" AsHINGToN, Nov. 4.-The last
vestige of doubt as to the prospects OF
an G ktra session of congress seems to
have been dissipated at the recent cab
met meeting. Each gentleman bear
ing d portfolio presented to the presi-
dent rough outline of the require
ments of the respective departments
for the coming fiscal year and all re-
port d that they would be able to have
their statements ready to place in his
hand SO that he might prepare his
message Immediately. The session
was one of the longest that has been
held for some months and it is under
stood that the question of an extra ses-
sion was discussed in all it's bearings
and that while one or two of the pres
idents advisors were opposed to the
idea the majority favored it, and that
it was decided that congress shall be
called together one week from to-day,

Heavy Clothing Failure.

CHICAGO, Nov. "A sensation was
caused in the clothing trade here by
the failure of the firm of Leopold
Brothers & Co.. manufacturers OF and
wholefale dealers in clothing, one OF
the Oldest in the city. Twenty-six
confessions Of Judgment were entered
up against the firm in the superior
court for sums aggregating $149, 900.
The failure was foreseen only by the
members of the firm and the collapse
came like thunderbolt to the trade.
None OF the creditors are Chicago peo-
Pile. Many of the creditors are COM
paratively small tradesmen in other
cities and all these have been provided
for. The firms solicitor says MEM
Der of the firm estimates the liabilities
at 1925, 900, fully covered by assets.
Henry Leopold, the senior member
OF the firm, says the failure is due to
the monetary stringency, dull trade
and the carrying of too large line OF
open accounts. The sheriff has taken
possession OF the stock. but Leopold
thinks his creditors will consent to an
arrangement for his resumption OF
business.

No Federation For Them.

>rTTsBURG. Pa, Nov. 3.-There will
be no general federation OF locomotive
engineers with brakemen, firemen.
conductors and other railroad en-
ployes. As stated last week. a major
ity report favoring federation pre-
scented at the brotherhood convention
in this city was defeated. Since that
vote was taken the convention has
spent considerable time discussing the
question, and has finally decided not
to federate with any other organiza-
ton.
The matter has been left with each
of the forty-fve divisions to act Ms they
may deem proper. They can, if they
wish, join hands with other trainmen
when differences arise between rail-
road companies and the employees.
This has long been adhered to by the
brotherhood and it is seldom the mem
bers take part in strikes inaugurated
by other organizations composed OF
railroad employees. The brotherhood
believes in maintaining an independ-
ent position, hence the refusal to adopt
resolution providing for a general
federation.

Kansas City Sensation.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Nov. 5.-Rallins
Bingham, son of the late General and
Mrs. Bingham. is forger OF his re-
Gently deceased mothers name to the
amount of something like $40, 900.
The crime was committed before
the death of Mrs. Bingham several
months ago. and while in her last sick
ness she learned OF her boys misdeeds.
1t almost broke the old lady's heart,
and there was thrilling deathbed
scene. She knew enough, however.
to cut the recreant son out of her will,
leaving him only a few books. and the
remainder OF a vast fortune went to u
sister. Young Bingham was thought
TO be one of the wealthiest and most
favored young men in the city until
the story of his escapade and sudden
departure from the city leaked out to.

The linton Pacfac,s Bowb.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The Union Paci.
fic has issued its second sensational
manifesto. Beginning on the LIST ii
absol utely refuses to pro-rate with any
other connecting line than the North
western. This applies to connections
at Missouri river points at and between
Sioux City and Kansas City. The man.
ifesto is the result of the boycott de-
clare ID by the Union Pacific connecting
lines ). It's effect is that traffic TO any
point on the Union Pacific must pay the
sum of the local rates unless the traffic
is turned over to it by the Northwest
ern. This, of course, is prohibitive
tariff except to non-competitive points
which in the case OF the Union Pacific
arc r1nimportant. The contest is now
one Of endurance. 1t is probably the
Union Pacific will pro-rate with any
line paying the increased proportions
demanded, but all the lines except the
Mort hwestern have refused to pay the
adva nee. The plan OF campaign is
marked out on both sides. To Mon
tana and Northwestern points all traf-
fic will be turned over to the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern; to Denver
and Colorado points the traffic will be
fairly divided between the Atchison,
Miss puri Pacific, Burlington and Rock
Island; to southwestern and California
points, the Atchison and Southern Pa
cific will receive the diverted traffic.
1t is impossible to estimate what tho
loss IN traffic to the Union Pacific will
be, but conservative estimates put the
figure at so per cent. The manifesto
was entirely unexpected by the Chi
cago lines, especially by two or three
which had almost concluded to accept
the Union Pacifics terms. Now none
Of them know from the manifesto
whether the Union Pacific will accept
their traffic on the through rates even
at the advanced proportions. 1t is
agreed on all hands to be the most
astonishing and iuexplicable bomb-sheD
ever exploded in railroad circles.

