CITY OF MEXICO, Feb. 26.-Congress-
man Wilson is in the private car of A. A.

Consul-General Crittenden and Con-

SANTA FE STARTS IN FIRST.
Twenty Dollars From Denver
to Southern California.
OTHER LINES MEET THE CUT.
Soon Travelling Will Be Exceedingly
Cheap Between the East and
California Points.

CHICAGO. Feb. pa meeting of the
Western Passenger Association will be
held tomorrow 10 discuss the transconti-
mental rate situation. Some lines are dis
posed to criticize the action of the Atchison
in reducing rates before securing the
unanimous consent of the association.
They complain they will now lose their
revenue because compelled to reduce rates
to intermediate points. The Atchison re-
plies it has used every effort to keep a
reduced rate out Of the association terri
tory, and if the association continues
talking it will have to leave the associa-
tion entirely.
The Southern Pacific to-day notified
connections they may meet the through
Ogden and Ell Paso cuts recently made in
California business by the Atchison. This
shows the Southern Pacific is as ready to
fight S the Atchison.
DENVER, Feb. 26.-The rate war to Cal
ifornia opened In earnest this morning
when the Santa Fe announced rate of
$50 to all points on its southern system and
S35 90 from Denver TO Los Angeles and re-
turn. This is the first cut and that it
means business is shown from the fact
that the regular round-trip rate up TO to-
day from Denver to San Francisco had
been $50. Railroad officials expect a still
further reduction before the trouble is set
tied.
OMAHA, Neb.. Feb. 26.-The Union Pa
cifc and the Burlington roads to-day de.
clded to accept the tender of the Southern
Pacific of the rate offered yesterday by
that road to meet the cut made by the
Santa Fe.
General Passenger Agents Lomax and
Francis held conference this morning
and agreed to make the ronnd-trip rate from
Missouri River to San Francisco S35 80.
and the way rate $50. to go into effect
March /.
This Will have the effect of throwing
down the bars that so far have prevented
big transcontinental passed. ger rate war.
The Union Pacific and the Burlington had
refused to accept the rate. and the South
cru Pacific could only meet the Santa Fe
cut by the way of FL Paso.
KANSAS CITY, Feb. ga. II. Noffat,
general southwestern agent OF the Rock
Island. wired the local Office to-day to
make a one-way rate of $40 from Kansas
City to all Southern California points by
way of Fort Worth and Ell Paso; S35 90
for rou nd-trip tickets good for fifty days,
and to be placed on sale after March /.
The same rate applies to San Francisco by
way of the Rock Island to Denver, Denver
and Rio Grande and Rio Grande Western
to Ogden and the Southern Pacific from
Ogden to San Francisco by way of Sacra-
mento. This is really an additional cut
and will force the Santa Fe to cut the rate
from Kansas City to Los Angeles SIS in
order to permit San Francisco passengers
TO reach that city for the same price the
Rock Island offers.

AND THEN TAKES HIS LIFE.
He Missed His ,Enemy's, but
Pierced His Own Heart.
A BIG SENSATION IN SEATTLE.
Contractor White Fires Three Bullets
at His Foreman for Alleged
Wrong-DOing.

