New ORLEANS, Feb. 24.-There was a
large attendance at the second days
session of the Transmississippi con-
gress, Governor Prince of New Mexico
presiding. A large number of resolu-

delegates and referred to committees.
Governor Hubbard, of Texas, and
others delivered addresses on the SUBJ

Hon. Warner Miller, of New York,
president of the Nicaragua Canal COM
pany delivered an interesting address
on the progress of the canal. He dwelt
on its Importance; said the commerce
of the world demanded its construction.
The only question of Importance now is
whether it should be done by American
capital, under American auspices and
control, or whether it should be COM
PEELED to seek European capital for its
completion. For, with the example
OF the Suez canal there is no doubt
private enterprise will come forward
and carry the undertaking to success

BREAKING UP RANCHES.
HUNTINGTON'S INSTRUCTIONS TO
LAND AGENT MILLS.
Large Holdings Must Be Broken Up to
Make Good Railroad Business-The
Southern Pacific Going to Do Exten-
sive Subdividing.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 24.-C. P. Hunt
I ington has sent letter to w. H. Mills,
land agent of the Central Pacific, in
structing him to make some land pur-
chases in this state. "We must, break
up these large land holdings in Cali
fornia," says Mr.. Huntington, "if we
ever expect to make any great success
with our railroads."
The letter sent to Mr.. Mills was brought
out by long report by that gentleman
to Mr.. Huntington on the success of the
company in breaking up several large
land holdings in Yolo county, chiefly in
the Copay valley. The company bought
5000 acres and has sold most of
the land in small farms, averaging
twenty-four acres each, 1866 such farms
having been sold up to date, four being
purchased yesterday by men from Eng
land.
Mr.. Mills showed in his report that
the benefit OF the railroad company
from the Yolo county venture, which
was undertaken as an experiment, was
very great and would doubtless
be greater in the future. All
the land had been used for wheat
growing previous to it's purchase by
The railroad company, and had not given
the company more than one-sixth of a
ton of freight to the acre. Since its
subdivision 1870 acres of fruit trees
have been planted, and these are giving,
or will give, the company a carload OF
freight per acre. The wheat was shipped
to Port Costa, which afforded very
short haul, while the fruit is
shipped to Chicago, and the
freight charges are $500 per carload
the Southern Pacifc's proportion of the
rate is abouts$100, so chat each acre of
fruit land bought and subdivided by it
will pay 500 an acre year to the COM
pany.
So pleased is Mr.. Huntington with
this showing, that he is determined to
90 into the subdivision business on a
very large scale. Several large holdings
will at once be bought and divided into
farms by the company under his direc-
ton, the first to be bought being 10000
acres in Northern California, which Mr..
Mills regards as a good bargain.
Mr.. Huntington's instructions to Mr..
Mills are not to jeopardize the success
of the project by giving the people to
understand that the company is going
into the handwriting business for profit
on sales, but that the land shall be sold
at going rates.

OUGHT TO BE ROASTED.
MISSOURI HAS A SUBJECT FOR THE
STAKE.
A Negroes Awful Grimes at Sedalia-A
Woman Outraged in the Presence of
Her Husband-The Fiend Will Be
Lynched a la Texarkana if Captured.

SEDALIA, Mo Feb. "a. The people OF
Sedalia have determined that the pun
ishment meted out by the people of
Texarkana to negro ravisher, is needed
by negro desperate who startled the
town with series of crimes last night.
About O'Clock he entered the house of
a widow, Mary Moore, choked her into
unconsciousness, stole few valuables
and escaped.
A little later he stopped P. H. Buck
ley and Miss Matte Gilker, on the
street, with drawn revolver. Miss
Gilker fed, the negro pursued, and
felled her to the ground with the butt
end of his revolver. Buckley and
others coming up then, he escaped.
Half an hour later Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Taylor, when on the way from
an entertainment, were stopped on
Broadway by the negro, who, at the
point of revolver told them
to hold up their hands. Taylor
obeyed, and while the thief was going
through his pockets, Mrs. Taylor slip
ped diamond ring from her hand and
threw 1t into yard and hid diamond
breastpin in her dress. The highway
man took pair OF diamond earrings
from her ears, then, at the point of his
revolver, marched the couple to lonely
spot. There he bound Taylor hand and
foot, and after desperate struggle out
ragged Mrs. Taylor. He then released
the couple.
The police have so far been unable to
find any trace of the desperate. A mass
meeting was held at the opera house to-
day and reward of $500 for the cap
ture of the negro was subscribed. The
whole country hereabouts is aroused as
it has not been in years.

