GREATLY PLEASED
RIVALRY BREAKS OUT IN OPEN
AGITATION.
One Faction Headed by Bullock, the
Other by Ransom-Second Chapter
of the Religious Wrangle Has
Been Written On the Pacific Slope
Bad State of Affairs.

San Francisco. July 12.-The last
open session of the International Chris
Tia Endeavor convention was held to-
DAY. The attendance at the morning
and afternoon meetings were large and
at night those who managed to obtain
entrance 10 either of the main meet
ing places were fortunate. for only 1000
could be accommodated and 10000 more
sought admission. Estimates made by
leading business men agree that the
people brought here by this great
gathering Will leave not less than
Sl,0OO,OoO in our city. All the leaders of
the movement are pleased with the
success of their efforts. and with the
outlook for the future of the society.
The rivalry which has existed be-
tween two coteries of Chicago Endeav-
orers since the incipiency of the Cali
fOrnia excursion has eliminated in
by the Rev. c. ;. Bullock, editor of
the Christian Endeavorer. the other
by E. y. Ransom. who represented
the Golden Rule followers. En- route
to San Francisco the Chicagoans split
at Denver on the Sunday travel Cues-
ton, the Bullock party arriving at Salt
Lake City on Saturday evening and the
INduSLiu parry on SUNDAY evening ~
this point the banners, illinois En-
deavorers" hung from the Bullock
coaches were taken by the Ransom
people with the plea that the former
did not officially represent the Illinois
delegation. The Bullock passengers
were all Illinois EndeavOrers and main
tanned their right TO organize a seDa-
rate California bound excursion and to
so designate themselves on their
Goa ches. The banners, however, were
not recovered.
The second chapter of this religious
row has been written on the Pacific
slope. The Bullock party which arrived
two days ahead of the Ransom party
planned under the leadership of Mr..
Bullock. VINO had been officially as
signed TO slum meetings in connection
with the convention. a series of gospel
meetings in Chinatown and similar dis
tricts- When the Ransom people ar
rived, they pormptly mad Mr.. Bullock
turned down as leader Of slum meet
ings and also ignored him in the lll-
nOis rally Saturday evening.

Atlanta, Ga, July 12.-Specials to
tha Journal from Quitman. Brooks
county, confirm the report of the finding
there of womans body hacked to
pieces and packed in a barrel. which
had been buried in a swamp.
The discovery was made by a farmer
named Jacob Wooden. on Mule creek.
The body was tumbled into a barrel
and dirt packed around it. but still in
a remarkable state of preservation. the
flesh retaining almost its natural color.
Buried as it was in the rear of a gil
gantic pine standing on the banks of
the creek. where the water in every
rainy spell is from three to four feet
deep, would seem to argue that the
flesh would have been decomposed had
it been there any length of time. The
top end Of the barrel was decayed and
pine roots had worked themselves
through its side.
This would seem to indicate that it
had been there for some time. There
was no vegetation growing around the
top of the barrel, but this might have
been caused by its being shaded by
a large growth, rather than having
been dug uD recentlv.
No one has been missed from the
community, and it is the general opin-
ion that it was either buried there sew
eral years ago or else was brought
there from some distance.
Rumor in the county has it that sew
eral years ago there lived near the
place a man who had a wife whose
hair was the color of the corpse's: that
the mans wife left and has never been
seen since. Shortly after her disap-
pearance he took up with another wom-
an, who did not stand nigh in the COM
and soon left.

final report against the conference
WOOL SCHEDULE

WOOL SCHEDULE.
The noon recess Of the conferees was
devoted largely to conferences with in
dividual senators, in which the house
conferees participated. These confer
ences developed the fact that the wool
schedule had been under special con-
sideration during the forenoon session,
and that the house members had not
shown a disposition to hold onto the
house rates. There was evident ap-
prehension that if this concession was
not granted there would be difficulty
in getting the bill through the senate,
and it is not believed that the appre-
hension was changed by the results of
their inquiries. There was also a hur-
ried conference between the Republican
representatives in the senate confer
ence, and members of the senate con-
ference in regard to the proba bic course
of the Democrats in case the articles
which they were especially instrument
tai in having placed on the free list,
should be made du.iabie. These articles
include cotton bagging, gunny bags,
burlaps, cotton ties, Paris green, floor
mating, etc. The house is insisting
upon their restoration to the duty list,
and some of the senate conferees are
inclined to yield because of the reve-
nue. they would yield.
TIL conference with the Democrats
was by no means reasSuring. The Re-
publicans were told that if these
changes were made they (the Demo-
crats) would he ''--osed to insist upon
a full explanation in committee, and
elaborate debate in the senate, which
might Indefinitely prolong the session.
NOT REASSURING.
The result of the inquiry as to the
effect of a restoration of the house
rate on white pine was far from re-
assuring. The senators from the mid
die northwest are especially concerned
in holding the senate rate. and the
conferees have been notified that any
yielding on this question will result in
no little delay. The problem is giving
the committee considerable concern.
The advocates of a lower duty on
cyanide of potassium feel confident
from reports from the conferences that
the senate rate of 121a per cent will be
accepted.

spalding's Case.

Chicago, July 12.-In the trial of ex-

of the University of Illinois, created
sensation by declaring that there was
enough money in the general fund of
the university to meet all warrants
drawn up to the date the bonds were
hypothecated by Spalding. On the
former trial, Spalding contended that
he hypothetical the endowment bonds
in order TO secure money with which
to meet warrants issued by the officials
of the university and the same line of
defense has been adopted in the present
trial. The attorneys for the defense
will attempt to show an entirely differ
ent state of affairs than that shown by
Professor Shattuck's testimony.

house conferees are standing solidly by
their bill. and the senate conferees are
no less tenacious.
CONDITION IN THE SENATE.
The senate conferees have laid be-
fore the house members the condition
in the senate, where there is no actual
majority OF the Republicans, and where
other than Republican votes are neces-
sary to pass the bill or adopt a con-
ference report. They asserted that in
1894 the Democrats were in better
shape in the senate than the Repub-
leans now, as they had an actual ma
jority. yet the house was finally COM
nelled to accept the senate bill in or
der to pass il
The members of the house are stand
ing by their bill nevertheless, and have
told the senators that they cannot ac-
cept the senate amendments on many
important items.
Lumber has been in dispute. The
members of the house committee in
sisted that their rate on white pine
must be accepted. and have been sup
ported by Senator Burrows of Michi-
gan. The house rate was 81, and the
senate reduced it to 81. The senate
conferoes say that if the house rate is
restored. they win provoke a long dis
cussion in the senate. The house con-
ferees. however, refuse to accept even
the rate which was originally reported
in the senate bill, and stand for the
house rate.
Burlaps. cotton ties and other items
which were placed on the free list by
the senate, met with great hostility
from the house conferees, and nothing
in the way of a compromise offered
by the senate members has been ac-
cepted. The house conferees are also
insisting upon higher compensatory
duties on manufactures of cotton on
account of the duty of 20 per cent on
raw cotton. The house members have
maintained that the house bill has been
commended more than the senate bill.
