THE PACIFIC RAILROADS.
President Huntington's Interview with
Secretary Smith.

President Huntington's Interview with
Secretary Smith.
WASHINGTON, March 16 49, Coils =.
Huntington had an interview with the
secretary of the interior to-day regard
ing the interests of the Pacific railroad
and regarding the report that the secre-
tarv intends to issue an order directing
no more patents for land to issue to the
Union and Central Pacific roads until
there has been a settlement of the in
debtedness OF these companies.
Huntington represented to the secre-
tary that the lands had all been earned
in time, and in many cases they had
been transferred to persons who had oc-
cupied them from ten to twenty years.
He also said the companies are not seek
ing patents i'll instances where the ROAD
has not disposed of the lands, as they
became taxable as soon as the patents
were issued The states and counties IN
which the lands are situated were more
interested in securing patents, as they
became entitled to the taxes as soon as
the patents passed. Further than this
bIo tOlll ucSlICb W pOCS "a O'>SO
lands to secure money to meet payments
now about due. Huntington thought 1t
would hinder the company securing
money on lands if such an order had
been issued, and represented that
nothing overt ought to be done by the
government to prevent the company
raising funds.
Huntington, however, did not consider
this of 50 much Importance as he did the
question of settlement for the Pacific
roads debt, and he believed recon-
mendations made by the secretary OF
the interior would have great weight IN
the next congress. He insisted that be-
fore 1897 the government must act or 1t
would lose heavily. Huntington ex-
pressed the hope that the report OF the
secretary and the commissioner of rail-
roads would elaborate on the subject of
indebtedness and advise a just and
eouitable plan of settlement.

FOR THE EXPOSITION.
South American Countries Will Display
at Atlanta.

ATLANTA, Ca, March 16.-General
Isaac w. Avery, one of the three special
commissioners of the Cotton States and
international exposition, now in South
America, writes from Santiago, Chill,
that the government has made a prelim-
mary appropriation of $40 600 in gold
toward making an exhibit of its resour-
ces at the exposition in Atlanta this
fall. General Avery writes that in most
of the South American countries he has
encountered considerable opposition
among certain business elements, which
saw no good in encouraging closer busl-
ness relations with the United States,
which they argued would benefit the
| United States at the loss OF the bust
ness interests of the South American
countries. This opposition has been
everywhere silently aggressive and in
! fluential, and hard to either placate or
conquer, and has been especially strong
! in those larger and wealthier countries;
but it had gradually yielded to the true
consideration that the interests, with
the established facilities, must take the
cream of all new business created by
this undertaking of the United States.
The newspapers of Chill have been very
active in urging an appropriation, and
the leading chambers of commerce have
advocated it. The Argentine Republic
has already appropriated $3OOOO in
gold, and Venezuela, Brazil, Uruguay
and Bolivia have already sent official
acceptance of the invitation to partici-
| nate,

KANSAS CITY, March l5.-What was
doubtless an attempt to steal the S225,'

silver statue exhibited at the worlds
fair was frustrated here tonight. The
statue is on exhibition in the dry goods
store of local firm. 1t rests in plain
sight of the street and is easy OF access.
Late tonight two men, who, 1t was
later developed, had hidden themselves
in the store when it was closed this
evening, got SO far as to wrench an iron
beam off the door where the statue
stood, and were opening both doors
when discovered. The men fled and
were chased for several blocks, and al
though fired at half dozen times, es--
capped. They left the tools which would
have been necessary to remove the
statue, showing their intentions. Tracks
in the alley near by, where a rear door
had been opened, indicated they had
confederates The statue was that ior
which Ada Rehan posed as a model.

Mrs. Lease Was Successful.

Topeka, March 16.-Mrs. Mary Lease,
orator and politician, has won her latest
fight. Recently George A. Clark was
appointed by Governor Morrill, to cue
coed her as member of the state board
of charities, and the appointment was
confirmed by the senate. When Clarke
attempted to take the Office few days
ago Mrs. Lease refused to vacate. stat
ing her term did not end until 1896, and
she took steps to hold the office. Ex-
animation OF the records to-day shows
that in his message to the senate Gov
ernor Leweling nominated Mrs. Lease
as successor of Captain Rhodes. Thus
her term will not expire until next year.

