6:20 : and leaving for the east at C:40. :

CAN'T WRECK COACH.
Erie Railroad Has New All Steel Pas
senger Coach , Said to Be Imper
vious to Shocks.
New York , Sept. 12. The Erie Rail
road company has received an all-steel
assenger coach , which Is on exhlbl-
Ion at the Jersey City terminal. The
car Is practically non-wreckablo and
will not burn. There is less than 300
pounds of wood or other Inflammable
material used in it construction , and
all of that has been treated with a
preparation which , It is said , renders
t impervious to hent.
The car is strongly built so that It
will stand almost any shock that rail
road service will glvo it. Its weight ,
which Is nearly fifty tons , and much
In excess of that of the wooden car ,
Is the only bad point , from an operat
ing view , but It is expected that designers
signers will profit by experience and
produce a steel coach of equal strength
sut of lighter weight.

AGREE ON PEACE PROTOCOL
Contra ! American Representatives
Meet at Washington.

inary meeting of the representatives
of the five Central American republics

ence was adjourned until Monday
next. The governments represented
were as follows : Costa Rica , Nica
ragua , Guatemala , Salvador and Hon
duras. Assistant Secretary of State
Xdee of the United States and Senor

only point on which any hitch oc
ourred was that relating to the pro
tocol to be signed. Two of the Centra1
American representatives were with
out authority to sign the document
without first submitting it to their
governments. One of those said 1
wan possible that this might involve
come trouble and perhaps the chang
Ing of the protocol in some import
ant particulars. Some delay , there
fore , Is expected to be caused by re a
son of this fact It IB not doubted ,
however , that a permanent peace pact
will be entered Into.
, * Bvierytiling wus exceedingly en-
couraging , " said Mr. Adoo , "and the
utmost good nature prevailed. "
BURLINGTON GENERAL MANAGER
TO ACCOUNT FOR PASS LIST.
EVIDENCE IT IS INCOMPLETE
Nebraska Railroad Commissioners De
termined Law Must Be Obeyed ,
Commodity Rates Not Lowered West
of Grand Island.
Lincoln , Sept. 12. General Manager
G. W. Holdrogo of the Burlington road
is likely to bo culled to account to thu
state of Nebraska on a criminal pros
ecution for the manner In which thu
pass lluta of tlio road have boon cer
tified to the railway commission. Com
missioners Winuett' and Clarke wore
in consultation and the conclusion
reached was that nothing remains but i
to carry out the railway commission
act by commencing a prosecution of
the acting head of the road in tha
state on a charge of submitting uu
Incorrect list of passes given In No-
brasluu
The commission has evidence oi
fourteen passes Issued by thu Bur
lington road In Nebraska that wore
not included In what purported to bu
a true list furnished by the road. The
law provldcu a heavy penalty. Thu
filing of a false statement under oath
may also be construed as porjnry.
The railway commtuntonors consult
ed with the attorney general and it la
believed here that prosecution will at
once bo commenced by him.
The Burlington will also bo proceed
ed agaltiBt by the railway commission
on the charge of failure to put into
effect the 15 per cent reductions in
certain commodity rates specified by
the Aldrlch bill , west of Grand Island.
The commission haa not received thu
schedules showing the reduction west
of this point. The law provides for the
arrest of the officials responsible and
heavy penalties on conviction.
The railway commission has post
poned indefinitely the grain rate hear
ing begun here and suddenly stopped
by the Injunction Issued In the federal
court. The coses will bo hold up pond'
ing judicial determination of the suit.
Senator Aldrlch , attorney for the

Omaha Man Has Safe Plurality for
Railroad Commissioner.
Omaha , Sopt. 12. Douglas county
gave Henry T. Clarke , Jr. , a plurality
of nearly 3,000 for railroad comiuls
sioner , which secures hla nomination
beyond a chance. Returns from the
ninety counties of the state have now
been secured , and unless xomo glaring
mistake has been made in the figures
Clarke leads Caldwell by 303 on the
final count. The canvass by the state
board Is not likely to change tbes
figures seriously. Much delay was ex
perlencod In securing the final returns
from the outlying counties and uncer
talnty as to the outcome existed unti
the last oue bad come In ami

Worst of Trouble Is Over.

Stickney of the Chicago Great W 6t
ern road has returned from Europe.
Unlike some other railmd men , he la
not worried because Wall street has
bad to sell a few of Its autoi.
"I think the worst of the trouble is
over , " Mr. Stickney said. "Some
things that have happened may be an
nounced later , that ia , some concerns
that have got Into difficulties may
have to suspend , som * eastern con
cerns I mean. But I don't expect the
trouble to spread to the west or grow
more serious In the east. No , the for
eigners have not lost any of their
faith In American investments. They
think it is simply a Yankee antic to
put stocks up and knock them down
again. It has often happened before
and the foreigners are used to it. It
does not shake their confidence in oui
securities. "
