Mr. Mott's church is united to a man in his support, and will retain him as pastor, * @ven if to do 80 compels 1t to withdraw from the presbytery. Certain liberal sermons preached by Mr. Mott in times past are the occasion of his being bauled over the coals. "The city is quite stirred up over the matter.

Wasmivoerox, March 80.—In the woman's suffrage convention this morning Mrs, Eliza- beth Lisle Saxon, of Tennessce, created a sensation by her discourse on“Social Purity,” She spoke very plainly of the social evil, of thie imprudence of women in not confiding to their children the great secrets and truths of life instead of letting them learn from chil- dren and servants. Mrs. Anna Rice Powell, of New York spoke of the age of protection in varions states, and paid a tribute to Kansas as having made that age eighteen years, while in one state 1t was as low as seven years, Mrs, Armiston Chant vouched for the truthfulness of the charges published in the Pall Mall Gazette, saying she would stake her life on their correctness. She spoke principally of the work of social purity so- cietios in Great Britain. Girls, before there was any legislation in tho matter, were taken in droves by procuresses to the continent to fill houses of i1l fame, under the pretense of getting them 21;«-; at service. Harriet B. Shattuck and Clara Clayborne Hoffman spoke in the same strain as Mrs, Saxon had done. All remedies would be but partial and disappointing until woman stands eyerywhere in perfect equal- ity with man; until society, and law, and church, regard marriage as o perfect part- nership and she an equal partner. The horror of lustful children being brought into the world will continue until woman is recog- nized as having the right to say when the new life shall begi Parents, when that time arriyes, will have no shame in teaching their children the mysteries of life. Frances Willard, as o preface to her re- marks, read a petition to be signed, urging congress to raiso the age of consent wher- ever it has absolute coutrol to eighteen years. She attacked low-necked dresses and said those wearing them borrowed the idea from women she would be ashamed to touch. She also condeumed the half nude Jpictures of women uscd as advertisements. She also touched upon the impropriety of stage dress- ing and the evils of round dancing. President and Mrs. Cleveland gave a spac- ial reception at the white house this after- noon to members of the women's council, At the evening session the theme for dis- cussion was ‘‘The Political Condition and ‘Women's Right to the Ballot.” The first ad- dress was by TIsabella Beecher Hooker, of Connecticut, who asserted that the words ““the people” everywhere used in the consti tution showed it was the intention of the framers to place women on a perfect equali with men. J. Ellen Foster said the denial of woman's right to vote was a defiance of nine- teenth century civilization, ~The women of the United States would never cease this agitation until liberty of heart, head and hynd is sccured to every citizen of the repubiic. Mrs. Harriet H. Robinson said nothing was to be expected from either of the two political parties. The prohibition party is very good about passing resolutions, but as yet has no Lm]m'cnl power, and & wa- jority of the members usually publican ticket. The only hope s the formation of a new party, whi advocate our own with other leading forms. The old parties are slowly dying out. - FIFTIETH CONGRESS, House. WisniNeToN, March 80.—The senate amendments were non-concurred in to the house bill authorizing the president to ar- range a conference for the purpose of en- couraging reciproca commercial relations between the United States and Mexico, Cen- tral and South America and Brazil. A joint resolution appropriating $25,000 to cnable the United States to parti international exhibition of adopted. The house bill granting a pension of §2,000 per annum to Mary T. Logan and the scnate bill increasing to §2,000 per annum the pen- sion of Appolin A. Blair were then taken up. Mr. Warner of Missouri, advocated their age. Mr. Tarney of Michigan, opposed them, particularly the Logan bill, saying it was time to call a halt when congress was asked to pay pensions to the widows of United States senators, Mr. Taulbee of Kentucky, opposed the bills as being class legislation and discriminative against the widows of general officers killed during the war, Mr. Cannon of Tllinois said he would vote for both bills, not only on account of the dis- tinguished services of the deceased, but on the broader ground of a sound public policy. The country had relied on these citizens of old, and took pride in voting for these bills, 50 he could say to the youth of the land that they should try to achiove the grandeur that those men hiad achieved. Mr. Clardy of Missouri spoke in the same strain, Mr. Mason of Tllinois said Mrs. Logan was an ideal American. She had been at Bolmont and Shiloh, not only for her husband’s sake, but for the sake of the sufferers in the hos- pital. Days and nights, weeks and months, without