FOR A NEW ROAD.
Receiver McNeill Has a
Scheme,
AND MAY WORK 1T YET.
Giving San Francisco Railroad
Competition.
TO BREAK THE UNION PACIFIC.
Then the Donahue Road Would Be
Extended to Meet the Oregon
Short Line.
TO BREAK THE UNION PACIFIC.

OMAHA. Dec. 15.-The sensational story
published in Chicago this morning relative
to a ombination being concealed behind
the attempt of the branch lines of the
Union Pacific to secure separate receiver
ships turns out to be mere idle rumor and
not at all authentic. This is the situation
as explained at Union Pacific headquarters
to-day:
For some time past ithas been the ambi-
tion of Receiver McNeill of the Oregon
Raj lway and Navigation Company to
bring about o separate receivershiD for
the Oregon Short Line and Utah North
ern, the road being al present operated by
Receivers Clark. Mink. Anderson, Doane
and Coudert of the Union Pacific under
directions of the Circuit Court, although
the accounts are kept separate from the
other portions Of the Union Pacific system.
Mr.. McNeill, it is understood, has long
been desirous of combining the Oregon
Short Line and Utah Northern with the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company,
thereby making the two roads an nde-
pendent system. But the scheme was not
to end here. A California outlet was to
be secured by extending small road, now
termir ating at San Francisco, for dis
tance of 400 miles, connecting with the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company,
thus giving the company a through line
from Huntington to the coast via Port
land. For months this has been a waking
and sleeping dream of Major McNeill, but
when he broached the subjsct of an inde-
pendent line to Mr.. Boissevaia, who has
large interests in both properties, it is
understood that gentleman told the navi-
CATION company's receiver that he was
entirely satisfied to have the management
in the control of the present receivers.
While the officials at headquarters
would not talk i'll detail about the story
from Chicago they minated that for sew
eral months past they had an intlmation
that such a scheme was talked about, but
placed no credence in the Iumor. Judge
j. M. Thurston, who returned from Chi
cago this morning, said in reply to ques-
tion that the scheme of reorganization
emanated from interests hostile to the
Union Pacific. He had heard the matter
talked of for some time, but thought there
was absolutely nothing in the story. He
placed little credence in the assertion that
any such combination was likely to effect
a change, in view of the fact that the
stockholders OF the property seemed salts
fed with the present man nagement.

USED, nut II must have been a terrible one.
1t will hurt pugllism and make me more
anxious than ever to get out of the busi-
ness.'
"Do you not believe the refined So
called glove con tests of recent years under
Queensberry rules, as compared with the
old-time London ring rules, with bare
knuckles. on the turf, are subjected to
doubt In the light of the numerous fatali-
ties and serious injuries that have taken
place?"
mo, don't. The many fatalities tnat
have taken place OF late cannot. 1 believe,
be ascribed to the style of fighting. but 10
the men who use 1t. In these days fighters
train more. are in better condition and in
every respect more sklllful and scientific
than they were in the DAYS when the
London prize-ring rules were in vogue.
One reason why So many more accidents
attend boxing these days is that the
boxers pick out vital spots on which to
strike 3 man, and with added skill are
able to reach their aim more often. The
boxers of to-day are more scientific than
those of former days and to this alone
may be charged most of the accidents.
The contests under London prize-ring
rules were far more brutal than those
fought under QueensDerry rules. London
rules permit man to throw his antagonist
and then jump on him after he is down.
No. don't believe there can be any COM
parison between the two methods Of
fighting"

LAUGHED IN MOCKERY
German Socialists Deride the
New Chancellor.
1t Is Asserted in the Reichstag That
the United States Must
Be Punished.

