RAILROADS TO
COMPROMISE C
Will Make Concessions to
Traveling Men, but Will
not Accede to Demand.
Atlanta, Ga., May 17.—Although
tho railroads havo agreed to niako
■omo concessions (or tho accomoda
tion of the traveling men. they have
refined definitely to accede to tho
traveling men's demands that mile
age be pulled on tho trains, and al
though decision reached hero
at tho Join meeting yeatorday after
noon la called a compromise, the tact
remains that the traveler* have fail
ed to get what they originally wont
after.
In flatly refusing to have mileage
pulled by conductors on the tralna
the railroad officials argue that not
all the lines In the south hare enter
ed Into the Interchangeable mileage
agreement, and that should such a
syatem bn Inaugurated, all mileage
would be purchased on the main
line*, which would be oppoeod by the
smaller lines.
It was also argued by tho rail
road* that tholr service had been
Improved; that additional ticket
agent* bad been placed at points
where they were needed, and In
substance It wa* argued that If the
traveling men would bo content not
to press their fight on the mileage
pulling question, the road* would do
everything else within reason to ac
comodate them.

Atlantic City, N. J., May 17,
Nearly all of ttyo 8(18 delegates
the annual meeting of the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church
which open* here tomorrow,, have hi**
ready arrived In town, together with
a largo number of visitors.
With the calling tf> order of the
foreign missionary • Conference this
afternoon the assembly;-began to get
under way, though the forjnal open
ing does not take place dntll tomor
row morning. The annual report of
tho Board of Foreign Missions sho‘
tho largest gifts to miss'ons evei
made by tho board, amounting to
$1,098,500. Tho receipts of the
Board were also the largest, and
wero $1,632,000 from regular
sources.
The most Important event of the
first regular session of the assembly
tomorrow will be the selection of a
moderator. Ordinarily the election
is preceeded by a more or less spirit
ed contest, though the candidate*
themselves never take an active
part. This year, however, there ap
pears to be an unusual dearth of
candidates. Some of the Western
commissioners have launched
good stood boom in behalf of Dr.
Mark A. Matthews of,Seattle. The
only candidate thus far offered by
the Eatsern part of the country is
Rev, John F. Carson, D. D., pastor
of the Central Presbyterian eburch of
Brooklyn. Other candidacies for the
moderatorship Will probably appear
before the election tomorrow
Tho discussed heresy charges are
likely to crop up Friday, when the
report of the presbyteries are Tead.
Tho clergymen against whom tha
charges of herejy^have been made
are the Rev./nr. Francis tlroj
president of £he # Union Theo]
Seminary In Now York city.
Of the niof^m^incnt. theolc
America, a^HKe Rev. Dr.
Adams BrtfWi, a professor to
Union Seminary,
The charges against these two
clergymen are brought by tho Rev.
Dr. W. L. McEwan, pastor of the
Third Presbyterian Church of Pitts
burg. Dr. McEwan complains about
certolh statements made by the two
clergymen In recent newspaper arti
cles written by them, which he con
strues to be fh direct opposition to
the most cherished doctrine of the
Church, ns wvll ns the essential and
fundamental belief of Christian peo
ple.
Tho executive commission of the
assembly, n body recently created to
carry on the work of Presbyterian
ism during the year, met today to
put tho finishing touches to the re
ports nnd recommendations to be
presented to the nssembly. Tho
leading recommendations affect the
various boards of tho Church,
grouping them In four classes and
providing thnt the trustees or direr
tors of one board may serve on any
other In the same classification. The
plans, It is said, call for some radi
cal changes in the present system
of management, nnd the fear fs
openly expressed that the commis
sion’s recommendation will meet with
vigorous opposition In the assembly.
Tt Is believed tho effort to reduce
the number of members of the as
sembly will bo successful this year.
Of late years tho body has Increased
In size until It has become unwleldly
Tho executive commission Is expect
ed to recommend a reduction tc
about 600 members.
Another Important recommenda
tion of tho commission, which 1« to
bo considered and acted upon by
the assembly. Is that the budget
committee confer with the board* In
New York, Philadelphia and Pitts
burg, In a proposed financial cam
paign for tho benevolent found of the
church, to bo carried on under the
direction of the commifeston.
