When the board started out , It first made a tourof thoEllchorn. The ofllcials of that road wcro more than courteous and the private car of the general manager was placed at its disposal. Accompanied by General Super- 'Intendcnt ' Hulsoy , the board took an ex tensive trip , and everything was arranged to malic the journey agreeable to the state ofllcials who wore preparing to pass upon the standard of taxation of the Elkhorn - horn company on Its property In the state.

THE PAUIC COMMISSION. 'Dr. Miller Corrects nFew Wrong Im pressions. To the Editor of TUB BEE Permit mo the , usd of your columns to correct a few wrong Impressions tnnt appear to exist among our 'citizens concerning the powers of the park commission , as follows : CommissionerLoUo concurs with Mayor Uroatch in holding that the commission has no control whatever , nnd can not , therefore , bo responsible in any way whatever for the pollco of the city parks. This po\yer nnd duty' is lodged exclusively with the mayor and council nnd po- llco commissioners. But for a mistake in the published reports of the proceedings of last Saturday's meet ing of the commission , it would bo unneces sary lor mo to say thut it hns no power under the law to either Issue courts or to procure the Issue of bonds for- the purchasu of ground for parks except to ileviso plans nnd suggest thorn tothe mayor and city council. Commissioner Lnko advises the commis sion that of the fO'.OUO provided by the low 1of pant purposes , not ono cent can bo law- 'fully used for the purchase of ground for 'parks. This moaoy must bo exclusively ap plied to the maintaiimnco and improvement of existing parks. GHOIIOE L. MJI.I.KH , Chairman of Park Commission. Dentil of Fat her .Martin.

[ Copt/Ho'it ' l > u Jama Gordon Hcimrtt. ] LONDON , May 27 , fNcw York Herald Cabl'j'-Spocial to TUB HKK.J Andrew Car1 ncglo , who la stopping ut the Mutropolo , said ; I am onn of the delegates from the United States to the American lnto.inatlnnal conference which will meet at Washington uoxt fall to consider the question of commer cial und other relations. I want to make a study of the products ot the countries of Central and South America to prepare- my self to participate. . In the conference. I hear tUe oxuiblu will bo extensive , to I ahull have an excellent opportunity to get tbo knowl edge I witi. I belleva Iho conference will bo one of the most Important events of Pros- cicnlllarrison's ndmlnUtratlon. Heretofore America nas been unnblo to supply her own market much less export , but just now the situation is novel. Prices have rlson and nro rlalntf in Europe , nnd have fallen nnd nro falling In America , Stcol rails recently sold In Plttsburg ns cheap ns delivered in London by English manufacturers Hitherto English prices depended on the American demand. Now the demands of the rest Of the wprld , exclusive of America , ore , to- pettier with Unt' ' ! i wnnts. sufficient to keep t'uo inanutucturtii * hero busy. As long as this condition continues , prices keep advanc ing. America will bo able to export to South American countries articles which hereto fore ? hu lias not been nblo to compcto in with Europe , so there appears now tn bo a srrent Chance for America to establish moro exten sive commercial relations \vlth her neighbors. It Is n curious fact In this connection that the steel rails that Canada will require this season will , In nil probability , ba furnished by American manufacturers. I predict that such will bo the caso. This can only occur at times when European prices are high under great demands and American prices nro low under a state of depression such ns now exists. This has never occurred before in my time , though once before I sold rails in Canada because the English manufacturers , by combining , forced prices up. "Tho present situation results from nat ural causes , and promises well for America. The causa is the protcctivo system. The protection of homo Industries is bound to benefit America. The American would bo paving tlireo times ns inucli ns bo docs for stool rails had ho not protected that in dustry. " ' Would you use the same words : n spa alt- ing of articles other than B tool rails I Will America export them , nlsol" "Yes. Why , the day before I loft homo , Senator Warner Miller told mo ho had exported - ported a largo quantity of paper to Liver pool to bo used by a Liverpool newspaper , and that he netted as good prices as ho received ut homo. But , understand methis Is not likely to bo permanent. Whenever Britain's capacity for manufacture cannot bo absorbed at homo or abroad , she will throw her sup plies to America ns heretofore. "I read what ex-Mayor Hewitt said about the Basic process. It is true that the Basic process is the only one wtiich Is known that will nialtu the ores of the south suitable for steel , but as long as Lake Superior is nblo to supply pure ore , steel manufacturers will probably stick pretty close to the present acid process. Tlio Basic process is only peed as a substitute. I do not think rails can bo made by that process and sold at the same price per ton as they can now by the ncld pro cess. " "You and Mr. Hewitt do not seem toagrco on the steel question ] " "Well , ho doesn't know. I do. I am not holding that the manufacture of rails by the acid process nt the present price can con tinue prolltubly , for It cannot. Such prices uro only reached by the-throes of competition. But I do think steel can bo made by acid as cheaply as by the Basic process. " "Do you think that America will share in the , boom In manufacture which England is having i" "I think not. The two countries have be come much more Independent industrially than formerly , and America must find within herself her conditions of prosperity. " "Harrison's administration , " Carnegie said , "has started splendidly. The presi dent Is growing in popularity rapidly at Washington. At the celebration in Now York he acquitted himself so ns to win tlio highest praise. His speeches were models and full if good sense. A prominent man said to mo , after hearing the president , that ho voted for him , but had no idea at the time that he was voting for such an able man.