SEATTLE, Wash. Feb. 26.-W n. White,
a. prominent contractor Of this city, this
evening fred three bullets from his revol-
YER into James S. Holt. formerly his fore
man. The shooting occurred in barn in
North Seattle, and few minutes later
White put a bullet through his own
heart. Whites insane jealousy of his
wife, whom he charged with being inti-
mate with Holt. caused the deed. holt
lies in a hospital. with his chances of re-
coverY about even.
White has long been jealous of Holt
who roOmed at his house for three years
previous to last spring. and on one occa-
sion made brutal assault on him. After
ward he apologlzed. and the affair was
quieted. A month ago Mrs. White left
her husband because he was con tinually
nagging her about Holt
This evening White armed himself with
a revolver and went to the barn where
Holt keeps his horses He entered the
harness-room and found Holt on his knees
mending his harness. White asked for
Dan Mcdonald. Hollis partner, and on
being told that he was not in, drew his
revolver and fred. A struggle followed.
during which three shots were fred.
Finally Holt broke away and ran for a
small room on the opposite side OF the
barn. White followed and tried to get
into the room, but Holt held the door.
There was a broken panel in the bottom
of the door, and through this White could
see how Holt was holding the door
Taking his bearings accordingly, White
put the barrel of the gun close to the door
where he thought it would pierce Bolts
heart. and fred. The bullet passed just
above the heart missing it by thread.
White then ran from the barn, but see.
ing himself pursued he stopped. putting
the gun to his breast and fred. After the
shot he walked two rods and then fell
dead. White left two letters-one to his
wife telling her that she was responsible
for what had happened, and another to
DR.. j. E. Crichton. the family physician,
telling him that on the night of February
25, 1894. he had told Holt to cease atten-
tons to his wife. Holt refused, and he
finished by saying that Mrs. White had
promised to leave Holt alone when she
separated from him (White), but she had
not done SO.
DR.. CrichtOn admits that White has
often misused his wife, and that when
Holt interfered White became insanely
jealous without any cause whatever. Mrs.
White has always borne a most excellent
reputation, and she is not blamed In the
least for any of the trouble which culmi-
mated in her husbands attempt to kill
Holt and then sending a bullet through
his own heart

THEY ARE ANXIOUS.
Stories About the Removal of
the State Capital.
A Newspaper Claims to Have Posi-
tive Information About the
Courts Opinion.

SACRAMENTO. Feb. 26.-The Bee this
evening says that for nearly a week past
it has been in possession Of story 10 the
effect that the capital removal question in
the case Of Rideout VS.. Waite had been
decided by the Supreme Court.
According to this story the opinion has
been written by Justice Gsroutte, in which
it is held that Sacramento has won a vic
tory upon every point. 1t is also said that
this opinion was concurred in by all the
other Justices.
Among the rumors which are also afioat
is one TO the effect that the court held
that the offer of San. Jose to give ten
acres of land for a capitol site and $1,000
600 in coin was IN the nature of bride,
and was therefore against public policy
and that if such thing were permitted,
not only the capitol, but other public
buildings would be continually upon the
wing; and furthermore it states that law
makers might be Influenced in a similar
manner by offers OF land and money to do
certain things which would be detrimental
to the commonwealth.

GET THE USUAL PAY.
Judge Riner Favors the Union Pacific
Employees.

CHEYENNE. Feb. 26.-George L. Hodges,
counsel for the Uninn Pacific Railway en-
ployes. appeared before Judge Riner of
the United States Circuit Court to-day and
obtained an order that the schedule of
pay and rules and regulations affecting the
employees in force when the Union Pacific
receivers took charge be continued in force
until further orders of the court. The
court directs the receivers 10 cause notices
of the order to be distributed among the
employees. Judge Riner will tomorrow
make the same order in Colorado as In
Wyoming. This action was taken because
the Union Pacific receivers were notifying
employees that the new schedule would be
enforced, regardless of the fact that Judges
Hailett and Riner had refused to enter
Judge Dundy's order in their jurisd lotions.

WEARY OF THE DEADLOCK.
A New Jersey Democratic Senator
Who Has Had Enough,

TRENTON IN. j., Feb. 27.-The first
break from the Democratic Senate came
tonight, when Senator Miller of Cape May
made speech denouncing the deadlock,
and declaring his intention to have moth
ing more to do with the Senate. He did
not propose to go into the Republican
Senate. nor make himself more conspicuous
than necessary. but before he would see
the Republicans adjourn sine die he would
invite them into the chamber and assure
them Of his support.
The opinion prevails here that the &C
ton of Miller practically means an end of
the deadlock; that two Democratic Sem
arors voting with the Republicans for
seating members made the case OF the
deadlock almost hopeless one, and the
taking of further testimony on the quo
warranto proceedings merely a matter of
form.
