Rothwell Ahead in the Race.

Levy Courtman Geo. G. Rothwell of
Blackbird Hundred, who takes the
1928 train daily to attend the sessions
Of the court in Wilmington, came rid
ing through town yesterday morning
ip a sleigh, with the merry jingle Of
bells for music. The snow was only
an inch or two deep, but the heaviest
of the season. The very fact that be
seizes hold of opportunities SO readily
would indicate that bis competitors for
the the Democratic nomination of
Sheriff Of New Castle county will fnd
in him no mean "hnstler" for the
stakes next June. He has evidently
got the start Of them on a sleigh ride
(for it can safely be wagered that not
one of the others thought of starting
out OF en- inch Of snow, and if George
doesn't pull up Ghead on the home
stretch, then we shall be mistaken.

HARRTSON'S SILVER POLICY
The Administration Eavbrs Windows
silver Bullion Scheme.

New YORK, Jan. 6.-According to &
Washington special the president has
made up his mind about Sec. Window S
recommendation that the government ac-
cept silver bullion and issue certificates to
serve as currency.
President Harrison goes even further
than Sec. Window in his approval OF the
project. He is impressed with its eco
nomic principle as sound; believes in its
beneficent effect upon the prosperity OF
tie country, and regards it as a brilliant
sted toward determination OF the silver
problem.
So much he has not hestated to say,
and there is little doubt that he will ex-
press the opinion in communication to
congress at an early day, or he may deter
mine to make his opinion known III some
other way.
A bill embodying the recommendations
of the secretary will be submitted to con-
gress very soon, and is likely to be offered
simultaneously in both houses. It's fate
in the house OF representatives is problem
atical There is little doubt but that a
majority of the Republican senators and
some of the Den ocratic members OF the
senate favor the bill, and it is likely first
to pass that body.
Philadelphia.-The New York CORE
spondent OF the Press has the following:
"Quite a number OF the members OF
congress have been spending the holidays
in this city, and they brought with them
some news which confirms impressions
prevailing among fnanciers for few
days past. One of the best informed men
in regard to these matters said to me to-
night that there was no doubt that Win
dom had received assurances from ma
jority of the Republican senators that
they would support bill embodying his
recommendations regarding silver"

SANTA FEE CONSOLIDATION,
Reorganization of the Sy stem with A. Z &.
Robinson as G. nerai Manager.

| DENVER, January G.-The Times pub
fishes the following: From reliable
! sources the Times is advised that the re-
organization scheme Of the new Atchison.
| Topeka & Santa Fe management, which
| has caused 50 much talk and speculation
| in railroad circles for several months
past, has been perfected, with A. A. Rob-
lnson as second vice president and gen
eral manager. The lines embraced in
the consolidation are the Chica!o, Santa
fe 4 California, the AtchisUn, Topeka 4
Santa Fe, the st. Joseph, st. Louis d
Santa Fe, the Chicago, Kansas & Vest
ern, the NJ Manhattan, Alma 4 Burlingame,
the New Mexico d Arizona, the Sorona
River, the Southern Kansas of Texas,
and the Rio Grande q Ell Paso, all OF
which lines will be under one general
management, of which Mr.. Robinson is
the head, and with headquarters at Chi
cagO.
The consolidation will be known as the
Atchison, Topeka 4 Santa Fe, under the
general tile OF the Santa Fe system and
embraces over 5000 miles OF roadbed and
equipment, making by far the largest rail-
way system in the world. Circulars have
been issued announcing that all tickets
viii hereafter be issued and all freight
billed in the name OF the Atchi, on, Tope-
ka d Santa Fe, and all reports will be
made direct tn the new general headquar-
ters of the system ut ChiragO.
The work of carrying out the details of
this gigantic scheme has already been
commenced in changing the inscription
on the rolling stock of the various
branches to "Atchison, Topeka q Santa
Fe, and this will be continued as rapidly
as possible until every car and engine be-
longing to the consolidation is so decorat'
ed All stationery supplies for the new
year also bear the title of the Santa Fe."
The consolidation scheme also includes
many extensive and important improve
ments in the management of the system,
as we'll as additions to the equipment OF
the lines. One of the first cities to reap
the benefits Of this move is Denver, and
the first item is the putting on of four
new Pullman sleepers betN cen this place
and Kansas City. The first of these ar
rived in the city late yesterday afternoon.
These cars are veritsble palaces on
wheels, and are said by the Pullman
company to be by far the finest sleepers
ever turned out OF their shops. Other |
extensive Improvements in the equip
ment are contemplated, but the manage
ment is not yet prepared to announce
them publicly.

