Ready To Change The Power.
Underground Trolley Awaits Only the Letting of Contracts.
President Vreeland of the Metropolitan Street Railway said yesterday that since the State Railway Commission has granted the company's application the work of changing the motive power on Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, and Madison Avenues would be pushed as rapidly as possible.

All the plans for the change from horse to underground trolley power, he said, have already been completed, and a large part of the electrical plant has been placed in the cable power house, in Twenty-fifth Street, and preparations are being made for an electric power station at the foot of Ninety-sixth Street. The contracts for the actual work of construction alone remain to complete the preparations.

The work on Sixth and Eighth Avenues, he said, has been checked by certain legal questions. He and the counsel of the company will go before the Sinking Fund Commission Thursday to try to adjust these questions, so that the change of motive power may be pushed rapidly. If the delay on the west side continues, the material brought together for the work on Sixth and Eighth Avenues will be transferred to the east side and used for making the change of power on the Fourth and Madison Avenue line. It is possible, therefore, that the trolley cars will be put into operation first on the east side.

President Vreeland said that he expected that the change of motive power on all these lines would be completed before the end of this year.

Omaha, Neb., June 15.-The officials of the Union Pacific Railroad have received a communication from Eugene V. Debs relative to his co-operative commonwealth scheme. The proposition must be reviewed by the General Manager's Office. Debs desires a large concession of land, embracing many hundreds of acres. The railroad company has plenty of land in that country, yet the kind Debs wants suitable for an agricultural community, as well as commercial enterprises, is valuable and on the market at good figures. The matter of transportation for the members of Debs's company will be arranged as with any other colony desiring sales but with the land-donation proposition it is different. It is and always has been the policy of the Union Pacific Company to donate lands for colonies to a limited extent, and to encourage immigration by such means along its lines, but the Debs scheme is much more elaborate than the company has ever been called upon to deal with before.

He Painted Harvard's Statue
Howard Dunning of Cedarhurst, L.I., Publishes a Confession.
Cambridge, Mass., June 15.-Howard Dunning of Cedarhurst, L.I., a first-year special student, has confessed to the desecration of the pedestal of the statue of John Harvard on May 29 in a public letter. He says: "I sign this letter with my name, as I cannot face the position of sneaking through college life with such a concealment.

"I love Harvard, and I worked hard there. I painted the score upon the pedestal of the statue of John Harvard, but I never intended it for desecration, although I now feel that the student sentiment was just. After some time I may wish to visit the university; if so I should have no pleasure in meeting friends whom I thought would not be friends if they knew the truth. I should rather have the friendship of one fellow in the university who knew of this act and forgot it than the friendship of the whole university, if this friendship was based on ignorance of the fact."

Settling The Immigrants.
Arranging Accommodations at Barge Office-Government Will Reimburse Losers by Ellis Island Fire.
The immigration officials were busy all day yesterday settling their new official household in the Barge Office. The day and night Customs Inspectors have doubled up, and the detained immigrants are distributed in what were formerly used as offices. The Shipping Commissioner and Matron Boyle are still in their old quarters.

Superintendent Hickey of the seizure rooms has contracted his quarters so as to have space sufficient only for valuables. Other abandoned or seized goods will be placed in storage, excepting perishable goods, which will be sold at once on the piers.

Several of the damaged safes were brought over from Ellis Island yesterday.

There were 489 immigrants on the Aurania, Bremen, and Trave, which arrived yesterday morning. They were passed upon at the respective piers, and only those who were held for examination by the Board of Special Inquiry, fifty in number, were taken to the Barge Office.

The eight Hindu itinerant merchants whose goods were destroyed in the fire at Ellis Island were informed that the Government would recompense them for their loss, as it will all who lost clothes and baggage.

It will be two weeks before the bureau will be settled, and the arrangements will be made on the presumption that it will take a year to rehabilitate Ellis Island.

Trying A Submarine Boat.
Mr. Raddatz Gets Improved Results and Avoids Using Coal.
Oshkosh, Wis., June 18.-The Raddatz submarine boat, elongated and with stronger machinery, was launched to-day, and made a successful trip. It was found necessary, after a number of trips had been made, the first time she was put into the water, to add to the dimensions of the boat in order that more powerful propelling machinery might be carried.

Mr. Raddatz has been in Milwaukee for some time building a large engine of his own invention, to which power can be applied without the use of coal. Thus the smoke is done away with while the boat is submerged. The various parts of the propelling gear, after being set up in the engine shops of E.P. Allis & Co., in Milwaukee, were packed in small boxes and shipped to this city. The boxes were not opened until safely deposited inside the cigar-shaped hull, in order that prying investigators might not learn of Mr. Raddatz's valuable secret.

