TAKE THE PACIFIC ROADS.
Harris Of Kansas Advances the

The Government to Pay the First Mort.

for Competition.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The Pacific Rail-
roads debt question will not down. Harris,
of Kansas, a member of the Pacific Rail
roads Committee, has now presented an
other bill which he will try and have re-
ported from that committee. 1t is similar
in its general provisions to the bill intro
duced by Senator Mcconnell of Idaho in
the Fifty-frst Congress.
The Attorney-Gcneral is directed to COM
mence condemnation proceedings (under
the right of eminent domain) within sixty
days after the bills passage against
all property, real and personal, of
the several bonded Pacific roads on
which the Government holds mort
gage, together with terminal stations
at Omaha, Oakland, Kansas City, Denver
and San Francisco (and the Omaha bridget.
A board of three War Department en-
gineers is to appraise the property and re-
port to the Attorney-Gener within six
months after the organization of the board.
The copy of their report is to be filed in the
Supreme Court.
The Attorney-General, within sixty days
after the passage of this act, shall institute
proceedings to forfeit charters, and the
United States court shall advance these
suits on it's docket The Secretary of the
Treasury is directed to prepare full legal

CALLED DOWN.
He Will Not Act as Receiver of the
Whisky Trust.
Scored by Judge GroSScup for Having
Praeticed an Imposition, and Then
IncOnlinently Thrown Out.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Judge Grosscup to-day
ousted J. B. Greenhut from the receiver
ship of the Whisky Trust. He allowed
Receiver Lawrence TO remain as representa-
tive of the directors, and appointed Gen.
eral John McNulta receiver-in-ehief. John
j. Mitchell was appointed another receiver
to represent the New York stockholders.
Judge Grosscup's decision was lengthy
and somewhat sensational. After an ex-
haustive review of the case he declared
that the court had been imposed upon in
the selection of President Greenhut as one
of the receivers. A receivers duty, he
said, should be the enhancing of the value
of the property which he is to control.
Admissions in court had shown that Mr..
Greenhut was heavily short on the stock,
and that accordingly his personal interest
would dictate the de probation of the stock
rather than the enhancing of its value. BY
admissions of counsel, the court said, it
was shown that the property interested in
the original application for receiver for
the company was very small.
1t was also shown that neither the presi-
dent nor directors had any substantial
interest in the company. The evidence
showed, Judge Grosscup said, that vast
portion of the stock was held by New York
stockholders for speculative purposes.
He could not exactly approve of calling
in United States court as referee, but as
it was evident that referee was needed,
and as he had been appealed to, he would
act. He again denounced the selection of
President Greenhut as receiver as an i'm
position on the court, and closed with the
curt statement that "for these and other
sufficient reasons Mr.. Greenhut is re-
moved"
In an interview Levi Mayer, one of the
attorneys of the stockholders committee,
said: "The stockholders will now proceed
to the immediate reorganization of the
company, and when that is perfected they
will of course be in a position to take the
property out of the hands of the receivers.
In the meantime it will become necessary
to have a thorough investigation of the
books of the company and to ascertain just
how the insiders, particularly Messrs. Nor
ris and Greenhut. have conducted its af-
fairs };

STRUCK BY A COLD WAVE.
ALI Of the Middle West Feels the
Blizzard.
One Unfortunate Occupant Of a Chicago
Flat Was Found Frozen
to Death.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-The sharpest cold wave
that has visited Chicago for twenty-five
years made its appearance last night and
is still on with unabated vigor. The mer-
curry in the Office of the signal service last
night fell to 13 degrees below zero, the
coldest on record since 1873.
The thermometers owned by private in
dividuals went the Government affair four
to five degrees worse and marked from 16
to 10 below. Several cases of freezing
were reported, and in a fat at 132 West
Brighton street M. Carmody was found
frozen to death.
The police have rounded up any number
of gentlemen who, having filled themselves
with red liquor had selected alleys and
vacant lots as places to slumber. a num-
Der of them are in the hospitals for treat
ment for frozen hands and feet.
The supply of natural gas, on
which many restaurants depend for
cooking, has been flowing weakly all to-
day and most of the restaurant-ke keepers
are racing to get enough coal oil to keep
them going until the gas comes up. The
Weather Office tonight predicts four de-
grees more of the same kind of thing.
Reports from many places in Illinois,
Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan show the
same state of affairs, the mercury ranging
from degrees below in Southern Illinois
to 20 degrees below in Northern Wisconsin.

