HONOR FOR M. E. INGALLS

1IU M BC ELECTED PRESIDENT OP SOUTIICIIN PACIFIC RAILWAY. Yandcrbllta Said to lie Scheming to "Weave All Itallroads Into One System with One Head. The New York Mall and Express, which is generally believed to have accurate in formation concerning Vanderbilt plans, contained the following yesterday: "It was gald In Wall street to-day that the presidency of the Southern Pacific Railway would be offered to M. E. Ingalls, of the Big Four road, who Is a Vanderbilt ally. No one could be found who would positively conlirm or deny the Ingalls rumor, but it was declared with some show of au thority that neither 11. E. Huntington nor Mr. Tweed would succeed the late C. P. Huntington. These two, however, arc provided for in the latest dea.1 reported. Each is to retain. his present position Mr. Hunt ington as first vice president and active manager in the West, and Mr. Tweed as second vice president and confidential attorney in this city. The selection of Mr. Ingalls would be another move in line with the alleged Vanderbilt plan to weave all the railroads of America into one vast sys tem, under a single head. The interests that are bringing the name of Mr. Ingalls to the front control a majority of the stock. and could have dethroned C. P. Huntington at any time within the last few years. They, however, believed he had earned the position he held, and declined to humiliate him. But he insisted on putting all the profits into Improvements, and those who did not. like him, have an abundance of other stocks that were dividend producing. were nettled at this absence of income from their Investments in the stock of the road. whose value became purely speculative. Now, it is said, new blood is to be Infused into the management through Mr. Ingalls." A reporter for the Associated Press ques tioned C. H. Tweed, who was Mr. Huntington's confidential adviser, as to the various stories concerning the Southern Pacific's presidency. "The directors will not meet until next week," said Mr. Tweed, "and, while several names have been informally mentioned, I think I am safe in saying no one has been decided on definitely." Death of President "Washburn. Edward S. Washburn, president of the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis Rail way, died yesterday at Rye Beach, Me., where he had gone for his health. The news reached Kansas City in a telegram from Mrs. Washburn to T. S. Fulton, assistant to the president. It gave no details. Mr. Washburn left Kansas City May 26 last to attend the funeral of a sister in uoston. Jie returned to Kansas City during the latter part of June, but was not feeling well and seldom went to his office. He left for the East again on July 1 for Rye Beach. On his way to the summer re sort he suffered a stroke of paralysis. Another stroke followed a few weeks later at Rye Beach, and since then Mr. Washburn had been failing gradually. During the first part of this month the directors of the Memphis road, at their annual meeting in Boston, elected Nathaniel Thayer, of that city, vice president of tne road, and he immediately assumed the active management of the road, pending Mr. Washburn's recovery. The vice pres idency had been vacant since Mr. Wash burn's election to the presidency. E. S. Washburn was born in Boston in IIe became president of the Memphis Ivettleton. who had died the previous Xettleton. who had died the previous March. Mr. Washburn was one of the bestknown railroad . men In the country. He had worked up to the presidency from a clerkship. Plana of the Sew York Central. The construction of & fleet of large ocean steamers for carrying: both' f reicht and oasrs" by.?e ew Y?rk c.rnl Ka,lroal has been under discussion of late. This improvement has been projected In connec tion with the improvements of the terminal at Weehawken and the expenditure of be tween $3,000.000 and $1,000,000 in enlarging the yards there, building new piers and tracks and a general Increase of freight capacity. . Some time ago the New York Central ' Increased its capital stock by Jla.ooo.ow, and this money was spent in buying new rolling stock. It has just been stated by a prominent railroad official that even this enormous expenditure for equip ment had been msumcient, and that an other $15,000,000 would now have to be added to it for engines. The road has not enough cars and engines to handle the enormous traffic offered. The decision to expend between $3,000.000 and $4.000,000 on the Weehawken terminal is only one item of the extraordinary expenditures. Other millions have been spent in bridges, structural steel. Improved grades and tracks and stations. It is the increase in traffic capacity and the decision to reconstruct the Weehawken terminal that has suggested the building of a line of steamers for Int?roceanIc freight and passenger traffic. The increasing de mand for American coal in European mar kets, it is believed, may hwe some bearing on tne project. Britain Safety Appliance Law. Information has been received by the In terstate-commerce Commission that on July 30 of the present year the British act for the better prevention of accidents on rail ways received the assent of the Queen and became a law. The Board of Trade. one of the departments of the general gov ernment. Is invested with extensive power. and Is -charged with carrying, out the pro visions of the safety-appliance law. More authority is given the Board of Trade in this respect than the United States statute gives the Interstate-commerce Commission, and in many respects the English law is considered much more drastic than ours. If, after a reasonable time, the railway companies of Great Britain fall to obviate the dangers by use of safety appliances the board will make rules requiring the use of plants or appliances as It may con sider best calculated to reduce the danger to persons employed, or the disuse of any plant or appliances shown to Involve danger. Penalties are provided for noncom pliance with any rules prescribed by the board. Tne ratio of lives lost to the num ber of men employed in coupling and un coupling cars in England is not less than 1 to C00. This percentage, as shown by the reports of the Interstate-commerce Commission. Is as great as existed in this coun try In lS9o, where at present the ratio has been reduced to one man killed out of 600 engaged in coupling and uncoupling cars. It Is believed the action of the United States government in the matter of safety appliances has been largely instrumental In bringing about the enactment of the British law. Personal.

