soUTnERN RAILWAY PLANS.


Consultations Proposed 60 Give Ksnsas
Texas Seaboard Outlets.
KANSAS Cry, Feb 15-The Times tomor-
row will say: President Nettleton, Of the
Kansas City, Fort Scott 4 Memphis rail-
way, has determined to carry out the plans
which have been under consideration for
some time past contemplating con-
solidation of tho Memphis with the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas. The plan
also contemplates the purchase by the
consolidated roads of the Missouri d Kan
sas, to be built through Kansas from To-
peka, Kan, to Bonneville, Mo-, the present
north terminus OF the Missouri, Kansas d
Texas. This would give the latter line an
entrance into the terminal facilities in
Kansas City, and would at the same time,
by means of traffic arrangement with
the Burlington from Bonneville, make the
shortest road to Chicago.
Another of President Nettleton's plans,
which the Times says is to be carried out
independently, is providing an independ-
ent line for the Memphis, from Birming-
ham, Ala, to the seaboard. The first step
when President Sporta of the Georgia,
Florida e. Southern, and Macon Biz
mingham bought the Covington Il Macon
road. The next step is the consolidation
of the Georgia, Florida 4 Southern, and
the Ssaboard g. Roanoke systems. This
accomplished the two consolidated SOUTH
ern lines will be added to the Memphis.
This will give the Memphis independent
terminal facilities at Birmingham, and two
seaboard terminals, Savannah and New
Orleans. Then, should the Missouri, KAN
sas 4 Texas deal be earned through, says
the Times, the combined systems would
make the strongest of the Southwestern
and Southern roads.

BOB-TAIL CREDENTIALS.


State Secretary OF Idaho Refuses to

BOISE CIry, Feb. 15.-fSpecial.] Lead
ing Republicans comment very unfavor-
ably on the action of Governor Wiley in
giving Clagett certificate of election
without any official transcript of the pro-
ceedings from the clerk Of the House.
Secretary of State Pinkham, in carefully
written article. gives as his reasons for not
afixing the state seal to Clagett's Gre
dentials as follows:
That at the time OF the assumed election OF
the state Of Idaho, on the 18th day Of February,
1891, no vacancy eyisted in said Office.
Second-That the assumed election above

THE s.DAGOES" RUN THE GAUNTLET
Hungry Chicago Workmen Mob and
Beat Worlds Fair ssScabs."


CHICAGO, Feb. 14.-[SpeciaL War was
the italian non-union labor en-
Jackson PARK. In the first short
rout completely, and the "other fellows"
remained in victorious possession of the
field. Early this morning the contractors
put about twenty Italians at work
in remote corner of the park. The
scouts Of the unemployed found them,
however, and in short time fully 600
men, armed with clubs and stones, made a
rush across the park. The Italians threw
down their shovels and fled in all direc-
tons.
In the meantime another conflict was
going on. The fourteen carpenters who
were at work on the Offices and stables had
claimed to be union men, but they
were not. They were working for s.
a day, when she union scale is 37H
cents an hour. This state of
affairs was discovered this morning,
and q delegation of carpenters
gave them fifteen minutes to quit. Those
who did not move quickly enough were
thrown down from the scaffold.
After the carpenters had quit work and
there were no Italians to be seen,
the crowd held q consultation, and
it was decided that the Italians
had vanished too quickly to have
left the park. A searching party was sent
out and soon found half dozen of the un-
fortunates hidden in corners. Aplan of &C
ton was quickly decided upon. A pile of
thin lumber was near. This lumber was
split up until 200 men each had stick.
They formed themselves in a double
line that extended for fully q
block. The Italians WERE led
forth and started down between
the lines. They were forced to run the
gauntlet, and every man helped them
along by a blow from his stick.
The contractors say they will
begin work Monday morning
and call for police protection. The labor
leaders disavow all responsibility for
the outrage, and say the mob is
not of union men. They are
simply mass of idle nondescripts, who
are actuated by malice in their attacks on
the Italians

less the amount Of losses paid. This -
sessment would bring to the state for tie
year 1880 from 900 to $4,000, and b.
lfeve it would be better to raise this
amount from the companies than TO COM
pei parties carrying insurance to pay
double that amount In the state treasury
and let the companies 60 scott free.
The proposition to make county treas.
urers collectors Of municipal taxes will
probably not be adopted at this session,
as King and Pierce appear to be
the only counties much interested in that
provision. The city charters Of Tacoma
and Seattle each provide for city assessor
and city tax collector. As neither Of the
city charters can be amended until the
next city election, the next Legislature
may, If the cities SO desire, pass such leg
islation. l am heartily in favor of this
measure. as it would save the cities thou
sands Of dollars of unnecessary expense to
make the county treasurer collector Of the
city taxes and the county assessor city as
SCISSOR. It would do away with the neces-
sity Of compelling our taxpayers or citizens
to visit two different Offices to pay city and
county taxes"

PORTLAND, Feb. 15.-fSpecial. 1.-The
Methodist denomination have perfected
arrangements for building large univer-

sell the property of the Willamette uni
versity at Salem, which is now inside the
city and has become valuable, and to re-
move the university here, this being con-
sidered more desirable location for such
an institution. The people of Salem Wig
orously objected and the scheme was ADAM
doned.
Now GOO acres of land just below the city
has been bonded, including seventy-five
acres contributed in subsidies, the whole
costing $3O0, 900. A guaranty company has
been organized by members of the Metho-
dist denomination with subscribed stock
of 5000, COO The sum of 100000 will be
paid on the lands and the owners will 0c-
cept the bonds of the guaranty company
for the remaining two-thirds of the price.
1t is intended to begin work as early as
July and to put up as speedily I as possible
DR.. 6. c. Stratton is president of the uni
versity, and there is a board of thirty di-
rectors and an executive committee Of fif-
teen members to handle the lands. It is
expected that after reserving sixty to
seventy-five acres for the campus Of the
university on the bluff overlooking the
Willamette river, the lands in town lots
will sell for enough to pay for all univer-
add to the endowment fund of the uni
versity. The more enthusiastic promoters
of the scheme think there will be 81, OOO, 900
