Murphy took full charge of the handling of the ship, while the first mate superintenced the launching of the boats.

ENDED Q¥ DISCORD Members of thé Seoular Eeague Talk About Newsboys. ; aw See | RESOLUTIONS 41D ON THE TABLE kes avn Conservative SMémbers Condemn oA ExtreménMeasures. MANY DIFFERENT VIEWS The Washington Secular League held a mass meeting at Typographical Temple yesterday -afternoon for the purpose of taking action on the Commissioners’ order prohibiting newsbays from calling their pa- pers on the streets of this city on Sundays, and also to pretest against the exemption of church property from taxation. There was a'good deal of talk about the “evils that follow in the train of priest- craft,” there were many speeches in de- nuncilation of laws that exempt church Property from taxation, and every one tcuched upon the question of the Coramis- sioners’ order. forbidding. the newsboys from calling their wares. Finally, when resolutions expressing the sense of the meeting were drafted, they were tabled, Le- cause they were declared to contain too much irrelevant matter, and to be too illiberal to be approved by liberals. The resolutions called forth a heated discussion, and the action in tabling them caused the member who drew them to declare their de- feat to be the result of cowardice, and that he would never again frame resolu- tions for the league, As the audience assembled in the temple at 3 o'clock, each arrival was presented with a yellow dodger announcing a incet- ing of the National Spiritualists’ Associa- tion in Baltimore during the coming week, and half of the audience. which filled the hall were of the spiritualistic persuasion. Slightly more than, one-tenth of those pres- ent were ladies. a Mr. Maurice Pechim, president of the Sec- ular League, presided, and after a piano and violin solo had been rendered, D. Web- ster Groh came forward. “Some of us say,” said Mr. Groh, “that the church is dead, but after the tyranny we have witnessed during the past few days it doesn’t look that way.” The speaker went on to say that he had free thought publications with which to supply the audience at the publishers’ prices, and that he was selling them mere- ly to get people to read them. Besiding the presiding officer on the pla’ form there were three speakers, all mem- bers of the National Spiritualists’ Asso- ciation. They were-President Harrison D. Barrett, L. V. Moulton, president of the Michigan State Association, and Dr. Geo. A. Fuller, president cf the Massachusetts State Association. Clergy Do Not Favor It. Mr. Barrett was the first to speak. He tho.ght that nine-fenths of the people in this city had condenined the Commission- ers’ order agains} the newsboys, and he did not believeds*the more intelligent clergy” believed iff #¥ppressing the news- boy cn Sunday. cause a few,bigots attempt to sup- press liberty,” sald Mr. Barrett, “it does not follow that zi! #ho wear the same coats are of the oe The speaker theh referred to the ques- tion of the beret Pe church property.

He said thig actioa had ‘hroused the greatest opposition to. the. exemption. of church Property: from taxatiom and. quoted. Presi- dents Jefferson ‘and Garfield. in opposition to such exemptions; - He said that in 1870 there was untaxéd church property in this country amounting to $54,000,000, In 1890 such property amounted to: $2,000,000,00 and in 1900 the aggregate would be $3,000,- 000,000, {he revenue from the taxation of which at the rate of tax levied in New York, would be $75,000,000 annually. The exemp- tion of that property from taxation, he said, made every workingman in the coun- try pay a higher tax on his home. Dr. Fuller of Massachusetts spoke of the newsboys as the “heralds of progress, which sentiment was greeted with pro- longed applause. The Rell Rang. At this moment the bells of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, just around the corner from the temple, rang for vespers. “Listen to that bell disturbing our meet- ing,” said some one in the audience. Dr. Fuller continued to say: “The minister earns his living on Sun- day by using his voice, and I don’t know why the newsboy should not have the same privilege.” He said that at his home in Massachu- setts the street railroads hal been forced to take the bells off their horses on Sun- day, and he thought there might later be @ crusade against the ringing of gongs on electric cars on Sunday. “I stand with the newsboys,” he said, “against these men, who have outlived their usefulness; who are a stench in the nostrils of all decent people.’”” He said he could not think he was living in the country of Washingwon and Jeffer- son, but felt that he was in the country of Jonathan Edwards and Calvin. “What Calvanism has asked for,” he said, “‘she has generaliy obtained, because of the political power on her side.” He urged members of the Secular League and all other “‘liberals’’ to organize, in order io meet the organized church on the other side. Applause was frequently given the speaker's remarks. L. V. Moulton opened his address by the recital of a poem ridiculing all the creeds and concluding with the lines, “There's no use for the Lord to send drum- mers around ‘When he wants to do business with me.” “If we are to suppress the newsboys,” said Mr. Moulton, “why should we not suppress the news jie sells, and if we sup- press the news why not suppress the schools, so that people cannot learn to read the news. If the newsboy is a nuis- ance on Sunday morning he is a nuisance on Monday morning. This oute the newsboy is not because 1 anybody.

