THEY WILL MEET TO-DAY
The new Stockholders in the Street
Car Companies are here.
NO MORE SHARES TO Be BOUGHT
And the Companies will hold Con.
ference this Afternoon to Decide
their own Fate...A Great Many
Documents arc to DO Presented for
Consideration.

The proposal of the syndicate which
recently secured control Of both the
Wheeling street car companies, to con-
tinue to buy stock at a reduction from
their former offer OF seventy per cent,
expired at noon yesterday. 1t was un-
derstood that the stockholders were to
hold meeting yesterday afternoon, but
some Of those interested in the pool did
not arrive in time, and the meeting was
set for this afternoon.
Mr.. Champion, counsel for the syndi-
cate, aaid last evening that no additional
shares would be bought at any price.
A few are still held by tho original own
ers. At the meeting this afternoon o
large pile Of documents are to be passed
upon, These are doubtless the options
filed with Mr.. L. F. Stiiel. AT this
meeting the future course OF the syndt-
cato, and the fate OF tho roads, is to be
decided.
Meantime the public continues TO
suffer. A gentleman suggested Satur.
day night that ii the service was not
improved the city ought to take steps
TO deprive the companies OF their fran
chises. Two men who wanted to go to
South Wheeling Saturday evening, and
had boon told that the cars ran every
seven minutes, waited at the corner Of
Fourteenth and Main streets about q
half an hour. In that time not a car
went down Main street or came up
Market, and finally they left Disguised.

COMMODORE CLEVELAND.
The Next President Made Commander OF
the Yacht Oneida.


the Yacht Oneida.
New YORK, October 1.-THE most dis
tinguished party of the naval parade was
on the steamboat Howard Carroll, the
craft usedb by the naval committee
Vice President Morton. Secretary Tracy,
Secre tary of Treasury Foster and Secre-
tary Rusk were aboard. Governor Flower
and staff and Mayor Grant were there. as
was also Patrick Egan, Minister to Chile;
Tsui Kwo Yin, the Chinese Min
ister; Senor Romo, Mexican Minister,
Charles De Strume, Russian Minister,
Baron Fava, Italian Minister, Mavroyenl
Bey, the Turkish Minister, Sir Eyre Shaw,
of London; Gen. Horace Porter and Mrs.
Porter, Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant and Jesse
Grant.
1t was expected that President Cleve-
land would Join the party, but he did not.
Mr.. Cleveland came up from Greenwich
on Mr.. Benedict's yacht Oneida. Mrs.
Cleveland and Mrs. Benedict were aboard.
The yacht anchored at Twenty-third street
at noon, where luncheon was served. Dur
ing luncheon, Mr. Benedict said TO Mr..
Cleveland:
.'You seem to enjoy the Oneida so much
that 1 have decided to -"
Hold on" spoke up Mr.. Cleveland, II
can't afford to keep steam yacht"
Nobody asked you TO-" repheo MT.
Benedict 81 was merely going TO say that
l would make you Commodore OF the Onei-
da."
"How are you, Commodore Cleveland"
said Mrs Cleveland and Mrs. Benedict in
unison, saluting him, and so it was that
the ex-President was made Commodore
by brevet.
Mr. Benedict was in earnest, too, for he
would not give orders to weigh anchor un-
til Commodore Cleveland so directed.
Hereafter nothing can be done on board
the Oneida without orders from the Com
modore.

The DaH in Homssteaa.

