CHEAP FARES IN PROSPECT.
Five Dollars May Be the Cost of Tickets
to the Pacific Coast.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-There is blood on the
moon so far as transcontinental passenger
rates are concerned. Unless all signs fail,
March ! will see the beginning of one of
the hottest railroad wars in recent years.
The action taken by the Southern Pacific
in boycotting the Atchison tickets has
moved the latter road to wrath. and as
soon as Vice President Robinson returns
from the Pacific coast active preparations
will be begun. Mr.. Robinson is expected
TO return TO Chicago by Thursday Of this
week. 1t is harly probable that the fight
will begin until after the Southern Pacific
has put its boycott into active operation.
There is possibility that before the trouble
Is over people will be able to go from the
MISSOURI river to the Pacific coast for So
The Atchison Is In excellent shape for a.
fight, as, being In the hands OF a receiver
1t is bound to make more money than
Is necessary to pay operating expenses
while the Southern Pacific must be more
conservative of revenues Its officers de-
clared to-day that they had not been the
aggressors. but that If they were forced
into the fight, for which they are now act
lively preparing, they will be there at the
finish. A rate war lust at this time would
give the Western Passenger Association an
other close call for its life and the emf
grant clearing house, which has been es-
tablished with much care, will probably
go to everlasting smash

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 17.-If a bomb

camp local knights Of Labor could not have
been more surprised than they were to-day
when John w. Hayes, general secretary
treasurer of the order, issued the following
notice addressed ITO the order, wherever

TERRORIZED BY LIONS
Three Big Savage Beasts Loose
Among Kansas POpuliStS.
Broke from Their Circus Cage, Escaped
to Lot and Killed Four Head of
Colonel Sells's Cattle.

TOPEKA, Kan. Feb. I.-Three big, hun
cry lions escaped from Sells & Renfrow's
winter quarters in the heart of Topeka,
late last night and, during the time they
were at large, terrorized the community as
only three hungry savage lions could. The
elephants were engaged in a fight which
made the lions nervous. Three OF the lions
were in cage and a large one, named
Nero, in another cage near by. The three
became engaged in battle which ended in
all Of them gaining their liberty. The keep
er, who was alone, and not prepared for
such an emergency, ran out OF the building,
leaving open the door to the lot in the rear
Of the building, and the three lions were
out in moment. There were four head Of
fine cattle belonging to Colonel Sells in
this lot and they soon became the prey of
the lions. Colonel Sells was notified and by
the time he arrived the beasts had killed
the cattle and were sucking their blood,
which made them all the more ferocious
and unmanageable. Torches were procured
and fires built, irons heated and, after two
hours of hard work the beasts were driven
back into another cage that was placed
near the entrance of the buildings.

MIR. Wilson'S Views.

Ell PASO. Tex, Feb. 17.-Congressmen
Wilson and Tarsney arrived here at noon
to-day on their way TO the City Of Mexico
for months rest. Mr.. Wilson has been
greatly improved by the balmy breezes of
the Southwest. Asked about the rejection
OF Peckham, he said he was not greatly
surprised, though he was not altogether
prepared for the vote as it came. Speaking
of his tariff bill in the Senate, Mr. Wilson
said that he thought it would fare much
better than the Mckinley bill, which re-
ceved five hundred amendments He thinks
that in all probability duty will be put on
sugar and possibly coal and iron. He thinks
that Senator Mills's influence i'm the sub
committee will prevent any change in the
lead ore schedule.

 be Cat Down at Least one-Third.
 County shefifr Tomlinson yesterday received notice from the judges of the supreme and superior courts that new money table for the service of writs. mileage allowances. etc, had gone into effect and that hereafter the deputy sheriffs must compile their fees in strict accordance with the new schedule. By the new table the fees are materially cut down and the rev. enue of the sherifr's office reduced at least one-third.
 It is said that the reduction has not been made because Of any cxorbitant charges by any deputy. but simply as n matter of court economy. The cases most affected are those of a criminal character. but the fees fin civil eases are also affected In a less de- gree. This action was decided upon at a recent executive session of the judges, but the matter was kept secret until yesterday whom it leaked out and became public property. The deputy sheriffs are naturally very much upset by the change of the rates and claim that 1t will be almost an absolute im- possibility for any Of them to make even halfway decent living.
 As the matter now stands either the number of deputies will be reduced by one-third or all the deputies will be retained and their fees reduced. glv- ing to each one lees than a fair living income. Several Of the deputies. in speaking of the matter late yesterday afternoon. expressed the opinion that the reduction of the fees would neces- sarily have the effect of causing num- Der Of the deputy sheriffs to seek new occupations.
