PEACEFUL ELKS
THE DIVISION IN THE RANKS NOT
HEALED.
Progress Made Towards Consolida-
ton and the Numbers of Lodges
Who Adhere to the James
town Faction Consider
ably Increased.

BUFFALO, N. Y, May 22.-The
peace convention of the Elks end
ed with an excursion to Niagara
Falls today. The expectation
that the two warning factions
would be brought together by the
conference has only in a measure
been fulfilled as yet, and time only
will show whether the action
taken will end in one grand organ
ization or not. The result Of the
peace conference has been to
strengthen the Jamestown faction
and correspondingly weaken the
other, as nearly all the Atlantic
City lodges represented in the con-
ference have Joined hands with the
Jamestown faction. With this as
a nucleus, the larger body hopes
gradually to gather in majority
OF the opposing lodges. The
number of the Atlantic City lodges
which were welded with the
jamestown lodges, is reckoned at
about 30. The joining of forces was
accomplished and ratified in the
election of officers. The James
town grand lodge elected officers,
whose names were submitted by
the peace conference. Those Off
GERS were officially and formally
endorsed by the conference. All
this was not, however, accomplish
ed without opposition. Chairman
Jewell offered as minority report
that the conference recommended
the subordinate lodges to acknow-
ledge the authority of the grand
lodge which met at Atlantic City
in June, 1894. This provoked the
warmest speech OF the conference
from Jerome B. Fisher, Of
jamestown. Mr.. Fisher charged
Edwin B. Hay, leader of the
Atlantic City faction, with bad
faith in not being present
at the conference. "But despite
his attempts" continued Mr..
Fisher, "the conference will not be
failure, for it represents the vir-
tue, the brains, the manhood and
the spirit of the Benevolent Pro-
tective Order Of Elks of the United
States"
Mr.. Fisher then spoke of the cor
ruption in the eastern lodges, the
ones who were holding aloof from
the peace conference. He said
these lodges had failed as yet to see
the handwriting on the wall which
plainly showed that the future Of
the Order was be in the south
and west.
Mr.. JEWELS minority report was
finally defeated, only four voting
in favor of it. The conference then
adjourned and the grand lodge met
to elect officers.
The following was the result Of
of the election:
Grand Exalted Ruler, Hon.
Meade d. Detweiler, Harrisburg,
Pa.
Grand Treasurer-Edward S. Or

THE COMING WEEK IN CONGRESS,
A Vote May Be Reached ON the

BY TIE HERALp,s Leased Wire.

By THE HERALD's Leased Wire.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-lhe senate will
undoubtedly adjourn tomorrow coon af-
ter the hour of meeting as mark OF re-
spect to Representative Post. On Tues
day the Nicaragua canal bill will again
be before the senate, and the regular
proceedings of the week will begin with
speech in support of the measure OF
Senator Mitchell of Oregon. The friends
of the canal bill are hopeful that vote
may be reached some time during the
week, but whether it will attain that
important stage will depend up
on the persistency of the oppo-
sition and the interference of
the business Of the opposition commit
tee. The pension appropriation bill 10
the only appropriation bill now before
the senate and it is not believed it's con-
siderstion will consume much time but
there is an opinion that the urgent de-
fciencY bill will be- reported during the
week and in case it should be and effort
is made to call it up it is to be the basis
for numerous speeches on the sppropria-
tions for carrying the income tax into
effect.
While the opponents Of the income
tax generally dissvow any intention to
defeat the appropriation, they openly
confess their purpose OF using it as a
text for speeches on the general policy
imposing such tax. The probabilities
are, however, against any effort to secure
consideration of this bill during the
week.
1t is likely two or three speeches will
be made against the canal bill during
the week, aud there are still others anx-
ious to vote in it's support. The advo-
Gates OF the canal bill are beginning to
grow somewhat anxious to reach vote.
as they suepect an effort to hold this off
until it may be possible to displace the
bill entirely with some other measure,
or if this be avoided and the bill passed
it will reach the house too late to secure
consideration during the present ses-
zion.
The general understanding is now that
when the Nicaraguan canal bill shall be
disposed of by the senate the bank
ruptcy bill will be taken up. and aaiter
that the territorial admission bills will
receive attention.

