THE SHORT LINE.
Speculation as to Its Relation With
Other Roads.

General Manager Bancroft and
Traffic Manager Eccles of the Short
Line are not observing any eight-hour
law in their work these days. The ar
rangements for the transfer under their
able direction are rapidly being COM
pleted, and everything will be in ship
shape by next Monday night.
Yesterday there was renewed hustle
and activity about the Wasatch build
ing, a force of workmen being engaged
in getting the rooms on the second and
third floors in readiness for the offices.
There has, of course, been much
speculation as to whether or not the
segregation would open the Ogden
gateway to the other lines, and while
the question has not been answered,
the Omaha Bee says there are many
railroad men, however, who believe
that Union Pacific influence with the
management of the Short Line will be
sufficient to keep the gateway closed
to all but the Union Pacific.
On the other hand it is stated right
in the Union Pacific headquarters that
the gateway will be opened TO other
lines and that the Short Line will only
seek the greatest amount of business
for itself. 1t is said that other roads
will lie enabled to make passenger
rates UP into Idaho and Montana ter
rlIO1y Indl mas prdcItCdly Deen CLOSED
to them in the past, and in return,
that the Rio Grande Western will re-
oeive good share of the business from
this territory to deliver to other roads
at Denver.
In the freight traffic department
more important rumor is going the
rounds. 1t is to the effect that one of
the first things the new company will
do when it commences the operation
of the Oregon Short Line will be to es-
tablish offices in San Francisco and at
other points where any considerable
volume of traffic originates, and begin
an active fight for business. The
opening of new transcontinental
route over the Central Pacific and
Utah Northern line, Montana Central
and Northern Pacific to st. Paul for
both freight and passenger traffic is
regarded as one of the probabilities of
the near future.
During the operation of the line in
question by the Union Pacific this
route to st. Paul remained closed to
through traffic. This would divert
traffic from the Union Pacific and from
Omaha. The Short Line would get the
benefit of the haul from Ogden to Butte
at the expense of the Union. Pacific.
Some definite announcement of the
policy of the traffic department is ex-
pected from the Short Line manage
ment during the coming week.

Sentiment That Prevailed at the
Monthly Dinner of the New York
Republican Club.

New York. March 9.-At the monthly
dinner of the Republican club. which
was held tonight, the Cuban rebellion was
made the subject of discussion. Ellis H.
Roberts. who presided, after referring in
eulogistic terms to President Mckinley
and the new administration, said:
1t is true that we do not want to fight
Spain or govern Europe, but it is also
true that we shall insist on the enforce
n,ent of the lawful rights of American
citizens everywhere
Chairman Roberts said that he believed
that the Mckinley administration would
always uphold the rights of American
citizens everywhere. This statement was
received with applause.
John r. Van Wormer said that Spain
had almost reached the point where her
resources were exhausted. In all human
probability" he said. within the next
finances are almost exhausted"
Mr.. Van Wormer also said that the

BY MASKED MEN.
A LOUISVILLE & NASHVILLE
TRAIN HELD UP.

Birmingham, Ala, March 9.-The
Louisville & Nashville north-bound
fast mail No. 4 was held UP by six
masked men three miles this side of
Calera, about 11:15 o'clock. The train
had just left the tank and was on time.
The engineer was ordered to halt his
train by two men on the platform of
the mail coach. Two ugly pistols added
emphasis to the order. He oheyed. He
stopped the train and was ordered
down from the cab and made to cut
loose the air. which he did promptly.
He was then made to go with the men
to open the doors. One man then got
inside and secured a number of val
liable packages, contents not known to-
night. The two men then accompan
led the engineer back to the engine and
after he readjusted the air was ordered
TO pull out. This he did. The passen-
gers were not disturbed. Sheriff
O'Brien and five deputies with horses
and dogs left on a special for the
scene.
2 a. MT is rumored that the rob-
bers secured about $4,000. The facts
are so meager and the railroad Off
Gals are so reticent that it is impossi-
bic to substantiate this report at this
hour.

was a target for Planners left.

Kelly fearfully, but the latter frequently
missed his right hand swings.
At the end of the tenth round PInmer
had become a strong favorite, and he
was backed at to l to win.
At the end of the 18th round the Eng

exceptional hard encounter
Kelly then fought with greater de-
termination and Plimmer. in the 18th
round showed that his previous exertions
had tired him. Kelly had the best of this
round, but notwithstanding this Plim-
mer was a strong favorite in the 18th

Kelly now redoubied his efforts. realiz-
ing tat nothing but a knockout would
win the fight for him. Amid tremedous
excitement he hustled the Englishman
around the ring. gaining the upper hand

his opponents jaw. Plimmer staggered
