The Outcome of the Railroad Rate Oonference Remains a Matter of Conjecture—Lincoln and the Registration Law—Brevities. [PROM TNE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] ‘The Presbyterian synod continued its in- teresting session yesterday with a marked increaso in attendance. The moderator, Rev. K. Johnson, of St. Paul, presided at the sessions with ability. One of the features of yesterday's proceed- ings was the report from the two denomina- tional coileges in the state, those at Hastings sud Bellevue. The report of Hastings' col- Bge was especially flattering and cheering, showing & wide awake and energetic faculty and a constant increase in the attendance and support of the school. The report from Bellevue college, whilo not showing the ‘rapid advance and progress of the Hastings college, was quite satisfactory and showed increased interest being taken in the institu- tion. At 10 o'clock yesterday Dr. Cooper, of St. Louis, addressed the synod on the ques- tion of the relief fund for aged ministers. The address was listened to with the greatest of attention and was cloquent and masterly. In the afternoon the rush of business was to olose up matters as nearly as practical prior to final adjournment that takes place Mon- day morning. far the most animated discussion yet held during the session has been upon ihe temperance resolutions as presented by that committeo. The discussion was over the @fth resolution that read as follows: We believe the licensing of saloons by the #tate not only encourages the crimes com- mitted by the saloons but it opens up the which they are enabled to sweep like the tornado over our fair land, filling our alms houses and penitentiaries with their victims, This resolution was warmly opposed by embers of the synod because it was prac- tically a declaration in favor of abolishing the present license system while no other or better relief was offered. Members of the synod, while stating their desire for total and absolute prohibition, did not believe that the body should go on record as in favor of free whisky, rather than no license at all. It took several hours to dispose of the ques- tion, and the final disposition while condemn- ing the license system of the state as a fail- ure in suppressing the trafiic, did not make a direct declaration that therefore the license should be abolished before other and better methods were put in force. The Woman's Mission held largely _attended ing the synod and tra amount of wo- in their fleld. ; The nssign’ - ts for to-day in the different w'pits in thy 7 were as follows: At St. ul's M.

The registration law for voters, which was generally understood to hold good for Lin- coln as well as Omaha, is not regarded with favor by the taxpayers, and those who dis- liko 8o much machinery, and it is believed by many that it is an nunecessary precaution for a city the size of Lincoln. It has been agreed that the supreme court will be asked 1o pass upon the law, and the papers are pre- pared ready for presentation on the assemb- ling of the court Monday in the hopes that a hearing and decision ‘muy be reached not later than Tuesday or Wednesday.

SHICAGO, Oct. 15.—[Special Telegram to the Bk ]—Bankers report a good demand for money, with a tendency to a little close- ness as the packing season approaches and colder weather appears. The supply of loan- able funds, however, is ample to mect all legitimate requirements, but bankers as a rule are pursuing a very rvative and safe policy and borrowers are requived to place undoubted security for gl sums.

Grain receivers were borrowers to a certain extent, and considerable money was followed to the grain tions of the west and northwest Shippers asked for few favors and gene presented short date paper.

LEAbVILLE, Colo., Oct. 15.—[Special Tele- gram to the Ber.]—The city has been in great excitement all day over a big run on the Carbonate bank, one of the largest in the city. M. Mitchell, the cashier, was in Den- ver yesterday and sent up a large amount of money which saved the bank from having to temporarily close its doors. The run was caused by one William Fleetcher who by some is supposed to be insane and who is an enemy of the coucern, For several days past he has been going among the thousands of miners in camp telling them the bank was in- solvent and would close in a few days. The report spread like wildfire and early this morning a turbulent crowd of depositors gathered in a surging mass around the doors and when they were opened the anticipated run began and continued without diminution until 2 p. m., when there was not a_depositor in front of the paying teller's window. Tho demands came_entirely from miners and working men holding ~ certificates of de- posit and when these were pacified the run collapsed. Not a single merchant or business man drew out his funds and nearly all of them displayed confidence in the bank by depositing large amoy The deposits from this class aggregat than was ever before received in a single day. The management displayed a playcard early in the day announcing that the bank would remain open until 5 o'clock to meet demands, which had the effect of reassuring many do- positors, An oftigy of William Flotchor, the man who started the false reports about the bank, was hoisted upon a tar barrel in the street appropriately inseribed and created in- finite amusement.” There was no occasion whatever for the run and the whole thing grew out of the insane malice of the man Fletcher. Lynching and tar and feathers are freely discussed, and if Fletcher remains here he may be roughly used. The bank will open Monday morning stronger, if possibie, than before the run. The resourcos of the banlk, according to_its statement published October 11, are §1,040,523.05. ———— THE CROW DIFFICULTY.

The Secret of Vice President Potter's Visits to St. Paul St. Pavr, Minn.,, Oct. 15.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bee.]—Thomas Potter, vice president of the Union Pacific, and J. A. Munroe, gencral freight agent of the same road, were here to-day and held a conference with J. J. Hill, president of the Manitobs, relative to the expected cut of rates by the latter to Montana points. This is Mr. Potter's second visit to St. Paul within two weeks on the same errand, Mr. Potter's errand is to persuade Mr. Hill not to put in the low rates that it has come to be generally understood he will put in to western Montana points, Helena being the focus of the territory. The M anitoba's rate of §2 per 100 pounds to Fort Benton on mercl lmmlnw. first_class, is one- third less than the Northern Pacific’s rate to parallel points, and when this difference reaches Helena and the whole territory of the Union Pacific southward it consequently will disturb all its competitors. Tt is under- stood that tho Manitoba officials agreed to consider the matter further. All the trans. coutinental lines are interested in _the ques- tion, but as the Union Pacific is the nearest it is'left to Mr. Potter to try and fix things up, the Northern Pacific, of course, lending him all the aid possible. ' Tho policy of the Manitoba in connection with the other roads has been little known until the present sese fc reason that it had things its own ofore, having had no competition exc 1-\ the Northern Pacitic, and not_effeot- ing that for any considerable proportion of its own lino. The advent of any extension of the Manitoba into new territory has been the occasion for rates adopted on the consulta. tion of nobody except the Manitoba manage- ment. Now the Manitoba extension bids fair to demoralize rates in by far the largest sec- tion of the country with which the Manitoba has ever had to deal. Itis said by froight men that when the Manitoba realizes what will happen the low rates will not be adopted. The Assignee Named.
