A VARIETY OF WEATHER.

The weather during the day was extra
ordinary. Immediately after the morning
storm the sun came out bright and clear
and remained SO until afternoon, when it
commenced to storm again. This was fol-
lowed by clear weather early in the even

dazzling brightness. At 11:45 pm. it had

LIKES THE CHANGE,
G. +. Huntington Satisfied With the
New Management.

New YoRK, Dec. 1.-C. +. Huntington
was asked to-day how far he was inter
ested with Gould in securing control Of
the Union Pacific and said he hardly
knew how to answer as he had but few
thousand shares of Union Pacific.
"Gould's control of the Union Pacific
affects my interests in other roads fa-
vorably. As a man OF great ability with
large holdings, the Union Pacific will be
more likely to pursue u conservative
course than II there were multitude of
shareh olders, and the road ofilcered by
men of small or no holdings of properties.
The controlling of the rates has been so
cut down by transportation companies
controlled by mon who had no owner
shi ip in them that many com panies be-
came nearly bankrupt. | am quite sure
the public is satisfied with the rates. as
far as freights were too low, and would
like to see rates established that would
give fair returns to the owners of the
property"
AS to the real meaning of Adams res
ignation and remarks in his address,
Huntington saw nothing but that there
had been IA change In the ownership,
and that the New York owner would
like to have a New Yorker us president.
Adams was an abe man, but didn't un-
derstand the manage ment Of a railroad
like the Union Pacific as well as the
present president.
Huntington thought the change in
management would help to solve the
Western rate problem, as wei. as bring
the owners more directly into the man.
agement than heretofore. He was quite
sure the Union Pacific would work well
with the other tranScontinental COM
panles to make rates that will return
something to the owners of the proper
ties. The owners OF all great railroads
west Of Chicago had become satisfied
something must he done to prevent
rate cutting, or their properties would
be vaiueless. Rate cutting was almost
as hard 20 the majority who use tho
roads as to the owners, for rates cut
benefit few who ship large quantities.

the AMENpMENT CARRIED.

LoSpoS, Nov. 27.--.In the commons
to-day Spencer asked the government
that, In view of the recent financial
crisis, he would introduce bill to
amend the bank act by providing for
the issue OF { 1 notes.
Balfour introduced an Irish land bill.
He said the government policy was the
same rs In 1850, but for simplicity the
bill had been cut in half Both por-
tions, however, are practically the Same
as In the bill of 1850. One variation Of
the present bill from that of last year
was that 1t met in some degree ParnelPs
views in regard to the privilege of pur'
chase. IL included all purely grazing
farms, and farms whose tenants did not
reside ON them. The limit of twenty
years purchase, objected to at the last
session, had been removed.
In regard to increasing the power OF
the local authorities, Baliour said It
would be absurd to leave tho comtnuni'
ties under the Indictment of agitators to
determine whether they should adopt a
remedy going to the root of ugratian dis
content. If they were to give local con.
troll In any form 1t ought to be by piebis'
cite of rate payers, enabling them. under
the safeguards OF tho ballot. to vote up
on the question OF granting contingent
portion of the guarantee fund Tor each
county.
Labouchere moved an amendment
against pledging the imperial credit for
the purchase OF land until the country
should give consent.

CONCORD, n. H., Dec. "A special
session of the New Hampshire legisla-
ture began to-day. The gallery was
thronged with ectators, attracted by
the extraordinary public exigency which
requires the special session. The sub.
ject of the qualification OF members was
referred to the, judiciary committee
This reference is understood to mean
that q compromise has bee effected by
which the session may be speedily ter
minated.
The house judiciary committee to-
night voted to recommend that twelve
democrats and ten republicans be
stricken from the roll OF the house, four
on account of duties. seven because they
are federal appointees, ten Tor change of
residence, and one because OF a judicial
appointment.
The question of the eligibility of the

enumerators will be decided to. morrow.

A REPORTER DETECTIVE.
He Unraveis u Sensational Case tho
Police Had Dropped.

New YORK, Dec. 2.-Perren II. sum
ner, Broadway real estate speculator.
who gained considerable notoriety in
connection with the mysterious suicide
OF man who registered at the Getty
house, Gonkers, as George Smith wis
arrested to-day charged with forgery.
The prisoner identified the suicide as
his friend, james Hedgar, u wealthy
chemist. The police. after thoroughly
investigating the matter at the time,
came to the conclusion that it was a
scheme TO defraud som life insurance
company, and, satisfied that they had
thwarted it, dropped the matter.
A reporter named George II. Phoebus,
however, kept at work on the mystery,
and as the result of his investigation
sumner was to-day arrested. 1t seems
that Edgar owned property worth $780,
600, and Sumner, after the suicide, made
a proposition to Lawyer Turner to
draw up will, of which Sum
ner was to be the executor and
to receive 10 per cent of the fortune.
The lawyer rejected the proposition, but
afterward, upon the solicitation of the
reporter, Phoebus, introduced later TO
sumner, the will Was drawn up by
Turner. 1t was in signing the will that
Sumner committed forgery.
Nothing can be found OF Edgar but 1t
is quite possible that he was the man
who was seen ut Yonkers. Who that
mysterious person is has not yet been
learned.
The Suspicion is that L lgar is fugu-
tive from justice from England, and the
police surmise he was III tho dark con-
cerning the bogus will, and that Sumner
who was willing to resort to forgery,
intended to murder Sumner
at the time of the suicide told about by
Edgar's nephew.

A NEW COMBINE.
1t Is to Embrace All Roads West of

New York, Dec. 2.-According to the
World one OF the prominent leaders in
the proposed western road association
thus outlines its scope: 1t Is proposed

present of the associations west of Chi
cago and st. Louis. The new associa-
ton is to embrace all roads west of ST.
Louis and Chicago TO the Pacific coast
and continue not less than five years.
The association is to have q general
manager or commissioner. with such
assistance as may be agreed upon or
found necessary. That association will
regulate through tariffs, its management
to be on competitive business, the con.
duct of the outside agencies for the pro-
curing of tariffs, rs well as routing over
their respective roads in such amount,
manner and positions as may be agreed
upon between the members.
During the existence of the agreement
members OF the association must not
construct any new railway lines that
might compete in local territory OF with
the business OF another association, at
least without the consent of the parties
to he affected. A board of arbi tration
will be named, to which all questions
shall be finally referred for arbitration
where parties can not agree between
themselves,

the fact that there are not very many
