Hot Springs, Ark. October 14-The as- sociation of Southern Railroad commis- sioners convened here this afternoon. In the absence of President C. c. McCord of Louisville. yice-P President N. W. Bap- tist of Tennessee was made chairman of the meeting John H. Webb of Missis- sippi discharged the duties of secretary.
 The roll call showed that the states of Arkansas. Alabama, Mississippi. Virgil mia and Texas were represented at the meeting.
 Chairman Baptist was presented to the convention and proceeded, in the absence Of President Afecord, to address 1t. He said state railroad commissions were new institutions in the country but had &C., complished great good and were of mate- rial benefit to both the railroads and the people
 John H. Reagan of Texas addressed the convention. He said the position of railroad commissioner was peculiar one. It stood between the people on the one hand and the railroad on the other, and the purpose was to prevent discrimina- ton on the part of the railroads against the people and at the same time protect the railroads against unjust legislation. In a word, to regulate the trafhcs be- tween the railroads and their patrons, the railroads, he said should be made to obey the law and respect the rights of the people. He thought they were the greatest instruments for the development of the prosperity of the country.
 J. McGinnis of Mississippi offered a res- olution, which was unanimously adopted, as follows.
 Resolved, That the president of this convention be requested to appoint com mittee of three to draft a resolution as to be the sense of this meeting touching the bills before the congress of the Unit ed States increasing the powers Of the interstate commerce commission.
 Messrs McGinnis of Mississippi, Smith of Alabama and Handley of Arkansas were appointed as such committee

ENGLISH WOMEN SCRAP"
Have Wild Confusion at Convention
 of Women's Federation.

London, October 14,--Internal strife growing out of the question of allegiance to Lord Roseberry or Sir Henry Samp- bell Zimmerman culminated in disorderly scenes and striking vituperation at a meeting yesterday of the Scottish wom- ems liberal federation composed of the wives of members of parliament and other notable persons. The members were specially gathered to receive the resignation of the president, Lady Helen Munro Ferguson. the late Lord Dufferins' daughter. She, it appeared, after the federation had passed a motion pledging confidence in the liberal leader in the house of commons Campbell-Banner- man, had sent out circulars of Lord Rose berry's Liberal league with the view, so 1t was alleged, of turning the federation into an instrument of the former pre- mier In spite of resolutions to the con- trary, Lady Helen persisted in staying fin the chair while the discussion of her conduct was going on.
 Several charges and countercharges were made. Lady Helen persisting that she be allowed to continue.
 Then delegates stood up and shouted and wild confusion prevailed while the tellers for the vote on the presidents resignation were appointed. A ballot vote was taken and after the uproar had died down, 1t was found that Lady Helen's resignation had been accepted by 133 to 63 votes. The Countess of Aber- deen was then elected president.

DESERTED WIFE
 DURING THE WAR
WOMAN ASKS FOR A PENSION, WHEN IT IS DISCOVERED THAT HER HUSBAND IS LIVING AND WITH ANOTHER WOMAN.

Chicago, October 14-If Eugene l.. Bradford is perjurer now, as alleged, he has been a bigamist for twenty-seven years. and also is guilty of deserting, nearly forty years ago, the girl he is said to have married while serving as a soldier in the civil war.
 Bradford who is 57 years of age. and lives at Kingston, H., was arrested to- day on a charge of perjury. Twenty seven years ago he was married to Mag gie E. Welsh Two years ago a woman claiming to be Mrs. Ollie Bradford of Knoxville applied for pension as the widow of Eugene L. Bradford, formerly a private in the Elgin battery of the H. linois Light artillery. The woman said she was married to Bradford at Knoxville on January 26 1865, and that she lost track of her husband a month after wards
 As the pension bureau had a Eugene l.. Bradford on it's rolls the Knoxville wom- ans claims was rejected. To examiners of the pension office Bradford admitted having been in Knoxville with the Union army in 1865 but denied any acquain- tance with the woman who says she be- came his wife.
 After more than years investigation of the case the pension commissioner urged a vigorous prosecution, which re- suited last week in the federal grand jury indicting Bradford for testifying falsely in regard to- his wife's claim for a pension. No mention is made of the fact that he has been living with anoth- CT woman, whom he says is his first and only wife

BERLIN GETTING READY.
Government, However, Is Discouraslng
 Boer Reception Committee.

Berlin, October 14-General Botha has telegraphed to the reception committee that the Boer generals wIll arrive here Thursday, but as their presence fs neces- sary in England they must leave Berlin Saturday.
 The government is discouraging the Boer reception committee In various ways The police will not permit the proposed procession to pass through the Brandenburger gate, doubtless because 1t is near the British embassy. The bill posters who have the monopoly of the citys advertising on the pillars, have broken their contract and refuse to put up any more placards advertising the reception of the Boers. It IS intimated that the reason for this action Is that they received a secret hint from the po- lice to cease advertising the entertain ment The government seems deter mined to prevent the slightest demon stration that might be construed as of fensive to Great Britain.
