WABASH TROUBLE.
Every Indication stiii Points to Final
 Adjustment.

Adjnstment.
 St. Louis, April 3.-The controversy over an agreement upon wages between officials of the Wabash Railway com pany, and it's employees, is still unsettled. but every indication points to a final adjustment, either tomorrow or early next week. Both sides are making able understanding and avert a strike A long conference was held to-day be- tween representatives of both sides and 1t is stated that only minor details yet remain to be disposed of. The confer ence was held at the Wabash general headquarters and those present were Colonel w. H. Blodgett, chief counsel for the Wabash; H. W. Ashley, acting head In President Ramsey's absence; F. N. Judson, counsel for the two railroad brotherhoods and the Wabash employees; John J. Hannahan, grand master of the firemen; W. G. Lee, vice grand master of the trainmen, and a committee repre- senting the employees of the Wabash di- visions. This conference was necessary because of the technical points at issue WHlcn were not IanlllaF to the attor- neys (Blodgett and Judson), who will arrange the final settlement.
 There is no particular activity mani- fested by either side so confident does each seem of an ultimate amicable agreement. Colonel Blodgett stated this evening that while he was unable to say exictly when the controversy will be ended, the termination apparently is very close at hand.

A REMARKABLE SPEECH.
Comment of London Papers on NIT.
 wyudham's Words.

London, April 4.-The Liberal papers this morning commenting on MT. Wyndhm's remarkable speech declare that it might have been the speech of a Gladstonian, so friendly were it's &C., cents toward Ireland and the wisdom of trusting the Irish people and conciliat- ing the Irish sentiment in the United States and Canada. The Daily News remarks the signifi- cant silence of Colonial Secfetary Chamberlain on the Irish problem and the fact that the government appears to be threatened with the alternative of defeat or dependence on the Irish vote. Michael Davitt contributes to the Daily News a long article in which he discusses these points. He shows that the Irish land bill embodies to certain extent the policy which Mir. Chamberlain advocated in 1888 though it contains larger financial pro- posal than Chamberlain then pro- posed.
 Mir. Davitt thinks some measure of self government for Ireland will follow the adoption of the Irish land bill.
 MT. Redmond speaking at London last night said King Edward was as- sured of a courteous welcome in Ire land, because Irishmen always recog- nized the responsibility of protest against the monarch.

4 FLUTE CONCERTO.
To be Heard for First Time Here at
 DUrscht Concert

A fine and unique feature of the pro- gramme at the combined concert of the Dorscht orchestra and Second regiment band at the Hyperion tomorrow night will be Furstenan's Concertino, which will be rendered by Frederick G. Guil- ford on the flute. Of the different com- posers of music for the flute Furstenan may be considered as among the best, his style being of the most brilliant character and his compositions abound ing with technical difficulties of the oc- tave and, the chromattique. There are very few concertos written for the flute, as this form of composition Is given mostly to piano and violin. The con- certo which MT. Guilford has chosen is a most brilliant composition. It shows the capabilities of the flute and gives the performer plenty of opportunity to display his technique and temperament. This is the first time flute concerto has been played here, and treat is in store for those who hear it.

FIVE MEN LOST IN SOUND.
CAPTAIN AND tREW OF BARGE v
 tx FITZPATRICK LOST.
craft'Foun dored or shiunecook White fiji Tow of Tug-A Lond Explosion on the Lost Barge-it is Believed Her Boiler Blew Up Rosulting in Her Sinking.

