FROM NEW ORLEANS.
Illinois Central May Withdraw Its
Lines.

New Orleans, La, Dec. 23.-There
have been many reports of threats by
draw from this city if it failed to get
certain franchises, but it was not until
today that the people were given a
positive statement on this subject by
General Manager J. T. Harahan.
The road made application to the
levee board for exclusive rights along
the river front for distance of five
miles, and this was refused. They then
withdrew their proposition and submit
ted another to the city council, which
will come up for action before the COM
mittee on streets and landings on
Thursday night.
an editorial headed: why the Rail
roads Will Not Abandon New Orleans, -
and went on to prove by figures that
none Of them now here could afford to
give up the valuable rights and fran
chises which they had secured in the
last 25 years Mr.. Harahan has written
a letter to the Picayune, which, after
dealing with changes in the Illinois Cen
trail business at this point during the
last ten years, goes on to say:
eff the facilities asked for are granted
the companies will continue to use and
improve them as occasion demands. The
facilities at Louisiana avenue are in no
respect ample at the present time, but
they would have been so long ago had
we been assured of having proper &C
cess to the same. On the other hand,
4f the chief council declines to grant the
rights required by US. there is no
question but what we will have to go
elsewhere in order to make sure of our
business. This is not a threat, and we
hope this plain statement of facts will
be understood by all We are spending
a large sum of money in reducing
grades and improving our conditions, so
that we can move a larger tonnage over
the line at minimum cost, and we GER
tainly cannot allow the funnel in the
city of New Orleans to interfere with
the plan in view for increasing and ex-
tending our business"
The publication of this letter today
has caused a good deal of comment, and
there is some fear that the road may
carry out it's threat. 1t recently pur-
chased a tract of land on the river front
ten miles above the city, and it nay
make its terminus there for the bigN ex-
port business which it handles.

DIPPING ENDORSED.
BY Illinois Board of Live Stock Com
missioners.

Springfield, Ill, Dec. 22.-The state
board of live stock commissioners has
filed with the governor its thirteenth
annual report, which contains many
items regarding the contagious diseases
of animals. It says that during the
year there were three outbreaks of
southern fever among cattle in the state

to iIlegel impOrtatiOns of southern cat

utes to the May Century an article enti-

supplemental to an account by F. w.
Hodge of the chronological Bureau of his
ascent of the Enchanted Mesa" Mr..
Lungren says:
The yearly celebration of tine dance
and fiesta of San Estevan at Acoma,
while owning a Christian saints name,
has nothing Christian about it; it is abb
solutely pagan. 1t is a savage celebra-
ton Of an event widely distributed
among all peoples, in all times, being, in
fact, a "harvest home," or thanksgiving
primarily, with growths accruing from
environment and natural causes. In
nearly all of the Rio Grande pueblos the
principal pagan ceremonial was given
the name of that saint in the calendar
whose day fell the nearest to the beginn-
ing of the celebration.
