CORNER IN WOOL.
A Syndicate at Boston Buying all the
Product Offered.

CHICAGO, Feb PA special to the
Times Herald from Boston says:
One of the largest corners on wool
ever attempted in the United States
exists at present in this city in antic-
ipation of the restoration of a tariff on
wool. The existence of the corner has
been a we'll guarded secret for two
weeks, but the operations of the men
and their agents at London and Ham
burg have become so bold as to at
tract attention, and thus the secret got
out
The steamer Columbian, which ar
rived yesterday, brought 5000 bales of
wool, making a total of 261 160 bales
which has arrived in port during the
present month.
A syndicate was recently formed in
this city to buy all the wool offered in
European markets in anticipation of
duty of ten per cent. being put on wool
by Congress at the extra session, and
the increased receipts are thus ac-
counted for.
Buyers have already purchased 15.-
tinue to purchase the same up to the
time of the imposition of the duty, call
culated at II cents a pound. The syn
dicate has raised pile of money, and
only a few days ago cabled $5,000,0OO
to London agents.
1t is calculated that 100000 bales,
or 500,0000D pounds, of Australian
and South American wool will be
brought to this country by the syndi-
cate within the time given.

STREET-CAR WAR.
Fight Over the Building of an Electric
Line at Pasadena.

PASADENA, Feb. pa big gang Of
men are at work for the Pasadena and
Pacific Company laying electric car
tracks on West Colorado street.
A lively war is on between the Pasa-
dena and Pacific Company, operating
the electric line between here and Los
Angeles, and the Terminal Railroad,
which has applied for franchise for
electric lines. The Pasadena and Pa
cific Company was granted franchises
for branch lines two years ago, which
have expired, and among others the
line they are now building, but when
the Terminal applied for a franchise
they set to work at once so as to head
them off, although by it's terms their
franchise was forfeited some time ago.
A big mass meeting tonight resolved
unanimously that the City Council he
requested to declare their franchise for
feited. The Terminal got out an in
junction, which stopped the work, but
this evening it was dissolved and the
work started again. The Council meets
Monday, by which time cars will be

FELL FROM A DREDGER.
A Laborer Drowned at the Estuary at

OAKLAND. Feb. 27.-Andro Farosich,
a laborer employed on the Won Schmidt

Jackson street fell into the estuary
about 8 o'clock this morning, and was
drowned before his companions could
render any assistance.
The other men employed ON the dred-
ger did not see Farosich fall into the
water, but it is believed that he was
struck by the heavy bucket and rem
dered unconscious before the fall. His
body was recovered and taken to the
Morgue, where an inquest will be held
this evening.

the Locating of the Girls Reform
School at That Place.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.-The
largest seizure of opium ever made at
the port of San Francisco was accom-
plished this afternoon by four speclal
agents of the Treasury. The opium is
valued at 100000, and was seized be-
cause of Il violation of the customs rule
which provides that no Chinese snail
import the drug.
The confiscation was the result or an
Investigation which has been conducted
the last six weeks. The Importation III
question is only one of many recent
attractions of the law which have eS-
capped the attention of customs officials.
The opium seized to-day was the
property of Fong Tai & Co. To import
the opium the Chinese firm had it con-
signed to II. z. Davidson, accountant
of the Bank of British Columbia, VINO
transferred it to the real importers as
soon as it passed the customs. Inc
consignment was seized this afternoon,
and was about to be removed from the
warehouse to the Chinese store, when
the Government officials took posses
sion of the valuable drug.
Customs officials state that this syS-
tenn of acting as nominal importers to
aid Chinese firms has been practiced
by the branch of the Bank of British
Columbia in this city through ius ac-
countant and other clerke for the last
ten years. The customs officials say IT
is improbable that either Davidson or
Fong Tai will be prosecuted for the in
fringement of the law.
1t is thought the seizure by the Gov
eminent of so large a quantity VIII
greatly increase the selling price of The
drug in this city. The revenue laws of
the United States impose a duty OF S6
per pound on Chinese opium. Under a
statute of February, 1877, the right to
import opium is restricted to Caucas-
ians A treaty between the United
States and China binds this Govern
ment to forbid the importation of Opium
into American ports by Chinese agents.

RAILWAY OFFICIALS CONFER
Relative to Freight Traffic on the

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27.-James
A. Monroe, Traffic Manager of the
Union Pacific system, and I. NJ. Schu-
macher, General Agent of the freight
department of the Union Pacific in this
city, have been in daily conference with
the traffic officials of the Southern Pa
cific Company for several days past,
adjusting claims and discussing other
matters pertaining to the freight traf
fic of the two lines. The conference
was drawn to a close to-day, and Mr..
Monroe expects to leave for the East
tomorrow.
C. .Smurr, General Traffic Agent
of the Southern Pacific Company, said
that the conference had not resulted in
traffic conditions or freight rates, but
considerable was said respecting pos
sible changes that might ensue from
the change in the management of the
Oregon Short Line and Utah Northern
The Oregon Short Line and Utah
Northern were sold few weeks ago
under an order of court, but the prop
critics are still being operated, tenn
porarily, by the Union Pacific and re-
mains a part of that system. Mr..
Smurr said that according to informa-
ton confided to him by Mr.. Monroe,
the lines in question will be turned
over to the new company about April
1st, and will thereafter be operated in
dependently.
S. w. Eckels has been appointed
Traffic Manager of the new company,
but as yet has made no overtures to
the Southern Pacific Company for a
traffic arrangement. 1t is stated that
one of the first things the new COM
pany will do when it commences the
operation of the Oregon Short Line and
Utah Northern will be to establish Of
fees in San Francisco and at other
points where any considerable volume
of traffic originates, and begin an act
i've fight for freight and passenger bus
mess.
The opening of a new continental
route over the Central Pacific, Utah
Northern. Montana Central and North
ern Pacific to st. Paul for both freight
and passenger traffic is regarded in
local railroad circles as one of the
probabilities of the near future. Dur
ing the operation of the line in ques
tion by the Union Pacific this route
