ssf]~ 1OCK of ages, cleft for me-
 UE Thoughtlessly the maiden Fell the words unconscious From her girlisb, gleeful tongue; Sang as little children sing;
 Sang as sing the birds in June; Fell the words like light leaves
 down
 On the current of the tune,- "Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee." s'Let me hide myself in thee."- Felt her soul no need to hide,- Sweet the song as song could be, And she had no thought beside; All the words unheedingly
 Fell from lips untouched by care, Dreaming not that they might be On some other lips prayer,- sRock of ages. cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee." ''Rock of ages, cleft for me-
 Twas a woman sung them now, PIeadingIy and prayerfully;
 Every word her heart did know. Rose the song as storm-tossed bird Beats with weary wing the air, Every note with sorrow stirrede
 Every syllable prayer,- ssRock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee

IT &c nearly one month since the conductors ana
+raiproen asked the board Of directors to meet a
Joint committee of their departments to consider
a new schedule. President Hall refused TO receive
this committee. and a meeting OF the board OF di-
rectors was called. which resulted in denial OF
the rights of the men to send committee to the
directors Then came the vote IN favor Of a
strike and another meeting OF the board. This
last meeting resulted in halting the men for
time Then the president submitted proposition
that fl WAS the opinion of the officials OF the road
that the schedules OF all the employees should be

listened TO them have treated them right, and
you can't make me believe that the old boys are
going TO be led like sheep into trouble. There are
no railroad officials in the country that are more
willing to confer with their men than the New

are as much part or the road as the board Of
directors itself and they always have been and
always will be considered.

CUBANS TALK ON TREATY.
Senate Refers 1t to Committee

1Ioyono March 24-The message OF President
Palma regarding the amended reciprocity treaty
WAS read in the Senate to-day. The PRESIDENT con-
siders that the amendments made by the Onlteu
States Senate should be adopted and referred the
matter TO the consideration of the Cuban Senate
He explained that the exchange of rathcations
must be made in Washington before March 81 or
the treaty will lapse. He sent with the message
a certified copy OF the kilograms exchanged oy tne
Secretary OF State, Sehor Zaldo. and the CUBAN
Minister at Washington. Sehor Quesada' and also
the amendments.
There were twenty Senators present at To-Day
session Senior Zayas first moved that the treaty
he discussed at once. Sehor Dolz moved that II De
referred to tho Committee on Foreign Relations
and a discussion ensued. Senior Aayas "lthure"
his motion senor SanguiIy then asked why 1t was
that the Tinted States Senate could amend the
treatv and not the Cuban Serate, in spite OF the
fact that the Cuban constitution was modelled on
the American constitution. He reminded Senior
Rustamente. chairman of the Senate s ForelSh ne
Iations Committee of his arguments IN the previous
session that the Cuban Senate could not amend tne
treaty He appealed to Cuban inteiilRence' WHICH,
he said must be meagre not to see that this fact
hurt his feelings n Cuban. Senor Bustamehte
argued that the treaty new convention In
,irf1a oF the amendments. The Cuban Senate could
have amended 1t if It had chosen TO do so, nut such
action would have made a new treaty. He arguel

PRIESTS CAUSE FAILS.
French Deputies Refuse to Authorise
RELIGIOUS Orders.

Paris, March 24.-The Chamber Of Deputies
by a vote of 3O4 to 246 tonight rejected all the
applications for authorization made by the re-
lsious preaching orders. The entire session to-
day was devoted to discussion of the govern
nent's bill which opposed the application for
authorization, and the Chamber, by vote re-
fusng to pass to the discussion Of the clauses
Of the BILL thereby declined to consider the ap-
piications separately for authorization to re-
main in France. but rejected them all by g.
single vote. Among the orders which are thus
expelled from France is the English Passionist
Order which conducts a church on the Avenue
Hoche for English and American Roman Catho-
lies. and in whose behalf the British and United
States ambassadors recently interested them
selves.
The Premier, NJ. Combes. briefly summed up
the governments case. He urged that there
was no place In modern society for the religious
CONGREGATIONS. The country had a regular
clergy. to whom the Concordat reserved the
work of preaching and the exercise of public
worship The tendency Of the religious orders
was to substitute themselves for the regular
clergy. The monks had conducted campaign
against the conquest OF the republic and
against all republican progress. Their aim
seemed to be to stimulate a hatred of repubH-
can laws and to make appeals for reactionary

