NEW YORK, May 24.— Reports re ceived in this city today from London announce the consolidation of the Cramp Ship building company, of Phil adelphia, and Vickers & Maxim, of Barrow-on-Furness, England, in one great ship building concern. This alliance, if perfected, and there !s little doubt of its being accomplished, will make one of the most powerful corporations of its kind on either con tinent. The plan of consolidation provides for an increase in the capacity of the Cramp's shipyards by the introduction of British capital, so as to increase the capital stock of the company from ' — -9 ■ : KIDNEY TROUBLES Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, Also Backache, I cannot speak too highly of Mrs. Pinkham's Medicine, for it has done so much for me. I have been a great suf ferer from Kidney trouble, pains in muscles, joints, back and shoulders; feet would swell. I also had womb troubles and leucorrhoea. After using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, and Blood Purifier and Liver Pills, I felt like a- new woman. My kidneys are now in perfect condition, and all my other troubles are cured.— Mrs. Maggie Potts, 324 Kauffman St., Philadelphia, Pa. Backache. My system was entirely run down, .nd I suffered with terrible backache in the small of my back and could hardly stand upright. I was more tired in the morning than on retiring at night. I had no appetite. Since taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I have gained fifteen pounds, and I look better than I ever looked before. I shall recommend it to all my friends, as it certainly is a wonder ful medicine.— Mrs. E. F. Morton, 1043 Hopkins St., Cincinnati, Ohio. Kidney Trouble. Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I had suffered many years with kidney trouble. The pains in my back and shoulders were terrible. My menstruation became ir regular, and I was troubled with leu corrhoea. I was growing very weak. I had been to many physicians but re ceived no benefit. I began the use of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine, and the first bottle relieved the pain in my back and regulated the menses. It is the best kind of medicine that I have ever taken, for it relieved the pain so quickly and cured the disease. — Mrs. Lillian ____n, Box 77, St. Andrews Bay, Fla $5,000,000 to $10,000,000, if not more. The additional capital is to be furnished by the Vickers in return for stock in the enlarged corporation. Holders of com mon stock in the existing corporation will receive new stock. The preliminaries to the deal were arranged by William M. Ivlns, of this city, who is a passenger on the White Star liner Teutonic, due here tomorrow. It is expected that a meeting of the directors of the Cramp company will be held in Philadelphia on Thursday, when the details of the alliance will be submitted for adoption. The matter has been under consider ation for several months, the first over tures having, it is said, come from the Vickers. READY MONEY NEEDED MISTAKES IN THE WAR REVENUE BIL.I, WILL, NOT PRODUCE IT Senate Urged to Avoid the Enact ment of a Law Thut Will Involve the Business Interests of the Country in Litigation Issue of Legal Tender Note. Antagonized by Senator Lindsay. WASHINGTON, May 24.— The feature of the war revenue measure placing a tax cf i ore-quarter of 1 per cent on the gross re ceipts of corporations was under discussion in the senate throughout the day's session. Incidentally the proposed tax on bank, de posits was adverted to. The rrineiral speeches wero delivered by Mr. Piatt (Rep., Conn.), and Mr. Lindsay (Dem., Ky.), both of whom vigorously at tacked the corporation tax. The wo'ght of I the former's argument was thrown against the tax on the ground that it was unconst;- j tutional because the tax was not levied alike upon all persons engaged ln particular lines \ of business. He maintained lhat an occupa- j tion tax could be levied, provided the con- j ditions were fair and equitable, but t_tt the business of a corporation could not bs taxed, simly because it was conducted by a ' corporation. To be equitable the tax must i be laid upon Ihe business, whether it was I conducted by a corporation, a partnership, a j firm or an individual. Mr. Lindsay vigorously antagonized the proposed Issue of legal tender notes, declar ing that It accentuated the existing menace to the gold reserve of the treasury, and was, besides, the dearest money ever devis_. He | held that such an issue would be a blow to i the nationa's financial credit. He, too, pre- i sented an argument against the proposed corporation tax, maintaining that, if enact ed into a law, it would bring about law suits instead of providing what the govern ment needed— ready money with which to con duct the war operations. Tomorrow the sen ate will resume the discussion of the pend- I ing measure an hour earlier than usual, the session beginning at 11 o'clock. fightWhand Continued front First Page.

