RAILWAYS MAY APPEAL RILING ON SECTION 22 OF THE TARIFF LAW NOT SATISFACTORY. C*e May Be Harried Into tlie Supreme Coart, Where McKenna's Opinion May Not Be Upheld.. ® Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—The railroads Interested In the enforcement of Section 22 of the new tariff law are understood to be planning a flank movement and compelling a judicial construction of the section regardless of the opinion of Attorney General McKenna. The attorney general's opinion is only advisory as to the customs officials, and does not necessarily control their actions. It Is within the power of any customs collector along the Canadian border to impose a 10 per cent, discriminating duty on imported articles brought into this country on Canadian railway line®, and in that way bring a test case cdrectly before the General Board of Appra/sers. From this board an appeal can be ta'ten to the courts and thus a construction oe placed on the law without the necessity of further congressional action. It is very generally believed that if the Supremo Court gets a whack at Section 22 it will reverse the opinion of the attorney general and uphold the validity of the law. SHERMAN TO SALISBURY. Britain’s Action on Sen-1 Conference Viewed with Surprise. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12—Secretary Sherman has written a reply to the note of Lord Salisbury, expressing Great Britain’s deccltnation to take part in a Bering sea conference In which Russia and Japan are to participate. The essential features of Mr. Sherman’s reply have been sent by cable to the British government, and the reply in full is now on its way to the British authorities. Lord Salisbury’s note of declination, it can now be stated, bore date of Oct. 6. last Wednesday, so that the response is made with promptness. The answer states that the United States government views with astonishment the determination of Great Britain not to participate in a conference including Russia and Japan, and the statement is made that up to the 23d of last month the United States authorities had fully expected that the conference would proceed with Russia and Japan, as well as Great Britain, present. It is pointed ou- iat, aside from the written correspondence, to which Lord Salisbury had called attention, there were verbal negotiations between Embassador Hay and his lordship, in which specific reference was made to the participation of Russia and Japan. At one of these verbal exchanges, it is stated, Lord Salisbury said he would advise with the officials of the Foreign Office concerning the subjects discussed, which included the participation of Russia and Japan. Subsequently, July 29, Embassador Hay wrote to Lord Salisbury, saying the President hoped to have Russia and Japan participate in the conference. In view of these circumstarces, the United States had confidently expected that Great Britain would take part in the conference, and that Russia and Japan would be represented, with the approval of Great Britain. Besides the foregoing reply, and in view of the differences which have arisen, the State Department suggests a conference in accord w*th the terms of Lord Salisbury’s agreement, as he construes it. namely, between experts of Great Britain, the United States and Canada. This last feature is row under consideration by the British government, its substance having been transmitted by cable, but it is not expected that an answer will be made until Mr. Sherman's answer in detail reaches London. In the meantime preparations for the conference between the United States, Russia and Japan are proceeding. The Japanese delegates, who are now en route from San Francisco, have decided to stop over for two days at Chicago, and will not reach Washington until next Sunday night. Two of the Russian delegates. Mr. Botkine and Mr. Routkowsky, are here, and the remaining delegate, Mr. Grebnitsky. is expected soon. While no exact date has been fixed for the conference, the expectation is that all the delegates will be here in time to bring them together on Wednesday, Oct. 20.