The Currsncy Bill viii Occupy the

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The coming
week promises to be a most eventful
one in the house of representatives. 1t
will no. only determine the fate of the
Carlisle currency bill, 80 far as the lower
branch of congress is concerned, but in
the event OF the defeat OF the measure
it will have far-reaching effect on the
currency question and on the policy Of
congress- and the administration.
The Democratic house caucus which
will convene at 3 O'Clock tomorrow
afternoon, unless postponed on account
of the death of Representative Post,
will be the first important step. and it
is expected to test whether any bill can
command majority and what form of
a bill it will be. The house will adjourn
Immediately after its assem blage out of
respect for General Post. A rule fixing
the future course Of debate will not be
introduced until Tuesday, and its terms
will depend largely upon the events of
the caucus. 1t had been hoped to get
final vote by Tuesday or Wednesday,
but Mr.. Springer, who is in charge of
the bill, Gays it mey be necessary to let
the debate run through the week.
There ia evidence, however, that q
coup d. etat will be put into execution
by Tuesday by those opposed to the bill.
This will be motion to strike out all
after the enacting clause, which would
be equivalent to a motion to kill the bill
1t was by stroke o. this kind that the
Morrison tariff bill was summarily killed
long before its friends had anticipated q
final vote. The lenders of the house
have been consulted and have agreed
that this move is regular and in accord
ance with the rules. They are expects
ing the move, although it is not posi-
lively known that it will be execute
If an early vote is thus precipitatsd. and
all the bill after the enacting CLAUSE
struck out. it would do away with the
five-minute debate and put a summary
end to the trouble. If, however, the
motion to strike out should fail to secure
majority. the fve-mlnute debate would
proceed until the final vote was taken.
There is no programme for the week
beyond the currency bill, as this meas
ure will exclude consideration of every
thing else until it ia settled.

An Atrooious Murder in New FORKS
Chinatown.
New YORK. Jan. 6.--Mott street in
Chinatown was the scene early this
morning of q shocking murder. The
victim, Bridget German, was burned to
death. The murderess, Lizzie Brown,
one of the most notorious characters in
that section. used a lighted kerosene
lamp for weapon. During the quarrel
she threw the lamp at her victim.
1t broke, the flaming oil set fire to her
clothing and in an instant the unfortun-
ate woman was in a mass OF flames.
Apparently not a bit moved by her
dreadful work, the murderess stood for
several moments watching her victim
writhe in agony and was captured later

On London 'Change.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-The review OF the
year at the stock exchange shows that
on the whole. with the exception Of the
values of securities of defaulting South
American governments and American
railway securities, prices distinctly sd-
vanced. The latest prices were near the
highest of the year. while all first-clses
stocks are so high that the return to in-
vestors at present value is exceedingly
small. During the week the markets
we're fairly buoyant and active.
The Paris settlement caused heavy
realization in the mining market and a
constant decline in values, but the i'm
activity WAS unimpsired. Argentine
securities were depressed. No rescue of
the market for American securities from
the existing stagnstion is looked for
until the currency question is solved. 1t
ia believed that the coming year will
show an improvement. Central Pacific
declined three-fourths. Small and frsc-
tional declines were made in other
American securities.

JUSTICE MCFARLAND DISSENTS.
Decision in the Railroad Tax
Suit.
The Southern Pacific Must Pay Its
Back Taxes.
Amount Involved with Interest and At
torneys' Fees 10 Nearly a MIL
IioH Dollars.

By THE HERALD's Leased Wire.
SAN Francisco. Jan. 6.-The supreme
court yesterday filed its decision in the
six cases involving the Pscifc railroad
taxes for 1887 and the decision was
against the railroad companies. Superb.
or Judge Hubbard's declaration that the
railroad assessments for 1887 we're valid
was sustained. His award OF fees to
Langhorne and Miller. who began and
pressed the litigation, was affirmed, but
the fees which he granted to Aylett r.
Cotton were stricken out.
The supreme court found that inter-
est on unpaid taxes was not imposed by
the statutes and the amount decreed by
Judge Hubbard for interest was disal-
lowed. The penalty of five per cent is
included in the sum each OF the rail-
road corporations must pay.
NEARLY A MILLION.
The opinion of the court was written
by Justice Harrison. The decision set
ties points which the railroads have
been raising for years to avoid aging
these taxes.
The railroad companies may find some
consolation in the fact that they save
over $1,000 in interest and the fees
| allowed one lawyer. The companies
will have to pay, however, the amount
OF the taxes, which will be- $647 800.
| with per cent penalty and Langhorne
d Miller's fees, about $4S, 800.
The decision declares. among other
| sr-ka 49, IL ~
assess q railroad at its value without de-
Quoting the amount of its mortgages, as
is done in the assessment of other prop
erty. The supreme court also rejects
the contention that the assessment in
question ia void for the reseon that it
includea the franchise received by the
railroad companies from the United
States. 1t was commended that the fran
merged into that given by the United
States. The decision declares the con-
tention ia not supported by any author
ity. The opinion ia ooncurred in by
Justices DeHaven, Garroutte and Chief
Justice Beatty. Justices Van Fleet and
Fitzgerald were disqualified by being
formerly members OF law firms connected
with the litigation.
M'FARLAND DIssENTs.
Justice Mcfarland, in his dissenting
opinion, Gays that the assessment was
void because it included federal fran.
chise and thus attempts to tax one of
the means employed by the United
States government in carrying out it's
foreign powers. 1t was not apparent to
him, he said, how the state franchise
could be separated from the other.

cases. Some time ago Judge Austin

three weeks afterward De Boyle came
