TIGHTENING THEIR GRIP
Gould and Huntington to Form
Gigantic Railway
Combination
The Object Being to Keep
Other Roads Out of
San Francisco
Changes Made in the Northern
Pacific Agency at the
Golden Gate

SAN FRANCISCO, March 26-It is rumored
in local railroad circles that Coils p.
Huntington now on his return to this
city, had several important conferences
with Jay Gould and other railroad mag
mates during his tour in the East. The
financial statements of the Southern Pa
ciic and its branch lines were, it is said,
compared with similar statements Of the
operations of the Union Pacific and the
Missouri Pacific roads.
just what the object Of these confer
enceS was does not seem to be definitely
known, but rumor has it that negotiations
are pending toward the pooling Of the
issues of the three big systems.
If the plan should be successfully en-
ginecred, it would probably be with the
sole object Of preventing any tranSconti-
mental line from running into this city as
a rival to the Southern Pacific.
Mr.. Huntington will arrive here in time
to attend the meeting of the directors of
the Southern Pacific company next month,
when it is expected some definite knowl-
edge will be obtained.
On the first prOXimO the Northern Pa
cifc company will change its general
agency system in this city by separating
the passenger and freight departments.
T. r.. Stateler, present passenger agent,
has been promoted to be general agent OF
the passenger department..
He has acted as passenger representa-
tive here for two years. l.. II. Forester
freight solicitor, has been promoted to be
general agent of the freight department
and will also have his headquarters il
this city.
These changes and engagements in de-
partmCnts denote an increase in the com
pany's business in this state and Nevada
{. l.. Hanna will remain passenger agent
An excursion party, filling two Pullman
coaches and numbering 100 persons, is eX
pected to arrive in this city today from
Chicago and other Eastern points. The
party is coming over the Atlantic and Pa
citic which will run similar excursion,
from the East every week during the
season.

CORK, March 26-Timothy d. Healy, in
an interview this morning, said the mo-
ment he was able to do so would start for
Sligo and take an active part in the polt-
ical contest now in progress. Referring
to the recent assault upon him by O'Brien
and Dalton, Healy said that he was con =
vinced that Dalton had been instgated
in the matter by persons of more promi-
nence and Importance in Irish affairs.
Continuing, Healy directed attention to
the fact that only few days previous to
the assault Dalton had been Parnel's
travelling companion, and he had also re-
Gently been with Alderman Dillon, Par
nellite candidate for parliament from
Sligo. Healy followed this up by saying
that he was fully convinced it was the
desire of interested parties to disable him
so that ii would be impossible for him to
participate in the Sligo election, that led
to the preparation of the outrage at
Sligo.
Today the candidates for election to
parliament from North Sligo were form
ally placed in nomination, Alderman
Valentine b. Dillon, jr., representing the
ROtunda ward of this city, being nOmi-
mated by the Parnellites, and Alderman
Collery, of Sligo, by the McCarthyites.
The great excitement which has pre-
vailed in Sligo for several DAYS past has
increased to such an extent that the Off
cials have applied to the m litary authori-
ties for cavalry to be held in readiness for
a possible outbreak. The city officials are
apprehenSive that serious riOting will oc-
cur on Saturday and Sunday.

A LIVELY CAMPAIGN
The Three -Cornered Fight in Chicago
Getting Warm

CHICAGO, March 26-Carter Harrison
made his first appearance in public to-
night since receiving the nomination for
the mayoralty. 1t was in Central Music
hall, and the place was crowded with his
adherents. The meeting proved to be
one that will be likely to be memorable
i'm Illinois politics, and indirectly, per
haps, also in national affairs. Harrison
saYagety denounced his fellow Democrats
and the opposing candidate, Mayor
Cregier.
The announcement that the newly
elected United States senator, John NJ.
Palmer, was coming to Chicago TO work
for Cregier's election was received with
much dsfavor, and the following resolu-
tion was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, by the Chicago Personal
Rights League, to the number of 1900, in
mass-meeting assembled, and 10000 other
members in Chicago, that General Palmer
be requested not to interfere with home
rule in Chicago, as representing no fac
tiOn, but the whole people Of Illinois.
General Palmer, who has been in
Springfield was shown a copy of the reso-
luton late tonight, but refused TO talk on
the subject until he received official ad-
vice from the meeting.

from Chicago and the Northwest will thus
be diverted toward Montreal. Montreal
will be the summer port OF the new line.

