OUT OF EXISTENCE.
The Western Passenger Association
DissOlved-A scheme Of RcOrSan-
izatiOn PrOposed-ChnirmIn CaId-
well Resigns.

Chicago, Nov 2S.-Chairm2n Cald-
well, of the Western Passenger associa-
ton, rendered his resignation today. Tt
was accepted and the Western Passen-
ger association has passed out of eX-
istence. When the meeting convened
this morning, Chairman Caldwell said
that if the zines wished to form another
associa ton they would be free to choose
such a chairman as they desired. A
resolution declaring the Western Pas
senger association out of eX-
istence was introduced and adopted
with the understanding that
the emigrant clearing house
shall remain intact Chairman
Caldwe will be retained with his prin-
cipal assistants, for the purpose of
the clearing house until the
association affairs are in a more defin-
ite shape than at present. For the pur-
pose of providing for the expenses of
the clearing house all the roads present
at the meeting pledged themselves to
contribute pro rata. The roads so
voting included several which have not
of late been members Of the Western
Passenger association and their total
number was greater than the total ever
in the association at one time.
The report on reorganization was
read and recommended that the old ter
ritory covered by the association be
placed under the jurisdiction OF five
territorial committees. The Pacific
committee HEADQUARTERS were -estab-
iished at San Francisco, and the CEN
trail at Denver. After the discussion
the general meeting adjourned TO Satur-
day morning to allow the trans-conti-
mental lines to meet on Friday and see
if they cannot arrange to do away with
the decentralization in Pacific coast
rates and thus pave the way for an
agreement of all the lines on the day
following, or on Monday.

III IS 4 SUCCESS.
San FrancfscO's Copy of the Gotham
Fad Meets with Popular Approval
-Swagger Men, Women and Hors-
on Show.

San Francisco, Nov. 2S.-San Fran
cisco's first horse Show is pronounced a
success. Early this morning the doors
of the great Mechanics pavilion were
thrown open, and by O'clock several
hundred people had entered and were
looking down upon the tanbark arena,
where thoroughbred horses, valued at
fabulous sums pranced and fretted.
In the evening show, however, the
horses played but a. second part. San
F'rancisco's swagger society felt duty
bound to follow the example set by
the smart society OF other horse show
cities. The result was an exhibition of
fine raiment and stunning western
beauty that put the magnificent
specimens of horse flesh rather at q
disadvantage.
The equine display, however, would
be a credit to any country. Among the
great thoroughbred stations shown are
Salvador, king of the Turf," Tenney.
his swaybaclled competitor, Imported
Sir Modred, the years leading sire: I'm
ported Islington, fun brother of Eng
lands great Isinglass, and Algona, sire
of Flying Jib. Among the other
celebrities are Firenzi, Queen OF the
Turf" Bessie June Middleton, dam OF
Flying Jib. and Rey FL Santa Anita.

on the Programme.

league convened in secret session again

the league, opened the discussion, and
was followed by Governor Waite. OF
Colorado, and Mr. Shinn. of Kansas.
who entered into full discussion OF
the attitude of the Republican and
Democratic parties toward silver. Both
of these speakers said there was nothing
to be hoped from the old parties by the
friends of silver and the only course
that remained open to them was to
discard all minor issues and prejudices
and join hands on the paramount ques-
ton of the day-the free and unlimited
coma sc of both gold and silver.
Judge Dean. of Colorado. talked on
the political conditions and necessities
and strongly advocated the formation
of a new party.
Other speakers followed in the same
vein.
The platform committee submitted a
lengthy report reviewing the history
of silver legislation, denouncing the
financial policy of both national par
ties, the issue of bonds by the govern
ment in time of peace, and finally de-
clarinG for the unlimited coinage Of
gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.

robbers, heavily armed and headed by
jim French, of the Cook gang, at Choctaw

store OF Lafayette Bros. One of the rob-
bers stood on guard while French and the
other fled The clerks and customers
present numbering nine people, were ar
ranged in line. French demanded of
the cashier that he open the safe. Lucki-
ly it had a time lock on it. French then
helped himself to what loose cash he
could find-S95- and in an extremely cool
and deliberate manner, selected what
blankets, tobacco, groceries. etc. he cared
for.
A holdup at Bond. few miles from
here is expected The news was received

on Inauguration Day at Montgom-
cry.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 2S.-Notwith-
standing the authorities here disclaim
any alarm over the contemplated ac-
tons of Kolb and his threat to be
sworn in as governor on Saturday,
there are warliie preparations going
on in the city. Two loads of sabres
have been sent around to police head
quarters and guns are being frightened
UP in the military armories. Not only
this, but the military of the state have
been invited" to be present at the
states capital TO attend the inaugur-
alton ceremonies, and there are other
indications that the authorities are ex-
pecting trouble with Kolb and his
crowd. The Kolbite members of the.
legislature are sullen and silent They
are non-committal and affect to know
nothing of Kolb's intention. Kolb was
in the city yesterday and reiterated his
purpose to be sworn in as governor and
to denounce the incoming governor as
fraud and usurper. He said:
eff there is any trouble I will not be
responsible for it. L will adopt only
peaceable means to secure my rights"

