Boyce and Sovereign.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Wallace, Idaho, May 10.-The refusal
to seat Sovereign at the Salt Lake con-
vention is looked upon here as merely
a result of the Boyce- Sovereign con-
troversy. Formerly best OF friends,
these leaders disagreed shortly after
Sovereign took editorial charge of the
organ of the Western Federation of
Miners. No open rupture occurred, al
though for two months Boyce men
haven't visited the office Of the paper,
while Boyce even refuses to read the
official organ of the order of which he
is chief officer.

YERKES GETS St2,0OO,OOO.
Purchase of the Chicago Traction Com
panies About Completed.

Chicago, May 10.-The Times Herald
tomorrow will say: The Chicago end
of the deal of the purchase of the lines
of the North Chicago, West Chicago
and Chicago Consolidated Traction
companies was closed to-day. While
the main deal has not been consum-
mated, and the attorneys and finan-
ciers decline yet to talk, the full! trans
fer of the properties is take place in
New York city this week, if W. C.
Whitney is prepared for the transac-
tion of the business. The transfer of
the holdings of Charles T. Yerkes to the
Elkns- Widener capitalists has taken
place and nets him not to exceed the
sum of s12,000,000 The plan is practic-
ally that under which the Union Trac-
tion company of Philadelphia acquired
control of all the lines of that city. In
many respects the deal is similar to
that in Brooklyn. Practically the same
crowd of capitalists are in the Chica go
deal as were in the other two.

HARMONY IS PREVAILING
Weetern Railroads Say They are
Getting Along Amicably.
AN AWKWARD SITUATION
1t Is Charged That Some of the Lines
Take Export and Import Business
at Almost Any Price, Regard
less of ALI Schedules.

Washington, May 1O.-Among the
terstate commerce hearing We're repre-
sentatives of the Union Pacific, the
Northern Pacific and the Atchison, To-
peha & Santa Fe lines, all of whom
represented that harmony prevails gen
orally among the trunk lines of the
West. All asserted that not only they,
but their neighbors as well, were OBJ
serving the requirements as to pub
llshed> rates. Many prominent West
ern railroad officials are in attend
ance.
The afternoon session was devoted
largely to the discussion of the ques-
ton of exports and imports. This is a
dlsquieting feature in railroad rates
and the cause of much complaint
railroad men and the commission rec,
ognize the difficulty arising from the
fact that the rates on business extend
ing outside the limits of the United
States are fixed largely by foreign car
r1ers and principally by the steamship
companies, but Notwithstanding this
fact it is charged that some of the rail-
road lines take this character of freight
at almost any price and entirely re-
gardless of their own published sched-
ules. The awkward character Of the
situation is realized, however, and all
the railroad men present expressed a
desire to remedy it. They went so far
as to hold a meeting of their own after
the adjournment of the conference with
the commissioners with the hope of be-
ing able to perfect an agreement. They
failed to accomplish this because of the
varied and conflicting interests, and
the entire matter was referred to the
Western Traffic association, of which
j. z. Fletcher of the Fort Scott & Mem
| phis road is chairman.
The committee was instructed to de-
wise plan and submit it to the trunk
| line managers. Aside from this the
| meeting was harmonious and satisfac-
| tory. About 60 roads were represented
at the meeting, and all expressed them
| selves as content to observe their own
rates and convinced that their compe-
| titors were observing them except in
| the matter of export and import busi-
ness. They reported that this condition
had continued since the list of January
and said that altogether the situation
was more satisfactory in this respect
that it has been for many years.
| Another conference will be held on
Friday with the managers of the South
| ern roads.

An Effort to Bring All the Companies
Into a Combination,

Auto SoHDlhat1On.
Boston, May 10.-An attempt is being
made to effect combination Of the
various glue companies in the country
and options on several plants have been
obtained. There are but four glue max
ing concerns in New England, and of
those but one, the American Glue com
pany of this city, with works at Pea
body, is known to have given an option
upon it's business. At the office of the
company it was stated to-day that a
New York syndicate, represented by
Samuel undermyer, was promoting the
trust and that all the concerns of any
prominence, of which there are about
20, would be given a chance to enter.
1t was stated that two of the standard
glue companies have up to the present
time refused to lose their identity in
the amalgamation, the Peter Cooper
company of New York and Baer-Adam-
son of Philadelphia. The largest inter-
ests which it is known are in favor of
consolidation are the Armour Glue com
pany Of Chicago, the, American Glue
company and the Diamond Glue COM
pany of Chicago.

ARGUING THE MOLINEUX CASE.

The Defendants Counsel Resorting to
Every Technicality.
New York May 10.-There was a long
argument in the Roland Molneux case
before Justice Jerome in the court of
special sessions to-day. Barlow S.
Weeks, counsel for Molineux, contend
ed that inasmuch as the grand jury
has passed upon the Identical points at
issue, Justice Jerome had no jurisdic-
ton. Then MI. Weeks said he was
ready for trial and the district attor-
ney seated that he was also ready.
After further deliberation Mr.. Weeks
stated that he would waive examina-
ton and asked Justice Jerome to fix
bail. The justice said that in waving
examination the case was taken out of
his hands. 1t was in the hands Of the
grand jury and he refused to accept
or fix bail. Mr.. Weeks stated that he
would offer no bail, but that he would
take the matter before the grand jury
at once. 1t is expected that inasmuch
as the grand jury failed to find an
indictment against Molineux, in the
first instance, it will again fail to in
dict him.

San Francisco, May 10.-All Pacific
coast records for fast flying by
homing pigeons went glimmering last
Sunday, when two San Francisco birds
left Ashland, Ore, rose over the high
Siskiyou mountains and made their way
to their lofts in this city at an average
rate of nearly 45 miles an hour. Several
birds made the trip practically together,
but the honors go to H. G. Hemelright's
Skyball and John Filmer's Meteor, who
led the rest by few minutes and made
almost the same records. Hemelright
won by the fraction of minute in
race of more than 800 miles. Skyball
made 307 miles, 653 yards in seven
hours and 35 seconds, an average of
1,2S6.50 yards a minute. Meteor made
S06 miles, 1121 yards in seven hours and