General Superintendent E. F. Russell, of the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western, reSigned, and Thomas E. Clark, superintend ent of the Scranton division of the road. has been appointed to succeed him. Commencing with to-day, Train 2, over the Pennsylvania lines, leaving Indianapolis at 7:10 p. m. will haul a through mail car. The service will require two new men between Indianapolis and Pittsburg. The better coal rates are swelling the earnings of such roads as the Chesapeake & Ohio, the Norfolk & Western, the Hocking Valley, the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton and Pennsylvania lines materially H. J. Rose, passenger engineer on the Pennsylvania lines west, has obtained a two months' leave of absence, and will spend the tl:ne visiting relatives In the State of Washington. Mr. Rose Is one of the vettrans in service on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago. D. I. Roberts, general passenger agent of the Erie lines, and other passenger men of the system are elated over the fact that the passenger earnings of the Erie for the year ending June CO showed an increase of $640,000 over the previous year and an increase of $S54,000 over the year ending June SO. 1SQS.

The lower story will be occupied as a passenger station, the second story by offices, and, when completed, the trainmaster of the Cleveland division and the train dispatcher's offices will be removed from Cleveland to Gallon. Every year there Is considerable rivalry among the railroads for the honor of carrying the first bale of the new cotton crop. This year the honor falls to the Lackawanna, whose fast freight line received the first bale of the new crop shipped from Memphis. Tenn., and consigned to B. B. Harvey & Co., of Boston. Col. William Shaw, district passenger agent of the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy, and H. C. Stevenson, passenger agent of the Baltimore & Onlo Southwestern, were In the city yesterday. Colonel Shaw says, in his many years service with the "Q," he has never known such heavy travel to tjoioraao and other northwestern points. Ignoring a decision of the Central Pas senger Association, the Pittsburg & West ern and the Pittsburg & Lake Erie are making a tourist rate of $16.80 from Pitts burg to Chicago and. return.

Engineers on the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling will be granted an Increase in wages of 20 cents per day and firemen an increase of 15 cents per day, to date back to Include April. May. June and July. This Is the result of two weeks' conference between, the officials of the road and grievance committees, and is an adjustment satisfactory to both parties. A wom?,n passenger on a Southern rail way train having complained that a man wore a shirt waist without his coat on in a women's coach, the matter was referred to the legal department of the road, and it has submitted an opinion holding that "so long as a man Is decently dressed, whether he has on his coat r not. his appearance son. , TO ADVERTISE THE CARNIVAL.

