QUIETISG THE BRIrIs IERs.

The True Inwardness of tho Change In
the Central Pacific-
SAN Francisco, March rs. II. II. Hub
bard, who is attorney for Edward
Searles, and who was the representative
of the Hopkins interest in the Central
and Southern Pacific companies, said to-
day that the significance in the recent
change in the Central Pacific directorate
was, more than anything else, u paciti'
cation of the English shareholders.
The Examiner says: ut is known
ahat those gentlemen are violently pro-
testing against the cutting off OF their
dividends, and something had TO be done
to ouist their nerves. They objected to
q contract consummated By two boards
OF directors when the personnel OF both
was almost identical. They were sur
prised to learn that the directors OF the
Central and Southern Pacific companies
had been making contracts with them
selves, that disastrously affected the in
terests Of 30 many outsiders. These
complaints being heard, the personnel
of the Central Pacific wac agreed on so
that no man should be called on to serve
both companies at the came time"
Touching the settlement of the bond
question, the indebtedness of the Cen.
tral Pacific to the United States and the
governments assumption OF the first
mortgage by issuing new bonds. to run
l25 years, Mr.. Hubbard said nothing
effective could be done by the company.
Isaac L Rsqua, one Of the new direct
ors, the Examiner says, is a great per-
sonal friend OF G. P. Huntington. j. o.
B. Gum. the other director. is not known
to have large interest in the
Central Pacific. II is stated that
both these directors ale merely auto
mata, elected to do the bidding OF Hunt
ington. The English shareholders have
been making telegrsphic demands for
more equitable consideration, and In
response to these demands G. P. Hunt
ington has directed his agents In the
new directorate to make another aItera-
ton in the lease between the Southern
Pacific and the Central Pacific.
The Britishers, says the Examiner.
asked that the provision for paying
81, 300, 900 in dividends to Central Pacific
shareholders be restored to the lease.
This demand was not acceded to. but
Mr.. Huntington, who is fond OF joke,
has ordered the insertion of clause
which says that the payment OF 81, 30O,-
600 in dividends shall be resumed as
soon as the earnings OF the Central Pa
cific CONF pany shall warrant such action.
This ia sample OF grim western humor
that the Londoners are expected to ap-
preciate and applaud.

THEY FOUND A BOMB.
ITS CONNECTION WITH THE ROS-
COE TRAIN ROBBERY.
The Bomb was Found Near Johns on's
House-gome Worry Sensational
Developments Tx
pc ctsd.

A bomb waa brought in yesterday
from the vicinity OF the Roscoe train
robbery which may put a new phase
upon the arrest OF Alvs Johnson and
George Smith. The dangerous explosive
was Iound within two miles OF Johnson's
house. and, according to the statement
OF those who found it, Ii had every ap-
pearancs OF having been there several
weeks.
Ths material OF which 1t ia composed
is similar to that OF the bomb used in
entering the express car the night OF
the robbery, although none OF its com
ponents has been identified as having
been in the possession or having been
in anv way connected with Alva john
son. 1t may be possible that the finders,
Messrs. Hall, Blodgett and Suttle, who
reside in Eagle Rock valley. will give
more inside facts On the bombs discov-
cry at the examination OF Johnson and
Smith tomorrow.
There is q strong belief that the men
charged with the robbery are innocent.
f.. Z. Reecher, the complaining witness,
said himself that he did not believe the
men committed the robbery, but that
the circum stantial evidence certainly
warranted the arrest.
A sensational development occurred
yes eriay when it became known that
the officers suspected other pereone oil
committing the robbery.

sERxlAs STOCK TROUBLE.

