They talked about her always wearing either

to the empire styles particularly and actually
never seemed TO the same dress twice.

well-known hnancier saws OF the scheme:
This consolidation of Nova Scotia mining COM
panies is the outcome Of the combination Of
the anthracite coal carriers in February, 1892
and the anthracite men are believed to DO
backing this new deal to protect themselves
against the competition of Nova Scotia coal in
the event Of the democrats abolishing coal
duties"
President Mcleod Of the Reading system Is
said to have been very active in the matter
lately. The New York and New England is
also in the deal and Mr.. Mcleod has pooled his
interests with Frank Jones of the Boston and
Maine road. 1t is believed that through Mr..
Jones the Canadian Pacific comes into the
project.
The recent visit Of President Van Horne of
the latter road to Boston. where he was in close
consultation with President Mcleod and the
New York and New England officials, is men-
toned good ground for the belief of the
Canadian Pacific interest in the combine.
The Finance Company Of Philadelphia, with
George II. Earle president, will control the
coal production, and the coal carriers have
reached thorough understanding as to rates
to the lakes and Atlantic seaboard.
II has been reported that q new company

the Head OF q Conspiracy.
CHICAGO, Jan. ll.-Rev. DR.. Conway, editor
Of the ST. Paul Northeastern Chronicle, has
to Europe. Father Conway is not
against Archbishop Corrigan, Father Lavelle,
Father Forranti and others, for the very good
reason that the disposition Of these charges.
that is the tribunal before which they shall be
tried, rests with the papal ablegate, Mgr.
Satolii. Father Conway trip il simply q vaca-
ton. He is a veritnble young Irish giant, but
he looks as brainy as he is brawny.
The interviews in the morning papers from
Bishop Hogan Of Kansas City, Bishop Nc
Quade Of Rochester, Father Lavele of New
York and Editor Condo Pallen Of St. Louis on
the recently revealed Ecclesiastical 'con-
spiracy" moved the young priest 10 make q
statement regarding the remarks Of these
gentlemen.
Father Conway said: 81 have reac very care
fully the az founding revelations made last Sat-
urday. To say that they have caused the most
widespread sensation OF the last quarter of q
century is to put 1t mildly. The whole country
stands aghast at the shocking propagandaism
which was taking place from New York.
For motive and for method it is as diabolical
piece of machiavialism has ever dis
graced the pages of history. man holding
one Of the highest positions IN the Catholic
thurch, ostensibly the friend Of that church
and OF its head, tries to diseredit the pope's
own representative and to reverse the broad
minded policy Of the holy father in reference
to the Catholic Church in this country
Whats my proof of the existence OF such
conspiracy? Archbishop Corrigan's own
letter written to q Chicago layman. When the
letter was photographed and published it took
away all possibility OF denial on the part of the
New York conspirators. There is HIS own
handwriting, there his own signature.
1t Was conspiracy against the
church. conspiracy against the pope. Arch
bishop Satolli, honest men. an enlightened
policy, and a conspiracy against the spirit and
harmony OF the United States. Aud the honest
man who received Archbishop Corrigan's letter
felt no more bound to keep it from the news
papers than he would to conceal the existence
Of a plot to assassinate respectable citizens.
The conspiracy was plot to Kill mems charac-
terS, to overthrow an enlightened policy and TO
injuro church and country. 1t was a curious
time-two days before Christmas. the season OF
peace and good will-for Christian bishop to
write his letter Of moral assassination.
He may talk about charges being preferred
against him In Rome. i am not concerned in
that. am concerned about the fact that he
wrote with his own hand letter, epoch mark
ing in tho wrong direction, and putting beyond

WAR On TIE BROrHERHOODS.
1t IL Claimed That the Great Railways Ar
Trying to Dissolve the Unions.

Trying to Dissolve the Unions.
CHIC AGO. Jan. IA local paper has the fol-
lowing: That all the great railroads of this
country, and the western traffic lines
in particular, are trying to effect
dissolution OF the various railway
brotherhoods seems to be a fact judg-
ing By the action of the officials of the
roads during last year. 1t is said that in every
case where there strike OF railroad EN-
ployes during last year all Of the roads pursued
precisely the same tactics in dealing with the
men.
In each instance the officials did their utmost
to GUST all men who were members of any or
ganization and to force many of the brother
hood men to forswear allegiance to their union.
In view of all this. those who posted in
the doinSs OF tho labor world are asking them
selves this question:: Are the railroads making
combined and systematic effort 10 destroy or
San;zations?'
The labor people say that since the inception
of the world fair it has been noticeable that
the railroad officials were planning some ac-
tons to prevent any possible trouble that
might arise during the months when the gates
of the great exposition should be opened
TO the world. They have followed
out thei- line Of warfare. which is shown In the
handling Of tho switchmeE's strike at Buffalo
and in the recent strike OF the telegraphers on
the Rock Island system. Many OF the miner
strikes throughout the country resulted dis
astroGsly TO the men.
The impression is prevailing that the roads
are making determined light against uniouism
and wish with one blow to destroy all orgaEiza-
tions. The rapidly decreasing membership
o! tine organizations bears out this
assertion. Many men prominent in labor
circles expressed the opinion that the rail-
roads were trying TO kill the organizations
why" said one, 1.-The trouble on the l. road
proves that the organizations are becoming
weak. In their present precarious state and
through their rapidly decreasing membership it
Is hard to tell what will be the result. The rail-
roads are making determined fight, and un-
less something Is done quickly the old brother
hoods of railroad men will be forced ont Of ez-
istence.
