One resolution sa: “That some form of union closer and more tangible than any at present ex- isting between the reformed churches, holding the Presbyterian order, is de- sirable for the furtherance of the work intrusted to them by the head of the| churckes: that such closer union is pos- sible through the complete consolida- tion of some of these chuiches or through such federation as shall pre- serve the identity of the various bodies entering into it, and shail also provide tion.” It was resolved that the several com- mittees constituting the joint confer- ence report to the bodies appointing them the outcome of the meeting and secure further instructions as to which of the lines indicated should be pur- sued in future conferences. ————— FERRY PILOTS EXONERATED FOR BAY COLLISION sion Rendered That Mix-Up of the Oakland and Newark Was Not Avoidable. Captains Bolles and Bulger have ex- onerated from blame the pilots of the ferry-boats Oakland and Newark. In their decision the United States local inspectors says: “In the matter of the collision be- tween the ferry-boats Oakland and Newark in a dense fog on San Fran- cisco Bay about last, upon investigation thereof and testimony taken we find that both ves- sels on the above occasion were being navigated with caution, running slow and sounding proper fog signals, and of the two steamers to one another they did all in their power to avoid a collision. We are of the opin- ion, therefore, that neither of these pilots was negligent or unskillful. The damage to the steamers was slight.” g POy PN S Railroad Shops to Be Enlarged. SACRAMENTO, Dec. 10. — Improve- | ments to cost no less than $300,000 will be begun at an early date at the manu- facturing plant of the Southern Pa- cific Company 'at Sacramento.
