THAT CHINESE TRAITOR.
Feathered His Nest With Taels and
Quarrelled With the Viceroy.

LONDON, Oct. ga dispatch
from Shanghai today says that
Sheng, the taolai, or district mag
istrate of Tien Using, whose dis
grace and flight has already been
reported, bought from Germany
100000 discarded rifles for which
he paid two taels each and charged
the government nine taels. He al
so bought large quantity Of cart
ridges, which were found to be
utterly useless. Lii Hung Chang
discovered the fraud and sum-
moned Sheng to him. In the inter-
view that followed Ii Hung Chang
is said to have slapped Sheng's
face. Sheng later made applica-
cation for leave of absence on the
plea that he was i'll, and the leave
was granted.

THE UNION PACIFIC RATE WAR.
Passengers From Omaha to Go Via
Portland and the Sea.


CHICAGO, April 23--The Union Pacific
has made arrangements TO handle its i'm
migrant traffic over its line 10 Portland
and thence By steamer to San Francisco
at the same rate as quoted by other lines
from the Missouri river. This novel in
dicates that it has practically no
hope that the Southern Pacific will
espouse its cause in the fight With
the Western Passenger Association. 1t has
requested the trunk lines 10 ticket bust
ness 10 Omaha, where il will take i, up
and carry il 10 Portland. The Southern
Pacific today notified the Western Passen-
ger Association lines that il would not par.
ticipate in the sl6.i0 rate from the Mis-
souri, river 10 Ogden and also requested the
trunk lines to issue no tickets 81 that rate.
The Western lines informed the Southern
Pacific that, as they had already informed
ii several times. the Southern Pacific was
not expected TO participate in the cut rates.
i. being the intention of the association
lines 10 extend the entire jurisdiction and
allow the Southern Pacific 10 receive the
same percentages IS IN effect before the re-
dgction of rates.
The situation is daily growing more
complicated. and the opinion is general
that the fight will extend 10 n-st-class pas
Senger tickets before the old rates come
back again.
