Resigned from Church.

He testified there that he had gone to
Senator Clark and told him that a friend
OF his would change his vote for con-
sfderatfon and that Clark had agreed to
see that II was fixed. and that $4,000 was
mentioned as the price. The conference
committee asked him TO explain his state
ment that he had solicited bribe.
Warren was notified that the committee,
of which the Rev. d. B. Price of this city
was chairman, would give him an oppor-
tunity to be heard. He replied by saying
that the charges were false but rather

Cason, who testified that United States
Senator w. A. Clark told him that he

that his family was starving and he had

ground and will do so at Washington

of guilt. Members of the conference have
taken steps to procure affidavits support

Marshal MacMahon's Decision.

The dispute was ultimately referred
to the arbitration of the president or
the French republic, Marshal MacMa-
non. whose award in 1875 was given in
favor of Portugal. Britain, however,
did not relinquish her claims and she
consoled herself for the loss of the ac-
tl,al ownership by obtaining a right OF
presumption under the Anglo-Portu-
guese agreement of 1891.
Under this instrument Great Britain
and Portugal agreed that in event OF
lone of the two powers proposing 20
part with any of the territories to the
south of Zambesi. the other shall De
recognized as possessing a preferential
right to the territories in question or
any portion of them.
This is held to give to Great Britain
the right of presumption whenever Por-
tugal is in such financial straits as TO

was said to be in such difficulties last

become the possessor of Delagoa Pay

known for some years that negotla-

Portugal and Great Britain
Domestic and political considerations
have deferred Portugal from parting
with one of her most valuable posses

Great Britain, under stress of present
circumstances, acted upon the neSotia-

HEROES OF THE RAIL.
The Practical "Railroader IN More Dan
ger Than the Soldier In the Field
From the Chicago Journal.

AOtH AilN N.hiNo k' ~ At no -
Killed, l,95S.
Injured, l,76l.
Force engaged, less than 500 600.
Above is the years record Of an
army which has never left the bound
aries of the United States tho army
of practical railway employees. the
men who move the trains. The figures
are taken from the report Of the ln.
terstate Commerce Commission, just
published. They tell their own story.
The commission has gathered data
showing that the danger to the train
man, the engir etr, the fireman, the
conductor, and the rest OF the force
actively employed about trains is
scarcely less than that faced by the
soldier in the Philippines.
The War Department has made
unofficial statements showing the
casualties in the Philippines since
the landing of our forces q year ago.
According to these figures, the total
killed in action and who have d.ed Of
wounds is 37j. In the railroad
statistics the deaths from sickness
are not taken into account, so n
seems proper in Masking this compari.
son to leave out the 21j deaths in the
army which are credited TO this Cause.
Figuring the size of the army at
Manila as 3j, 900, 1t is seen that the
ratio is but little more than one man
killed in every hundred. ln rail
roading theratlo is one man IN oyery
80
Unless the figures are wrong il
would seem that the practical "rail
roadern stands more chance Of being
injured by an accident than the
soldier does Of being wounded. The
The total number of wounded in the
Philippine service during the past
year is given as sol This is about
one in twenty, while the proportion
injured in the railway service is one
in eleven.
Actual military operations have
been in progress for over FIVE months.
Supposng an equal number would
have been wounded if there had been
fighting during the rest of the year,
the proportion of those wounded TO
the number engaged would be the
same as the proportion of accidents
on railroads.
These crude comparisons are
enough to show that there are other
heroes besides those who wear the
government uniform and carry gun.
The home heroes are apt to be grimy
fellows in checked shirts and greasy
overalls. They are modest. They
face danger every day and every
hour of the day. There is little
glamour about their work. There are
no brass bands or cheering crowds
when they go away; no flowers and
bsnquets when they come back. The
chances for winning fame are so
small that they are never taken into
account. Thousands of lives depend
on their care and watchfulness. yet
those whose lives are at stake do not
know these men by name or by sight.
Some one makes a mistake; the rail
road private dies at his post. He
may or may not be named ia the
newspaper. His family draws no
pension. Thesa-are the heroes with
out glory. The everyday world is
full of them.

The worlds Financial Center

The St. Louis Globe Democrat says
Evidences have been frequent for

it has led England, which previously
held the worlds primacy in this inn

years. The money market Of New
York has been more abundantly sup

six months, Notwithstanding the i'm

in this country in general business in
that time. Rates for money have re-.

why some Of the great monetary trans

FROM DRIVER TO PRESIDENT.
Colonel Brien. the Southern Express
Company New Head

Ii is a far journey from the driver s
seat in an Adams Express wagon to
the leather cushioned presidents
chair of great express company.
But that journey has just been ac-
complished by Col NJ j. O'Brien,
the new head of the Southern Ex-
press Comp any, who steps into the
shoes vacated By the death OF Henry
b. Plant.
Colonel 0 Brien climbed the ladder
unaided. He had no pull beyond
tnat furnished by his own braius. he
rose, rung, by rung, by merit alone.
One Of the happiest features Of his
promotion has been the shower of
kilograms from all parts of the COM
pany's system congratulating him
and the company at the choice. They
come from men who have served un-
der him asvice. president and general
manager, men who like him because
he has proved that executive ability
does not necessarily imply q slave
driving disposition nor ability go
hand in hand with niggardllness.
Colonel O'Brien has filed about all
tle Offices from driver to president.
For years he was private secretary
to Mr.. Plant, but be was too valuable
to keep at a desk. SO he was made
superintendent and sent on the road.
He travelled 30, 900 miles a year.
During the war he served in the
Confederate navy and attached to
Commodore POlndexter's feet when
it was destroyed by the Confederates

For years Kingston, Mo, has had a
woman literary society, a woman s suf'

tions with which most towns are blessed

that a woman's club for the reform Of

Gently, and seems to have been success
full. Having learned the signals, they
invaded a private gambling den, broke
up the apparatus and took their hus
bands and lovers home by the ear. AT
the second meeting it entered the
"White Elephant, ostensibly a drug
store but in reality a saloon and closed
that also. The proprietors threaten to
reopen it. The women have notified
them if they do they will clean the
place out the next time. The proprie-
tors, who own an alligator, also threa-
ten that they will "sic" him on them
if they make another raid. The wo-

have no fear of the cayman and it Will
be a sorry day for the brute if they get
