confer with Mr.. Bryan. While it has
not yet been definitely decided. there will
be no formal notification of Bryan by

A proposition looking to the fusion of
the two parties in Missouri on the state

fusion the populists are said to have de-
manded that they be given eight out of

SOUTHERN PACEFIC'S SUIT
Great Mass of Printed Matter to Be
introduced
A Large Number of Arrivals in Los Angeles
by Santa Fe Excurslon-Notes on
Railroad Matters

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-The California
railway commission won point today in
the injunction suit now pending in the
United States circuit court, by which the
Southern Pacific company seeks to restrain
the commission from reducing the freight
rates of railroads. Judge McKenna ruled
today that the dispositions and evidence
taken befor ethe congressional commission
in 1867, when the various officials of the
Southern Pacific testified to the roads cost
and maintenance, may be admitted in the
present proceeding. The dispositions we're
objected to because the officials of the COM
pany made them in their private capacity
as citizens and not as officers of the COM
pany. The court overruled this objection,
however, holding that the inquiry of the
congressional commission took on sufIi-
Gent official character to enable it to be
received as evidence in the present pro-
ceeding. The court ruled, however, that
while'the dispositions could be admitted,
the report of the congressional commission
and the president's comments thereon in
his message to congress are barred az being
merely conclusions of those by whom they
were prepared, based on the testimony
taken. the decision opens the door for the
introduction of a great mass of printed
matter. The reading of dispositions will
probably occupy many days.

SEEKING BURIED TREASURE
AdOIph Pullman Thinks He Has

WEALTH ALMOST IN SIGHT
Buried on a Ranch Four Miles Back of

One Party Of Searchers Proved Failure,
But Pullman Is Not Discouraged
Movement to Reorganize

There is at present in this city funny
little man who says that his name is
Adolph d. Pullman, and whether this
little man is only cheap fakir in a small
way, or is insane on his particular hobby,
only the future can bring out. Pullman
makes his headquarters at the Santa Rosa
house, at the corner of Fourth and San
Pedro streets, cheap lodging house where
day laborers and mechanics mostly do
congregate, and in a small room on the
first floor the funny little man is carrying
out his scheme.
A HERALD reporter called on Pullman
last evening, and from him got bis story.
The little man talks very freely and is APP
parently sincere. Pullman believes that
he has located a buried treasure of $780,
600, 100000 in coin and bullion and
100000 in quartz running $4,000 to the
ton. Pullman says that this treasure was
hidden by his father forty-three years ago
in cave, but that the cave has since fell
in, burying the treasure. There were three
man in the party who had the treasure,
but two of them were killed by Mexicans,
his father only escaping. The father died
after confiding the secret to his son, and
he has since devoted himself to following
it up.
Pullman says that he came to Los An
geles six or seven months ago, and has
ever since been working on his great
scheme. He says that last summer he
spent over 5000 in prospecting to locate
the treasure, and for limo employed
man with a "divining rod" to find the
buried wealth, paying him $50 day for

Pacific company and other overland rail-
roads intend, on the Oath inst, to advance
the rate on borax, canned goods and wine
from California points to the east from so
cents per 100 to 10 cents. Their action in
this matter is due to the fact that the
Panama railroad has made an agreement
with the Pacific Mail whereby its fight
against the Pacific Mail and Southern Pa
citic is off,
