WILL NOT CONCEDE.

Pittsburg. Pa. March S.-The meet
ing of the Presbyterian General AS
sembly committee on control Of the
seminaries and the trustees of the
Western Theological Seminary ad-
iourned last night without coming to
any conclusion on the question of
transferring the control of the semin-
var TO the General Assembly. In fact,
the trustees Of the seminary do not rec
osnize that the General Assembly has
the power that 1t already claims over
the institution. and it is not probable
that they will consent to changing the
charter to comply with the request OF
the General Assembly committee.

Mystery Concerning the Yacht MOhi

London, Feb. 4.-The' mysterious
schooner yacht, Mohican, from New York,
is not lost as reported unless she has met
with disaster since Jan. 10, when she
arrived at st. Mlchaels, Azores.
New York.-The Mochican sailed from
New York in November with DR.. Con-
yers Herring, his bride of few days and
young girl named Miss Letia Thomp-
son on board. According to the general
report Miss Thompson ran away from
home to take cruise as Mrs. Herring's
companion. The first wife of DR.. Her
ring obtained divorce from him and
married his friend, Montague Eder. Her
ring and Eder, it is said, formed CO.
partnership, which resulted in the pur
chase and fitting out of the Mohican for
a long voyage. The destination OF tho
Mohican was said to be Plymouth, Eng
land, where Elder and his wife we're to
join the party. The eventual destina
tiOn of the Mohicar was to be South Pa
cific, where her owners were to go into
pearl fishing on large scale.

Tho Pacific Roads Funding Act Meets
Its Doom in Congress.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The Pacific rail-
road funding bill was recommitted to the
house committee on Pacific railroads by
a vote of III to 1Oa, showing an unex-
pectedly large majority against the
measure. The extent of the defeat was
a great surprise to both sides.
The debate was of a brisk and lively
character. Only three of the eighteen
sections of the bill had been read when
the hour for taking the vote arrived. But
the substantial amendment "to prevent
the payment Of dividends on stock until
the government should have been fully
discharged" was adopted. Mr.. Boatner's
substitute to foreclose the governments
mortgage in case of default was cut out
by a parliamentary maneuver, so that
when the voting began in the house he
moved to recommit the bill, a motion
equivalent to it's direct defeat. A propo-
sition submitted as an amendment to
compromise the debt (aggregating $780,.
0O0,0OO) for $75,OOO,OOO was defeated, and
as stated above, the bill was sent to its
doom by an overwhelming majority. The
opponents of the measure signalized the
victory with shouts of jubilation.

Electric Car Disaster.

Milwaukee, Feb. Am electric car on
the Russell avenue line, filled with peo-
pie, went through an open draw on the
Kinnickinic bridge this morning. The
weight of the car broke the ice and the
car went to the bottom of the river. 1t
is believed that number of passengers
were drowned.
The ice broke the windows of the car,
which stood on end and only partially
filled with water. The confusion was
such that nobody could tell an hour after
the catastrophe how many people lost
their lives, but it is believed that at least
six beside the motorman are dead. The
bridge had been opened to permit the
passage of the fire boat Foley which was
breaking the ice in the Kinnlckinic. The
crew of the Foley rendered valuable as
sistance.
Miss Schmidtkenry, employed at the
National knitting works, says that the ac
cident was due to the carelessness of Mo
torman Kennedy, who stuck at his post
and was killed.
