Fears That Negro William Lee May Be
Lynohed for Crime.
PHILADBLPHIA, June 12.—A ape-
cial dispatch from Cape Charles, Va.,
to the Record .tonight says that William Lee, a negro, who was arrested at
Cape Charles, yesterday on suspicion
of having assaulted two women near
Kingston. Md., Sunday night, is ln the
county jail at Eastville, Va., under the
protection of a strong .detachment of
the Seventy-first Virginia regiment,
At a late hour the town of Eastville
was'.fluiet'and no trouble was expected
'during the nigbt.
WASHINGTON, June 12.—With a
very large proportion of the members
present, due to the activity of the Republican and Democratic whips, the
bouse today passed a rule sending the
railroad rate bill back to conference as
asked for by the senate without even
an expression of its wishes as to any
of Oie amendments to the bill.
f" ^jhVl-uTe was debated for foriy min-
utejh.
The leaders participated in tho discussion, the Democrats taking the position that the time was opportune to
concur in the sleeping car amendment
and instruct the conferees as to the
anti-pass amendment. Although tbe
Democrats were aided by eight Republicans they could not command votes
enough to defeat the rule, which was
adopted, 184 to 99.
A Canteen Law.
While the sundry civil bill was under consideration tbe house, in oommittee of the whole, adopted an amend*
ment offered by Mr. Bowersock (Kan.)
prohibiting canteens in soldiers*
homes. Unexpectedly the Neill-Reynolds report on tbe condition of Chicago packing bouses came in tor severe criticism, Mr. Mondell (Wyo.),
Mr. Slayden (Texas) and Mr. Fulker-
son (Mo.) discussing the advisability
of the report ln scathing terms. Mr.
Ames (Mass.) defended botb the President and the report and insisted that
tbe packers should pay the cost ot Inspection. The speaker appointed Representative Dalzell (Pa.) as regent of
tbe Smithsonian institution.
The house at 5:45 p. m. adjourned
until 11 o'clock tomorrow.
Senate Proceedings.
The conference report on. the statehood bill was today withdrawn from
and again presented to the senate, the
new report containing the compromise
provision agreed upon by the conferees
of the two houses.' There was some
discussion of the power of the conferees to withdraw the report and tbe
withdrawal was only permitted by a
vote. Tbe new report was not considered. Much of tbe remainder of tbe
day was devoted to the bill extending
tp thirty-six hours the time that live
stock may be carried in transit without unloading. Senator Warren was
in charge of the measure and he and
a number of senators debated it at
length. During tne discussion there
was some referenoe to the. proposed
legislation for the regulation of packing bpuses and Senator Lodge said tho
packers are standing in their own light
in not inviting tbe most rigid inspection.   Tbe bill was passed.
PITTSBURG] June 12.—While the
city of Pittsburg returned a majority
of over 26,000 today in favor of consolidation with Allegheny Into a greater Pittsburg, Allegheny opposed th,e
movement and rejected tbo proposition
witb a majority of about 5,800. Not
one of tbe wards In the eity of Allegheny returned a majority in favor of
the movement, while almost every1;
ward in Pittsburg favored it.
Must Go te Supreme Court.
This was a special election on the
consolidation act authorized by the
legislature and it was hoped would settle for all time tbe question that has
been agitated ln botb cities. Wbile a
majority Is returned tn favor of consolidation, however, the election today
is not tbe end.
Allegheny having expressed its opposition to consolidation, tbe matter
will now be taut, n up to tbe supreme
oourt to test the constitutionality of
the law.
It had been expected tbat if 59 ner
cant, of tbe vote was gotten out that
a majority in both cities would result
in favor, but early in the day the opposition in Allegheny was apparent. -It
is estimated that 80 per cent, of the
vote of both cities was polled.
There Was Opposition.
With weather in whicii, were political questions involved, politicians
would have reveled, tbe voters in this,
city and Allegheny were called upon
today to cast their ballot, for or against
tbe consolidation of tbe two cities into
a greater Pittsburg, the success of
which would make the greater city
sixth or seventh in population ln the
United States, estimated upon tho census of 19U0, with the average growth
annually since that^.time.
The question,, ... however, was not
without its opponents, and for a month
a vigorous campaign to imbue voter.
with enthusiasm Has. been carried- on
by greater .;.PijAs.8{£i'g organisations.
Mass meetings'.''Speeches, red flre and
brass bands all 'ft^ve.jplayed their part
and even up to tht! closing of the polls
at 7 o'clock tonight the struggle to gain
"enthusiasm was not relaxed.
A Large Early Vote.
The favorable weather had WlJfefceet
in bringing out a good sized early vote
in Pittsburg, but In Allegheny there
was mucb opposition and it was there
the only fears were felt for the success
of the consolidation act. During the
day several hundred, alleged repeaters
were ordered ;awayi:from the polls, but
as far as could be- learned no arrests
were made. The #nrly indications were
that Allegheny would vote to defeat
tbe consolidation, while by the same
tokens, it was 'almost assured that
Pittsburg would vote ln favor of it by
a goad sized majority. Whether the
majority would be of 'sufficient strength
to overcome tbe opposition In Allegheny was a question up to the time of
the announcement of the count.
Endeavor Man Wins in tho Five-Cor-
nered  Congressional   Fight.
FRANKLIN, June 12.—(Special.)—
N. P. Wheeler of Forest county was
nominated In tbe conferees' convention
of the Twenty-eighth congressional district late this afternoon as the Republican candidate for congress. His
nomination was effected by tbe union
of Forest, Elk and Mercer counties,
after a large number of fruitless ballots. There were five candidates: N. P.
Wheeler, General Jobn A. Wiley,
James P. Whit la, W, O. Winslow and
H. H. Cumings. Each of the five
oounties of Mercer, Venango, Forest,
warren and Elk thus put forward a
favorite son to land the prize. When it
became 'evident that some of the conferees must change tbeir ballots it
happened that Mr. Wheeler was second choice of Mercer and Forest. This
landed him, in tbe coveted position by
a handsome margin.
This is the flrst time In history that
Forest county has been honored witb
a congressional candidate. Mr. Wheeler is a member of tbe lumber flrm of
Wheeler A Dusen berry. He was born
in New York state about sixty years
ago and came to the Pennsylvania
lumber woods when a comparatively
young man. By bis attention to business he has accumulated a fortune.' He
has been one of tbe largest employers
of labor in this part of tbe country and
is highly regarded by men of every
Class. He bas a thorough scholastic
education and what is better has been
trained in the world of experience. He
has always been a Republican. He is
ln sympathy with tbe present state
movement and with the administration'
of Theodore Roosevelt as president.
His home, "Bonnie Brae," is at Endeavor, where his principal business is
located. In his own oounty he is revered alike by old and- young. When
the news reached Tionesta tonight of
bis success in tbe convention tbere was
widespread joy. It Is believed by Republicans generally that he will prove
a worthy successor to Congressman
Sibley.. His election is assured.

