RAILWAY MEETINGS.
Several Important Conferences to BE
Held This Week.

CHICAGO, April Q. = The roads of the
Western Passenger Association are to have
a number of important meetings the COM
ing week. On Tuesday the executive COM
mittee of the association will meet to dis
cuss rates and commissions throughout the
entire territory of the association, and on
Wednesday the Chicago-St. Paul lines will
meet to consider the situation in rates be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul and Mime
apolis. The chief cause of trouble for these
lines at present is the Generalization caused
by the irregularities in north Pacific coast
rates. On Thursday the entire Western
Passenger Association will be convened to
consider matters that were not settled at
the meeting the latter part of this week.
There is nothing of great Importance on
the docket.
General Passenger Agents Eustis of the
burlington, HeaffOrd of the Milwaukee &
st. Paul, and Whitney Of the Great North
ern will represent the Western roads at
the conference with the Canadian Pacific
which is to be held in New York next year.
The committee goes entirely uninstructed,
except as regards the differentials, which
the Western roads are determined shall not
be granted in any event.

CURRENCY REFORM.
House Banking Committee Will Vote
IL Bill ON Monday.

WASHINGTON, April 9-The final vote
upon banking bill is likely to take
place in the House committee on banking
and currency on Monday. The subcommit-
tee which recently reported, consisting of
Messrs. McCleary, of Minnesota, Prince, of
Illinois, and Mitchell, of New York, have
perfected their bill and are hopeful of it's
Endorsement by a majority of the full COM
mittee. They have no doubt that they will
in any case secure am Endorsement of the
Republican members. One or two members
may vote to put the subcommittee bill on
the calendar, while reserving the right to
offer amendments on the floor of the
House Several members of the commit
tee, like Chairman Walker and Messrs.
Fowler, BrosiuS and Hill, prepared COM
prehensive bills before the opening of the
present session and have been reluctant to
abandon the result of so much careful la
Dor. Some features of nearly all these bills
have, however. been Endorsed by the sub
committee and there is strong feeling
among the Republican members that they
should take some action which would bring
the subject of currency reform before the
House.
Supporters of the movement of business
men which resulted in the two great con-
Ventions at indianapolis have written here
that they would be glad to have the sub
committee bill reported and to have
place in the House. They believe that such
action would be indication that the Re
publican majority was disposed to take
step forward in currency reform and would
tend to crystalline public opinion even more
strongly than heretofore in favor of COM
prelenSiV6 action

John kensit Creates "a Sensation in
st. Cuthbert's Church.

LONDON, April 9.--The anti-ritualistic
crusade Of Mr.. John Kensit, the layman
who on Jan. To- 1897, caused a sensation by
reading protest against the election of
DR.. Mendel Creighton as bishop of London
in succession to the most Rev. Frederick
Temple, now Archbishop of Canterbury on
the ground of DR.. Creighton's alleged de-
sire to undo the work of the reformation
by introducing the trinkets of Rome" ETC.,
has been specially vigorous during Holy
week, eliminating in extraordinary scenes
in st. Cuthbert's Church yesterday, Good
Friday, where, as customary during past
years, the conduct of the service consisted
in chanting ST. Johns story of the passion
on the same lines as Oberammergau play,
the officiating clergy. taking the roles of
Christ, PLATE and Caiphas. One of the
principal features is known as the "Ven-
Grafton of the Cross and the crucifix was
being removed from the altar to the steps,
where the clergy and congregation advance
in pairs. PROSTATE themselves and kiss the
figure of Christ. AT the tail of the process
sion was Mr. Kensit, surrounded by body
of friends They advanced to the altar
steps, but instead of kneeling Kenst hor-
rified the congregation by suddenly seizing
the crucifiX, raising 1t aloft and frantically
rushing towards the door shouting: I'm

Popery III the church Of England. My God
help me-" most painful scene ensued.
A crowd of people surrounded Mr. Kensit
and people struck him and wrestled with
him, one man going so far as to thrust a
handkerchief into Mr. KenSit's mouth in
order to gag him. Finally, the congregation
rescued the crucifix and the police entered
the church and arrested Mr. Kensit.

