To Withdraw from Texas.

SAN Francisco, CAL, July &C. p. Hunting
ton and Leland Stanford have decided to
withdraw the Southern Pacific railroad from
Texas. A law recently passed in the state pro-
vides that no railroad company operating roads
within its borders shall have any legal status
unless the principal office is located within the
state. The Southern Pacific officials say that
they could not do the latter, therefore the
three Texas and Louisiana roads that now form
part Of the Southern Pacific main line to
New Orleans will be operated hereafter as dis
tinct roads, with different sets of officers. The
general manager of the roads Julius Kruth-
schmidt, will remove from New Orleans TO
Houston, Tex. A. G. Huntington, formerly
general manager of the Atlantic system, will
remain president of the Morgan steamship COM
pany's line from New York to New Orleans.

New YORK, July 9.-Mr. Ethan Allen Rey-
nolds, who is making an expedition through
the grand canyon Of the Colorado, writes
to the Cosmopolitan Magazine that he and
his companions are having an exciting ex-
perience. He says: 1--WE started out with six
teen men and six boats. Two Of the boats were
smashed to bits in the water, and the other four
are in a wretched condition. We were nearly
three weeks making Fort Miles. We all lost
nearly everything we had and there is not a
whole suit of clothing on any one man in the
entire outfit Some Of the men are shoeless.
The river is terrible"
Mr.. Reynolds lost many Of his personal be-
longings. including his manuscripts and diary.
A number of photographs taken by the party
were, however, saved. In his letter Mr.. Rev.
nolds stated that the party was about to post
on again to Lees ferry, 170 miles. The grand
canyon is almost totally unexplored the only
man who ever succeeded in making the passage
of this wild country being Major Powell of the

Public Printer Palmer's Callers,

To-day was one of Public Printer Palmer'a
busy days. Mr.. Palmer has six of these in each
week, but this was one of the days when he
lends an ear-two ears-to the plaintive petit
tions Of those who desire position and salary.
The long corridor which leads from the North
Capitol street entrance down to the public
printers Office was crowded with anxious hu.
manity from as early as 9 o'clock until after.
noon. Some of the callers were male and some
were female, but all were hopeful and few
were positive. The greater portion of the
crowd was made up of those who were once on
the rolls of the office, but who succumbed to
MIR. Benedict's snickersnee; now they want to
be reinstated.

THE STRIKE IN DULUTH.
Business at Standstill and All Waiting
for Developments.

DULUrH, MINI, July 9.-Business in Duluth
was at standstill all day yesterday and the
streets crowded with men anxious to read the
latest bulletins regarding the strike. At noon
excitement aroused by fear had gone to such a
pitch that about 100 Of Duluth's best business
and professional men met in the board Of
trade, chose officers and formed themselves
into a volunteer auxiliary police force. Then
for an hour they drilled on the board Of trade
floor. They will be furnished with rifles when
ever necessary, but it is not likely that there
will be any further trouble, as the military, po-
lice and sherifrs contingent can take care Of
everything. Tom Fitzsimmons and Mat Mack
died yesterday, making three strikers dead all
told. Peterson cannot live many hours longer.
Zan, Frenchman, who was wounded in the
head, is also expected to die. The gas and
water company was the only concern to put
men to work yesterday, and these were un-
molested. Work on other contracts will be
delayed for some days by the heavy rains.
