MANY IDLE RUMORS CIRCULATED
Text of the Pending .Agreement Based
Upon Certain Condition In the
United States.
New Yobk, Nov. 28. Dispatches
from Brussels state that there was no
voting at the international monetary
conference Saturday. The proposals of
Alfred De Rothschild, one of the Eng
lish delegates, will be made public to
day. General expectation centers on
the plan of Rothschild. The bimetal
lists are sangnine it will form a basis for'
the solution of questions before the con
ference. On the other hand the mooo
inetallists declare, in view ( the posi
tion taken by German and Austrian
de'egates and the probable attitude of
British representatives, the conference
is certain to fail and it will only be a
waste of time to prolong the discussion.
Rothschild's proposals will be in final
shape today. Among rumors in circula
tion to which the delegates attach im
portance is one tbat various European
powers will yearly buy 'silver to the
minimum amount of 5,000,000 sterling
at a price to be fixed by general agree
ment, on condition that the' United
States continues silver purchases to the
extent of 54,000,000 ounces. Tbe report
is generally credited that' Rothschild's
proposal contains the statement tbat "an
international syndicate should be formed
to buy silver until the normal value of
the metal is re-established.
The Submarine Boat.
Chicago, Nov. 26. George C. Baker's
submarine boat was tested twice today
on Lake Michigan in the presence of
two members of the torpedo board of
the United States navy and Mr. 'Baker,
who witnessed the experiments from
tbe - tug. Electrician McCarthy aud
Engineer Roe were the ; only persons
aboard the submarine boat. At. tbe
first trial tbe boat would not sink, being
,too buoyant,. and additional ballast was
secured. Another trial was then made,
proving more successful, but whether
wholly so was not made known. A re
port will be made to Chief of the Ordi
nance Bureau Folger, who will make an
official test of tbe craft in the torpedo
service. '
The Canal Inquiry.
New York, Nov. 28. Paris dispatches
intimate that nothing good will come of
the Panama canal inquiry. After ex
amining M. Prousl the court decided to
request the public prosecutor to inquire
at all the banks whether Prousl received
through any of them the check be is al
leged to have received. M. Kohn, sen
ior partner of the banking firm of Kobn
& R. Elnach, requested to be allowed to
deny before the committee the charge
made by Dalahaye that his bank re
ceived 5,000,000 francs from the Panama
canal compnv.
Another New Comet. .
Boston, Nov. 26. A cable message re
ceived tonight from European astrono
mers announces the discovery of a faint
comet by Mr. Freeman of Brighton,
Eng. Its ' position on November 24th
was 389 Greenwich mean time, right as
cension 10 hours, 29 minutes; declina
tion north SO degrees 9 minutes.' It has
a motion directly south of three degrees
daily, and is about six degrees south of
Holmes' comet. The Science Observer,
a comet circular issued here today, an
nounces officially two elliptic orbits of
the Holmes comet, one computed by Xr.
Kreatz and cabled from Europe and the
other computed by Luther Zears of
Washington.. The two orbits agree on a
period from six to seven years for the
comet in an orbit, which is more. nearly
circular than that of any other comet
except Fayes- The comet passed its
nearest point to the sun some, months
ag6 and is now going away from both
earth and sun. For a comet so distant
it is exceedingly bright, 'and should this
prove to be its normal condition and not
due to some outburst, there seems to be
no reason why it should not be seen con
stantly' for some years to come.
THE TRANSPORTATION FROBLIM.
' ' 'A ' ,
Inland Kmpire Terminals to Receive
just Recognition.'
From The Spokane Beview.
It is evident that there is to be a revo
lution of the transportation methods af
fecting the Pacific coast. For one reason,
tbe present system of discriminating
rates againt the interior is illegal ; for
another reason the railroad companies
have grown weary of the unequal fight
with the ocean carriers a fight which is
growing more and more burdensome for
the land carriers. The managers of the
old companies have partly realized this
in the past ; but the conditions were the
result of long growth, and they have
been loath to bring about the disturb
ances of a revolution . They have drifted
along under a desire to temporize, hop
ing that something might turn up that
would bring about a better-condition.
At last their hope is to be realized! The
Great Northern hri built through to
the coast, and President Hill, starting
with a clean balance sheet at the termi
nals, shows a decided disposition to
force the revolution which tbe old com
panies desired, but were afraid to pre
cipitate.
There is to be a readjustment of rates,
and the Inland Empire will almost cer
tainly be given rates common with the
terminals, and possibly a relative mil
eage rate below that charged for the
-through haul. At tbe terminals we
shall probably see a division of . traffic ;
the ocean carriers taking that tonnage
which the overland carriers find them
selves unable to transport with profit,
and the land carriers advancing rates
upon commodities which tbe sea ear
ners can not transport successfully
against the quick passage by rail. In the
end this will result advantageously to !
all concerned. ' The terminals may suf
fer some at the start, but as business be
comes readjusted, they will regain the
loss in the exclusive business which will
come to them by sea, and more largely
in the increased prosperity that must
extend to all parts of the Pacific north
west.' Tbe railroad companies, relieved
of the superfluous haul to tidewater "and
thence back to the interior, will earn
quite as much money as of old, and will
operate their roads more economically.
Energy will eease to be wasted ; there
will be a fair and even profit for all the
service rendered! and . with the more
stable conditions which these changes
must bring, business generally will be
conducted 'upon a safer basis. '
Civil Service Laws.
Washington, Nov. 26. The report of
General Rosencrans, register of the
treasury, says, regarding the operations
of the civil service law, tbat the most
important betterments during the year
are those indicated by the president's
order of December 4, 1891, aiming' to put
each clerk's efficiency record beyond the
reach of accidents, which chiefs may be
liable to make in recording standings.
RosencranB suggests that some defects
be remedied, among other things decry
ing tbe competitive examinations and
holding the monthly record of efficiency
greatly superior to. the haphazard re
sults thereof.
Needs Inspection.
Review. The secretary of the ate
board of horticulture is calling the ' at
tention of orchardists to an important
fact. : He says that much nursery stock
is being distributed throughout the
state, some of which is' liable to be in
fested with .the wholly aphis' and other
destructive insect pests. He says that
fruit tree agents should be required to
show certificates of inspection to the ef
fect that their stock is free from the
fruit pests.