HELD UP THE TRAIN.
The Santa Fe's California Express
Stopped by Bandits.
Could Not Get at the Express, SO They
Relieved the Passengers of Their
YaluableS.

PUEBLO, Feb. 5.-The Western expression
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail-
road. train No 1, bound for Colorado and
California points, was held up one mile
west of Sylvia Reno County, Kansas, at
:25 O'Clock last night by four masked
men, who signaled danger.
Two of the robbers covered the engineer
and firemen and two went to the express
car. For some reason they failed to effect
an entrance, and then went to the coaches
and made the passengers give up all their
valuables. The train was held for an hour
and ten minutes by the robbers, who then
rode off to the south.
Conductor McGrath ran his train back to
Sylvia and gave the alarm, and Sheriff
Patton was on the train with his posse In a
few minutes. The robbers are believed to
be members of the Tafford gang. One of
the pair who went through the train is de-
scribed in height as feet 6 inches, and
wore wide-rimmed gray hat The other
man was tall and wore macintosh.

DISMISSED AT WOODLAND.
Knox, Mullen and Compton Spared
the Ordeal Of a Trial.
As There Was No Probability Of Securing
a Conviction It Vas Decided to
Save YOlO County Expense.

WOODLAND, Feb. 4.-When the cases of
Knox, Mullen and Compton, the media
ton committee of the strikers, were called
this morning, District Attorney Hopkins
said he had consulted many heavy tax
payers, and all of them had advised him,
in view OF the improbability of securing
convictions, to dismiss the cases.
Judge Grant said that when iuries re-
fused to convict upon the testimony of
three eye-witnesses, it was not probable
that they would convict when the testi-
mony only tended to connect the defend
ants with the actual perpetrators OF the
crime.
Attorney Armstrong thought that if the
jury had been put in charge of the Sheriff
different verdict might have been
reached. But the court thought that the
result would have been the same had the
jury been in charge of the Almighty.
In accordance with the motion of the
District Attorney the defendants were dis
charged.

YOKOHAMA, Feb. 4.-The following naval

has Just been received here: Three forts
about Pai-chi-hyaso were taken during the
morning of January 30, Wednesday last
The naval land force at once occupied
ChiaopeE and bombarded Tatao Island.
The enemy's ships and the forts on Kung-
liu-chiu islands replied and three or four
sailors were killed.
Our ships are still outside the port. We
have had heavy weather since January 81
and the cold is intense. This prevents
naval movements. The land is invisible,
owing to the snow. With the exception of
the third flying squadron all our ships
have returned to the Gulf of Yung Ching,
ready to move when the conditions permit.
The foreign ships are observing the
movements about Wei-hai-wei.
LONDON, FEB. A dispatch to the Times
from Tientsin says Admiral Ting, COM
mander of the Chinese feet at Wei-wai
wei, landed 1000 men on Wednesday last
and made an attempt to recapture the
southern forts from the japanese. The at
tempt wrs finally abandoned and the Chi
nese re-embarked.
Admiral Ting, who was held by Viceroy
Liu Kun Yien to be partly responsible for
the fall of Port Arthur and whose case was
submitted to the Board of Punishment for
action, was active in the shore defense of
Wei-hai-wei. His conduct at the latter
has met with commendation. The Chinese
military commanders are at variance.

ton to-day received cablegram from the

explanation of the Chinese peace commits
sioners:
At the meeting of the Plenipotentiaries of
the japanese and Chinese ON the 22d Count
Ito, in an address to the Chinese Plenipoten-
tiaries, pointed out TO them the Effectiveness
and insufficiency of their powers. He gave
them positive assurances, however, that when
ever China manifested serious desire for
peace by confiding actual and full powers to
Chinese officials OF such nature and scope as
would render it certain that the terms which
might be agreed upon would be confirmed by
the Chinese Government and would actually
be carried out in good faith Japan would be
prepared to enter upon new negotiations.

