SUBMIT A COMPROMISE,
Grand Army Men Ask the Ex-
tension of Time on Tickets
Fifteen Days.
Railroads Show Little Signs of Making
Concessions for the Coming
Encampment.

CHICAGO, I'LL, Jan. 30.-The Grand
Army encampment committee OF st. Paul
citizens has submitted to the Western
Passenger Association a compromise
proposition as a way out of the present
trouble regarding time allowance for en-
campment tickets to st. Paul. 1t is that
the railroads make the limit for 1-cent-a-
mile tickets fifteen days and give the
holders OF such tickets the option of having
an extension to thirty days on payment
of the difference between the 1-cent rate
and one-fare rate, which is IL cents a
mile
Chairman Caldwell, to whom the propo-
sition was presented, promulgated it
among the interested roads, but up to a
late hour had received no replies or call
for a special meeting. Under the circum-
stances it is not likely any further action
will be taken on Grand Army matters by
the roads as body. There was no hint
to-day in railroad circles that any other
line than the Great Western intended to
weaken in favor of the thirty days extern
sion, but the encampment is still six
months off.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Jan. 30.-Com-
mander-in-Ghief Walker of the Grand
Army of the Republic received telegram
from the Commercial Club, one of the
prominent clubs of St. Paul, this morning,
asking that he allow them more time, if
possible, as they feel sure that they can
secure the rates and time extension de-
manded from the Western Passenger AS
ISOLATION for the next encampment.
Commander Walker said this morning:

tration was deferred as long as possible.
1t will probably be held the latter part of
February and not February T. as has been

COMMERCE AND RELIGION
Peace Messages Prepared by the
National Board of
Trade.
An Earnest Hope That Collision
Between English.Speaking Nations
May Be Averted.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 9O.-The
National Board of Trade at its closing ses-
sion to-day by a unanimous vote directed
the president of the board to send peace
message to the Associated Chamber of
Commerce at London, England. The mes
sage reciprocates the friendly sentiments
of English commercial bodies and ex-
presses the wish that commerce and re-
ligion may unite to honorably avert
collision between the English speaking
nations.
A report from the committee on trans
portation was adopted, directing Govern
ment ownership of railways, but advocat-
ing strict supervision over their oper-
alton of management. The report also
recommends the passage of the bill now
pending in the House for funding the in
debtedness of the Pacific railroads. 1t was
also recommended that Congress should
pass law making any employee ineligible
as receiver or assignee of any corporation.
The board, then, with President Fraley
at its head, made formal call upon Presi-
dent Cleveland, by appointment.
Mr.. Stannard of st. Louis made an ad-
dress to the President, explanatory of the
history and objects of the board.
In response, the President expressed his
qualification in meeting the members of
the board, and was glad to acknowledge
the great usefulness of those voluntary or
CARNATIONS whose purpose was to stimu-
late trade. and to say that the day would
come when the people would appreciate
their efforts.
William E. Tucker of Philadelphia was
elected secretary and treasurer to succeed
the late Hamilton Andrew Hill, and the
board adjourned to meet here again next
year.

As 70 RIGHTS OF WAY.
May Be Giren Railroads Without Con-
sent of indians.

May Be Given Railroads Without Com
sent of Indians.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3O.-The
House Committee on Indian Affairs to-
day reported favorably on several bills
giving railroads the right of way through
the Indian Territory with amendments de-
creaslng the amount OF land allowed for
terminal purposes. 1t was also decided
hereafter to require railroad companies to
file with the Secretary of the Interior a
plat of their road SO that companies can be
required to keep to their line. 1t was
further agreed by the committee that here
after roads should not be required to OBJ
tain the consent of the Indians before
being granted right OF way.
President Cleveland has vetoed several
bills because the Indians did not fully con-
sent to the right of way. The committee
differed from him on this point and de-
cided to establish new rule, as far as they
could do so.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 3o.-A.
Furuseth of San Francisco, representing
the interests OF sailors. to-day addressed
the House Committee on Merchant Ma
rlne and Fisheries in opposition to the bill
allowing advance of wages to seamen and
in favor of the Mcguire bill, which abso-
lutely prohibits allotments or advances
except to wife, mother, child or other de-
pendent relatives. Seamen, he said, OPP
posed to allotments because they were
thereby permitted to sign away half of
their wages before they had earned them,
many other methods injurious to Ameri-
can seamen were thereby sustained.
Eugene IT. Chamberlain, United States
Commissioner of Navigation, favored the
allowance of limited allotment.

