Asan old railroad man said at the meeting: * This rate of $50 should be a temptation to bring East- ern men out here. It would give them a chance to see the Pacific Coast and enjoy California, which I know the great maiox~ ity of Eastern people have a hankering after.” The meeting adjourned pending a reply from the Burlington system. “But that's as good as settled already,” said General Agent D. W. Hitchcock of the Union Pacific. “The other roads must come in with us; there’s no way out of it— none. And asa matter of business they shall have to give the same rate. You may say that a $50 rate is assured on every railroad leaving Chicago for San Fran- cisco.” s10 10 877,450 t1LOS ANGEL CO-OPERATION. Chairman Faston Wants the Assistance of Our Enmergetic Neighbors. Yesterday the following letter was sent to the citizens’ committee of Los Angeles by Chairman Easton of the executive com- mittee, and it is probable that that city will send some of her ablest and best lieuten- ants to the front in Washington: OFFICE OF CITIZENS' (‘n\[\rrx'n:}:] ON NATIONAL CONV N RooyM 100, CHE Sax FRANCIECO, ( Osborne, Chairman Citizens' Commit- geles, Cal.—DEAR STR: Our work is 1 organized, ana a strong effort will be made to bring the next Republican National Convention to Californis.

LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 9.—The body of the burglar killed at Newmarket by Dr. Hale, and buried at Weston, has again been exhumed. It was at first identified by a St. Louis detective as that of Harry Hugueley, the son of a Boston millioraire. Then Colonel H. C.

INCREASING THE FUNDS. Consideration of the Vexed Ques- tion of Loans and Dona- tions. COLLECTIONS FALLING SHORT. Various Plans for Improving the Financial Condition of the Congregations. CHICAGO, Ir., Nov. 9.—The closing session of the church extension board of the Methodist Episcopal church was held to-day, when the report of the general committee to the general conference which will meet in Cleveland next May was con- sidered. This was referred and brought forth animated discussions, one being a request to the conference to devise a plan for increasing the funds of the society,and the other the much vexed subject of loans and donations to churches costing over $10,000. The afternoon session was taken up in considering the appointment of a com- mittee to meet just before the general con- ference for the purpose of making recom- mendations to that body on some minor matters which the present board has not found time to deal with. In theend no action was taken, and the various mo- tions made were ordered to be left out of the records. The future meetingsof the board will be held in Philadelphia, as was the custom until 1888. The morning session was called to order by Bishop Foss. Dr. McConnell proceeded to read the document prepared by a special committee as the report of the general committee to the general conference next year. The report .spoke of the failure of the conference to respond in full to the call for church collections as the most serious difficulty encountered in the work of the board. Contributions to maintain frontier church funds have given, the board some means of relief, but they do not supply the lack of a sermon preached each vear in every Methodist church in the country. The plan of asking a definite amount from each conference and in turn from each district and pastoral charge now caused by the church discipline, together with the injunction on pastors to diffuse information on the work of church exten- sionend to preach one sermon every year to endeavor to secure at least the amount as asked, would seem to be adequate. It would be adequate, the report stated, if the plan was faithfully carried out, but no means seemed to be provided to make them adequate. . Then came the paragraph that excited a larger discussion. It was as follows: “If the general conference can devise some means of securing the faithful application of the plan in all its particulars, we would not encounter the humiliating fact that our collections for this cause only amount to 48 cents on the dollarappropriation from the conference.” Dr. Neeley of Philadelphia protested against the clause as an implied reflection on the general committee and moved to strike it ont. Bishop Merrill suggested that it might be wise to lay the matter before the gen- eral conference and ask for some relief, Dr. Neeley added an amendment to his proposal that the general conference be asked to take such action as may tend to an increase in the collections for the con- ference. Dr. Neeley’s amendment was adopted by a vote of 22 to 11. The next paragraph asked the general conference to confine the granting of dona- tions to churches asking less than $10,000 and called forth a lively debate. Dr. Neeley moved that the paragraph be stricken out, declaring that a church could not be buiit in a great town for less than $10,000, and such churches often deserved as much help as the smaller ones. Bishop Ninde, Dr. Cheffer and Dr. James supported the amendment, although ad- mitting that this policy of helping costly churches had made the cause of church extension a very unpopular one. The committee on general matters re- ported in favor of holding future meetings of the general committee in Philadelphia. 