DEMANDS A DETRIMENTAL.
The 800" Line Exacts IA Concession
in -. PauI-New York Rates,

CHICAGO, April I2.-At a conference
with the general passenger agents of the
Chlcago-St. Paul roads the representative
OF the 500 Line, of the Canadian Pa
cific, made a demand for differential rates
to New York via Montreal. He refused to
withdraw with the present cut rates un-
less given the privilege of making a rate
less by 81 from ST. Paul TO New York
than is made by any of the direct lines of
the United States. The western lines
fatly refused 10 grant the 500" road S
request.
The demand made by the. Canadian Pa
cifc's line for differential rates greatly
surprised officials of the other roads. Two
years ago the Canadian Pacific and its
competitors in this country agreed that
the Interstate Commerce Commission
should act as arbitrator of the question of
the right of the Canadian Pacific to differ
entail passenger rates. The decision of
the Commission, acting as board of ar
duration, was that the Canadian Pacific
was not entitled to any differential rates.
For time the Canadian Pacific made a
pretense of abiding by the decision. The
vanderbilt lines have manifested a will
ingness to join the Western lines in
meeting the cut rates of the Canadian
Pacific. The Eastern differential lines.
however, object to doing SO on the
ground they do not want the Lake
Shore and Michigan Central, which are
the standard lines, to be allowed to accept
the same proportionate rates as differen-
tial lines.
The demand now made by the Canadian
Pacific 500" line for differentials may
induce the differential lines to extend the
assistance asked by the Chicago-St. Paul
roads to compete with the 800" line.
The question will be decided at confer
ence TO be held this afternoon.

REFORM IN CHURCH RULES.
Methodists May Drop Prohibition of
Certain AmusementS.

Certain AmusementS
CHICAGO April 12-The Methodists of
Chicago, ministers as well as laymen. are
inclined TO indorse the action taken by
the New York East Conference at Dan
bury, Conn. looking toward a revision of
the rigid rules of the church regarding
card playing and theatregoing. They say
there is no question but that the General
Conference. which will meet at the Au-
dtorium the first week in MAY. will be
asked to strike out that part of the church
rules prohibiting such pastimes. and the
subject Will be one Of the topics to be dis
cussed by the Methodist Episcopal preach
ers' meeting on next Monday. The Rev.
John j. Brushingham. ID. D.. of the First
Methodist Church. said:
1T was John Wesleys rule that no
amusements should be INDUCED in by
members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church except they be acceptable in the
name Of our Lord Jesus Christ leaving the
exact Interpretation to the conscience Of
the individual. This was the rule of
Methodists until the. act of 1872, which
stated specifically that certain amuse-
ments. such as dancing, card playing and
theatregoing. should be prohibited among
members of this church.
Il consider the enactment Of 1872 great
mistake. / believe a great many consci-
entious young people are kept out of the
Methodist Church on account OF the strict
Interpretation put upon amusement"
John Farson, of Farson. Leach e. Co
an ardent follower of Methodism. believes
that some modification of the rules of the
church will be made at the General Con-
ference.
The equal representation of lavmen
may orlng about many reforms. he said
There is no question that the strict dis
cipline has kept and is driving MANY vouny

COAL FAMINE IN GERMANY
The supply Inadequate and Much
Annoyance Results.

Consul General Guenther writes from
Frankfort, March 8, 1900:
There has never been a year in the his
tory of Germany when greater demands
had been made upon the coal production.
Although the output of 1899 was over 1OO.-
600. 900 tons, against sc, 600, 600 tons in 1888
and 81, 900, 000 in 1897, the supply has been
entirely inadequate, and much embarrass-
ment and annoyance have resulted The
selling price of coal increased during 1899
over 1898 from 80 to 80 per cent and coke
from 80 to 80 per cent.
THE Minister of Commerce has sent a
letter to the coal-mine owners of Upper
Silesia, asking whether the production
could be essentially advanced by an in
crease in the number of shafts at the
mines. at the same time assuring them of
state aid in case of an affirmative answer
The commission appointed by the Minis
ter of Public Works to report concerning
the repeal of the exceptional tariff on coal
has agreed that there can be no question
of making concessions for the importations
of foreign coal generally, but that it is ad-
visable TO make exceptions in individual
cases"
