CARSON AND COLORADO.
THE ROAD TO BE EXTENDED FROM
KELLER TO MOJAvE.
The Company Reorganized by D. o. Mills
and Other Capitalists-The Line to Be
Completed to Southern California TO
Head OFF the Rio Grande Western.

SAN FRANcIsco, Feb. 26.-A complete
reorganization of the Carson and Colo
RADIO Railway company has been
effected, and articles of Incorporation
were prepared today to be filed at Sacra
mento. The purpose of the arrange
ment is for the extension of the line
from Keeler, in Inyo county to Mojave,
on the line of the Southern Pacific and
Atlantic and Pacific railroad. The con-
struction Of the line over the desert to
Mojave will be commenced in short
time, material for that purpose having
been contracted for in the east and on
this coast.
The stockholders of the new company
are as follpws:. D. O. Mills, Edgar
Mills, F. g. Newlands, George Whittell.
Thomas Bell, J.. B. Randall, Horace l..
Hill, H. M. Yerington, William s.
Wood.
The articles of Incorporation set forth
that $1,000 is. actually subscribed
to the capital stock, for each mile
of railroad intended to be purchased
or constructed bYl the corporation
and that there has been paid to George
Whittell, treasurer, 10 per cent of the
amount subscribed. One hundred dol
lars has also been subscribed for each
mile of telegraph along the line of the
road.
The plan of reorganization includes
the purchase or construction of 425 miles
of road. OF this 293 miles is already
built, and 1872 miles remain to be con
structed.
d. 0. Mills, the leading stockholder
in the concern, has contemplated an ex-
tension of the line for several years. 1t
is believed that he has been led to final
ly decide upon this important step be-
cause of the strong indications that
another company, the Rio Grande West
ern, would reach down through Nevada
and connect with the Southern Pacific.
He will forestall this aby building the
road himself, and will be first in the
field, as it would take long time for
the Rio Grande Western to reach Cali
fornia.
The Carson and Colorado railroad
runs from point on the line OF the
Virginia and Truckee railroad, known as
Mound house, and the line is over one
half in Nevada and the rest in this
state. The company has had very
prosperous year, and is in better condi-
ton than. ever to extend its line to
Moiave.

Associated Press Dispatches.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 26.-Tbe much
talked-of welter-weight fight between
Charles Kemmick, of Minneapolis, and
Hite Peckham, of Bradford, Pa, drew
a large crowd of spectators to the
quarters of the Pacific club tonight. 1t
had been announced that the winner
would be matched against the winner of
the Ryan-Needham contest for the well
ter weight championship of Amer
ica, and the long list of
victoris of each man added
further interest to the event tonight.
The men were matched at 141 pounds,
with limit of two pounds additional,
but it is understood they weighed in at
145 each. Betting shortly before the
fight was at odds Of 20 to IA, with Kim
mick the favorite.
Martin Murphy, Billy Smith of Ash
tabula and Dick Graham seconded Kem-
mick. Tim McGrath, Billy Smith of
Boston and Geo. Lanigan seconded
Peckham. Purse, $500. Time was
called at 8 10.
In the first round there was some light
sparring, followed by Peckham drop
ping on his hands couple of times near
the ropes in evading Kemmick's right.
Peckham was whipped in the third
round.
Drs. O'Donnell and Taylor, upon the
request of President Dougherty, made an
examination of Peckham, while the
crowd waited. They reported Peckham
in perfect condition, and announced to
the club that they had no hesitation in
saying the fight was faxed on the latter's
part.
Kemmick was seen in the dressing
room, and said he would meet Peckham
for anything the club would give. He
expressed himself as disgusted with the
outcome of his matches in San Fran
cisco, and claimed that this was the
second one he had been "jobbed"
out of.
Kemmick was previously matched to
meet McCann, at the California club,
but the match was declared off, McCann
being much overweight. NJ
President Dougherty stated, in an in
terview later, that he would not give
either man another match or anything
of the purse.

