Memphis System May Be Taken from
 St Louis and San Francisco.
 Kansas City, Mo, Dec 21.-The Jour- nal says: A report is current here that George Gould. working with Ma thaniel Thayer, had secured the con- trolling stock in the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis railroad, and that the Memphis system will be taken out of the hands of the St Louis and San Francisco, which has operated it for the past several months, and will be made an independent property, i'll which the Gould interests predominate.
 According to this report, Nathaniel Thayer who has long been one of the principal stockholders on the Memphis system, was dissatisfied with the op- eration of that property by the 'Fris- co, believing the latter road had taken a Memphis route equipment for use on Frisco lines, leaving lines of the Memphis system unprovided for and had otherwise used the Memphis prop erty for the benefit of the Frisco. It is said that Mir Thayer and MT Gould conferred with the result that Thayer agreed if Gould would buy enough Memphis stock to give his own and the interests represented by Thayer control. that the property would be turned over to Gould management, and that this plan has been followed out.

Considers Recent Conference Greatest
 Step Ever Taken for Labor.
 Washington. Dec 21.-Senator Han- na, chairman of the committee of six teen, who has just returned from the capital-labor conference in New York, was at the White House yesterday and talked most hopefully of the results of the conference T consider the con- ference" said he, s'the greatest step ever taken for the speedy settlement of disputes arising between labor and capital. The organization of capital, which has come to stay, was an evolu- tion naturally preceded by the organ iZation of labor, which has also come to stay, and the concentration of the interests of the two sides, which should be friendly, not hostile, into the hands of comparatively few individuals. will make for the best interests of both. Too much, of course, must not be expected at first. The agreement reached at the New York conference was simply q platform and the good that is to result from it must develop in the future. The public must not get the idea that We are to revolutioniZe everything relating to the condition of labor and capital or that the joint com mittee is to undertake arbitration by compulsion. In fact, we are opposed to compulsory arbitration. We believe we can accomplish more by getting into closer touch and contact with la- Dor. The first step will be to estab- fish relationship between the two interests and this will serve as a foundation to work on. While we do not expect that there will be no strikes they will be minimized as a result of the conciliatory and arbitration poli- cy."
 Mir Hanna said he expected the com mittee to meet during the winter to adopt bylaws and elaborate still fur. ther the scheme of arbitration.

A PUBLIC AToNEMENT.
Chinese Officials Conduct Funeral for
 Slain Christians.

Slain Christians.
 PHKING, Dec. 21.-The officials of Tungchow have given remarkable funeral to a number of native Chris tians who were massacred last year. This action was taken in accordance with an agreement between the mis- sionaries and the officials by which the missionaries were to refrain from de manding the punishment of those gull ty of murdering the Christians ii the officials would make public atonement for the crimes and impress the people with respect for missionaries and con- verts.
 The funeral procession traversed the principal streets of the walled city Qf Tungchow. There were seventy collins to be inferred, and these were followed by hundreds of relatives of the victims. The procession was composed of com pany of Chinese cavalry, company or infantry, several bands and hundreCx; of men carrying gaudy funeral em- lyems. The procession took two hours to pass the reviewing stand, where were gathered the city officials, Gener- al Ma, commander of the Chinese troops who besieged Tientsin; MT. Con- ger, American minister to China, and many American and English missiona- ries.
 An immense crowd witnessed the funeral services at the cemetery. The Chinese troops, the police and the fu- neral attendants formed in square, with the officials, the missionaries and the white clad mourners in the center near the graves. Chinese officials from fifty villages where the Christian con- verts had been massacred attended the interment and bowed before the ban ners as they eulogized the Christians for having died in defense of their faith These officials subsequently sign ed documents guaranteeing protection to the Chinese Christians if they would return to their homes.
 The missionaries and the Chinese Christians travelled in a special train from Peking to Tungchow. After the funeral services in the temple the Chi nese officials rendered banquet to the missionaries and the converts. Similar funerals will be held in other towns.

New Haven Parties Suffer Loss of
 About S25. 900.

New Haven, Conn, Dec 21.-Fire of unknown origin badly damaged the Atwater block at the junction of Grand avenue and St John street about o'clock this morning.

