WABASH, Ind, July 3-Thls afternoon,
in a conversation with one of the leading
members of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, at Andrews a division point
on the Wabash, he said there was no oc-
casion for a strike among the men of that
order because the company not try
ing TO move freight. The Andrews round
house was full of idle locomotives and
the men were all out of the town enjoying
their vacation. They attached no import

of the order had decided to do work only

out three trains from Danville Junction
to-day. Mails that have been delayed here
since Friday noon were moved both north
and south. The first train TO leave was
the Nashville limited for Chicago at 10

tended their guard lines SO as TO include
all the Eastern Illinois tracks and yards
near the junction. No person was allowed
within the lines without written pass
from Colonel Culver, who was in COM

were also several deputy sheriffs and
United States deputy marshals aboard. The

HoImnp,s Views on the Bill.

WASHINGTON, July Representative
Holman gives it as his opinion that the
struggle between the Senate and the House
on the tariff question will end in a victory
for the House. 1T is almost irvariable
rule" said Mr.. Holman, that if there is
an Overwhelming sentiment in the House
for particular line of action it finds ex-
preston and overcomes all delays and OBJ
stacles Of parliamentary procedure. Mr..
Holman says experience has shown that
tariff bills, after being returned from the
Senate to the House, are subject to a good
many delays. The speed which the House
will make when it gets the tariff bill will
depend a good deal on the speed of the
Senate with the big appropriations" he
continued eff the appropriations are
crowded along then the House will feel
it to be its duty TO act quickly. But if the
appropriations drag in the Senate the
House will not feel that it is delaying adj
journment by discussing tariff l think,
therefore, that if the Senate acts promptly
on the appropriations the House committee
on rules will report a special rule sharply
limiting the debate on tariff. Under the
regular rules the bill would have to go
before the House in committee of the
whole for a full debate of the Senate
amendments, they affect material
changes in government revenue. But the
special rule will limit this debate, and it
will probably be the course adopted if the
Senate makes good progress on the appro-
priation bills"

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, July ga rumor is cur
rent tonight that Senator VOORHEES, is un-
willing to act as one of the conferees on
the tariff bill. The statement, were it true,
would present the case, unprecedented in
parliamentary history of the Senate, Of the
chairman of a great committee being I'M
willing to act as manager on behalf of his
branch of Congress in conference on
great bill reported by his committee. The
truth is that Mr.. Voorhees,, whose entire
purpose as one of the confereeS Will be to
take care of the Whisky Trusts interests,
is anxious to present the appearance or
being placed on the conference committee
against his will. Mr.. Voorhees, is more than
anxious to be one of the conferees. Were
is not so Mr. voorhees, would not have
made a formal official request of the DEM
ocratic steering committee, a. few days ago,
for seven conferees, instead of three, the
usual number. Mr.. Voorhees, is now dis
mayed at the indignant comment of his ac-
ton last week, when he made his eloquent
speech in behalf of the Whisky Trust, the
only speech he made any feature of the
whole bill. He is now anxious to be on the
conference committee, but is himself spread
ing the report that he is unwilling 10
serve, in order that his presence on the
committee will assure less indignation in

half of the Whisky Trust is generally UNI

Spirited Discussion Over the Number of

days session of the Southern Methodist
General Conference opened this morning
with a discussion Of the minutes of yes
terday's meeting. The secretary read ''the
twenty-seventh General Conference" and
this. was objected to by Rev. West. who
asked that the minutes be corrected to
read "The twelfth General Conference" DR..
Denny opposed the motion at some length,
claiming that the first conference was held
in 1884. "I hold.'' said DR.. Denny, that
we have as much right to claim organiza-
ton since 17S4 as the other branch of the
church. My wife had birthday. She was,
you can say, thirty years old. We have
been married ten years, and her maine has
been Denny only ten years, but she is
thirty years old. We have not been the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South. but
twenty-eight years. but We have been the
Methodist Church since 17S4"
Several speeches were made, and DR..
John o. Wilson moved that the words be
transposed to read: 1.-THE twelfth General
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and the twenty-seventh General
Conference held in this country" Another
lively discussion followed, DR.. r. M. Price
urging: There is no use to make ourselves
ridiculous. Our action will cause general
snicker all over the North" The motion,
however was carried. The remainder of
the session was occupied in receiving and
disposing of the various reports from the
different conferences.

CHICAGO. May 4.-Michael Schwab. whom

participation in the Haymarket riot eight
years ago. will speak at mass meeting of
"reformers'' at Sheboygan, Wis. on sun

promptu, and If my auditors are sympa-
thetic / shall warm up 10 my subject.
Schwab is an editorial writer on the Ar
better Zeitung, filing the position he held
when arrested. His editorials are more
than ever teeming with infiammatory senti-
ments and unqualified menace 10 the mon
etary interests Of the country. His term in
prison has in no way decreased the vigor
of his anarchistic beliefs. and there is a
pronounced rancor and bitterness in his
writings.
