The Differences Between w. X. and His
Wife Will Not Be Aired in Court.
CHICAGO, Oct 29.-The Posts New
York special says: There is to be no
divorce in the Vanderbilt family after all.
1t was announced to-day that the diff
ferences between William X. and his
wife will not be aired for the benefit of
the world at large and New York society
In particular, as indicated two months
ago. At that time the seclusive sets of
London, Paris and New York were in
tensely agitated over the prospects of the
most sensational sort of legal battle in
which Mrs. William *. Vanderbilt, it
was expected, would reveal to the public
gaze no end of indiscretions and viola
lations of the marriage VOW on the part
OF the husband, who is worth $50, ,000, 900,
and who poses as the social representa-
tive of his family. The announcement
that Mrs. Vanderbilt will take her griey-
ances to the courts with view to secur-
ing big slice of his money and the GUS
tody of their children created, as may be
Imagined, bona fide sensation, though
such a step was not altogether unex-
pected by the initiated of the exclusive
"l5O," who are supposed to represent the
creme de te creme of the American aris-

The Police Interfere, But the Former
Was Declared the Winner.
CoNEY ISLAND IN. ", Oct. 26.-With
threatening police interference, pre-
vious postponement and a very light
card, it was not to be wondered that to-
nights assenblage at the Seaside Athletic
Club was meager. At best there were
not more than thousand people in the
building. Tim Hurst, the well-known
baseball umpire, was referee.
The bout of the evening came after sew
eral contests among the lesser, lights. 1t
was between kid" Lavigne of Saginaw,
Mich, and Johnnie Griffin of Braintree,
Mass, at ia pounds, fifteen rounds.
Lavigne's seconds were Sam Fitzpatrick,
Jimmy Carroll, Jim Collins and Billy
Lavigne. Those in his opponents corner
were George Reynolds. Bill Crowley and
Charley White.
The contest began at 1880. Both men
were wild, although Lavigne got in
couple on the body. When time was
called there was little to record. Griffin
did not look well, and handled himself
badly.
In the second round Lavigne did al
most all the fighting, being especially ef-
fective with the left.
In the next it was worse for Griffin, but
he took his punishment gamely. 1t was
the same in the fifth and sixth rounds. In
the latter both slipped down, and Griffin
left off with much the worst of it.
In the seventh Lavine fought him all
over the ring. Griftin's gameness was
remarkable.
The eighth saw matters much the
same.
Griffin aroused himself bit in the
ninth, and in the tenth gotin few good
right-handers.
The eleventh gave Griffin's hackers
new ray of hope, as he freshened won
derfully, but was very weak and tired at
the close.
In the twelfth Lavigue began to bleed
from the nose and showed visible signs
of weakening, while Griffin made many
friends by his game attempts.
In the thirteenth round there was some
terrific fighting, and Lavigne developed
some wildness in his leads.
In the fourteenth Lavigne went at it
wickedly and downed his man. Griffin
was up before the limit expired. but was
met with rain of blows. Three times ne
was all but out, but the gong sent him TO
his corner amid tremendous cheering.
In the last round Lavigne rushed and
downed Griffin as soon as the men
reached the center. Then the police in
terfered. Lavigne was declared the win
ner.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Colonel Charles

NEWPORT (Or.), Oct. %. H. Boze,
master of the brig L. w. Lucas, from
Hoodsport to San Francisco, which was
abandoned at sea off Port Orford October
oath, and who arrived here yesterday OH
the steamer Homer, makes the following
statement: I'VE battlsd against south
east gale from October 18th to the 24th.
Heavy labor in the gale and rolling dur
ing calm spells caused the vessel to max @
water more freely than ever. Two men
were kept at the pumps night and day for
week, but were not able to keep the
vessel free. The crew tried with almost
superhuman efforts to save the ship, aud
conducted themselves in a most satis-
factory manner. The crew, having suf-
fered much hardship, was on the verge of
giving out, and it was evident the vessel
would become water-logged in a short
time. On October 23d the crew begged
me TO run into port for safety and end
their sutferings, stating that they were
unable to endure the hardships any lon-
ger. could see no change in the weather,
and decided to make Port Oxford. At 6
A. NJ. October 24th we sighted the steamer
Homer, Captain Patton, from San Fran
cisco to Yaquina. l at once hoisted sig
nails of distress, which were responded TO
by the steamer. She bore down upon us
aud took myself and crew aboard. The
crew saved portion of their clothing.