'Dr. Neeley objected, but after a short dis- hour was spent in listening to various pro- posals for the holding of a meeting of the general committee at Cleveland next May on the day preceding the day of the gen- eral conference. It was decided to take no action on the subject, and the record- ing secretary was directed to omit all mention of the matter from the journal. This conciuded the business of the board. Special services will be held at the various churches here to-morrow, and ser- mons preached by the Bishops and other members of the board. PASTOR WILSON'S TESTIMONY. It Was Taken Hastily Before His De- parture for California. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 9.—The tes- timony of the Rev. J. A. B. Wilson, formerly pastor of the West One Hundred and Eighty-Eighth-Street Methodist Epis- copal Church, one of the witnesses for the prosecution against Jared Flagg, Jr., under indictment for renting flats for immoral purposes, was submitted in the form of a sworn deposition in the Court of General Sessions ay. Mr. Wilson recently resigned his pas- torate to go to, California and he was al- lowed to make'the deposition so that he would not have to remain here or return to city. As a number of police cases depend upon the result of the Flagg trial Re- corder Goff thought it best to take the testimony of Mr. Wilson in person. ity udaniay Trans-Mississippi Congress.

Arrest of a Private Detective on Com- plaint of the Ex-Reporter. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 9.—Henry Handsome, a private detective, was ar- rested to-night on complaint of Elizabeth Seaman, better known as Nelly Bly, a ex-reporter of the World, for shadowing her and watching her movements for the past three weeks. Handsome was arrested on Nelly Bly’s complaint in a drugstore on Thirty-fourth street and Broadway. ‘When taken to the tenderloin police station on West Thirtieth street Hand- some acknowledged having followed Nelly at the instigation of her husband. He said: “Enough has been found out by me to fully justify a close watch on Mrs. Sea- man.” Handsome at once sent word of his arrest to Nellie Bly’s husband at 17 West Thirty- fifth street, who immediately came around to the police station and bailed Handsome out. Mr. Seaman tried to belittle the mat- ter and reguested the reporters to say noth- ing about the arrest. Mrs. Seaman, or Nelly Bly, was the en- vied of envied women reporters who try to achieve notoriety by all kinds of sensa- tional methods, when about six or seven months ago she married Robert Seaman in Chicago. Mr. Seaman isa millionaire New York business man. He is now 74 years of age. Nelly is 35. Police Captain Picket sent an officer to Mrs. Seamans’ residence and asked her to come to the station and explain the ar- rest further. ARGUED BY MANDERSON Reasons Why the Claims for Sugar Bounties Should Be Paid. Secretary Carlisle Asked to Send the Matter to the Internal Revenue Commissioner. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov.9.—Under the agreement made yesterday with Secre- tary Carlisle, ex-Senator Manderson ap- peared before the Secretary this afternoon and argued the sugar-bounty case. Mr. Manderson submitted a printed brief cov- ering in detail the points to which he ze- ferred but briefly in his oral argument. Stripped of its legal verbiage Mr. Mander- son’s argument is that the law passed by Congress providing for the payment of the bounty is later than the Dockery law, imposing alleged superior powers on the Comptroller of the Treasury; thatit is a special act and more binding in its effect than laws granting authority general in character. He ignored the act of the Comptroller in sending the case to the Court of Claims on the ground that hav- ing no jurisdiction his act must, perforce, be illegal ard totally void. His second point, upon which he laid great stress, was the absence of authority vested in the Secretary to send the claim- ant to the Court of Claims. The funda- mental mistake in the whole proceeding was, Mr. Manderson argued, that instead of performing his whole dtuy, as required by the act of March 2, 1895, the Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue submitted the claims to the Auditor and Comptroller, whereas the law specifically provides that the bounty shall be paid by the Commis- sioner of Internal Revenue, with the approval of the Secretary of tne Treasury. The law further stipulates, and upon this Mr. Manderson dwelt with force, that the Secretary was authorized to draw his warrants for sums necessary, to pay the bounty, which sums should be certi- fied to him by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, by whom the bounty was to be disbursed. The Comptroller who thus got the case through the mis- take of the Commissioner of Internal Rev- enue was, Mr. Menderson said, “filled apparently with a desire to magnify his powers and amplify himself, declaring himself confronted with a great constitu- tional question.”” The case before the Secretary could not be sent to the Court of Claims, Mr. Man- dersonargued, because it was one upon which Congress itself had acted. In con- clusion