SPANISH TRICK. ST. PIERRE, Martinique, May 24.— The Spanish torpedo boat detroyer Terror is being coaled by tbe Spanish steamer Alicante. The Alicante lies at ! the mouth of Fort de Pre nee harbor. I It was supposed that she was a hospl- j tai ship, but there is no doubt that | she carries a cargo of coal for the SpaniSb warships. Her pretensions to be a hospital ship were obviously put forward as a blind. The United States consul has cau- ! tioned the French officials of the -port | not to allow the Terror to take coal in j excess of the quantity to carry the Ter ror to the nearest Spanish port. It is reported that the Terror will leave Martinique tomorrow. She is un derstood to be in good condition. NO HAEM DONE. Story of the Skirmish Off Santiago de Cuba. KEY WEST, May 24 (11:50 p. m.).— The United States auxiliary tug Warn- j patucket brought in today a story of a sharp skirmish off Santiago de Cuta ' last Wednesday, j The tug, with the United States aux- EUary cruiser St. Louis, went into the Santiago channel to cut the cable. While the vessels were engaged in | the work they were fired on by the j shore batteries. The St. Louis returned the flre and | a lively fusillade ensued for about half an hour. The Wampatueket eventually suc ceeded ln cutting the cable. None of the Spanish shots reached either boat, while neither of them, in turn, boasts of having inflicted any damage upon the enemy. From Santiago the two ships proceed ed to Guantanamo, the Wampa tueket going in within 400 yards from the shore to cut the shore line, there, the St. Louis lying out of range. The shore batteries again opened flre and the St. Louis signaled the tug to come out, which she did, without hav ing cut the cable at that point. This adventure was equally harmless. Accounts of it reached here today In a grossly exaggerated form, including a report that the cruiser and the little tug had silenced tbe Spanish batter ies on shore. CAN COAL AT HONOLULU. Hawaiian Government Hu So Open ly Declared. HONOLULU, May 17.— Members of the cabinet refuse point blank to deny or affirm the rumor that this govern ment has offered the islands to the American government as a base of op erations in the war with Spain. The details of a bill having this object ln view have been received and sent to the senate in. secret session. It was draft ed by friends of the constitution in the United States. It was sent to President Dole by the Hawaiian representatives in Washington. The members of the Hawaiian senate objected to the bill, saying that all the republic can do or offer to do is contained in the annexa tion treaty. This country has not declared neu trality as yet and will probably not do so. In the meantime the American troops will be allowed directly and openly by the government all the free dom' of this port. THE ST. PAUL GLOBE WEDNESDAY MAY 23, 1898. TO DIG INTO FLOUR REBATES INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM MISSION SITS TOMORROW Since It Adjourned Charles A. I'ills lnirj and Other Prominent Ship — pern Have Been Served With No tices to Appear Before the Board of Inquisition Some Pointed Testimony Is Expected to Appear. The sitting of the interstate com merce commission, which adjourned here March 29, after a two days' ses sion, v/ill be continued tomorrow morn ing at 10 o'clock. W. A. Day, of Washington, D. C, counsel for the Interstate commerce commission, arrived here yesterday morning from Chicago. . He is regis tered at the Ryan hotel. As was the ease at the former sit ting, there will be three members of the commission in attendance, but this number constitutes a quorum. The com missioners will arrive here from Chi cago this morning, and have engaged rooms at the Ryan. They are Judge Judson C. Clements, of Georgia; J. D. Yeomans, of lowa, and W. J. Calhoun, of Illinois. Chairman M. I. Knapp, of New York, and Charles E. Prouty, of Vermont, will not be present. Other duties pre vented their attending the former ses sion, and, as they are not conversant with the situation, they will take care of the affairs of the commission at Washington. The commission is here for the pur pose of getting at the true facts con cerning the methods used by the local roads in handling flour from Minneap olis and common points to New York. Since January, 1897, the flour rates have been in a bad condition, fluctuat ing as much as $30 a car in a month. Hearing of this, the commission deter mined to find out why such a state of affairs should exist in the Northwest, and instructed United States Marshal O'Conner to serve subpoenas on the different local railroads. The act of congress relative to the interstate com merce commDss'ion charges that body with the duty of being informed as to how the roads handle their shipments. Marshal O'Connor served