1t is no small privilege to the city OF
Richmond to entertain for several days
the Baptist Association OF Virginia. The
association is composed Of clergymen
and laymen who are distinguished for
intelligent zeal in good works, and they
represent one Of the greatest religious
denominations in the world. These men
are not only the pillars Of their church.
but OF such are the props and supports
OF the republic. Every man of them
stands for truth and good morals and
good government In his own community.
and the good influence OF a convention of
such men cannot be over-estmated. The
Times bids them welcome 10 Richmond,
and hopes that their visit may be as
pleasant and profitable to themselves as
We know Il will be 10 their hosts.

More Days AMI Hours of Work fer
Idle Men and a Considerable
Advance in Wages.

PITTSBURG, Pa. Nov. 4-The Leader
publishes the following this afternoon:
For about three years the skilled work
men employed in the Pennsylvania Rail-
roads shops, between Pittsburg and AL
toona, have been working only five days
in the week and only eight hours day.
This morning the general superintendent
OF the division issued an order restoring
all shopmen to work full time at six or
seven days a week, as desired by the men,
at twelve hours day and at an advance
in the wages of 10 cents per day all around
Notice to the above effect was posted at.
6 o'clock this morning in the Twenty
eighth and Thirtieth-street shops. AS Il re-
suit 600 idle men, who had anticipated the
turn of affairs, were on hand and went to
work. Tomorrow the order will go into
at the Walls and Altoona shops Mr..
Chandler, general secretary of the roads
department of the Y. NJ. c. A., stated that
the above order is the effect of yesterdays
election. Inquiry at the Office of General
Agent Robert Pitcairn failed to secure a
confirmation of the report. The informa-
ton, they say, must come from Altoona.

NEW YORK, N. Y. Nov. 4.-The Rus
sian Minister of Railroads. who for over a
month has been engaged in an inspection
of the transportation development of this
country from San Francisco to Boston,
sailed to-day for home on the steamer St
Louis. He was accom- panied by his son,
Prince Alexander Michaelovitch, and
Colonel Chertkoff of the Imperial Guards.
The Prince, who at one time worked in
this country as common laborer, has
greatly enjoyed his visit, and he expects
10 repeat it more leisureIy some time in
the future.
While as much secrecy has surrounded
some of his conferences with rail and car
manufacturers and others as marked the
commercial transactions of Ii Hung
Chang yet it is understood that the visit
OF Prince Hilkoff will result in American
manufacturers having considerable 9
hand in furnishing the supplies for the
great Siberian railroad, and ID the con-
struction o! which more rails will be laid
in Russia during the next few years than
in all the rest of the world combined.

REED
At PALO Al TO
A Few Words to Students
by the Man From
Maine.
Seeks to Show the Distinction
Between Learning and
Wisdom.
NO REFERENCE TO POLITICS.
Zone Should Make Use of All He
Learns in This Exceedingly
Practical World"

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Nov.
4.-Stanford was visited for short time
this morning by the Hon. Tom Reed He
addressed a few remarks to the students,
but not word as to politics nor the elec-
tion.
Mr.. Reed and his party drove to the
quadrangle in the Palo Alto bus. The
students enthusiastically encircled 1t and
when some one asked, Nv hat's the matter
with Tom Reed?" the hearty response,
Hes all right, you bet, every time!'
showed that Names favorite son held a
favored position in the hearts of the STAN
ford students.
Seeing that his audience would be salts
fed only with some expression from him
he kindly consented to give brief, in-
formal talk. When introduced by DR.. Jor-
dan Mr.. Reed dismounted from the bus
and said:
Il see that presidents of universities in
common with students and others, do not
fail o eatrap the unwary traveller. l did
not intend TO speak, but when in the COM
pany of college students college recollec-
tions crowd upon US. There is one thing
l would like to impress upon you, and
that is the difference between learning
and wisdom. npassing through China
town in San Francisco l noticed that
those who had the necessary tools for
their trade were considered thoroughly
educated. Universities fit US for the
affairs of life; they furnish the tools. Un-
less use is made of them there is mental
degeneration. Wisdom is simply digested
learning. This is an exceedingly practical
world and one should make use of all he
learns"

COLLAPSE OF THE ST. PAUL.
After Many Days Bufehng on the Moss
Beach Rocks The Steamship
Goes to Pieces

PACIFIC GROVE, CAL. Nov. 4-The
Pacific Coast Steamship Company's
steamer st. Paul, which ran upon the
rocks at Moss Beach, near here, in August
last and which has stood firm against the
terrific force of the breakers that have
thundsred upon it in the interim, has at
last gone to pieces. About 10 clock yes
terday morning at high tide the waves
dashed upon the dismantled hull with
such furry that it could not endure the
strain longer and collapsed.
The rocks and beach about the scene of
the wreck are strewn with wreckage.
Parts of the cabin and deck fixtures,
pieces of chairs and ta Bile which were left
upon the vessel when she was abandoned,
bits of wood and other things from the
damaged cargo which remained aboard,
and even the parts of a surrey, are to be
found upon the leach. The masts and
rigging and the bolts and heavy iron from
the hull may be seen further out, and at
low tide the engines and boilers are dis
cernible firmly fixed upon the points of
rock that so long held the entire ship.
Seamen hereabouts consider it wonder
full that the ST. Paul should have re-
manned intact so long, for the waves at
the place where she lay ara at all times
violent and the wind has u sweep OF great
force upon the land. Crowds OF people
have been to view the remains of the
wreck to-day and bits of drlftwood of all
sizes and shapes have been carried away

USAL' IS MURDER MYSTERY
Mudgett, the Recluse, Supposed to
Have Had Much Hidden
Wea tn.
Two Suspects Closely Watch d-Ar.
rival of Officers From Ukiah
Auxiously Awaited,

USAL. CAL, Nov. 4. 4.-Election day pre-
vented the Sheriff and officers leaving
Uklan for the scena of the Mudgett MUIR
der and incendiarism, although urgent
appeals were made by telegraph to county
officers 10 come to Usal, as additional evil
dence had been secured against suspe cted
parties. 1t is a ninety mile overland drive
from Ukiah to Usal, and developments
will be necessarily slow until the officers
reach the scene. Two persons are sus-
pected. and the nature of the evidence is
1t is impossible to break the discreet eau
tion of the residents of Usal, who hold
that the least incaution or reflection would
put to flight the parties they believe to be
guilty of the crime.
Additional evidence bearing on the mo-
tive of the crime was made more clearly
evident yesterday when careful search
of the hali-burned house revealed every
article of value missing. The tact that
midget was generally known to possess
wealth has made his murder nogeneral
surprise to old residents of the COM
mumty. The murdered man lived a sort
of a recluse life, confning himself closely
to his own immense domains. The rev.
enue from his large cattle and sheep ranch
was being boarded and is believed 10 have
been principally concealed about the
place. He employed no assistants to aid
him in conducting the vast amount of care
necessary to conduct his ranch. He was
dilIgent worker and kept constantly busy.
The Coroner's inquest will not be con-
Quoted until after the arrival OF the
Sheriff, when developments of sensa-
tional nature are expected to follow.
