A COMPROMISE.
Union PacIfic's Puget sound Rates to
Go in Individual Ratesheeis.

Union Pacific's Puget sound Rates to
Go in individual Ratezheets.
CHICAGO, February 4.-The Western
lines figured all day on the puzzle OF
how to bring the Union Pacific into the
trunk lines committee without pushing
the Northern Pacific out. The former
demanded that it be given share of
the Puget Sound business and the latter
stood on the promises made 10y the other
Western roads that the business should
come to it alone. The Union Pacific de-
mauded that its rate to Puget Sound be
shown in the ratesheets and the COM
mittee lines said 1t should not be done.
The matter was finally solved by allow
ing the Union Pacific rates To be placed
in the individual ratesheets, but they
will not go into the ratesheets OF the
trunk lines committee. The Northern
Pacific took very liberal view of the
matter and expressed itself satisfied
with this agreement. There is now but
one thing which keeps the Union Pa
citic out Of the committee, and that is
the boycott against it. This matter is
in an excellent way to be settled, and
the chances are very strong that the
Union Pacific will sign the committee
agreement within the next few days.
The Chicago Railway Association
passed the day discussing whether it
would show the Puget Sound rates III
its sheets, the ground OF contention be-
ing the same as that taken by the West
ern trunk line passenger committee.

SAN Francisco, February At has

sion Church of this city. The doctrine
taught at st. Paul's consists mainly in
the belief that the millennium is near at
hand. No definite date is agreed upon

DON'T LIKE THE ORDER.
Letter Carriers Prohibited From Max
ing Extra Time.

WASHINGTON, February 2.-The recent
order of the Postoffice Department pro-
hibiting letter carriers from making ex-
ira time has caused embarrassment in
the work of numerous postotfies of the
smaller class throughout the country.
Postmasters have complained to the de-
partment that carriers daily assisted in
the distribution OF the mail and the
Civil Service Commission also had car
riers employed on their boards at post
offices. The Postmaster-G has in
formed some Postmasters that the order
will have to stand. First Assistant
Postmaster General Jones yesterday
said that when the order was issued the
postmasters Immediately entered pro-
test without first trying to adjust the
work of their offices in accordance with
the order. Postmasters have come to
Washington and entered complaints.
In some instances an extra allowance
for clerks would be made, where it was
found to be necessary.

BRUTALITlES OF THE RING.
Champion Corbett Among the Lawmak-
ers of Minnesota.


ST. PAUL, Mimi, February AT the
Hotel Ryan this afternoon large num-
Der of the members of the Legislature
and James J. Corbett, the champion
pugilist. met by appointment to discuss
a modification of laws as to pugilism.
Corbett began to .refute the charge of
brutality in the ring.
GLOW do you account for the recent
fatalities?" asked member who is a
physician.
Easily enough. Stranger things have
happened almost every day in every
community. A man is sitting quietly
in chair, and his life ends In an in
slant. Physicians say it was heart dis
ease or apoplexy. So with the pugilist.
Ninety-nine fights may occur and no
person will be hurt enough to keep him
in bed an hour, but one of the partici-
pants in the hundredth will be fatally
deficient in some vital part, even though
apparently sound as you look at him.
The warmth and excitement, a chance
blow, perhaps, with big glove, any one
of score OF causes weakens the man,
the nerve force leaves him, collapse fol-
lows, and then the end. Understand
me, | am not an advocate OF rize-fght-
ing, nor do ! advise anyone to take up
with the business. ! am in it just as |
might be in any business. AS it is, |
mean to quit alter the contest with Fitz-
simmons"
"Do you consider that padded rings
and large gloves would do away with
much that is repugnant in boxing
matches?"
Most assuredly," said the champion,
as he rose to emphasize the remark.
Legislatures might we'll enact that such
safeguards shall be provided"

Every Hope Of Peace Between Mexico
and Guatemala.
Cry OF MEXICO, February 5.-Ne-
gotiations are progressing between Mex
leo and Guatemala. There is every hope
of a pacific settlement. Guatemala's
envoy, De Leon, is q most conscientious
worker and hopes to bring about a pa
cific settlement. He says he has great
hopes of success, and is ably seconded
by Foreign Minister Mariscal, who like
his government is imbued with a great
spirit of peace. The only war talk
heard here is by foreigners and foreign
newspapers, that contain more sensa-
tional news than was ever heard here.
The government OF Mexico SO as to be
prepared for any emergency, is leaving
no stone unturned. Judges, lawyers
and law students are organized into a
species of National Guard, and are drill
ling daily. In is announced that both
Mariscal and De Leon have finished
studying notes of their respective gov
ernments, and the coming week will
probably see decision.

