Francisco road was slowing up for a rallroad crossing, near Pittsburg, Kans., this afternoon, the roadbed for a distance of sixty feet sank from under the engine and train. When the engineer felt the engine going down he put on a full head of steam, and as the ralls held together succeeded in A)ulllng the entire train out of the hole and on to solid_ground.

ACTION FOR THE FUTURE IT IS PROPOSED TO GET READY FOR NEXT SESSION. Cannon of Illinois Argues That at Present Financial Discussions Cannot Aid the Country’s ° Prosperity. Special Dispatch to The Call. ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—The Repub- lican members of the House met in caucus at 8 o’clock to determine upon a course of action in regard to the forming of financial legislation. The | meeting was well attended, most of the | prominent figures on the Republican side of the chamber being present. Speaker Reed did not attend. having previously made another engagement. General Grosvenor, chalrman of the caucus, presided, and Bennett of New York was chosen as secrctary, to suc- ceed Hooker resigned. Representative Henderson of Iowa presented the fol- lowing resolution, which served as 2o text for all the discussion of the even- ing: Resolved, That a committee of eleven members of the present House of Repre- sentatives who are members of the Fifty- sixth Congress shall be appointed by the chairman of this caucus for the purpose | of considering monetary legislation and | submitting their recommendations to a | Republican caucus at the first session of the Fifty-sixth Congress, with authority to confer with a like commission from the Senate. The discussion on this resolution pro- ceeded with much animation for more than an hour. There was but little di ference of opinion on the main point, that it would be futile to attempt finan- cial legislation at this late day in the present session. Cannon of Illinois questioned the wisdom of the resolution, although he said he would not oppose it with his vote. He expressed the strong belief, however, that the present prosperity of the country made it inexpedient to enter upon financial discussions. He particularly referred to the enermous | exports within recent months and the | great money balance in our favor. This, he thotght, showed such a| healthy economic condition that it| should be left alone. Cannon said he did not think any financial legislation could be carried through until after the next Presidential election. Payne, the recently appointed chair- man of the Ways and Means Commit- tee, did not coincide with Cannon’s ob- jections and strongly favored the pro- posed plan of committing the entire financial subject to a caucus commit- tee. It would permit careful considera- tion of the question during the coming months. and the preparation of such a well-matured plan as would commend itself on all hands.

OVERS of art in this city will be delighted to learn that the group of forty life-sized wax flgures representing Christ before Pilate has been presented to the Park Museum by the proprietors of the Emporium and Golden Rule This magnificent collection will be on exhibition in the Emporium Monday, a private exhibition having been given yesterday, and within a short time it will find its resting place among other historical and interest- ing acquisitions in the Park Museum. 5 The figures are much the same as in Munkacsy's famous painting—a typi Jerusalem, with Christ standing in the foreground facing Pilate, before whom Caiaphas is making a violent speech of accusation. Of all the figures represented in the painting, only Christ, Pilate and Caiaphas can be Christ, clad in a white robe, with' hands down before him, faces the Roman Governor, calm and firm, He is wasted from fasting, and haggard from loss of sleep and the strain to which his Pilate, garbed in the white, purple bordered toga of the Roman Senator, sits on his judgment seat, above the floor and occupying a niche in the wall, upon the sides of which are carved the various emblems of Roman authority. His is the typical Roman face, expressive and at times indicative of strong decision of character; yet here before the placid countenance of Christ and the violently expressive face of the accusing high priest the face of the Roman seems miserably full of indecision. Which he assumes to exert over the masses, while in reality he is controlled by them. Caiaphas, standing erect at the right of Pilate, recounts the charges against Christ in a vehement torrent ' of words, at the same time pointing to the howling mob, who, with him, are demanding the death of the prisoner. With a Pharisee’s self-assurance and a fanatic's obstinate prejudice, Ite has no sympathy and no toleration for any one who In character Pilate appears to be the In- the scene is a young woman of Raphaelic beauty, with her child in her arms, looking. compassionately, most believingly on Cnrist.

