The Tribune pays: "An Important rallr.md conference has been In progress In this oily for the last two days at the Waldorf-Astoria. M. F. Ingulls, president of tike Pig Four and Chceupeake A Ohio systems; Henry Fink, prvsidont of the Norfolk & Wrotero, and A. J. Cas satt, preeSiieoi of the Pennsylvania eyem, have aU been in atter-dunce. Juhn K. Cowaii, prosij-su of the Bal timore & Ohl3, te also said to have been present. One Important matter disposed of was the rue for hauling cowl for the coming year; but thte Is said to have bn only an Incident of the me-Ung. '"For somotlme It has been known that th Vandrblll-Morgan Interests were In control of the Uig Four and Chesapeake & Ohio. There have been persistant rumors, too, regarding a combination betwjen the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio systems nnu of these two roads with the Van derbilt fystems. A man usually well tnfoimed said that he had been given to understand that In the. near future a. great combination would be elected and tha( :h? following roads would be in It: T! N "The. Boston & Madt.e, which, as It own? the road, also meant the Maine Central north of Boston; the New York, JCew Haven & Hartford, which on account of its ultimate traffic re lationship with the Pennsylvania could not well aLand alouf, and the P-oston ti Albany, now controlled by the New York Central these roads practically covering the field of New England. "Besides thee the spaiker named the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore & Ohio, the C. 4 O., ihe Big Four, the Norfolk & Western, and the New York Central Bysftem, including the Ljke Shore & Michigan Suth-rr. and the Michigan Central, as well as the Nickel Plata and West Shore. He added that he was not informed as to what the eraot form of the combina tion would b? whether It wouU amount to actual cotul:da.Uoii cr not-but it would oertalnly be of such & nature as to prevent future comp trticn and a consequent cutting of freight and passenger rates. This, he thought, however, was only the be ginning and It was his conviction that other roads may be taken in lat?r, both in the south and weot. "Far two or three days there have been persistent rumors in Wall street that a railroad combination of the first magnitude was impending, but there has been mueih myttery as to the Ideniity of the roads concerned. "A year ago the New York Central Interests secured control of the Rut land railroad. The Rutland road Is Intimately connected wf'h. the Fitch burg and later the New York Central made overtures to.vard obtaining a Vease of the latiter propwy. These ne gotiations were not successful and the Central made an Arrangement where by It obtained control of the Riwton & Albany on a. kaig teas.

She should think once for herself, and once for the man who has chosen her for his life companion. If she is suffering from torturing, drag ring weakness or disease so prevalent with her sex, she has no right to answer " Yes " nntil her health is restored. If she does. she will be wretched and ill herself and her home will be an unhappy one. Vr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription is a scientific remedy that cures all weakness, disease, disorder and derangement of the delicate and im portant feminine organs. It is not a " cure all," but a medicine devised to correct this one class of disorders and no other. It has accomplished its purpose in tens of thousands of cases, as is shown by tens of thousands of testimonials of the grateful patients themselves. It imparts vigor and virility to the entire womanly organism, and is the best of all nerve tonics and re storative. It fits for wifehood and mother hood. It transforms weak, nervous, de spondent invalids into healthy, happy women. "I Vis so weiic i could scarcely walk about tbe house," writes Mrs. Msttie Scruggs, of Allen's Creek, Amherst Co., Va.

A special to the Tribune from Washington says: It Is pointed out at th state d;-part-rr.errt that the popular movement re ported In press dispatch from Bel gium, having in view a petition to President McKinley asking him to offer mediation to the be'llgerents in South Africa, Is altogether misdirected hnd exhibits a painful ignorance of the American policy of abstention from intruding ln matters which are ncna of this country's buslnefw. It Is suggested that such a petition could hava no direct influence in the direction of terminating hostilities !f it proposed to Induce the United States to take the Initiative toward securing an American cable settlement of the quirrel. Both belligeiunts are wlready pre urr.ably aware of the historical atti tude of the United States, tot crn- j sciotiuly shown as late as the war be tween China and Japan, in always b-?ing reidy to uw its gl otfics to avoid cr vi strife when th? Invitation comes from both disputants, not from one alone ar.l not from a mere out sider. Grat Britain and the ?outh African republics ara r.ware hat the president will accept promptly and with pleasure any sugg-:tlon of mediation that came from both of them, but up to this time. neither of th.e governments has given the Pliehtest intimation that it desires anything but strict neutrality from the United States. It is trU3 tha.t just before hostilities began, President St;yn, of the Orange Free State, through his consul general at New York, Mr. Pierce, desired the friendly intervention of President Mc Kinley in the hope of averring war, but no concurrent request of a similar nature came from England and the president therefore abstained from volunteering his good olfices where they apparently would have be-.-n un welcome. Since that time no suggestion of a desire to arbitrate or to put an end to fighting has been manifested, how ever guard5dly, to this government by the countries concerned and reports to the contrary are authoritatively chairactrlzed as false. It is probable that should Great Eritaln Indicate her wish to have the president attempt ia picefil solution of the difficulty, the American consul at Pretoria would promptly ask Presi dent Krugvr If he desired to unite in the request. This procedure g made possible by President Styen's earlier request and by the ata'.e department's deduction to 'receive General Obyme who was understood to be charged with powers from Pretoria -to ask for mediation in the event of England being willing to leave the dispute to arbitration. Offi cially, It is said, the United States cannot bring to the attention of the British government a Boer request for mediation, though it is not doubted that England would become aware of such a request as soon as It was made a nd ""would Immediately have an op portunity to make an Identical pro position.
