The Rock Island and ti.e St. Paul are the latest to give such notice, When the restoration of transconti- nental freight rates to the basis in effect three years ago was indefinitely postponed by the executive committee recently the understanding amons the officials was that the advance would be made January 1, the Southern Pacific objecting because it was nrot ready.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 15.—The House Commerce Committee reconsidered and by a majority vote aaopted a resolu- tion asking the House to return to the committee a bill reported by it several weeks ago repealing the penalty clause of | the interstate commerce law and substi- tuting a fine of $15,000 for each violation thereof. It was contended that this pro- vision was not necessary in view of the | recent decision of Justice Brown, that per- sons engaged in yiolations of the law may testify as to such violations without sub- jecting themselves to prosecution. The adoption of the rasolution recalling the | bill to the committee was strongly urged | by Hepburn of Iowa, Patterson of Ten- | nessee, Corliss of Michizan and Aldrich of | !Iililnois, and was adepted by a majority | of 1. VOTING FOR NEW BISHOPS, Lively Struggle Before the Gen- eral Conterence of the Methodists. One of the Colored Candidates Receives a Surprising Support and May Be Elected. CLEVELAND, Osto, May 15.—Bishop Fitzgerald, president of the Epworth League, presided at the session of tue Methodist Conference to-c Fraternal | greetings were ordered sent from the Gen- | eral Conference to the conference of the Methodist Protestant church at Kansas City to-day. The special order of the day, | tbe election of Bishops, was then taken | up. On the first baliot J. W. Hamilton { received 107, Earl Cranston 115; necessary to choice 348. The vote was received with | great applause. Another ballot was taken | | and J. B, Crow moved to adjourn to 3 p. M. | 10 receive the report of the tellers. In the midst of much confusion Dr. Buckley inti- mated that the tellers could not keep the ballot to themselves, and moved to amend by making 2:30 . M. the hour of meeting | instead of 3 P. M. i Dr. Leonard said it was disgraceful to | say that the tellers could not be trusted wo do their duty. The conference must place confidence in them. It was decided that | the conference must place confidence m | them and that the conferenze meet at 2:3) | 7. M. to receive the result of the last ballot. | An interesting thing in connection | with the first baliot was the extraordinary | | lead obtained by the colored candidate, | | Dr. Bowen. It is an undisputed fact that the reduction of the number of Bishops *0 be elected, from three to two, was in- tended to shut out a colored candidate, but it seemed as though the conference had awakened to the fact and was determined | to give the brainy African a fair field and favor. The vote was certainly a surprise | to those who do not wish a colored Bishop. The second ballot swept Chaplain Me- | Cabe to the head of the field and added 23 to Dr. Bowen's figures, thus making the | probabilities appear to be McCabe and Bowen. The votes were: C. C. McCabe 218, J. W. E. Bowen 175, Earl Cranston 164, J. W. Hamilton 145, H. A. Bultz 96, T. B. Neely 45, J. 8. Day 27, J, F. Goucher 26, C. W. Smith 24, 8. F. Upham 19. There being no election a third ballot was taken, and the tellers instructed to report after the reading of the journal to- morrow morning. The conference then adjourned.

Crittenden United States Con- sul-General at the City of Mexico, reports 1o the State Department that an amend- ment to the Mexican constitution has been adopted prohibiting any inter- state tax on commerce. The law will take effect July 1. Mr. Crittenden says this tax has been in existence for many years and has been a source of much embarrass- ment to internal and external trade. Its repeal, he adds, meets with general ap- proval, although some of the States will be compe!led to seek other articles of tax- ation to replace the money heretofore ob- tained by this interstate tax. e 1t Is Simply a Tranafer.