HIGH'S MYSTERIOUS INJURIES. II Is Supposed v to Hare- Jumped Throush n. Window. Charles High, formerly a machinist at the Brightwood shops, was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital at midnight, suffering from severe bruises and a deco gash in his side, a deep cut on the right wrist and rmmermi Uchf mt all nver his bodv. lie was found at 11:20 p. m., lying on the ground under a window in his brother's home at 10Q2 Cornell avenue. He had jumped from the window, jumping through the glas3 and slat blinds. When picked up he was muttering something about getting away from evil spirits. Dr. Leathers, who was called, said his condition was probably due to excessive drink, and he was bordering on delirium tremens. B. F. Gift and C. R. Gift, father and son, living at Ü30 East Tenth street, heard the crash of glass and rushed from the house, teaching High just as Con Campbell, of D43 East Georgia street, who was about a square away, came up. High was known to all of them, and he was picked ur and carried to the Gift home, awaiting the arrival of the dispensary ambulance. High was injured at the shops about a month ago and was unable to work. It is said he had been drinking heavily, and after his brother, with whom he Jived, went to Nebraska to visit, took other quarters. The family is still absent, and. it is not I known, how High got Into the house. the key having been left at the Gift Home. No one could be found who had seen him during the day and Mrs. Ryan, with whom he boarded, said he had not been at the house. The window through which he Jumped was one in the bathroom and there It was found High had evidently been for hours. In the bathtub was blood which iidd dried, and on the floor were large pools of blood, and there was blood spattered on the dressing table and upon the walls. At the side of the tub was a broken glass tumbler. Whether or not High accidentally or purposely cut himself with the glass was not known. His underwear, soaked with water, was in the tub. His outer garments could not be found in the rooms adjoining. The cut on the side was about six inches in length and was deep. This was thought to have been received by his jump through the glass. The cut on the wrist was thought to have been Inflicted with the broken tumbler. At the hospital it was said he was not seriously injured and would probably recover. CAUSED EXCITEMENT. A Polecat Found Hanging to a South Illinois-Street Door. There was a hurried exodus from South Illinois street, south of the Union Station, about 11 o'clock last night.' A pole cat was the cause.

" CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR PICNIC. An Enjoyable Ontlng at Broad Ripple Park. Yesterday, The Social Union of the Christian En deavor Societies of the city churches held Its quarterly mass meeting in the form of a picnic 'at Broad Ripple Park yesterday afternoon and evening. A great number of the Christian Endeavorers went out to the park in the early afternoon with baskets of good things to eat and stayed for the spread In the evening. The afternoon was pleasantly spent in games and social chat and the exhibition of swimming,' paddling and diving of the Mler family attracted quite a crowd to the river bank. At 7 o'clock the banquet was spread and toasts were responded to by Rev. C. C. Rowlison, Rev. A. L. Orcutt. Rev. O. L. McGaughey, Rev. G. M. Anderson, Rev. V. W. Blair. Rev. Oran Orahood and Edward W. Clark. Mr. William J. Dobyns acted as toastmaster. The general theme of discussion was Christian fun, and several impromptu toasts were given during the evening. Mr. Harry Satterthwaite was chairman of the committee which had the affair in charge. FOUGHT HER ASSAILANT. Experience of Mrs. William H. Knrman, of 112S Laurel Street. The police were looking last night for a negro who assaulted Mrs. William H. Kurmart. of 112S Laurel street, late yesterday evening as she was on her way to visit friends. Mrs. Kurman said she was pass ing through a corn field near the intersec tion of the Belt and Big Four railroads, when she was set upon by the negro, who knocked her down and beat and kicked her. She finally fought hlra off and he ran. The negro nearly lost one of his fingers, which Mrs. Kurman got between her teeth and bit so severely that he ceased his attack. She returned home and called the police, but the bicycle men who responded were unable to find him. TWO IN ACCORD. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) that he Is now in continuous communica tlon with the imperial household, and thus Is enabled to convey to them the prospect of a return to the Chinese capital. The ex pected return of Prince Chlng to Peking is said to be a result of this communication between Earl Li and the imperial family. and to be the Initial move of responsible authorities towards the capital. There is reason to believe also that Earl Li is now in frequent telegraphic correspondence with European capitals, although Washington has not received a word from him since Aug. 21, the date of the last appeal for peace, soma significance is attached to this as Indicating that Earl Li, falling to get from Washington an acceptance of his overtures, turned to Europe, and more par ticularly to itussia. It was stated to-day as an additional reason for American acceptance of Li Hung Chang, that his confidential secretary and advier Us an American. Mr. Pethick. for merly of the American consular service at Tien-Tsln. Mr. Pethick is known to have great Influence with the viceroy, and among tho officials here he is regarded as a man of exceptional ability and scrupulous integrity. The disposition to look for ulterior motives in Russia's rdans is met by the state ment in authoritative quarters that such suspicions show a lack of familiarity with Russia s traditional friendship for China. It is pointed out tbat the two countries have lived as neighbors since 1649. and that their relations have not been as traders. each pushing commercial enterprises into the territory or the other, but as border neighbors, it is . said thU brousht about the agreement over the Transslberian Rail roaa. which, while beneficial to Russia, also helped enma to develo the resources of Manchuria. In seeking concessions also It is said that Russia has nrver permitted her citizens to acquire rich railroad and mln eral concessions and then to sell them in speculative markets. This unselfish and neighborly sentiment, it is maintained, is the chief motive for Russia s present course. No dispatches were received overnight from Minister Conger. The State Department had last evening a message from Con sul fenrar flood now at Shanghai, but it copÄleted merely of a report by the consul

