SOUTHERN PROTECTiONiSTS.
Former Free Traders Are Getting
IntO Line.

The states representatives in the
United States congress are all protcc-
tonists for the industries Of their
own states. But the republican mem
bers are the only ones who arc for pro-
lection IS a national principle, and for
protective tariff as necessary means
for sufficient revenue. The Georgia
democrats favor duty on lumber;
South Carolina is looking out for cot
ton; Louisiana sweetens toward pro-
lection when it touches sugar; Califor-
mia is yiglant for fruits, and the popu-
lists Of Nevada think no figures too
high for a tariff Oh borax. The dem
ocrats in congress are doing their best
10 support Gen. Ilancock's contention
that the tariff is a local issue.
q 1t is not surprising that with such a
scifisbly ragged edge on tariff qpes-
tons the opposition to tariff bill
that was formed by the party of pro-
lection is broken down at every point,
The proponents Of the bill have not
been defeated yet at a single issue.
Amendment after amendment has been
voted down by safe majority. and the
passage of the bill is assured, and
quickly, too, if the floodgates of oratory
can be kept closed.
The lumber schedule was sustained in
spite of the objection of senator's whose
only knowledge Of timber is obtained
from Chicago platforms. The bill is
travelling mt winning gait, and n
chorus of factory whistles will greet it
at the finish line.-Troy Times.

BOYS PLAY AT CUBAN WAR.
Desperate and Bloody Battles Fought
in Cleveland.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 5.-"Cuba,' set
Element in the southwest part of the
city has been the scene of q, number of
pitched battles during the last month
between two gangs of boys, who call
themselves SpaniardS and Cubans. Inc
''Spaniards" are about 300 strong and
the insurgents about 200.
The rivalry between the two forces
has become 50 strong that they are
waging bloody warfare. The battle
ground is a marsh beyond the stock
yards, in the vicinity of the Big Four
and Belt line tracks, and the numerous
engagements that have taken place led
the police today to take a hand The
boys are from u to 20 years of age
They have formed a deadly hatred for
each other Many of the boys have
armed themselves with revolvers, guns
and other weapons, while the balance
use stones and clubs.
Saturday afternoon the two armies
met, and for half an hour they fought
a fierce battle in which some of the
boys were badly injured. a train of
box cars were used by the insurgents
as bulWarks. A number of the boys
stationed themselves on top of the cars.
They had reVolvers and several shots
were fired The others threw rocks
from behind the cars.
The Spaniards were behind another
mish lines would venture forth but
would be driven back with showers of
stones. The two armies were in COLI
sion when the police arrived. AS soon
as the boys saw the authorities they
took to the SWampS. One boy was shot
through the hand, another in the knee
and a third in the head.

ANOTHER SANTA FE OFFICE.
Position of Assistant Superin tendent
of Machinery to be Created.

It is probable that in the near future
another new Santa Fe Office will be Gre
ated in this city. This will be the posi-
ton of assistant superintendent of ma
chinery, an office which was formerly
part of the mechanical department of
the road, but was abolished some years
ago. The duties of the position will be
much the same as those now performed
by Mr.. Player. superintendent of ma
chinery.
When it was first decided to give Mr..
Player an assistant some days ago, the
position was offered to Mr.. George A.
Hancock, at present superintendent of
machinery of the Gulf, Colorado &
Santa Fe road, with headquarters at
Galveston, Tex, but it is understood
that Mr.. Hancock has declined. At all
events, the matter as far as the appoint
ment of Mr.. Hancock is now at a stand
still, and the officials of the mechanical
department state that it is not known
what arrangements will be made.
Mr.. Hancock held the position of as
sistant superintendent of machinery of
the Santa Fe at the time that Mr.. Geo.
Hackney held the chief position. He
resigned with the Santa Fe to accept
his present position on the Gulf road.
Just when the new office will be created
and who will be appointed to the posi-
ton, is not as yet known. 1t appears,
however, to be a settled fact that Mr.
Player will soon have an assistant to
aid him in the duties of his depart

STARTS AN ELK FARM.
Spectators Will Capture and Break
Young Elk to Harness

Portland, Jan. Ed E. Chamber
lain, mining man operating in Una
tilia county, is going into the novel
business of raising Elk to take the
place of horses. Speaking of his plans
he said:
THE mountains in our country are
the natural home of the elk. The grass
there, upon which they subsist. is high
ly nutritious, and hundreds of these an
imals, together with bear and deer
make their homes in the Businesses of
the noun tainS. Elk is the principal
game and the great number in which
they are found has led me to engage
in what 1 think will prove profitable
business. This is simply the capture
and domestication of these noble ami
mails. In connection with others, we
have fitted up an Enclosure far up in
winter to capture what Elk we can and
tame them for domestic purposes. Their
capture is an easy matter when the
heavy snow falls. and our object will
be to make captives of the yearlings
and then break them in, as one would
a horse, for driving purposes
"A pair of COW elks will travel 100
miles without showing the least sign of
fatigue, if allowed their own gait, but
it would be unfortunate to put them on
a run. Properly broken, any woman
could drive them. 1t is our purpose
to take the yearlings and properly train
them to work under harness, and then
breed them for the market. We have
such inducements offered US from the
east that it is certain that the invest
ment can be made q paying one, as we
are offered good prices for such teams
we may deliver. A well broken team
of COW elkS will be worth at least $500,
and the novelty will prove so great in
the east that the business is bound to
prove productive"

BIG DRIFTS OF SAND.
They Were the Most Troublesome
Features of the Storm.

Railroad traffic over the state was
again interfered with yesterday by the
heavy northeast wind drifting the snow
and sand into cuts and hOlloWs and eff
fectually barring the way of both pas
senger and freight trains The velocity
of the wind was greatest in the, western
and central portion of the state, and
large quantities of sand were hurled
with the snow into the cuts along the
lines of railroads.
On the Santa Fe line from Kinsley to
Dodge City great drifts of sand and
snow were piled to the height of several
feet, and it was hours before the track
was cleared sufficiently to allow trains
to pass.
On both the Santa F'e and Rock ISL
and roads superintendentS of all divis-
ions were out yesterday with snow
plows keeping the tracks clear as much
as possible. By a, late hour last night
the lines were we'll cleared, and it is
thought that no great difficulty will be
experienced today.

BLACK TROUPE SNUBBED.
Columbus Hotels Close Their Doors
on a Colored Theatrical Company.

Columbus, Jan. 5.-The manager of
the Black Patti troupe threatens to
bring suit against the leading hotel
keepers of this city. The troupe arriv
ed in the city early Thursday morning
and repaired to the hotels of the city
for lodging. They were refused, though
several members of the troupe, who
were very light colored, obtained ac-
commodations before their connection
with the Black Patti company was
learned.
At 2 o'clock in the morning the troupe
was not accommodated, and as a result
most of the members had to go to
boarding houses on Third street, which
is not a choice part of the city by any
means. The manager says that he will
bring suit and test the laws of the
state on the matter. He states that he
has been confronted with the same
trouble ever since he took the company
out, and he is getting tired. He will
have the question of his rights settled
once for all.