compensation, she stood beside the bed of the . weak and the suffering. This bill was for the relief of Mary Logan, and this fact should be considered by gentlemen in deciding the way in which they shouid vote. Mr. Springer said the services of such men as Logan and Blair were beyond the meas- urement of dollars and cents. The pending bills in but & fecble manner offered the nation’s tribute to the memory of the departed hero Henderson of Tllinois, McDonald of Minne- sota, and Laird of Nebraska, briefly favored the bills. loe of Tennessee and Walker of Missouri were opposed to the bills, which proposed to establish class legislation, Mr, Wilson of Minnesota opposed the bills as un-American and unjust to other pen- sioners. Mr. Hateh of Missouri, saw no reason why the widows of Logan and Blair should be taken out of the class of widows of other gal- lant oficers who recélved but 50 a month and have their pensions raised to #2,000 a year, when the average income of the people of Missouri, who would pay & portion of it, was less than bhadf that sum. Mr. Dockery, of Missours, directed his re- murks especially to the Blair bill, which he earnestly advocate Mr. Cochran, of New York, favored the pending measures and said if congress cs- tablished the rule that thewidows of men like Logan and Blair were not to be con sidered the wards of the nation it would dis- courage the display of putriotie devotion if oceasion should arise. The Logan bill then passed—154 to 95, and the Blair bill passed, 145 to 91, The evening session of the house will be devoted to private pension bills, Spain was pa Nebraska and lowa Pensions, Wasmisaros, March 80.—[Special Telo- gram to the Bee.]-~The following pensions for Nebraskans were granted to-day: Origi nal Invahd—Williaw H.

[Special Telégram to the Bee.]—Nelson G. Green, a lawyer, has sued the Vanderpoele Electric Manu- facturing company for $1,132,000 for alleged services, and has also procured temporary injunction restraining the company from pay- ing out or receiving money, thus effectually tying up the business. The hearingfor a con- tinuance of the injunction is set for Monday, despite the opposition of the defendants, who hold that it is a gross injustice to tic up their affairs insuch a_manner. The Vanderpocle company does a large electric light business, constructs clevated railronds, ote. Some time ago Green made a proposition that the Dbusiness be divided between the two com- panios and offered to form a new organiza tion to attend to the railroad branch and said he could obtain a large amount of capital to putinto the enterprise. ‘The oficers of the company were favorably -improssed and agreed to form a new company if Green would procure £350,000 cash inside of ten days as guarantee. During the next three weeks Green hustled very hard and borrowed £700 from the company, who finally conctuded he could not keep his promise and refused to have anything more to do with him. Now Green brings suit_clauning ho has a verbal contract, and wants $1,000,000 of the com- puny’s stock, and $300,000 cash. The Van- erpocle company characterize lis suit as ridiculous. ———— ‘Weather Inaications.

Onslay, of Datlas, Tex., was invited to read a paper he had pre- pared on feeding cattle, The document was a somewhat lengthy ono but was listened to with pleasure by tho delegates, as it was most interesting and exhaustive. At the conclusion of the reading of Mr. Onsley’s paper the committee on tho revision of the constitution made @ roport presenting that instrument as rovised by the committee. On motion of Governor Routt it was read by sections and adopted with but little discussion, The prin- cipal changes made were in the qualifications for membership which were changod so that instead of members being composed of asso- ciations they should hereafter be admitted as individuals without regard to the number of head owned by them.

Also a reduction of rates in proportion to the de- cline in prices realized and be it, Resolved, That all range caftlemen are severally requested to pitronize the railroads that furnish the facilities asked for. Resolved, Further, thut the board of di- rectors of ‘the International Range associa- tion are hereby instructed to consider the matter of transportation‘and the use of im- proved stock cars and to issue an address to the cattlemen of the range country on the subject. ) In a lengthy discussfon of this resolution the car most " favorably !spoken of by the members of the convention was the Newell patent, now in use on the Missouri Pacific. Mr. C.'C. White, of Tekhs, offercd tho follow- ing which, after considerable discussion, was defeated by a vote of 21 to 19: Resolved, That the congress of the Unitod States be requested to_take off all duties upon cattle and beeves imported from Mexico into the United States. cretary Taylor offered the following, which was adopted : ; Resolved, That the delogates of the Inter- national Range association from Mexico b requested to urge on the Mexican inspector the necessity of quarantine. regulations in Mexico.

