MARTIN JULIAN QUITS.
No Longer Manager for Bob Fftx-
eli 7nous

No Longer Manager for BOO Fftx-
sim n,ons.
Ell PASO, TEX, Dec. 26.-Martin Julian
has resigned as manager for Bob Fitzsim-
mons. The split is undoubtedly due to a
comparatively trivial quarrel.
Fitzsimmons and his show gave an exhi-
bition last night in Myers Opera-house.
Half an hour before time to begin Fitz-
simmons discovered that bit of necessary
paraphernalia had been left in Juarez,
Mexico, three and half miles distant.
He asked Julian to send for it. Julian re-
fused and offered to borrow another for
him.
Fitzsimmons refused to go on the stage
without the missing article. and had words
with Julian, who tainted him with being
a common drunkard and left the house.
Fitzsimmons informed the opera-house
manager that there would be no perform
ance.
The manager pacified him by sending In
post-haste for the missing article. Julian
went to his room, and Fitzsimmons and
the party gave the exhibition.
When Julian left the house last evening
his last remark was: "Fitz I've quit you
once before. This time it is for good.
Mother and 1 will take the train for New
York tonight"
"The quicker you go the better" replied
Fitzsimmons.
Arrangements are now in progress for a
new management by local people. Dan
Stuart's representative will arrive to-mor-
row to open headquarters for the manage
ment of the fight.

lzzet Pasha Placed Under Arrest
for His Report on the
Country's Condition.
DID NOT PLEASE THE SULTAN
The Ottoman Government to Make an
Inquiry Into the Harpoot
Outrages.

LONDON, ENG, Dec. 26.-The CORE
spondent in Constantinople Of the United
Press telegraphs under date OF to-day that
1t is reported there that Zeitoun, which
was IN the possession of Armenians, has
fallen before the attacks of the Turkish
troops, and that many of those who were
holding the place against the forces of the
Sultan have fed to the hills.
CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY, Dec. 26.-
The capture of Zeitoun by the Turkish
troops is officially confirmed. No details
OF the fall of the place are given.
1zzet Pasha, who recently addressed a
long report to the Sultan pointing out the
deplorable situation in the country. has
been placed under arrest and is now await
ing trial by court-martial. His troubles
are due to his report, which the Sultan re-
fused to read. When Izzet Pasha found
that his Majesty refused to pay any atten-
ton to his report he resigned his office OF
Chief Equerry, but the Sultan refused to
accept his resignation. Five times was the
resignation sent in, but the Sultan refused
to allow IZZet to retire voluntarily.
An official report has been issued stat
ing that the Government is making an in
quiry into the outrages at Harpoot. 1t
denies that any missionary property was
burned in the presence OF the troops. On
the contrary, it says that the officials used
the-troops to the utmost of their ability TO
protect the missionaries and other fo-ign-
ers. and thereby prevented the burning OF
a large part of the missionary buildings.
a company of troops, the report adds, is
still guarding the missionaries property.
CHICAGO, I'LL, Dec. pa meeting OF
society women from all sections of Chicago
and It's suburbs was held to-day at the
office of DR.. Sarah Hackett Stevenson for
the purpose of devising means to con-
tribute a substantial sum of money to the
Armenian relief fund, which the Red
Cross Society will distribute. The main
plan decided is to give a series OF enter
tainments in various parts of the city and
the suburban towns during the next
month and swell the relief fund by the
proceeds. Other women Will solicit con-
tributions il cash from the Board of Trade
and similar sources. a letter was read
from Frances Willard saying she would aid
with her services and money. 1t was also
announced that Miss Clara Barton, the
Red Cross president, would be in Chicago
soon to help in the work. She will be the
guest OF Mrs. S. E. Gross, who was elected
treasurer of the association. DR.. Steven
son was chosen president.

DESTROYING THE CROPS.
Exaggerated Reports of the Operation.
of Gomez.

