San Francisco, July 2S.-The South.
ern Pacific Company has become in
volved in an interesting squabble with
the Eastern roads doing business in
Utah Territory. a few weeks ago the
Eastern lines reduced their freight
rates on u long line Of commodities
from Eastern points to Utah. To pro-
tect it's own interests, and incidentally
the interests of local producers ana
manufacturers who have to compete
with the Eastern shippers ia the Utah
territory, the Southern Pacific put In a
reduced tariff on such commodities as
are manufactured or produced in Cali
tornia and find a market in that terri
tory. This latter tariff went into effect
ON June 27th.
The lines in Utah. viz, the Rio
Grande Western, Union Pacific and
Utah Central Railway, objected to the
Southern Pacific Company's rates. and
notified General Freight Agent c. f.
Smurr that they would not join in
them. This left the Southern Pacific
without line east of ogden which was
willing to Join in the reduced tariff, and
left Smurr no other alternative but to
withdraw the Objectionable tariff An
order has accordingly been issued can
ceiling the Objectionable tariff, but ac-
companylng 1t is Il new tariiL to take
the place on the one Cancelled. II fixes
reduced rates OH all the commodities
over which the present contest was
started, but the rates only apply TO
Ogden, the end OF the companys line
in Utah. Beyond that point the old
tariff OF August 10 1894, and the sue
ceeding amendments up to the one
which has been ordered Cancelled Will
apply.
The new reduced tariff will take eff
feet August LIST, and the cancellation of
the Objectionable tariff issued last
month takes effect at the close of bust
ness on July 31st. The reductions in
the new tariff are calculated to meet
the rates issued by the Eastern lines
into Ogden. The freight department
officials in the general office of the
Southern Pacific do not propose to al
low the Eastern lines to monopolize the
big business afforded by supplying the
Utah market with the commodities af-
fected

Mr. Harvey said: "The proposition Is

"CRlME or A CENTURY,"
THE EMMANUEL CHURCH PLAY
STOPPED BY OFFICERS.
Manager and Performers Arrested
for Disobeying the Court - No
More Jurors for the Durrant Trial.

San Francisco, July 29.-The princi.
pal feature in the Durrant case to-day
was the defendant application for u
judicial order to prevent The production
OF play called THE Crime OF u Cen
fury, based on the Emmanuel Church
murders. The prisoner alleges that the
performance, advertised for tonight,
would inhame popular feeling against
him. The prosecution joined with the
defense in request for u restraining
order, which was granted.
The work of securing u jury proceeds
slowly. OF thirty examined to-day none
was accepted. Few are CHALLENGED for
believing in the prisoners guilt. The
majority are excused for their unwill-
ingness to accept as convincing circum-
stantial evidence.
Charles II. Clark, who. 1t is believed.
will be q most important witness in
favor OF Durrant, is one of the best
known commercial travellers on the
Coast. lie formerly represented some
local firms, but for several years past
has been in the employ of Eastern bust
ness houses. At one time he made his
headquarters in Portland. He has not
been employed for about a year.
Clark bought a ticket for Boston on
July 9Th and left this city the next day
The last heard of him was at Ogden
He wrote a postal to his wife from that
city. Durrant's attorney may have
heard from him since then.
Clark is popular among his acquaint-
ances, and all of his friends say they
do not believe he would swear to any
thing that was not absolutely true
They say, however, that he, like many
men in his line of business, is given to
romancing, and can manufacture en-
tertaining stories with great facility.
The production of the play entitled
"The Crime of a Century" which was
placed on the stage at the Alcazar
rheater tonight was stopped IN the
middle of the third act. Just at the
point when Du Bois the character who
is supposed to impersonate Durrant,
was about to drag a young woman to
the belfry of a church, Sheriff Whelan
and five deputies marched on the
stage and arrested the performers,
eleven in ALL The manager of the
theater was also placed under arrest.
The manager stepped before the cur
tain and made a speech, in which he
claimed he had a right to produce the
play, but he was taken into custody
nevertheless for disobeying the order
of Judge Murphy, restraining him from
putting the piece on the stage. All
gave bail in the sum of $1,000 each and
were released. A great crowd attended
the performance, which was Kissed at
intervals

ELIJAH SMITHS PROJECT.
Scheme to Secure Control of the o.
r. & N.


r. & N.
Portland, Or, July 2S-The Oregon
ian says: When Elijah Smith, president
Oh the oregon Improvement Company,
left this city two weeks ago for New
York, 1t was announced that he was TO
visit that city mainly for the purpose
of reorganizing the board of directors
chosen at the recent election, which
turned down the Starbuck administra-
ton. 1t is now understood that Mr.
Smith is interesting himself in the af-
tairs OF the oregon Railway Il Naviga-
ton Company, too, and that his present
visit to New York City may result In
another surprise, equal in interest, il
not results, to that occasioned by his
victory in the Oregon improvement
Company election.
1t said that Mr.. Smith started for
New York sooner than he had expected
at the request of certain stockholders
in the Oregon Railway 81 Navigation
Company, and that efforts have been
made for several months-eVen before
he secured control of the Oregon I'M
provement Company-to gain his con-
sent to head a contest for control of the
oregon Railway q Navigation Com
pany.
II is IlOl Impossible lnat q majority
of the stock in the Oregon Railway q
Navigation Company might go to sup
port Mr.. Smith in a fight for control.
1t was given out two months ago that
an effort was being made to reorganize
the oregon Railway & Navigation and
put it's affairs in such shape that it
could be taken out of the hands OF the
court and receivership. 1t was further
said that Major Mcneil, the receiver
and general manager, would probably
be made president of the new company.
Major Mcneil was in New York City u
few weeks ago, accompanied by his at
torney, w. w. Cotton of this city. The
visit was made in the interest of reor-
gani2ation.
1t has been learned that the Union
Pacific Company has become quite n
factor in the reorganization and it is
believed that the Mcneil people fear
that the reorganization might result
i'm the Oregon Railway & Navigation
Company again falling into it's hands.