The firemen succeeded, however. in confin- ing it to the middle of the block, little damage being caused elsewhere except by water.
 1t is estimated that the total loss will be about $25.O00, including dam- age to the building of $10,000. The machinery of the Barnes Tool com pany, which occupies the third and fourth floors, suffered much injury by fire and water, and John Peckham's plating shop on the second floor was also damaged.

 Health Merely Impaired.
 Washington, Dec- 21.--Dr w. $. Dix on, the physician in attendance upon Rear Admiral w. T. Sampson, made the Following statement regarding his patients condition:
 "The admiral is not in any immedi- ate danger. His body is in it's usual condition. He is out for exercise every day, weather permitting. He goes to the table for his meals. He sits with his family after dinner, es- pecially, and spends his evenings wherever they sit, either ill the dining room, drawing room or library. He smokes his cigar after dinner. He usu- ally sleeps very well. He has not a trained nurse, nor does he need the services of one. He is not feeble, but is impaired in health. His heart action is quite vigorous. His life may be prolonged for many years, or it may he very brief so far as anyone knows. I call at the admirafs residence once day, but before going there am fully prepared to find him in the same con- dition that 1 did the day before"

SMALLPOX STORY \ FA
Absolutely No Trufr IF the lsuIaor.


 Say pilT aAs
 There is absoliltc ,2 s.sEt4 Gt the rumor regarding the ,x-sfS D-a of small pox among the cl dIaa William Morrissey and others oal I,alIwin lane, and it is unfortunate i1l many ways that such a story siDull haye got into the public prints MT Morrlssey in- formed the selectmen yesterday -after- noon that two of his children had some sickness which appeared rather4 sus- picious, and Town Physician Galley was notified. Accompanied by Town Health Officer O'Hara the house was visited, and the children found to be suffering from ulcers, the exact nature of which was not determined at the time. In some manner, for which the physicians disclaim any responsibility, the story got around as to tlIe likeli~, hood of the sickness being smallpox, and of course the story spread like fire and soon was on everybody's lips.
 Town Health Officer O'Hara, City Health Officer Frost and Town Phy- sician Galley made a thorough exam- ination of the cases to-day, and have authorized the publication that there is no cause to be alarmed.
 ''It is a case of eczema, or, in other WOfQS, WudC ulSul De leFMeu Sull- rheum," said Dr O'Hara to q Demo- crat reporter at noon today. r have mad lots of such cases in my prae- tice, and pr Frost has some at the present time. Every physician has them from time to time, but they take no more notice of them than of other ordinary cases. I'm very sorry such a report got out, but I suppose it can't be helped now. There isn't a thing to De alarmed about. There never was any doubt in my mind about it, but in order to make the thing as eiear--as possible I thought 1t would not be bad plan to have the opinion of the city health officer, too. The health of the town of Waterbury was never bet ter during my connection with the health office than it is to-day, and so far as | know there is no serious sick ness in the city, either''
 This is good news and no doubt everybody will be pleased to hear it.

Minister Fielding of Canada Offers
 Station on Nova Scotian Seaboard.
 St Johns, N. F., Dec 2l.-Finance Minister Fielding, of the dominion government, telegraphed Marconi to- day from Ottawa, offering him, in be half of the Canadian cabinet, every fa- cility for erecting wireless telegraph stations on the Nova Scotian seaboard, making him most encouraging proposi- tions. assuring him that there is no obstacle in the way of his carrying out shfs experiments in Canadian ter ritpry and inviting him to Ottawa to discuss the matter. In consequence of this fiattering proposal, Marconi will leave St Johns for Ottawa tomorrow night. He will meet at Montreal the capitalists who, through Governor Boyle, have offered him financial SUD- port in his ventures.
 London. Dec 21.-The fall in the se- curities of cable companies, which commenced with the announcement of the success of Marconi's experiments in having signals transmitted across the ocean by his wireless system of tel egraphy, has been continuous through ont the week. Since December 14 Anglo-American preferred have drop ped seven points and ordinary shares have dropped four points, While East ern Telegraph was a close second with a fall of 51k points
 Quite apart from the speculative bear movement, there has been a real selling of stock. The opposition of the Anglo-American company to Mar conPs experiments appears to have in creased the apprehension of the share holders of cable companies as to the probability of serious competition in the near future.
