MRS. PULLMAN GOES WEST.
Passes Through Topeka on the Santa
Fe Accompanied by Mrs. John
A Logan.

Mrs. George M.Pullman, widow of the
late sleeping car magnate, left Kansas
City Saturday in her handsome private
car, on her way to the Pacific coast
over the Santa Fe. Mrs. Pullman was
accompanied by Mrs. John A. Logan of
Washington, Miss Nina Gillette of Elk
hart, Ind, and Miss Maggie Enders of
Chicago. The party will go to San
Francisco where Mrs. Pullman will Wis
it her daughter, Mrs. Frank CarOlan,
and if Mrs. Pullman's health permits, a
tour of Old Mexico and visit to the
City of Mexico will follow.
THE shock of her husbands sudden
death was a great burden for Mrs Pull
man to bear" said Mrs. Logan, land
though it cannot be said she is in deli
cate health, it was thought a trip and
a change of scene and climate would
be of benefit to her. She was kind
enough to invite me to be her guest and
the two young women with US are init
mate friends of hers. We will probably
spend several weeks in San Francisco
and then go to Mexico
The car in which the party is travel
ing is a palace on wheels. It has every
convenience known to the art of car
building, and is as beautiful as it is
modern. The interior is upholstered in
rich pushes and silks, in subdued col
Ors, and the various compartments are
lighted with electricity. The porter in
charge is the negro who used to ac-
company Mr.. Pullman on his trips.

President Ripley Offers Critics
of His Management
A Good Chance to Demonstrate
Their Ability.
MAY LEASE TRAINS.
Pay the Company so Much Per
Mile and Collect Fares.
Postal Cars Hereafter Will Be
Very Plainly Decorated.

Wichita, Jan. 10.-President Ripley OF
the Santa Fe railroad, in the article
published here in the Kansas Common
er, a POpulist paper, says;
1.-The Santa Fe road is at the disposal
of Mr.. Davis, his party, or any respon-
sible company or syndicate to be named
for proof of theories or settlement of
agitation. On behalf of the Santa Fe
road 1 am entirely willing-and 1 make
now, as an official, this statement-to
let Mr. Davis or anybody else who
pIeases carry out their theories and get
all the profit from it. 1t is possible
that Mr.. Davis and his party know
more about railroad management and
fares than men who spend their lives
struggling with the problem.
Simplify the situation and come to a
definite proposition DO not beneVe
that anybody has ever figured the cost
Of passenger service as being less than
81 d train mile. At three cents a mile
it takes "a people on each train to pay
this; at two cents it takes so people; at
one cent it would take hundred peO-
pie; and at half a cent 1t would take
200 people.
anxious to make whatever rate will
most surely produce this 81 per train
mile return.
ITO show that we are in earnest, the
Santa Fe road will lease to Mr.. Davis,
if he can assure US of his responsibility,
or to any other responsible person,
party, syndicate, or company IN the
state OF Kansas, a train TO run from
any point in Kansas on our lines to
any other point every day in the year
at a rental of 81 a mile. The parties
renting the train shall receive all fares.
They will only have to pay US $40 each
way if the train runs ten miles, or 500
each way if the train runs 100 miles.
They can make the passenger rate so
low that everybody will travel, or they
can do with it as they please.
This offer is not made as q bluff, but
is a serious business proposition. If it
is a fact that somebody else can make
more money out of the passenger ser
vice on the Santa Fe road than we can
by charging lower rates we are entire
ly willing that they should make it. I
shall be very glad to have this offer
taken up.
You will understand that I am not
now Offering to put on a special train
for a single day or a single run at that
rate. The train must be scheduled and

not, just as our present trains do. But
the lessee may fix the running, time,
and place"

STOLE A TRAIN OF POTATOES
Rock Island Makes a Serious Charge
Against the Union Pacific.

Denver, Jan. 10-A z. English, the
manager of the Northern Colorado
Produce association, was the maddest
man in Denver Saturday. He will in
woke the assistance of the courts in
righting the wrong which he claims
had been inflicted. A train load of po-
tatOeS was whiSlEed out of sight of the
Greeley man while he was cOgitating
what course he ought to take. The
Union Pacific carried off the freight
and the consignor was left behind in
Denver.
Mr.. English routed the shipment to
Denver over the Union Pacific, and
from this point to Kansas City over the
Rock Island. At last reports the train
OF twenty-three cars was jogging
merrily along through Kansas over the
Union Pacific, with banners flying and
with right of way over everything ex-
cept the fast passenger service
L. F. Kimball assistant general
freight agent of the Rock Island was
not in a 1OcOSe humOr. 1t was a rank
steal" exclaimed Mr.. Kimban, and
the Union Pacific will pay dear for the
whistle before the last is heard of this
transaction. The potatoes were billed
over the Rock Island from Denver, and
when the Union Pacific men started
that train out over their line they
knew they were violating agreements
with the Rock Island. The matter is
no longer in my hands, as it has been
referred to the general offices. but if

and take possession of the train when

the most outrageous steals I ever
knew

ON OUTRIGHT SCANDAL.
Comptroller of Currency Dawes
Raking in Plums For
Relations.

