AN EXPRESS WAR.
a Very Lively Time Between the Midland.
Wells-Fargo, the Rio Grande and Santa Fe.

DENVER, Colo, May 15.-TSpecial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. - About two
months ago the Midland road made con
tract with the Denver & Rio Grande ex-
press Tor the transaction of express busi-
ness on Its route and ousted Wells. FARGO
1t was alleged then that this move was
made TO prevent Wells, Fargo from seeur-
ing direot service between here and Salt
Lake, thus giving them transcontinenta,
route in addition to their present one nv
the Santa Fe road To-day the contract
went into effect and lively time occurred
at the depot. The Midland train from here
to Colorado Springs runs over the Santa Fe
tracks and Wells, Fargo's men, backed nv
the Santa F'e officials, insisted that the ey-
press matter must be in charge of Wells
Fargo's men. The depot master reinforced
them and insisted that the train should not
leave except on the Santa Fe track. The
hloi Grande officials promptly rendered the
use OF their track, which the others triea to
prevent by force, but the Rio Grande came
on victorious and the train got away via
the Rio Grande track. AS the Midland has
"a contract to run its trains TO Snring
junction over the Santa Fe track and the
Santa te road has contract to have only
wells, Fargo's goods, it is probable that
the dance will be repeated tomorrow. All
the interested officials have been busily
0raclng themselves to-day for a continua-
ion of the picnic.

NEW YORK, May 15.-More facts regard
ing the stealings of young Bob Wallace
nephew of the veteran editor of Urallnee,

young Wallace has not only gambled away
large sums OF money, but that he has beer
IN partnership with notorious book
maker, In whose favor he has drawn MANY
large checks against Editor Wallace,s bank
account. Wallace and the bookmaler
whose real name is believed to be r r

The weight of evidence now tends 70
snow that Bob Wallace's fall was due to
backing books at Clifton and other winter
race tracks, and that the Lowitz was the
evil genius who first lured him to steal and
then drove him by threats of exposure to
continue his thefts. When the pair sailed
for Havana Bob Wallace is believed to
have had $4,000 in cash. Several bond
transactions, aggregatfng nearly that

VANISHING DAY AT THE SALON.
The Gay Scene in the Champ de Mars-M Nelson

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch. !
PARIS, May 15.-TBy cable to the New
York Herald. diminishing day at the Salon
National in the Champ de Mars was a de-
clded success. The toilets were not re-
markable, not up to the average of Grand
Prix day at Longchamps or Auteuil but
they were in perfect accord with the pic,
lures about them. They were simple, grace
1nI and artlstlc The favorite colors were
SILVER gray, dove and chestnut, and there
was not false blending in color or tones
IN any single toilet. 1t was almost impos.
slDle to get within six yards of Meissonier's
Napoleon at jena" The picture was al
most taken by storm, and guardian had to
stand IN front OF it to prevent those in
front from being pushed bodily against the
canvass.
A work much admired was Ward Jean
Beraud's Sale de Roulette at Monte
carlo, and the verdict today was that this
hlghly colored picture of gambling in its
oIign9eso ana most seductive aspect was
effective and very cleverly done.
Among those who attended the salon
were Minister Whitelaw Reid. Mime. Car

Mrs John Munroe, the latter in hand