Now that the unfortunates who were so suddenly precipitated into the water by the collapsu of the dock , at Mnnawn , Sunday evening , have recovered from , tliolr tem porary fright , numerous ludicrous incidents connected with the accident nro reported. Fortunately there was no attendant fatality to render tholr mirth nt nil out of place in lanijlilng over thq matter , now that It is over. Probably tbo quickest landing made after tholacoldent was that of the Inevitable small boy , who thought the steamer was also going to the bottom , nnd jumped overboard , nnd swam ashore. One of the most amusing scones was tjiat presented by a fond mother , who went down with the crash , with an Infant of perhaps four months In her arms. The next thing she knaw she was standing in water about her waist , but the baby bad boon lost in the shufllo , and she was nearly frantic. A well known young Oinalmn was directly in front of her , nnd moved by some strange impulse , Bho seized him by the throat and began to choke for dear life , at the same time yelling in a shrill soprano : "My baby ; my baby. Give him up. Glvp him up. " Outside assistance was necessary before she would loosen her grip. The baby bad been tossed out of danger with scarcely a wotting. A young lady and her escort were In the bow of the steamer when she struck the dock' , and she immediately stepped off , Just in time to go down with the crowd. Her shrieks of "Save me , Save mo , " would have aroused tbo keenest attention of n member of the board of equalization had ono been there , but her bravo escort stood on the dock of the steamer , wildly looking for seine avenue of escnpo.

Ho Is a young , gawky country lad , who has apparqutlyt been car ried away with the Idea of wearjng a star. Ho carries with him a card Qtu 'ono of the numerous Cincinnati detective associations , und a little badge , which soojus to constitute most of his claims to being authorized to wear the title , The oolico' ' tiirn up their official noses at any ana all of this class of fellows. Added to this prejudice against these who carry stars in tbeir-pants pockets , there is a peculiarly local p l'uutco'against any ono who goes about the .qity . "smelling" for alcohol. Young Morford ran against both of these prejudices. They hit him hard. Attorney Sims , the legal head of the league , had him employed gathering up proof against the violators lators of the prohibitory law. The police ran the detective into the jail on a cbarga of vagrancy , and it is claimed that they treated him very discourteously , and that his prec ious notebook was destroyed , thus forcing him to depend on memory entirely for evi dence as to whom ho hud caught selling strong drink. The reporters have been filling columns With accounts of the youthful detective at tempting to get huah-monoy to prevent his giving information to the prohibitionist prosecutors. Altogether his past week has been an eventful ono. As a protection against the charge of being a vaarant , ho displays a bank account , and jingles some silver change. Captain Over- ton had had him in his employ since Friday last. Ho has been sleeping in Captain Over- ton's office , aad getting his meals at the Wcston houso. The rest of the time ho has boon kept busy defending himself. Friday afternoon , ns ho was walking along With Captain Overton , the pollco again nabbed him as a vagrant , and despite the captain's protests , marched him to the sta tion , but soon after released him on bonds. Saturday he wont to Lake Manawa with his employer. It is claimed that some of the gang who are Interested < n seeing the cold- water detective leave the city , attempted to got him into xomo row which would furnish an excuse for pounding him. They suc ceeded at last , but ho was getting the hotter of bis assailants when the officers interfered. Yesterday ho had a tempestuous day. Ho recites a terrible story ol his treatment while on his way to the Wcston house for dinner , and that a gang caught him , exam ined the contents of his pockets , and wound up by testing tbo kicking strength of their boots. Soon nftor this a young. Englishman , a stranger in the city , giving his name as John Tobin , kept following him , and evidently bent on getting him into an altercation. At last , while 'standing at the foot of the stair way loading to Attorney Sims' office , Mor ford was assaulted by Tobin. The latter was apparently drunk , and Insisted on Morford taking a drink. His refusal to indulge was taken as an insult , und blows followed until the two were separated and marched up fo the station , which had by this time become quite n familiar terminus for Morford. At torney Sims accompanied the party 10 look after Morford's interests. Morford was speedily released , ant } Tobin , who hud been warned to leave the city , but who had not taken tbo advice , was jailed. It is claimed by Captain Overtoil that Tobin was hired by some saloouists to thump Ifis. detective , and that in duo time the proof of , the conspiracy Will bo made public. - : "I tell you the prohibitionists are thor oughly aroused , " remarked Captain Overton. "Tho saloon men are just showing tboir dis position , and wo propose to 'nfiiko It hot for every ono who violates tho' law1. Wo have started five moro cases tbU ; afternoon , and wo will have every ono of 'them lined or jailed. It seems that the pollco are going a good ways to defend the suloous , but they can't drlvn a man out of Unvirbec'fiuso ho is a stranger , and they can't tnakd'u' fellow out to bo a vagrant who has money in , the bank , is regularly employed und jljasn't done a thing that they can bring U | > . ugaJuat him. " "What sort of a record bait i Morford had before ho cumo hero ? " , i < 1 "I don't ' know anything about what ho has bren doing , but I know thaV , since ho has been here no has not done a.thrag they can bring up against him. Ho hium't ' kept bad company , or been seen anywhere , or doing anything that was not right , except , of course , visiting such places as his duty uu a detective made necessary.

