Young Texans.
Ell PAso, Tex, May 2S.-Several days
ago Leon Barlow and M. Goudin, two
prominent young men, had hot words
over the latter's attention to Bari ow' s
sister. The affair was patched up, and
nothing m9rc thought abO,.t il until last
night, when the two met in front of the
Gem theater, when Goudin pulled gun
and shot Barlow twice, one ball passing
through his lungs and the other through
his liver. The wounded man died four
hours after. Goudin fired the first shot.
The firing became general among the
crowd which gathered in front of the
theater, and three disinterested parties
were slightly wounded. The dead man g
father is Colonel Barlow, retired ban
ker, of Fort Worth, Texas. Goudin and
one of his companions were arrested and
charged with murder. Both Barlow

THE GOULD FREEZE-OUT
1t Means that the Canadian Pacific Has
CorralIed the PACIFIC Mail.

New YORK, May 2S.-The Post says:
1t is the impression in the street that
the Canadian Pacific has secured control
of the Pacific Mail, and that its interests
are represented in the new board. I'm
doubtedly the object of the Canadian
Pacific was to prevent the consumma-
ton of a trade between the Northern
Pacific and George Gould, providing
for the running OF steamers to
Tacoma. This may result in
the establishment of another steamship
line, but this is deprecated by E. Oakes,
who believes the proper solution of the
question lies in the consolidation of the
Pacific Mail, Oriental and Occidental
and Canadian Pacific lines and the rec
ognition of Tacoma by a monthly or
semi-monthly steamer to and from that
port. An arrangement of this kind
would give San Francisco, Tacoma and
Vancouver all the China and Japan SER
vice they need.
