RAILROAD TRUSTS A NECESSITY.
What One Of the Best Railroad Strate-
gists Says on the Subject.

Jas. ]. Hill. president Of the Manitoba rail-
road, speaking of the Huntington railway trust,
as outlined in the Chicago Tribune yesterday,
and railroad trusts in general, says that in any
event the plan proposed was not trust, but
meant an ownership and control of the lines
mentioned as one system. He does not believe
that the Santa Fe would be involved in a COM
bination with the lines mentioned. In regard to
railroad trusts in general Mr.. Hill said that
the time is fast drawing near when all of the
railroads of the country would be consolidated
into perhaps six or seven great systems. He
cited as an example of this the continued
spread of the Vanderbilt system, and said that
other railroads would have to consolidate
in order to compete with such gigantic enter
prses. From Mr.. Hills remarks it is con-
jectured that he regards this consolidation Of
systems as an essential necessity, in order to
compete with rival roads, and with that as his
opinion it is believed that there is more truth
than he will divuge in the report of the con-
solidatiOn of the Manitoba. $500" Duluth,
South Shore and Atlantic, and an extension of
the Manitoba system TO the Pacific ocean west
from Great Falls, Mont. As to the extension
of the line to the coast Mr.. Hill is said to have
in'imated that it would be completed within
two years

Sharp Talk I'm the American Board.

Rev. DR.. Griffths of Boston started warm
argument in the meeting of the American
board of foreign missions in New York yes
terday by stating that he wanted a change,
i'll order that three scandals in the board
might be cleared up. It was a notorious fact,
he said, that the examination of the board
for candidates was simply secret tribunal,
which might completely ostraeise man and
utterly ruin him by asking questions which
they ". - I'D he could not answer to his own
heart. Such an act on the part of the board
killed any enthusiasm which candidates might
have for their work. If any man or woman APP
peared before The board and did not pass a
satisfactory examination he or she was branded
as Il hereto. Such things were not consistent
with the work of the board as Christian body.
and the speaker prayed God that the proposed
changes might be made and that the present
committee might be retained to do SO.
DIR. Griffiths was applauded, and when the
excitement began to subside Rev. w. w. Mere
dith startled everybody by saying: If this is
let us form one that is just soon as we can
start the wheels in motion. [Applause.l As a
pastor l want recognition. l cannot under
stand why 1t is that when any business Is trans
acted by the board the chairman turns his
back on me. The quicker this question is
settled the better it will be, for there is unrest
IN the church. You can sleep on it il you like,
out there is unrest We want q change"
IL was decided to keep the committee an
other year.

DIR. O'CONNELL INTERVIEWED.
His Views on Matters and Things at
Rome and at Home.

Monsignor O'Connell, president Of the Amer
lean college at Rome, who is now in Baltimore,
Is In the very prime of his physical and mental
vigor. Since he was here three years and a
half ago in attendance upon the Ecumenical
council his friends note no change in him, says
the Baltimore Sun. His hair grows luxuriantly
and covers a head whose handsome lines are
not often surpassed. In fact, DIR. O'Connell is
handsome man, whose dark face is full of
intelligence. gentleness and courage. When he
talks the magnetism increases, and no one can
resist his easy charm and grace Of manner that
must inspire at once ease and confidence in
those who meet him. His conversation shows
head as clear as MONDAY. He sat in his room
at the cardinals last night, busily engaged in
writing letters to his friends, and as he sealed
and addressed each one they fell in o little pile
beside him on the floor.
Now, what's the matter?" he said, in the
pleasantest manner possible, as he dropped
the last one and looked up into the face Of q
caller.
"What about the pope2'
"Well, saw him the evening before left
Rome. His health is good, very good but he
is a little depressed over the actual condition
OF things. No, don't think there 10 any likeli-
hood whatever that he will leave Rome"
"How does he like the United States?"
HE is greatly pleased with the condition of
things in the United States"
us there anything in the various statements
that Archbishop Corrigan OF New York had
been summoned to Rome to render an account
of his administration in answer to certain al
legged complaints?'
Il believe that all those reports are utterly
devoid offoundation."
What is the status of the church now toward
DR.. McGlynn?'
well, you know, as the lines of circle ap-
proach the center they grow smaller. 1t is very
much so In some human affairs"
Has the excitement in regard to the unveil-
ing OF the Bruno statue practically subsided?''
We'll, in Italy, as in all countries, there are
two parties or factions. One OF these is very
irreligious. We have in the United States a
number Of men who have no religious con-
victions at all, but none who show such open
hatred to all religion some of them in Italy
This odium which they attach to Christianity
is as thoroughly unacceptable there among the
good people as it is here. In this country the
government and public sentiment are much
more closely allied than in Europe. There they
are wide apart.
What about the successor to Pope Leo?"
at is against all our rules Of proprlety for
any one to speak upon the subject during the
life of pope"
DIR. OCOnnell went to the American college
as student in 1872 and became its president
n 1885.

EQUITY CoURr-Judqe Cor
Cardinal Gibbons on the Laws Delay

IRON the Baltimore Sun.
The last page of Cardinal Gibbons new work
"Our Christian Heritage" is devoted to a con-
sideration of the tardiness with which punish
ment is melted out to criminals. murderers es-
pecially. The views he takes are as applicable
to Baltimore as elsewhere. The cardinal saws: "A
crying evil is the wide interval that 80 often in
terposes between a criminals conviction and
the execution OF the sentence and the freauept
defeat OF justice by the delay. Human life is
indeed sacred. bnt the laudable effort to guard
II has gone beyond bounds. OF late wears the
diincuity TO convict, in murder trials especially
has greatly increased from the widened appii-
cation OF the pleas in bar-notably that of in
sanity. When a conviction has been reached
innumerable delays generally stay the execu-
cution. The many grounds Of exception al
lowed to the counsel, the appeals from one
court to another, with final application to the
governor and the facility with which sigma
lures for pardon are obtained, have COM
bined TO throw around culprits an extravagaut
protective system and gone far to rob iury
trial OF Its substance and efficacy A prompt
execution OF the laws sentence after a fair trial
has been had is that which strikes terror into
evil doors and satisfies the public conscience
The reverse of this among US has brought re-
proach upon the administration of Justice and
given plausible grounds for the application of
lync Oh law"