ming. The entire elevator corps, four of
the watchmen, an assistant sergeant-at
arms, two assistants to the chief clerk en-
crossing clerk, file clerks, messengers all
feel the keen ak of the decapitators.
There was some little opposition to the
work of retrenchment exhibited at first.
In the first skirmish the directors saw how
futile would be their efforts and all fell i'll
line.
No trouble was experienced about a
quorum. Promptly at 80 the committees
got to work and the doors were closed.
Timothy Guy Phelps of San Mateo pre-
sided and he started the ball rolling by
questioning Weyse, the chairman of the
Committee on Attaches, as to what action
was advisable. 1t soon became evident
that the questioner was the better informed
of the two in the matter.
The watchmen of the Capitol were first
discussed. There was no doubt that there
were too many of them. Still, it was urged,
the Office was not highly paid one and
might be overlooked, and on that ground
a motion was put to retain them all. This
aroused Spencer of Lassen. He objected
strenuously, and an amendment was sug-
gested that six be retained, though Spen-
Ger thought it more than was necessary.
At this juncture Deyine, the Democratic
solon from San Francisco, made little
speech, the remembrance of which will
live long in the annals of legislation. He
was opposed to retrenchment. He did not
think any of these men should be removed.
To be sure they were Republicans, but it
was the State treasury they. were
fattening off, and he thought it poor poll
tics to forcefully detach them from the
public teat. A vote, the only one of the
evening, was taken, and the economizers
developed such strength that everybody
fell in line, and the only objections raised
were intermittent and without much
force.
Some difficulty attended the placing of
Lee Fairchild's name on the list. Devine
objected. Fairchild. he said, had made

coach law of Kentucky. Judge Barr de-
cided last summer that the law was uncon-
stitutional because it affected interstate
commerce. The railroad company then
contended that it had a rule requir-
ing the separation of white and colored
passengers aside from the law mentioned,
and asserted that the rule was reasonable
one. Upon this the issue was joined and
the verdict rendered.
Judge Barr's instructions left the jury
only to determine the amount of damages.
Immediately upon the verdict the attor-
neys for the railroad gave notice of an ap-

The tug made its way through the ice all
the way to Whiting, Ind, and neither on
the trip to that place nor on the return was
anything seen that in any way resembled
the hull of a vessel. 1t would have been
impossible for the vessel to have been in

After the return of the tug to the harbor

CARLISLE VERY RETICENT.
OF A BIG SYNDICATE.

New YORK, Feb. 4-The Press to-mor-
row viii say: On reliable authority the
Press is able to announce that the new
bond issue will be taken up by syndicate
composed of American and foreign bank
els. The issue will be at least $100,000,0OO
of gold As, and may be more. The delay
is understood to be due to the exact figures
at which they will be sold.
The men who will underwrite the new
issue, according to the best information of
Wall street, are the Rothschilds, repre-
sen ted here by August Belmont, j. Pierre
pont Morgan and several prominent local
financiers, who are heads of big moneyed
institutions in the city.
Several important factors have contril
buted into bringing the local financiers
into the deal. In the first place neither
the Morgans nor Belmont have much gold
here and hence would have to draw on the
banks, SO that the latter would have to
figure in the transaction in that way. In
the next place the Rothschilds, so it is
stated, are just as anxious to have the local
moneyed men in the deal as the latter are
anxious to be in themselves.
Assistant Treasurer Jordan, in discussing
the situation, had this to say: 81 do not ex-
pect Mr. Curtiss will find it necessary to
come to New York again. Judging from
the inquiries we have received, think
there will be plenty of demand for the
bonds when once they are ready to be
issued. The general conviction is that
the loan will be announced in a very short
time"
The Press also learns from trustworthy
source that there will be an opportunity
given to the public to make bid on the
new bonds. Inside advices are that the
local financiers will take about $50, 100000
of the new loan and the remainder will go
to foreign houses.