LONDON CABLE LETTER.
THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY'S RAP
IDLY WANING POWER.
A Hard Struggle to Maintain "a Majority
in the Commons = The Government
Urged to Dissolve Parliament About
Easter-Irish Campaign Funds, Etc.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-ICopyrighted, 1892,
by the New York Associated Press. J.
The Conservative commissioners who
are urging the government to dissolve
parliament about Easter, have their
reasons enforced by the daily difficulty
experienced by the Cons whips
in keeping enough members together to
prevent the opposition from snatching
division on anything like an organized
party struggle. By the time Chaplin's
small holdings bill is passed the house
will have no vitality left for prolonged
wrangles over the Irish government bill.
Still, Baliour shows no disposition to re-.
cede from his intention to carry that
measure. In a letter to the Bristol
Unioniat club, he says,he hopes to COM
plete the general scheme by introduc-
ing bill transferring to Ireland private
bill legislation. Lord Salisbury has in
formed his supporters Of his intention
to hold a conference on the eve of the
day the Irish local government bill is
given to the committee. The opposition
tactics, he says, under Gladstone's lead
ership will then have developed, and
the Conservatives will be enabled to de-
eide what course to pursue.
IRISH CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
Chancery proceedings are to open, fol-
lowing writ served upon Mrs. Parnell
and Justin Mccarthy jointly, at the in
stance of Redmond, Harrington and
others, with view to decide the GUS
tody Of the Paris funds. The special
fund which the Irish National federation
started year ago for electoral and other
purposes is progressing. The total is
now G12,000 and the fund is growing
weekly. American contributions are
largely increasing.
AMERICAN IMMIGRATION RESTRICTIONS.
The proposals of Secretary Foster for
restricting European immigration to the
United States, are anxiously discussed
by the Atlantic steamship companies.
It is suggested that increase of the tax
implies increased passenger rates. A
high steamship authority says while
the scheme will create positions in
European ports for new class OF office
seekers, at the cost of the Atlantic
steamship lines, it will impel immigra-
tion to other countries, especially
TO Canada. The exacting OF bond of
$4,000 from steamship owners, as a
pledge for the return Of Objectionable
emigrants within two years, he holds
will bsimpossible Of observance.
sPURGEoN's SUCCESSOR.
James Spurgeon, brother of the late
Chas. SpuSgeon, has Professionally as
sumed the duties of the pastorate of the
Metropolitan tabernacle. Rev. Mr..
Pierson was the most popular candidate,
but he is Presbyterian, and the trust
deed requires a Baptist. Pierson will
continue to occupy the pulpit, and will
probably formally join the Baptists.

amounts to thousands of marks. The
newspapers warn the peopleR against
overestimating the Importance of the
disturbances, which, they say, are due
to roughs. Socialist papers disclaim on
behalf of the Socialist leaders any con-
nection with the rioters, and declare
that the members of the mob belong to
the lowest dregs of the population.
Thursday nights riots were extremely
serious. A number of shops were en-
tered by the rioters, who smashed the
furniture, and all kinds OF goods were
carried away in sacks. In some cases a
regular trade was carried on in the
streets, in stolen goods.
An unfounded rumor was current to-
day that an attempt was made to force
an entrance into Empress Frederick's
palace.
All is quiet at midnight. There was
some disorder near the Schloss Freiheit
and the palace at 10 p. m. Several ar
rests were made. There was also dis
turbance at the East End about IL o. m.
LONDON, Feb. 26.--The Berlin corre-
spondent of the Times declares that the
laxity OF the government is due to an
attempt to minimize the extent of the
disorder in the eyes of the public. The
correspondent further says all kilograms
describing the rioting in terms Offend
ing the German press censors are re-
fused transmission, and no accounts of
the later excesses Of Thursday could be
wired. The correspondence own mes
sage breaks off in the middle of SEN
tence describing today's scenes.
VIENNA, Feb. 26.--The Office of the
Volk's Presse was today again besieged
by hungry people, when 1000 loaves of
bread, bought with 800 forms publicly
subacribed, and quantity OF -four
given by the bakers committee, were
distributed. News of the Berlin dis
turhance caused great sensation here.

A Diabolical Crime.

VIENNA, Feb. 26.--Details of horri-
rible story were received today. A
band OF masked men went to the house
of young woman named Mary Lep--
pers, in the village of Minin; forced
their way into her bedroom and bound
the woman with cords. They then
poured large quantity of petroleum
over her, applied match and calmly
watched the horrible spectacle. The
victims shrieks and cries were blood
curdling. The motive assigned is that
the woman was suspected OF having
murdered her husband.