I'm n MuddIn Over Who Shall Rule, While
Milan Poses as Patriot.
The frugal Servians just now are torn
by conflicting emotions. King Alexander
and his erratic, disreputable father have
managed between them to ALLEVIATE what
little love had been left in Servia for the
Obrenovitsch dynasty, and if the Kara
georgevitch pretenders were reasonably
respectable and fairly disinterested they
could obtain the throne without much.
difficulty. But Prince Arsene and Prince
Peter are, in their way, not much to be
preferred to ex-King Milan and his son.
They are ambitious. autocratic, extrava-
CANT and heavily i'll debt, and their morals
will not bear severe scrutiny.
They are surrounded by impecunious
Russian mobiles and loose people Of both
sexes, all Of whom will have TO be lib
orally provided for in the event Of the
Karageorgevitch restoration out of the
national treasury, and, to crown their
disadvantages In tho eyes of the Servian
farmers, they claim tho retrocession to
them of the enormous estates which
were formerly the private property Of
their house, and which were confscated
to the state when the head of the Kara
georgevitch family was assassinated and
all his relatives were kicked out Of the
country.
On the whole. therefore, Arscne and
Peter would be more expensive than Mi
Ian and Alexander. AS the question is
mainlysone of money, the latter will in
all probability remain in Belgrade, the
establishment of republic being entire
ly out Of the question. Meanwhile Mi
Ian poses as a patriot He pines for Parts
and its supreme delights, which it is i'm
possible to enjoy in semibarbarous Bel
grade, but q stern sense Of duty keeps
him at his sons side. Privately he is
haggling with the ministers as to the sum
which shall be paid him to clear out. He
has limited that If his price be not paid
he will have himself appointed general
issimo and inspector Of the army and set
tie permanently in the country. The ap-
palling prospect thus opened is likely
materially to hasten settlement.-Bel-
grade Letter.

LOST IN ALASKAN WILps.

An Explorers Disregard of His Conpaa-

Death from either starvation or expo
surein the biting winter weather of south
western Alaska or perhaps suicide as the
only means of avoiding the horrible fate
In store for himself-such is the fato of
NJ. Gross, Canadian surveyor.
Gross, with four companions, left Fort
Wrangle on the Goth of january, the
party intending to hunt, fish and perhaps
do some prospecting. When they got to
Portage bay, they made permanent camp.
1t was early morning and Gross told his
companions that he intended to dive a
little into tho interior and would be back
before night.
He was cautioned against going out
alone, as it was known that he was not
familiar with the surrounding country,
and it was feared that he might get lost
in the woods. He disregarded the Gd-
vice of his companions, however, and at
o'clock the Same evening the other
members Of the party heard a shot in the
brush some few miles distant They
hailed and by other signs tried to guide
Gross back to camp, but were not SIC
cessful. The whole of the next day was
spent in the search, which had to be final
ly given up.
Gross is said to have been from Vic
toria. He was last year q member of
the Canadian survey party sent up to
Alaska to officially determine the terri
tory's boundary line.-Seastlo Press

Historio Rrnsa Knnoksr.

Trifes light as air have interest some
times, and apparently nothing is too
trifing to feed American curiosity. A
new brass knob has just been placed up
on MIR. Gladstone's front door in Down
ing street. It replaced one which had
done the state much service and had
been grasped by the hands Of century
of prime ministers, from Pitt upward.
Hearing of this treasure trove, an en-
terprising and sympathetic antiquary
purchased the discarded knocker for
shillings, and it is now upon its way to
New York, accompanied by half mile
of attractive personal legend, for e-lhibi'

African Disappointment.

AS a continent Africa is the home of
a vigorous race of mankind, which,
while resisting assimilation with Euro
pean civilization, deties permanent con-
quest. European travellers, traders, mis-
sionaries, conquerors, may at their will
and at their peIil penetrate into this
dark sanctuary, but their sojourn is for
a day, and Oh the morrow the faint
traces OF their passage are obliterated
by the exuberant growths Of barbarism.
Grudgingly as it issometimes conceded,
it is nevertheless fact that the bulk OF
tho continent Of Africa il still untouched
by western civilization. for one can
not believe that Africa will ever be
Europcanized or brought within the
palo of western progress. for in order
that Africa may progress it is absolute
Iy essential that 1t be developed along
natural lines, but as yet tho inherent
powers Of native genius have neither
been discovered, nor in tho absence of
any cohesion among native tribes aud in
view of European rapacity are they,
even if discovered, ever likely to be en-
couraged or fostered. No; Africa is a
continent fated to bo conquered and ex-
plotted by the heirs of civilization, to
whom it may pay tribute, but homage
