They Will Meet in Convention at
Pittsburgh To-Day.

PITTsBURGH, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE twen-
ty-Seventh annual international conven-
tien of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers will open in Old City
hail this city, tomorrow morning. The
first days business will be of pre-
liminary nature, the real work of the
convention not beginning until Friday.
Thursday afternoon an open meeting
will be held in the Grand opera house
upon which occasion Mayor Gourley
will deliver an address OF welcome:
Hon. Chauucey NJ. Depew, president of
the New York Central railroad, has ac-
cepted an invitation to be present. He
will arrive in the city tomorrow or
next day, and will address the
Thursday. The other distinguished
gentlemen who will be present are Gov.
Campbell, of Ohio: Lieut.. Gov. Davies,
of Pennsylvania; p. Fennell, of New
York; ID. Hartigan. of Kansas; Robert
Jankes and B. A. Pickens, OF Texas :;
Bishop Whitehead and Mai. E. A. Mon
tooth, of PIttsburg. Chief Arthur was
busiiy engaged all day consulting with
members of committees, and this after
noon session of the executive commit
tee was held. Mr.. Arthur will not un-
ueTtdk6 10 atlIlOuflcc TIE IuullltuuG OI
items which will come before the con-
vention for consideration. One feature,
however, in the line of new business, is
the proposition to accept membership in
the United Order Of Railway Employees.
Mr.. Arthur does not commit himself
now as to his views on this mat
tel. saying it is question for
the convention to decide. Other dele
gates are outspoken in their opposition
to any federation. Grand Master Work
man L. Y. Poverty, of the K. of l., has
written to know wnen the convention
will begin work. II is believed by labor
eauthoritieS that MIR. Powderly will have
an important communication to lay be-
fore the convention. The character of
it, however, no one pretends to antici-
pate. The convention will remain in
session until all important business is
cleared up. This may require session
every day for two or three weeks. 1t
is expected that fully 600 delegates, rep
resenting all parts of the United States,
Canada and Mexico, will be present.
Many of these delegates have already
arrived in the city. and fully one-half of
them are accompanied by their wives
and some by their entire families.

Gen. Walker Thinks the Census
Was Honestly Conducted.
New YORK, Oct. 14.-Gen. Francis A.
Walker, who was superintendent of the
tenth census, has written letter which
Will be published III the Independent to-
morrow. Gen. Walker denies the
statement that he recommended Mr..
Porter for the position of superintend-
ent of the eleventh census. he having,
on the contrary, favored the appoint
ment of Carroll ID. Wright. OF the
work performed under the supervision
of Supt Porter, Gen. Walker expresses
his belief that it was honestly and fairly
conducted, while there is no good reason
for suspecting the count made by the DO
lice of New York city was not also hon
estly taken. The difference in favor of
the latter he accounts for by the fact
that the government enumeration was
taken during the season of the year
when many residents of the city are alb
sent and by the indisputable fact that
there has been large influx OF Jewish
and other immigrants since June, who
have now naturally been included in
the latter count. Gen. Walker believes
the counts to have been fairly taken
under widely different conditions and
demands. in the interest of justice, that
judgment on the census bureau be sus-
pended until that department shall
have been heard in defense of its own
count.

FISH HOLDS THE TRUMPs.
Minority Holders of Illinois Gen.
tral Stock PoWerless.

Hartford. Conn.,, Oct. 14.--At a
meeting of the Hartford board of trade
Judge Nichols, president Of the Ma
tional Fire Insurance company, who
represented the minority stockholders
at the Illinois Central railroad meeting,
made his report. He showed that the
majority of the stock was owned abroad
and the control held by President Fish,
so that the minority was powerleSS in
vote. But he said the result of oppo-
sition had been to secure two Chicago
directors this year and to show the
management that they were being
closely watched. The vote secured a
year ago for Messrs. Cooley and Howe,
of Hartford, forbidding extensions with
out vote of stockholders, had by cur
rent report prevented the large eX-
penditures contemplated that would
have opened lines parallel to the North
western u st. Paul lines. This year
the minority interest secured vote for
bidding Issue cf stock below par. SO that
for the present none is likely to be
issued. He said the Illinois Central
was great property. and it ought to
maintain itself from It's earnings and
pay good dividends. The talk of the
minority applying for a receiver was
pronounced foolish. The Hartford board
of trade passed a vote of thanks to
Judge Nichols for his services.
