Philadelphia. May 90 - The United
States Court of Appeals decides the
case of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company against the Western Union
Telegraph in favor Of the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Company. The points in
vOlved, raised by the order of the
railroad company to the telegraph COM
pany, remove its poles and wires from
the formers right of way, are all de-
cided in favor of the railroad company,
and the decision is the elimination to a
struggle that has been as intense as it
has been lengthy.
In his opinion for the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals handed down
yesterday, terminating, unless appeal
should be made to the Supreme Court
OF the United States. the whole litiga-
tion in Pennsylvania and New Jersey
between the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and the Western Union Tele-
graph Company over the removal Of
the wires of the latter, Judge Dallas
affirmed the decision of Judge Buling-
ton, at Pittsburg, in favor of tne Penn
sylvania Railroad Company and re-
verses the decision of Judge Kirkpat-
rick at Trenton in favor Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company.
The Pennsylvania Railroad had a
contract with the Western Union Tel
egraph Company for twenty years.
which gave the latter company the
privilege Of using wires and poles on
the Pennsylvania lines and maintain
ing offices. etc. After twenty years it
was provided that on six months no.
tice the Western Union must vacate the |
Pennsylvania lines. Such notice was
given and terminated last December.

Cattle Loss In Montana $4,000 900 and
Three Herders Frozen to Death.

Cattle Loss In Montana S5,oo0,o00 and
Three Herders Frozen to Death.
Great Falls. Mont. May 2O.-The
heaviest cattle and sheep loss in the
history OF Montana, the damage Of
which will be $5.0OO.OOO, has been
caused by the terrible snow storm
which has been raging for the past
three days. In some sections Of the
state fully 80 per cent of the sheep
on the ranges have perished. Three
herders, at least have wandered away
in the binding storm and have been
frozen to death. An aged herder en-
ployed at Portage was lost Sunday.
Two more in the Shelby Junction
country. employed by the Floweree
Cattle Company, are missing, and
there is no hope that they can be
found alive.
Herders have abandoned their fiocks
on every hand and fed for safety to
the settlements and ranches. Nothing
like the fury of this storm has ever
before been witnessed in Northern
Montana.
A consignment of 900 cattle bound
for Havre was wiped out all but five
being frozen to death.

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-Work on nearly
every big building in the country in
course of construction is to be tied up
by a strike Of marble workers. The
National Association of Marble Dealers.
comprising thirty-five of the largest
firms in the United States. has thrown

that, commencing on Thursday, an

employed. Labor leaders do not be-

these conditions.
How extensively general strike
would affect the building industry may
be recognized by the fact that Chicago

contracts for marble work in buildings
In every section of the country, includ-
ing the postofflce building at San Fran

SECRETARY SHAW
MEETS A REBUFF
Denied Election as Del
egate to Methodist
Conference.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Sept 19-Secre-
tary Shaw has just been denied his cher
ished ambition to represent the Des
Moines District Conference at the Gem
eral Conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal church in Los Angeles, and thereby
hangs a tale. He was turned down at
having brought about a conflict that has
caused much ill-feeling.
The Secretary received but one vote
and the announcement of that vote was
greeted with a "horse laugh by the con-
ference. But, in justice to the Secretary,
it should be said that a telegram convey
ing his refusal to be candidate was in
the hands of L. NJ. Mann of Des Moines
and had been made known to the confer
ence.
Members of the conference generally
were aware that Secretary Shaw really
wished to go to Los Angeles; that he was
represented in this desire by ]. NJ Kit
tleman of Chicago and that the telegram
to Mann was brought out by a telegram
from Kettleman reporting that there was
formidable opposition to his candidacy
The opposition originated in the First
Church in Des Moines. When Secretary
Shaw removed to Washington he took a
letter from that church in the usual form.
This letter was unexpectedly returned at
the recent quarterly conference of the
First Church, the Secretary stating that
on second thought he preferred to retain
his membership and that of his family
in that church. Ainley, a lay delegate to
the Des Moines conference, jumped to his
feet and exclaimed:
That is nothing but a political trick OF
Shaw's to get himself elected delegate to
the general conference. and 1 to say
right now that 1 shall vote against him.
The matter was kept as quiet as pos
sible, but the opposition increased to such
an extent as to put Secretary Shaw's
election out OF the question.
Secretary Shaw has represented the Des
Moines Conference at the last two Cen
eral Conferences and achieved national
prominence as one of the most powerful
debaters on thA floor of the conference.

A DiSCTeditable Blunder.
No Excuse Can Be offered for Killing
the Philippine Tariff Bill.

The most discrcditablc incident IN
the Senate during the session Just
closed was the defeat of the Philip
pine tariff bill by Democratic filibus-
tering.
Every consideration of humanity
should have impclled Congress to pass
this bill. Governor Taft had urged
Its passage as absolutely essential to
save the island Industries from ruin.
President Roosevelt had pressed 1t
upon Congress in an urgent special
message. 1t was a bill which would
have given immediate relief to the
Philippines, without inJuring single
American interest.
When the establishment of a pro-
visional government for Porto Rico
was before Congress, the Democrats
professed to be shocked by the sug-
* gestion that for a time the Porto Ri
cans should pay ID per cent of the
regular tariff rates But here was a
bill which proposed TO fix the tariff
rates for the Philippines at only %
per cent of the Dingley rates, instead
of - per cent as at present. and Dem
ocratic Senators deliberately filibus-
tered it to death.
Where Is their consistency to prin-
eiple2 If, as they pretend, they are
in favor of a lower tariff, why not
give the benefit of it to the suffering
Filipinos2 Is it that they want first
to produce suffering among them In
order that later they may make pOliti-
cal capital ont of it?
II was a disgraeeful exhibition, and
the blame for 1t rests solely on the fl
clustering Democrats, led by Mr.. Pat
terson Of Colorado and Mr.. Carmack.