Mr. Manderson said: “Mr. Secretary, you may do one of two things; you may send this matter to the Attorney-General, to say whether min- isterial officers may, under this manda- tory law, refuse to pay it, or you may send it back to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for a full and complete compli- ance on his part with the provisions of the law. We ask that you send it to the Com- missioner, the Comptroller having had no junsdiction,” Senator Manderson’s argument occiipied less than an hour. There were two inter- ruptions by the Secretary, both of which are considered as significant. The Secre- tary stated with clearness that he did not consider the case before him as presenting | any constitutional question whatever, and he did not propose to consider the consti- tutionality of the law. Later on Mr. Car- lisle said that while he was not deciding anything, he was inclined to agree with Mr. Manderson that sending the case to the court of claims would simply result in that court finding the facts, which had, ap- parently, been ascertained by the Com- missioner of Internal Revenue. The Sec- retary said that he did not expect to pass upon the questions presented before the meeting of Congress owing to the press of other business, much of his time being oc- cupied in the preparation of his annual report. —_—— COMMITTE.

DONE WITH A BIG RUSH. Only Two Minutes Remained for the Tigers to Gain the Victory. PLUNGE AFTER PLUNGE MADE. Only One Nose Broken in the Closest Football Contest of the Season. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 9.—Princeton defeated Cornell this afternoon in one of the closest football games that has been witnessed in some time. Contrary to all expectations, Princeton was amazingly weak considering the game she played against Harvard a week ago. For the greater part of the time Cornell kept the ball well down in Princeton’s ter- ritory, and it was not until within a few moments of the end of the last half that Princeton braced up and forced the ball toward Cornell’s goal line. The time was almost up, and it was a question of great uncertainty whether it was possible forthe Tigers to carry the ball the remaining dis- tance before the referee’s whistle should blow. Mr. Duflield announced that there were but two minutes of play when Princeton had the ball on Cornell’s 25-yard line. Then it was the Tigers put forth their ut- mos$ efforts. The Cornell supporters were already cheering as though the game were over with the score at zero, but at every place Princeton gained from four to eight yards. Bannard and Rosengarten were doing their very best. Plunge after plunge was made, and with the aid of the revoly- 1ng mass play the ball went down to within five yards of the line. Two more fierce as- saults and the struggling mass settled down directly over the line. The officials hurried up, and as the mass began to open up, Bannard was found holding the ball down just behind Cor- nell’s goal line. It was now Princeton’s turn to cheer, for they had just made a touchdown. Riggs sent the oval between the goal posts, making the score6 to 0, and the game was practically at an end. The gridiron was in excellent condition, and the weather all that could be well expecied. The football lovers turned out in large numbers and witnessed a match which was a great surprise even to the most critical supporters of the team. No one thought that after Cornell had been defeated by Harvard 25 to 0, and Princeton had in turn beaten Harvard 12 to 4, that there was any show oi the Cornell team putting up so close a game against the winning Tigers. Butthe comparative work of the two eleveus was no less surprising. Princeton’s defense had scarcely any resemblance to that exhibited against Harvard, although her aggressive work was in many respects better. On the other hand Cornell’s defense dur- ing the first of the game was much supe- rior to Princeton’s, but went to pieces as soon as the Tigers realized that winning meant hard and concerted work. At criti- caltimes the Tigers showed themselves capable of waking up and playing in Varsity form, The work and also the appearance of the men indicated over- training. There was an especial feature in the workof the men of both teams which deserves mention, This is the clean play of the teams, especially at the ends, forit is to them that the temptation to make foul tackles or engage in illegitimate interference most frequently comes. Cornell rooters were in full force, and their cheering and singing of “Fair Cor- nell” tended to enliven matters until the game was commenced. Even then Cornell had the best of it, for Princeton men were few and far between, and those of her fol- lowers who were present were not familiar enough with the college yells to make very much noise. In fact the playing was not such as to inspire them with the greatest enthusiasm. Glancing at the grand stand it seemed that most of Princeton’s admirers were of the gentler sex, for row after row of seats were conspicuous by the presence of pretty girls carrying the orange-colored chrys- anthemum as the flower of their choice. The stands commenced filling about 2 o'clock, and when the game commenced fully 3500 people