Effort to Separate interests of the
Santa Fe and the st. Louis Roads.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 23.- Before United
States Circuit Judge Caldwell this morn
ing application was made for permission
to remove so much of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe receivership as re-
lates to the st. Louis and San Francisco
road to the State courts, where the ap-
pointment of receivers other than those
now in power will be sought for the St.
Louis and San francisco. Argument
has begun.
The Atchison receivers will resist to
the utmost the effort to separate the two
systems. The movement is on the part
OF the German bondholders of the Frisco.
represented by the United States Trust
Company, trustees for the Frisco general
mortgage bondholders.
The petition of the United States Trust
Company sets forth that there remains
outstanding $7,sl9,OOO 6-per-cent. Frisco
general mortgage bonds and ST., 293, 900
5-per-cent. bonds.
Tbe former were issued June l. 1852,
and the latter July /, 1881. The interest
on these, amounting to S54l ,S95, due JanG-
ary l, 1894. remains unpaid, although the
trustee alleges the Frisco's net earnings
for the latter halfof 1893 were in excess of
the sum needed to pay such interest.
The trustee cites the allegation OF the
Atchison to the effect that the Frisco is
indebted to 1t in the sum of 81, ,500.g77 on
account of advances, and contends the in-
terests of the security holders of the two
companies is adverse to that of the major
ity of the holders of the Frisco general
mortgage bonds, and have requested the
trustee to proceed to the foreclosure and
secure the appointment of other re-
ceivers.
The Frisco and the Atchison are guar
antors of the interest of the consolidated
4 per cent. bonds of the Atlantic and Pa
cific, and are jointly, but not equally,
guaran.ors of other obligations.

BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 23.-On Wednes-

ers said she had nothing but cold meat

tramp entered the house, closed and
fastened the door and violently assaulted
her. He did not succeed in doing the
lady any injury, but he got away.

Yesterday afternoon, however, they
took him from the officers, stripped him,
tied him to a telegraph pole and gave him
very severe whipping, and fixed him SO
that he never will attempt such an out
rage again. He was then let go.

SAN RAFAEL, Feb. 23.-For several
weeks past the people in and around Sau-
salito have been kept in constant terror
over the numerous daylight robberies
perpetrated upon it's citizens, and under
the eyes of the authorities, who seemed to
be at sea as to who the perpetrators are.
At an early hour this morning the gro
Gerry establishment OF Antonio Lawrence
in Old Sausalito was broken into by
some unknown parties who, after rit1ing
the till and securing a considerable guam
tity of groceries, made good their escape.
The SausalitO Hotel, near the ferry-Sllp,
was also broken into about the same
time and considerable money and valua
bles taken. The perpetrators made en-
frances in both places by forcing open
the windows. Constable Creed was put
on the case and at a late hour to-day sue
ceeded in landing one OF the alleged cul
prits in Jail. This is the first arrest that
has been made.
John Lawler, alias Layer. a noted
forger, who was arrested several months
ago for passing a fictitious check upon a
local grocery firm here, pleaded guilty
before Judge Angellotti OF the Superior
Court to-day and was sentenced to eight