DETROIT, February 5.-General Lew
Wallace proposes to make somebody
sweat because he was not compelled to
paw duty at the Detroit custom house
on a copy of Ben Hur," which he
bought on train in Canada while on
his way to Detroit yesterday. Among a
pile of books which the train butcher
threw down beside him he found a pa
per-covered volume of his famous work,
which the boy offered him for % cents.
AS the book cannot be purchased in this
country for less than 81 80, owing to the
copyright, the General was rutfled. In
spector Long went through the satchel
OF the General in the stat ion, but passed
the volume without asking for duty.
The General called his attention particu-
larly, and asked if it was the custom to
admit free cheap Canadian editions Of
American copyright books. The In
spector replied that it was in the case of
single books. General Wallace an
nounced his intention OF taking the
matter to Washington. He says that,
although ben Hur" has been trans
lated into almost every tongue, he has
received only Is cents royalty from for
eign publishers.

Administration said to BE Successful In
Its Efforts.
CHICAGO, February 5.-The llerald's
Washington correspondent says So far
rs Washington is concerned the fnan-
Cial furry is over. 1t became known
here to-day that the administration had
been successful in its efforts To negotiate
a loan of gold in Europe. To-day the
statement is made in high quarters that
the loan may be for 5000, 0o0 coo in
stead of for 81 900 600. Foreign houses
are willing to take 5000, 600, 600 on terms
which will make the interest rate no
more than 80 per cent, and perhaps
less. Though the negotiations are being
conducted in New York, the principals
are in Europe, notably the house OF
Rothschild. Ii any part OF the loan Is
to be placed with American banking
houses that must be arranged hereafter.
Up to this time the negotiations have
been almost entirely with representa-
tives of foreign houses. New York
bankers have been TO some extent ig-
nored If they are DESTROYS Of coming
in the gates will not be shut against
them, but it is the Presidents view that
the bulk of the loan must be placed
abroad in order to cause flow OF gold
from Europe to this country, and he also
tavors the 5000, 900, 600 issue, believing
it will solve the money problem for
some time to come.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
1t Bears Upon the Payment OF School
Warrants in Washington.

Warrants in Washington.
SEATTLE, February 4.-Judge Langley
in the Superior Court to-day rendered a
decision of vital Importance to holders
of school district warrants of this State.
The law provides that the board may
levy tax amounting to $25, 900 year
for new buildings and sites without a
special vote of the people, and the board
this year made the extra levy, but pro-
posed applying it to running expenses.
The people of Queen Anne hill want a
new school, and they thought of re-
straining the board from applying this
money to running expenses, claiming
that it should be treated as q separate
fund. Judge Langley decided in their
favor and also declares that the levy OF
the year can only be applied to paying
the expenses of the year, and not to re-
deeming old warrants. This shuts out
warrants for several hundred thousand
dollars ISSUED prior to the current school
year The only way in which these old
warrants can be paid under this ruling
is by an extra levy or by bond issue,
for which new legislation would be nee
essary.

The faith in witchcraft is persistent
and unconquerable. Two men and
woman have been arrested for the mur-
der of another woman at Baltyvadhsn,
a village on the slopes of Slievenaman.
The woman had Influenza, and her
friends mistook the symptoms for signs
of witchcraft, imagining that her real
self had been carried off by the fairies.
Therefore they set about TO exercise the
spirit in possession, by the help of a
herbalist-such a white witch as the
man we mentioned recently as having
tried to cure foot and mouth disease by
incantations at Exeter. They gave her
foul potions to drink, and having bound
her they singed her flesh with redhot
poker, as Strickland singed the leper in

Mayor Fellows announced the appoint
mentof the sanitary officers today, and
they took the oath of office and went to
work. No woman was appointed though
there were two applicants-Dr. Stella
Kirby and DR.. Mary E. Stewart
The mayor has had numerous calls
from women who asked that one of the
two lady applicants be given place, but
not until this morning did they learn
that the appointments had been agreed
upon as published in the JOURNAL nearly
a month ago.
Mrs. T. s. Lyon called upon the mayor
this morning and was told that there
were no vacancies, but that he thought it
would be good plan to have woman
on the force.
Both Dr. Kirby and Dr. Stewart were
very anxious for the appointment, and
they would have proved that woman is
just as capable of looking after the
health regulations of the city as a man.
The men appointed are: ]. w.
Allen, the Second ward political
striker; Nels Mcconnell, also of the
Second ward, and the only one of
the old force reappointed; A. Hardy of

ward. Allen, Smith and Hardy are
colored men. Mcconnell is the only one
of the old force who was for Fellows at
the primary.
R. II. c. Searle, member of the force
from egThird ward, and w. E. Stewart,
member from the First ward, were re-
ieYed. There are two of the
old force who were neither re-
lieved nor reappointed. They are
J. N. Miller and c. L. Vanderpool Mil
Ter has been acting as sanitary sergeant.
and Vanderpool as license collector.
The mayor refused to say whether they
will be retained or not, but it is not prob
able that both will be as there are seven
members on the force, counting them,
and this is more men than are usually
employed.
S. B. Hawkins, the colored member of
the city central committee from the
Fourth ward, was appointed as superin-
tendent Of the city dump to succe ed A.
j. McFry. The salary is only $40 per
