A TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION.
THE MERCHANTS OF CALIFORNIA
URGED TO ORGANIZE.
A Fight to Be Instituted Against the
Trans-Continental Association for a
Reduction of Freight Rates-J. S.
Leeds offered Fat Situation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8. The. COM
mittee appointed to arrange a meeting
Of merchants to form traffic associa-
ton, today issued circular to the mer-
chants throughout the state, earnestly
requesting them to attend. w. F. Peck,
one of the committeeman, says the fight
is not against the Southern Pacific COM
pany, but against the Trans-continental
association. A telegram has been sent
to j. S. Leeds, formerly chairman of the
Trans-continental association, offering
him the position of mediator between
the merchants and the railroad COM
panies, at asalary of ten thousand dollars
year. General Traffic Agent Gray, of
the Southern Pacific, said today he
would like to see Mr.. Leeds accept the
position, but doubted if he would do so,
as he had already declined similar
position with the st. Louis freight
bureau. General Passenger and Freight
Agent Bissel, of the Atlantic and Pacific,
said that, as member Of the Trans
continental association, he favored the
formation of freight bureau by the
merchants, and thought they would
have more influence with the railroads
as body than as individuals.

United States Since 1910.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The census bu-
reau has issued an extra bulletin on
education. The total school enrolment
for the United States, July first, this
year, was about 14,220,000. The total
public school enrolment, including
about $4,000 in universities, etc., was
1870, 900; in private and parochial
schools, not far from $50, 1000 each. A
table gives the national population and
school enrolment of each decade from
1910, when the first educational census
was taken, showing gain of school en-
rollment from 1850 to 1870 of 1874 per
cent, 1870 to 1890 of 1921 per cent, in
dicating nearly the same relations of
population and school enrolment in
each period, Notwithstanding the great
local changes. The relations of white
and colored attendants in the south fills
two tables, indicating 21.6S per cent. of
the white and 18 Sc per cent. of colored
population enrolled in schools in the
census year, while the gain over 1880
was 1881 per cent. for whites and 81 SO
per cent. for colored.

$50 miles long, from the City of Mexico
to town on the Pacific coast, at Pail
sada bay, and the letting Of the contract
will take place during the present
month. The road will traverse what
has been considered the richest mineral
section of old Mexico, which not only
promises silver, gold and lead ore, but
has also large agricultural and timber
resources. In addition to local traffic,
1t is believed this line will secure large
patronage, as it will
offer the shortest route between Aus

THE DEAD IRISH LEADER
PARNELL MURDERED TO PLEASE
ENGLISHMEN.
Incendiary Placards Posted in Cork.

Attend the eral-Reminiscenscs of
Parnell--His Mothers Grief

Cork, Oct. 9.-Posters have been plac-
arded about the city having deep
mourning borders and bearing in the
center the words Murdered to please
Englishmen." There are also verses de-
nouncing the McCarthyites and United
Ireland, declaring Parnell was muir
dered, ,and imploring the people to re-
main tranquil. The posters are stirring
up much excitement.
DUBLIN, Oct. 9.--The Freeman's Jour
mai and United Ireland both denounce
the sensational placarding at Cork as an
attempt to incite disorder.

The United Ireland protests against
anti-Parnellites attending Parnell's OBJ
sequies. 1t says the men who tried to
drive Parnell to the wall ought not to
sentimentalize over his grave.
The evening Press of this city says:
1t is not probable that the McCarthyite
members of parliament will attend the
funeral, as many of them, especially Mr..
Healey, have received threats that vio-
lence will be done them if they dare to
desecrate the occasion by their pres
ence.

nous crowd at Findlay. He referred to

works employed chiefly Belgians and
other unnaturalized citizens, and that

$500 per month, have not been reduced

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.--The United
States steamers Boston and Yorktown
have been ordered to Chile for the ex-

BoRDENrowN, N. j., Oct. 9.-Mrs.
Parnell has been Frustrated ever since
Wednesday afternoon. 1t is feared the
shock of her sons death has been too
great for her and that she may lose her
reason. She has been confined to he1
bed and has had constant attendance;
This morning Mrs. Parnell left her bed
and burst into the dining room. Her
eyes were ablaze and her features bag
gard. She was greatly excited and de-
clared she would go at once to New
York, and thence sail for Ireland to see
her beloved son. Sobs and hysterlcal
laughter shook her frame, and the at,
tendants were greatly frightened and

PARNELL cRossEp IN LOVE.

