Alleged Rate Cutting.

No sooner have the Chicago-St. Paul
lines rea~fed an understanding on the
questicr ~ A-5or party rates than the lines
running =outh from Chicago proceed to get
into muss over the same matter. They
are now accusing each other of cutting the
rates agreed on for the business, and there
is all sorts of trouble in sight With the
object of putting an end to the trouble the
Illinois Central has put in rate of S. from
Chicago to Memphis and SO to Vicksburg.
The chairman of the Western Passenger
Association has called the attention of the
Illinois Central to the agreed rates for
traffic and has pointed out that the rates
above given are a violation of the agree
ment. The Illinois Central has replied by
inviting the chairman to inspect the condi.
ton of the market as far as this particular
traffic is concerned and says that it has re-
duced the rates only for the purpose OF
protecting its own revenue.

petition in the United States court, asking
instructions regarding the extension of time

An Old Problem Solved.

The immigration traffic problem which
has been perplexing the Eastern and West
ern lines for many years has been brought
to a successful solution as a result Of the
two days conference that has just come
to close in New York between represent
atives of the transatlantic steamship COM
panies and the trunk and Western lines.
The conclusion reached is that the middle
men, or Eastward agents, who have grown
rich in the booking of immigrants must
60 and hereafter the railroad companies
both East and West, will cooperate with
the steamship companies in the handling of
the business The trunk lines have been
dealing with the first-ward agents for
years. and have been paying them a COM
mission on the business turned over to
them. While not very considerable, this
branch of passenger traffic has been used
to even up shortages i'll percentages on
west-bound first-class passenger. The West
ern lines have managed to secure immi-
agents. who, for a long time. have con-
trolled the business by means of European
agents. A result of this condition was the
fact that there has always been consider
able friction between the Southern Pacific
and Western ines and the competition has,
Repeated attempts have been made by
the Western lines to bring about an ami
cific, which had the Seaboard Airline as an
Eastern feeder, declined all terms of peace
unless all agencies were abolished and the
steamship companies. To bring about this
condition has long been the ambition of
interested managers, and the plan only
Gently became feasible by the pooling of
the steerage business by the transatlantic
lines. At the conference begun in this city
Monday and ended yesterday, the entire
immigrant traffic question was discussed,
and IL developed that the trunk and West
ern lines were willing to abandon the first
ward agents for the steamship companies.
The latter have been very anxious to con-
troll their own business. and when the con-
illusions reached are formally ratified by
the Eastern and Western lines the new con-
dition will be made effective Jan. ! next.
Under the new agreement the long-stand-
ing differences between the Southern Pa
cific and Western lines will be terminated
and west-bound immigration traffic will be
equally divided among all the interested
lines. The pool now in force will be per-
fected but it may be necessary to make
some changes which will provide for the in
clusion of the Southern railroad in the APP
portionment. There is little doubt that the
agreement reached will be ratified, and
disturbing factor in the railroad passenger
business will be soon removed. Under the
new arrangement the steamship companies
will work on the same basis of commissions
as allowed the middemen, and will also
control prepaid orders.

CLEVELAND, May 12.-Bishop Wal
den presided over the Methodist gen.
eral conference Monday. A resolution
condemning lynchings was referred to
the committee on state of the church.
A resolution to prevent duplication
of studies in the church schools and
public schools in the south was read,
but referred to the committee on freed
mans aid. Rev. b. F. Witherspoon, of
southern California, presented a reso-
luton declaring that color and caste do
not enter into the conference, and de-
claring that the election of bishop of
African descent should be viewed sole
ly in the light of ability and without
regard to color. 1t was referred to the
committee on episcopacy. The first
formal application for the conference
of 1900 was presented by Saratoga
Springs, N. Y, and was referred to the
committee on entertainment.
/ The committee on freedman's aid
made its first report on petition from
the Delaware conference to change
the name to Southern Education So

retaining the name as it is now The
question was debated at some length,

Six Great Organizations OF Employees Agree
to Form Federation-DeI s. Order Not
Admitted.
ST. LOUIS, May 12-An important
meeting of railway employees was held
here Sunday at the headquarters of
the Order of Railway Conductors. 1t
represented officially six national or
ders and brotherhoods. In fact they
may be called international, as the
membership of each includes men en-
ployed on lines in Canada and Mexico
+. p. Sargent, grand master of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen,
and Patrick H. Morrissey, grand mas
ter of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, were there, Us was also e.
E. Clark, grand chief conductor of the
Order of Railway Conductors, Grand
Master Arthur, of the Brotherhood of

been present, but was unable to come.
He was officially represented, however,
as were the chief officers of the Switch
mems Union of North America and the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers There
were some 600 men present in all, in
Guiding district and lodge representa-
tives.
The chief result of the convention
was the adoption of a resolution to
form federation of the six orders
named. The present movement has
no opposition whatever. The only diff
ference of opinion was on the question
of admitting the American Railway
union. AS first submitted, the propo-
sition included Eugene V. Debs' order,

ferences or church societies who agree
with the denomination in doctrine.
The immediate case in view is the APP
plication of the German Wesleyans,
with $500, 900 in church property and
1890 members, who have applied for
admission to the Methodist Episcopal
church. Their work is in South Ger
many, Austria and Italy. Rev. Schell,
q German conference delegate, spoke
in favor of it. The enabling act was
passed by rising vote, and the result
ordered cabled to the Wesleyan synod,

