DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY.
Proceedings of the Baltimore Con-
ventiOn-Vfrginia Disposed OF.

Baltimore, Nov. 1.-THE fourth an
nual convention of the Daughters of the
Confederacy resumed its sessions today,
holding one in the morning and another
at night, the interim being devoted to a
reception and tea at the confederate sol
diers home at Pikesville, suburb of
Baltimore.
At the morning session the time was
largely devoted to details pertaining to
the admission of the grand division of
Virginia. 1t was voted that the division
should have full vote on all questions.
The division joined the united society as
a grand division, not as a chapter. AS
both organizations have exactly the same
aims and objects it was held to be the
most desirable to consolidate forces. Inc
only question was as to the manner OF
the consolidation. The grand division
preserves its organization intact, Dut
also pays the usual tax required OF each
member of the united society, when en-
titles every chapter of the grand DIVISION
to full representation in the unlteo
conventions.
Upon returning from Pikesville the
delegates assembled at Lehmnn.s nan
and went into executive session Tor tne

FOR THE WAREHOUSE MEN.
Indications Point to Decision
Against the Railroads.

Washington. Nov. 10.-The indca-
tons are that the interstate commerce
commission will issue an order in COM
pliance with the petition of the Ameri-
can Warehouse Mems association
against the railroad, requiring the rail
road company to publish on their tariff
sheets and otherwise uniform time for
completing the delivery of freight of all
classes. The opinion is expressed that
it would be found to be permissible I'm
der sections 2, 3 and of the interstate
commerce act, and also under decisions
of the supreme court. 1t is believed
that the order will be satisfactory to
both the warehouse men and their man.
ayers. The order will be intended to
meet the complaint of the warehouse
owners that the practice which has
grown up among the railways of giving
free storage to shippers in order to get
business amounts to a discrimination in
favor of the shippers, who, by the ex-
tent of their business, are able to force
the concession from the roads.
The final hearing in the case under the
petition took place before the commits
sion yesterday, and the representatives
of the railroad admitted that the free
storage system had grown to be an abuse
which they were not able to control Of
the sixty-seven railroads complained of

the West Shore were represented at the
argument by Judge Fitch. the Delaware
and Lackawanna by Mr.. Lock, the Penn
sylvania by Mr.. Broke, and the Illinois
Central and Louisville and Nashville
by Mr.. Baxter, while the warehouse men
were represented by Mr.. Thompson, their
secretary, and e. X. Summerwell and j.
Maynard Harlan. The case was first
heard at Chicago last June, and since
then there have been hearings at Gin
cinnati. Louisville, st. Louis, Kansas
City. Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, New
York and Philadelphia. The commits
sion will now render its decision without
further hearing.

Heroism of the Police.

Roosevelt says:
/ doubt if the average citizen. espec-

realizes how often the man of the night
stick is called upon to display qualities
which in a soldier would be called heroic.
His feats in saving life or in arresting
dangerous criminals, alone and at night,
attract no special attention when men
toned in the newspapers: but they of
ten imply just as much courage as those
of the man who captures an enemy s
flag in battle, or plants his own flag
on a hostile parapet. The men of the
New York police force represent all
the different creeds and different race
origins that go to the makeup of our
stock; but they all become good Ameri
cans who pay no heed to differences of
creed and race, for otherwise they would
be useless. The police occupy positions
of great Importance. They not merely
preserve order, the first essential of
both liberty and civilization, but to a
large portion of our population they
stand as the embodiment as we'll as the
representative Of the law of The land To
the average dweller in a tenement-h house
district, especially il born abroad, the
policeman is in his own person all that
there is of government; he is Judge,
Executive and Legislature, Constitu-
ton and town meeting. His power and
influence are great. For any vice or
shortcoming he should be sternly pun
ished. but for gallantry and good con-
duct he should receive prompt and gen
erous recognition.
