ASK DEMOCRATS TO HELP
Regulars Abandon Hope of Aid
From Insurgents.

Washington, D. c., May 1S.-
Abandoning all hope of reaching any
common understanding on the rail-
road bill with the insurgents, the
regular republican senators moved an
early adjournment of the senate today
to permit the democrats to get togeth-
er tonight to consider propositions
looking to the completion of the bill.
Previous to the adjournment, Senator
Aldrich made an effort to obtain an
agreement to take the final vote
next Wednesday, but there were sew
eral objections, and the request was
not pressed.
1t was the general understanding
that the democrats would be asked to
assist in expending the bill by permit
ting amendments to be laid on the
table, by refraining from speech
making and by other means, with the
understanding that in return the last
three sections of the bill, relating to
capitalization, would be withdrawn.
The Democratic Senators generally
have opposed infringement of the
rights of the states. Many of them
are anx oius to dispose of the bill, and
willing to resort to any proper means
to hasten its passage.

MADE MODERATOR
Southern Presbyterians Confer High
Honor on Tennesseean.

Lewisburg, W. Va, May 19-The
greatest honor in the gift of the
Southern Presbyterian Assembly was
conferred today upon DR.. J. W. Bach
man, OF Chattanooga, Tenn, when it
elected him moderator The first
days session of the assembly also was
marked by the election of DR.. Z. H.
Law, of Spartanburg, S. c., as stated
clerk.
The election OF Dr. Bachman was
the first contest Of the assembly, his
opponents being DR.. Russell Cecil of
Richmond, and DR.. Walter L. Lingle
of Atlanta, Ga.
Dr. E. W. McCorkle, of Kentucky,
led off with the nomination of DR.
Cecil referring to his learning in
church law and his long service in
Kentucky, Alabama and Virginia
He also suggested that the assembly
return to the "line" py choosing a
preacher as moderator.
To Rev. G. R. Hyde of Little Rock,
Ark, fell the honor of nominating
DR.. Bachman. He named his father
in-law. He said that DR.. Bachman
had labored long for the South, that
he had never added a straw to the
flames of sectional hatred and told
how the South had hono1ed him Mr..
Hyde recalled how DR.. Bachman had
been delegated by the South to bear
a message of sympathy to the widows
of Presidents Garfield and Mckinley,
upon their respective bereavements
and how the city of Chattanooga had
come to wish him joy upon his seven
tieth birthday anniversary two years
ago. He closed by urging that ''the
hand of age had the first claim on the
good.
Rev. Byron Clarke, of Salisbury,
N. c., named DR.. Lingle. He said
briefly that the assembly did not need
so much a soldier nor an aged man,
but moderator.
The roll call showed 1OS votes for
DR.. Bachman, SO for Dr. Cecil and 30
for DR.. Lingle. DR.. Bachman was in
stalled as moderator forthwith.
"We have both fought for the South
and for the flag Of Jesus Christ, -
said DR.. W. E. Boggs, Of Atlanta, Ga.
the retiring moderator, to DR.. Bach
man. You never deserted your col
ors. In great epidemic i'll your city
you completed the conquest there of
every heart that was worth knowing.
To one SO beloved by his people and
by his church it is great joy to turn
over this gavel.
For moment DR.. Bachman hesi-
tated, then he said: 81 have been
called to accept several honors, but
nothing has given me more pleasure
than to receive this gavel from you. %
Then these two great leaders in
church threw their arms around one
another in a tender embrace.

We showed him INTO every room, and
then, III his rough way, he said to me,
" es it is very nice; but nobody will
know, walking through here, whether
you belong to God or the devil.
Inasmuch as the father could not tell
from his s'walk and conversation
where the son belonged, the son went
out and bought some pictures, he says,
and hung them in the rooms. of course
he gave the old man a picture of where
he belonged the next Time he came,
and carefully preserved the negative
for future use.

Aldermen Meet.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Aldermen was held last
night. But little new business. came
before the body, the time was mostly
occupied with the hearing Of reports
which were given in these columns
when they first came before the other
branch, and in the transaction of rou-
tine affairs. Present were Messrs.
Lang, Kable, Stratton, FretweI and
Harman. The minutes Of the previous
meeting were read and approved. The
report of a special committee recon-
mending modification of the ordi-
nance forbidding the sidewalk display
which proved Objectionable to the
merchants, was adopted on motion OF
Mr.. Stratton in concurrence with
the action of the Common Council.
This gives to the merchants certain
privileges in the way OF an outside
display but does not grant to them the
free use of the sidewalks as before.
The action of both branches in grant
ing the petition of the merchants was
in face of protest from the Civic
Improvement League and in disregard
of the opinion of the City Attorney.
The report of the Auditing Com
mittee was read and adopted. The re-
port of the City Health Officer for the
month of April was read likewise the
report of the Police Justice. City
Clerk Argenbright reported having re-
ceived codification of the city ordi-
nances from attorneys Timberlake
and Nelson. On motion of Mr.. Har-
man the chair appointed committee
composed of Messrs. Harman and
Stratton to confer with members of
the other body and the City Attorney
in an examination of the new code.
An amendment to the present ordi-
nance which fixes the iicsnse tax on
circuses and similar exhibitions, which
was offered by Mr. Harman, was
adopted. The amendment provides
that such exhibitions shall be required
to pay license in accordance with
their size. A circus which requires
25 or more regulation railroad cars
to transport it's equipment and effects
will pay 800 for the first performance
and $25 for each additional one. This
arrangement applies on down the scale
to shows requiring more than five OF
less 10 railroad cars whose license
will be but $50 for the first perform
ance and $40 for those additional.
This provision will make visits of the
smaller circuses profitable whereas the
former rate was practically prohibitive
except for the largest of tented ex-
hibitions. A petition from citizens
for a sewer from Sherwood Avenue to
Lewis Greek was read, the petitioners
agreeing to subscribe 5000 as
their share of the cost Of the work.
In this connection a resolution
offered by Mr.. Harman, instructing
the Street Committee to go ahead with
the work, provided it would not
cost more than $500 in addition to the
amount subscribed, was adopted. The
report of the City Treasurer was read
and showed the balance ON hand at the
beginning of the present month to
have been So, 4S4 90. A resolution
appropriating $50 for the purchase of
an instrument to test the quality of
Illuminating gas was adopted and the
meeting was adjourned.
