 to Other State Executives.

St. Paul, Nov 21.--Letters were sent out to-day from the governors office addressed to the governors of North Dakota, Montana, Nebraska, Washing ton, Idaho and Oregon, suggesting CO., operation in the fight against the rail- road merger and asking the state eX- ecutives to suggest plans for concerted Action. It is not likely that there will be formal meeting for conference, but by correspondence a plan may be agreed upon.
 The Dispatch to-day says: Judge Jamison, the governors private secre- tary, stated to-day at Redwing that the governor and the members of his off cial family have carefully looked into the legal phases of the Great Northern Northern Pacific consolidation. and there is no doubt the promoters of the Northern Securities company are try ing to do by indireetion what they could not do directly. He admitted that certain legal aspects of the North ern Securities company are still in doubt, but said that in few days these will be passed upon by competent legal authorities. No date has been fixed by the governor for calling the conference with other governors. He declined to commit himself with regard to the ex- tra session, but left the impression that one would be called

 Trainer McMasters said to-day that the condition of the men is better than the condition of last years team before the Yale game.

M'KlNLEY MEMORIAL PLANS
AR EFFORT TO BE MADE TO SET
 TIE DIFFERENCES.
Meeting or the Executive Committee of the Association for the Ere ctiOn of the Monument at Canton-Conference to
 be Held With the Association for the Building of n Memorial at Washing
tom Former to Remit Surplus.


 Cleveland, Nov 21.-The executive committee Of the Mckinley National Monument association, after lengthy session to-day at the office of Senator Hanna, issHed the following statement:
 'At a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Mckinley National Mem orial association held in Cleveland to- day the secretary, Ryerson Ritchie, submitted reports, many states of the Union showing gratifying progress and that the appeal to the people to provide funds for a memorial at Canton is meeting with very general and hearty response. A plan for future work was outlined and the same will be pushed vigorously to completion. Reports re- ceived indicate that auxiliary organiza- tions have already been perfected in nearly all states of the Union
 The expression of sentiment from every quarter of the country indicates that the people desire to make the erec- tion of a monument at the home of President Mckinley their first duty, as it is well known that he often expressed to his family and friends his desire to be buried at Canton, where already re- pose the remains of his children and where his beloved wife will rest when she has departed this life.
 "In deference to this sentiment, as well as the propriety of the occasion, as evidenced in the monuments provided for the lamented Lincoln and Garfield, it will be the purpose of the association to carry forward the work of providing for such a memorial at his home. Should more funds be subscribed than are necessary for the purpose of erect ing a memorial compatible with tn. dignity and simplicity of the late presi- dents life and character, the surplus will be devoted to a national memorial at Washington.
 "A letter from Secretary Gage, treas urer of the Washington Arch associa- tion, to Senator Hanna was laid before the committee but the questions in- volved in the communication were re- ferred to the board of trustees at their meeting to be held at Washington De- cember ', when it is hoped that any possible differences may be adjusted. It was the sentiment of the members of the committee present that provision for suitable memorial at Canton was the first duty to be performed.
 This purpose is believed to be in &C., cordance with the wishes of the family and near personal friends of the presi- dent. A reply to Secretary Gages let ter embodying the above sentiment was to him."
 Those in attendance at the meeting were Hon. William R. Day, Senator M. A. Hanna, Colonel Myron T. Herrick, General H. M. Duffield, William McCon- way and Ryerson Ritchie.

THE MONTTILLE MURDER.
No Trace of the Man Who Killed
 Farmer Shumway.

Norwich Nov. 21.-Sheriff G. o. Jack son stated tonight that he had ab- solutely no clue to the whereabouts of Fred Merrill" the tramp who mur- dered and robbed Jeremiah Shumway, the aged hermit, at his home In Mont vile last evening Several reports were sent the sheriff to-day of suspicious strangers having been seen in neigh boring towns, which it was thought might have been the much wanted man, but all of them, when investigated, proved to be mere rumors.
 There was a belief that Merrill might have been hit by bullet from one of the rifles fired at him by party of neighbors, but careful examination of the woods through which he ran failed to reveal any traces of blood, and it is considered doubtful if he was wounded.
 Shumway was a native of Webster, Mass, and has a sister living there now The body will probably be taken there for burial It Is positively known that he had a considerable amount of money on his person Wednesday and it is believed that Merrill knew of it and made up his mind to secure it at any risk.

SITUATIONIN COLOMBIA.
Little News Save Two Measuring Des-
 patches from U. s. Officers.

Washington. Nov. 21.-Save for the two reassuring dispatches from Consul General Gudger at Panama and Cap tain Perry, of the battleship Iowa, ly- ing off that port, neither the state nor the navy departments received any ad- vices to-day concerning the situation on the isthmus.
 Great interest is felt in official circles here as to the outcome of the Chorrea expedition, for it is realized that the result of the engagement at that point will be decisive in giving either the con- servative or the liberal element control of the isthmus.
 Secretary Long has not sent any ad ditional instructions to the commanders of the Iowa and the Machias, believing that too many directions ofttimes ham per instead of facilitate in such a situa- tion as now exists on the isthmus. He prefers to trust to the officers own judgment in suiting their actions to the prime purpose of keeping traffic free and American interests fully protected
 In a few days the gunboat Concord will have reached Panama to relieve the Iowa, and the Marietta, on the At lantic side. will be at Colon to take the place of the Machiaa. However, if the present Mutation continues, all four of these vessels will be held on the isth- mus pending further developments.