Cleveland Appointees Seek to Have Silver Ignored in the State Platform. LOS ANGELES, Cav., May 15.—TrE CaLi’s announcement that Christopher Buckley is making in this city one of those combinations for which he is noted and which have given him = record for *politi- | cal sagacity’ is contirmed by local Demo- i crats. The blind boss is laying the wires to offset by outside votes the strength the | opposition to his rule has in San Fran- cisco. He is fightine the battle of his life. Recognizing the fact that Los Angeles County would cast a large vote in the Democratic State Convention, he came south just prior to the meeting of the Democratic County Central Committee. This committee was called to decide upon the method by which delegates should be elected to the County Convention, which will elect delegates-at-large to Chicago. When Mr. Buckley dropped into the city local Democrats sought the chief. Thereafter the edict went forth that ward | primaries were to be held throughout the city. Against this serious objections have been made. Judge A. M. Stephens, chairman of the committee, has taken a pronounced stand in favor of precinct primaries. There are forty-eight precincts in the city, and it will be a hard matter for any clique or erew—Buckley or Federal officials—to bandle them, according to the statements made by those who are not in the Buckley combine. Buckley is trying to make a combination with the local Faderal officials, who are appointees of President Cleveland, where- by the financial plank of the platform of the coming State Convention would be in- volved to the extent that it would be made non-committal as to silver. Working with him are Martin C. Marsh, Thomas McCaf- fery, Thomas Rowan, W. H. Workman and a few other Democrats. The secretary of the committee, Adolph Ramish, will to-morrow tender his resig- nation. He feeis that he can no longer ally himself with the men who are con- trolling the party in this section of the State.

VERY ELOQUENT TRIBUTE Paid to the Missionary Marquette in St. Ignatius College Hall. | Immense Audience Enjoys a Literary and -Musical Entertain- ment. | Bt. Ignatius College ball was crowded last night and that means that at least 2000 p ersons were gathered under its roof | to enjoy the musical and literary enter- | tainment given by the gentlemen’s sodasl- | ity of Bt.

The ouly object the council of the sodality had in view in giving the enter- tainment was to furnish an opportunity to | members of becoming better acquainted with each other and of drawing closer the bonds of unity and friendship existing | among them. And yet the council had a | higner motive in view, 8 more important interest io serve. 1ts principal object was to attract to the sodality those gentlemen | who would not have been aware of its ex- | istence but for these entertainments. He made an appe: for new members, whom he assured of a sincere weicome. ““Among the many organizations estab- lished by the Catholic church for the co- [ ion of the laity in the great work of Cll’a° tian progress,’” he said, “‘none, per- aps, has displayed more activity or attracted a larger number of Catholics to membership than has the sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary. For, travel where you may, pass from contineat to continent, and wherever the sons of St. Ignatius ha found s foothold, there also you will find a branch of this society; either under the spiritual direction of some active, zealous and energetic member of his order, or of some pious priest, who is scquainted withythe priceless spiritual benefits that are obtained by those who are enrolled in this association. It isour extraordinary privilege as members of this sodality to be placed under the guidance of these incom- parable leaders, to have continually before their scanty resources, and aniform suc- cess is a record which no denomination ri- vals and which all ndmlrg." E Z Passing in review the Catholic mission- ary work of centuries in Europe, India, South America, etc., the speaker came down to the present. He quoted as anillus- tration the illustrious leper priest of Molo- kai, Kather Damien, who, Robert Louis Stevenson said, ‘‘shut to with his own hands the doors of his own sepulcher.” The work and sacrifice of the learned pre- late, Lavigerie, among the Africans was mentioned in glowing words, He saia that the theater of the best missionary exertions of the churc! was the territory now covered by the United States. The well-known history of €atholic mission- aries in America was told briefly, and he had this to say of Father Marquette: “The founder of the missions among the Illinois was James Marquette. No mis- sionary equaled Marquette in influence over the Indians. None had their love and reverence as fully as he. The entire tribe gathered on the beach at his de- parture and begeed bim to promise to re- turn. It was while searching jor these abandoned children of the wilderness that Marquette discovered and explored “Monuments rescue and preserve only names and deeds that might die. There are names and deeds in the annals of men that outlive perishable marble. Deeds that need monuments are not worthy of them. Nations that forget their heroes will breed few of them. As long asthe genius of liberty lingers about our land so long can the memory of Marquette forego a monument. “‘Hostile forever to the poisonous roots of bigotry is the soil that holds the | treasured dust of James Marquette, the good sweet angel of the Illinois. The only answer to his golden deeds from the land he favored was a_lonely grave beside the wailing waters of Lake Michigan.” BARRIS' FATAL WOUNDS A Mpysterious Casualty at the Rossmore House on Stock- ton Street.

