DENVER, April 7.-Wells, Taylor &
Taylor, attorneys for ex-Gov. John
Evans. have filed long petition with
the United States court asking to have
the recent election of directors OF the
Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf road set
aside.
The petition recites the protests made
by Governor Evans at the time OF the
election, April 10th, against voting Of
the stock held by the Union Pacific in
terest goss over the story OF the acqui-
sition of the Gulf by the Union Pacific
and alleges intentional mismanagement

how it was all "a put up

Pacific and the alleged mismanGgement
of the property of that corporation.
Governor Evans alleges that the re-
cent election was mere farce and q
sham" The result was previously ar
ranged and agreed upon. II is declared
that the Union Pacific Is planning to
take advantage of the poverty OF the
Gulf road, brought about by the mis-
management of the controlling corpora
ton to cause forfeiture and sale, and
that the Union Pacific designs to buy up
the property and make it a part OF the

Why tho United states Doss Not Get
More OF 1t.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-United States
Consul James Tremski at Callao, Peru,
says the small amount OF trade between
the United States and the west coast OF
South America i. due to the inadequate
means of transportation. A young
American travelling from Valparaiso,
Chile, to New York via the isthmus
said he could have gone from Valparaiso
to Buenos Ayres, thence to Europe,
thence to the United States for SIS more.
That is he could travel $1,000 miles on
the Atlantic against 1890 on the Pacific
for Sl5 more. The consul shows that
this ia brought about by bad connec-
tions and exorbitant charges and sug-
gests the establishment of fast lines
from New Orleans and New York to
Colon; also on the west coast OF South
America which would secure q large
trade to United States merchants.