were present. It was the first important game that had been played on Manhattan Field this. year and the attendance was very good considering the unprovpitious aspect of the weather during the morning. Gaily and Armstrong were injured to- day, the former having his nose broken, while the latter is suffering from an in- jury to one of his legs. One of the chief faults in the Tigers’ work was a general looseness and disin- clination to hard work. Cornell, on the other hand, exhibited nearly all the quali- ties of a winning team. The average ‘weight of her team was much lighter than that of her opponents, but this did not seem to be an unsurmountable obstacle in her path to success as it proves to so many teams. At quarter Suter did not do so well for Princeton as he did last Saturday, and his work was not equal to that of ‘Wickoff, who played the same position on the opposing team. Baird at fullback punted slightly better than Ritchie, but his general work was not nearly as good. For Cornell Ritchie put up the best all-around game, and with the support he received from the halibacks a fine working set of backs was the result. LS GAMES ON OTHEE FIELDS. Harvard Defeated the Mickigans by Four to Nothing. BOSTON, Mass., Nov.9.—Harvard played the University of Michigan at football this afternoon on Soldiers’ field, Cambridge, and won by a fcore of 4t00. A drizzling rain fell throughout the game, and the ground was wet and slippery. In spite of the weather the attendance was -about The Michigan players expected to score and_ had hopes of winning, on account of their excellent record this fall. Their team was heavier than Harvard’s, and they played a strong, fast game, but weak- ened in the second half. Harvard was strengthened at right guard by the return of Norton Shaw, who played a remarkable game. The two Shawsand Holt made a wned a hgndsome diamond pin, Th lflmnu Wil take chazge of his body. ; 4iny strong center trio, and kept the Michigan ¢ from makivg material gains, Capiomn i . 5 Brewer was not able to play, and his place was filied by Newell. The game was very slow, owing to injuries to the men and disputes as to rules. Harvard was heavily penalized for off-side play and holding, and the ball changed hands repeatedly for this reason. PROVIDENCE, R.IL., Nov. 9.—Brown played the game of her life against Yale to-day and not only scored but tied the game, 6t0 6. Itis the first time in foot- ball history that Brown has scored against Yale. Providence was not big enough for the celebration of the virtual victory. The game was played for blood and there was nota fluke in the whole fifty minutes. Time was called frequently because of the exhaustion of the men. Captain Thorne was slightly hurt after two minutes’ play. Brown’s men were desperate. They had everything to win and played accordingly. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 9.—Penn- sylvania beat State College this afternoon, 35 to 2, although State College scored a touchdown. The Pennsylvania’s game showed great improvement over their recent play and in teamwork especially their game was far better than any they have played this season. Pennsylvania scored 18 points in the first half and 17 in the second. ST.

NEW LONDON, Coxx., Nov. 9.—Captain Miner of the steamer City of Worcester, which vessel arrived at 4 o’clock this morn- ing, reported a steamer ashore on Great Gull island. This morning when she passed in, the fog was so dense that the captain could not make out whatthe vessel was, but was quite sure it was the Puritan of the Fall River line. At 9 o’clock this morning a boat from the Puritan, with eight of the crew, came in to get assistance to haul the vessel off and take the passengers ashore. The Puritan has 150 passengers aboard. She went on Great Gull Island at 3 o’clock, striking with terrific force, There was a panic at the time, but reasonable calm was restored when the passengers were assured that there was no dangerand that assistance would beat hand in & short time. Big Gull is ten miles away from New London, and assistance was at once sent from here. As soom as the Puritan’s boat arrived Captain Scott sent a tug and a barge to the Puritan to immediately take off her passengers, who will be brought here and forwarded to their destination. The passengers landed from the stranded steamer Puritan at 4:15 P. ». and immedi- ately left for Boston on a special train. The Puritan will be floated all right if the weather holds, but if a northwester comes her fate will be in doubt. Latest advices from the steamer Puritan are that the vessel has small chance of getting off for several days. Sheishard and fast on the rocks and it is said that bowlders project through her bottom pretty well forward. The Puritan is taking little water this evening and lies easy on the north side of Big Gull. Sheis two feet out of water for- ward, with four feet of water at the stern, the vessel lying east and west on shore, The passengers have only words of praise for the way they were treated while on the boat. A great deal of anxiety is felt for the Puritan, as it is believed that a change in the wind cannot be far off, as the fog now holds on dense as it has been the past three days.

