Acting under instructions from the ad-

Frank Wadleigh, agent of the bureau,
and General Eastern Passenger Agent
Nutting, of the Southern Pacific, have
had a consultation in New York with
representatives Of the three associations
which constitute what is known as the
steamship conference.
The subject under consideration was
the action of the Union Pacific in en-
ploying Peter Mcdonnell, of New York.

and the attitude that the steamship com
panles will take in view of their con-
tract with the Western Passenger asso-
citation for handling Immigrant business.
The situation has been made particularly
delicate by reason Of the steamship COM

1t is understood that nothing definite
was accomplished at the conference, the
steamship representatives not being in a.

recognition from the associated interests
engaged in immigrant traffic that he is
peIeVed to have desired for a long pc
rl0d, In consideration Of the manner in
which his connection at one time with
the Western Passenger association as its
accredited agent, was terminated Re
celvlng this, there is an impression that
he would construe it as a vindication and
might possibly then be disposed voIun-
IarlIy to withdraw from the field as an in

end whatever friction and disturbance
there has been in regard to the traffic
and simplify the settlement Of questions
the end of which at present n is diff

Continued From First Page.

There is an increase of 200 in the
Fourth; there is a gain of about $50
In the Sixth, owing to the warm alder
manic fight in that ward; there is an
increase of about 800 in the big Demo-
cratic Eighth, an increase of over 100
in the Ninth and the Eleventh comes
In with gain of nearly 800.
While there was some increase in the
First and Seventh, Republican strong
holds. there was no such increase as to
be distinctive, and there is nothing in
the figures from these wards to give
the Democratic leaders any fear of the
final result.
The splendid registration is largely
the result Of the good work of the
Democratic organization, the workers
In the wards doing their full duty, and
the result is most satisfactory to the
friends of the present administration.
They see in the big registration the
preliminary expression Of the people
who will accentuate their position on
May by giving Mayor Smith and his
associates on the Democratic ticket
an overwhelming majority as an in
dorsement of the Democratic admins