DLRRANT MI'RDGR CASE. Argument for Advancement on Docket of tlc Supreme Court. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Attorney General Fitzgerald, of California, to-day made a motion in the United States Supreme Court for the advancement of the Durrant case on the docket. After stating the facts of Durrant’s crime, of his sentence and confinement in prison anu his appeal to the federal courts, the motion presents the following reasons for a speedy hearing of the case: “The special and peculiar circumstances existing as reasons for the advancement of this case on the docket of this court are as follows: “First—That this is a case involving the prompt and orderly administration of the criminal laws ot the State of California. “Second—Tl'at the appellant has been convicted of murder In me first degree in one of the Superior Courts of the State of California, the judgment of conviction has been passed on and affirmed by the highest judicial tribunal of that State and this proceeding delays and thwarts the punishment of appellant in accordance with the judgment pronounced against him by the courts of said State. “Third—That by virtue of the provisions of Section 766 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, the appeal in this case prevents the prompt and orderly administration of the criminal laws of the State of California. "Fourth—That by reason of this proceeding and others of a like character now pending in this court, the enforcement of the criminal laws of the State of California is hampered and thwarted; and the laws of that State for the administration of justice and the punishment of crime are rendered largely nugatory and are brought into derision and contempt. “Fifth—That, therefore, a speedy determination of this case by this court is in the Interests of justice, law and order, and is a matter of the most importance to the people of the State of California.” The court took the motion under advisement. Illinois Inheritance Tax I.aw. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—A motion w r as made' In the United States Supreme Court to-day to advance cases involving the inheritance tax law of the State of Illinois. There are three of these cases, the county treasurer and col.ector of Cook county being the defendant in error in two of them and the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank appearing in that capacity in the other. Josephine C, Drake, Jessie Norton and Torrence Magoun are me plaintiffs in error. The motion to advance was presented by Robert S. lies, county attorney of Cook county, and Assistant Attorney Shepard. The motion, after setting forth the nature of the law which imposes a graduated inheritance tax. said that pendency of the litigation had prevented the State from collecting about $11,500,000.

The court took the matter under advioement. Topic® Discussed ly the Cabinet. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—The Cabinet meeting to-day was attended by all members except Secretary Wilson. After about an hour’s session Secretaries Sherman, Alger and Long left the White House and the others discussed with the President affairs in their respective departments. Foreign affairs were discussed briefly, nothing of great moment coming up. The escape of Senorita Cossio from the Spanish prison in Cuba was mentioned during a reference to Spanish affairs, but as there was nothing official in the State Department concerning the escape, the matter was not discussed seriously. Among e papers which Secretary Bliss brought to the White House was a report from Sheldon Jackson, who is on the revenue cutter Bear and has been investigating conditions in Alaska. His report related largely to securing Alaska reindeer, which he wrote would serve the natives with both food and transportation. Ho recommended that a herd be located as near St. Michael’s as possible. New Indiana Postmaster®.

ABDUCTED GIRL FOUND. Kidnaped from Her Home Near Pari® and Brought to the United State®. NEW YORK, Oct. 12. Acting Captain McCluskey, of the deteetive bureau, has discovered the habitat of Louise Ripp, sixteen years old, who was abducted from her home in Corbeil, near Paris, in March last. The girl went to Paris to the Mardi Gras festival. She xvas accosted by a man known to the police here as "Eduard” and told that her uncle wanted to see her in a case. When she got to the case, it is alleged, Henri Pailluseau, who is known as "Scar-on-the-neck,” was introduced~-as a friend of her uncle and sent to tell her that her uncle would be delayed for half an hour. Then these men drugged Louise and conveyed her $0 England. With the aid of a female confederate they got her on board a steamer at Southampton and as the daughter of Pailluseau and his alleged wife were landed in this city. Louise fell ill while here and was sent to Saratoga to recuperate. "Eduard” then made her go to Chicago with him, where he took her to the house of Lena Pemerville, who was formerly in New York. Having traced her to Chicago, Captain McCluskey communicated with the chief of police, and on Saturday the detectives found the ’girl. M. Brouwaert has communicated with Acting Consul Vielhomme, of Chicago, telling him to take charge of the girl. “Eduard’' is under surveillance and the French consul general will ask the United States authorities to help in the matter, but nothing will be done until M. Vielhomme is heard from. Paillusseau is now under arrest in Havre, charged with complicity in the robbery of diamond jewelry, the property of Miss Susan De Forrest Day, of this city, owner of the steam yacht Scythian. ALL FOR FUN. Two Locomotive® Crash Together Before About 20,000 People. MACON, Ga., Oct. 12.—The trades parade to-day was a magnificent display of enterprise on the part of the commercial and manufacturing industries of this city. A hundred floats in line were headed by the Governor, mayor and Council and the United States Marine Band. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon about twenty thousand people assembled at Central Park to witness the collision of two locomotives, which ended the day’s display. The track was a mile in length through the race track enclosure. A locomotive at either end steamed to the utmost limit, was held in readiness by an engineer. At the drop of a Hag. the throttles opened, the locomotives dashed forward and the engineers leaped to the ground. There was a breathless silence, then the massive machines collided, and splintered fragments of woolwork, broken bars and escaping steam and water filled the air.