Y., Nov. 9.—During the pastfew days there has been a great deal of political gossip in this city. Various gentlemen have endeavored to ascertain the exact status of Gov- ernor Morton with reference to the Republican Presidential nomination for next vear. A close friend of Governor Morton said that before Morton made his trip to Chattanooga last fall he bhad no idea of permitting the use of his name asa candidate for President, but on that trip he found everywhere that he was so popu- lar that he changed his mind. For once the interest in New Jersey is not asto the first place on the National ticket. It is only to see that Senator Hobart 13 named for second place. The ticket for which the Republicans of New Jersey are preparing to clamor next sum- mer reads like this: For President. Wil- liam B. Allison of Iowa; for Vice-Presi- dent, Garrett A.

Mayor Strong is reported as saying: “The heads of the departments have complained to me and convinced me that there were a great many Tammany men in the city’s employ who worked at the polls and elsewhere against the union ticket. These men will have to go. “When a man feels that he must work for Tammany rather than for the city it is time that he found work in a place other than in a city department. “We do not object to the fact that a man who holds office is a Tammany man, but we do object to his using his office to work for Tammany.”” There are still 5850 Tammany men on the rolis of the various departments, and many of them will doubtless be “hustling” before long. The Mayor has also joined in the move- ment to reduce the number of saloons in the city if any way can be found to do it. ‘I believe,” said he, “that the number of saloons n this city should be reduced one-half or at least to 4000. I believe now the number is 7300 or thereabout. While in Philadelphia about a fortnignt ago, I took the trouble to inquire how many saloons there are in that city. There are just 1354, With 1354 saloons enough for Philadelphia I do not see why 4000 should not be enough for New York. If the num- ber is reduced, I think it would benefit the city as a whole. The men who will remain in the business will acknowledge, I think, that the decrease is to their advantage. There are altogether too many saloons.” Preparations for the eleventh annual ex- hibition of the National Horse Show Asso- ciation at the Madison-square Garden, which will begin on Monday, are nearly completed. The success of the show in a financial way is already assured. By the sale of boxes more than §$40,000 was re- alized, and all of the seats outside the boxes for every night next week are sold. There remained only a few seats for day performances. Officials of the association have not been willing to publish the gross receipts of annual shows, but there is a re- port that in one year the grossreceipts exceeded $125,000. This year the receipts are likely to exceed that sum, as the de- mand for tickets has been extraordinary. President W. B. Curtis of the Amateur Athletic Union has issued a statement re- garding the financial condition of that body, which he desires the delegates to consider prior to the annual meeting, which will be held on November 18. He says the organization is in a bad condition and greatly needs money. The Amateur Athletic Union is to-day bankrupt. If ail the annual dues, now payable in advance for the ensuing season, should be collected, he would not have more than $650 or $700. After these dues are collected no more are payable until this time next year, and the current expenses of the as- sociation will amount to about $1775. The association has owed for two years, and still owes for medals earned in 1892, §422, and for individual medals earned in 1393, $300. These debts, past and future, are about $2300, which the treasurer will be called on to pay, and he has only $650 or $700 with which to pay. In summing up on this point the presi- dent submits the startling alternative that the A. A. U. must either dissolve or take immediate steps. At a meeting of the Manhattan Revolyer Club, held last night, a letter from J. G. Langton of the Revolver Association, called ‘“the Queen’s Own Rifles” of To- ronto, Canada, was received, in which he asked, if possible, during the coming win- ter, to arrange a match between a team from his club and one from the Manhattan Revolver Club. He states in the letter that their range is 25 and the match to be