CUT RATES TO THE ORIENT.
o. r. & N. Company Now Competing
for Passenger Business.

San Francisco, July 2S.-F. T.. Con-
nor, general agent of the Oregon Rail-
way & Navigation Company in this
city, is in receipt of circular letter
from w, II. Hurlburt, general passen-
ger agent of the company at Portland,
in which Mr.. Hurlburt announces that
the company's new line of steamers to
the Orient will hereafter compete for
passenger business as well as freight
traffic. The passenger rates quoted are
considerably less than those now
charged by the Pacific Mail, Occidental
& Oriental and Canadian Pacific lines,
and the effect of this new competition
will be awaited with interest. The Ore
gon Railway & Navigation Company
has entered into direct competition
with the lines running out of this port,
and has cut the cabin rates to Yokoha-
ma to $50 and to Hongkong to $50.

ANOTHER STARTLING THEORY.
Did Holmes Murder Minnie Will
llams,s Brother at Denver?

Chicago. July 27.-William Capps, the
Fort Worth, Tex, attorney, who is here
in behalf OF the heirs or the Williams
sisters, advanced Il rather startling
theory to-day, which, IL found to be
true, VIII aud another victim to the
large list OF murders already credited
to Holmes. According 10 Ear. Caps.
Minnie X. Williams had q brother
named Horace a. Williams in Denver
ms young man either died or was
killed suaueniy IN May or June, 1885
shortly before the supposed murder OF
the Williams sisters, The manner OF
hIs death Is not known to the attorney,
but ne says that he has ascertained
that the young man was insured for
$1,000 III favor of his sister Minnie. This
Iact Mr.. Capps considers to be decided
~ peculiar as he says that it is not
reasonable to suppose that Horace Will
lIaIns would insure mis- lite in favor of
u sister who was already wealthy. lie
sad that his Investigations upon this
point We're III an incomplete state, but
from what he had learned lie was of
the opinion that Holmes had first IN

instrumental in causing his death.

TESTIMONY FOR pURRANT.
Important Witness Whose DEPOSIT
ton Will Be Taken ct Boston.

lIllSSS w AO5G OGDOSl-
ton Will Be Taken at Boston.
San Francisco, July 27-The prose-
cutting detectives in the Durrant case
are tracing the career of Charles T..
Clark, the Boston wine drummer, who,
the defendant states, was induced to
leave here in order that he would not
appear as a witness for Durrant
1t is said that Clark knows Durrant
and was acquainted with Blanche La
mont. On the afternoon of the murder
of Miss Lamont, Clark is supposed to
have seen the girl in a car with a
young man who closely resembled Dur
rant, but was not he. If such testi-
mony could be produced at the trial it
would go far to offset the statements
of the several witnesses at the pre-
liminary examination, who swore that
they saw Durrant and the murdered
girl together on the afternoon she dis
appeared. Clark's deposition will be
taken in Boston in Durrant's interest.
The police detectives deny that they in
duced Clark to leave town. and say
that they never heard of him before.

Anti-Gamblers Defeated.

London, July 27.-The election at

majority is a great victory for the

Sir George was prominent leader of
the Anti-Gambling League, and conse-

NATIONAL SILVER PARTY.
Free Coinage Leaders Agree to Call
Convention.

Convention.
New York, July ga dispatch to a
local paper from Columbia, $. c., says:
Congressman Latimer of South Caro-
lima is authority for the statement that
the silver leaders have agreed to call
u convention, to meet at st. Louis In
September, for the purpose of forming
a National Silver party. Among the
names mentioned Of those who have
agreed to the scheme are Bland of Mis-
souri, Tillman Of South Carolina and
Marion Butler of North Carolina. A
large number of others have signihed
their assent, and according to Con-
gresham Latimer, an agreement has
been somewhat delayed by the kicking
Of Mr. Bland, who refused to come in
at first.
The purpose is to form a separate
party from and Independent of the old
parties and one that will draw as
much strength as possible from the
Populist party. The bail was set in
motion at the Memphis convention, and
has been quietly pushed ever since.

as the 'Air Line" has shortened the run
ming time Of its passenger trains between
st. Louis and Louisville one hour and twenty
minutes; but the many improvements re-
Gently made in the roadbed, bridges, tun-

faster schedule, which will be made effect
i've as soon necessities may require. The
facilities this line now gives the travelling
public make tt the favorite line between st.