Exaggerated Reports of the Operations
of Gomez.
HAVANA, CUBA, Dec. 26.-Despite the
statements contained in the 2500-wcrd
alleged cable dispatch from this
city published in the American pa
pers taking the report of the Chicago
Associated Press to-day that Maxine
Gomez with 1900 Cuban patriots was
marching upon this city, driving every
thing before them, the following are the
facts:
Gomez. with one army of from 1000 to
5000 men, has succeeded by avoiding any
engagement with the Spanish troops in
marching to Coliseo, point ninety miles
from Havana. He had burned number
of fields of sugar on his way, and at Coli
SEQ aud vicinity he burned some more, his
act of vandalism exciting great indlgna-
ton throughout the country devastated.
When he arrived at Coliseo Gomez was
stopped by Spanish troops, who checked
his advance and prevented further burn
ing of canefields. 1t is believed that the
rebels have greatly injured their position,
it being apparent that the only purpose of
their leaders is to destroy the sugar crop.
This is the actual situation, and the Chi
cago Associated Press "cable," padded to
the point of bursting, had no further
foundation.

Supervisors Effort to Reduce It
Caused the Expression of
the Jury.
MULCAHY's BODY DISCOVERED
Floating on the Surface of Stockton
Channel-An Alameda Man
Arrested.

STOCKTON, CAL, Dec. 26.-The Grand
Jury adjourned to-day after firing shot
at the Board of Supervisors for their atti-
tude in regard to bookmaking. The jury
was called for the purpose of finishing
the business of the year and going out of
existence. Shortly after o'clock Judge
Budd was notified that the jury had re-
port to make and Foreman Woodbridge
handed the court the following report:
1--WE have examined into the matter of
bookmaking and believe that it is detri-
mental to the youth of the city and injuri-
Gus to the community, and we recommend
that the Board of Supervisors do not lower
the license tax below SIS day. And we
further believe that the absolute prohibi-
ton of such business would be proper. We
are not advised of any further business re-
quiring our attention, and therefore we
make this our supplemental and final re-
port, and most respectfully request that
we be discharged"
This was unexpected, but it was thought
possible that new indictments in the
hospital bribery cases would be returned,
though so far as can be learned the matter
was not brought up.
The comments on the poolrooDls were
great surprise when the report was
made public, as it was not surmised that
the jury was considering the matter. The
expression of the jury was due, it is said,
to the fact that an amendment to the
county license ordinance is now pending
before the board, which provides for o
reduction of the tax on poolrooms from
SIS day to $3.50 quarter. 1t has the
support of Supervisors Brown, Hemphill,
Henderson and Shepherd.
Supervisor Carson is an objector and
desires prohibitive legislation. He was
much elated when he heard of the Grand
Jury's report and said it was a correct
expression of his statements on the SUBJ
ject. In discharging the jury Judge
| Budd thanked the members in behalf of
the county, stating that the work had been
highly satisfactory and reflected credit on
the zeal and devotion of the jurors to the
peoples interests.

At THE LOWEST PRICE,
Contract for the Construction of
the Two Battle-Ships, Num-
berS 5 and g.
Secretary Herbert's Reasons for Not
Making an Award to the Union
Iron Works.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 26-Secre-
tary Herbert to-day, with the approval OF
the President, awarded the contract for
the construction of battleships No. and
No. 6 (the Kearsarge and he unnamed
mate) to the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Drydock Company of Newport News,
Va, at its bid of 50, 250.00 for building
each ship according to plans prepared by
the Navy Department.
The Secretary closes long communi-
cation to the President, setting forth his
reasons for taking this course instead of
awarding one to San Francisco, at a
greatly increased COST or accepting the
propositions OF the Cramps, as follows:
"To me it seems clear that the depart
ment cannot undertake to say that bid
by a responsible and competent company,
fairly made after due consideration, is
lower than fair price for such work.
This company is bidding, not only
for one of these ships, but for
both, and it insists upon its right to build
both. For the Government to reject the
bid under these circumstances and insist
upon paying higher price for the ships,
or for one of them to be built else
where on any such ground as
the bid of the Newport News Com
pany, which is below the market price,
would be a ruinous policy. The Govern
ment is entitled to have its ships built at
the lowest price at which it can procure
the doing of the work, and true policy
would dictate the announcement instead
of the Encouragement of low bidding"