with 38-caliber revolver, with a 634-inch barrel. The president of the Manhattan Club, in his reply, informed Mr. Langton that as soon as the organization of the club had been perfected and the details as to targets, ammunition, etc., had been de- cided upon the club would be ‘glad to com- municate with them in reference to such a match as they suggested. The curtains on the second floor in the stately summer house of W. K. Vander- bilt, “Idle Hour,” at Oakdale, L. L, were thrown apart yesterday in the early morn- ing, and not long afterward the Duke and Duchess went out driving and took quite a spin about the country, The throng near “Idle Hour” doffed their hais to the Duchess, for they all know her by sight. A number of the country folk who know her called at the house yesterday and handed in their respects to be conveyed to the couple. The Duke’s man took them. Should to-day be fine it is likely that the young couple will take a spin on their bicycles, There was g story current yesterday that Mrs. Vanderbilt would visit Oakdale to- day, and another that Mr. Vanderbilt would call on Sunday. Mr.and Mrs: Van- derbilt might thus come together in the house, but it is not likely 'Jmt‘ they vgnu have & meeting, 3s Mz Vanderbilt can ride over to the South Side Club, where he is < member. Another story, which has gained much credence, is that the Duke and Duchess will remain at Idle Hour until November 16, when they will return to this city and sail on that day for Genoa, Italy. The presentation of the loving-cup to Joseph Jefferson took place yesterday afternoon at the Garden Theater, before a large crowd of people. Dan Frohman pre- sided and Frank Mayo made the speech of presentation. The cup itself is a very handsome affair. Jefferson made a speech of thanks. He was quite humorous and sometimes a trifle pathetic. The most vital thing he said was that of acastina certain play a number of years ago where there were some forty people. and of these only three remained alive to-day—Coul- dock, Stoddart and himseli—and he won- dered which would be the next cf the trio to pass over to the great majority. The whole affair went off very well and was a very great evidence of the esteem in which Mr. Jefferson is beld. SATOLLI'S Pope Leo Has Named Monsignor Lau- renzelli for the Office. NEW YORK, N.

VESSELS ON THE LAKES Builders Anxious to Abrogate the ¥ Agreement With Great Britain. An Interesting Movement Started by Mayors to Influence Action by Congress. DETROIT, Micx., Nov. 9.—Mayor Pin- gree has telegraphed to the Mayors of Chicago, Milwaukee, Buffalo, Cleveland and Duluth, cordially inviting them to join in a movement to influence Congress to abrogate the agreement between the United States and Great Britain which prevents the construction of naval vessels in the shipyards of the great lakes. Mayor Pingree thinks that the refusal of the authorities at Washington to contract with a Detroit shippuilding firm for the construction of two warships for which they were the lowest bidders because of the treaty of 1817, is a question of vital in- terest to all cities on the chain of the great lakes. He believes the treaty should be abro- gated because its provision prohibiting the building of warships on the great lakes is an injustice to the firms who have built the superb fleet of fresh-water mer- chantmen, and who are debarred from en- tering into legitimate competition with their competitors on the seaboard in the construction of vessels for the American navy. e Not a Cent for Fitz. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 9.—Philip J, Dwyer, the stakeholder of thz Corbett- Firzsimmons match, gave Corbett a eheck to-day for $2500, the forfeit of the Flofida Athletic Club. Joe Vendig said hefhad authorized Mr. Dwyer to pay the m#.ey, as the club believes Corbett did everythin in his power to help the club to hol the fight in Hot Springs. *‘Fitzsim- mons,”’ said Vendig, “will not receive one cent from the club. He did everything to break the match, and if he wants to make a fight over the matter we are prepared to meet him.” MR T L Yet Figuring on a Flgfi.:-_— -y EL PASO, Tex., Nov.9.—Dan Stuart, president of the Florida Athletic Club, arrived here to-day from Dallas. Stuart will go to Chihuahua to hold a conference with Governor Ahumada. If the Gov- ernor agrees, arrangements will be made to pull off the fight at Juarez. Toos ey Judge Thurmanw’s Condition.
