Question of Precedent at the Coming
Grant Ceremonies.

New York. April 2S.-Mayor Strong
gave cut the following communication
TODAY:
Department of State, Washington. D.
c.. April %. 1897.
Hon. William L. Strong. Mayor New
York:
My Dear Sir--There has. been a good
deal of foolish matter printed in the
papers here about the question OF eti-
quette as to whether the president and
his cabinet should precede the ambas-
sailors of foreign countries and other
members of the diplomatic corps in the
procession TO the tomb of General
Grant. I am assured by Sir Julian
Pauncefote and the French ambassador
that the alleged struggle for precedence
between the members of the cabinet
and the diplomatic corps is pure fic-
ton. The ambassadors have made no
request or claim in regard to the mat
ter of precedence, and am advised by
one of them that they will not partici-
pate in the procession, but viii take
whatever position is assigned them on
the stand. Very truly YOURS.
JOHN SHERMAN"
Mayor Strong said that neither he
nor the Grant committee had received
any intimation from Sir Julian Paunce-
fote in regard to the precedence at she
ceremonies.

THE WESTERN ROADS.
Representatives Meet and Consider
Christian Endeavor Rates.


Christian Endeavor Rates.
Chicago. April 2S.-western roads
held meeting this afternoon to con-
slider Christian Endeavor rates. They
did not come to any decision. but re-
ferred the whole matter to the execu-
tive committee Tn proposition which
seemed most favorable was that a one
half way rate of $25 between Chicago
and San Francisco be made in both
directions via the Missouri river and
that one way in each direction via St
Paul and Portland be $50 so. In max
ing this proposition the western roads
know il will not be acceptable to the
outhern Pacific. 1t rather signified
its dislike of the one way rate in deal
ing with the matter and wants a round
trip rate of $50 made from Chicago.
The western roads cannot see any
other way of protecting their regular
business from Generalization through
manipulation of these very low rates,
however. and they have intimated very
strongly that if the Southern Pacific
does not like their plan they will stay
out of the business altogether and al
low the convention to be taken away
from San Francisco. The reference of
the matter to the executive committee
is to say if it cannot make terms with
the Southern Pacific without concur
renee of which no rate can be made.
1t may be 10 days or two weeks before
the matter is finally settled, although
the executive committee was instructed
to meet tomorrow and consider it,