BERLIN, Dec 15.-lt is stated that Herr
Won LevetZow, President of the Reich
stag, has threa tened to resign unless the
anti-revOlutionary bill is disposed of be-
fore Christmas. 1t is added that a ma
jOritY. Of the members of the Reichstag
therefore yielded. although they were
anxious to return home, and the anti
revolutionary bill will be taken up next
week.
In the Reichstag to-day Count Won Linn
burg-Stirum declared that the arrange
ment with the United States by which
Germany's hands were tied was very
serious matter. Under the "most favored
nation" clause Germany, he added, was
helpless. and he hoped at the expira ton
of the present treaty Germany would re-
turn to the autonomous tariffs. It was a
regrettable fact, he added, that the United
States, in contravention of a clearly de-
fined treaty. dared to tax Germauy's
sugars. 1t would not have occurred, the
speaker declared, under Prince Bismarck S
regime.
Referring to the prohibition against the
landing of American cattle and fresh meat
Count Won Lin burg-Stirum said that these
measures could not be regarded as effective
reprisaIs. The debate on the Interpolation
Of Herr Paasche and Frieberg asking the
Government to amend the law for the
taxation OF sugar in order to remove the
injuries produced on the sugar industry of
Germany by the imposts placed upon Ger
many's sugar by foreign countries was
then dropped.
The debate was then commenced on the
report of the committee referring to the
rejection of application to prosecute Herr
Liebknecht forsalleged reasonable utter
snees in the Reicbstsg, as well as on the
report of the committee recommending the
rejection of the resolution offered to
strengthen the disciplinary powers of the
President in the Reichstag. Prince Ro-
henlobe, the Chancellor, was present. He
looked i'll. The debate was disappointing
to those who expected a sensation of any
kind. Alter Herr Karen had spoken in
defense Of the committees report Prince
Hohenlohe followed with a brief and
effective speech. His declaration that the
only means to punish socialists was to call
in the aid of the courts was reeted with
mocking laughter.

MORE VICTIMS FOUND.
Further Brutalities of the Kurds
in Armenia.
The Porte 1as Consented to Let For
eign ConsuIs Sit With the
Commission.

ATHENS, Dec. 15.-Armenian refugees
to-day received information TO the effect
that Bakey Pasha, the Kurd Governor of
Van. went, on November IA. to the dis
trict of Ecedjeki, and laid the Armenian
villages of BahazekeZn and Hazsray in
ruins. His troops. it is also said, commit
ted excesses, then seized and cruelty NAL
treated 124 peasants and imprisoned them
on the ground that they were insurgents.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Dec. 15.-The pro-
posal that the Consuls of Great Britain,
Russia and France shall act with the
Armenian commission appointed to in
vestigate the reported atrocities of the
Turkish soldiers in Armenia emanated
from the Porte, in consequence of Great
Brltains' representations on the subject.
But it is now stated that the COnsuls of
the three powers will only follow the COM
missions deliberations and make sugges-
ions regarding the presence and exam
ination OF witnesses. The Consuls will
not sit with the commission, but their
pre-, ence is expected to reassure the popu-
lalion.
The Porte will be officially Informed of
the Instructions which will be given to
the COnsuls by their respective Govern
ments, and a formal request to the Porte
for permission to send the Consuls with
the Turkish commits sion will also be made
by the powers interested in order to facil-
itate their task.

BAKER THE BAD MAN.
Would Not Share His Spoil
With Seely.
SO the Defaulting Cashier Had to
Make His Flight Without
Any Money.

NEW YORK, Dec 15.-Samusl G. Seely,
the defaulting bookkeeper of the Shoe and
Lea her Bank. will be arraigned in the
United States Circuit Court on Monday.
His attorney, Mr.. Angel, intimated to-day
that the defaulter would throw himself on
the mercy of the court. The attorney
says Seely received not more than $4,000
of the money stolen from the bank. which
was given to him in sums ranging from
$25 to $500. for which Frederick Baker
took his notes.
81 have in my possession" said Angel,
'sab0ut half dozen of these notes. their
aggregate amount being $500. Seely told
me to-day that he always thought Baker
would make good the stealings, as Mer-
ftt, Bakers clerk. had told him that
Baker was worth over $500, 900, nearly all
of which was in real estate. When Seely
would ask Baker to pay up Baker would
put him off by saying that his property
was in such a condition that it could not
be sold except at great sacrifice"
After time Sesly says he saw the situa-
tion becoming more hopeless with each
passing day. but this seems to have made
no difference TO Baker, who continued
drawing money from the bank until Seely
warned him to desist The story of
Seely's flight from this city. his aimless
wanderings before reaching Chicago, and
his meeting with Mcfarland. who deliy-
cred him over to the police, was one in
which terror and ingratitude are most
strongly blended.
Lawyer Angel relates that Seely left the
bank for the first time after so fixing his
books that by com parison with those of
the paying teller the exact amount of the
Gefalcation could have been discovered
within half an hour. Seely then took the
midnight train over the Pennsylvania Rail.

Pa, which place he reached in the after
noon. He then bought ticket for
Chicago, where he arrived the next day.
Sunday. at 10 o'clock in the morning.
"At no time during the remainder of his
stay in Chicago" said Angel ''did Seely
make any attempt TO disguise himself.
He was all the while in condition border
ing on mental collapse"
