SANTA FEE RELENTs.
Conductor M. Drury of Las Vegas
Taken On Again.

Santa Fe Conductor NJ. c. Drury of
Las Vegas, one of the men discharged
some months ago for alleged implica-
ton in a scheme to defraud the COM
pany by carrying certain passengers
at low cash fare and pocketing the
money, has been reinstated by General
Superintendent Nudge. Conductor
Drury is a veteran railroad man of that
section, entering the service of the road
as bagga geman in 1880. 1t is said that
his long service had much to do with
his reinstatement.
Five of the conductors discharged
were reinstated al one time. Conductor
Drury is the sixth to be put back to
work, and there are now but five out of

NO NEW CATECHISM.
Subject Is Indefinitely Postponed by
Cumberland Presbyterians.

Denver, May Pa majority of the
commissioners of the Cumberland Pres
byterian General assembly scattered
today on excursions to the mountains
having finished late last night the bus
iness of this years session. An import
ant act of church legislation accomp-
lished by the assembly will revolution
lie the government of church boards
which have heretofore been self-perpet-
Uating, nominations to fill vacancies
being made by the boards and APPROX
ed by the general assembly. The charge
was made that this method has led to
inefficiency and a tendency to clique
rule. The Lebanon. Tenn, Presbytery
proposed an amendment to the consti-
tuition giving the general assembly ex-
elusive power over the appointment of
members of the boards and taking from
the boards the authority to nominate
The amendment was adopted by
large majority. The question of franz

TO CUT RATES.
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Aggrieved at the Santa Fe
and Union Pacific.

The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific roads announced yesterday that
during the meeting of the National Ed
vocational association in Los Angeles
they will make as low rates from St
Paul to Portland, Tacoma and Seattle
are made by other lines to South Pa
cific coast points. The rate now agreed
upon is one fare for the round trip but
when the business begins to move in
July it is almost certain that there will
be reductions in rates to all Pacific
coast points.
The lines reaching California via the
Ogden gateway threaten to cut rates
to Los Angeles, unless the Union Pa
cifc put a stop to what they consider
is discrimination against them and in
favor of the Santa Fe. One thing GER
tain is that the Santa Fe, practically
having its own rails all the way from
Chicago to Los Angeles, will be able to
meet the competition of any rival route.

Dewey is BETTER.
Cool Mountain Air Is Doing
Him Good.

New York, May pa dispatch to the
Journal from Hong Kong says:
Admiral Dewey shows great improve
ment already. Installed spaciously at
the Peak hotel, with lofty windows that
catch every mouthful of wind from the
sea, he is losing the air of languor that
he wore when he landed from his Bills
tered cruiser.
1t was rest that he needed-rest and
cooled air. He is getting both. So
ciety at the Peak is we'll bred. There
are no disturbing factors there. 1t is
here that the English officers and their
wives, the government officials, the
rich merchants and distinguished trav-
elers take refuge from the heat and noise
of the town. They all feel a deep in
terest in the hero of Manila bay, but
they respect his desire for quiet.
He has become one of themselves al
ready. With the ease of a polished
man of the world he has dropped into
his place in the little community that
really resembles a house party at an
English country residence.
Strangers to that community cannot
intrude upon him, however. The gov
eminent detectives see to that and so
do the detectives hired by Consul Gen
era1 Wildman. So do the swarms of
Chinese servants.
If the Filipino junta ever meant more
than buster by its hints of assassina-
ton. it has been thoroughly cowed by
the British police. Howard Bray, the
English confederate of the insurgents
has been suddenly stricken dumb. So
have his American fellow SchemerS
These people received bruSque warning
from the authorities that if they did
not behave themselves they would be
treated to a dizzy surprise. The Fill
pinos themselves were similarly eau
toned and are under close surveillance
AT dusk today, when the sea breeze
set in, Admiral Dewey took a walk
along the bluff with Consul Wildman
and they remained out for half an
hour. The victor'S bearing was alert
and his voice vigorous.