summons on the following roads: Great North- | crn, Eastern Railway of Minnesota, i Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Chi- j cago, Burlington & Northern, Chicago Oreat Western, Minneapolis _ St. Louis, St. Paul & Duluth, Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, Soo line, Wisconsin Central, Flint & Pere Mar quette, Duluth, South Shore & Atlan tic, etc. The following milling firms were sub poenaed: Washburn, Crosby & Co., PUlsbury mills, Consolidated mills, Im- ! perial and Mankato mills, the two lat ter being at Duluth. The papers, in the cases of the roads, requested that the general freight ! agents and auditors be present. The examination brought to light some interesting evidence. The ship- ; ping clerks of the different flou:ing | concerns occupied the stand almost all I of the three days, while some leading j traffic officials were examined the rest of the time. The representative of the Duluth, i South Shore & Atlantic road, when j hard pressed by Counsel Day, adrnittea having paid rebates on shipments of Bour out of Duluth in connection with I the Michigan Central and the Grand Rapids _ Indiana. Testimony giver. ] by the general freight agents and audi- ! tors of these roads brought out the I fact that the rebates were paid by the auditor of the South Shore & Atlantic, j He did the collecting from the road and j handed the money over to the millers, j being a sort of a clearing house. The commissioners claim that the evidence given by the shipping clerk for the Washburn-Crosby company showed that the company had been re ceiving large rebates right along. The list of witnesses include J. S. Bell, president; I. L. Course, E. M. Fairchild, James Hannis, A. C. Loring, George E. Ewing, Eugone Sheenan, W. L. Martin, A. V. Martin, W. W. Brough ton, general freight agent St. Paul & Duluth; E. D. Parker, assistant gen eral freight agent Soo line; S. O. Brooks, assistant general freight agent Chicago Great Western; S. C. Stick - ney, general manager Great Western; P. C. Stohr, general freight agent of ■ the same line; W. D. Washburn, B. C. 1 Church, and G. H. Christianson, presl i dent of the Consolidated Milling com pany. Wednesday, March 30, the commis sioners adjourned the session until Thursday, May 26, in order to All an ap pointment at Chicago. All witnesses Ing subpoenaed to appear at the last session are expected to be on hand to- I morrow morning. The circuit of ap peals is now in session in the federal court room, and, in case it does not conclude its work by tomorrow morning the commission will sit in some other public chamber. The session will commence with the calling of the names of the subpoenaed witnesses, after which the rigid exam ination will be again conducted by Mr. Day. The three commissioners who arrive here today are all men of prominence and have occupied public positions for some time. Judge Clements, tempor ary chairman of the commission, was appointed on the commission by Presi dent Harrison. He served in the War of the Rebellion on the Confederate side, and afterwards studied law. He i .presented Georgia in congress for over eight years, and is an able, con scientious man. His close application to the recent hearing here made him as important a factor in the investigation as Counsel Day himself. The judge frequently took the witnesses in hand and brought out some evidence of great value to the commission. Commissioner Yeomans was appoint ed by President Cleveland, and was formerly a state senator in lowa, He owns a large stock farm in the state of lowa, and was once a railroad man, being superintendent of a road in New York. Commissioner Calhoun was selected to his present position by President Mc- Kinley, and Is a warm personal friend of the present chief executive. He was the president's personal representative in Cuba last year, where he made a careful Investigation of the affairs on the island for McKlnley's information. He formerly studied law, and ls a counselor of wide knowledge. Mr. Day does not hold a public office, being _mply appointed to take charge of special cases where there are no complainants to supply an attorney. Marshal O'Connor was unable before the former session to serve ali the war rents he held, as a number of flour and traffic men found It convenient to keep out of town. _, is said that some of these have not yet returned. Since the last Investigation a sum mons has been served on Charles A. PUlsbury. POLICE HAVE A SPASM. _ Raid Some Candy Stores After Wait ing: Twenty Months. There wae an unusual activity ln police cir cles yesterday concerning the "blind" con fectionery stores and obscure resorts habituat ed by women ot tarnished reputation. Through orders Issued somewhere, two dozen warrants had been sworn out for as many women of this