ROCK-CRUSHER BROKEN.
Commissioner Maude DeferS His Trip
and Goes to Folsom.

Highway Commissioner Maude had
intended to leave on his tour of road
inspection and investigation to San
Diego, by way of the southern counties,
yesterday, but was delayed by an un-
foreseen occurrence.
lie received a message by telephone
to the effect that the rock-crusher at
Folsom had been broken down, render
ing it necessary for him to go up there
and attend to it, and he has according
ly gone to the quarry. The accident was
owing to a defect in the main pulley OF
the crusher, the centrifugal force being
SO great that the flaw gave way and
the pulley burst, and striking the main
shafting broke it, and demoralized the
machine generally. The result will be
the stoppage of the machinery for about
ten days, as new pieces will have to be
sent from San Francisco to replace the
broken ones.
AS the accident was due to a defect,
the State will not be put to any expense
in replacing the parts, but the stoppage
will delay orders for rock, the filling of
which, owing to the great demand, was
amount to $500 or $700, which the San
Francisco firm furnishing the machin-
cry will have to make good.
Mr.. Maude is much annoyed at his
plans for his trip being temporarily up
set, as he had expected the present hot
spell to acclimate him to his journey
through the San Joaquin Valley, SO that
he could better stand the heat he would
have to encounter after starting. 1t
is unavoidable, however, as Commits
sioners Manson and Irvine have al
ready started on their tours.

Joe Starke is Here to Answer on a
Charge of Theft.

Joe Stark is in the City Prison, but
that is no proof that he hasn't been
having a good time for the past
1nen in the city who will feel a kind or
grim delight when they hear that Joe
is there.
He was a porter (whatever that may
mean) in the Lafayette Saloon on K
street about month ago, was Joe
Starke, and while holding down that
sinecure he had his eyes open. There
was money being taken in on a bicycle
that was to be raffied off in said saloon,
and Joe watched the bright 16 to | dol
lars drop into the box with longing in
his heart. The longing took on prac-
tical tint after S4S had chinked into the
box, and, business being dull and hav-
ing nothing else to do, Joseph raised the
lid and appropriated the 16 to l dol
lars.
But as time went on the dollars
melted and a month ago they were all
gone. Then Joe went away and sought
employment in the little city of Au-
burn, UP in the foothills, and there ran
across g. pilgrim who had known him
in the palmy days when he was the
pride and porter Of the Lafayette.

A W0MAN'S DESPERATE ACT.
Mrs. Dolly BoySen Takes a Dose Of
CreOSOto.
Her Throat Badly Burned, But Her
Life Seemingly Not in
Danger.

A woman's screams took Officers Will
son and Fisher into the st. George
building about midnight last night
There they found a young woman
named Boysen, formerly Dolly Stone
writhing in agony from the effects of a
dose of creosote she had taken.
She was removed to the Receiving
Hospital and Assistant City Physician
Ogden summoned. He found that she
had swallowed little or none of the
poison, but her throat was terribly
burned by the fiery fluid Emetics
were administered, and though the
woman continued to suffer, the indica-
tions were at a late hour that her con-
dition was not serious.
The creosote was in a small phial and
had been used by her for the toothache
the last day or two. In her attempt to
swallow the stuff it was spilled over
the lower portion of her face. badly
blistering it.
From all that could be learned the
woman had had trouble with her
husband, a young man, and had ap-
parently also been drinking. He
claimed the creosote-which is about
the same thing as carbolic acid-was
taken accidentally, but it was evident
the woman had attempted to swallow
it. When taken to the hospital she
asked the officers not to permit her