Among "reminiscences OF Parnell is a
contribution from Thomas Power O'Con-
nor, member of parliament from Zea-
land division, Liverpool, who says he
heard while on visit to America that
Parnell during his visit to the United
States, met at Newport one of the reign
ing beauties of the season; that he fell
in love and proposed marriage to her,
and was conditionally accepted. But
either the lady was tickle, or marriage
with a foreigner was hateful to her
American parents, and she married an
other. Parnell felt this blow most
acutely.

BULLETS NOT BALLOTS.
Faction In the Missouri Farmers Alliance
Said to Favor Force.


The Kansas City Star SAYS: It transpired
during the recent state meeting Of the Farmers
Alliance at Warrensburg, No., that there was
an organization within the alliance which
believes in force as o measure to attain the
objects Of the alliance.
1t was the knowledge of the existence Of this
force element that defeated the subtreasury
resolution, which was championed especially
by it. Those delegates who favored the SUBJ
treasury resolution, continues the Star, voted
against it simply because they desired to defeat
the force party. The force party had forty
eight delegates in the convention. One OF
them told a reporter about the organization.
and said. excitedly: "If the minority will not
do what the majority wills it is high time for
the majority to hang the minority. II ballots
won't do the business bullets will and there
are lots Of US pledged to go that far
Ex-President Hale. who asserts that his life
has been declared forfeit in the underground
meetings of these people, was and il keenly
alive to its existence. Before the meeting at
Pertle Springs he sent out a letter dated
August IA to every delegate he could trust,
telling him the facts and eXhorting them to be
at the convention ready to crush out the in
fuence of these socialists, as he called them, in
the alliance. This letter IVES kept profoundly
secret and its existence did not come to the
surface until late Saturday night, when every
body was preparing to leave.
The secret order calls itself 1.-THE Anti-Mo-
nopolists-" Very few, il any, farmers belong
to il. Its strength lies mainly in the cities and
the farmers are its cats paw.

LILY LANGTRY's NEW LOVER.
Freddy Gerhard Abandoned fer q Rich En-
glish Manufacturer.

Freddy Gebhard Abandoned fer q Rich En-
glish Manufacturer.
A dispatch to the Philadelphia Times says:
The theatrical managers who are returning to
this country from Europe in great numbers
in readiness to open the fall season with the
foreign attractions which they have secured
bring strange stories concerning Mrs Langtry.
That much-talked-of woman has been engaged
by Joseph I. Reynolds, formerly Of the Fifth
Avenue Theater, but now associated with
Eugene Tompkins, for an American tour begin
ming January o.
1t is not known whether she will be accom-
panied to this country by her new admirer,
who is Baird. the great iron manufacturer Of
England, and who is said to enjoy yearly in
come Of s9OO, 900. This individual is man OF
such pronounced sporting proclivities that in
order to give vent to his passion in that direc-
ton he has felt it necessary to adopt a sport
ing cognomen, which is Arlington. He was
the financial hacker of Jem Smith while that
fistic hero claimed to be the champion Of all
England.
For this individual Mrs Langtry has aban-
doned the gilded son of America, Freddy Geb-
hard, and still keeps her old, miserable, inc
briated husband isolated in a retired part of
the north Of Ireland on yearly pension, which
she RENTS to him, of 81. 500. Baird. or Alb

ing with prize fighters, and this contamination
has inspired him with such feelings that wheE
in his cups he gives expression to his fondness
for the Jersey Lily by actually blackening her
eyes and wiping the floor with her. The fair
Langtry. it is said, has come to rather like this
sort of thing, because these ebullitions of affec
ton are invariably followed by princely gifts
Speaking enthusiastically of his star, Mr..
Reynolds said to me today:
while / was in London Mr.. Baird pur-
chased a house at No. 81 Pont street, in the
most fashionable part of London, and had the
deed drawn up in Mrs. Langtrys name. He
then furnished it throughout in the most
lavish manner. Mrs Langtry was invited to
inspect the dwelling, and when she had gone
through it and fallen in ecstacies over its ap-
pointments Mr.. Baird handed her the deed and
a receipted bill for all it contained. While 1
was visiting her one day, arranging for her
American tour, a package came to her with
Mr.. Baird compliments. When opened it was
found to contain q dressing case, every article
in which, with the exception Of the bristles in
the brushes, made entirely Of gold" The
delicacy OF the donors method OF making gifts
was shown by the fact that in the case was a
receipted bill showing that it had cost 81, 500,
or 81, $40.