Washington, Jan. 1O.-There was a
lively time in the office of the cOmptrol-
Ter of the currency Saturday.
Senator Baker and Representative
Curtis called to protest against the ap-
pointment of John B. Cunningham OF
Lincoln, Neb., as bank examiner for
the state of Kansas.
On file in the cOmptrOller'S office were
not less than dozen applicants from
prominent Kansas Republicans for
this place.
comptroller of the currency, promised
the Kansas delegation that when the
change occurred a Kansas man should
be appointed.
It was for this reason that Senator
Baker and Representative Curtis be-
came indignant.
Mr.. Dawes. the new comptroller as
sured them that Cunningham was only
appointed temporarily. He said the
appointment was made for personal
reasons and he desired him to remain
in the position for the next six months
at least.
But" said Senator Baker, Eve have
competent men in Kansas who are ap-
plicantS for the position and we feel
our people are entitled to this patron
age"
4 desire, for personal reasons said
Mr.. Dawes, Ito retain Mr.. Cunningham
in the position, but will make the
change within the next six or eight
months, and 1 will then name a Kansas
man for the place"
It has transpired that John b Cum
ningham is the law partner of the
brother of Mr.. Dawes at Lincoln, Neb.
There are millions of dollars involved
in settling the accounts of the banks
in Kansas which failed during the pan
ic of '92 and 49,
Mr.. Cunningham course will be to
see that the receivers of the various
national banks in Kansas employ his
law partner as their attorney, which
means thousands of dollars in legal
fees for him.
This is probably the personal reason
Comptroller Dawes has in making the
appointment
Both Senator Baker and Representa-
tive Curtis entered their solemn pro-
tests, and it is probable the matter will
be carried before the president.

esBRYAN AND WILLIAMS"
Is the Ticket Favored by Silver Men
at Denver.

Denver Colo, Jan. 10.-George Fred
Williams of Boston was one of the
principal speakers at the annual meet
ing of the Jackson club at Wier's hall
in this city.
Gov AIva Adams made the opening
speech, after which Mr. Williams was
introduced.
Mr.. Williams began with a few re-
marks on the power of the banks in
politics. Referring to the present ad-
niniStratiOn, Mr.. Williams said he be-
Heved Secretary Gage was honest and
that he truly represented the president
who appointed him to office. The speak
er warned the Democrats against al
lowing any new issues to be incOrpOrat-
ed into the platform of 1900. A plank
that might win back the gold Demo-
Gratis he said, would drive many silver
Democrats away and all the silver Re
publicanS.
The main questions that interest the
American people, he said, were clearly
and braveIy handled in the platform of
1896, and the party must stand or fall
by the utterances of that conven-
ton.
And as for the candidate in 1900, -
continued Mr.. Williams, the man has
already been named. He is w. J. Bry-
an.
1T is no more necessary that the
friends of government by the people
should have one platform than that
they should have one candidate. re-
gard it as unfortunate that our candi-
date was not elected in 1896, for, with
a Republican congress, the sins of the
Republicans would have been visited
upon the Democrats. If the policy of
the Republicans continues to bear fruit
as it has done so far the Democratic
victory in 1900 will include in its troph-
les not only the presidential chair, but
a large majority of the seats in con-
gress.
During the evening several speakers
referred to Mr.. Williams as popular
candidate for the vice presidency, and
the combination, Bryan and Williams"
was cheered to the echo

SOCKEYES AND SILYERSIDE
Total Catch of Pacific Coast Salmon
Lower This Year Than Usual

San Francisco, Jan 10.-The Herald of
Trade and Finance prints the following
review of the Pacific coast salmon pack
for the season just closed:
The total pack of canned salmon on this
coast is not so large as late estimates
made it, but it comes up to the early
estimates. While the Alaskan pack is
not up to last year, those of British Co
lumbia, Puget sound, Columbia river and
Sacramento river are larger. but those of
the outside streams and bays of Oregon
are not up to 1896. The Puget sound pack
of sockeyes came fully up to expectations,
but the run of silversides, a little later
was a disappointment and cut the esti-
mated pack quite materially The Column
bia river pack it was thought would not
be over 10000 cases. but the exceptional
size of the Chinook salmon made a much
larger pack than had been estimated
even during the fishing season.

PINGREE SEES THE RAISE.
He Will Pay the Increased Price For
His Anti-MonopOIistic Asphalt
Mine.

Washington, Jan. 1O.-According to in
formation received here. Governor Pingree
has decided to pay the advanced price
asked by a Venezuela company for his
asphalt mine, situated near the mouth of
the Orinoco river. In his great work of
overthrOwing monopolies, the governor re-
Gently paid a visit to Venezuela to in
spect the mine with the view of securing
control of it, and thus obtain asphalt for
paving the streets of Michigan cities at
a lower price than had been paid to the
American concern. which the governor be-
Heves is mOnopOlistic.
An option on the property was obtain
ed from the president of the company
controlling the mine. Then it was dis
covered that no option could be given with
out the consent of a majority of the
stockholders of the company, and the
agreement made by the president of the
company with Governor Pingree was de-
clared void. Agents of the governor were
then sent to Venezuela, but they did not
succeed in getting the terms he wanted.
The stockholders increased the option
from $4,000, the origial amount, to $40
CO., and it is this larger sum which it is
said the governor has decided to pay.
