MORGAN'S TRIP.
Ra Goes Abroad for Conference With
William K. Vanderbilt.
Big Railroad Deal Looked fer By Wall Street
Men as the Result

New York, March 2S Concerning the
European trip OF j. Pierpont Morgan
which begins today. the Herald says
Mr.. Morgan is 20 meet William X. Van
derbilt in London TO arrange IL is said
big railroad deal for which Wall
street has been waiting and hoping for
at least two years. Important European
financial interests are also to be seen
regarding ,ihe matter.
Beyond that Il directly concerns the
New York Central and its allied lines.
no intimation OF the real nature of the
matter whicn makes necessary a con-
ference between Morgan and MIR. Van
derbilt can be obtained.
Wall street knows that the two men
are more closely allied now than before
and that they had plans In common
for the develoDTnewt OF big railroad
schemes, even before they stood togeth-
er In the December panic to protect mu-
tual interests and one another's friends.
1t is known that the Morgan and
Vanderbilt railroads are now working
harmoniously even as they never did
before. and Wall street has a vague
notion that in the Vanderbilt plans. the
western extension OF the great New
York Central system, Mr. Morgan cuts
more of figure than is generally be-
lieved

IMPORTANT CHANGES MADE
IN THE HARB0R REGULATIONS.

sThe newly printed harbor regulations
are being presented to steamboat cap
tains by Harbormaster Bucklin, so
that all OF the shippers will be well
posted. The greatest and most i'm
portant change in the regulations is
in section 3, which reads as follows:
rNo steamboat shall proceed at a
greater speed than five miles an hour
between Sassafras Point and Crawford
street bridge, in entering or leaving or
moving within the harbor."
The old speed limit was seven miles
an hour between Crawford street
bridge and Fox Point This reduction
OF speed within the harbor will be
greatly appreciated by owners Of small
vessels and yachts who do not like to
have their lines parted and the crafts
banged against the wharves by the
waves from the onrushing boats.
A change has also been made in see
tion s. which now reads:
Every vessel drawing more than 20
feet of water. and approaching the har-
bor at any other than high tide snall
anchor below The Crook. ESQ called)
until the tide shall warrant a free pas
sage"
This section formerly applied to YES

Mr.. MEkD'S ADDRESS ON VOICE
CT THE 0l0 SOUTH CHURCH.

Edwin d. Mead of Boston last even
! ing spoke before the Rhode Island His
torical society, on THE Voice of the
| Old South Meeting House" and IN the
| course OF his tax he spoke of the
| founding Of the Old Colonial church.
Mr.. Mead said In substance: 1t is for
the historical. political and secular
things that we love the old South
Meeting house. Ii has done us the
grtate.b service, and we are glad thar
IL is SO because that fact Itself teaches
us. IL seems TO me- the greatest les
sons which history has TO teach, and
the greatest lessons needed by this Re
pubnc and by Us all. the lessons Of the
identity OF religion and of politics"
Mr.. Mead went on to say that when
ever religious men whenever religious
movements have been OF an influential
source IN this world, they have at once
p ssed TO politics. rJohn Calvin's name
nowadays is nor "a very fashionable
name. People fatter themselves that
they have got quite beyond him in re-
ii ion and J. hope in some things we
have better ideas, although j am con-
iident In many things great many
peonle hqrc werse IDEAS whatever we
may think about Calvin relgio

England becomes us always to remem-
Der that he was one Of the greatest
men who have ever lived M this world.
and that his influence upon the found
ing of New England was greater than
that OF any other man, Luther not ex-
cepted. In this New England wilder
ness We have Calvinism."
The Old sluth Meeting House is the
greatest monument TO that Puri-
tanism which planted New England

APPLES HIS BAIT.
Williamsburg Man Sends a Love
Message in a Barrel.
He Seeks an Honest Helpmlie and Has No
0hjactIOn 10 Widows.

Love in a barrel Of apples is the
latest from the village of Crompton. A
clerk in a store found this note tied TO
rosy apple:
ITO whom IL may concern-I, the man
that packed these apples, am a man of
means, with a nice farm; also "A large
fruit orchard. ! am 25 years old, sim
gle, but would like TO get a good, hon
est woman for a wife; no objection To
widows. Good home for the right per-
son. Hope this will reach destination.

The clerk was perplexed and very
unromantic. Instead of turning the
missive over TO one of the young wom-
en- customers OF the establishment he
joked about the offer of marriage and
told all the country boys about that
section.
Now everybody in Crompton is
guessing where the town of Williams
burg, Mass. is. and who controls box

Goodror Consideration Of Mica
rnaua Canal Bill This Session.

Washington, April 2i,--The report
Of the committee which has been
investigating the charges against
senator Clark of Montana was
giyen to the senate this week.
The report proper Is comparatively
brief, covering only about fifteen
pages Of printed matter, II does not
rehearse the testimony, but simply
presents the findings OF the commit"
tee and It's reasons for Its course The
finding OF the committee IN stated as
follows: "The finding or the commit
tee IL that the election to the senate
of William A., Clark, Of Montana, Is
null and void onUccount OF briberies,
attempted briberes and corrupt prac'
tices by agents and Of violation OF
the laws Of Montana defining and
punishing crimes against the elect
i've franchise"
In view Of this finding, the commit
tee reports and unanimously recon-
mcnds the adoption by the senate OF
the following resolution;
"Resoyed, That William A. Clark
was not duly and legally elected to a
seat in the senntc Of the United
States by the legislature of the state
of Montana"
The report concludes with II strong
recommendation for early conFldcro-
tion Of the case, us follows
"The senute should, as duty to
itself and TO the country demonstrate
by It's action In this case that seats in
the United States senate procured as
Senator Clnrk's has been procured can
not be retained ~ deliberate judg'
ment of the senate, The senate also
owes n duty to thepeople of Montana
who, conscious Of the bad rcputc in
to which the state has fallen by rcN'
son of vast expenditures of money in
connection with Is elections, mani
tested such n public sentiment that
the legislature Of l'2i passed n stat
ute which, II ohcycd, would have re-
deemed the state from its bad name
"For the direct and gross viola
tions Of that statute and the conse'
quent discredit which continues tc
rest upon the state, Montana has q
right to expect q prompt and dc"s
i've remedy from the action of tht
senate upon the report of this com
mittee,"
