st. Louis, Jan. 20.--The arrival of
the executive heads of four railway
orders in st. Louis yesterday for the
purpose of comforting with the griev-
ance committee of the Wabash rail
way led to all sorts of con lectures
one of which was that the conference
had been called to adjust certain 5if-
ferences between railroads and IT,, ir
employees and to consider the advisa-
bility of asking general sweeping
increase in wages. Diligent inquiry
by the Associated press last night
failed to confirm n movement of such
magnitude. Chief lArthur, of 9 the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Ea.gi-
neers, was asked il he had any obNc!
ton to stating why the heads Of the
four orders had been called to St,

Talk on the African War.
The ALLEN RESOLUTION PASSED.
The Pension Appropriation Bill Passed by
the HOuse-Mr. Curtis Scores the Com
missioner Of Pensi0ns-A Rider
Put on the Bill.

Washington, Jan. 20.-A speech,
sensational in its interest and inter
national in its Importance, was de-
livered in the senate yesterday by
Senator Hale (republican), of Maine
The occasion of the utterance was the
simple question whether a resolution
introduced by Senator Allen (pOpu
list, of Nebraska, calling for informa
ton as to the recognition by this copn-
try Of diplomatic representation of the
Transvaal republic should be directed
to the president Or to the secretary of
state. Senator Hale made the ques
ton the text Of an impassioned speech
in which he declared that nine-tenths
of the American people sympathize
with the Beers in their gallant strug
gle for liberty against one of the
greatest powers in the world. He de-
clared that the war which Great Brit
ain is waging is he most fell blow at
human liberty that has been struck
in the century. He denied that ths
American people were ''in sympathy
with Great Britain in the South AfrL
can war to stamp out the liberty OF
the people," and when Mr. Balfour, in
the house of commons, made such \
statement she should be met with
some disclaimer from this side Of the
Atlantic" He declared that the Eng
fish people themselves were not In
favor of the war which chad been
brought on by sharp cabinet minis
ter engaged with gold spectators"
Senator Hale spoke with unusual
force, decisiveness and earnestness.
even for him, and his passionate elo
quence claimed the closest attention
of every auditor.
The resolution, which previous to
Senator Hale's speech had caused a
sharp colloquy between Senator Allen
and Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin,
was passed finally as amended.
Senator Morgan (democrat), of Ala
oama, addressed the senate briefly on
the financial bill.
At 1855 o'clock the senate adjourned
until Monday.
Pension Appropriation Bill Passed.
Washington, Jan. 2O.-The pension
appropriation bill, carrying $l45,2i5,-
$50, was passed by the house yester-
day. 1t was made the vehicle of an
attack upon the commissioner of pen
sions by Mr.. Curtis (republican), of
Kansas, who was seconded by Mr..
Lentz and Mr.. Norton, of Ohio, and
Mr.. Robinson, of Indiana, and other
northern democrats. All inveighed
against the lack of liberality in the
administration of the pension laws.
The commissioner was ably defended
by score of members from both
sides of the house. Mr.. Mahon ire
publican), of Pennsylvania, charged
that the assault upon him had been
instigated by the "pension sharks"
Of this city, who were robbing the
old soldiers. AS result of the lat
ter's disclosures rider was put upon
the bill by unanimous consent empow
