Cooperative Committees.
NEW York, Nov. GA meeting of the
original schedule committee and the co.
operative committees of the leading fire
insurance companies Of this country was
begun this morning in this city. F. C.
Moore, president of the Continental COM
pany and chairman of the original schedule
committee, presided. The meeting was one
adjourned from Hartford In July, which
was held to pass upon the new universal
mercantile schedule framed by the original
schedule committee. The original schedule
committee formulated the schedule
which is to be finally adopted by
the joint meeting Of that and the
cooperating committees, which meetings
have for some time been held at intervals.
The plan or scheme on which the commit
tees have framed the schedule, has been,
it was stated, to secure a rate on which the
fire cost of the past five years per 500 Of
insurance would result in a percentage OF
not exceeding IS per cent. Of the premium.
This it is claimed, in addition to allowance
for proper expenses, would leave margin
enough for moderate profit, and also for ao-
cumulation for periodical and inevitable
sweeping fires. The basis rate on "stand-
ard building" In standard CITY," the
committee propose to make 25 cents per
500 of value. This question was debated
pro and con, and finally made the special
order for tomorrow mornings session.

DOCTRINES OF CALVIN.
Chicago Ministers Repudiate the p

Chicago Ministers Repudiate the Pro-
posed Revision of the Confession.
CHICAGO. Nov. 29.-"Wreck Calvinism,
the backbone of the Presbyterian church,
the doctrine which in all time has given us
character, and shall be one OF many to re-
fuse longer to follow the flag of that
church" That was DIR. Herrick Johnson's
declaration at meeting Of Presbyterian
ministers at the close of three hours' ad-
dress upon the proposed revision of the con-
fession Of faith. DIR. johnson was a menu
Der OF the committee on revision, and only
yielded to few changes made in answer to
the general demand. The meeting resolved
itself into battle upon Calvinism.
PREACHING WHAT THEY DON'T APPROVE.
In the debate several admitted that they
were forced to preach that which their con-
sciences could not approve ani thereby
called forth the startled reproofs OF the
orthodox conservatives. At the close the
Chicago Presbyterians had placed them
selves on record as disappearing all the
changes made by the general assembly OF
the church at large. A report disapprov~
ing entirely of the revisions of the general
assembly com mmittee was then adopted by a
vote Of 35 to Is. A supplemental report
was presented asking the general assembly

a NATIONAL QUARANTINE.
The Subject TO Be Touched Upon in the
Presidents Message.

The Subject TO Be Touched Upon in the
Presidents Message.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The subject Of a
national system OF quarantine has been sew
eral times discussed lately between the Pres
ident and the Secretary Of the Treasury =.
and will be one of the leading features Of
the Presidents message and Secretary Fos-
ter's annual report. The difficulties expert
enced in enforcing uniform regulations at
all ports during the cholera epidemic durs
ing the latter part Of the summer has led to
a conviction that the protection Of the pub
lilo health from contagious diseases from
without ought to be under the care Of the
federal authorities.
Secretary Foster will discuss the subject
in his report and urge the convenience of
uniform regulation to travellers and ship
masters, as we'll as the greater degree Of
safety insured for Americans at home.
1t Is believed that congress has the power
to establish q uniform national law under
the provision of the constitution authorizing
the regulation OF Commerce with foreign
nations and among the several states. Such
a law would supersede all state laws and
regulations 30 far as they throw down the
barriers which the national laws ought to
set up. But any additional regulations
which state saw fit to impose for the
security of its own citizens would be recog-
nizsd as in full force. This is the same
principle which governs the law regarding
Immigration. Congress is vested
by the constitution WITH full
power TO regulate immigration,
but the state of Massachusetts and other
states have imposed additional requirements
which have never been called In question.
The President and Secretary Foster will
recommend that the control OF all quaraD-
tine matters be placed in the hands of the
marine hospital service under the authority
of the treasury department. The whole
force OF The national government, it will be
argued, will stand behind the enforcement
of proper quarantine and the revenue
marine can be summoned as an auxiliary to
the marine hospital service if it is needed.

RAILROADS WIN A VICTORY.
Their Right to Form Associations Ad
mitted by a Court.

Their Right to Form Associations Ad-
mitted by Court.
TOPEKA, KAN, Nov. 29.-The railroads
won a sweeping legal victory in the United
States circuit court here to-day. The At
torney General Of the United States bad
the pins knocked completely from undsr
him In his fight on the railroad associations.
Judge Rainder handed down a lengthy aud
exhaustive opinion vindicating the right Of
the roads TO form organizations and
associations for the regulation of busi-
ness and the prevention OF demoraliza-
tion In rates. He holds that by the organi-
zation OF such associations the roads do not
necessarily monopolize nor attempt to mo~
nopoliSe nor combine, nor conspire TO grasp
any part OF the trade or commerce among
the several states.
BY the organization OF such associations
they do not in any way relinquish any of
their rights or franchises as individual cor
porations, and even IL they did, the Sher--
man antitrust law does not In any sense
apply to common carriers.
Suit was begun some time ago by Attor-
ney General Miller against the Transmits
souri, Freight Association, to which all the
roads members thereof were made parties,
with view Of having the association de-
clared illegal and an order for its dissolu-
tion issued. Ii was regarded as test case
TO try the legality of the railroad assoois-
tions on principle, and therefore the victory
secured by the roads is considered all the
more important. The charge was that the
organization constituted a gigantic trust.
contrary to the act under which the suits
was brought, as well as 10 public policy.

TELEGRAPHERs MAKE DEMANDS.