class and they began arriving at the station shortly alter 8 o'clock. The warrants charged the women either with keeping a dis orderly house or with • having violated ordi nance 1886, which makes it a misdemeanor for any one to entice another from the street. Altogether eleven women were arresled yes terday They were Nel3_ Glover, a negress, better known as "Lady Jane," Mary John __. Rose _* c « ar ' Martha Hawkins, Frankle Wi.llams, Blanche Smith, Carrie Martin, Ad« Irvine, Mrs. Turpin, May Brown, Kate Mc- Tighe and Sadie Cook. Mary Johnson and Blanche Smith are ac cused of maintaining disorderly houses, while the others are arrested for alleged violation of ordinance 1885. Hose Lsdegax i« tht woman who is trying to beat a ninety-diy wozkhouse sentcne by an appeal to the supreme court. She was c.n vicU'd of setting a vicious bull dog upon Ole Framstad in a candy store which she runs on East Seventh street and sentenced by Judge Orr. The offense took place nearly two months ago. The .general rounding up of the women at this time has caused fcondiflerab'.e speculation not only ln police clrjelesj ibut elsewhere. It Is pointed out that as the administration ts about to go out of power tt has nothing to gain by pretending to desire better morals for the city and It Is not believed that the women have refused jto conform to the re quirements which are said to have heretofore been exacted of them. "It's funny," said a poUce official yester day, "what they want to stir up trouble for at this stage of the game. It's poor Dillcy, but I suppose some of the girls 'bucked' and It was necessary to bring- them to terms." The prisoners will .be- arraigned in the municipal court today. CACHEDINASOOTY FLUE POLICEI HAKE A RICH HAUL QF STOLEN TRINKETS Chimney on I _iu_uter Street Dis closes Some Diverse hut None the Less Valuable Odds and Ends Supposed tb Have Been Stolen From Lweal Homes Marcus Thompson the Suspeetcd Thief. The police have in custody at the central station a young man giving the name of Marcus Thompson, who is al leged to have been engaged in system atic stealing and swindling throughout the suburban residence district for sev eral weeks. After Chief Schweitzer "interviewed" Thompson yesterday morning Detective Mike Sweeney visited the young man's home, 722 Fauquier street, where a basket full of alleged stolen property was recovered. The property was found hidden at the bottom of a chim ney flue, the opening of which was con cealed by a bureau. In the dust and | soot Detedtive Sweeney brought to light the following articles: One agate paper weight, one ink stand, in form of skull with serpent ornaments; one fancy ash receiver, a shell pin try, a silver pin tray, silver match box, one thermometer, a fancy hat pin, with green settings; one Jap anese vase, six shell orna/ments, five knives, a gold scarf holder with initials, I. R. C. ; two pairs of gold sleeve but tons, three rhines tone buttons, one imi tation diamond and ruby set ring; one | gold ring set with samphire, with in ! soription, J. C. R. to 1% A. F., May 31, ! 1184; two gold rings with garnet set ' tings, a silver chain , with attached ! check numbered 105; and a peculiarly wrought design ln a frame represent ing the birth of Christ. It is believed by the- police that the recovered property do_ not represent half of Thompson's alleged stealings, as there was an opportunity a.fter his arrest for making away with the more valuable property. The prisoner fell livt. the hands of i the police through U.ft*alleged theft of a pair of opera gla_s_| from the resi dence of Dr. Dwight .Brooks, 455 Lind | hurst avenue. Mrs. (Brooks missed the j glasses shortly after Thompson called i at the house for the oftensible purpose of selling furniture i wklish. She ml l formed OfficeT Gavin <_ her suspicions, and Thompson was arrested, it is said, while in the act of throwing away the : glasses. The young man's alleged swindling j operations are said to consist in oall | Ing at houses where he has ascertained ' that servants are alone and present i ing a bottle of polish, which he repre sents the lady of the house has pur chased and ordered delivered. In this way he is said to have been successful j in a number of Instances in collecting j from 75 cents to $2.50 from domestics. "Where he has made apparent legiti mate sales of the furniture polish he is said to have indulged in the sneak thievery which pilel up the articles found at his home. Residents who have lost articles from their homes of late will be given an opportunity to identify Thompson, and. lf possible, the alleged stolen property today. Thompson is a man of about twenty flve years of age, well dressed and has a large on his left cheek. He claims to be married, -and says he has lived in St. Paul for several years.