FOREIGN MISSION WORK REPORTS SUBMITTED TO AMERICAN BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS. ♦ Expense® Were Heavy Last Year, and $130,000 Additional I® Needed for tlie Ensuing Twelve Month®. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Oct. 12.—The eightyseventh annual meeting of the American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions opened at 3 o’clock this afternoon in the Hyperion Theater for a session which will continue through Friday. After devotional exercises an address of welcome was delivered by Prof. George P. Fisher, D. D., of Yale University. The report of the prudential committee was read by the secretary of the home department, Rev. Dr. C. H. Daniels, of Boston. It was in part as follows: “More new missionaries have been sent to the field this year than last. Four men—one a phy-sician-five wives of missionaries, one unmarried man ard twelve single women, two of whom are physicians—twenty-two in all—represent the additions to our missionary force since the annual meetings. Rev. Dr. Charles C. Creegan, district secretary. of New York city, ma.kes the following report from the Middle district (including Connecticut, Ohio and the Middle and South Atlantic States): ‘The Indian famine relief fund which has been raised by the Christian Herald, amounting to nearly $200,000, has called for frequent conferences, and thousands of dollars for this object have Deen forwarded through this office. Perhaps half a million dollars for the Armenian relief work and the Indian famine fund have been raised, most of it within this district. During the last two months twenty-eight missionaries, nine of them going out for the first time, have sailed from this port. The total receipts from the middle district were $156,253. The present year shows receipts above the average for the last decade.’ “Nothing can be more satisfactory than the continued happy relations with the American Bible Society and. tlie American Tract Society, both of New York. The Bible Society expended last year through its agencies in Mexico, China, Japan and the Levant considerably more than SIOO,OOO. To other missions of the board where the society has no agency of its own, funds and books have been sent during_the past year of the aggregate value of $5,354. The returns to us resulting from sales were sl,644.61. More churches contributed to the work last year than in any year in the history of the board. There were 2,046 Congregational churches which made no offerings to foreign missions last year. There have contributed to this work 1,544 Christian Endeavor Societies, as against 1,223 ln.st year. “The regular donations from the churches and individuals were $416,591.15. The receipts from legacies were $118,986.17. The treasury received from the permanent funds of the board an income of $10,243.69. We have taken from the Otis legacy $37,612.46. and from the Swett legacy $3,498.63. These legacies are now exhausted. Four missions have been established and two others enlarged; not far from seventy-live missionaries have been sent forth to the heathen nations, schools have been founded for * ie promulgation of the truth and weak pia .*s have been strengthened by these magiafleent benefactions. Special donations have amounted to $54,517.0*3, an increase over the former year of $10,527.91. This largely increased sum for special objects is due entirely to the appeal in the Congregationalist for the orphans of Turkey, netting about $25,000. With total receipts for the year $643,283.70, and with the total expenditures for the year $655,414.20. the obligations resting against the board on Aug. 31 were $45,130.50. The salaries of our missionaries have been reduced 10 per cent., except in Asiatic Turkey.”