But lie will have none go who are not forewarned of the hostile forces they will certainly 2nd arrayel against them. His startling analogy is "lambs smong wolves." Paradoxical Instructions follow. Punctilious courtesies are to bo omitted. Th customary rotating as a guest among thf houses open for entertainment Is to be avoided. A home entered Is to be blessed, and If there is but one. member of the family worthy, he will come m.tuye with the kingdom.

The Master has a foretaste of His millennial joy. While the seventy have been forging ahead with their 'mission.'" he has had Joy-giving visions of the downfall of Satan. Vnw in rnnrhisinn of this exemplary Incident, the paradoxical character of Christian evangelism is asserted. Those who were dismissed as "sheep among wolves" are now assured that nothing shall harm thera. even whn J the emergency seems as extreme, as when onu treads cn a serpent. But joy must not be stated in the mere circumstance of triumph over an adverse environment. It must, root itself in tho cause of that triumph, which is the cltiitnthip of the individual In the heavenly kingdom. "Yet do not find your happiness In th fact that the spirits submit to you, but In the fact that your names have been enrolled In heaven." ' THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. By one fine stroke.

Increase of ministry has been shown to be out of proportion to increase of communicants. Com petition for a living in the . ministry becomes rathetic. Drummond has mt this present-day issue in his New Evangelism, pub-lif-hed since his death. Each age re quires a gospel for itself. -The things whl:U stirred n5?n's minds two centuries ago fall to do so now. Vital religion under present methods of preaching declines. The very nature of truth de mands from time to time a new evangelism. Theology is a thing that moves. There is progress tn truth itself.

She eventually will return to the United States for complete repair of injuries sustained in her grounding, but will first go to China. DIPLOMATIC CORRESPOXDEXCE. Text of Russia' Proposal and Reply of the United State. WASHINGTON, Aug. SI. The State Department to-day made public the text of the Russian proposals and Its own response." The statement is signed by Acting Secretary Adee. It is headed. "Chinese correspondence, Aug. 2S-29; purposes of Russia in China." and begins with the telegraphic Instructions sent to the representatives of the United States in Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London. Rome. Tokio and St. Petersburg, under date of Aug. 23. The statement says: "The Russian charge yesterday afternoon made to me an oral statement respecting Russia's purp'oses in China, to the following effect: That, as already repeatedly declared, Russia has no designs qf territorial acquisition in China: that, equally with other powers now operating there. Russia has sought the safety of the legations at Peking, and to help the Chinese government to repress the troubles; that, incidentally, to take necessary defensive measures on the Russian border. Russia has occupied Nlu-Chwang for military purposes, and as soon as order is re-established will retire troops therefrom if action of other powers be no obstacle thereto; that the purpose for which the various governments have co-operated for the relief of the lega tions in Feklng has been accomplished; that, taking the position that, as the Chinese government has left Peking, there is no need for her representative to remain, Russia has directed the Russian minister to retire with his official personnel frora China; that the Russian troops will llkewhe be withdrawn; and that, when the government of China shall regain the reins-of government and afford an authority, with which the other powers can deal, t nd will express desire to enter into negotiations, the Russian government will also name its representative. Holding these views and purposes, Russia expresses the hope that the United States will share the same opinion." To this declaration Acting Secretary Adee mads reply in the following, headed, "Memorandum made, in response, to the Russian charge's oral communication made on Aug. 28 to the acting secretary of state, touching' the purposes of Rus.sian In China":' "The government of the United States receives with much satisfaction the reiterated statement that Ruussla has no designs of territorial acquisition In China, and that, equally with the other powers now operating In China, Russia has sought the safety of her legation In Peking and to help the Chinese government to repress the existing troubles. The same purposes have moverL-and will continue to control the government of the United States, and the frank declarations of Russia In this regard are in accord with those made to the United States by the other power?. All the powers, therefore, having disclaimed any purpose to acquire any part of China, and now that adherence thereto has been renewed since relief has reached Peking, It ought not to be difficult, bj concurrent actions through negotiations, to reach an amicable settlement with China, by which the treaty rights of all the powers will be secured for the future, the open door assured, the Interests and property of foreign citizens conserved, and full reparation made for wrongs and injuries suffered by them. "So far as we are advised the greater part of China is at peace, and earnestly detires to protect the life and property of all foreigners, and In several of the provinces active and successful efforts to suppress the Boxers have been taken by the viceroys to whom we have extended encouragement through our consuls and naval officers. These present good relations should be rromoted for the peace or China. "While we agree. that the Immediate obobject for which the military forces of the powers have been, co-operating, viz.: the relief of the ministers nt Peking, has been accomplished, there should r.ow remain the