COUNTY ROADS
Interview With County Commits sioner
Lysle on the Subject

Interview With County Commits sioner
Lysle on the Subject
The subject of constructing and improv-
ing the wagon roads in Whatcom county
is attracting the attention Of all tax pay
ers. The board Of county commissioners
had been Informed sometime since that
the roads of Jefferson county were much
better and were constructed at half the
cost Of those Of Whatcom county, and in
order TO satisfy themselves the commits
Sioners visited Jefferson county last Tues
day and Wednesday, returning home
Wednesday afternoon. In an interview
County Commissioner Lysle said:
The roads Of Jefferson county are eX-
cellcut. In fact it would be difficult
matter To find better roads in any country
but the conditions, soil aud country are
totally different In that county than from
that of our own county. The soil of JEFF
ferson county with the exception Of very
few spots, is sandy, while everywhere
gravel in large quantities can be found.
The timber In Jefferson county Is sparse
and small while here it f. thick ana big.
In constructing a road In Jefferson county
all that is necessary Is TO clear a right OF
way and surface 10 with gravel. When it
rains the water quickly disappears
through the gravel and sinks into the
sa d. To sum it all up Jefferson county
has the proper material and the adyan-
tapes for building good roads cheap, while
WhatcOm county has the soil that Is pro-
ductive and fertile and that produces the
material which makes IL profitable aud
necessary TO build good highways

A JOCKEYS DEATH
Tug Decker Supposed to Have Been
Murdered

Murdered
New YORK, March 26-As the time goes
on opinion in Westchester becomes more
distinctly divided as to how Tug
Decker, the jockey, met his death last
Saturday night, whether by murder or
accident. His body was found on Sunday
morning reclining on a barbed wire fence,
along the railroad 300 feet east of the
Westchester station. The physicians
who examined the body Judge, from the
fracture of Decker's skull, that he was
killed by train and his body flung where
it was found. AS Decker was forty feet
from the track, the theory is dscredited
by many, who think he was wayaid by
rOughs, who intended to rifle his pockets
Decker left New York on the last pas
senger train on Saturday night He was
partly intoxicated, and was carried mile
beyond where he Intended to get off.
When last seen he had started to walk
back. 1t was discovered yesterday that
this train was followed by fast freight,
which usually runs at high rate of speed
where the body was found, and IL was due
there about the time Decker would have
reached the spot by an easy walk.
John Campbell, who employed Decker,
denied yesterday having said that he had
a large sum of money with him at the
time, which also weakened the murder
theory. The inquest will be resumed on
Saturday night.

FROM AN OLD FRIEND

Every old resident Of the Focal City
will remember Captain II. l.. Leonard and
his estimable wife. Captain Leonard
came to Fairhaven in command Of the
ship Charles L. Moody, that came here
from New Jersey with 5000 tons OF rail-
road steel consigned TO the Falrhaven
aud Southern. The ship remained here
five weeks, during which time Captain
aud Mrs. Leonard won the esteem and
affection of the entire community by
their hospitality. During the time the
ship was in port Captain and Mrs. Leon
ard gave a grad ball on board the ship to
their many friends, and that brilliant
event will lingcr long In the memory OF

TURN APOSTATES
A Large Number of Russian Jews Con-
verted


ST. PETERSBURG, March ga new in
dustry is acquiring considerable develop
ment in Russia. 1t is that of conversion.
1t appears that the Russian government,
not being willing to trust only theological
arguments and penal laws, offers reward
to all Jews who become Christians. The
consequence is that number of Jews, de-
prlved by the severe enforcement Of the
DEGREES against their race OF the oppor-
tunity to make an honest living, have
entered on the practice of being converted
at regular intervals and receiving each
time the government bounty of Is roubes.
One Hebrew named Schwartz has been
at last detected, after seven conversions,
In as many different localities. 1t hap
pened that the Russian priest to whom he
made known his desire for the seventh
time for baptism and the fifteen roubles,
had been recently transferred from the
Elizabeth grade for converts and had
baptized and rewarded Schwartz only
about two months before. Consequently
Schwartz will undergo no more con-
versions for the present, as the priest will
have him in hand.
Many similar instances have been re-
ported, and as result the authorities
have been instructed not TO pay the re-
ward unless they have Investigated the
antecedents OF the convert.

REFUSED ADMITTANCE
To a Money-Destroying Applicant to a
Hospital

NEW York, March 2G- Ralph Blakelock,
wealthy artist, living at lis Milton
street Brooklyn, has become insane, and
last night an attempt was made to have
him cared for in st. Catherine hospital,
from which he was turned into the street
later. BlakclOck has been acting qucerly
for some time, and his brother, Dr. Blake
lock, has been living in the house to attend
him. Yesterday he became so violent
that, according to the members of the
family, he destroyed $500 in bills, burning
them in the fire. and sold an oil painting
valued at s., 900 for $3.50.
An officer from the Seventh precinct
took him to the police station, where DIR.
O'Reilly Of the Eastern District hospital
was summoned, and took him TO st. Cath
crime. At that institution they refused to
receive him, but the ambulance surgeon
insisted that he was fit subject for the
hospital and took him in. DIR. O'Rciily
had hardly left when the patient was
turned out into the street. The police
then took charge of him. Blakelock de-
nies his insanity, and declares that it is
case of conspiracy on the part OF his
family