INDIAN EXCHANGE.
The Need of Free Bimetallic Coinage
Felt in Iud la.

LONDON, Feb. ga dispatch to the
Times from Calcutta says: An address
presented to the government by the
Bengal chamber of commerce, on the
subject of exchange, says it is impossi-
BILE for men in business to have any con-
fidence in the future value OF the rupee.
1t adds that it is the belief OF members
of the chamber of commerce that there
is no complete remedy for the fuctua-
tions in rates of exchange except either by
the establishment by an international
agreement of a system of free coinage of
both gold and silver at fixed rates, or
the adoption of the gold standard by
India. Failing in these remedies, they
see nothing in the future except the
gradual demonstration of silver by one
country after another, with violent and
endless fluctuations in the relative
values of gold and silver, and fall in
the rupee to level impossible to pre-
dict.

WENT TO THE BOTTOM.
A Steamer Sunk in the North Sea with
All Hands Aboard.

LONDON, Feb. 26.-Meagre news of
the terrible disaster on the North sea,
by which steamer went to the bottom,
carrying with her every soul on board,
with only one exception, was received
in this city at late hour tonight. The
steamer Loughbrow, (British), and the
Forest Queen came into collision off
marlborough, on the North sea-, the
Forest Queen being torn apart. The
sea rushed through the breaches made
in her hull in great volume. She at
once began to settle, and in very short
time plunged to the bottom. So quickly
did the Forest Queen founder, that the
crew had no chance to save their lives,
and all hands, with the single excep-
ton of the captain, went down. The
dispatches give no information of the
extent of the damage done the Lough-
brow.

then Gallagher clutched him about

and he became black in the face.
Shouts of ''foul' and "don't murder

AMUsEMENTs.

Mr.. Roland Reed is unquestionably
at his best as Stuyvesant Filbert in The
Club Friend, in which he appeared last
night at the Los Angeles theater. The
play is called comedy, but it partakes
of go much that is serious, and is SO
utterly devoid of the farcical features
that modern playwrights seem to think
belong to comedy, that it has decided
quality of dignity.
Mr.. Reed has the role of man of the
world, who is actuated by the kindliest
purposes, which are worked out by
means of his shrewdness and knowledge
OF life. 1t is part that requires the
utmost skill to keep from being slow,
and necessitates excellent Judgment to
prevent from becoming burlesque.
Mr.. Reed makes it thoroughly enjoya-
BILE, and pictures a character that is
both amusing and likeable.
In the last act Mr.. Reed as Gilbert,
Miss James as Mabel Douglas and Mr..
Nash as DR.. Jarvis, act a scene which is
wonderfully strong. DR.. Jarvis gives
up all claim to daughter, who does
not know that he is her father, and who
thanks him for wedding dowry, which
Gilbert. who has brought the girl up as
his adopted daughter, has extorted from
the unworthy father, he having check
mated every move made through the
play, by Nash, who is the villain, but
who, outwitted by the cool-headed club
man, is at last brought to repentant
frame of mind.
The company throughout did excel
lently; the women were particularly at
tractive, their gowns being no small
feature of the performance.
A pleasing detail was the ingenious
acting of Miss Cecile James as Mabel
Douglass. She was unaffectedly grace
full and decidedly effective.

evening Lend Me Your Wife.

All the numbers were rendered with
rare skill, the general opinion being that
this was the best concert so far given by
the club.
The most ambitious piece was Rol-

lent tenor was heard to advantage, and
Mr.. Percy Fennimore sang solo in
which his rich, well-cultivated bari
tone produced pleasing effect.

The Queen i'm journalism.

The queens appearance in the pages

an article written upon information sup

reign. 1t will be followed up by another
and even more directly personal contri-

tleman, who has another interesting
pupil in the head of the Mahammedan
faith. According to his testimony the
queen in her faculty for acquiring Ian
guage far outstrips the sultan. Her
majesty, though coming late in life to
the study, takes a keen interest in it,
and delights in communicating with
her Indian servants in their native
tongue.
Her contribution will consist of a
translation into Hindoostanee of two let
tiers. One was written some time ago
by her majesty to the shah of Persia;
the other is letter addressed to the
English people and was penned shortly
after the death of the Duke of Clarence.
