Southwestern Lines Pool to Prevent

An agreement for the maintenance

effect by the Texas lines tomorrow I'M
der the recently organized Southwest
ern Passenger bureau George T.
Nicholson. passenger traffic manager
of the Santa Fe. and John Sebastian,
general passenger agent of the Rock
Island are at the head of the bureau,
and Charles Pratt, who has been at
the head of the immigration bureau

in New York, has been selected as
chairman.
If the new bureau accomplfshes what
is hoped it will it will be the first of
many attempts in this direction to
prove successful. Little has ever been
done towards maintaining rates IN
Texas and the occasion for a reduced
rate has usually proven the occasion
also of a bitter passenger fight

ENGLAND'S SLICE.
Reported Acquisition of Chinese Ter
ritory Confirmed.

London, June H.-In the house of lords
today the Marquis of Salisbury replied to
the Earl of Camperdown. Liberal. con-
hrmed the reports of the concessions
granted to Great Britain in the vicinity OF
Hong Kong, which. he said. in addition
to giving a slight extension to the colony.
also secured strategical surroundings
which so far commanded Hong Kong that,
without them, in case of war, Great Brit
ain would have been put to certain disad-
vantages.
These considerations, the premier fur
ther pointed out, had become more i'm
perative in consequence of the last few
years. He could not say that any fmme-
date danger was apprehended. In fact.
the concessions had been demanded for q
long time, but recent events made the
Chinese government more sensitive to the
possibility of unexpected occurrences. and
they quite understand and appreciate the
solicitude displayed for the maintenance
of peace and the commercial interests of
Great Britain and the whole world"

tional reVisions. A handsomely engrossed

dent Mckinley was passed round the

passed the House of Deputies, with the
proviso. Article was adopted with
slight amendments recommended by the
conference committee.

to the estate of Julia Bedell, widow of
Bishop Beden. The Western Union Tele-
graph Company has ground floor and
basement and three upper floors of the
building. after the ground lease expires
the Exchange will probably square out its
building by putting up new structure on
this property.
The governors of the Stock Exchange
met last Wednesday and approved the
purchase. The contracts were signed yes
terday morning. and the governors of the
Exchange met again in special session
and confirmed the transaction with much
mystery.
This mystery was explained afterward
by the statement that the governors had
stolen a march on the Western Union
Telegraph Company and bought the prop
erty over its head The Western Union
Company put up the building in 1854.

Mr.. Wilmer, OF Maryland. said that the
reply from the bishop and deputies of the
diocese OF Indiana TO the question whether
they would be burdened If the separation
into three diocese was not granted was
No" The question was not one of mig
gardliness toward the diocese of Indiana.
If they sent a bishop there they must
send men 10 do the missionary work.
Leave that portion of the diocese where
il has been for so long under the present
bishop, and send men 10 work under his
direction, and the church will grow he

The stock market mas fallen on evil
days. The business of the stock eX-
change is almost breaking its record for
dullness. Yesterday the transactions
were less than 10000 shares. Today, if
the afternoon follows out the promise of
the morning, will be as bad if not worse.
And with this terrible dullness there is
also no support to prices worth speak
ing Of There has been gradual de-
cline day by day with only temporary
weak rallies. Today was like all the
others. The market opened with a de-
cline and during the early hours 1t was
continued for "a point or more. The
cause of this is plain to every one who
has watched the market during the last
month. 1t is professional manipulation
in Tobacco and Sugar.
