STRIKE SETTLED.
The YorkyilIe Miners Get a Small
Advance.

The Yorkville miners have settled
their strike and will go back to work
Monday morning. A settlement was
made late Friday evening. The men
have been out for several weeks, the
trouble being the refusal of the own
ers to pay the men for removing slate
and stone from their rooms. The set
tlement is only temporary, as the new
scale goes into effect April 1st, which
provides for such work, which is
known as dead work. The settlement
will give the men about twenty cents
a day advance.

DAMAGE TO THE RAILROADS

NEW ORLEANS, April 23.-One of the
heaviest rain storms of the season occurred
here during the night and New Orleans was
flooded Today In the northern and east
etp sections Of the city water covers streets
and sidewalks and RATS had to be used to
reach street cars The city Is suffering
commercially as a result of the Mississippi
floods and the crippled condition of four
railroad lines entering New Orleans.
The Illinois Central is operating partial
service, but the Northeastern is still COM
pletely blocked. Illinois Central excursion
trains that went out yesterday morning
could not get back until today, passengers
suffering much inconvenience. All night
trains have been temporarily suspended on
the Louisville and Nashville Through day
trains, however will be operated, arrange
ments having been made to ferry passen-
gers. mail and baggage across the bay at
Pascagoula, where the bridge has been de-
stroyed. No freight is being moved.
More Rain In Mississippi.
MERIDIAN, Miss, April 23.-Additional
rains have added gravity to the flood situa-
ton in the surrounding country. The stu
alton in several towns which are water
bound is growing desperate. Foodstuffs are
running short and relief is nowhere in
sight. Reports from the interior begin to
come in showing the devastation.
Farmers are abandoning farms as worth
less and entering the service Of railroads,
which employ all applicants. Property in
this city suffered great damage in last
nights storm. Fifteen inches Of rain have
fallen here so far this month.

MAY REJECT BIDS.
Probable Action of Commissfoner.
Respecting Garbage DfsposaI

The proposals received last week by the
District Commissioners for the collection
and disposal of garbage and other waste
ana refuse were today considered by them
In board meeting. 1t Is understood rlat in
view OF the fact that the funds for doing
the work have not been provided, and in
view OF the further fact that there is such
great difference between the bids submit
TED, the Commissioners concluded to take
no action at the present time. The most
advantageous proposal from the Districts
standpoint is said to be that under which
the bidder agreed to collect and destroy all
waste and refuse. including garbage and
asnes. Tor the sum of 100000 per annurn.
BUT IN this connection 1t is stated that
While the pending District appropriation
provides the sum OF 10000 for collecting
and disposing OF garbage and similar waste
10 De expended under the supervision Of
the health department. IT provides the
sum of $4,000 for collecting and re-
moving ashes, such work to be under
the supervision of the street cleaning de-
paftment In view of this fact providing
the DILL as approved, contains these items
IN the form in which they left the Senate
IL Is said to be not unlikely that the Conn
Wlssioners viii reject the bids received last
week and invite separate ones SO as TO
place the work of supervising the collection
cleaning department and the collection and
disposal OF garbage and like waste and
refuse under the health department 1t is
also believed that the Commissioners favor
the destruction of the waste and refuse in
preference to the reduction process

PENNSYLVANIA Ruys A ROAD.
Western New York and Pennsylvania
Latest Acquisition.

PHILADELPHIA. April 23.-f is stated
ON good authority that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has secured control Of
the Western New York and Pennsylvania
railroad. A meeting Of the directors of the
latter company was held late this afternoon.
at which announcement is said to have
been made that the Pennsylvania railroad
will take the Western New York stock at
s. per share, and the ten million income
bonds at $50, the present market price.
This will necessitate an expenditure of
SC, 100000 by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. The Western New York and
Pennsylvania will earn this year $3JO,oOO
in excess of fixed charges. which will give
the Pennsylvania railroad approximately
per cent on its investment.
This deal will obviate the necessity of the
Pennsylvania's proposed line to Buffalo and
will give the Pennsylvania and New York
Central railroads absolute control of the
soft coal trade in the east.

THE ECUMENICAL CONFERENCE,
Noted Missionaries Deliver Addresses
on Their Work,

NEW YORK, April 23.-The first business
session Of the ecumenical conference on
foreign missions began simultaneously at
$50 o'clock today in Carnegie Hall and the
Central Presbyterian Church. Walter B.
Sloan, secretary Of the inland mission of
China, led the devotional exercises in Car
negie Hall, and the Rev. James Cunning
ham, NJ. A., of the Memorial Presbyterian
Church of Wansworth, London, conducted
exercises at the Central Presbyterian
Church. At Carnegie Hall the Rev. DR..
Augustus H. Strong. president of Rochester
Theological Seminary, delivered an address
on the Authority and Purpose Of Foreign
Missions
At the conclusion of DR.. Strong's address
the Rev. J. Hudson Taylor, founder of the
China inland mission, spoke on THE Source
and Power in Foreign Missions
Robert e. Speer, secretary Of the board of
foreign missions Of the Presby terrain Church
of the United States. spoke on The Su-
Ireme and Determining in Foreign Mis-
slons." He denied that foreign missions are
designed to overturn existing governments.
He took the position that the establishing
of schools and hospitals, while good and
civilizing agencies, are liable to subvert the
religious aim.
Our work Is not philanthropic, political
or secular NOV ement," he said. II would
rather plant one germ of the life of Christ
beneath the crust OF heathenism than to
cover their lands with new social institu-
tons"
His address closed the morning session.

TESTING AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
III Satisfactory German Manufacturer
Will Use Them as Models

In a recent report to the State Depart
ment Consul Frank H. Mason. at Berlin
relates that trials and tests of the efficiency
of American locomotives are now taking
place in Germany. BY reason of their
great boiler space and the extent Of their
heating surface. American locomotives. he
says, are much more economical than those
now in use on German railways. 1t is very
evident, however. that, like other American
machines that have been thus tested by the
Germans, the locomotives have been
brought over to be studied and used as mod
els to be initiated by German builders, and
that no idea of obtaining supply of loco
motives built In the United States is enter
tanned for moment. Though not profitable
to American builders, Sill a sincere and
fattering compliment is bestowed in the ac-
Acknowledgement of American superiority in
this respect. Consul Mason says il also
illustrates the Importance of protecting as
far as possible, by German patents, every
American invention or improvement sold
for use In Germany.