PULL MAN FLATS ON FIRE,
Inmates Fled in Haste to Escape
the Rapid Spread Of the
Flames.
Four InvalidS Carried Out and One
Will Die From the
Exposure.

CHICAGO. I'LL. Dec "a fire at an
early hour this morning in the Pullman
flats at the corner of Fiftv-ifth street and
Madison avenue, Hyde Park, Quilted the
big four-story building, doing great dam
age. By miracle no one was injured.
Many of the inmates escaped in their
night clothes. The building was well
filled, and the janitor, on discovering the
fire, ran hastily from floor to floor giving
the alarm. By the time the firemen ar
rived the fire had good start in the rear
part Of the lower half of the building, and
the structure was filled with smoke.
Four invalids were carried out by the
firemen and received medical attention in
a drugstore in the next block.
One of the invalids taken from the
building was Mrs. Sarah Atkins victim
of consumption. She is in a precarious
condition from the exposure and she will
not live.
The loss on the building and contents
will not exceed $780, 900.

latest principle. The whole of the saloon
passenger accommodation is on the main
deck, and is without doubt of very supe-
rior order, every possible care having been
paid 10 light and ventilation, while ample
bath accommodation has been supplied,
together with an unlimited supply of fresh
water. The saloon proper is very hand
some apartment. Previous to running to
Canada the Miowera was engaged in the
New Zealand trade. She was commanded
by Captain j. Stott, formerly of the u S. S.
Company's service.
In October, 1893, the Miowera had fate
full trip from Sidney to Vancouver, and
on the I'd of that month the vessel struck
on the rocks at the entrance to the harbor
of Honolulu, and all attempts to get her
off for time proved futile. An American
man-of-war made an attempt to tow her
off, but failed to move her. All the pas
sengers were safely landed. The whole OF
the cargo was also taken ashore in good
condition. The vessel was then removed
and taken to England and repaired and
afterward carried an excursion party to
the Norwegian fjords, subsequently re-
turning to regular duty.
M. NJ Stern, agent of the Canadian Pa
cific in this City, said that he thought the
rumors were unfounded. The Miowera
was very stout vessel and would I'M
dou btedly turn up in Honolulu all right,
en.route for Australia, Notwithstanding its
delay. There are no San Francisco pas
sengers aboard so far reported.

miles were put down. In the eight years
since that time the decrease in construc-
ton has been great and continuous and
this year the total built was only about 100
miles more than in the year 1855, forty
years ago. Fifteen States made no increase
in railroad mileage at all last year, only
one New England -Maine-laying
any track, and that only eighty-six miles.
Texas leads the list with 224 miles.
The Railway Age thinks the bottom has
now been reached and predicts great
activity during the coming year. The
railways of the United States on Deem
Der 81 will aggregate little over 1s1, 900
miles.
The claim is now made by those east
bound lines which have been most active
in cutting freight rates to the East that
they were obliged to do so on account CT
contracts which were on bend when the
presidents agreement was m ade and
which could not be nullifed. These con-
tracts, they claim, Will end at the Begin
ming of a new year and the agreement will
then be rigidlv maintained,