New London, April 3.-The barge J. c. Fitzpatrick, in tow of the tug Sweep stakes, bound from Philadelphia for New Bedford, fqundered off Shinnecock, Long Island, Thursda night, drowning her captain and crew of four men. ~
 The Sweepstakes, with another barge, arrived in the harbor this afternoon, and later, when the tug tied up at Fer guson's old pier Captain J. W. Morse made a report of the disaster to the owners, the Boutelle Transportation company, of Cleveland.
 In an interview Captain Morse said: "All that know of the accident is that while proceeding before the northwest gale, with early prospects of making port, we heard a loud explosion on the Fitzpatrick, and we believe that her boiler blew up. There was considerable smoke around the craft, and before we could turn around and go to her assist ance she had sunk with her entire crew."
 The captain of the first barge could give no additional particulars and Cap tain Morse's idea seems to be correct. All the big bargeS carry large boiler and engine, which are used for pump ing and hoisting purposes.
 The captain of the Fitzpatrick was George Davis. He was recently shipped at Philadelphia, and Captain Morse of the tug, does not know much about him.
 One of the crew of the Fitzpatrick, who is undoubtedly lost, is John Nel- son, of this city, best known among his associates as Big" Nelson. He was shipped here at Crowley's agency two weeks ago, when the tug and tow were here, bound south. Nelson had a step son here named Wright. He had no other family as far as can be learned He was formerly employed on one of the Thames Towboat company's barges. The lost barge came from the Great Lakes. She carried 2,40O tons of bitum- inous coal.

Poe WINS n PrOphet.

The metal helium's discovery proves
Edgar Allan Poe to have been q
prophet. The application of sulphuriC
acid to the mineral cleveite causes he
llum to form, and helium is lighter
than hydrogen.
Poe, in his story of Hans Pfaal,
describes just such a metal as helium
Pfaal, it will be remembered, is max
ing Il new kind of balloon secretly
This is the passage wherein the proph
ecy Of helium's discovery appears:
IL then took opportunities of convey
ing by night to retired situation east
of Rotterdam five iron bound casks, to
contain about fifty gallons each, and
one of the larger size; six tubes, three
inches in diameter, properly shaped
and ten feet in length; quantity of 4
particular metallic substance, which
shall not name, and a dozen demijohns
of very common acid. The gas to
be formed from these latter materials
is a gas never yet generated by any
other person than myself. / can only
venture to say that this is a consutu-
ent of azote, so long considered IRE
ducible, and that its density is about
37.4 times less than that Of hydrogen

San Francisco has real Chinese
choir. 1t is a church choir, complete
in all its parts. and composed Of young
Chinese vocalists, who are accom-
panied on the organ by Chinese or
ganist. 1t sings to a purely Chinese
congregation composed of men, women
and children.
1t was in 1886 that a Chinese branch
of the Presbyterian church was formed
in San Francisco 1t was found eX-
tremely hard to bring the men and
women together for worship. There
was a religious and social chasm that
the men shrunk from crossing. But
concessions were made, and the women
were allowed to worship behind
screens and curtains. Prejudices were
lost as time wore on and in 1870
curtains and screens begun to be low
cred and finally to disappear. But the
men kept to one side of the church
and the women to the other. But the
choir marks one Of the most positive
advances, for in 1t young men and
young women stand side By side and
their voices blend sweetly, rhythmic
ally and devotlonally in hymns of
praise.-New York Tribune.

The Rev. Eric NJ. Farrar. St John
vicarage, HoXton, son OF the late dean
of Canterbury, says the London Elk
press. has collected the reasons given
to him by many wOrkingmen for non
attendance at church:
First.-Bccause Of their love of home
Sunday being the only day when many
Of them see their children awake.
Second. Because they often have no
Sunday clothes. Mem.-l have often
considered the fashion of Sunday
clothes a device of the devil)
Third. Because there is so little wei
come extended to the stranger entering
church.
Fourth. because sermons so seldom
touch on the subjects men are most in
tercstcd in.
Fifth.-Because Sunday is the only
day for recreation and social inter
course.
Sixth Because they are leased if
they 60 by their comrades.
scvcnth.-Bncause they have to stay
at home to mind house and children if
the wife goes.
Eighth.-Because they had too much
OF it as children.
Ninth.-Bccause they love the things
temporal more than the things eternal.