The conference adopted a number of
important resolutions, among them one
condemning the Florida law forbid
ding the education of white and col
ored children in the same classes; one
expressing sympathy with down-trod-
den Armenia; one of admiration for
the work of Miss Clara Barton; and
one suggesting non-sectarian refer

the floor shouting for recognition.
Bishop Hurst declined to recognize any
one, but pounded with his gavel and
shouted, "Dr. Neely has the floor"
DR.. Leonard, DR.. Chaffee and others
loudly insisted on the appeal being
put. Bishop Hurst pounded until he

this he was joined by the entire con-

said he desired to withdrawn his paper.
Bishop Hurst would not permit this

by the conference, Bishop Hurst ruled
that both papers were before the house
and he would entertain the appeal.
The ruling of Bishop Hurst was sus-
tanned by vote of 223 yeas and 204

A RIVER HORROR.
'Filevsn Lives Lost in an Explo-
sion on the Mississippi.
Gave Way and the Craft Sank Five
Minutes After the Accident.

VIcKsBURG, Miss, May 12.-One of
the most terrible disasters of recent
years occurred Sunday night about 20
miles below this city. The tow boat
Harry Brown, of Pittsburg, upward
bound from New Orleans, exploded her
boilers at II p. m. The boat was COM
pletely wrecked and sank in less than
five minutes. Eleven lives are known
to be lost, including Pilot Norman X.
Dravo, G.. w. Beardsley, steersman;
William Dougherty, chief engineer;
Miss Annie Hess, chambermaid; Tom
Judge and William Wilson, fremen.
The bodies of First Mate William Fitz-
simmons, that of the second mate, and
those of George KERN and William
Kelley, lamp trimmers, were recovered
and brought to this city by the steam
er Washington Honshell, which was in
sight of the Brown at the time of the
accident. The survivors and also the
wounded were brought to this city on
the Honshell
Six of the officers and crew Of the
Harry Brown are in the Vicksburg
hospital. Pilot Dravo, who was lost,
was of Pittsburg The prompt lower
ing of the Honshells boats resulted in
the saving of many lives.
Capt Kern, the master of the
Brown, was blown onto the cabin roof
of the Brown by the explosion. This
portion of the cabin hoated off from
the hull as it sank.
Capt. Kern and Pilot Dan Kain were
in the Browns pilot house when the
explosion occurred Capt. Kiern stated
that it would be impossible for any one
to tell how many of the seven boilers
exploded. 1t seemed to him that the
vessel went down in less than min
ute Capt. Kiern attached no blame to
any one. He says the cause of the ex-
plosion will never be known, as the
chief engineer, Dougherty, was lost
He declares that the vessel was run
ming at her usual speed and under no
special pressure. The boat carried As
officers and crew, all white. She had in
tow six empty barges and two fuel
boats.
The Harry Brown was built in 1882
and was owned by the big coal firm of
Brown g. Co., of Pittsburg. The boat
was in perfect order and had just had
her boilers cleaned at New Orleans.

purposes. The resolution recited that
the Catholic church was the only body
in the country asking to have national
financial support. The house adopted
the report with great enthusiasm. :
The woman question came up again
and caused great deal of trouble.
Mr.. Morris Sharp, of Ohio, presented a
resolution to excuse the women dele
gates that have relinquished their
seats and that their expenses be paid
to the date of their withdrawal. The
resolution also called in their male re-
serves. DR.. Neely, of Philadelphia,
presented a substitute, in which the
women were invited to remain as guests
of the conference and their expenses
ordered paid. DR.. Cranston rose and
asked for ruling by the chair as to
the present status of women in the
conference.
Bishop Hurst decided it was mat
ter of Interpretation for the body, and
ruled that DR.. Neely had the floor.
Just after DR.. Neely began speaking,
Dr. Frysinger, of Pennsylvania, APP
pealed from the decision of the chair
on DR.. Cranston's point. Bishop Hurst
put the question as being on the ap-
peal of DR.. Cranston and great con-
fusion existed. A motion to lay the
entire matter on the table was lost.
DR.. Kynett raised the point of order
that the question had been improperly
put, but Bishop Hurst held that DR..
Neely had the floor and DIR. Kynett ap-
pealed.

A section of the report also provided
that the amendments be referred to
the annual conferences of the follow
ing year, and further provided for q
two-thirds vote of the general confer
ence and three-fourths vote of annual
conferences to enact this amendment
into a law.
A long discussion Of the report fol-
lowed, being concluded by DR.. Buck
ley. The vote was then proceeded
with The section allowing the women
to retain their seats under title in
dispute" was adopted with only few
dissenting votes. The section sending
the matter to the annual conferences
was also adopted with only five or six
dissenters, This, however, did not set
tie the matter technically. 1t was still
necessary to call the roll of the confer
ence for the formal two-thirds vote.
The roll was then called. The result
of the vote was 425 for giving the wo-
men delegates seat in the conference,
and submitting the question again to a
vote of the annual conferences; against
9s. The vote in each of the annual con-
ferences will be taken at their next
meeting.
A communication was received from
Miss Lydia A. Trimble, delegate from
the Foo Chow (China) conference, de-
clining to hold a seat in the conference
unless its title was undisputed. The
conference then adjourned for the day.
CLEVELAND, May 9.-The call to or
