The Story Is Untrue.

CHICAGO, Sept. ia railroad man whose
position probably enables him to speak by
the card, says there is no foundation for
the report that the Atchison has obtained
control of the Denver q Rio Grande. He
asserts that tn ere is not even traffic agree
ment between them. 1.-THE Burlington has
expended more than $1,000,0O0 IN right-of-
way and the occupation of canons through
Colorado 30 as to be ready when the time
comes to extend its line to Salt Lake.
Should the Rio Grande form an alliance
with the Atchison, such a line would be
built. The only thing between the two
companies" he concluded, sis a settlement
of the dispute over the old contracts con-
cerning the Colorado Midland"

HIS UNWILLING VICTIM.

Some New Developments In the Romantic
Adams Ontgoinerv Case.
WOODLAND, CAL, Sept. 1s.-Experts who
have examined tho letter left by May
Adams, who was shot and killed Wednss-
day night by j. B. Montgomery who then
committed suicide, declare that the letter
was written by Montgomery. The letter
was addressed to the young lady's mother.
and purported to be her dying statement,
to the effect that she was married to Mont
pomery by contract and that they agreed to
die together because the girls father inter
fered with their happiness. The decision
of the experts as to the letter goes to con-
flrm the public in the opinion that the girl

Lands in Oklahoma to Be Thrown Open
Next Tuesday--Warning to
tho Boomers. #

WASHINGTON, Sept. 49, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, British minister, has officially called
the attention of the United States to vio-
lation of the terms of the modus vivendi in
effect between the two countries as to the
catoh of seals in Bering sea. BY the agree
ment between the two countries the North
American Commercial company, which
leases the seal islands from the United
States, is restricted in it's catch of seal this
year to 1000 skins. II is alleged that the
commercial company has exceeded tn ID
catch, thus violating the mOdus vivendl,
and the British government has called tho
United States to account for it. Special
Agent Williams, of the treasury depart
ment, has forwarded his report to-day TO
the state department with the request
that it's contents may be laid
before the British minister for transmission
to the foreign office in London. The report
cannot be accurately ascertained, but 1t le
understood that he makes the admission
that the North American Commercial Co.
has exceeded the limit Of the catch of 1900,
fixed by the modus vivendl. The matter is
regarded as quite important and may lead
to the modus viyendi being declared in
operative after this date.
Late Yesterday afternoon Commissioners
Mendenhall and Melain, who we're sent to
Bering sea to examine and report concern
ing the condition of the seals and fshe ries
there, had conference with President Har-
rison. They declared a stop must be put to
killing seals in the open sea for several
years, if it is desired to perpetuate this
species of fur-bearing animal.
A government official, VINO is familiar
with the Bering sea question, in speaking
this afternoon of the complaint made by
Sir Julian Pauncefote that this government
had violated the modus vivendl in regare
to the killing of seals, said that the ques-
tion was on the construction of the treaty
Of June Is, 1891, which allowed the Nortl
American Commercial company to TAXI
1880 seals. The treaty went into etfec
June Is, to expire May 2, 1892, and tn
question is whether the company was to b.
allowed to take $500 seals after June 15, o
whether the treaty allowed the capture o
| this number of seals during the entir
season. which went into effect before tn
treaty was signed. The official said n
trouble need be anticipated in settling tn
difficulty.