BELIEF THAT THE LUCAS Is IN TOW.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29-The return
of the tugboat Fearless, which left here
for Astoria last week with the ship Kent
mire in tow, is impatiently awaited by her
owners. 1t was expected that the Fear
less would arrive in port this morning,
but it is now thought by Manager Haw-
ley of the Spreckels Towboat Company
that the tug has picked up the brig L. w.
Lucas, which, according to a1vices re-
ceived yesterday, was abandoned this
side of 4aquina. Captain Hawley thinks
it is good bet that the Fearless has the
vessel in tow, and ii the tug does not put
in an appearance before sunset he says he
will be satisfied that the morrow will find
her in port with the prize. Captain Dan
Haskell is pretty fortunate fellow, and
if he should secure the Lucas his en-
ployers figure on netting ZOO.

Miller since the death of Charles Lux
are formally accepted as partnership
lands. This is the first definite move
that has been made liz the courts to di-
vide the great property.

CHARGES AGAINST A SYNDICATE
WRITER IN NEW YORK.
Approprfates Money Raised to In
huence Sugar Legislation for
His Own Use.
Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The EUeainc
Star publishes the following story. which
gives promise Of an outcome of interest
to the public: Ii current reports are
true, there is a syndicate writer in New
Y ork whose name is to be found at the
foot of articles in many cities of the
Union who may have a very unpleasant
quarter of an hour with the Washington
correspondents before the next session
of Congress shall end. The story has
reached here, vouched for by authority
that would seem to be creditable, that one
of the incidents of the sugar trust cam
paign in Washington last winter was the
raising of q purse by the sugar trust
people to be given to this enterprising
correspondent to be distributed in WASH
lngton among the proper people where
it would do the most good'' In the opin-
ions of those who furnished the money.
and that place was the pockets of those
or without right, are supposed to have in
huence in Congress and in the making Of
public opinion throughout the country.
There are intimations that even the
men who furnished the money did so un-
der the Impression that it was to be dis
tributed pro rata among the representa-
tives of the press in Washington, in the
expectation that the comments upon the
operations of the sugar trust would be
either less severe or that they would be
altogether withheld. It is, OF course. as
sumed that the distributor of this fund
was TO receive his commission. There are
intimations, even, that list was fur
nished of the correspondents, and that it
was expected the money was to be ex-
pended in part for dinners and in such a
manner as would be appreciated by those
for whom it was intended. The man who
undertook to disburse this fund did so
with the full knowledge that it would not
be safe for him to approach any of the
gentlemen whose names may have ap-
peared on this pretended list, or any such
purpose whatever. He not only is not on
relations of confidence with them, but
he never calls upon any of them in Wash
ington.
Efforts are being made to ascertain the
truth of this report, and if it shall be
found true, some of the correspondents in
tend that he shall hear more later, possi-
bly, in the courts, and probably by COM
mlttee of Investigation.

MIDLAND PACIFIC.
Proposed Route of the New Road to
the Pacific Coast.

Proposed Route of the New Road to
the Pacific Coast.
New YORK, Oct. 29.-Maior George B.
Hibbard of this city, who has recently
returned from an extensive trip through
the Northwest and Northwestern Slope,
was interviewed by reporter. The
most important piece of news he brings
was of the new Midland Railroad over
the route which he travelled for the spe-
cial purpose of getting knowledge of
the section, in order to make a report
thereon to the Canadian and foreign can
ltallsts who are ready to invest in the
new enterprise If they should be satisfied
OF its feasibility. Major Hubbard is now
able to state that the capital. both Cana
dian and foreign, is satisfied, and that he
has therefore been enabled To enter into a
contract with United States Senator Petit
grew of South Dakota for the building of
the Midland Pacific from Sioux Falls to
Tacoma. Success of the enterprise is as
sured OF what will undoubtedly be one of
the great transcontlnental routes.
Asked IL the construction of the road
was to be undertaken at an early date
Major Hibbard replied: 'The first sec
ton, extending from Sioux Falls to the
coal fields OF Wyoming, about 400 miles,
will be built in the spring OF 1895. These
fields by the way, contain in vast quanti-
ties coal equal IN quality to the best
produced. Since South Dako ota is entirely
without coal or fuel in any amount, il
will be seen what ali advantage she will
derive from the increased facilities from
the fuel that is plentiful and cheap. The
second section, from the eastern bound
airy line OF Wyoming to the Yellowstone
Park, will be completed during the sea-
son of 1896, and in connection with the
Illinois Central air line, will furnish a
route 200 miles shorter than any other
between Chicago and the National Park.
The third section, which is expected to
follow the second section Immediately,
starts from Idaho and passes through a
country rich in mines and agriculture.
The fourth section, the Washington di-
vision, will pass through Central Wash
ington, and have it's terminal in the pecu-
liarly promising ports of Tacoma and Sc
attic. Sioux Falls, the eastern terminus,
as you know, is equally promising. Five
Eastern railroads converge there. 1t is
the most prosperous city of South Dakota
by a great deal, and is the distrib uting
center for the eastern and southern parts
of the State. The new road will have its
principal repair and other shops at Sioux
Falls, and make it the basis for the dis
tribution of all materials to be used in
the construction of the first two diyis-
ions. On the first of those active work
will be begun on June /, 1895"

CANNOT BE CoNFIsCATED.