Aid to Newfoundland.


ST. JoHN's, n. F., March 15.-At a
meeting of the West End relief commit
tee last night John Boyd, governor for
the poor asylum and an ex-member OF

off the flagpole in Newfoundland, while
England gives thousands of pounds to
the Armenians and protects African
trading companies, leaving our people
to 90 begging to America for relief to
keep body and soul together. Seven
hundred families in the east end of st.
Johns were provided to-day with three
days' provisions from the Boston relic:
contributions. When the Halifax
steamer, Grand Lake, left this port this
morning she had among her passengers
Nr. Fave, who came here in charge OF
the American relief contributions. At
the hour of the steamers departure
1000 people were on the wharf to see
Mr.. Fave off. When the steamer was
swung out from her pier the American
flag was hosted at her foremasthead.
The banner was greeted with many
hearty cheers. Cheers for Mr.. Faye and
Boston were given. The highest praise
ia given Mr.. Faye for the manner In
which he has managed with the contrl-
buttons he had in charge, and the way
in which he acquainted himself with
the wants and distress OF the people.

Them in Court.

SAN Francisco, March 15.-1n the
strikers case in the United States dis
trict court to-day Harry Knox, the
leader of the Sacramento lodge of the

Forcing Early stun.

The thoroughly decomposed manure
taken out OF last seasons hotbeds is the
best manure for garden peas, especially
if a little superphosphate is used. After
the soil is put over the stable manure
when making hotbeds, apply ten or
twelve pounds of superphosphate to
each bed 6x30 feet and rake it into the
surface soil. For early plants, select for
the hotbed southeastern exposure
backed by high plank fence or beit
of evergreens. A screen made of small
pine trees will answer the purpose.

NEW YORK, March 15.-The large fac

avenue burned to-day with a loss OF
100000. The top floor was used as a
laboratory and workshop by Nicola
Tesla, the electrician, whose loss is $780,
600. The destruction of Tesla's work
shop comes just when it was whispered
in the scientific world that the inventor
was on the eve of the greatest of dis
coveries connected with the problem OF
improving the ell, ctric light. 1t is feared
the disaster may result In the physical
collapse of the great inventor. He has
long been in a state bordering on ex-
haustion through overwork. Mr.. Tesla
is the controlling electrical engineer OF
the Nicaragua Power Company and OF
many other important concerns.

being claim made by the former for
the Tyler lode in the Occur d'Alenes,
Idaho. A portion of the Tyler claim
overlapped the Last Chance, but the

ping portion. The Last Chance, how.

while there was pending in the supreme

overlapping tract had been waived by
the Tyler Company patent shall issue

Engaged by San Francisco FIGURING
Mills for the Next Two Months-Ore-
CONS Only Recourse.
SAN FRANCISCO, March Is. - The
steamer City of Picking sailed yesterday
for China and Japan, and all of her
available space for freight was taken.
The principal item of her big cargo was
-four, and there has been scramble for
room for this article. Ithas been learned
that contracts are being made for flour
shipments on both the Pacific Mail and
Occidental & Oriental steamers as far
ahead as May l.
The reason given for this rush for
freight space on the part of Touring men
is the demand for room made by Port
land millers. Strange as it may seem
to San Franciscans, flour is being manu-
featured in Oregon and shipped to Hong
Kong by way of San Francisco, and put
on the Oriental market to compete with
the products of California. Oregon peo-
pie are shut out from shipping by the
Canadian and North Pacific steamers,
for the reason that those lines are car
rying all the cargo that they can handle.
With Puget Sound shut out from them
Oregon millers had only one recourse
and that was to ship by the Pacific Mail
and Occidental & Oriental lines.
What arrangement has been made
with the Pacific Company to transport
-four to San Francisco is a secret. A
special rate it is understood has been
given to Oregon manufacturers by local
China lines, which enables them to
compete with California mills. The lat
ter naturally have the preference when
it comes to shipping for the reason that
they are the direct supporters of the
Pacific Mail and Occidental 4 Oriental
lines, and also because they pay high
rate. To shut out Portland men to as
great an extent as possible nearly all
the flour space has been engaged on
steamers to sail between this date and
May.
