Sharp Criticism of w. III. Truesdale in
A Decision by Judge Wallace in the
United States Circuit Court Of APP


New York, May 23.-Sharp criticism
of W. H Truesdale, president of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad for breaking a contract to
carry milk on that road was contained
in a decision of the United States cir
cult court of appeals whichc was
handed down today. Damages amount
ing to s137, 1888 was awarded to Robert
E. Wescott, an executor of the estate
of John H Paul, who had a contract
under which he bought great quanti-
ties of milk from farmers and shipped
it over the Lackawanna.
Judge Wallace in his decision said
that President Truesdale's reputation
of the contract was inspired by sordid
motives, and committed with an ar
rogance of a scorn of the consequence"
that the appropriation of Westcott' S
percentages of the money which the de-
fendant had collected for him was
morally no better tNan larceny and
that conduct like Truesdale's, by
those who manage the affairs OF great
corporations has aroused the spirit or
resentment in the public mind which Is
so intense today and which is not un-
likely to result in litigation and IN mu-
nicipal interference which will bring
serious loss TO stockholders.

THE IMMIGRATION BILL PASSES
Series of Amendments to Existing
Law Adopted in Senate
Long Discussion on the Provision for
supplying Immigrants With Infor-
nation Concerning the Various Sec
tions of the Country-A Division of
Information Created. the Expenses
Being Limited to $4,000.

Washington, May 23.-In addition to
passing half dozen bills TO which no
objection was made the senate devoted
its entire session today to the immigra-
tlon Dill, which was passed just before
the hour Of adjournment The major
portion of the discussion was devoted
to the provision for supplying informa-
ton concerning the different sections
OF the country to nelly arrived immi-
grants.
The bill consists of a series of
amendments to the existing law. all of
them intended to permit stricter regu-
lations for keeping out the defective
classes Of aliens. The head tax is in
creased from 81 to SIS.
The question of sectionalism cropped
out during discussion on the amend
ment authorizing the creation of a bu-
| reau OF information for the benefit of
immigrants. On this point Senator
McCreary said that especial effort
should be made to secure a better dis
tribution of immigrants than is obtain
able under the present system. Now.
he said, most of the new comers locate
| IN the eastern states and large cities.
where they are not needed, whereas the
south, where immigration is desired, is
almost entirely overlooked In sup
| port of his contention he said that
285, 900 located in New York last year
and only 600 sought homes in Ken
| lucky. He also called attention to the
fact that the south is not reDresented
! in the immigration service, and criti-
cised the arrangements as sectional.
Senator Spooner defended the present
immigration service against the charge
| of sectionalism, and said the commits
| slOner OF immigration was in no sense
an agent for the states.
| Senator Bacon said the provision
permitting state representation at the
stations should be SO extended as to
permit immigration societies to be
represented, his object being to afford
railroads an opportunity to present
the advantages of the country penetrat-
ed by them
After further debate an amendment
| offered by Mr. Galliger fas modified
and adopted. AS agreed to it author
| ICES the creation of a division of infor-
| nation, limits the expenses to $40, 900
and authorizes states and territories
! and corporations interested in immi-
| grafton agencies at the immigration
stations.
| A suggestion by Senator McCreary
authorizing the appointment of COM
missioner of immigration at New Or
leans was agreed to.

CALDWELL HERESY CHARGES
Arguments In the Case Are Long
Drawn Out and the Trial Will Last
Longer Than Was Anticipated.

GreenvilIe, S. c., May 23-Practical-
ly the entire day of the general as
sembly of the Southern Presbyterian
church was given today TO the con-
sideration of the charges Of heresy
against DR. William E. Caldwell. Of
Fort Worth. Texas. The arguments,
which it has been supposed were clos
ed, with the morning session, were re-
newed in the afternoon, seventeen
speakers each being allotted 10 minutes,
discussing the case. Eight spoke TO
sustain the position of DR.. Caldwell
against the syno,' of Texas; eight ia
vored the action taken by the synod,
and one wished to refer the matter
back to the prebytery of Fort Worth,
for il to ascertain and pronounce upon
the orthodoxy of DR.. CaldwelPs views
and to suspend him from the ministry
and from membership in the presbyte-
ry until his views shall be classified
according to church standards.
The case will be further discussed
tomorrow and promises TO be longer
drawn out than the anucipatedtiaolao
drawn out than was anticipated. II
is not regarded likely that the assem-
byl will reach the end Of its labors
next week, and the session probably
will continue for nearly, or quite TWO
weeks to come
meeting in the interests Of homie
missions was held tonight.

SAN FRANCISCO BANKS OPEN
kever in Cir's History was There
So Much Money on Hand
THERE WAS NO SIGN OF PANIC
For Days Money Has Been Pouring
Into the City and the Total Several
Days Ago was More Than $4,000.
0O0-Au the Banks Paid Depositors
in Full and Many of Them Carried
On An Almost Normal Business.