It Is beautiful to think of the Good Shn-herd leaving th ninety and nine and faring forth through darkr.i5s and Etorm to find the on eheep that lost. The picture is a moving one; but does it move cs? Is not the greater iart of our churta activities merely a fattening of the ninety aal rine? la not our church "work" largely a getting ready for Christ's real work? Are not our so-called "services" only a rrerarttlon foe sirvice? And then, when w are prepsrvd. nr. when we are surfeited with gospel truth and when 6crmons and prayer meetings hare ceael to inspire us because of our very familiarity with the principle of the ChrlEtlike life, do w go out Into the darkness with our light. Into th waste places with our surplus food? Or do we rot, rather, approve ourselves because we have approved the plan of salvation, and so rest sat lifted without saving a single soul? These words ars not for you If you are hoaettly, earnestly, trying In Christ's strength to save some sinner out of the fold; but if you ar r.ot they are for you. All men would be soul-seekers If thy couli b self-seekers at the seme time. If we could be missionaries w ithout taking trouble, Paul's mant,e .ja be on all our shoulders. But you can't stay in the warm fold anJ tt th same time hunt lost sheep. Lova of the world and lora ot souls cannot dweil together In any heart. Soul-saving will swallow up your money. It will eat into your time, "U will devour your strength. You cannot serve God and mammon. There Is room on yoar hd for only one crown. Shall It b of pewt-r or of diamonds? ' ' Lost sheep stray Into hard places. You cannot go after them and keep in the pleasant meadows. If you have a pair of legs, you can go after them, though. You , can ark. "Do you lova Christ?" You can write a letter: "1 wish you would follow my Christ." It is bot easy, but It is entirely feasible for any one. Personal, definite, work Is th only kind thtt counts. Standing at thi door of the sfceepfoli end making proclamation:. "Com hexe, ail you loet sheep, and let me save you," will do jio good.

WELLS. other purposes which all the other powers have in common, which are referred to in the communication of the Russian charge, and which were specifically enumerated in our note. to. the powers of July 3. These are: ' "To afford all possible protection everywhere in China to foreiRn life and property; to guard and protect nil 'legitimate foreign interests; to aid In preventing the spread of the disorders to other provinces of the empire, and a recurrence of such disorders, and to seek a solution which may bring about permanent safety and peace to China, preserve Chinese territorial and administrative entity; protect all rlfihtt protected by treaty-and international laws to friendly powers and safeguard for the world the principle of equal and impartial trade with all parts of the Chinese empire. "In our opinion these purposes could bert be attained by the Joint occupation of Peking under a definite understanding between the powers until the Chinese government shall have been re-established and shall be in a position to enter Into new treaties with adequate provisions for reparation and guarantees of future protection. With the establishment and recognition of such authority the United States would wish to withdraw its military forces from Peking and remit to the processes of peaceful negotiation our JuEt demands. Wa consider, however, that a continued occupation of Peking would be ineffective to produce the desired result, unless all the powers unite therein with entire harmony of purpose. Any power which determines to withdraw Its troops from Peking will necessarily proceed thereafter to protect its interests in China by its own method, and we think that this would make a general withdrawal expedient. As to the tlmo and manner of withdrawal, we think thit. In view of the imperfect knowledge of tha military situation resulting trom the interruptions of telegraphic communication, tho several military commanders at Peklns should be instructed to confer and agrea together upon the withdrawal an a concerted movement, as they agreed upon tha advance. "The result of these considerations is that, unless there is such a general expression by the powers in favor of continued occupation as to modify the views expressed by the government of Russia and lead to a general agreement for continued occupation, we shall give Instructions to the commander of the American forces In China to withdraw our troops frora Peking' after due conference with other commanders as to the time and manner of withQrawal.