He was not disturbed by the newsboys or by the church fells, but he supposed other people might In response tq Mr,.Pechim's invitation W. A. Coddy went 26 the platform and announced that he’ Was a believer in the Christian doctrine, and. that he found much benefit in that belief, He referred to the newsboys but briefty,,and said he had long favored the taxation of church property, as he knew many is did. to members of thy Se League to bend their efforts to:)ring; about this reform rather than to~yidicule religious beliefs. He was glad to join with members of the Secular League in endeavoring to have church property taxed. He would welcome, he said, any instrument that God uses to bring about truth, and for that reason he could act with the league, even if it de- nounced his rejigious beliefs. Francis B. Woodbury, secretary of the National Spiritualists’ Association, said the crusade against the exemption of church property. from taxation was to be carried on throughout the country. This crusade would be carried on in New York next month, and then the tion would be agitated in New ‘and Atienta by his association 3 E ‘W. A.

Site Mr. Groh took occasion to offer regolu- tions, which he hoped the league would adopt, but he was much disappointed. These resolutions follow! “Whereas some of the Washington clergy, who, like children, travel on S fare tickets, have their church property en- tirely exempt from taxstion, labor princi- pally on Sunday at immense wages, through vociferous exhortation, notsy revival meet- ings, clanging church bells, Salvation Army drums, &c., on the pretense of desiring” Sunday quiet, audaciously endeavor to pre- vent the poor, honest, industrious news- boys from selling their Sunday papers through ‘crying’ them, regardless of the fact that reading a newspaper is the quiet- est possible way of spending a Sunday cut- side of interment in a cemetery or sleeping. in church; and - “Whereas from time immemorial theolo- gians have forbidden men to ‘taste the fruits of the tree of knowledge,’ and have veiled their insidious attacks on Sunday newspapers and other means of dissemi- ‘| nating knowledge under various hollow pretexts: Therefore be it “Resolved, That the Washington Secular League earnestly condemns any attempt by the enemies of knowledge to restrict its dissemination through Sunday newspapers, and vigorously protests against the making of any city ordinances preventing news- boys from advertising their stock in trade. “Resolved, That a committee of the Sec- ular League be delegated to the District Commissioners, respectfully asking them to reconsider and revoke their order to pro- hibit newsboys from crying their Sunday papers, and issue instead an order prohib= iting the ringing of church bells and the making of other unnecessary so-called re- ligious noises.” The resolutions were referred to the ex-" ecutive committee, and, when approved by that body, were brought before the league for adoption. A Lively Debate. Nathan Parkins, a young man, vigorously objected to.the resolutions as dealing with subjects with which the league, he de- clared, had nothing to do. He said there was no necessity for attacking the ringing of church bells, and it was no business of the league how much the churches paid their pastors. There was too much irrele- vant matter in the resolutions. A motion was made to have the resolu- ‘ions tabled. This brought Mr. Groh to his feet, and he made a fiery speech in favor of his resolutions, saying the sons of lib- erty should march upon the enemy when attacked, and that only through cowardice could the resolutions be defeated. The audience applauded his fiery words, but was soon won over to the calmer and more conservative arguments put forth by V. Baldwin Johnson, who said the adoption of such resolutions as had been offered would be a shame to the ieague. He said that it was desired to ga:n accessions to the league's membership, but that could not be done when the league was placed before the public in a wrong light by the adoption of such resoiu:ions. He had no more liking for illiberali‘y among free thinkers than he had for it when he found it in the church. The public would be dis- gusted by the exhibition of the league aJopting such resolutions. It wa3 suffi- cient that they should embody a condem- naticn of the order prohibiting the erying oz newspapers on Sitadays. This lively discussion was prolonged un- tit dusk came on, and the hail was getting darker and darker. Mr. Groh pleaded that his resolutions be adopted, as their defeat would mean that no action would be taken. ‘There were cries for a vote on the motion to