New York. July THE rate war be
tween the Mallory line and the southern
Pacific on the one hand aud the New
Lone Star line on the other between this
city and Galveston has begun in earnest
and between now and Saturday. when the
first steamer Of the latter company leaves
this point. there Is likely TO be a series of
sweeping rate reductions. Taking effect
last Monday the Mallory company issued
a tariff of class rates to Galveston which
involved cut Of 30 per cent The South
ern Pacific, which is in sympathy with the
old company followed by reducing its rates
to the same level, and these two lines are
waiting to see what the Lone Star concern
will do.
Mondays cut was the second in The reg
ular Galveston tariff, the first having been
lnaugurated three weeks ago and it related
10 commodity rates. The reduction then
was 30 per cent below the regular tariff and
the result was increased business for the
Mallory and Southern Pacific companies
So far the Lone Star line has met the cuts
of its rivals 1t has fixed 60 cent class
rate to Galveston, 20 cents higher than its
competitors, and IL was said today that It
had secured considerable business on that
basis 1t was semi officially stated that
its steamer would leave port loaded and
that fact is thought to have forced the
Mallory line into making the latest cut.

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 1.-The two
national disbursing offices in the terri
tory of Arizona changed hands today
Territorial Secretary Bruce surren-
dered his place to Charles H. Akers and
United States Marshal Meade to VIM.
M. Griffith. The new appointees had
preferred waiting till the beginning of
the fiscal year before assuming office.
A meeting of the executive committee
of the Republican territorial central
committee was held in this city today,
called by interests antagonistic to M. H.
McCord in his aspirations for the gov
ernorship Of Arizona. Ten of the twelve
members were represented, the anti
McCord men being in the majority.
Pierce Evans of Maricopa county was
elected acting chairman of the commit
tee, and all his acts heretofore in that
capacity were ratified. This action put
the stamp of approval on Evans action
in telegraphing the president that the
territorial central committee stood
ready to recommend new candidate
for governor in the event that McCord
be turned down in the senate. mo-
ton to indorse the candidacy of McCord
was voted down, and a resolution finally
passed. after much amendment, re-
questing that Sin the event of the fail
ure of the senate to indorse McCord that
the president is recommended to ap-
point the best equipped and most ac-
ceptable candidate for the position, as

A SECOND DARIUS
Pat Cooks Flying Machine Declined
to Fly

NEW YORK. July 1.-Patrick Cook
went to High Bridge and confidently ex-
pected to fly from there to the Battery.
But as he was preparing to start he
slipped and fell and it was miracle
that he escaped falling to the piles Of
rocks on the new speedway, $50 feet be-
low. He caught at the ropes, hung head
downward for half an hour, 80 feet be-
low the bridge rail, and was with diff
Guilty rescued.
Cook is 35 years old and until recently
stone cutter. Now he is employed as
gateman on the elevated road. He
began upon his flying machine when but
10 years Of age and since then the sub
ject has never been absent from his
thoughts. Recently he came to the con-
clusion that his 16 years of labors had
ended in success. With his own hands
he had built parachute of oiled canvas
and steel ribs and strong cords and he
took week from his work to give it the
necessary finishing touches. Accom-
panied by a man whom he had hired to
help him he started for High Bridge.
The parachute was fastened to the aque-
duct by rope that was to be loosened
by a jerk when Cook was in position.
Policemen near by suddenly heard fran
tic cries for help. They found that Cook
had lost his footing and was hanging
helpless in a tangle of ropes 20 feet be-
low them. He was taken to the police
station and locked up and later ar
raigned and dismissed with a warning.

WELLBoRN WANTED
The Man and His Family Have Dis.
appeared

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-Despite
the fact that a warrant was issued yes
terday for the arrest of o. NJ. Wellborn,
the deposed Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. for this district, the United States
Marshal and deputies SO far have been
unable to locate him. While it is gener-
ally believed that he is in hiding in this
city, hoping that his friends will obtain
some sort of compromise, rumor is cur
the example of his defaulting deputy,
Isaac Norton, and committed suicide,
but this theory is not credited by the
officials with whom he was associated.
Wellborn's wife and family have left
the city. Friends of the accused man
claim that he will soon surrender HIM
self to the authorities. At late hour
tonight the warrant charging him with
felony embezzlement remains unserved.
The plight of Welborn is far worse
than the investigating officers of the
federal government at first supposed.
The inquiry that has brought disgrace
upon the collector has opened verit-
able mine of fraud. 1t is asserted that
while he was buying champagne with
checks he had no right to sign, he was
assuring saloon men that they need not
pay their licenses to the federal author
tiles. 1t is not yet known how many
saloon keepers enjoyed Wellborn's favor
in this regard, but the investigation will
be continued until the facts are discov-
cred

DURRANT'S APPEAL
FILED WITH THE CLERK OF
THE SUPREME COURT
All the Judges Of All the Courts Re-
quired to Straighten Out
the Legal Tangles

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The papers
in the appeal Of w. H. T. Durrant. under
sentence of death in San Francisco for
the murder of Blanche Lamont, were re-
ceived by the Clerk of the Supreme
Court today. AS the Supreme Court will
not meet until October 18th, the appeal
cannot be heard before that date.
AN AWFUL TANGLE
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The Dur
rant case appears to have resolved itself
into state Of confusion that will take
both the supreme court of California
and that of the United States to restore
to an orderly legal condition.
The justices of the supreme court held
a consultation for two hours today with
Governor Budd. The greatest seoresy
as to the proceedings was maintained.
The justices were not communicative
and the governor said that the confer
ence was private and confidential" IL
is understood, however, that the sub
ject of the conference was the execution
Of Durrant, which was postponed from
June II to July 9.
Many points were discussed. The
state supreme court will not meet In
regular session until the second Tuesday
in July, or after the second time set for
the execution, and whether or not any
proceeding can be forced to conclusion
before that body prior to that time is
regarded as a question of grave i'm
port.
Eugene Duprey, one Of Durrant's S law
yers, declined to discuss the case, but
said that counsel for the condemned man
were prepared to meet any proceeding
that might be taken before the supreme
court of the United States had given
the case full and impartial hearing.
He held that the appeal to Washington
acted as bar to any proceeding in the
state courts, pending the decision of the
highest tribunal.
News from Washinton is to the effect
that Durrant's appeal has been received,
but that it will not be acted upon till
the next session Of the supreme court
which convenes October 12, and it would
appear that Durrant is in no danger of
hanging until after that date.