Of commissioners to allot Indian lands
wholly from other states than Utah
somewhat surprised those interested in
reservation matters, but it was entire
~ in line with his announced belief
that Indian affairs are not local mat

particular Indian policy, as announced
to The Herald correspondent sumo time
ago, could best be carried out by dis
interested parties. His selections are as
good as could be desired under the cir
cumstances.
Senator Dubois arrived today. but
was too i'll to speak about the alleged
Tribune interview and the reply there
to from Senator Shoup. He would not
say even that he had been misquoted
in those Interviews which have coca
stoned much surprise here, particularly
among Sweets friends, who consider
Shoup's limitations as an undeserved

They Get Nothing.

Austin, Tex, Nov. 2S.-About half
mile east of Elk two masked men
climbed over the engine tank of the
Southern Pacific train and ordered the
engineer to stop the train. The en-
gineer did as he was ordered. When
the train came to full stop the rob-
bers ordered the engineer and fireman
to get out of the cab. They ordered
the fireman to go back and cut the
train behind the express car. The rob-
bers fired several shots. When the
fireman went to the express car he only
cut the hose that ran to the coaches.
The robbers boarded the engine and
tried to pull cut, but could not. They
then left the train and nothing more
was seen OF them. BloodhOunds have
been telegraphed -, and will be in use
in few hours. The officers think they
have clue.

New York, Nov. 2S-Orders were is
sued today from the headquarters of
the American Sugar Refinery in Wall
street to shut down completely all the
. Fefneries of the company in Boston,
New York and Philadelphia Fifty
thousand operatives will be affected by
fRe closing of the sugar works.
VI explanation, President II. o. Have
meyer, Of the American Sugar Rein
ing company, said today:
THE sugar business has been bad
for some months past. We have been
hoping against hope all along and
tried to weather through the period of
depression, trusting business might
improve and that we would soon be
made to run our works to their fullest
capacity, but everything was against
US.
THE reaction that followed the pass
ing of the tariff bill brought about a
dull season and the war among the
wholesale grocers in several sections of
the country still further tended to de-
moralize trade. When to this was ad-
ded the excitement of an election can
YRss and the general report that Con-
g,ress would pass a free sugar bill
4dhlLS oil SuSdlS llCt, yOO Call IGcu-
lily see there was enough cause to COM
pei us to shut down completely.
But we ran our works up to the
present time with a reduced force in
the hope, Micawber-like, that some
thing would turn up. Our faith in the
future has failed US, and beginning to-
IEorrow we shall shut down all our
srks in Boston, New York, Philadel-
~ and Baltimore.
1--we cannot do anything else. We
arel sorry for our men and have been
trying to ward it off all along. But the
truth is we have been running our
works at a loss for several months
past. But it is time to call a halt now
The last Congress is responsible for
the present situation and if they pass
the free sugar bill at Washington, as
it is reported they will, they will kill
the sugar industry completely. Things
cannot be much worse than they are
now. There is very little difference be-
tween the prices of raw and refined
sugar, and there is no reason or justice
in continuing a business at a heavy
loss.
I'VE must either have enough profit
to cover the bald expenses of carrying
on sugar refining or else go out of the
business completely. We cannot COM
pete with the wages paid in Europe
and our men could not begin to sup
port themselves and their families at
such figures. Yet we are asked to run
our establishment with only the mar
gin in refining that is to be found be-
tween the cost of raw and refined SUI
CARS, which is now d trifie less than a
half a cent pound.
4 mo: the only thing for US to do is to
shut down completely until there is a
lharket for our goods and until we can
see our way to expenses. And 1 can
see nothing cheering or reassuring in
the outlook at the present moment"

attacks for years past, and this is by

has experienced. For a couple of days
he was confined to his bed. but he has
passed the most violent stage of his
maiady and although still suffering
is working with his message, which ne
is writing himself, and is making such
progress that it will be ready to de-
liver to Congress on the first day of
the session unless something unfore-
seen occurs.
