DETAILS CONFIRMED.
An Atchison Circular Describes the Terms
Upon Which the st. Louis and San
Francisco Deal Was Made.


Francisco Deal Was Made.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May 24.-The circular of
the Atchison describing the terms of the
San Francisco bargain confirms the de-
tails as given in these dispatches We'd
nesday. San Francisco preferred stock
is exchanged for Atchison in ratio of
oasSrare to one and three eighths, or
&Sout three to four; San Francisco COM
mon in ratio of one share to three
fourths of share, or about three to two.
This fairly represents the divergence of
the three stocks in the market price at
present. Atchison has issued S27 ,000,-
600 in new stock, to complete the bar
gain. OF this, S26 ,2S5, l75 will go for
stock and equities of the San Francisco;
the balance of S714 1925 will be held in
the Atchison treasury. ] and w. Selig
man, largest banking spec ialists in San
Francisco securities, state in circular
that they have exchanged all of their
holdings, on that basis. The kilograms
and their friends control a majority of
San Francisco stocks.
a Boston special says: 'H the
Atchlson ever got q more equitable
bargain than this Frisco pur-
chase in any OF its consultations
it has yet to be noted.
1t was originally Thomas Nickerson'
plan when the Atlantic and Pacific tri-
partite agreement was inaugurated years
ago that the Atchison should secure con-
troll of the st. Louis and San Francisco
railroad company. 1t was only upon
this understanding that the partnership
was entered into. The transaction was
not far from completion when the
AtcbIson changed captains and declared
stock dividend instead of completing
its system. For years it wobbled on
with various arrangements and no con-
tinuous policy, and it seems irony of fate
that 1t should have taken the practical
bankruptcy of the Atchison company to
return it to its original policy of IN
divided ownership and supreme indie
pendence, but 1t is there. 1t remains
only to be added that the manner of this
bargain and sale was q clean, clear cut
and beyond criticism. Negotiations be-
gan in April, soon after it was an
nounced that Huntington was seeking
control of the property and before Gould
had asked the price. They were sub
stsntially completed some weeks ago.
The president of the Boston stock ex-
change announced an increased capital |
stock of the Atchison, which is thereby |
placed on lists. -

Terrell Awaiting Results.

Special to the Gazette
TERRELL, Tex. May 24.-The railroad
committee was called on to-day and the
question was asked: "Have you res.
ceived any letter from railroad oosa1
mittee at Palestine or Athens within a
week." The party replied, eve have
not Then the following was put:
"Do any of you expect to receive propo-
sitions from Jacksonville soon?" The
reply was: "We are not prophets, and
cannot foretell human events. - The COM
mIttee has no idea but Palestine and
Athens will join them in any railroad
enterprise when properly approached.
In fact both places have intimated their
desire to cooperate with Terrell. But it
is known fact that letters to Athens
and Palestine remain unanswered, and it
is believed that Jacksonville would be
glad to assist in line of railroad from
that point to Terrell.

BASEBALL NOTES.

the Umpire.

No Game Yesterday-The Game To-Day-AbOut
the Umpire.
The heavy rain yesterday afternoon
came down before the Fort Worth and
Houston ball teams were able to COM
mence their game so the same was
postponed. There was evidence that an
immense attendance would have been OF
hand, for long before time of calling the
game the seats were pretty well filed up.
If the weather continues good, the
grounds will be in frst-class shape for
the game to-day.
Krehmeyer will umpire to-day. Yes
terday MoClosky said that Krehmeyer
did not care to work on this series
at Fort Worth, because his brother
was catching with the Houstons.
There was considerable kicking over
couple of decisions on Friday, but
Krehmeyer should not mind little thing
like that. There never was crowd at
game of ball that did not wish the home
team to be favored in all decisions. Al
together Krehmeyer Is generally given
credit for doing the best umplring that
has been seen in Fort Worth this
season.
Smith and Adams will be in the box
for Fort Worth to-day; France and
Krehmeyer for the Mud Cats.
With the atmosphere nicely cleared by
the rain of yesterday it appears as
though Leroy would have fine weather
for his balloon ascension this afternoon.
All the visiting ball players who have
played on the new grounds say they are
the best arranged of any in the state. b

to make the balloon ascension with Prs

LOST IN THE CALIFORNIA SAHARA

Chinees ImmigRants Wander Over the

San Diego special says: A morning paper
states that it has just como to light that
. party of Chinese who last week At
tempted to smuggle themselves into the

ert and had . terrible experience,
one Of the party dying Of thirst and ex-
posture. They found the frontier 50 closely
guarded that they stole to the eastwasd
and got into the desert Here they got
lost and wandered aimlessly around
for several days, suffering greatly.
One of the Mongolians was . youth
Of some IA years. He gave out under the
terrible suffering and became crazy. In
his rawlings he imagined the blistering sands
were limpid water, and eagerly filed
his parched mouth with the burn
ing particles. This only added to
his sufierings and he lay down to die. His
companions were in too pitiful . condition
to render him any assistance, and they
heaped . pile Of sand upon him and left
him while they continued their aimless wan
derin ses. They at last reached the railroad,
minus everything they had attempted TO
bring into the country except the clothing
upon their backs. They had even thrown
away the bundles containing large guam
tity of opium

HOW EsoUIMALT DOCK WAS BUILT


Contractor Paid Brides to Secure work
1T Big Prices.
QUEBEC. May IA sensation has been
created by charges which have been brought
against the government department. OF
public works presided over by Sir Hector
Langerin, and against Thomas Mc(irevey.
member of parliament, Hector's bosom
friend. McGAvey Is alleged to have re-
ceived nearly quarter OF million dollars
from government contractors in the shape
of commissions and for procuring informa-
ton respecting rival tenders, thus aiding
to buy out lower bidders aud obtain higher
prices for big contracts.
Publication of the matter is due to Q
family quarrel. The charges are made by
McGrevey's brother, Robert, who was
silent partner of Larkin, Connolly & Co.,
the contractors who constructed the
Quebec harbor work and the Esquimalt
dock in British Columbia Robert Nc
Grevey claimed that he himself paid his
brother $2i5. 900 for using his power as a
member OF parliament and his influence
with Sir Hector and the government to
furnish them with the prices of other bid
ders and then obtain them contracts. and
to have the government pay them o5 cents
per yard for dredging instead of 10 cents.
as promised by their contracts. The
charges cannot avoid being taken cogni-
sance of by the federal parliament. and
may contribute largely towards the over
throw Of Sir John McDonald's sdminissrs-