The New Jersey Central Willing to
Concede Most of Them.
New YORK, Nov. 29-The New Jersey
Central telegraphers to-day made series
OF demands on President Maxwell, in<
cluding: That eight hours shall constitute
a days work for train dispatchers and cer-
tain block operators, and twelve hours for
other operators; that reasons be given for
suspensions or dismissals, a hearing per-
mitted, and IL reinstatement follows pay be-
given for lost time; an advance in wages
and payment for overtime.
Late this afternoon Chief Ramsay said.
"The committee has received letter from
President Maxwell in which he says the
company is willing to grant most of the
demands made. He agrees to the PROPOSE
tion that in all cases Of suspension or dis
missal reasons be given and
hearing allowed. He says, however
that the company does not feel that
1t can at the present time make the further
increase of wages. Relative to the question
OF overtime, he says the company Is willing
to make fair adjustment. He refuses to
agree to the demand that eight hours shall
constitute days work for train dispatchers
and twelve hours for other operators"
In reply to question Mr.. Ramsay said
the men would not bo satisfied unless Mr..
Maxwell signed the regular rules as the
managers of other roads have done.
The belief is general that unless all the
terms demanded are agreed to the men will
refuse to accept any modification OF the
agreement and that q strike will be ordered
within twenty-tour hours.

No Organized Movement to Bring Out
An Opposition Candidate.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-Whether there is
an extra session Of the next congress or not,
1t can be stated on the best authority, that
President Cleveland will discourage any
controversy over the speakership. 1t is un-
derstood that be thinks that it would be ex-
tremely unfortunate for the democrats of
the House to begin their work of reform
with a wrangle over the speakership There
is, Of course, no truth whatever In the story
that Senator Mills has been endeavoring to
stir up opposition to Speaker Crsp's re-
election. Senator Mills is not only a high
minded man of magnanimous disposition,
but is a thoroughly loyal democrat and has
been doing nothing of the Sort While it
is true that there are several gentlemen on
the democratic side Of the House who would
like to have Speaker Crisp's place there is
no organized movement in behalf OF any
one of them, aud no likelihood that there
will be. On the contrary, the present pros
pect is that Speaker Crisp will be re-elected
without difficulty.

KENRICK's COADJUToR.
The Priests of the Diocese Making
Hard Fight Against Grady.

The Priests of the Diocese Making a
Hard Fight Against Brady.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 29.-The Catholic
priests OF this diocese are in almost open
rebellion against the venerable Archbishop
Kenrick because he insists upon appointing
as his coadjutor Very Rev. ?. P. Brady.
The latter is not popular with the majority
OF the priests, who prefer the honor should
be conferred upon some one higher in the
church cabinet.
A few weeks ago Bishop Brady attended
the conference of the archbshops in New
York, carrying In his pocket a letter signed
by Archbishop Kenrick, asking the
hierarchy of the United States to recom-
mend the appointments Of Father Brady as
coadjutor bishop OF this province and to do
all in their power to forward his interests
The petition of the st. Louis priests asking
for the immediate appointment Of a coad-
1utor, and suggesting that he be either
Bishop Spalding Of Peoria, Fitzgerald of
Little Rock or Kain OF Wheeling, w. Va.
was also received by the conference.
A VICTORY FOR THE PRIESTS.
The petition was read and the archbish-
ops decided to send it and Father Brady's
letter OF recommendation back to Arch
bishop Kenrick, with a request that he call
at once a council of his suffragan bshops
to choose a coadjutor. This unexpected ac-
ton of the conference was virtual defeat
for Father Brady. or at least setback to
his hopes for advancement. So earnest
have the priests become in their contest
with the archbishop that to-day they Sane.

BRUSSELS, Nov. 29.-The committee ap-
pointed yesterday by the international
monetary conference to consider the pro-
posals OF Alfred de Rothschild will also con-
slider the plans suggested by NJ. Levi and
Prof Adolphus Soelbers Prof. Soelbers'
plan is to establish one gramme of fine gold
as an International unit OF value, and to
stop the minting Of coins containing less
than 5SO65 grammes of pure gold. The cir
oulation of the coin OF foreign countries of
less than the new standard will he prohib-
tied by countries signing the agreement,
and gold coin of inferior value
will be Withdrawn within five years
Private individuals will he allowed to coin
gold upon the payment Of an agreed seig-
norage. Gold certificates may be issued
against gold held in reserve. Prof. Soel-
bers' plan also includes the coinage OF silver
In proportion of twenty value units OF that
metal to one OF gold, but private individuals
will not be allowed free coinage of silver.
HOW THE COMMITTEE STANDS.
OF the committee five are avowed bi-metal-
lists, six are mono-metallists and one is
doubtful. It will sit twice each day. It is
the general expectation that M. do Roths-
child's proposals will be accepted by the
committee and referred to the conference
and governments, with notifications suR-
gested by the schemes Of NJ. Levi and Prof.
Soelbers. One Of the notifications will I'M
doubtedly be that all gold coins below the
value of 20 francs viii be withdrawn from
circulation and replaced by silver notes.

The adhesion of the German delegates is
considered certain, as Herr Decbend, for
merly president Of tho Reichsbank, ap-
proved the main lines OF Prof. Soeibers'
proposal.
The French representatives will also 40
cept the plan, which was communicated by
M. Tirard, the French ex-minlster OF
finance, and was favorably received by the
French delegates before II was submitted to
the conference.
With the prospect Of an early agreement,
nobody now talks of failure OF the conference
which at first WAS the only prediction. II
is reported that the conference 10 likely TO
