SOUTHERN PACIFIC ROAD.
Gap Between San LniE Cbispo and
Santa Barbara to be Closed.

SAN FRANCISCO. March lit is
stated that the Southern Pacific Rail
read Company will soon close the gap
in the coast division in San Luis Obispo
and Santa Barbara Counties. The di-
vision now extends from this city to
Surf. From Santa Barbara north to
ElWood there is a branch line fourteen
miles long. The gap between Elwood
and Surf is fifty-five miles long. While
no tunnels Will be constructed. there IS
some heavy grading required along the
fifty five. miles mentioned. If work is
commenced with LOCO men IN Aprih 1t
is said the gap can be filled in after
ten months continuous work.
AT ElWood the coast division viii con-
meet with the Saugus branch for Les
Angeles. via Santa Barbara and Sau-
gus. If the gap is filled this year, there
may be radical change in the running
of passenger trains between this city,
Los Angeles and New Orleans. They

irving and departing. as at present,
from the Oakland mole.

SHOULD WAR OCCUR.

Little Prospect OF the Madrid Gov

the World" from London says:
The suggestion in certain New York
dispatches that in the event of war be-
tween the United States and Spain the
latter may receive active cooperation
from some unnamed European Power
is treated with entire incredulity in the
political circles of London.
A World" representative discussed
the question in the House of Commons

tiles en- foreign affairs. All con-
Cured in expressing the opinion that
SHOULD war break out between the
United States and Spain in relation to
Cuba. both Powers would have fair
field and no favor, as far as European
countries are concerned.
Sir Charles Dixie, the highest unoffi-
cial authority ON such questions in
English politics, has already. at an
carly stage of the difficulty between
Spain ana the United States, stated his
belief that no European Power would
intervene. He reiterated that view,
saving: Nothing has occurred 70 alter

Thomas Gibson Bowles, NJ. P, who

Far East imbroglio. said: Il should
think it most unlikely that any Euro

Spain or otherwise. l don't see What

These statements indicate the gen.
eraI trend of opinion here. which, while
regarding the possibility CT war as re-
mote. treats such an eventuality as
purely an affair for the two countries
concerned.
1t is right to add, however, that This
skepeicism about the possibility OF way
is not shared in diplomatic circles.
Leading members of the st. James

Breeding Snakes for Living.

The bounty given by the Indian Gov
eminent for snakes heads in order TO
eXterminate these reptiles, has led to a
few Of the dishonest natives breeding
them for living.
An Englshman recently travelling
through Central India MADE peculiar
discovery.
In the heart OF a dense jungle he
came across a rude hut, and close at
hand was large pit covered over with
a tight-fitting wooden cover. He found
the occupants of the hut, two disreput-
able looking natives, and asked them the
meaning Of the peculiar pit.
They informed him that they were
breeding of snakes. They caught all
sorts of snakes and put them in the pit,
the bottom of which was covered over
with dried grass and leaves.
They ke1t the snakes here some SIX
months, feeding them on ali kinds OF
small animals and birds.
They then filed a large earthen pot
with poisonous herbs, lighted 1t, low
cred it into the pit. and secured the
tight-fitting wooden cover, and thus
smothered the reptiles.
The cover was allowed to remain on
for few days, it was then removed, and
the snakes taken out by means of 4 long
pole with a spike at the end of it.
Their heads We're then cut off and one
of the rogues set out for the nearest
Government agency to obtain the boun-
ty, while the other one caught fresh
snakes for the pit.
The snakes very often devoured one
another but the mothers generally man
aged to bring up their young, though 1t
was a marvel they bred at all in such a
place, being. one would thing. contrary
to their nature.-Pearson's Weekly

TORONTO (Ont), March General
elections for the Ontario Legislature
took place throughout the province to-
day, and resulted in virtual if not act
ual defeat for the Liberal Government
which has held power for more than
twenty-five wears.
The contest has been very exciting
the Conservative leader, J. p. Whitney,
being a young man and new leader,
w lille A. s. Hardy. the Premier, was the
successor of Sir Oliver Mowat. now Lieu
tehant-GoVernor of Ontario.
The complexion of the last House was:
Liberals o5, Conservatives n, Patrons
OF Industry II, Independents 33. The
Patrons have been practically brancn
of the Liberal party, so that the Gov
eminent has had a majority Of thirty CT
more votes.
The returns tonight indicate q great
reNulsion of feeling. In the ninety four
constituencies elections took place to-
day in ninety-three, the other beng
postponed In all but two or three COM
plete returns are in with the following
result: The Conservatives elected 16,
Liberals II, in doubt 4. The possbni-
ties favor a Slight Conservative major
ity.
Two Cabinet Ministers have been de-
feated, John Dryden, Minister of Aeri-
culture, and j. NJ. Gibson, Commissioner
OF Crown Lands.
The result is a surprise to the sup
porters of the Government. The timber
policy of the Administration, which is
alleged TO have favored Michigan lum-
bermen at the expense of Canadians,
had much to do with Premier Hardys
defeat, Toronto returned four ConserVa
tives. The final result of the fight prob
ably Will be decided at the bye elections,
as the House does not meet again until
next winter and there are sure to be
many contests in the courts.
