The Seattle Post Intalligencer saws there
is great probability that the Union Pacific
and Great Northern railroads will join IN
tho construction of . road from Seattle to
Portland. judging by the expressions of
opinion of officials Of both roads. While
no definite steps have been taken toward
such combination, there is an evident
readiness to enter into it. At present both
companies are at work in dead earnest on
the construction of separate lines. The
Union Pacific is at work at points all along
the line between the Columbia river
and Olympia, is preparing its ter
minals in Seattle and Is securing
right of way between Seattle and Tacoma.
The Great Northern has nearly completed
its surveys and secured its right of way,
and the engineers have orders to push the
work ahead. 90 that construction may be-
gin this fall. Yet they realize that three
roads, including the Northern Pacific, are
not likely to find paying business in the
3ection between Olympia and Portland for
several years to come. Both the Union Pa
cific and Great Northern are determined to
fight the Northern Pacific in its own terri
tory, but they have no motive for fighting
one another, and each could bring the
Northern Pacific to terms quite "a eHectu-
ally and at less expense by uniting with the
other than by building an independent
line.

THE ILLINOIS sENAToRsHIP.

Chairman Jones of the State Gem
trail Committee to Contest the Seats
of Five Democratic State Senators.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-Chairman Jones of
the republican state central committee
gave notice tonight that the right of five
democratic state senators-elect to sit in the
legislature would be contested. This is
the latest maneuvre in the fight for the
United States senatorship. The no
tees were withheld until the last moment
allowed by law, the motive for
delay being, it is understood, to avoid stir
ring up the democrats to possible repris-
ais. The state senator's upon whom notice
was served are Noonan of the First dis
trict, Caldwell of the Tirty- ninth, Arnold
of the Fifteenth, Dawkins of the Seven
tenth and Coppinger, Forty first. Gene
raj charges of buying voters with money
and promises of Office in the organiza
| ization of the general assembly are thu
| main grounds set forth for the contests
| except as to Dawkins, who is alleged to b.
| Ineligible because of foreign birth. Witt

i there is o controversy raised as to an ever
half dozen democratic seats and a pal
of republicans. The legislature is al
most evenly divided on joint ballot
with three Farmers alliance men appar
emily holding the balance of power. Tn
ayowed candidates so far are General Johl
M. Palmer, dem, and Charles B. Farwell
the present incumbent. The struggl
promises to be fully as fierce and senss
tional as the memorable one in which tn
late General John A. Logan defeated WI

for the Defense - Dr.
Draper ON the Effects OF Gunshot
wounds.
Z Dover, N. H., Dec. M.-The Sawtell
case was resumed to-day. DR.. Frank 81.
Draper of Boston, professor Of medicine at
Harvard, was called by Attorney General
Barnard. He testified that he made near
ly seventy-five autopsies and 275 to 300
post mortem examinations q year. He had
repeatedly examined persons who died
from gunshot wounds and he stated that
the liability of bleeding is very small. A
wound entering the left side and passing
backwards would not necessarily be fatal
Some hemorrhage would probably show
itself at the mouth or nostrils. 1t would
| be thrown out, assuming that the man had
| his consciousness. He said a bullet pass
| ing through the heart would cause imme-
| date Inconsistencies. He did not think
there would be any bleeding from the
| mouth or nostrils, and that transportation
of body in small space would not neces-
sarily produce blood on the carriage. He
. thought, from the testimony of others
that three hours elapsed between death
and decapitation of the body. Dr.
i Hamm was recalled. He said this body
L
set in when it was decapitated and tina
the cutting was consistent with the theor,
that the man had been dead for hours
The same appearance of retraction Of tn
skin would have been apparent had tn
I head been cnt off two hours after death
and though the body was carried some dis
lance there might have been little oSsn
i bleeding. Cross examination Of these vii
nesses produced nothing new. Sewers
. witnesses testified in confederation Of pre-
vious statements and in contradiction G