A horrible accident happened to Mrs, William Golden, living &t Twenty-second and Seward strects, shortly before noon yes- terday that will cause her untold suffering and probably cost her her life. She was preparing dinner at the time on a gasoline stove, and while bending over the cooking viands the stove suddenly exploded. The burning goso- line was scattered all over her clothes, set ting them on fire, and in & moment she' was cnveloped in a sheet of flame. She shricked in terror, and her mother, who was in a neighboring room, rushed to'ber assistance. Itwaswith the greatest difficulty that tho mother tore the burning clothes from off her daughter, ~ blistering her own hands badly, and sctting fire to her own _cloth while performing this labor of love. Mr Golden was finally released from her shroud of flame, but not until her hands, arms, breast and neck were terribly burned, Half of her hair was burned from her heag. Her sufferings were intense, but her mother y tally relieved them by scattering flour over tho burnt places in the flesh, and a physician was senf for. The doctor has heen doing_ all he can for lier, but he says she is in a very critical condition. He says her fright has in jured her almost as badly as tho fire, THE UNION PACIFIO, of 1ts President, Oharles Francis Adams. Special car No, 1 arrived from Chicago 3 terday morning with President Charles Fran- cis Adams,of Boston. The gentleman wont at onceto the Millard and after lunch was driven to the headquarters of the road, whore he was closeted for some time with Acting General Manager Kimball. At the conclu- sion of the conference Mr. Adams made a tour of inspection of the bullding and par- tiaily overlooked the reports of heads of de- sartments. He will remain in the city until he has thoronghly examined the workings of all the departments. In all probability Mr. Adams' visit has much to do in_the seiection of Mr. Potter's successor, and developments may be ox- pected at any time. A Bre reporter inquired of Mr. Kimball if anything had been said concerning the ap- pointment of Mr. Potter's successor, and was informed that he would continue in the apacity of acting general manager until the approaching election for directors, when the matter would be definitely sottled. Mr. Adams will, it is thought, finish his business to-dpy and leave for the cast to-night. Ao bt THEY WILL NOT PAY. Saloonkeepers Resolve Not to Comply With Broatch's Order. One hundred und sixty saloonkeepers as- sembled in Hornberger's hall yesterday afte noon to discuss the feasibility of complying with the mayor's demands in requiring them to pay $750 on their license instead of the for- mer quarterly payments of §250. The meet- ing was made a strictly private one, owing to the influence of Henry Hornberger and Patsy Fallon. All newspaper men and other out- siders were carefully excluded, although many of the saloonkeepers favored an open mecting, as they claimed there was to be no business transacted that they were ashamed of, and further a secret meeting was too sug- gostive of conspi 1o outsiders. But ihe exclusionists had their own way and Patsy Fallon was awarded the office of sergeant-al- arms. The meeting was in session about two hours and the only motion of any importance ‘was to the effect that all the saloonkeepel refuse to pay more than the usual quarte payment of 8250 a time on their license: The question was debated at length, many speaking warmly in favor of it. Among 1its advocates were Messrs. Higgins and Horn- berger. When the question was put to a voto it was carried almost unanimously, only three of the 160 being in favor of paying their £750 in April, These three were Gus S Mr. Darst, of Doty & Darst, and Mike Afterwards Mike said that he would sta with the boys, as the great majority of them were in favor of the &250 quarterly payments, and promised to aid them in the fight. One of the saloonkiepers thought that Mayor Broatch was attempting to arrog to himself the authority and oftice of the gov- ernor of the state, as he was 1ignoring the city ordinances and clamoring for an execu- tion of the statutes. He was clected by the peovl®to attend to city matters and city laws, and not to meddle with state matters, A number of the saloonkeepers said that while they could readily pay the §750 in a Tump, they opposed it, as they believed that the present action of the mayor was nothing more nor less than a tightening of the grip on the saloonmen’s throuts. If they yielded in this case without a struggle, the mayor would continue the systemutic persecution ne has begun, and next move on his part’ would to close the loous on Sunda If the had o guarantee from the mayor that he would not close them up on Sunda; and would allow thom to keep open until o'clock every night, they would pay the & .