table the resolutions, and parts of the audience began moving from the hall. A viva voce vote carried the motion, a: loud applause, in the midst of which could be heard the voice of Mr. Groh. “Those are the last resolutions I will ever draw for this league,” he called out, pas- sionately. The meeting then adjourned without action on the subject of the Commissioners’ order. Views of Star Correspondents. Letters received by The Star from read- €rs discuss different phases of the question. One point that is overlooked by some is that the existing police regulation, which wili be annulled if the new order goes into effect, prohibits the crying of papers Sun- day mornings before 7 o'clock and after 10:30 o'clock. Harry Park, writing to The Star, says: “So far as I can see, nobody is seeking to deprive any one of their ‘personal liberty’ or taking bread out of the boys’ mouths or curtailing to any serious extent their priv- ilege of selling newspapers en Sunday, as some of the writers assert. I am and al- ways have been a resident of the downtown portion of the northwest section of our city, and to say that the early Sunday mcrning crying of the newsboys is trying is putting it extremely mild. “The boys secure their papers about 6:30 @.m., and from the moment they are in their hands, they begin their incessant yell! yell! yell! Now, this ts all wrong. Every- body does not want to get up on Sabbath mornings at any such kour, but it is utterly useless to try to sleep. I have heard boys stand on one corner and call to boys on the next block if ‘they wanted to exchange,’ or ‘did they want to sell any,’ etc. That is what our two reverend gentlemen are seek- ing to stop, and not, as I understand it, the sale of “the papers. My suggestion is this: That tne crying of papers be prohib- ited before 8 o’clock and after 11 a.m. With such restriction it would not be depriving the boys or men of. their means of living, and any one desiring a paper before or after those hours could easily procure it by taking the trouble to go to the door, instead of waiting until the usual call is heard.” W. H. Keyworth writes: “Don't stop the boys from crying out their Sunday papers. If their cries wake any one up, why, let them wait until the boy sells all his papers, and then go to sleep again. Let them cry. They can’t wake me.” C. M. C. writes: Problem for Mr. Crof- fut to solve: If 300 newsboys of a Sunday morning sell ten papers each and cry thirty times for each sale, how many papers will the same 300 boys sell on a similar Sunday morning without bawling their wares 90,000 times? A great many people In this town think that not a single reader of the 3,000 would thus be deprived of his Sunday pa- per. They would either do as many do, have a boy deliver it regularly and with- out the least trouble or extra cost to any one, or they would step to the door and cail a boy. So the poor newsboy argument falls to the ground. The argument that tie church bell nuisance should be curtailed if the newsboys are to be restrained from waking everybody at daylight on Sunday morning is beside the quesuion. The church bell—a very attractive element of a pas- teral community, but a nuisance in a city— ought to go. But even if it still disturbs the repose of people, is that any argument why another much more widespread nui- sance should not be abated? Do two wrongs moke a right? “The third plea, that the order of the Commissioners strikes at personal liberty, is ridfculous. Does not every police regu- lation curtail personal lberty—to do wrong? The real question is not properly stated by Mr. Croffut. 1t is, shall the personal lib- erty of the few override the personal’ lib- erty of the many? Shall 300 bawling boys, more or less, be allowed every Sunday morning to awaken almost the entire pop- ulation, including invalids, without advan- tage to any one? The Commissioners in this matter have acted with sound discre- tion and commendable firmness. They will not be affrighted with the personal liberty bugaboo or the intemperance of gentlemen who, while imagining that they are very tolerant, are really striking examples of in- tolerance of the rights and opinions of the majority. This campaign against needless city noises is widespread. It is particularly active in New York, and has influenced many people to forsake the city for the country. All of which indicates that the movement here is normal and along nat- oe es of yee me e order made by the trict. Commis- sioners prohibit the crying of news- papers on Sunday will not take effect for thirty days, as thirty days’ notice is re- quired to make a new police regulation fective.