Matter of the Construction of Snell- Ing Avenue Bridge. The council committee on streets held a short meeting yesterday afternoon and de cided to recommend to the council that City Engineer Rundlett be given full power ln the conetructlng of the Snelllng avenue bridge by the Great Northern Railway company. Mr. Rundlett submitted a communication to the committee. In which he stated that the Great Northern desired to transfer a section of the Lafayette avenue bridge to Snelllng avenue, but that this wcul. not be satisfactory to him. as the specifications for the Snel'.ing avenue bridge call for a fifty-five fcot roadway and eight-foot sidewalks, while the section of the Lafayette bridge has a roadway only thirty feet wide. Road Engineer Munster was before the com mittee and stated that the transfer of the sec tion would be wholly unsatisfactory unless the roadway could be widened. The committee decided that City Eng'neer Rundlett should have full power in the matter lf possible. Low Fare to Washington, D. C.

JOHN THE EVANGELIST BlHhop Gilbert Delivered the Ordi nation Address to the Candidate*, In Which He Set Forth the Clinr acterlMtlc- of the Episcopal Chareh— Courage and Patience Needed by Young; Rectors. At the Churcb of St. John the Evan gelist yesterday morning two clergyman were advanced to the priesthood in' the Episcopal church. Rev. I_wis G. Morris, assistant pas tor of the Church of St. John, and Rev. Owen F. Jones, of Le Sueur, Minn., were the two candidates to whom Bishop Gilbert delivered the address of instruction prior to the ordination. The following were the visiting clergy who assisted Bishop Gilbert in the service: Rev. Dudley W. Rhodes, Rev. E. Dray, Rev. Charles Holmes, Rev. G. H. Mueller, Rev. G. H. Ten Broeck, Rev. Carl Taylor, of St. Paul, and Rev. H. P. Nichols, Rev. F. T. Webb, Rev. S. B. Purvis and Rev. Mr. Alexander, of Minneapolis. Tihe service commenced at 11 o'clock. A surpliced choir of twenty-five voices led a procession of clergy and the bishop. A single hymn and the usual prayer service for the occasion prefaced I the sermon by the bishop. The sermon was not long, but the bishop was singularly simple in his re marks. He had just returned from one of his long trips among the parishes of the state. The trip was among some of tlie poorer parishes, and the weight of the struggles borne by some of the young rectors impressed the bishop deeply. Hence his charge to the can didates was full of hints as to what they would be confronted with, and the necessity of a limitless courage and pa tience. The bishop did not think there was any service in the prayer book so help ful as that for the ordination of priests. It was a personal appeal and a power ful presentation of the doctrines. It was a striking characteristic of the Episcopal church that, instead of set and arbitrary dogmas for the mem bers, there was great room left for free individual interpretation of dog mas. There were, however, certain principles and rubrics of the church which were declaratory and positive, and nothing so weakened the position of the churchman as the taking of these rubrics as voluntary. The bish op had no sympathy with any church whidh tried to work out its own line without considering the good of the whole. There was a kind of Protest antism which was nothing more nor less than individualism run wild. Against this the bishop protested. There were, perhaps, some of the thir ty-nine articles, the bishop said, which, if now opened for revision, would very likely be revised, and, perhaps, prop erly so. The bisihop thought that the Episcopal church had shown great wisdom in not making positive and dogmatic declarations. Turning to the two candidates the bishop addressed them personally. He said a priest was a man under author ity. The bishops, he declared, had less liberty than even the priests, and the latter should not become restive. A priest could not impress his congrega tion with the duty of lowliness and obedience unless he himself showed the same spirit. The priest should stand as the representative of something greater than he himself was. Self should be subordinated. A priest should bear himself as if he was honored by being made the chosen representative of the church and faith, whether in a colossal cathedral or a humble pr.l -rie church". When a priest assumed the bearing of a man of the world, he lost the representative character for which his calling intended him. Following his personal remarks to the candidates, the deacons presented the two young