Arcnsoy, Kan., March 20,—To the Editor of the £ Four we 10 & body of men belonging to the railroad profession known as the Brotherhood of Locomotive Enginecrs and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and several others following the same pro. sion but not members of either order, saw fit to resign in a body. their situations as loc motive engineéers and firemen in the employ of the railroad system known as the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy after having for weeks exhausted every legitimate and honorable means of obsaining redress for the wrongs and injustice they. were and for years ha been enduring at the hauds of this system or rather its ofiicials. They after careful, calm and earnest deliberation, came to the conclusion that the only redress left them was to resign their situations in a body, a t and privilege, by the way, which was rs exclusively and legitmately. Judge v, of Omaha, and the St. Louis Glob Democrat and other papers of that ilk, to the contrary, notwithstanding. 1 repeat, they de- cided to resign their situations in a body, and see if the temporary cessation of business and consequent pecuniary loss might not bring the management of this system to see that it was really more profitable to pay competent and skilled engineers and firemen on the *Q" system who are recognized by their co-laborers in the same profession to be second to none | they asked was a fair doy's wages for a fair day's work, as all the other railroad systems of this North Ames ican continent wre paying, and, above all, equal pay for the same work and responsi bilities required of each man, in ug the same punishments for neg of duty or wfractions of rules, whether he be an eng or fireman of one or twenty years' lence. Acting on the above they resigmed their situations—un an action generally termed strike—by that class of newspapers who are extremely 8o licitous to place any mo of the labor. s 10 amprove their condition in an ble light before the public, being » that if the public generally only ) taken that this sction was ning of their situations that not only would they look upon it that such men were merely asserting their rights as American citizens, but that possibly they might examine and be willing to admit that these same men had grave and serious cause for complaint in the manner of the company's dealing toward them, therefore to more effectually throttle public sympathy, they term all such movements “strikes,” fully satisfied that with a large proportion of the publie such movements will e classed as second cousin to communism and anarchy, aud thergfore undeserving of a thought or sympathy from the general public. Aud no Mr. Editor, let us see how this matter hi progressed or retrograded. Ln February 27 out of the 1,918 engineers and firemen on the HQ." system 1,917 resigned their siluations, and one remained “trooly loll" 1o the com- Arrival th be breaker cution any, and from that dap to this everybody 'rom the general manager and his corps of able assistants around the throne down to tho av Bx0 depot agent, who is dying to distingnish himself in this 8truggle and show his gen manager how oasy 1t was (to use his familiar expression), “to down these 1wo brotherhoods,” train after train of totally empty cars have boen scaled, billed and rushed over the system and rushed back again, to confirm the public that they could do without_these competent engincers an.i firemen and make believe thoy were doing « rushing business. Agents have rushed into print to inform the public that &00 would cover the cost of dmnn?fl done to engines since the strike, while a simple truth is, and ono known to every prac tical engineer and machinist, that £300,000 will not begin t cover the damage done to rolling stock alone by this magnificent band of cailthumpans who are now trying to per suade the locomotive of the “Q'" system to only convey them to the end ‘of each trip without stopping for breath more than five or six times on « hill or trip, tirades of abu: have been heaped upon these men. Eastern papers, in n purely anglo-maniac eastern style, have declared the strike “hau'ff, yer ¢ others have asserted that they ovght ompelled to work. One judge has seen fit to stain the ermine he wears by a de- fon more worthy of despotic Russia than frec America, that these men were by law compelled to haul theso “Q" cars and could rot refuse without being amenable to the law, and yet Mr, Editor, through all this, ith all the abuse of the press heaped upon them, which, by the way, has much im- prossion (being wrongly dirccted) as water on a duck’s back, with all the open attacks of declared enemics and the insidious attacks of professed friends, what has been the atti tuce of this bandsof heroos! Truly & quict and stern rebuke to those who have been hounding them for the past four woeks. Conscious of the justness of their cause thoy wait the issue with that same calm, earnest determination that scores and scores of thoir co-partners in labor have met death on man; and'many a train in this