Eastern Excursionists to be Shovered
With Oranges and Flowers

With Oranges and Flowers
SAN Francisco, Jan. 31.-Local officials
employed in increasing overland travel
are much interested in the proposed
cross country tours of the Pennsylvania
Company. The train due here on Febru-
ary 18th, two weeks from tomorrow,
will, according to all expectations, be the
finest affair ever in California. and
already preparations are being made to
receive it and the coming tourists it NAV
bring. The chances are that the travellers
who may come this way will be entire
strangers to the State.
The company having advertised and
recruited its patronage largely from a
comparatively new tourist field, every
effort will be made by the Southern Pa
citic Passenger Department to make
pleasant the visit of the excursionists that
they may go back and tell their friends of
the beauties OF the land they went so far
to see.
One plan now arranged is to delegate
an agent to board the train near Yuma,
where the Southern Pacific enters Cali.
fornia, and to shower the travellers with
oranges, flowers, figs, olives and other
precious products of the State. Beside
this, one of the general officers of the
Passenger Department expects to 90 as
party OF excursionists and explain some
of the plans arranged for their entertain
ment. For the later parties-possibly
for this one-a series of local excursions
are planned. Shasta, Del Monte and
other points of interest are to be included.
These later excursions are scheduled to
reach this city March 10th, April I'd and
April 23d.
I'm order to make proper connections
the first of these fancy trains to reach
here, as stated, February 18th, viii be

come out in it will care to go back so
soon, the train will afford San Fran
ciscans an opportunity to go East in good
style. 1t will go by the Sunset route and
go direct to New York City. Only the
usual rates will be charged, notwithstand-
ing the many extra comforts afforded.

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-A special from Fort
Worth, Tex, says: All day yesterday this
city was in a Juror of excitement over
rumorS from little towns on the Fort
Worth and Denver road, lying near the
Indian reservation of the Kiowas,
that one thousand Kiowa bucks had
gone on the warpath, and had sacked
and burned the town of Wellington and
killed and scalped thirty people.
President Jones of the Fort Worth and
Denver Railroad Company was notified,
and at once placed the road at the dis
poSal of the people to hurry the militia
and volunteers to the scene of the trouble
Captain McMurray, with a company of
the State Rangers and 400 volunteers,
came down from Amarillo and Claren-
don, and companies from Quinah, Vernin,
Bowie and other points have pushed to
the front
The Forth Worth Fencibles and $50
men were ready to start from here, when
word was received that the whole affair
was a conspiracy on the part of few
men to frighten the people of Wellington
out Of town and move the county seat to
Center county. Governor Hogg has or
0sxed rigid investigation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The State of
Nebraska, represented by delegation
headed by Congressman Dorsey, appeared
before the subcommittee on Agriculture
to-day and modestly asked for one million
dollars to supply the poverty fund for
Western Nebraska. Some weeks ago
Dorsey asked for quarter of million,
but later advices from his State nerves
him up to an entire million.
A California representative suggested
that he would rather guarantee his State
making the donation asked than 10 20 on

that the people living in the poverty pro-

Association.

Territorial Division of the New Traffic
Association.
CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-The Commissioners
of the Western Traffic Association to-day
made lengthy report to President Mil
Ter of the Advisory Board. 1t divides the
territory as follows:
The Western freight division, under
Commissioner Midgely, includes Mime
sofa, Iowa, Wisconsin, the peninsula of
Michigan, Illinois, west of Illinois Cen
tral and Vandalia; the Missouri, north of
the St. Louis and San Francisco; the
DakOtas, east OF the Missouri and the
business between Kansas City and these
points
The business between points on the
Missouri River belongs in the Trans
Missouri.
The Southwestern railway and-steam-
ship division, under Commissioner Fait-
horn, includes all territory south of the
Western traffic and the line between
Minco, Indian Territory and Fort Smith;
and all business to or from the Southern
Pacific, Mexico or Rio Grande crossing.
The transcontinental division, under
Commissioner Vining, includes all the
territory west of the meridian of Harri-
son, Utan Northern, Central Pacific and
the eastern line of Nevada.
The trans S-MlSSouri, under Commits
sioner Smith, includes all the territory
left out in the above on and west of the
Missouri River.
1t is recommended that the names of
the divisions be changed to the Lake,
Gulf, Trans-Missouri and Transconti-
mental.
The Board recommends that when the
Western Passenger Association dissolves,
the Western Passenger Division have the
same boundaries as the Western freight,
and that Commissioner Vining have
charge of the trans Missouri passenger
traffic.
There is likely to be an objection to this
by the Northwestern.
No move has yet been made to dissolve
the old associations.

His amendment reported by the Com

ing the Improvements demanded by tnA

in this matter might prove costly to the
Government. The extreme Importance
of the matter to the commercial business
of the Pacific Coast had never been fully
recognized by the East. Their recent de-
cision concerning trade on the island had
led the public mind to more fully weigh
the Importance of giving some attention
to the needs of the Pacific Coast in this
connection. There is fighting chance
for the appropriation and improvements
to be made.

severely wounded, three of them probably
fatally, at the Carbon Hill coal mines, in
Walter County, forty miles west of this

known is that they took the places of
white miners during the recent strike,
and when the strike was settled the COM

The nine negroes were surrounded
asleep in their cabins and shot down like
wild beasts before they had an oppor-
tunity to attempt an escape or resist. The

CHILE REVOLUTION.

All Sides.

The Insurgents Gaining Victories on
All Sides.
BUENos AYREs, Jan. 31.-War news
continues to filter from Chile into this
republic, but it must be admitted that the
information received seems to come in
the main from sources favorable to the
insurgents and unfavorable to the Chilean
Government.
Valdiyia, the port or corral and seaport
town of Naldivia, sixteen miles from the
mouth of the Calacalla river, is now
blockaded by the war vessels of the in
surgents.
The insurgents warships are also
blocking the Island Of Chileo and Chico
Archipelago. Their ships are patroiling
the Gulf of Ancud, thus cutting off all
communication between the island and
mainland.
One rebel vessel is lying off Ancud, the
capital of the Island of Chico. Insurgent
marines from the vessel have occupied
Ancud.
q The Chico Archipelago consists of
about sixty small islands, with popula-
ton of $4,000 souls.
The insurgent warship which anchored
off Ancud recently left that port in charge
OF marines. She had loaded and steamed
away TO capture another port. While
this vessel was absent a ship having Gov
ernment troops on board appeared off
Ancud. She hoisted the British flag and
tried to land the troops she had on board.
The insurgents, however, detected the
strategem and opened fire upon the Gov
ernment vessel. The latter replied with
rapid fire of guns and small-arm fire,
but after sharp engagement the vessel
was disabled and had to leave the port of
Ancud in the hands of the victorious in
surgents.
President Balmaceda is now said to
have announced his willingness to ne
gotiate for terms of peace with the rebels,
who seem victorious on all sides. One of
the stipulations insisted upon by the
President, if the negotiations proceed, is
that the port of Valparaiso not to be
blockaded while the parleying continues.
The rebels, it is said, insist that President
Balmaceda resign.
Some compromise favorable to the in
terest of European merchants and finan-
ciers is looked forward to, according to
the latest advices.
Further advices from Chile are to the
effect that after several skirmishes the
Government troops succeeded in recap
turing Pizagua. 1t is also learned that
the insurgents occupied Taltal.