The concluding paragraph of the report says: “We must have for the ensuing year $130,000 more than was at the disposal of the committee last year. With this sum of money no new work can be begun and no new missionaries can be appointed beyond the imperative calls for filling vacancies.’’ The treasurer's report was read by Treasurer Frank H. Wiggins, of Boston, who reported the total expenditures at $688,414, Including the following: Zulu mission, *25,539; mission to European Turkey, $35,723; mission to western Turkey, $110,715; mission to eastern Turkey, $47,446; Marathi mission, $54,470; north China missions, $56,378; Madura mission, $53,197; . Foo-Chow mission, $25,235; mission to Japan, $71,531; Micronesia mission, $38,734; cost of agencies, $15,378; cost of publications, $9,969; cost of administration, $26,766. The receipts were $642,781 —from donations, $471,108; legacies, $118,986. Balance at credit of the board Aug. 31, 1896, $502; balance for which the board is in debt Aug. 31, 1897, $45,130. The annual suryeys of the foreign department were offered by Secretary Rev. Judson Smith, D. D., of Boston, and Rev. James L. Barton, D. D., of Boston. Secretary Smith’s report covered the following missions: Western Turkey. Central Turkey, Foo-Chow, North China, Shanghai, and South China, Zulu, Western Central African, East Central African, Mlcronesian Mission and Hawaiian islands. In these fields 289 missionaries are stationed, of which ten have gone out this year for tho first time. Speaking of the work in general his report said that in 1,127 centers women, assisted by a force of 2,956 native preachers, teachers and other helpers are preaching the gospel in twenty-seven different languages, and directing a great evangelical, educational, and medical enterprise. In 470 churches there is gathered a total membership of 44,606, of whom 3.919 have made confession of their faith in this year. In seventeen theological schools, 179 students are in direct preparation for the work of the ministry. In 118 colleges and high schools 6.991 picked youths of both sexes are in training, under the most favorable conditions, for a share in the work, and 43,221 pupils are under Christian instruction in 1,049 common schools. The medical work, invaluable in its direct and indirect influence and constantly enlarging, reaches more than 200,000 while a steadily increasing volume of Christian literature broadens the sphere of influence and enhances the power of the gospel. Secretary J. L. Barton covered the work of the American board in the two Indian missions and Ceylon, Japan. Eastern Turkey, European Turkey, Austria, Spain and Mexico. The greatest need to-day, he said, was an effeetient, able Christian leadership among the natives themselves. He commended the Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor for its rapid progress in Mexico and Spain, the Young Men’s Christian Association for its work in Austria. Spain, he said, had been a hard field in which to work during the past year owing to political excitement and suspicions and the terrible strain which rested upon the people. India was losing confidence in her idols, in her priesthood and in her worship. It appeared as if a wave of unbelief was sweeping over her 287,000.0000 and that when they had let go that which so manifestly fails to meet the natural longing of the heart they would turn to the Christian faith. “The educated Hindus have,” he said, "recently turned to their ancient books to find that with which to thwart the work of missionaries and Hinduism has experienced a revival in the study of her own religion. This very movement is helping to undermine the faith of the Hindus and to show them that their own religion is doomed to decline, and that the gospel of Christ must stand at last as the universal faith. The religions of Japan have no deep hold upon the hearts of her people. They no longer worship anywhere, but withhold their support of the temples and disclaim belief In any religion, relegating all to the realm of philosophy. Ethics is the basis of their religion, and is regarded by them more important than worship. It is. however, an ethics whose basis is not the morality of Christianity.” The entire afternoon session was taken up by these addresses and reports, and by the appointment of committees. for work during the convention. Among the arrivals to-day was that of David J Brewer, of Washington. D. C., associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, who is prominently mentioned for the presidency of the society for the coming year. Eqnnl Repredentatlon Favored. CHICAGO, Oct. 12.—Resolutions favoring equal representation of laymen and preachers in conferences were adopted at to-day's session of the annual Rock River Conference of the Methodist Church. Rev. I’. H. Swift, secretary of the committee of five appointed yesterday to report on lay representation. to-day recommended the adoption of the proposition for a constitutional change in the rules of discipline granting equal representation in names of preachers and laymen at the Methodist General Conference which is held every four years. The proposition was passed by a unanimous vote. In addition a resolution was passed favoring the laity tn regard to the Rock River Conference. The committee which considered the matter and made the report was composed of Dr. Luke Hitchcock, P. H. Swift, Franklin Bristol, W. H. Holmes® and C. E. Mandeville. ~