San Francisco, May 23-Practically
every bank in this city that has 5:ea
able TO secure temporary quarters
threw open its doors 10 the public TO-
day. There was no sign OF a run.
Never in the history of San Francis
CO was there SO much bank money On
hand. For the past week money has
been pouring into the local financial
institutions from all parts of the
world, The total to date has not been
computed, but several days ago ii ex-
ceeded s30,0OO,O0O.
When the savings bank opened this
morning they by no means had to de-
pend upon money received from out
side sources. Institutions like the Hi
bernian, the Humboldt and the Mutual
lad millions in coin and valuable Sc
curties in their vaults which were un-
disturbed by the fire. The Hbernia, it
was reported, had 1000, 900 in United
States bonds, and $4,000, 900 in other
gilt-edged securities, together with
millions in coin. Among it's deposi-
tors are many wOrkingmen and women
Most of them lost their all in the dre,
and at an early hour they began 70
line UP before the banks doors.
By 9 o'clock the lines were over a
block long, and the police were sum-
moned to maintain order. Their du-
ties, however, consisted of little more
than keeping the patient men and We
men in line. The bank paid without
limit to ALL
The Mutual opened in it's own build :
ing, which had been badly damaged.
The bank officials said they had over
81, 200, 900 on hand, and they met all
demands promptly and without limit.
At the Union Safe Deposit and Trust
Company's bank, both commercial
and savings, everything prOceeied
with a degree of order and quiet, re-
mote from even a suggestion of panic.
The Humboldt Bank, in its tempo
rary quarters, carried on an almost
normal business.
The fact that all Of the banks did
not reopen was due to a dearth Of
quarters. Now that normal conditions
have been about restored the clearing
house bank in the mint has been prac-
tIcally closed.
Washington, May 23.-A telegram

old b-treasury had been opened and

Demand for Yeas and Nays by Mr..
Williams Refused by Speaker
Anglers THE MINORITY LEADER.
Mr.. Williams Thundered Out q Protest
Against the Ruling of the Speaker,
Insisting That the Demand Was
Within His Parliamentary Rights
The Speaker Remained Firm In His
Decision and the House Went Into
Committee of the Whole.

Washington, May 23.-When the
house met at noon today an unusual
scene occurred Immediately after the
approval Of the journal. Mr.. Williams,
the minority leader, demanded the yeas
and nays on the motion of Mr. Adams,
of Pennsylvania, to go into committee
Of the whole for the further consider
alton of the diplomatic and consular
bill. This demand was refused, the
speaker holding that one fifth of the
members present had not risen to de-
mand the yeas and nays.
Il demand that the other side be
TAKEN" called Mr.. Williams, becoming
considerably agitated.
The speaker up to this time had been
calm and unruff1ed. He refused to
take the negative of rising vote, stat
ing that but a sort time before it had
been demonstrated that quorum of
the house was present, 1875 in all.
Then Mr. Williams became angry
and thundered protest against
the ruling of the speaker, insisting that
the demand was within MS parliament
airy rights, right recognized by the
rules of the house.
Excitement followed the remark Of
Mr. Williams. and the speaker nettled
at the manner Of the floor leader Of the
minority decisively replied that the
rules were silent on the point, and that
he was wholly within the constitution
when he refused to take the other side
when an insufficient number rose to de-
mand the yeas and nays.
The speaker pounded the desk while
Mr. Williams continued to speak, his
words being drowned by the noise of
the gavel and the excitement On the
floor.
Leaving. Mr.. Williams standing, the
speaker descended from the desk and

PLEA FOR HIGHER SALARIES.
Representative Longworth Speaks on
the Diplomatic and Consular Bill
Wants the Government to Purchase
Its Own Buildings in Foreign Coun-
tries.

Washington, May 23.-The days pro-
a speech by Mr.. Longworth, of Ohio,
who talked on the merits of the diplo-
matte and consulad bill itself, a fact
to which he called attention as being
something unusual as general debate"
meant anything else but debate on the
bill.
Mr.. Longworth, who showed large
familiarity with his subject, contrasted
the salaries paid our ambassadors and
ministers and those paid by foreign
governments. He said our system was
to compensate our ENJOYS by paying
them directly, while foreign govern
ments paid both directly and Indirect
ly. The American ambassador to
Paris receives SIT, 500; the British am
bassador to Paris receives $45,000, an
official residence, an appropriation for
the establishment, $4,000 for official en-
tertaining and at the close Of twenty
years he is pensioned at $4,000 per
year for life.
He made a strong plea for the pur-
chase of buildings by the American
government in foreign countries and
said:
Then the man Of moderate means,
the man who most truly represents the
bone and sinew of this republic would
not be placed at disadvantage as
compared with another man who had
more money. No longer then would
a condition exist under which these Of
fees of the highest responsibility and
dignity could be given only to rich
men, and no longer would there be
single Office in the gift of the American
people which would not be within the
reach of any American citizen