Associated Press Dispatches.
BERLIN, Feb. 24.-At banquet given
in Brandenburg, at which the emperor
was the guest of honor, his majesty
made an address, in the course of which
he classed critics of the government as
enemies OF the state. He urged all who
loved the Fatherland to follow him on
the course he had entered. He con-
tinued: Unfortunately, it has now
become the fashion to criticise and nag
at every step taken by the government.
The public peace is disturbed on the
most insignificant grounds. The enjoy
ment of life shared by the whole German
Fatherland is envenomed. As result
of this nagging persecution many per-
sons are imbued with the idea that our
country is the most unhappy and the
worst governed in the world, and that
life in such country is perfect plague.
That this is not the case, we of course, are
we'll aware, but would it not be better
if discontented persons were 10 shake
the dust of Germany from off their feet? :?
We live in a state of transition. Ger
many is gradually emerging from in
fancy. She is now about to enter the
period of youth. 1t would be well,
therefore, if we freed ourselves from in
fant maladies. We live in exciting days,
but quieter days are in store since our
people, now uniting, undeterred by the
utterances of voices abroad, are putting
their trust in God and in the loyal, So
licitous efforts of their hereditary ruler.
The firm confidence and sympathies ac-
corded your work and mine inspires me
continually with fresh strength to con-
tinue my task and advance in the path
heaven has pointed out to me. am
impressed with the feeling that what
ever has occurred in the past is due to
the hand of our Supreme Lord on high.
am firmly convinced that He who was
our ally at Rossbach and DonDeweitse
will not now leave us in the lurch. We
still have great destiny before us, and
am leading you to glorious days.
The emperor'e reply to the attack
upon the policy Of the government was !:
my course is the right one, and it will
be prosecuted to the utmost"
The Freisinnige Zeitung comments Sc
verely on the speech and says: Ger
many no longer needs absolutism, but
constitutional government"
In the reichstag today proposal was

planned to Rob the sheriff.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 24.-In addition
to what was brought out at the famous
trial of "Abe" Jones in the United
States district court, it was testified to-
day by "Jack" Rice, who has turned
states evidence, that Jones and Howard
planned at Redding to rob the sheriff,
who at that time was going about the
county collecting taxes. He also said
that while at Redding, and while Jones
and Howard were away on their second
robbery, he was halted by the same
sheriff, who searched HIM, thinking he

Sacramento Notes.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 24.-At meeting
of the Sacramento city board of trade
today, resolutions were adopted request
ing the representatives in congress to
urge the adoption of Postmaster-Gen-
eral Wanamaker's report favoring an
appropriation of $500, 900 for the estab-
lishment of postal telegraph system.
Copies OF the resolution will be for
warded to all the boards of trade in the
country, in the hope of securing united
action thereon.
Tomorrow Governor Markham will re-

matter of recommending, by proclama-
tion, that Labor Day be observed as a
public holiday. 1t is believed the Gov
ernor will favor the request.

La Grippei

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for it's
cures of severe colds. This remedy
successfully counteracts the tendency of
the disease to result in pneumonia,
provided that proper care be taken to
avoid exposure when recovering from
the attack. Careful inquiry among the
many thousands who have used this
remedy during the epidemics of the
past two years has failed to discover a
single case that has not recovered or
that has resulted in pneumonia. Fifty

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Factory Employees Crushediby Fall
ing Chimney.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-A frightful acci-
dent occurred at Cleck beaton, in York
shire, today. The massive chimney Of
flannel factory collapsed and fell,
crushing in the building. The horror
of the scene was soon augmented by the
breaking out OF fire, in which number
of the imprisoned victims were burned.
The number already taken out includes
eight killed and many badly injured.
Five of those in the building at the time
of the disaster are still missing. Men
had been engaged for week past in
repairing the chimney, and it is report
ed the disaster was caused by the iEju-
dicious removal of bricks.
At a late hour tonight twelve bodies
have been extricated. Two of the in
jured have died and it is thought others
will succumb.

times during the confused discussion.
and favorably received. 1t was now
the apparent purpose of Powderly. hav-
ing kept Miss Wizards minority report
out of the platform, to placate her and
her friends. by having the convention
adopt the Willard plank as a resolution
in place OF that of Miss Curtis.
When the roll call was reached on
what now became Miss Curtis's minor
ity report, the vote was taken by states
1t was thought the oowderly- Weaver
following would resent Miss Curtis 8
spunkiness by defeating the report, but
Powderly voted the Knights solidly for
the minority report. Secretary Hayes
declared it carried, 254 to 246. Unoffi-
cial tally-keepers made very different
totals. they declaring the vote really
was 252 noes and 238 ayes, which, if
official would defeat the minority re-
port.
Meanwhile Miss Willard and Lady
Henry Somerset left the hall and did
not return.
The Knights and most of the Alliance
men then retired for caucus, despite
some vehement protests.
BUSINESS WOUND UP.
When the convention got together
again, half an hour later, Ignatius Don
nelly, to the surprise of great many,
declared that all the business could be
wound up in half an hour. Defer by
unanimous consent the little woman
suffrage matter; adopt the majority
platform report; appoint a committee
to act with the national committee of
the Peoples party to call national
convention to nominate presidential
and vice-presidential candidates, and
the thing was done.
The idea took like wild6re among the
tired and hungry delegates, and within
ten minutes the majority report was
adopted, without solitary voice of dis
sent, and amid tremendous enthusiasm.
Miss Curtis's woman suffrage resolu-
ton, as substitute for prohibition, was
then adopted without opposition, and
the convention adjourned sine die, after
appointing the following conference
committee to act with the Peoples party
national committee Van Wyck, Ne
braska McCnne, Texas: Branch, Geor-
gia Powers, Nebraska; Mcguire, New
York Polk, North Carolina; Willets,

Late tonight the conference committee
selected July 4th as the date for the con-
vention, the selection of the place being
left to a subcommittee Of ten, to be
appointed by Taubeneck OF Illinois.