This sympathetic look is a conception of But the eye is always attracted first to Christ. It may embrace the whole group, or ‘wander from figure to figure, but it will always return unconsciously to the Savior, because the interest of every individual in the group is cen- tered on him, and because, in his sublimity, purity, dignity, he is in every sense the principal figure.

Phe Coroner’s Jury Censures the Railroad for Running Its En- gines With the Tenders Ahead. ALAMEDA, Feb. 2—Hoodoo engine 19 has added the name of Fireman Edward F. Colson to its list of victims. He died this morning at Fabiola Hospital from in- juries received jn the wreck Tuesday night at the Second avenue station. His wife was with him to the last, and the deathbed scene was most pathetic. They had been a devoted couple and Mrs.. Col- son refused to believe that her husband | was dead. When the dreadful truth dawned upon her her grief was indescrib- able, The poor woman moaned and cried by turns. She threw her arms around the neck of her husband and_bathed with kisses the face of her dead. It was with culty that the attendants led her away. When she left the death chamber she broke down completely and was taken to her home at 3165 Encinal avenue, Ala- meda. Besides the widow three ' little daughters survive the dead fireman. The oldest is 12 and the youngest 7 years of age. gl)o('edom was a member of James Mon- roe Council No. 24, Junior Order of Amer- jcan Mechanics, and the members will have charge of the funeral, which will be held next Sunday. Colson was born in Oakland and was 38 years old. He had followed railroading since he was 18 as brakeman, fireman and engineer. He commenced four years ago to run on the Alameda line. He was a great favorite with his associates, and his genial, kind- hearted disposition won . him many friends. It is a singular coincidence that both Jonas and Colson had been railroad- ing for the same length of time and had never met with an accident until the wreck Tuesday night of hoodoo engine 19, OAKLAND, Feb. 2—The heroism of Engineer Henry H. Jonas and his fire- man, Edward F. Colson, was still more forcibly brought out to-night at the in- quest. The inquiry into the death of both men was conducted by Coroner Mehrmann at the same time. H.

I am pretty badly hurt.” As to the cause of the wreck Jonas said nothing.” George H. Brown, an Alameda police- man, witnessed the wreck from a distance of 300 feet. He saw the tender jump the track and topple over and the engine the other wa; onas was suf- fering terrible agony,” said the witness, “and begged me to shoot him.” L. L. Shuler, Miss Jennie Stewart -and A. P. Thompson also testified. Frank Dooley, roundhouse foreman, explained that engine :No. 19 had been out of the roundhouse only about one hour when she was wrecked. The train was running at a speed of about fifteen miles an hour. The cause of the wreck was not ascertained at the in- quest., The testimony failed to show that there was a_ defectlve switch or faulty construction in the locomotive. The Cor- oner’s jury found that Engineer Jonas’ death was caused by shock due to burns by steam and injuries received by being crushed under engine 19, the same cause existing in Colson’s case, omitting injuries by being crushed. The railroad, however, was_censured in the final clause of the verdict as follows: ‘“We do further find that, while we are unable to determine the cause of the accident, we do hereby condemn the practice of running the ten- ders in front of the engines on the local trains.” D.

FAMINE IN CERTAIN RUSSIAN DISTRICTS Relief Work Is Being Extensively Carried On Through the Agency of the Red Cross. ‘WASHINGTON, Feb. 2—Embassador Hitchcock from St. Petersburg has - re- ported to the State Department on the famine conditions prevailing in some parts of Russia. The report is taken from the statement of the Red Cross Society in the Official Gazette. Embas- sador Hitchcock says that before trans- mitting the report in question he called upon the Minister of Foreign Affairs to ascertain whether or not the report as set forth was accurate and whether or not the Imperial Government would care to have the matter brought to the atten- tion of the public in America with a view of enlisting the sympathies and action of our people, who responded so generously to a call made upon them under similar conditions several years ago. Count Muravieff stated that the report might be considered official. ~Destitution following failure of crops exists in seven eastern and two central provinces of Rus- sia, and the relief work is being carried on by the Russian Imperial Governmerit through the agency of the Russian Red Cross, because it was felt that direct government might foster a feeling among the peasant class that they had a right to demand rather than to request assist- ance, even when their suffering was the direct result of their own laziness as well as the failure of their crops.