WOMEN IN THE BOARD.
They Haze as Many Rights as tn,

CHICAGO, ILL, Dec. 26-The Appellate
Court this morning reversed the order en-
tered by Judge Gibbons restraining the
open Board of Trade from prohibiting
women coming on the floor of the board
or entering the galleries.
The injunction was issued upon the ap-
plication of Marson French, broker, who
showed in his bill that his business was
suffering, because most of his clients were
women, and owing to the restrictions of
the board they could not advise him in re.
gard to their tradings.
Justice Waterman, in rendering the opin-
ion of the upper court, said:
1--WE see no reason why in this age the
new woman has not the same right to use
the board as a trading or gam bling agency
as has any man, but We are not aware of
any right which any man not member
has to access to any of its quarters.
cit does not appear that privileges al
lowed to other members are denied to COM
plainant, but the fact that be has female
customers who deal on the board does not
give him the right to require that such
women shall be admitted to the floor or
gallery of the exchange"

Lightning Methods Of the Visitors
Could Not Be Withstood by
the Home Team.
A GALLANT STAND WAS MADE.
Five Thousand Persons Saw the Great.
est Football Contest Ever Played
in the South.

MEMPHIS, TENN, Dec. 26. = Five
thousand people, including leaders of
society of this city and adjoining cities
and towns, saw the game OF football here
this afternoon between combination of
Yale and Princeton and the Memphis
athletic clubs. The visitors employed
their customary lightning methods and
walked all over the local athletes for a
while until the latter caught their spirit
and got down to hard work.
Memphis had the kickoff, and In about
five minutes the visitors had touch
down, followed quickly by a goal. This
was continued until the close of the first
half of thirty minutes, when the score
stood % TO 0.
After a ten minutes rest the two teams
lined up again. Memphis taking the kick,
and within the next thirty minutes the
visitors chalked up sixteen more, making
a total of thirty-eight. Memphis failed to
improve her record of the first half.
Early in the second half the collegians
had to caucus and rearrange their
signals, as Boggiano. the star of the
locals, succeeded in blocking some of their
promising plays. The game was by far
the most exciting ever seen in the South,
despite the outclassing of the locals, who.
after all, stood the terrific assaults of the
Yale Princeton men with considerable
force and skill. The lineup was as follows:

WILL REMAIN At WORK.
Motormen Decide Not to Continue tn,
Strike,

Strike.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 26.-The
motormen and conductors of the Girard-
avenue division of the Union Traction
Company, who protested yesterday against
the continued employment of non-union
men, and as an outcome of which several
riotous disturbances occurred, decided at a
meeting held early this morning to remain
at work.
Late last night about 100 Girard-avenue
division employees who were recently on
strike presented series of grievances to
General Manager Beetem. The spokesman
for the dissatisfied men declared it to be
the general belief of the employees that
they have been deceived by the promises
made which had led them to declare the
strike off.
Mr. Beetem, in reply, talked to the men
for fully half an hour. The company, he
declared, proposed to do all that was found
possible to better the condition of their
employees, and would, if feasible, go further
than was agreed to in the plan of settle
ment.
The men brought here had to be taken
care of so long as they remained, but they
were rapidly being sifted out and all the
old men would be, in the near future,
given their old places.
The men, after a discussion, decided to
remain at work and await developments.
This decision was arrived at at O. clock
this morning, when a notice was issued
that no ununiformed men would be put
on the cars leaving the Girard-avenue
depot to-day. The cars on this division
were run regularly to-day and no further
trouble is anticipated.

THE JOKE CAUSED DEATH.
Fatal Burning of Youth at Christ
mas Celebration.

Fatal Burning of Youth at Christ
mas Celebration.
PARKERSBURG, w. Va, Dec. 90
Clyde Farnsworth, a young man, was
burned to death last night as the result OF
a playful joke.
A large party had gathered at Christ
mas celebration and Farnsworth, dressed
in heecy cotton costume, impersonated
Santa Claus.
In the midst of the festivities young
lady threw lighted match at him. His
costume caught fire and he was burned to
crisp.
Farnsworth's father and several others
were severely burned in attempting to ex-
tinguish the flames. A panic ensued
among the guests and number of women
and children were injured.