Ho pulled out everything that was loose without get ting nny result until ho found the throttle vnlvo. Then the motor started towards the lake with probably the laudable Intention of drowning the fellow. It jumped the tlo with n magnificent bound , but struck the earth with such force that the drivers were buried to the axle In the soft dirt nnd n permanent stop made. The loss of the motor might have buon rcgrottod , but if It had gone Into the lake and dmised the experimenter , it would hnvo boon u blessing. As It WAS , ho escaped oven arrest. Found , nnd Fined , Pollco court business took a docldod Im petus yesterday morning , nnd Judge Aylos- worth found hitnsalf confronted with a full scoreof individuals who had spent , Sunday night , or a portion of it , behind the bars. Ton unfortunates , whoso capiclty was not nt nil commensurate with tholr npnotttcs , were assessed the fine proscribed by ordlnanco for indulging intompcrntoly In forbidden fluids. Henry St , John , Carrlo Johnson , Notllo Jones nnd Sarah Smith had disturbed the Sunday peace and quiet , and wcro each cinched to the amount of $10.10.

Of the above lot , n round dozen were from the city of Sunday prohibition , across the water.

Morgan , 702 Broadway. Hobblnc n Hosnltnl. Some unknown individual , for whom the punishments of another world seemingly have no terrors , entered the collar of the W. C. A. hospital , about 3 o'clock yesterday morning , and made his way to the foinalo ward. Ho was seen by ono of the patients , who screamed that there was "a man In the house , " but these In chnrgo supposed that she was dreaming , nnd paid no attention to it. A llttlo later , the loss of a gold watch , pocket-book containing $2 , and a lot of ladies' clothing was missed. The burglar had de parted , without going through the male ward. As the hospital is supported entirely by charity , the contemptible meanness of the thief , in thus rolling tbo sick and suffering , is almost beyond belief. + Dangler vapor stoves at cost change location.

It tells about a pleasant little habit the snakes have away out in Aus tralia : Fred's room was boparatod from mine by a thin partition. When Mr. Watson left us Fred remarked that ho was quite ready for a good sloop , as ho was tired. As ho spoke he turned down the bed clothes , and then shouted foe mo to come quick , "Hero's a big snake in my bed ] " said ho. "Come and help mo kill him. " Mr. Watson hoard the remark , and hastened back before I could get to whore the snake was , Don't harm that snake , " said ho ; it's a pot aild belongs to my brother. It's nothing'but a carpet miako. " With that Fred cooled down , but ho said ho didn't want suuh pot In his bed , even if it was nothing but a carpet- snake. The Horpoiit , whioh was fully ten foot long , raised its head lu/.lly and then put it down again , us if it was quito satisfied with the situation and aid not wish to bo disturbed , Mr. Wat son explained that the snake had no business there , and without more ado ho picked the creature up by the neck and drugged him ofi to a barrel , whioh ho said mis it proper place. After he had gone Fred und I put a board over the top of the barrel , to make sure that the reptile did not give us a cull during the night. Poverty in said to make one acquainted with strange bed fellowHbut poverty can't surpass Australian bush life , where u man finds u snake in hjs bed quito too often for comfort.