GERMAN COMMENT.
Seer etary Hays Speech Warmly Re
 ceived ny Berlin Papers.


 Berlin, Nov. 21.-The evening papers print long summaries of Secretary Hays speech at the banquet of the New York Chamber of Commerce last Tues day night.
 The Berliner Neueste Nachrichten says: This utterance of the Ameri- can statesman, in all its parts, deserves the applause of those nation which, in similar spirit, seek satisfaction for their need of expansion ill peaceful competition in the worlds markets. All serious political and business circles in Germany are convinced that East Asia particularly offers room, for many years to come, for all trading nations. As for the political relations between Germany and the United States, Sec the traditions of Prusso- German states manship, since the American revolu- tion, to keep the mutual relations of the two countries upon a footing of sin cere friendship. It is to be hoped that the speech will have the effect in the United States of removing whatever grounds still remain for anti German sentiments which are fostered in Lon don.''
 The Berliner Tageblatt points out that the Monroe doctrine was less sharply emphasized by Secretary Hay than it has been by Senator Lodge, and it regards the speakers references to reciprocity treaties as being all in the spirit of protection to do- mestic industry, and as oracular.

THE SI7Ud7ION LOC1LLY.
Freight Traffic Completely Tied Up Yes-
 terday and Last Night.

New Haven all days yesterday and last night was as isolated from the out side world so far as freight traffic was concerned as though the city was not the railroad center which 1t is. This was all due to the strike of switchmen, freight handlers and brakemen who left work early yesterday morning on q strike in sympathy with the striking trainmen and switchmen at Harlem River yards. Although the Harlem River matter is still the most important matter at issue yet there are other al- legged grievances which have been smoldering for some time and of which the strikers will probably demand ad- 1ustment before the present strike is settled.
 A meeting of the railroad employees was held last night in the old Union ar nory in the Masonic Temple,i corner of Chapel and Union streets. About 200 were present, all railroad employees be- inr invited and after the meeting had been called to order those not employees of the Consolidated road were request cd to leave A large proportion of those present were not union men and at the close of the meeting it was said that

 Settlement

Sofia, Nov 21.-Mr. Dickinson, the diplomatic agent here of the United States, will leave on Friday or Saturday of this week for Constantinople. There is obviously no prospect of settlement with Miss Stone's abductors The de- parture of MT.

 According to dispatches from the As- sociated Press dated November 20 and 21. MT Dickinson sent an ultimatum to the brigands. giving them six days within which to accept G12000 as the ransom of Miss Stone. If this amount is not accepted With the time mention ed MT.

RELIGIOUS RIOTS IN ATHENS.
Seven Persons Killed and Thirty se.
 vcreiy Wounded.

Athens, Nov. 21.-The agitation against the proposal to translate the gospels into modern Greek was contin- ued to-day. Twenty thousand persons assembled around the ruins of the Tenn pie of Jupiter Olympus and took part in a demonstrate tion organized by the stu dents. A resolution was adopted call ing upon the Holy Synod to ex-com- municate any persons who translated the gospels into Greek as now spoken. Eight hundred marines were landed and co-operated with the troops in patrol ling the locality. Several collisions oc- cured and occasional shots were fired The students still hold the university buildings. During the demonstrations following the assemblage several shots were fired at M Thetokodis, the Greek premier, but without effect.
 A political motive, connected with the Slav propaganda In Greece, underlies this religious movement. The univer- sity was guarded during the night by the students who feared the building would be occupied by the civil author ities. During the encounters between the military and the turbulent demon strators, seven persons were killed, thir- ty were severely and many others were slightly wounded.
 Great excitement prevails tonight. Strong military detachments guard the palace and the residence of the premier. Everywhere anxious groups are dis cussing the situation. Heart rending scenes occurred when the bodies of the dead were handed over to their rela- tives. It is rumored that armed men have arrived at the university, but the building is still guarded by the stu dents, who are adopting military disci- pline. Opposition deputies paraded the streets during the day, exciting the riot CTS by violent language.
 There were no further disturbances during the evening. but 1t Is feared that there will be a renewal of disorder to- morrow. Among those slightly injured are the prefect of police of Athens and the prefect of Attica

DEMOCRATIC TOTE ILLEGAL.
Waterbury Republicans Can Contest
 Result of City Election.

Waterbury, Conn.,, Nov. 21.-Promi- nent democrats here concede that the entire democratic vote in the Third ward at the last city election was ille- gal and that recount would without much doubt result in the election of all the republican candidates from mayor to constable with the exception of town clerk and tax collector. The matter has been hushed up till now in the hopes that the time for appealing would ex- pire. It is not known yet whether Judge Cowell will contest Mayor Kill duff's seat The mistake is the most serious one made in the elections here in years.