NEW CONTROL OF N. Y. CENTRAL
VANDERBTLTS VOLUNTARLLY SURRENDER 1T TO
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES r. r. COMBINATION
Their Holdings but To Be Relieved of Management 0"d
Operoton-W. K. Vanderblts Wish.

rnunItv of interest idea, the New-York Central
and the Pennsylvania have come into close con-
tact and many other Eastern roads have been
brought under the influence of these two great
systems. M. Vanderbilt has been one OF the
leading spirits and hardest workers IN this
combination, and has acted in hearty accord
with the others 1t may be stated. however, that
recently he has desired to be relieved from these
great responsibilities. There is no member Of
the family at this time ready to take his place,
and Mr. Vanderbilt is glad to get rid of the
exacting duties.
In giving up control 1t is announced. there Is
no surrender of interests in the properties. The
Vanderbilt family will retain large holdings and
have voice in the management. although the
responsibility will be shifted.
There have been reports that there will be a
merger of the New-York Central and the Penn
sylvania. and that the New-Haven will eventu-
ally be taken into the combination. This is de-
clared to be premature. if not untrue The two
properties can be best operated separately at
present. A merger may come later. but it is
said that it is unlikely in the near future.
The present operative head of the New-York
Central and it's allied lines is W. H. Newman,
president of the New-York Central and the Lake
Shore, and also Of the tributary lines. Mr.. New
man is one of the abIest railway operators in
this country. He was schooed under James j.
Hll and step by step, by sheer merit, he went
up In the Vanderbilt system until he became the
head Of that great organization. He is a rich
man and has wanted to retire from active work
for long time, but the demand for his service
has been so pressing that he has put everything
else aside and stood at his post His retirement
from the New-York Central system has been
suggested, but the interests now in control Of
the combination are urging Mr.. Newman to
stay. and his immediate retirement is not re-
garded as probable
1t said last night that no startling
changes would be made now and that none are
planned for the Immediate future. 1t is possible
that at the next annual meeting some changes
may be made in the directory. Mr.. Morgan is
in the board is William Rockefeller. 1t
is likely that at the next meeting the Pennsyl-
vania may secure representation. All that is
certain is that the burden Of control is shifted 10
other hands and that the so-Called Rockefeller
Morgan-Pennsylvania combination will in the
future operate the New-York Central system,
acting in accord with the Vanderbilt family, but
relieving the Vanderbilts Of the oneerous duties
and the exactng details of management

Control Of the New-York Central and direction
of its operation, so long vested in the Vanderolt
family, have passed into new hands according
to information received yesterday from trust
worthy sources. Control has not been wrested
from the Vanderbilts. There has been no fr1c-
tion and the change that has been or is being
brought about is along lines approved by Will
lam K Vanderbilt head of the Vanderbilt family
and. since the death OF his brother, Cornelius'
the dominant factor. in the system.
The new control is vested in the combination
known as the Rockefeller -Pennsylvania-M Morgan
interests For a long time the New-York Cen
traI has been operated in harmony with the
Pennsylvania. In fact, the Vanderbilts are the
largest individual owners of pennsylvania
stock The lease of the Boston and Albany
road was not concluded until A. ]. Cassatt anu
the ruling forces in the Pennsylvania approved
The lease of the Long Island road by the Fehl-
sylvania was not made until the Newly DIX Cen
trail had had a chance to become hali partner
in the enterprise. That the Central oeeliiieu ~

Central and the Pennsylvania Jointly bought

bnation and it has been reported that the
roads partition between the Central ana the
PENNSYLVANIA would be effected, each taxing the
divisions most closely allied with the otheF'
That division of the property was not thougnt

Vanderbilts have never owned the majority OF
stock in the New-York Central. but they DO
