DISCUSS THE BOER WAR
DELEGATES TO METHODIST CONFER
ENCE IN HOT DEBATE.
They Take Sides for and Against the
Policy of Great
Britain.

LONDON, September Ga stormy meet
ing of the ecumenical Methodist conference
resulted today from the reading by the
Rev. c. w. Smith of Pittsburg, Pa, of a
paper on The Influence of Methodism in
the Promotion of International Peace
The tive-minute rule was adopted, and the
pastors made fiery speeches for and against
the war in South Africa. The campaign
came in for a lot of criticism, and finally
the chairman ruled reference to it out OF
order. Many Americans took part in The
discussion but none of the more prominent
bishops spoke. The speeches were pune
tuated by frequent noisy Interruptions and
cheers and counter cheers. There was a
scene OF considerable disorder, and the dis
CusSioE terminated without any conclusion
being reached.
The Rev. George Elliott of Detroit, say
ing he had often been called little Amer
lean. bitterly denounced the war.
The Rev. r. j. Cooke of Chattanooga de-
Tended the necessity of hestilities to Vindi-
cate a principle.
The Rev. J. NJ. King of Philadelphia said
the best solution of the question was in
President McKinley's sentences uttered at
Buffalo, as follows:
The period of eXclusiveness IS past. The
expansion of our trade and commerce is
the pressing problem. Commercial wars
are unprofitable. policy of good will and
friendly trade relations will prevent re-
priSals. Reciprocity treaties are in har-
mony with the spirit of the times: meas
of retaliation are not"
The reading of President Mckinley'S re-
marks brought fOrths loud applause.
Robert W. Perks, member of parlia-
ment. prominent contractor and vice
president of the Liberal Imperial Council,
deprecated the usefulness of clerical mani
festOs. He believed that some wars were
necessary, but the growing tendency to-
ward unnecessary strife was due greatly
to the influence of corrupt, unlicensed jour
naliSm.
The Rev f. E. Hoss of Nashville Tenn,
said it would be impertinence for the con-
ference tC tell Great Britain what to do in
South Africa

Railway Magnates Holding Impor-

E. 0. MCCORMICK OUTLINES PLAN
Effort to Be Made to Increase
Trade in the East.
BIG INTERESTS INVOLVED

CHICAGO September ct was learned
today that since last Monday the working
heads of every road embraced in the Harri-
man syndicate have been holding Tecret
sessions in Chicago, and these meetings
are to continue till the end of next week.
Among the officials present are j. C..
Stubbs, general traffic director of the
Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Cen
tral Pacific systems; e. o. Mccormick,
general passenger traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific; E. L. LomaX, general
passenger agent of the Union Pacific; Ben
Campbell general traffic manager of the
Oregon railway and Navigation Company
A. l.. Craig, general passenger agent of the
same road, ard D. E. Hurley, general pas
senger agent of the Oregon short line. All
of these officials brought with them their
stenographers and secretaries. and are
quartered at the Auditorium annex. None
of them are registered, and the greatest
secrecy has been preserved concerning
their movements
When it became known in railroad circles
that the meeting was being held it was
said that it's object was to start a vigorous
campaign for the purpose of bringing to
the Pacific coast and from there to eastern
centers of commerce every dollars worth
of traffic that can be diverted to this coun-
try from the orient.
E. o. McCormick's Views.
F. o. Mccormick general passenger traf-
f1c manager of the Southern Pacific, said:
The little stream of trade that started
across the Pacific practically with the
opening of the Philippine campaign is be-
ginning to increase to such an extent that
it will rapidly develop into a mighty river
We believe that we have made such pro-
vision for this magnificent trade as will
at least take care of it's beginnings We
have the Occidental and Oriental lines Of
steamers, the Pacific mail and the Japa-
nese line and vessels the equal of any on
the Atlantic ocean will soon be added to each
of these fleets. Our agents are now trav-
cling all through the orient seeking trade
in every city and hamlet and planting the
seed of what we believe will soon be
vast and rapidly increasing commerce.
None of the other participants in the
conference would discuss it's real charac-
ter, except to state that schedules and de-
tails of passenger traffic were being look
ed into and equaliZed 1t is known how
ever, that one of the principal objects of
the meetings, outside of the main and all
important item of oriental trade extern
sion, Is the settlement of the proportions
Of traffic between the various lines en-
braced by the combine.

NEW YORK, September G.-The Evening
Post says Local merchants whose business
has been affected by the depredatons of
the guerrilla bands operating along the
1sthmus of Panama suggest that it is about
time the United States landed troops under
the treaty with Colombia TO put a stop to
the disturbances which are injuring trade
and threatening American property. They
also declare that the shutting off of mill
tary supplies to the insurgents which are
being shipped from this port would do
much toward ending the existing trouble
Ship captains who during the last few
weeks have visited ports in Venezuela saw
that large supplies of arms from Belgium
and Germany are being landed in that
country.

Stoa':y Declares She VIII Not Join a
Labor Union


Tie government printing office Is not

employe who is eligible to join a union and
who stoutly declares that she Will not do
so. This is Miss Mary Callaghan, who for
twenty-five years has been an employe of

vigorous steps have been taken to organize
all thc pressfeeders in the ONCE, and this
morning this work had so far progressed

Miss Callaghan. She reported for duty as
usual There had been rumors that union
men and women would not work with
non-union pressfeeder and that a grand
strike would take place IL the non-union
employe went to work. When she came she
was given a seat and allowed to wait until
1t could be determined what course would
be pursued. Naturally no one expected a
strike in the big printing shop today be-
cause strike against the government is a
pretty serious thing to order but the r,mor
was Sufhclent to stir up the office and place
everybody III condition of expectation.
After waiting a couple of hours Miss CAL
iaghan was given leave to resume her work
and everything progressed satisfactorily

many of the union peopIe What will he
