WASHINGTON, d. c., August 5.-Evi-
dences tending TO show that the force
bill will be abandoned or defeated in
crease: Il conference was held at Sena-
tor Quay'S residence last night. 1t COM
prised seven or eight Republican Sena-
tors besides Quay and four or five of
the leading Republican manufacturers
Of Pennsylvania. These manufacturers
were very positive in demanding an
early solution OF the tariff question.
They said that each days delay was
costing industrial interests thousands
of dollars and they demanded prompt
settlement OF the question one way or
the other. Senator Quay sustained his
friends and frankly stated that the
obstacle to the passage of the tariff is
the Force bill. He said he denounced
the Force bill when it was first pro-
posed and the sooner the Republicans
got rid of il the better. lie said further
that with the Force bill out of the way,
there was nothing to prevent an early
passage Of the tariff and adjournment.
Senator Quay has been stirred to more
active efforts against the Force bill be-
cause the Republican manufacturers OF
his State are refusing to put up money
for the pending campaign. The very
interests upon which Quay relied for
Doodle to elect his ticket are saying to
him in effect that they will not sub
scribe while the tariff is left in abey-
ancc. As the Force bill Is the obstacle
to an early passage of the tariff. Quay
is determined to exert himself To have il

on hand bright and early to-day The
morning session was occupied by listening
TO reports The biennial report Of the Pres

of other topics treated, the entire revision
of the constitution and bylaws was recon-
mended Messrs. Palmer, Kliver Lapp,

committee to report on the Sccretary's ad-
dress as 4 whole. In the afternoon the
convention resolved itself into a Committee
of the Whole, and the revision of the con
stitution and bylaws was taken up Every
delegate had some suggestion TO make, and
not much progress was made during the
session. The old constitution was prac-
lically wiped out, and TO use the words of
Secretary Mcclure, "The constitution. as
far as adopted, is up to the times" The
cight-hour question was given most
prominent place in the document, and the
strict enforcement Of the eight-hour rule
is urged in strong language But six arti-

THE WHEELING TERMINAL COMPANY
What Its Probable Intentions Are-CalI
for "a Meeting.

Yesterday mornings REGISTER contained
an item TO the effect that that the Wheel
ing Terminal Company, with capital
stock of a million dollars, had been incOr-
porated by the Secretary of State, and
there was great deal of conjecture about
the city yesterday as 10 who composed this
company and what il intended TO do.
This morning notice appears in the ad-
verttsing columns calling a meeting of the
stockholders for the purpose Of organiza-
tion, etc, signed by the incOrpOrators,
Messrs. +. p. Mcneil, f. B. Ross. l. G.
Dillon, a. NJ. Hamilton and A. T.. Smith.
An attempt was made by REGISTER re
porter yesterday 10 ascertain from some of
the incOrpOratOrs what the objects and
aims OF the Wheeling Terminal Company
are, but the gentlemen were mum as Oys-
ters. The gentlemen whose names appear
as lncOrporatOrs are only nOminally at the
head of the concern, and they are backed
by foreign capital.
And now to come down TO what the com
pany proposes TO do The clipping from
the Charleston paper says they propose to
build road from a point in Wheeling TO
Fulton, Ohio, which means Ohio county.
The line will commence on the Island and
come across the river, going eastward out
Market alley TO the hill through which a
/
on out the north side of the creek TO Fulton.
To accomplish this much the million dol
lars may be needed, in the Judgment of one
of the incorporatOrs. The million only
takes US across the Panhandle said he
After that there will be more The
probabilities are and the indications show
that the road will be continued on East
ward, doubtless TO the Connellsvlle coke
fields. How the line will come across the
river from the Island is not sure, but il is
rumored that theWheeling Bridge Company
may change their bridge into a double
decker. with the upper deck for railroad
trains which would extend clear across
the Island and overhead across the city
until ii reached the entrance TO the tunnel
in the hill.
II is known that surveyors have been at
work locating a line out along the creek,
between Wheeling and Elm Grove, and the
indications are that the future of the
Wheeling Terminal Company has some
connection with this surveying. There
have been several other ideas expressed
about the intentions OF this company. and
good deal of figuring has been
done by parties on the outside, but the
above statement is doubtless about correct.
leaving out details The whole idea is to
have line running eastward, TO connect
with another line on the Island. which
other line may be the Wheeling X Lake
Erie, which has already surveyed line
/ through the town OF Bridgeport and run
ming over into Kirkwood, at which place il
would come across the river and 90 on east