men and testified to having examined them and found them ready for the work. Then followed the Episcopal ceremony of accepting and investing the priests. After this com munion was administered to the new rectors, and in turn to the bishop, clergy and congregation. During the services the choir sang McFarron's beautiful "O, Holy Gho.t." COLORED VOLTTNTEERS. Movement to Organize Companies ln the Twin Cities. Attorney F. L. McGhee ie Interested in a movement for tlie organization of a company of colored volunteers .in St. Pau\ He rec:i_d a letter from J. Frank Wheaton, of Minne paolls, yesterday, who wrote that he had official assurance that ln case of anc .her cell the colored men would be given a c ranee to go to the front and that too with colored men as the commissioned officers. When the first call for troops w_ issued, Mr. McGhee said, there were a number of colored men who wanted to enlist, but were not allowed to do so, as it was said they did not want any mixed companies. Now, how ever, there may be another chance, and the negroes of Minnesota are anxious for a chance to show they are ready and willing to fight for their country as well as the whito popula tion. A prominent colored man, who was down from Duluth yesterday, said there were probably enough men there to raise one com pany. Mr. McGhee says If there are not enough in St. Paul they can join with the Minneapolis organization to be formed. A meeting will be held ln St. Paul ln a day or two to talk the matter over. In Minneapolis the meeting was held last night in response to the call of J. Frank Wheaton. J. G. Sterrett presided and Wm. M. Smith was made secretary of the meeting. Addresses were made by Col. McCord, J. Frank Wheaton, Sergeant Harper, formarly in the regular army; John Olleson, J. Robinson, John Allison and W. M. Smith. It was the general expression of about seventy-five colored men present that if they are allowed to be officered by their own men thoy will volunteer. On these terms they think they can do something to prove the loyalty, valor and equal worth of the colored man, with the effect of lessening race prejudice. There were enlisted fifty-four men, on con dition that the company elect its own officers and be assigned to a colored regiment having its own officers. It ls expected that drill will begin at once at the armory, under the direc tion of Sergeant Harper.

Hnnpt Says It Will Re sult From This War. Rev. Alexander J. D. Haupt, pastor of the Memorial English Evangelical Lutheran church, delivered a patriotic lecture on "The Great Wars of the United States" at the church, on West Sixth street, near Ex change, last evening. Mr. Haupt first spoke of Old Glory, and said that although It had often been snatch ed from tho standard bearer and dragged in the dust, by the foe, that it always led to victory mr the end, and by so doing advanced the cause of humanity so many steps higher ln the plane of civilization. The speaker said that it appeared strongly to him as lf the life of this country had been divinely planned. From the discovery of America by Columbus, events had led to the existence of a great nation, a grand lana of liberty and freedom. The rush of the powers, after the discovery of this continent, to acquire territory ln the new world set tled the land quickly and produced a ming. ling of blood which Inflamed and fostered the spirit of liberty. The Germans in West Virginia, the Bwedes on the Delaware, the Dutch ln New Netherland, the French In the Southern colonies all mingled with the English of the New England coast and Vlr- ginia, helping to lay the foundation of this great nation. Mr. Haupt spoke of the petty wars, of the Indian conflicts, and of the Revolutionary war, the first great war or this country as a nation. He then recited the thrilling speech of Patrick Henry. "Is the emblem of our country, the glor ious flag of freedom a prophetical e_b!em," asked the speaker. "There were first thir teen stripes and thirteen stars; the stars have grown into a constellation of consider able magnitude. The stripes of blood red __?**_? _. ltn tne stripes of white make me ask, do the red stripes indicate the periods of war this country will go through, and the wWte stripes the periods of peaco?'' The sneaker elc.ed by saying that the Spanish war meant the further liberation of mankind. "Is it not astonishing," he asked, "that in the year 1898, in all the advancement of civ ilization such a condition of affairs still ex ists under our very noses which existed a hundred years ago?"