7-year-old boy t. as fVtrhla dVer to an
unknown man by a messenger boy here
today and abducted.
Although the police have made a
general search of the city, no trace of
the missing- child- has been found up to

Jon of Charles Muth, a wealthy jeweler
living at 1832 Columbia avenue.
A  Bold Crime.
The riijesse'nger boy ln the case told
the police that he was asked by a man
to take a note to a school house, two
squares from the Muth house. The
note was addressed to tbe principal and
requested tbe teacher to send the child
home with the messenger. She complied with the request and tbe unsuspecting messenger boy escorted the
child, to a nearby street corner, where
the man took the young boy in chf.rge
and boarded a street car. As the messenger turned over the child he heard
the stranger say to the little fellow:
"I'm going to take you to   see   your
PHILADELPHIA, June 12.—The Berwind-White Coal Mining company was
the Issue betore the Interstate Commerce commission, when It resumed its
Investigation today into tbe relations of
railroads to coal and oil interests. Probably tbe most important fact brought
out was that tbe coal company Is allowed 7 cents a ton by tbe railroad
company for handling its cars on the
Harsimus pier. This allowance gives
tbe coal company about $17,000 a
montb for this service. Tbe work is performed, however, by Pennsylvania railroad crews witb railroad locomotives
for which the coal company makes
monthly settlements with tbe railroad,
the amount of the monthly bill being
something over $700.
Tilt With  Counsel.
Charles Heebner, counsel for the
Berwind-White company, aroused the
Ire of tbe commissioners wben be told
tbem coal loaded into the bunkers of
steamships was paid for by estimated
weight aud tbat tbere was no way of
determining the quantity of coal that
remained in a barge when the steamship did not take the entire load.
Commissioner Cockrell suggested
that counsel was evasive, which Mr.
Heebner indignantly denied.
"We bave nothing to evade," he declared, "but I don't know how you aro
going to find out wbat you are trying
to learn, because we bave no way of
knowing it ourselves."
"Well, wo will stagger along the best
we can," was Commissioner Clement's
comment.
Was a Favored Company.
It developed through the testimony
of Frederick Mat-Owen, treasurer of the
company, that during a period when!
oars were scarce, E. J. Berwind made
arrangements with the Pennsylvania
railroad by which bis company secured
1,000 individual cars, several hundred
of which bad been in the service of the
railroad. Mr. MacOwen detailed the
history of the Berwind-White company
and explained the lease of Harsimus
pier.
R. L. Franklin, assistant freight
agent of tbe .Pennsylvania railroad, was
ope of tbe witnesses today, Through
._rm ft was shown 'fhat'oUl of seven
claims for coal lost in transit, four
made by Weston, Dodson & Co. -were
not granted and three made by the
Keystone Coal and Coke company were
allowed.
The Keystone company's claims were
allowed for delay en route, Mr. Franklin said, but while tbere might have
heen delay in the case of the other
claims, it was likely that they occurred
at destination for which the consignee
was probably responsible.

WASHINGTON, June 12.—The house
committee on agriculture continued ..Tts
consideration of the Beveridge meat
inspection amendment until after fi
o'clock this evening, but did not com-.
plete its tentative consideration of .all
the features of the amendment. Ttte
question of fees has not heen reached.
The only statement made by tlie
committee was that the country couid
be assured that the result' of the deliberations would be a meat inspection
law which would suit the mop't radical
demands in that respect. Final conclusions on the matter, so far as i.he
committee is concerned, will be reached
tomorrow and the amendment will be
reported to the house as a part of tbe
agricultural bill Thursday.
Want Senate Conference.
At this time tbe course to be taken
will be a, motion to disagree to all the
amendments of the senate on this bill
and ask a conference of the senate. ..
Tbe Beveridge amendment has been'
modified by the committee tentatively
in a number of respects. One of these,
is to restrict its operation to the "continental United States." As originally .
drawn the amendment was applicable
to all of the possessions of the United
States. The restriction, according to
the committee, is calculated to avdidt,
unnecessary expense and administrative red* tape in complying with the
requirements for an inspection in the
Philippines and other possessions
where practically no demand for inspections exists.
The date on the tablets of canned,
products ls not to be required. Neither]