MANY LAWLESS PEOPLE CONGREGATED AT THE MOUTH OF THE YUKON RIVER IN ALASKA. Rev. Slicldon .Jackson’* Acconnt of the Situation at St. Michael’s—Heavy Snow a Month Ago. WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Sheldon Jackson, United States general agent of education for Alaska, writing from St. Michael’s under date of Sept. 13, has sent a report to the Interior Department regarding the gold boom. He says: "I am still detained at this place waiting on the movements of the revenue cutter Bear. Since reaching here, Aug. 24, several expeditions of miners have arrived on steamers and sailing vessels from Puget sound, Seattle and San Francisco. They bring with them lumber and mechanics, expecting at this point to build small river steamers and barges in which to proceed up the Yukon to the mines. There are eight or ten of these vessels now in the harbor and thirteen more are expected from the south. “The season is now closed for getting up the river this year. The most that miners now here can d6 will be to get perhaps a hundred miles up the river to timber, then %o into winter quarters, erecting log huts for shelter. Those who come up later will be compelled to W’inter at this place. As all these people were pledged to be taken to the mines this fall you can imagine that there is not only much disappointment, but also much irritation l and anger that is liable at any moment to break out into open violence. Among the hundreds now camped on the beach in tents are ali classes, trom the best to the lowest, professional men of ability and standing, gamblers and desperate roughs, the wealthy and the poor, and the presence of the Bear is the oniy restraint on lawlessness. We are hourly expecting the arrival of another cutter, and w'hen she comes the Bear will at once sail for Reindeer Station, Siberia, and St. Lawrence island. Some of the tents have been flooded for three days past and all are uncomfortable. It has been snowing for two days, and the whole landscape is white.” KLONDIKE GOLD FIELD. Views of n. Mining Expert Who Hat Returned from the Diggings. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.—Henry Bratnober, the mining expert who is known throughout the United States from his connection with the Exploration Company of London, has returned from the Klondike. His mission was to ascertain if an opportunity presented itself for investment. He says: “I found some very good placer mines, but not as sensational in their richness as has been reported. In many cases the claims aro comparatively poor, although almost any of them will pay wages. Because one claim is very rich is no reason why an adjoining one should be equally good. On the contrary the near neighbor of a rich cia'in is generally not worth much. There are few summer diggings in the Klondike—that is, those which can be worked by the' ordinary sluicing process. Most of the bed rock is eighteen or twenty feet below' the surface and the earth is frozen solid except the eighteen inches or two feet which thaws in the summer. On the whole, the Klondike may be classed as very good diggings and I should say there is a good chance for other discoveries this fall. As to quartz mining. I consider it impossible at the present time owing to difficulties to be overcome. I do not think there is much danger of starvation at Dawson.” C. W. Matthews, ex-sheriff of Ashland. Wis., has returned from a trip to the Klondike, made for the purpose of ascertaining whether sheep and cattle could be shipped to the mining districts of Alaska and the Northwest Territory at a profit, and he is now' on his way East to perfect arrangements for sending a flock of 2,090 sheep to Dawson in the early’ spring. Matthews is associated in the undertaking with John Rea, of the firm of Rea Brothers, of Chicago, shippers of stock. ROUT AT CHATTANOOGA. Republican* Radiy Defeated In the Mnnicfpu! Election. CHATTANOOGA. Tenn., Oct. 12. The municipal election to-day resulted in the overwhelming defeat of the Republican ticket. Col. Ed Watkins, Democrat, was elected by 905 majority. Colonel Watkins is a leading lawyer and promoter, and, the canvas being personal, attests his popularity 1 among the people. The Democrats elected j six out of eight aldermen. This city is \ normally Republican by from 400 to 500. anti the overwhelming reversal of the conditions is due to the apathy of the Republican voters and the disaffection of the negroes. There was a very light vote, only 3,500 being j cast.

CINCINNATI, 0., Oct. 12.—A plan of permanent union of two patriotic societies, so nearly similar in name and purpose was agreed on to-day. They are the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and the General Society of the Sons of the Revolution.

Membership is to be limited strictly to lineal descendants of soldiers of the American revolution. The constitution adopted and the plan of union are to be submitted to the several state societies of both organizations by a committee of five from each national organization for approval.
