CABINET IN COUNCIL*

Cabu ud HawatUa Affair* Ba« •*)** Cooal<J*ratkun -Utulli of th« Oo*•ramrnU Cm* Acalaat th* lukou PmW* Ballwd Ar**|mL Washi-noton. Oct 2.—The first meet* log of the cabinet since the return of the president from Massachusetts was held yesterday, and was attended by ♦very member, except Secretary Gage, 'who is not in Washington. The meet- j lng lasted louger than usual, in explanation of which fact it was said that several of the cabinet members were present for the first time in many weeks, and naturally they sought the ! opportunity to iuforin themselves fully upon the condition of affairs. Foreign a if airs occupied the greater portion of the tun.- given up to discus- 5 dsiou, though the prosecution of the government’s case ngaaist the Union Pacific railroad also came in for a good deal of consideration. Indeed, it is said, that the only action of the cabinet yesterday was iu the direction •of closing np this issue, and it can be staled that the details of the plans of the government have been arranged. The Spanish cabinet crisis attracted much atteutiou, aud was discussed at tome length. It may be said that there seems to be • general belief among the members of the president's official family that the Madrid crisis, if not making for our pood cannot be expected to injure us with Spain. This belief is based upon the idea that if a conservative cabinet •ucceods to the Aaearraga ministry, the worst that can happeu will be a -continuation of the present line of policy, for Spain is to near an end of aber financial resources to put forth more strenuous efforts to subdue the Cubans. On* the other ltaud, it is believed that a liberal ministry will almost certaiuly offer g>kh! opportunity ior bringing the present war to an end. The conditions in Hawaii, as revealed by Admiral Heard sice, was talked of, •ud with evident satisfaction the cabinet received the admiral’s statement that iu all his stay in Hawaiian waters his relations with theJapaneseofficials, on shore and on the cruiser Nauivra, were of the m >»t plea.uH nature. In •o case had there been the slightest exhibition of a purple on the part of the Japanese coalman ler to aileui.nl auv coup, and there were Constau*. exchanges of visits between the officers of the Naniwa aud of the United Mates warships while the admiral was iu port.

Washington, Oct. 2. —The agricultural department has been compelled t«* forego its decision to distribute this year's seeds from W.cxbiugtou. because of u decision by Comptroller Trace well of the treasury that such distribution would be a violation of the ia.v up ler which the appropriation was ma le.

Commercial failures, 5,874, with liabilities of §35.576,193; averaging only $S.S99 each, lower thau in any other quarter for 33 years. The j amount of defaulted liablities is the smallest in any quarter for five years, ; and in 15 years only sis quarters have j shown smaller liabilities. Manufac- | turing failures, 651, with liabilities of 99,431,191, averaging but 814,487 each, i and trading, 3.164. with liabilities of 915,835,965, averaging but 95,937 each, j both smaller in average of liabilities | thau iu any previous year of which classified records exist. The volume of legitimate business continues a little larger thau iu the aame month of 1893, for while the great iucre&sc of 37.4 per cent, at New York might be supposed due to speculative activity, iu spite of the establishment aud growth of the stock exchange clearinghouse, yet payments through the principal clearinghouses outside of New York exceeded those of 1895 by 3.5 per cent, for the week, aud 3.0 per ceut. for September. New York makes settlements for a large part of the country, and the. daily average, including this city, was iu September S.*66,564.(KK). against $134.►59.099 last year; 9133,319.960 iu >>94; 8135.733,099in 1893 aud 81:6,337.090 iu 1>92, so that the gain over the same mouth iu the best of past years is 17.0 per cent. The evidences of reviving prosperity arc the more important because prices for most manufactured products have advanced but moderately, and arc below the level • of 1 >65. while speculative markets are au declining with cu- ) lous uuanimity, as if the large crops, which make grain and cotton weak, would uot assure increased business to railways, aud warrant oetter prices . for stocks. Speculalion iu wheat and cotton has been set back by the bright crop prospects The wheat estimates of 560.9O9.0UJ bushels, about 399.909,969 bush•c+s more thau would be required for food and seed, leaving the smallest stocks for six years without replenishment, was followed by decrease iu forVigu buying and caused weakness.

LIFE-SAVING DEVICE.