The | MISS CHOY A FRESNO CAPTIVE, Big Jim Obtains Possession of the Slant-Eyed Maiden. A ROMANCE IN CHINESE. | Detective Stilwell's Strategy Outwits San Francisco Mongols. PROUDLY ESCORTS HIS PRIZE. The Lemon.Colored Beauty Rescued From a Husband She Does Not Love. FRESNO, Can., May 15.—Tie Choy, a Chinese maiden of 16 summers, was brought to this city from San Francisco this evening by Detective C.J. Stilwell and placed in the custody of Deputy Con- stable Crutcher, who has a warrant for ber arrest on a charge of grand larceny. Two weeks ago Miss Choy ran away from San Fraucisco with friends from Fresno and came here, placing herself under the care of Big Jim, one of the most prominent merchants in Chinatown. But Detective Cody of San ¥rancisco descended upon tire Chinese quarter and, armed with & warrant charging the slant-eyed damsel with stealing a gold bracelet from an al- leged husband in the Bay City, searched until be found the prize. He took her back to the home which she had left. Big Jim enlisted the services of Attorney Mark Walser and Officer Crutcher, and they went to San Francisco to make Big | Jim’s fight for the possession of the girl. Big Jim went before a Justice of the Peace and swore to a complaint charging her with grand larceny, in order that Crutcher might bring her back to Fresno by process | of law. InBan Francisco Walser succeeded in having the case dismissed, but Choy was rearrested. Habeas corpus proceed- ings were instituted, and during the con- tinuance of these by the court Walser and Crutcher came home. Meantime the court took up the case and ordered Miss Choy released. De- tective Stilw ell procurea a telephonic warrant from this city, and under its au- thority brought the Chinese girl back to Fresno. Miss Chov says that she was not treated right at San Francisco. She prefers Fresno society. The young lady is con- sidered very handsome by local Chinese, and Big Jim is willing to do anything in her behalf. The case is but another of the numerous conteg}s in which Fresno Chinese have been interested for the pos- session of lemon-complexioned beauties. SIGHTED NEAEK COUKS INLET.

Mayor H. H. Clark, Lieutenant A. A. Morey of the Naval Reserves, District At- | torney Carl Lindsay and John R. Chace, proprietor of the Sea Beach Hotel, went aboard. They were well received by Mr. Scott and Captain Goodall, who said that though the sea was rough and an extra- ordinarily heavy gale blew after passing Point Conception, the new battle-ship did its work with perfect smoothness from Santa Barbara to Santa Cruz. “To the ear | of an expert,” said Mr. Scott, “sound was | everything, and there was not the slight- est jar in the machinery, The ship was originators of the McKinley boom in Cali- fornia, and quoted from Emory A. Storrs of Chicago, when he said: *The man who arrogates to himself such credit had better before he does it be out in the open ocean in a boat of stone, with iron oars and sails of lead, with the wrath of God for his wind and hell his nearest port.” Chairman Arthur called on Hervey Lindley for a speech. The district dele- gate to St. Louis pointed out the advan- tages of concerted action and indicated the sure way to success on the part of the Southern delegation. The speaker maintained that the united front presented at Sacramento some ten days ago for the time being, at least, trans- ferred the State Republican shrine to the section south of the Tehachapi, and that hereafter Los Angeles, and not San Fran- cisco, would be the Republican Mecca in California. Others who spoke were John C. Lynch, Iately nominated as the Republican candi- date for Lieuten ant-Governor, Judge W. A. Cheney, Frank P. Flint, Mavor Cox and Senator Simpson of Pasadena, Walter Trask and Colonel Glaze, Mayor Rader, H. Z. Os orne, Walter F. Parker, John C. Cline, Judge Holton, R. F. Ling and J. H. | Kiefer.