Germans win REMAIN Neutral.

BERLIN, April 9.--The semi-official North
German Gazette says. "A statement has
been made in foreign newspapers and in a
German paper stating that in the dispute
between Spain and America the German
government had departed from the line of
strict neutrality. 1t is impossible to dis
cover whereon this. view is based. From
the beginning of these complications to the
present hour the government has abstained
from any attempt which could SAVIOR in any
way of taking sides, ana has particularly
avoided anything which might have the eff
feet of disturbing our relations with the
United States, TO which country Germany is
bound by one hundred years of uncouded
friendship. Nothing in this attitude has
been changed by the adhesion of Germany
to the collective step of the powers in
Washington, a step to which all the powers
had previously assented, and which had in
view solely, with all friendliness and the
humanitarian aim. been approved by the
United States itself. We think we are not

that England and France had agreed to
act together in the matter of recognizing or
refusing to recognize the Confederate
States, and that the rest of the European
powers would fellow on the same line. Mr..
Seward, one of the greatest secretaries of
state we have ever had, was politely noti-
fed that the British and French ministers
wished to see him for the purpose of deliv-
ering joint note on the subject. He took
the ground that the United States had no
relations with the European powers as such
or with England and France jointly, but
would prefer to deal with them as separate
and distinct sovereignties. When the British
and French ministers called on Mr.. Seward
he politely declined to receive their joint
communication. In a dispatch to our min
lister to France June II, 1861, Mr.. Seward
said:
1t was under these circumstances that, on
the 18th day of June, inst, the minister from
France and the minister from Great
Britain, having previously requested an in
terview were received by me. Each of
them announced that he was charged by his
government 10 redu u ulSptlCI " me dnu "

answered that owing to the peculiar cir
cumstances of the times could not consent
to an official reading or delivery of these
papers without first knowing their charac-
ter and objects. They confidentially and
with entire frankness put the dispatches
into my hands for an informal preliminary
examination. Having thus become pos
sessed of their characters / replied to those
ministers that could not allow them to be
officially communicated to this government
They will doubtless mention this matter to
their respective states.
This action of Mr.. Seward was taken so
politely and adroitly and was maintained
with such force of logic that it gave no
offense and was accepted as conclusive. 1t
should be the attitude of the United States
towards proposed intervention by the Eu-
ropean powers in American affairs at any
time or under any circumstances.

THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

The final steps have been taken which
render war inevitable. The President has
signed the Cuban resolution and sent an
ultimatum to the Spanish government with
time limit, TO which there can be but one
answer. The Spanish minister at Washing
ton has asked for his passports and left the
capital, together with all the members of
the legation. The legation itself is closed
and its affairs are in charge of the Austrian
minister. To all intents and purposes war
is declared and hostilities will not be long
deferred. In this situation it is the duty
Of all Americans to stand together in sup
port of the government and sustain the
President in every possible way The time
has passed for any difference of opinion as
to the wisdom of this or that policy. The
policy of the government is settled beyond
the possibility of change or the propriety
Of discussion. AS Americans and patriots
the people should stand together as one
man in support of the war-making power
There must be no North, no South, no East
no West--nothing but united country and
people. Party lines, party interests and
party issues must be, for the time being
entirely subordinated to the far higher duty
ening the President in the performance of
the great and important work which cir
cumstances and an overruling Providence
have imposed. Whether the national honor
was attacked before or not it is now in
volved in very real sense and to a serious
degree, for unless the war, once begun, is
prosecuted to a successful ending and its
objects secured the name and fame of the
country will suffer Therefore, argument
must cease, criticism must cease, factional
strife must cease. party spirit must be
dumb. and the American people. as one
man, must stand behind the President.
