Says the Minority Is Despotism.


TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 2.-The state board
of railroad commissioners yesterday re-
quested Governor Humphrey to bring
suit TO compel the Missouri Pacific Rail-
way company to relay the tracks of the
Kansas Central with steel rails, and Gen.
eral Manager S. H. II. Clark was notified
that excuses would no longer be taken for
his failure to comply with the board's
orders. Governor Humphrey turned the
matter over to Attorney Ives at once with
instructions to commence action to en-
force the orders of the commissioners 1t
is highly probable that unless the road 10
at once repaired according to instructions
its charter may be revoked and the COM
pany enioiDed from operating it.

incredible rapidity. The Cunard docks

stored. These burst with tremendous
noise and many were thrown into the

the announcement that the clerk of the

1t will be noticed that in the first case
the pressure was applied for ffty-three

the heart beat was still strong. and at the

appear from this hat the duration of the

the making and breaking of a contact. 1t

broken a very slight futtering was felt at
the wrist, which observation was con-
firmed by Drs Ward, Daniels, Rock well,

DISCUSSING TIE pues CASE.
Remarks at the Evangelical Conferenc,
at Indianapolis.


at indianapolis.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 2-The German
Evangelical conference opened Thursday
evening with addresses by Bishops Esher
and Bowman, the first being in German
and the second in English. Both dealt
largely with the church troubles, which
are matters of paramount interest to the
conference. Bishop Bowman declared
that he should hesitate to use bis power
except in extreme cases, and he then re-
viewed the history of the church rebellion,
comparing it TO the rebellion in this coun-
try, one being a secession because of state
rights and the other because of conference
rights.
Says the Minority Is Despotism.
The secession occurred at the last cen.
ference, when four conferences refused to
sign the articles of scquiescence and obe-
dience. Those seeding based their act
upon the charge that despotic powers
were given the bishops The minority,
be said, was despotism itself, as it sought
to,rule an overwhelming majority The
church, he said, was simply getting rid Of
q number of undesirable members He
protested against compromise unless it
was that the seeding conference return
with the admission of their error A del
egation would come, he thought, from
the minority to propose a conference