land, sacrificing their own lives to save those behind them when at the same time they were perfect justified in saving their own even if all else were lost. But such deeds of of heroism in the present desire to break up the two broth- crhioods are entirely lost sight of, but they will not loose heart;they know' that 40,000 men in their profession are avith them in heartfelt sympathy and that sympathy will take practical financial form when nec- essary, and they also know that there aro tens of thousands throughout this broad land which wish them success in this struggle for right and justice, and why do they obtain such sympathy from their fellow laborers in the railroad profession. Becauso they know these men did not decide upon such a step thoughtles lightly, they knowthat these men recognized that the means of support and possible future happiness for several thousand women and children hung on the decision of this band of brave men battling for their rights might arrive at, and knowing these men they recognized such a determination would not be arrived at without calm and earnest dis- cussion of the matter in all its bearing and that once decided upon it would be carried out fully and faithfuily by each and every member of that body. Farther because they know of the many weary nights and days that they have to spend on duty; how they have to put up with cold meals procured any- where, at any time, and oft’ times at high prices, they know the wear and tear of the ocomotive profession has on the human frame, of the years and years of heavy manual labor that has to be put in before they arrive at the top of the tree; they know of ihe severe and unnecessary punishment inflicted upon engineers and firemen. for the slightest infraction of any of the comany’s rules; they know in fact all the trials, hard- ships’ and’ peculiar dangers attending the following of the locomotive profession, and knowing this they felt that all those who follow this profession are entitled to the highest wages paia for any skilled profe: sion, whether the demand for the supply calls for it or not, and fecling this they symputhize with these ‘men, wishing them' success in their struggle and meanwhile resolving to aid them by all the legitimate meuns iu their power, Yours, C.R.

Suggestiona By the Presidont to the Commission. NEW CLASSIFICATION REQUIRED. Caution Necessary in the Execution of Oertain Rules—The Commise sion in Accord With the ® Views of the President, Cleveland on Civil Service. WasniNGToN, March The prosident has sent a long letter to the civil sorvice commission recommending the extension of classified service, He says: ‘I desiro to malke a suggestion regarding sub-livision C, general rulo Ifl, of the amended rules pro- mulgated on February 2. It provides for the promotion of an employe in tho depart- ment who is below or outside of the classified service to apluce within said classifiod ser- vico in the same department upon tho ro- quest of the appointing officer, upon tho rec- ommendation of the commission and the ap- proval of the president after a non-competi- tive cxamination, in case such person has scrved continuously for two years in the place from which it is proposed to promote him. This provision must be executed with caution, to avoid the application of it to cases not intended, and undue ro- laxation of the general purposos of the civil sorvice law., Non-competitive examinations are oxceptions to the plan of the met, and rules permitting the same should be strictly construed. Casos arisin under the exception above recited, should procisely meet all the requirements specified and should be supported { facts which will develop the basis and reason of the applica- tion of the appointing officer and which will commend them to the judgment of the com- mission and president. The sole purpose of the provision is to benefit the public service, aud it should never be permitted to operate as an evasion of the main feature of the law, which is competitive examinations. As theso cases will first be presented to the commis- sion for recommendation, I have to request that you will formulate o plan by which their merits can be tested. This will naturally - volve the statement of all the facts deemed necessary for the determination of such applications, Attention is also ocalled to the necessity _of & better and uniform classification of ~emplg, in the different departments. After referrin, to the several classifications and grades of salary in the government depariments, tho president says: I wish the commission would revise these classifications and submit to mo @ plan which will, as far as possible, make them uniform and remedy the present condi- tion which permits persons to enter a grado in the service of one department without any exumination, which in auother department can only be éntered after passing such oxam- ination. One of the commissioners said to- day that the views of the commissioners are in fullaccord with those of the president, i et THE BANK CAVED IN. Two Persons Buricd by a Kall of Earth.