PATHS Business.

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-The season of Ital-
ian opera which closed at the Auditorium
Saturday afternoon was the most memo
rable in the history of famusements in Chi
cago. Since the dedication of the mag
nifirent opera house four weeks ago there
have been twenty-one performances, and
the gross receipts of these and the dedi-
cation ceremon es amounted to $232 ,954.
1t is believed these figures exceed any
record in the history of amusements in
this country, and the receipts for the last
week were the largest. Patti appeared
this afternoon in Barber of Seville" in
q farewell performance. The audience
that greeted her was the largest of the
season, and fully 1000 people were turned
away.
The company left tonight for the City
Of Mexico, and will open three weeks

New YORK, Jan. GA Toronto spe-
cial says that the separate school election
for trustees which took place on Wednes-
day is causing much comment in Canada.
The Roman Catholic Clergy opposed the
use Of the ballot for the election of trus-
tees for their schools, and all who offered
themselves for election on Il ballot plat
form were defeated. Several priests were
returned as trustees, defeating men who
were in favor of the ballot. Against the
return of one Of these, Father Gibbons,
his defeated opponent entered protest
on the ground of undue influence by the
priests.
A local paper says that the voters in
this election are under as complete sys-
tenn of pressure and terrorism as any
peasant ever was.

A Fight Will Follow.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-The government has
received intelligence of the safety OF
Johnston, British consul at Mozambique,
who is travelling throu!h the interior of
Africa, and who is charged by the Portu-
guese papers with having intrigued with
the natives against the Portuguese in the
territory along the Shire river Johnston
has pacfied Karranger and subsidized
Kotahola, and has by treaty secured
western Nyanza to the British. The
Portuguese reached katungas, where the
remaining Makololos, trusting to British
protection, refused to snrrenderthe British
flags that had beer presented to them
when called upon to 90 so by the Portu-
guese commander. The Portuguese there
upon again searched the steamers and
compelled them to lower their ensign.
Fighting in Africa is believed to be
certain.

On a Tour or Inspection.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 6.-Allen Marvel
president of the Santa Fe system, accom-.
panied by General Manager A. A. Robin
son, Traffic Manager J. A. Hanley, Gen.
ATTY. George R. Peck, arrived in the
city yesterday in special train, and left
soon after for tour of inspection of the
Indian territory and Texas lines. Pres
ident Marvel feels gratifed at the large
business being done by the Santa Fe
system, and hopes to make good show
ing in the increased earnings of the road.
Notwithstanding the fact that the road
is doing largely increased business the
expenses are being constantly reduced,
President Marvel says the Santa Fe
road has been a great sufferer from the
car famine. The yards at Chicago are
now blockaded with loaded cars which
eastern roads are unable to release He
thinks that the prospects for continua.
ton of large business are exceedingly
bright.

The Ohio Senatorial Contest.

COLUMBUS, January, 4.-The senatorial
contest was in great measure covered
to-day by legislative caucuses for the Sc
lection of officers of both branches. 1t is
claimed quite generally that the caucus
nominations are in the interest of Brice
for senator to the extent that his friends
have been recognized The niidates
themselves are making no positive claims,
further than that the Rrice men profess
themselves satisfied with the situation
and are not aggressive toward other can
didates.
Some prominence is being given the
nonresident theory against Brice, and
there is some talk of bolt from the eau
Gus in case Brice is nominated, but these
reports can not be traced to any reliable

Much Gold on the Coast.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The secretary Of
the treasury in letter to Treasurer Austen
says that he is advised that the amount of
gold coin in the vaults of the subtreasury
at San Francisco is now in excess SAL, :
900, 900, and that the total accumulations
OF all kinds of money in that office is up
wards of $4,000, 900, which amount, he
says, is far greater than the requirements
of government for that locality. In order
that there may be better distribution Of
the assets of the government, he suggests
the transfer of about $4,000. .0OU in gold
coin from the San Francisco office to the
New York Office on the best obtainable
terms, say % cents per $1,000 The de-
tails of transfer are left to the treasurer's
discretion.
