Question of a Scale Will Be Settled To.
Morrow-No Strike Expected.

A committee of the Brotherhood OF Railway
T~elegraphers will be in the city tomorrow to
consult with General Superintendent Peck con-
corning the schedule on the Big Four. A press
dispatch from Cleveland says:
1.-THE telegraph operators on the lines of the
Big Four are anXiOusly awaiting the ultimatum
OF General superintendent Peck concerning the
demands made 10y them Nov. 1. 1t Is expected
that superintendent Peck aud his division as
sistants will hold a conference to-day In Indian
apolis TO discuss the situation and determine a
course OF action. About 90 per cent. of the op-
orators employed By the Big Four are members
of the Railway Photographers Union, and. should
the company fail 10 comply with their. demands,
a strike of no ordinary dimensions is likely to
result. LII a strike Is declared it is said that the
engineers and conductors will cooperate"
No strike is anticipated here, nor was there
any conference of superintendent yesterday.
An official next in authority to Mr.. Peck said
last night: "Mr. Peck Is today in Cincinnati,
and there was no conference of division superin-
tendents. The whole matter rests with Mr..
Peck, and he says there will be no strike. The
Big Four officials know where they stand. Gen
eral superintendent Peck will advance the pay
or some or the operators, but there will be no
general advance, and the statement that 65 per
cent. OF the operators are members of the Rail-
way Telegraph Operators Union is not true"

Seeing in o paper called the Progressive
Thinker what purported to be an encyclical
letter of the Pope, dated Dec. %. 1891,
which contained some very remarkable
declarations, q Journa reporter called the
attention of Vicar-general Bessonies to 1t,
reading the following extract:

United States OF America have forfeited all right
to rule said Republic, and also all dignity and

FIREMEN'S PENSION FUND
Suit Testing the Validity of the Law
Heard Before the Full Bench.
Covers Strange DISAPPEARANCE and an Insur-
ance Claim-Churchman to Admin
lister the Rice Estate.

The three judges of the Superior Court were on
the bench in Room No. / yesterday, hearing ar
gument upon demurrer in the case of the
Traders Insurance Company against Auditor
Henderson, to enjOin the collection of the assess
ment levied by the last Legislature for the Bone
tit of the firemen's pension fund. Several insus
ance companies have refused to pay. and flied
suits against the Auditor to enJoin him from re-
voking their license to do business in the State,
In accordance with the provisions OF the act.
These suits were assigned to the various rooms
Of the Superior Court, and the three judges pre-
sided IL tie case yesterday as a matter of con-
venience to save a useless repetition Of argu-
ments.
The Insurance companies raise the point of
oonstitutionalIty of the act, and contend that
the subjeotmatter of the act was not contained
in the title, and that it taxes the property of d
private corporation for the benefit OF an indi-
,dSnsx. without idSn giving ks amy equivalent 9, ,S;n oi AT

that IL was a dangerous latitude that was given

required to make q report to any higher author
ity, and was not amenable to any court in the
State for his actions, but had IN author

letters of administration granted to Elizabeth
Ryan and Vim. /. Ripley were invalid. Vim. +.

Cover. Strange Disappearanoe.

Announcement was made In the Journal Of
Saturday morning that suit had been brought by
the widow of Thomas ". Cover, of Riverside,
CAL, against the Masonic Mutual Benefit Society
OF Indiana to enforce collection on certificate of
membership held by him. The Journal is in
formed by the officers of the society that the
cause for non-payment of this claim is because
1t has not yet been shown that the member is
dead.
The facts in the case are these: A number of
years ago Thomas w. Cover. while living in Cal
ifornia and holding q certificate in the society,
left home, ostenslbly upon q prospecting tour.
His family claim that he has never returned and
since then they have never received any word
from him. About one year ago a claim was
made by them for the payment of the amount of
the certificate. The society, upon receipt OF the
claim, refused. payment until some definite
proof of death was furnished, and
immediately commenced an investiga-
ton. which resulted In the discovery
of what it claims is positive evidence that the
person has been seen alive and in good health in
another section OF the country, long after the
time 1t was claimed that he had died. The case
was then dropped, and this suit Is a renewal of
that claim, and to establish whether Cover is
renewed, and ir IL Is discovered that the member
died within 2 time that would make the society
liable the claim will be Immediately paid. The
society in this. however, is simply endeavorIng
to prevent a claim being paid where q member
is, according TO the best evidence it can secure.
still alive, and thus protect its membership
against fraud.