VICTORIA wooDHULL-MARTIN.
Her Case Against the Trustees of the

Her Case Against the Trustees of the
British Museum of London.
LONDON, Feb. 23.-Tne case of Mrs.
John Biddulph Martin, formerly Vic
toria Woodruff, against the Trustees
of the British Museum, was heard in the
High Court of Justice before Baron Pol
lock to-day. Mrs. Martin some time ago
obtained an order from the courts direct
ing the trustees of the museum to divulge
the names of donors to the museum of
two books relating 10 the BeecherTilton
trial. Mrs. Martin, in her petition, de-
clared that the first of these books i'm
puted that she, as Victoria Woodruff, had
published libelous and obscene literature.
The second book purported to contain
statements made during the Beecher-I Til
ton litigation, which, she claimed, re-
Elected upon her.
In court to-day Sir Richard Webster
represented the plaintiff. He said the
books contained imaginary interviews
with Woodruff, in which she was quoted
as stating that Tilton had been her lover;
that she had lived with him for three
months, and he called her the ''queen of
prostitutes" Woodruff was charged in
these interviews with black mailing Rev.
Henry Ward Reecher and counsel as
serted that the interviews made a similar
charge against w oOQhUlTS sister. Sir
Richard read extracts from the works Of
Woodruff advocating parity between the
sexes. "Unluckily," counsel continued,
"a man whom Woodruff left in control OF
her newspaper in New York inserted,
unknown to her, some disgraceful arti-
cles.'' Sir Richard said that Woodruff,
until she met Martin, lived q life of strug-
gle and suffering.
Mrs Martin took the stand and said
the interview published in a Chicago
paper in 1872 and copied into the book do
mated to the museum, and which was ono
of those she complained against, had
never occurred. The statements made in
the interview were false. When asked if
she had ever been guilty of immortality.
Mrs Martin said that from 1870 TO 1887
she was daily before the American pub
lie. and no charge had ever been made
against her character.
Sir Charles Russell, Attorney General,
who appeared for the trustees of the
museum, severely criticised Mrs. Martin
in regard to her life as a stock broker and
actress in San Francisco. Replying to
the questions, Mrs. Martin said the pros
ecution against her in the United States
on the charge of sending obscene matter
through the mails had resulted in an ac-
ouittal, the Government being forced tG
abandon the prosecution as q result of
public opinion. When questioned in re-
gard to Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Mrs.
Martin said if the Beecher-Tilden case
was to be tried again IN London she must
have time to prepare her case.
After considerable testimony was taken
the court adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Voor-

the result of a conference with the sub
committee which is shaping the tariff
bill, by which he was notined that the
members had agreed upon all features of
the bill as it is to be presented. and moth
ing remains to be done except to put the
bill in shape.
Jones, Chairman of the subcommittee,
said tonight, when asked to indicate
some modification in the bill 81 cannot
do that. 1t would not be safe. for the
reason that we are liable to make changes
up to Monday morning. The whole thing
is in the nature of an arch, and if we take
out one stone we may have to pull the
whole structure down, consequently it
would not be fair TO thepublic at this
time to make any announcement of the

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 23.-The National Cen
tral Committee of the Populist party con-
cluded its work this afternoon and issued
an address declaring that union leaders
of the old parties, under Cleveland and
John Sherman, haveforced down the vol
ume of the circulating medium to the
single gold standard, thereby enhancing
the purchasing power of money and de-
preciating the price of all products of
labor and the earnings of the wage
workers. The address opposes an inter

cial power of this country, but favors q
financial system distinctly American,
free coinage of gold and silver at ratio
of 16 to / and the issuance of standard
money exclusively by the Government,
without the Intervention of the banks.
Resolutions were adopted against the
passage of the Wilson bill, unless accom-
panied by an income tax to meet the de-
ticiency; also requesting Populist repre-
sentatives to vote against the bill if the
deficiency is to be supplied by the issue

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. Holman,
Chairman of the Democratic caucus of
the House, will call caucus at an early
date to consider a change in the House
rules by which members may be COM
PEELED to vote to make quorum. The

request is the direct result of the uproar-

day. There was a rush to get on the
paper. 1t contains the names of leading
Democrats. The name of Bland was not
on the call, for while he is severe in
deprecating the disorder of yesterday, he
says public opinion should rebuke those
responsible for it, and that change of
the rules is not desirable. New York
ers are also the exception. They are not
anxious to strengthen the rules and thus
increase the chance of the passage OF
bill such as the one pending. With these
exceptions, the call represents all shades
of opinion in the House. anti-silver men

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION STOPPED.
BUENos AYREs, Feb. 23.-Advices from
Rio state that Peixoto has stopped all
telegraphic communication between that
city and Bahia. This action is supposed
to have been taken on account of the re-
cent events in Bahia, which have weak
ened the acting Presidents position.
1t is reported here that the Govern
ment squadron has mutinied, and the
insurgent army in the southern part
OF Brazil is advancing without oppOsi-
ton. The Government troops sent TO
meet the army are said to have been
seized with panic and fled.
1t is feared the continued depreciation
of paper money will lead to a crisis.
The Bolivian forces have invaded the
western part of Brazil and established
military posts along the upper part of the