Decision Relating to Whisky in United
States Bonded Warehouses.
WASHINGTON, Oct 29-The Attorney
General to-day rendered an opinion on
the South Carolina dispensary case pre-
sented by Governor Tillman, in which
he sustains the opinion of the Treasury
Department. holding that the State has
no authority to enter the Government
bonded warehouse for the purpose of
seizing whisky declared by the State law
to be subject to confiscation.
In the course of his opinion, he saws
1.-The legal status of distilled liquors in a
bonded warehouse of the United States
and under the control of the Collector of
Internal Revenue is definitely stated and
settled by Section 934 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, which de-
clares that all property taken or detained
by any officer or other persons under au-
thority of any revenue law of the United
States shall be irreplevinable, and shall
be deemed to be in the custody of the
law and subject TO the orders and DEGREES
of the courts OF the United States having
jurisdiction thereof.
"It cannot be held, as has been sup-
gested, and perhaps might well be, that
since the Tariff Act of 1894 the taxes due
on distilled liquors in a United States
bonded warehouse can be paid ONLY by
the distillers. Whether that be so or not.
tender of such taxes by a Sheriff is
necessarily Intellectual as against the
statute above quoted. since it is beyond
the power of an Internal Revenue Col
lector to accept it, and thus nullify the
provisions and defeat the policy of a
statute, which aims to absolutely exempt
such liquors from the operation of the
process of a State Court. Such tender.
which for the reason stated the collector
is incompetent to accept, must also be in
effectual, because no officer of South
Carolina has been given the right or
power to make it, the legislation of South
Carolina not authorizing any such tender
nor providing any fund which can be
used for that purpose

go Italians to work on an irrigating
ditch of the Tacoma and Yaquina Land
Company, of which he is manager. Not
receiving their pay, anu incensed at the
non-fultilled promises, the Italians arose
in arms on Thursday last and imprisoned
Burlingame in camp. Although his tent
was guarded, he managed by clever
ruse TO escape during the night and
reached this city in disguise sunday.
His men followed him down, and armed
guards patroled his house until this
morning, when the Sheriff escorted him
10 the Jail for protection. There he
stayed until 5 O'Clock, the force of Italians
clamoring around the prison, and the
mob was only dispersed by the action of
the Sheriff, who promised to produce
Burlingame tomorrow. Citizens fear
that bloodshed will result. as the Italians
are all armed and seem determined to
have the life of the contractor.

THE DALLEs (Or.), Oct. 29.-Another
chapter in the express robbery was un-
folded when City Night Watchman
Gibbons, who rode on the wagon with
Agent Hall from the depot to the express
office on the night of the robbery, was
arrested this morning. The Klein boy,
who made the confession, says Gibbons
was an accompiice, and, having learned
from Agent Hill that a consignment of
money was to come that night, notified
Savage and himself of the fact. Gibbons,
knowing that the boys were in an alley
near the Office, gave signals to them ac-
cording TO the preconcerted plan by
remarking loudly, as he helped Hall un-
load the treasure box, that it was very
heavy, and also by pretending to wipe
PRECIPITATION from his forehead three of
four times as he rode away with Hill TO
the Postoffice. Gibbons is also implicated
in the Postoffice robbery of Septem ber
9th.
According to Klen's statement, Glib
ons learned from the express messen-
ger, Iibbets. who delivers the mail TO the
people, that registered pouch contained
heavy packages. Gibbons notified the
boys in this city in this case also, for he
had discovered an iron shutter on the
rear window Of the Office insecurely fast
ened. Klein says Gibbons was the first
to enter the Postotfice and the last to
leave. They found that the heavy pack
ages contained only some books, but
Klein describes accurately a number of
packages opened and the amount obtained
from each one.
Klein and Savage are still in custody.
Gibbons, whose parents are highly re-
spected residents of this city, is out on
$1,000 ball. and his friends make it appear
that Klein is trying to draw him into
trouble OH account of his instrumentality
in bringing the other members of Haw-
thorne gang to justice.
