SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
It Is Liable to Be Put in Very Bad
Position.

Chicago, Jan. PA proposed agree
ment between the advisory committee
OF the Western immigration Clearing
house and the Atlantic steamship COM
panies, providing for a division OF
traffic and the payment of commission,
was considered today at a meeting OF
the advisory committee without any
definite action being taken. Mr.. Pratt,
the European agent of the western rail-
roads IN this class of business, sub
mitted a report of his experience and
views to the meeting. The railroad
companies are anxious TO withdraw
their European agencies for economy.
The prospects are fair for the adop-
ton of the agreement. Otherwise, in
the face of the Southern Pacific's COM
petition. the clearing house may have
to dissolve. The compact proposed is
an offensive and defensive one, provid-
ing that TIE steamship companies shall
turn over to the clearing house all the
business when it reaches the seaboard,
the Atlantic lines to have sole control
Of the immigrant BUSINESS until it
reached this side. If the agreement is
adopted, the Southern Pacific will have
to join the clearing house or fight for
every passenger.

PACIFIC CABLE.
House Commerce Commission Hears
Arguments.


Arguments.
Washington, Jan. 22.-Interesting ar
guments were made today by Mr..
James A. Scrymser, the president, and
by Edmund l.. Baylies, the vice-presi-
dent of the Pacific Gable company of
New York, before the house commerce
commission. Mr.. Scrymser showed
how extensively the cable systems
were dominated by British influences,
particularly by the Eastern Gable COM
pany, controlled by Sir John Fender
of London. Mr.. Baylies was followed
Mr.. Scrymser, asserted that the Spaul-
ding Gable company of New Jersey,
which holds a concession from the
Hawaiian government for a cable be-
tween San Francisco and Honolulu, is
subject to British influences. Mr.. Bay
lies opposed throwing the contract
for a Hawaiian cable open to competi-
ton for the reason that if it were
awarded to the New Jersey company it
would result in the creation of a mon
opoly, inasmuch as that company has
the exclusive right to land a cable in
Hawaii, conditioned upon their receiv-
ing a subsidy from this government.
Mr.. Scrymser showed that if the
contract was given to his company he
would raise SO, coo within a week
and lay the cable to Honolulu in IS
months and to China and Japan in one
year additional.

Gage Liable to Honor Mckinley by
Becoming a Member of His
Cabinet.

Chicago. Jan. 22-Lyman J. Gage.
president of the First National bank,
today spoke in a different strain re-
garding Major McKinley's considera-
ton of him for secretary of the treas
ury. He said:
L have been called on by some one
from President-elect Mckinley and the
offer was made to me informally. In
no sense can the offer be regarded as
formal. When 1 was visited it was
to find out how I would consider the
offer should it be made and the infer
ence was given me that Mr.. Mckinley
wished to know what my position
would be. I am now debating in my
mind the question should 1 accept the
portfolio if it is formally rendered.
Have l a public duty to consider and
are my personal obligations of greater
Importance than public duty? l have
been in the banking business for 80
years, and have become rooted to it,

sents itself to me, it is much like

Columbus, O., Jan. 22.-The intense
to Senator Sherman brought nearly
the whole membership of the 72nd gen
eral assembly to the reunion today and
banquet tonight, where Governor Bush
nell presided and Chairman NJ. A.
Hanna, among others. responded to a
toast.
II have merely come down for an
outing" said Chairman Marcus A.
Hanna this afternoon. Il have not
been in the best of health for some
time and took advantage of the kind
offer of friends and came down here.
There is nothing political in my visit. !"
Governor Bushnell called upon Chair
man Hanna at his quarters in the Chit
tenden this evening and the two
chatted for short time.
The report comes directly from State
Chairman Kurtz, who is very close to
Governor Bushnell and Senator For
aker, that Governor Bushnell will not
appoint Mr.. Hanna to the senate. From
this source also comes the statement
that the governor will not call a spec
ial session of the legislature.
From other sources it is reported that
Bushnell will propose TO Hanna that

appealed to in the late campaign to

sponded nObly and there are plenty of
rich men in the senate and no repre-
sentative of the labOring classes, one
of the latter should be appointed to the
vacancy. To meet this the Hanna Ad-
vocates are using a statement made
by John Mcbride, ex-president of the
United Mine Workers, to the effect that
Hanna was the fairest man in his deal
ings with his employees that he ever
knew.
The toast assigned to Mr.. Hanna

WEYLER'S SURPRISE.
Nearly Captured by a Party Of
Cubans.

Cubans.
New York, Jan. pa dispatch to
the Herald from Havana via Key
West says: General Weyler has re-
ceived his baptism of fire in the field.
He may even have been astounded by
the brilliancy of the flash of the in
surgent steel before his very eyes. At
all events, ten of his special escort of
guides, corps of Cuban negroes who
enjoy the distinction of guarding the
person of the captain-general, when
he takes the field, arrived here Tues
day night seriously wounded with
machete thrusts. Several have since
died.
Eight members of the same corps,
all wounded, reached Havana on We'd
nesday morning. From their accounts,
it is clear that early on Tuesday morn
ing the rebels, under Aranguren and
Arrange, made a startling, bold and
dashing attempt to capture the cap
tain-general, which was nearly crowned
With success. General Weyler entered
the village of Quatro Camiros on Mon
day afternoon. Orders were at once
given that all the inhabitants should
leave their homes within two hours.
The village being deserted, the torch
was applied and all the houses, about
300 in number were destroyed. The
captain then proceeded toward Gopaste
10 kilometres further on the road to
Guines. Gopaste was reached after
nightfall and corps of guides was
sent forward to reconnoiter. General
Weyler, with the main Spanish column
under Colonel Sumura, followed some
distance outside the village.
The insurgents, at the orders of their
leaders Aranguren and Arrange. had
concealed themselves in the houses in
the town, their plans were evidently
well laid and it is quite probable that
they might have succeeded in captur-
ing the desired prize-the Spanish COM
himself.
Unfortunately for the fulfillment of
the design of the insurgent leaders,
while the Spanish scouts were en-
gagged in the reconnaissance, the guns
of some of the concealed rebels were
accidentally discharged, giving the
alarm to the royal troops.
Before the Spanish advance guard
recovered from its surprise, the rebels
seeing that their plan had partially
failed, rushed from their places of con-
cealment and attacked the enemy with
great fury, infiicting severe loss in their
reSiStlesS onslaught.

company for damages and ask for $780,
900 instead of $4,000.
Three negatives were taken of the
wrist The hand sets crooked on the
wrist slanting downward toward the
radial side when lying in a natural

the point and a small piece of this bone
hangs on by a very slender attach
