WASHINGTON, March 3.-Wnhe it ia
not true, as has been reported that Sena-
tor Vance, Of North Carolina, went to
Detroit on purpose to persuade Senator
Jones, OF Florida, TO return to the Senate,
1t is true that on his way home from Ann
Arbor, where he had gone TO address tie
students in the law school of Michigan
University, he stopped in Detroit long
enough to see Senator Jones and urge his
return TO Washington. Senator Jones
peremptorily refused to return with Mr..
Vance, or to say when he would return.
He told Senator Vance that he wanted nd
advice about his affairs. He considered
| himself entirely competent to direct them

NICKnRsoN & 90. ASSIGN.
The Boston and Savannah Steamship
Company Not Affected by the Failure.

The Boston and Savannah Steam ship
Company Not Affected by the Failure.
NEW YORK, March "a Boston special
says; "F. W. Nickerson & Co., large I'M
porters, West India traders, and cOmmls-
sion merchants, who have been in busi-
ness between forty and fifty years, au-
nounced their failure to-day, assigning to
Joseph b. Russell, confidential empl0ye.
Their liabilities are S600, 200 direct aud
100000 indirect, and their nominal assets
are good. The firm is agent OF the Boston
and Savannah Steamship Company, which
is not affected at all. The Eastern
steamship line, running TO points in the
provinces, is owned in great part by the
firm, and is therefore affected 10y the fail
ure. The cause of the assignment is the
general dullness of the business in which
the firm is engaged. The firm is composed
of Frank W. NickersoD, Alfred A, Nicker-
son, e. G. Crosby"
THE LIABILITIES.
BOsToN, March 3.--The direct liabili-
ties Of H. w. Nickerson & Co. are given at
between $780, and 100000. The in-
direct obligations are about $500 900. The
assets are not known at present. The
firm state that the Savannah line is not
affected by the failure, but that the
DOebOD, ddIllaA anu ATincG EOWhIu
Island line Is somewhat involved.
Nothing definite can yet be stated about
the assets. They include West Indian
and other foreign interests and invest
ments, which 1t will take a long time TO
develop. The Indebtedness Of the firm is
chiefly to National bauks, or time notes
with collateral. The members Of the
firm are Fred. W. and Alfred X. Nicker-
son and E. c. Crosby. The firm succeeded
the old house OF +. NicEerson & Co.
CAUSE OF THE FAILURE,
The causes of the failure are manifold.
The first blow affecting the credit of the
firm was the wreck OF the City OF COlum-
bus, Of the Savannah line, two years ago.
The firm has also become involved in gen-
eral business depression. They have
dealt largely in hemp, sugar and other
staple goods on commission, and also in
direct trade. It is impossible TO make
any statement about the probable relation
OF the assets to the liabilities. The settle
ment viii llineVitably require a long time,
but the members of the firm hope that
with careful nursing the assets will yield
a very good dividend to the creditors.
The creditors named in the assignment
filed attheoftice of the Register Of Deeds
are AdeIine +. NickarsOn, Adellne N.
Parker. Priscilla S. Niekerson, ROberman,
Powell d Co., @. A.eCampbell, l. and G. Il.
Penrock & Co.

PACIFIC I4ArH WARS.
Denver and Bio Srande Again takes a
Hand In the Fight.


NEW YORK, March 3.--Railroad men
were much surprised thss morning TO
learn that The Denver and Rio Grande
railroad had re-entered the freight rate
fight and had announced its desire to car
Ty freight at the same rates as charged
by the Sunset line. 1t is understood that
the Denver line took this step because the
Central Pacific railroad had Or
dered that the arbitraries. which
have been charged the Denver
line from Ogden to San Francisco
heretofore, be removed. Such an order
would put the Denver on the same foot
ing as the AtchisOn. so far as San Fran
cisco business is concerned.
BUT LITTLE FREIGHT TO BE HAD.
1t is said by some that the movement is
more startling In appearance than in fact,
because there is very little freight to be
had, and what there is the sunset line Is
more than likely to- get because there
seems to be no limits to its cutting ability.
1t seems to be part Of great scheme to
squeeze Atchison. Heavy California
shippers com plain about the war because
they say they have stocked up heavily at
the old rates, and the new rates being so
very low small merchants instead of buy
ing OF Pacific coast wholesalers buy in
New i OIk ana uHIlefbtlt buS utdNy men

EFFECT ON PASSENGER RATES.
There was much speculation as TO what
effect on west-bound passenger rates the
news that emigrant tickets were being
sold at $12 80 from San Francisco to the
Missouri river and S17 TO st. Louis and
Chicago would have, 1t was pT0phesied
that there would be a cut from the NJ is
souri, river to San Francisco to correspond
with this rate by fighting roads. Official
information confirms the report that Com
missioner Cannon had ordered the Pacific
mail out of the fight.
Commissioner Mldgely of the South
western Traffic Association Is said TO DO
consulting with the executive committee
of the trunk lines at Commissioner Fink's
office to-day. While every person ex-
poets that the trunk line executive COM
mittee will refuse TO prOrate or have any
thing to do with the TranscOntinental
fight, yet they are extremely anxious 10
learn the result of to-day's meeting.
AN AGREEMENT AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, March 3.--An informal meet
ing OF the lines that composed the Pacific
Coast Association was held here to-day.
The present disturbed condition OF the
transcontinental freight traffic was freely
discussed, and it was agreed that for the
present Chicago lines should act In uni
son, and bill all freight at 80 per cent. Of
the old tariff. For some time past they have
been engaged in scramble for freight.

To-day begius the third week of the emf

has passed when good thing can be
counted on for only weeks patronage in
this city. 1t is probable that in no other
city IN the country, except New York,
could light opera have run of three
weeks at this season Of the year. Wash.
ington people appreciate good music aud
the thermometer must reach very high
altitude to keep them from the theatre,
wh,re they can hear good music.
For three evenings this week that anus
ing opera "Prlnce Methusalem" will be
sung at Albaugh's on the other evenings
'The Chimes of Normandy" with Nj
William Pruette IN the leading male role,
will be presented. Both operas are de-
servedly popular. They are illustrative OF
two distinct schools of light opera, the
'Prince" having the glitter and dazzle
popular on the modern stage, while 1t
abounds In catchy songs, while "The
Chimes" has some Of the most beautiful
melodies ever written, and which will never