A CITY DESTROYED
La Union, San Salvador, Desolated

RESIDENTS DRIVEN TO FRENZY
Processions Parading the Streets Pray
ing for Cessation.
MK DESOLATION 18 COMPLETE
Many Rilled and Injured Houses De
serted Further Disturbances
are Jfeared.
The San Francisco Bulletin of Satur
day has advices from La Union, San
Salvador, by the steamer City of Sydney
tbat an earthquake laid lowjhearly all
tbe houses in the city and those lei"t
standing had their walls bo cracked that
it is not safe to remain in them. The
people are living in tents and are in fear
of further disturbances. A passenger on
the City of Panama, which called at La -Union
on the way up and which was
subsequently passed by the City of
Sydney, writes that be went ashore and
viewed the ruins. The desolation is
complete. . The residents -of the city
were almost driven to frenzy and pro
cessions were parading the streets with
ringing bells, headed by priests praving
for an abatement ' of tbe' disturbances.
Many persons were killed and many
seriously injured. '.
, -. Needs Improving.
- Fairhkven Herald. It is to be hoped
tbat tbe ' legislature this winter will
amend the Australian election law so
that the results can be ascertained and
published much sooner than is possible',
under the present system. -Provision
should be made for separate officers in
each precinct to count the ballots as
they are cast. There is such a law in'
New York now and its operation is verv
satisfactory. The law in this state is a
very severe tax upon the' endurance Of
the election officers as well as the
patience of the candidates and the
people.
Union Pacific Wreck.
An Omaha dispatch to the Buffalo
Courier of the 22d tells of a collision on
the Union Pacific at A Ida, Nebraska, in'
which four trainmen were instantly

lision between the Overland flyer and a
freight. The freight train had bee a do
