CUTTING PASSENGER RATES.
The Milwaukee Railway Refuses
toPay Commissions.

At the meeting Of the Local Passenger
association on Saturday afternoon, Mr..
Kenyon. of the Burlington e Northern,
was in favor either of the entire aboli-
ton of commissions in st. Paul and Min
neapolis or the payment to everybody
alike. The Wisconsin Central and AL
bert Lea stated again that they would
not abrogate their contracts to pay COM
missions to steamship agents. Mr..
Dixon stated that be was instructed to
agree to nothing that involved the pay
ment of street commissions, when the
other lines agreed to pay to anyone S.
on frSt-claSs and $3.50 on Second-claSS
tickets, and gave the agreement to Mr..
Dixon to submit to his superior officers
to see if they would sign it. Mr.. Dixon
so submitted it. and yesterday he sent
the following communication to p. A.
Rockwell, the secretary of the Local
Passenger association:
Dear Sir: am instructed by Mr.. Carpen-
ter to inform you that we are ready and anx-
ious to enter into all agreement that will re-
suit i'll the maintenance of tariff rates from
ST. Paul and Minneapolis. But the proposed
agreement of Saturday will not accomplish
that result as experience has shown that
where commissions are paid to outsiders,
rates cannot be maintained. We will enter

MINISTERS SANS NERVE.
The Orthodoxies Weaken on the Univer'-
sity Question.
THE LIBERALS ARE LIVELY
Over Point Sprung by the Russian

man.
rHE LIBERALS ARE LIVELY

The orthodox ministerial association
came out of the university muss in a
backward manner, and the conclusion
is that, having stirred up the band
wagon, the ministers had rather not
face the music. The matter came up
yesterday morning. The special com
mittee that had been authorized to i'll
vestigate the unorthodoxy OF the
faculty came to the front with two
reports. Rev. d. j.. Burrell, OF West
minister Presbyterian church, submitted
one report and Rev. w. j. Lhamon,
the Curch of Christ, the other. Their
exact contents are known only to those
who were behind the closed doors, but
it is evident that DR.. BurrelPs idea was
very radical and he favored going on to
the final end, while Brother lannon's
proposed to recede from the position
taken and drop the whole matter as
il-advised. There was fierce discus
sion over this, and fragments of
pulpit eloquence fioated over the tran
som. DR.. Burrell is fierce, rapid and
powerful debator. and Brother Lhamon
can hold his own in any discussion. At
last DR.. Mabie, OF the Central Baptist,
hit upon the plan of referring the mat
fer to the individual ministers. Ibis
was agreed to, and virtually ended the
affair. 1t is generally believed Presl-
dent Northrup, of the university, VIII!
now have his turn, and give Roland

HUNG UP TO DRY.
What Will Be Done With the Di-
rect Tax Bill Is Puzzle.

WASHINGTON, Dec. St is still an
open question what will be done with
the direct tax bill, over which the ia
nous filibustering occurred last spring.
The Republican members will await
action by the committee on rules before
taking any steps to call it up, but it is
possible that they will have to take the
initiative. 1t was learned from Speaker
Carlisle to-day that he considers the
situation just the same as it was at the
close of the session in October, which
means that the committee on rules will
take no action. Mr.. Mills said he had
no idea that anything would be
done. Mr.. Randall gave the speaker
notice that he would attend any
meeting of the committee. Mr.. Cannon.
Que Of the Republican members of the
committee on rules, said he would ask
for meeting Wednesday or Thursday,
and if he does one may be held. 1t is
the expectation now. however, that the
Democrats will maintain the same posi-
ton that they held at the first session
upon this and other questions. Col. w.
G.. Oates, of Alabama, leader of the fill
busters against the direct tax bill last
session, was seen by reporter, to
whom he explained his position on the
matter. Said he: MY position is just
this. If the committee on rules, or any
member of the caucus who abides by
its dictum asks consideration for
the bill, l shall vote to carry out
the terms of the caucus agreement.
But if any Republican, or any Demo-
crat who was not in the caucus. or any
one who refuses to be bound by its ac-
ton, endeavors to call it up, shall OBJ
ject. The friends of the measure must
get it before the house under the terms
of the caucus compact; they can't get it
up any other way. don't believe" he
continued, ''that the committee on rules
will report an order for the considera-
ton of the bill, because when Mr.. Ran
dali, in furtherance of the caucus ac-
ton, endeavored to have the house make
the order, Mr.. eed twice objected to
the Introduction of the resolution, and
it was not received. That is the reason
why the bill is not now by order of the
house ready to come up without further
action

The First of the New Overland Fly
ers Departs From

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 3.-The
business of the railroads at this point
for the last week again shows decided
falling off. In the week closing Satur
day, II, 1853 cars were handled, against
q, 1897 for the corresponding week in
1887, loss of 1924 cars. This was
mainly due to the strike, little local
business having been done in the early
part of the week. The Bee line and the
''Big Four were the greatest sufferers.
The yards and freight houses presented
a lively appearance yesterday. The
platform men were busy all Saturday
night trying to load and unload the
great accumulation of local freights and
are still at it; but the officials of the
various roads think the blockade is now
raised and that in a few days business
will be moving along as before the
strike.

