JOHNSON'S DECISION.
Master in Chancery of the Santa Fe
Decides On
BICSOLYING OPERATING CONTRACTS

Between tho santa Fe and A. & 2. and
st. Louis & san FranciscO-Other
Railroad News Items.
Judge J. B. Johnson, master in chan
Gerry of the Santa Fe has completed his
opinion in the case brought by the re-
ceivers of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railway, for the dissolution of the
nine operating contracts now existing
between the Santa Fe proper. the Atlantic
& Pacific, and the St. Louis 6 San Fran
cisco. which were claimed by the receiv-
ers to be unfair to the Santa Fe.
These contracts relate to the division
of freight rates and passenger fares in
the operation of the three roads as one
system, the question to be decided being
the proportion of rates and fares each
road should receive in the event of ship
ment of freight or carriage of passen-
gers originating in California, passing
over the Atlantic & Pacific and Santa Fe
proper to Chicago; or, originating in
Chicago or St. Louis, passing over the
Santa Fe proper or ST. Louis & San
Francisco, and Atlantic 81 Pacific to Cali
fornia
OF course these contracts provided for
the division of rates and fares origina-
ting along the lines of each Of these
roads when it was conveyed over any
other of the lines.
The opinion is of great length. and
abounds in railroad and legal technical
ties, Judge johnson recommending that
all contracts with the exception of two
CONTRACTS &. aud j. be dissolved.
This case was heard by Judge John
son, master in chancery of the Santa Fe
and Geo. D. Reynolds, master in chan
Gerry of the ST. Louis and San Francisco,
in St Louis on November T. and at the
time it was postponed for further hear
ing, for the purpose of allowing the
opinions to be prepared.
Judge Johnson's opinion agrees in all
particulars with that of Mr.. Reynolds,
and both will be filed with the clerk of
the United States district court in this
city this week.
This case will in no way affect the
operation of the Santa Fs system, as the
court will require that new contracts be
made at once.

WHEREAS, There Is a general de

CHOLERA IN JAPAN
CUTS LOSE FROM TAMMANY
An Epidemic Among the
Yellow People.
Bourke Cochrane Through with CrOcker

Marry.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 15.-Although
passengers arriving by the Oriental lin
ers that have reached here this week
agree in the statement that cholera is
working frightful havoc in Japan, the
newspapers of that country contain no
reference to the devastations of the
plague. This is probably due to the fact
that the disease finds its victims chief
ly among soldiers recently returned from
the front, and the government takes ad-
vantage of the law relating to the press
censorship to it's fullest extent.
According to the officers of the Vic
toria and the more recently arrived EN-
press of Japan, the military has suffered
a loss of thousands during the past few
months and the principal stations in
Japan are at present converted into
great hospitals. The Formosa expedi-
tion has proved especially disastrous.