A Valaalg* Attachmont for Lwomotln ! EatliM-Th* KaclM«r Cm Jio* Forge* Order*— My Iu Inirlllgrut I'm Collision* WkhiW be n Thing of th« Cut and n 1 Prolific Source of Human Slaughter , KUiuluated. St. Paul, Mina.. Oct S.—A very in- : geuious and valuable contrivance for : the saving of life by prcyentiug rail- ! road accidents through forgetfulness of trainmen has beeu invented. The •_ machine has just stood a very severe i test on the Great Northern railroad, j after having been previously operated J successfully on the St. Paul & Duluth road. Practical railroad wen in this ' section have given strong iudorse- | menu to the device after seeing its work. The object of the device is to provide an accurate and reliable reminder signal and distance indicator for loooiutives, by means of which engineers are prevented from forgetting their train orders as to stopping or j meetiug points. The mechanism is simple, but positively connected with the forward truck of the engine, thereby accurately measuring the distance traveled, the dial—placed in front of the engineer—showing correctly the distance traveled. Above the smaller of the two dials are placed 15 triggers or dogs. | pivoted at equal distances around the ceuter. W hen »the engineer receives his orders he sets one or more of these triggers to a point one mile short of the distance to be traveled before reaching stopping places. The mile- j age indicator, on reaching such point, releases the trigger, which starts a signal whistle blowing. This continues to blow for one quarter of a mile, promptly warning the engineer of the near approach to the stopping place. If the engineer is inattentive and fails t » stop when tlsis ast mile has been run over the machine sets the air brakes and stops the train for him. A train similarly equipped coming in the opposite direction would be stopped in the same manner and a collision prevented. The device can be made to run forward or backward. After a trial on the St. Fa ul A Duluth. and repeated trials on the Fergus Falls division of the Great Northern, the new invention was given an unusual test ou tile recent trip of President .1. J. Hill to, the Pueiiie coast and back, and the latter has approved it with considerable enthusiasm. During the past few months this new device inis been used successfully on over T.wvU miles of road. A peculiar feature of the test is the fact that it has been made with tiie inventor's working model. JAMES T. DRUMMOND. I'asH.liiK Viv iv of (lav o? St. I.tkiila* Millionaire rulmroo M.iimfitcuirer*.

Wasuixutos. Oct. 4.—It is the policy of Secretary James Wilson to extern! the operations of the department of agriculture along all useful liues authorized by law. lleceutly, after a consultation with the chief of the weather bureau, he decided to make use of some of the great fund of meteomUgical information contained in the weather bureau by having a monthly marine meteorological chart issued for the benefit of the mariners of the great lakes, lie was of the opinion that, by a study of the records of past storms, much useful information might be collected and published, showing a month in advance what mariners might reasonably expect. The first of this series of monthly charts was maiied from the central office of the weather bureau Saturday. It gives information relative to the present month of October. It shows the principal tracks pursued by storms in crossing the lake region. The track of greatest frequency is eastward across the ecu ter of Lake Superior. The storm track next in importance is a line drawn from .Milwaukee northwest to Alpena. The next in order ul frequency is a liue drawn from the southern point of Lake Michigan, northwest to Port Huron, aud the least frequented of the four storm tracks is represented by a line drawn from Port Arthur southeast to Petoskey, Mich. In other words, if during the coming month a mariner notices by the daily reports a storm center iu the region o! any one of these tracks, he can very accurately determine what will be its future course aud eau steer accordingly. The chart shows the normal wind direction for the coining month at each one of the weather bureau stations, and about the number of foggy days that may Iks expected on different portions of the several lakes, as determined by the records of the past *.’7 years. The text- printed on the back of the charts shows the location of ail the danger signals of the weather bureau, about 1-5 in number, and much other information useful to vessel masters. A typical cyclonic storm is shown in oue corner of the chart with the converg ug of the winds toward the center. and a wind barometer table of the lake recio;. is ino.u-ted in the text. A little study of the diagram of the' storm center in connection with the barometer table will enable- captains who have left port to determine the probable course of storm centers hist noted ou the weather bureau charts’uu

Ou the average five storms pass directly over the Sake region in October, a majority of which, however, can be safely weathered by the larger craft. Oeo L..ioually. an October storm of unusual severity sweeps over the holes endangering the safety of the strongest vessels. In the last 2b years-not mure than a ha i dozen such storms have 'occurred in the month above uaaieii.

Neal Dow, the fatuous champion of the temperance cause, died at his Congress street home Saturday afternoon. Gen. Dow's illness was serious from the beginning, and his case was rendered hopeless by the infirmities of old age. He had not spoken since Friday afternoon, but would occasionally recognize members of his family when they entered his room. Throughout his sickness he was most patient. Among the last words which he uttered were: “I am very weary. I long to be free.” Gen. Dow was ia his ninety-third year. He ■ came from a long-lived Quaker family. His fa- | tlier lived to be &> years old. and his mother j was a centenarian. Up to the time of his final illness he was in tire habit of ris.ug at five j o'clock every morning and taking a long walk. He would often drive SO miles in au afternoon, and was remarkably active for a man of his Gen. Dow achieved national fame as the fa- j ther of the Maine prohibition law.