At the Grand.
The Grand opera house was crowded
with a representative audience last
night to witness the performance of
1.-THE Barber of Seville" by the Boston
Ideal Opera company. Although the
opera was new to the audience its splen-
did and harmonious score caught at
once, and the singing of Mile. DALI
mand created a decided sensation. Her
flute-like tones were a revelation.
Frank Baxter also. created a de-
cided impression by his wonder
full Improvement. His stage presence
is easy and picturesque, and he sings
in better voice than ever. Messrs. Balm
bridge and Mertens were as they always
are, sans reproche, and the little work
the chorus did was effective. The or
chestra is the best ever seen in grand
opera here, save those Of the National.
Tonight "Queen Topaz" new opera
by Victor Maase, will be presented,
with two prima donnas, De Lussan and

Henry E.. DiXey, in the bewltching
burlesque dream, "Adonis." will be the
attraction at the Grand, the first three
nights of the week.

DIDN'T GET THE FIGHT,
But McCaffrey Nearly Killed John
p Glow.

In a review Of the record OF Domlnlck
Mccartney, the boxer, published in the
GLOBE Nov. %. it was stated that he
had twice defeated John p. Glow. This
is an error that resulted from a miSun-
derstanding on the part of the writer.
1t appears further that when Mccartney
met Glow at Denver, Sept. IL.
1883. he was not given the
fight as he was to Stop Claw IN four
rounds and the police interferred.
Frank Hays wrote the GLOBE yesterday
that the fight was for six rounds, and
that he will take his oath that Claw had
the best of the last round.
There is 10 doubt, however. that Nc
Caffrey fairly won the battle in four
rounds. Under the heading, "a man
nearly pounded to death before 1000
SPECTATORS" the Denver Tribune of
Sept. 16, 1883, says: CLAW was taller
than Mccartney, but in no wise his
equal, either in science, strength or CHI
durance.
In its column account of the affair the
paper says:
In the fourth round Glow was terribly pun
ishcd Blood was running from his nose
and saturating his clothing. He was scarcely
able to stand. The blows he once warded off
were received with little resistance. FINALLY
he pushed McGafrey against the forward
ropes and there held him by the weight OF
his body.
A srCKENING SPECTACLE.
Glow rested his head on his antagonist S
shoulder. He was too weak 10 hold up much
longer Mccartney was too much winded to
make any desperate attempt TO tree himself.
The blood was then running from CLOVIS
nostrils in two distinct streams in plain
view of the spectators. CLOVIS, face was
ghastly. and he could scarcely get his
breath 1t was then the police interfered.
= The referee stepped into the ring
and gave his decision that Mccartney did not
succeed i'll knocking Glow out in four rounds.
There was loud and excited disapproval be-
cause of the manifest injustice. When the
police interfesed Glow was too weak to have
raised his hand, and was Of course knocked
out.
The Leadville Democrat, speaking of
the fight some time afterwards, said:
His ribs had been pounded until the flesh
had fallen off. Since that time he has been
confined to his bed, audit is feared that he
is on the route to the cemetery.

LIVELY LIBERALS.
A Dogma Knocked Out by Com
mon Sense.

mon Sense.
The meeting of the liberal ministers
yesterday morning was an exceedingly
lively affair, owing to the presence OF
Ivan Panin, the Russian critic, who at
tackled the reverend gentlemen in their
own tents, and gave them a severe shak-
ing up. The meeting opened with a
paper on 1.-The Doctrines Of Divine
Transcendence and lmmanenee," by
Rev. SCHNEIDER, of Saltwater. The
paper was simply question whether
God made the world many years
ago and has been sitting out
side watching it go ever since,
or whether God is the living
energy in the worlL that he created and
is creating ever anew. This latter is
the view that is held by the liberals and
supported, as they claim, by the Christ
ian fathers, Clement and Athanasius,
as against Augustinian doctrine sup
ported by Calvin and Edwards. The
essay was a deeply philosophic express
ion of the way and wherefore OF the lib
eral doctrine of God, Immortality and
the soul. The paper concluded With the
words: "The heaven of popular theol-
jogy is no more reality than its he'll.
CfIdIdcltl 10 UllC III
None of the ministers had much to
say in regard to the paper, but Ivan
Panin took the floor, and after explain
ing that he meaut nothing personal by
his remarks, declared that the ''whole
mass should be burned or else thrown
into the sea. You are all wrong, and
very seriously wrong. too. What do
YOU suppose the laboring man, the
farmer or the mechanic care about your
ideas of the transcendence or the i'll
manenee of God? What do they care
whether God is 1,000,000,000 of miles
away or somewhere close at hand?
Jesus did not study Fisk or Dar-
win when he went to teach the multi
tudes. He went out into the will
derness and brooded over the truths of
life and then came back and spoke them
to the hosts of the people. He did not
argue or metaphyslclze. Why, here
YOU are, the teachers OF men, quoting a
man like Darwin, who he himself con-
fesses that he knew nothing of religion.
| will tell you why you preachers do
not reach the masses. 1t is because
they ask for bread and you give them a
stone"
Mir. SCHNEIDER replied that he had
come to that conclusion, after long
course of reasoning, and that he be-
lieyed in a living God.
THE EPISCOPALIANS.
The Episcopal clergymen of Mime
apoIis and st. Paul met yesterday morn
ing at the residence of Rev. A. j..
Graham, where Rev. j. w. Troser,
editor of the Minnesota Missionary and
Church Record. presented an interest
ing paper on preaching to the Poor"
A discussion followed, and the general
opinion was that work should be more
thoroughly organized and that several
more missions should be added to the
seven now in existence.

relieved them OF a sad duty. The evil