NEW FACILITIES AT PITTSBURG Half a Million Devoted to the Work at the Smoky City. HOW IT WAS DONE The improvements of the terminal facili- ties of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at | Pittsburg, which have been in progress for eeveral months, are rapidly approaching completion, and will be shortly put In ser- vice. ~ The improvements include the building of two miles of new main track and one mile of third track, the three being carried over 2d avenue, where the eastern end of the im- provements in the Pittsburg yards begins, on‘ three-track stecl truss bridge 139 feet in length. These two main tracks and the third track lead to the new yards. From the bridge to a point 1,500 feet east a stone wall was built along 2d avenue, which con- tained about 6,000 yards of masonry. The abutments and approaches to the bridge over 2d avenue required 2,300 yards of ma- sonry. es Under the new yard facilities the main passenger tracks, two in number, run along the bank of the river, and the arrangement is such that the passenger and freight trains Go not interfere with one another. From the present location of main tracks it took 165,000 cubic yards of dirt to fill in the embankment to the low water line, giving about 70 feet more room for the yards. Running through the yards, and now being paved, is 4 40-foot street, 3,000 feet long, with main bulk delivery tracks cn each side. ‘The material used in paving is Belgian blocks, and !t will take 11,700 yards. When thjs work is completed it will cost in the neighborhood of $240,000. Another Quarter Million Expenditure. The improvement at Glenwood is what is known as the Glenwood cut-off. The new tracks leave the main line of the Pittsburg division one-half mile east of the Lockland junction of the Pittsburg and Conncllsville and Pittsburg and Western connection tracks. It crosses 2d avenue at grade, and then starts on a solid embankment for a thousand feez, the embankment ranging from five to twenty-five feet in heignt. It crosses the Monongahela connection ral!- road overhead on a long truss bridge, with a 93-foot span. Then it strikes into a double- track modern trestle, 5,300 feet in length and 43 feet high, following the river bank. The foundation for this trestle consists of 1,800 piles, most of which have been driven to a great depth, and it is said to be one of the neatest pieces of pile-driving work that has been done in this country. The tim- ber used for the trestle is Georgia pine from Savannah, and about 3,000,006 were needed for the work. At the cast end of the trestle the new freight yards begin. Tkough at present tracks have been pro- vided for the accommodation of 1,000 cars, the full plans call for a yard capacity of 2,000 cars. The yard is laid out on the diagonal plan, and in building it the mov- ing of several frame and brick houses was invoived. he cut-off strikes the main iracks zgain at the east end of the old Gicnwood yard, about a half mile east of the Glenwood sta- tion. A Blockade Overcome. This cut-off will abolish the trouble at the Hazelwood crossing. Under the ar- rangements which were in vogue for many years, and which have not yet been done away with, all trains that are made up and taken out of the Glenwood yards have to back across 24 avenue at Hazelwood and stop, resulting in blockades witii such frequency that the railroad company and the city officials have come in conflict more than once. When the cut-off is com- pleted all the freight trains from both di- rections will run Into the new yards and there will be no blocking of the streets, as they will not move across the street until they get the proper signal from the tow- ers, one cf. which will be located at each end. The passenger trains will continue to use the present main tracks and only such freight as is local in character will be sent arourd through Hazelwood. The entire cost of the Glenwood work is esti- mated at $250,000. Will Need Over a Million. The Pittsburg and Western company, which is owned by the Baltimore and Ohio company, but at present is operated by Vice President Thomas M. ing as re- ceiver, and which gives the Baltimore and Ohio trains their northern route to Chi- cago, will also spend a large sum of money in improvements at various points along the line from Pittsburg west, and for additional equipment, Mr. King having been authorized by the United States court at Pittsburg to negotiate a loan of more than $1,300,000 with a Philadelphia bank- ing house for the purpose. A New B. and Of Official. Mr. William Gibson, who has been icm- porarily acting as assistant to General Manager Greene of the Baltimore and Ohio, will tomorrow become assistaat gen- eral superintendent of the lines east of the Ohio river. Mr. Greene and General Superintendent Fitzgerald are perfectly agreed that the weight of the operation of the Baltimore and Ohio property lies be- tween the Ohio river and Locusi Point, and tor some time Mr. Fitzgerald has felt the need of an active, earnest and per- fectly capable and loyal assistant, aud at his request Mr. Greene has allowed Mr. Fitzgerald to take Mr. Gibson, who is one of Mr. Greene’s personal staff. WEYLER RETURNS TO HAVANA. Latest Edicts of the Spanish Captain General. Captain General Weyler is back in Havana.

Four men were killed and one seriously injured in a frightful freight wreck that took place near New Haven, Mo., yester- day morning. A washout caused the train to plunge down into the Missouri river, wrecking thirteen cars. The dead are: Gomer Evans, enginecr; Henry Hauckept, fireman; J. E. McQueen, brakeman; passenger, name unknown. A steady rain had been falling during tho past chirty-six hours, causing a rapid rise of the Missouri river, which is skirted by the Missouri Pacific railroad. In many places the current caused washouts. This was the cause of the wreck. ‘When train No. 128, in charge of Conduc- tor C. L. Lee and Engineer Gomer Evans, reached the washout the engine and tender went down in the river, burying Gomer ineer; Henry Hauckept, firema: and JE.
