Accuses opponent. of Thefts
and Robbery.

CHICAGO, May ia meeting over
which Jonn Alexander Dowie presided az
Zion City this afternoon was broken up
by a number Of followers Of the opposing
faction, assisted by several outsiders, and
before the crowd dispersed a free fight oc-
CURED.
Dowie was addressing the audience num-
berng about 500. and made the statement
that the overseers of the Voliva faction
we're thieves and robbers At once num-
ber of those In the audience were on their
feet shouting. NO. no; you are the rob-
ber why don't you pay your debts ?"
The disturbance became 40 violent that
Zion guard was sent to restore order. The
guard took hold Of an old gray.headed
man who was loudest in his demands for
Dowie to pay his obligations, and this
was q signal for free fight dozen
men seized the guard and were about to
drag him down the aisle, when Gladstone
Dowie and Deacon Arlington mounted the
platform and called upon the audience not
to create a disturbance and to take their
seats
After quiet had been restored, Dowie
again attempted to proceed with the meet
ing, but he was jeered and called traitor
and robber until he finally decided to dis
miss the audience.
A riot call was sent to the police station
and Captain of Police Walker with four
men hurried to the tabernacle in a wagon.
BY the time the police arrived most Of
the audience had left the building In the
midst Of the trouble Burleigh the negro
attendant OF Dowie, rushed upon the plat
form and placed himself at the "first apos-
ties" side while those OF the uniformed
NJ
Dowie formed a line Of defense in front
of the platform. No attempt at violence,
however. was made against Dowie
Dowie was weak that he had TO be
carried from his carriage into the taber-
nacle by two attendants, but II was an
nounced at Shiloh house tonight that he
had eaten hearty dinner and that he felt
no Ill effect from the excitement of the
afternoon.
At an afternoon meeting called for Dowie
adherents only. but which was invaded by
a large number of those who were riotous
at the former meeting. Dowie precipitated
a second general disturbance. He caused
to be read a letter from one OF his sup
porters stating that the writer's wife had
passed safely through the crisis of a serious
illness while Dowie prayed for her This
fact Dowie compared with the case OF Mrs.
M. e. Cantel, wife of an overseer. who
died last Friday without medical attention.
while Voliva and his supporters were offer
ing prayers for her recovery Dowie de-
clared he feared the woman would die be-
cause she associated herself with the rebels.
Immediately there was storm of Kisses
and shouts of shame, shame"
There is a death in store for many more
of you II this rebellion keeps on" continued
Dowie Again the people sprang from their
chairs shouting and gesticuIating until the
tumult became so general that Dowie was
again obliged to bring the meeting to a
close.

BALDWIN ON THE RATE BILL
Union Paciac Solicitor says some Pro-
visions Hit the Railroad with
Considerable Force.

This slow moving reluctant to act sen
ate has added many important provisions
to the rate bill which we're contemplated
in the house, but not embodied in the bill
by that body" said John n. Baldwin, gen
eral solicitor for the Union Pacific yester-
day upon his return from Washington and
other eastern points. Mr.. Baldwin was in
Washington a considerable portion Of the
time he was away, but poor health com
PEELED him to seek rest along the coast
for sometime.
The debate on the rate matters was in
teresting all the way through and was
watched with interest by all sections OF the
country, the east more than the west, for
the eastern papers had fuller reports than
were sent by the Associated Press. The
bill In itself was the result of the united
work OF many and would have been pre-
sented by Mr.. Allison, but he was Ill and
not able
IT believe the bill as adopted with Its
amendments is going to give satisfaction
to all concerned. The main features were
kept intact as It came from the house and
to these were added the amendments which
the best legal minds of the senate thought
necessary to preserve it's constitutionality.
Many important amendments were added
by the senate, some of which hit the rail-
roads pretty hard An amendment was
added which gave the Interstate Commerce
Commission Jurisdiction over the pipe lines
Of the country. Another prohibits common
carriers from engaging in other business.
such as coal and OIL An antipass amend
ment was passed which was pretty strong
and will work quite a change In the dis
tributlng of free transportation.
Sleeping cars and private car lines were
put absolutely under the jurisdiction Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. This
has been a mooted question before.