Caused by Carelessness.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Nov. Through
the undue officiousness of boy tele-
graph operator at Rock Cut, near here,
Yesterday afternoon wreck was
caused. resulting in the death of four
trainmen and the injury of number
of other people. Two coal trains were
side-tracked at Rock Cut, waiting for
the New York and Philadelphia ex-
press from the south. just as the
light of the express came into view it
struck Operator Clark that the switch
ahead OF the coal train was not set for
the main track. Immediately he dashed
out of the station. rushed to the switch
and threw it over. Then he realized,
too late. that he had been mistaken.
Before he could make n move to reset
the switch the express train rushed on
to the siding and crashed into the en-
CINE OF the first coal train. The fire.
men and engineers of both engines
James Doyle, M. Farnand, Michael
Burke and Jeremiah Lee. were caught
in the wreck and ground to pieces.
The baggage and express car OF the
passenger train careened over into the
ditch on the north side OF the track.

were very seriously but not fatally hurt.
All the passengers were badly shaken
up, though only one was injured seri-
ously--Miss Julia Corcoran of Buffalo.

1T MIGHT be thought that so simple
o question as the one of free pews in
churches would have been settled long
ago. but it is not; il is question in
the churches still-and it promises to
remain as long as the churches them-
selves do. The kernel of it is reveal.
ed by clergyman in an eastern viii
lage, who says: 1.-The free-pew system
lessons the attendance at the country
church. Men-at least men in tho
village to have what they pay
for, and set little value on that which
costs them nothing. No villager will
lose his own self-respect by failing tc
hire a pew if all his neighbors have
rented one."

Robbed the Big safe.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Seven hundred
dollars in cash and $500 worth OF
suburban tickets were stolen Friday
night from the safe in the Lake street
depot of the Illinois Central railroad.
The big five ton safe was drilled and
the combination smashed with sledge
and punch. 1t was the boldest as we'll
as the most expert piece OF work ever
done in Chicago. There is no doubt
that the thieves were professionals.
No clue was left behind but the Central
stat ion police are of the opinion that

who were recently released from tho

LONDON. Nov. 4.-The public is
heartily sick of the squabble between
Stanley and the officers OF the rear
guard. Unless Stanley tells all he
knows to some American interviewers
it is not likely that the public will get
anything approaching the actual facts
until Mrs. Jameson publishes her hus-
bands diary. Troup's book, which
will be ready next Wednesday, has in
it practically nothing not already
known, with the exception of letters
passed between Troup and Stanley con-
corning SANKEY'S criticisms OF the rear
column. Troups book remains intact
as when publication was stopped by in
junction year ago. | am told from
so lrce of authority that In order to
show up Stanley as he really is, Mrs.
Jameson will publish her husbands
diaries in toto, regardless of the IN.
favorable light in which her late hus-
band will appear by their publication.
These sufferings. when told, will be
very much like the story of our own
Greeley Arctic expedition. At Cape
Sabine Jameson was witness to at
least one scene of cannibalism in which
the legs of a young woman condemned
to be eaten were cut off. taken to the
river, washed and eaten while life was
still in her mutilated body. This is
merely an instance of the numerous
horrors that Jameson's published diar-
les viii contain. if they are not expur-
gated. and Stanley doubtlessly refers
to t ese stories when he speaks of the
chap piers exercised from his officers
reports. However, the public is dis
gusted with Stanley's Yelled Prophets
attitude and insists that he tell all he
knows or hold his tongue.

The Phflad eIphia Tested.

New YORK. Nov. 3.-The new steel
cruiser, Philadelphia, bearing the blue
penant of Rear Admiral Kimberly.
president of the naval board of inspec-
ton, returned this morning from a
forty-eight hours trial at sea.
The cruiser has been accepted by the
government, but this final trial trip
prescribed in the builders contract for
the purpose of testing her sea going
qualities and discovering any latent
weakness in construction which might
have developed.
The tests were in the main satisfac-
tory. although the board finds room
for improvement in few minor de-
tails.
Owing to the foul condition Of tho
cruisers bottom no trial OF speed over
a measured course was made. The
discharge of the guns developed de.
fects in three of the six-inch rifles
which will probably disable them.

PARIS, Nov. 5.-Pere Hyacinthe has
com menced campaign against cler-
icallsm in his own church with Wig
orous address. He said that the re-
pub lie was firmly established, but after
leaning toward Atheism there was now
danger of its lapsing into clericalism.
The pupils of the Jesuits, he said,
were beginning to swarm in the mill
tary colleges, and the republic threat
ened to become u clerical government
after the most bigoted pattern of the
South American republics. He thought
this was due to the republicans shut
ting their eyes to the power of religion
in S ciety. and he advocated the ma
ton al churches in rejecting the au-
thofity of the pope, allowing priests
to marry and abolishing the confess
sional.