Saving Mount Washington.
How New England People May Keep the Axe from Their Forests.
Boston, Mass., June 18.-The announcement that one of the great lumbering concerns in Northern New Hampshire had added to its already enormous holdings by the purchase of Mount Washington has caused much lament at the prospective denuding of the mountain of its forests. It appears, however, that these fears are groundless. The company, which has come into possession not only of Mount Washington, but of the entire Presidential Range, the Bartlett Lumber Company, shares the regard felt by the community at large for the monarch of the White Hills, and desires to co-operate in saving it.

Manager Smith of the company proposes a popular syndicate for the purchase of the mountain-in fact, of the entire Presidential Range-whereby the axe will be averted and the mountains be preserved in their grandeur. His idea is for every person in New England to put in a dollar, thus rasing a fund of $5,000,000, wherewith to accomplish the purchase of the 70,000 acres comprised in the range. Mr. Smith is not exactly decided in his plan. In fact, the wish is at present father to the thought, but he is in earnest in the idea and hopes to see it carried out in the near future.

Very Hot In St. Louis.
Temperature 96 at 4 O'clock in the Afternoon-Heat Prostrations.
St. Louis, June 18.-At noon the temperature was 92, and at 4 P.M. It was 96. Since Thursday noon the city ambulances have had fifty-two calls for heat victims. The nights remain hot and to this are charged many cases of prostration.

Eleven persons were overcome by heat to-day, and all the cases are serious. The names are: Charles Boet; C.O. Bach; Hattie Grant; George Reifschneider; Henry Schirmer; Thomas Caine; Henry Haldenburger; Henry Wisezski; Chris Haberburger; August Seehausen; and G.W. Moore.

Traffic In Children
Chicago, June 18.-Mrs. Lizzie Murphy of 784 Van Buren Street came into the County Court to-day to assert her claims to the custody of a little girl, and in doing so makes charges against Robert Curran of New York City which are looked upon here as serious. Her story, which is believed here by the Visitation and Aid Society and the Humane Society as well, is that Curran brings children from New York, finds homes for those he can, and, after selling the most desirable, leaves the rest at 113 Adams Street.

Mrs. Murphy answered an advertisement by Curran, and got into communication with him. She says he referred her to 113 Adams Street, and told her to make her choice of the children she found there. Those she saw there were below three years of age, and not the sort she wished to adopt. Curran then told her of Charles Casey, who, he said, could supply the child she wanted.

Sure enough, she found a girl, May, and took her home. Curran told her no references would be necessary. Three days later Curran, she says, came with a demand for $6. She paid $2 and promised the rest. She did not see him for two years.

Eighteen months afterward Casey got possession of the child. When she wrote to Curran he told her that if she paid the $4 she would not have lost the child. He agreed, however, to furnish another; also that she must meet him at the station with $6. Mrs. Murphy introduced a letter to prove that May was cruelly treated.

She says Curran carries a card of the New York Foundling and Orphans' Home. Hearing in the case was deferred until next Friday.

There is no New York Foundling and Orphans' Home, although institution s with names very similar are in existence. The New York Foundling Asylum is at 175 East Sixty-eighth Street. The New York Orphan Asylum is at Riverside Avenue and West Seventy-third Street.

Winnipeg School Question.
Canadian Minister Leaves Ottawa to Effect a Settlement.
Ottawa, Ontario, June 18.-Clifford Sifton, Minister of the Interior, left for Winnipeg this afternoon. It is understood that he goes in connection with the school question. When Merry Del Val, the Papal delegate, was in Winnipeg, he pressed on the Catholic clergy the desirability of accepting the school settlement. They have agreed to do so, provided they can get one further concession. It is to see if this can be done that Mr. Sifton has gone West to see the Provincial Government. If possible the concession will be made, so that the schools may be satisfactory to all parties. Just what point the Catholics want cannot be learned. But it is said that it does not in any way make any departure from the public school system. Premier Greenway has always said that he would be willing to do anything that he could to assist the Catholics, providing they accepted the common schools.

Capt. Hart Surrendered.
Bondsman of the Laurada's Captain Asks to be Relieved.
Philadelphia, Penn., June 18.-Capt. John D. Hart, convicted of filibustering in connection with the steamer Laurada, who was admitted to bail pending an appeal for a new trial, was surrendered to-day by Robert J. Barr, one of his bondsmen.

The petition in which Barr asked to be relieved as surety was heard before Judges Butler and Dallas in the Circuit Court of Appeals, and was granted. Hart was remanded in custody of the United States Marshal pending the acceptance of new bail.