HOMESTEAD, PA, October 11.-Thirty-
two OF the steel workers who started from
Knoxville, Tenn, for the Homestead Steel
Works arrived this morning via SwisSvale.
They were all white aud claim to be thor
ough woTkmen. One of the party stated
that they had gone South when the iron
industry boom occurred in Alabama and
Tennessee and had worked at Sheffield,
Birmingham and knOXville; that there is
now depression in the iron trade there,
ana that as q result they had been out Of
work for several months. They said that
there is general desire among steel work
ers who went South TO get back to the
northern mills if posSibIe Seventeen men
were taken up on the morning train to
MunhalL The person in charge said four
Of them had been workers in Pittsburg
mills. Most Of the men were Slays, whom
the company says are better fitted for yard
work than Americans. They handle pig
iron, beams, etc, with astonishing ease
Arnold Frank said thai this morning fifty
Of the Homestead Slavs had applied for
work and will be taken back.
Another unsuccessful raid for Pinkerton
rifles was made last night by the detec-
tives They thought they had fifty OF the
guns to a certainty, but when they entered
the supposed place of cOncealment there
was nothing but emptiness.
Members Of the advisory board seem 10
accept as a foregone conclus on that the
grand Jury will return true bills in the
treason cases. They expect however, that
there will not be any convictions on the
charge. The men are apparently quite
firm, but they are not as confident as they
used TO be, and whether il may be from
the suits or from the appearance Of the
mill, they are more and more suodued.
One hears daily here IN conversations with
strikers, that some brother striker is
weakening, but that it is hoped to keep
him in line.
The report that the government has
transferred the srmor-plate contracts is
not looked on with favor here. Conserva-
tive men say that the government orders
were the only ones which the Carnegie
Steel Company. Limited, was pressed Tor,
and il was because of them that IL was
especially desirOus for an early settlement.
Now, however, it will have no such in
centive TO end the fight and will be deter
mined TO prosecute the wage combat. 1t
was j. Miller COlgan, not j. NJ. Colgan,
who was released on bail yesterday TO

MErHODIsTs VERSUS CATHOLICS.
The Rock River Conference Adops Strong
Resolutions

STERLING, ILL, October 1.-koman
Catholicism in connection with the puoilc
schools received vigorous scoring al the
hands of the Methodist ministers here at
the Rock River Conference, which includes
Chicago. The subject came up in the form
OF report from the committee on educa-
tion, which was adopted, as follows:
"The American public schools are In dan
ger. The danger is occasioned by the very
thing that Washington said was not TO be
tolerated; foreign Interference. Against
this interference we emphatically protest.
Firmly believing that The Pope ana tue
Bishops are criminals against some OF the
best things in human life, we stoutly aflirm
that the Roman policy in America should
be put In quarantine. Compulsory educa-
ton is civil necessity in this country.
We must protect ourselves from the TIDE
Of prejudice rolling in upon US from ho-
man Catholic Europe or perish IN the
threatening devastation. Wherever the
Latin church fiourishes her people are
criminally kept in ignorance and the State
is wickedly denied it's independence. she
saws ''if the Pope demands it, the authorl-
tv of the State must be braved, human al
fections must be disregarded, life must oe
sacrificed Therefore reaftirming our
thorough confidence in the public school
system, be it
ResoEued, That we as church stand op-
posed TO any encroachment from any quar-
ter that would lessen the influence or d.
minish the vigor of this most essential fac-
tor in our national well being.

The Everlasting Small Boy.

One of Major Stofah's best girls-he
has dozen or so-has a small brother
who hasn't any use for the Major, what
ever. Several evenings ago the Major
went to call and it happened that the
boy was standing in the doorway and
let the Major in without ringing the
bell.
"Is your sister at home?" inquired
the Major politely.
"Oh, yes, sir" responded the boy so
pleasantly that the Major began to have
hopes. "Will you step into the parlor
and wait until she comes down stairs?"
The major, smiling all over, assured
the boy he would and passed into the
paror, where be found comfortable
chair. The boy went up stairs, three
at jump, and the major was tickled
more than ever.
The major waited ten minutes and
began to look over a book OF pictures.
This required fifteen minutes. Then
he took a straight, unocccupied wait OF
fifteen minutes longer. By this time he
was nervous and looked around 10 find
a servant. The house was dead still
and dark everywhere except In the par
lor and hall. The major was afraid to
act and remained quiet another half
hour. 1t was now nearly 10 o'clock,
and the major heard foot fall on the
stairs. He wasted most anxiously. 1t
was the small boy and he skun past and
opened the front door. Then he came
back to the parlor door.
s'SIster'll be down In minute" he
said, grinrlng at the stupefed major.
"I Just told her you was here and had
said you would walt till she came down
stairs. You're good enough waiter
to get job in restaurant, amt you?
Here comes sister now. So long. I'm
going out doors, where there's more
room to git away" and the boy fed as
the major made rush for him and al.
most knocked the girl over the hat
rack.
