COLONEL BRYAN WOULD BECOME
 A BRIGADIER
Representative Stark to Work the Washington End of the
 NebraSkan'S Boom.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-A Lincoln. Neb., special to the Herald says: Colo nel w. J. Bryans ambition is to be- come a brigadier general. His friends in Washington and at home are now working with that end in view. When Bryan came to Lincoln on his furlough a month ago it was a question whether he would resign his commission or re- turn to his regiment. His personal and political friends were called into con- sultation, and the matter was thor oughly gone over, with the result that Colonel Bryan returned to Savannah. his advisers believing that in that way his political fortunes could be best ad- vanced.
 To-day a dispatch from Representa- tive Stark says the Third Nebraska Regiment will undoubtedly go to Cuba. and will be one of the last regiments of volunteers to be mustered out of the United States service. Representa- tive Stark is practically Governor Hol combs military representative at Washington and speaks by card. To him it is supposed has been intrusted the Washington end of the boom for Bryan'S promotion.

IMPROVEMENTS WILL FOLLOW
SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO MOVE
 ITS YARDS OUT OF TOWN.
Buildings, Including Repair Shops, to Be Erected and Employ ment Given to Two
 Hundred Men.
Special Dispatch to The Call

SAN JOSE, Dec. 9.-With the tomple- tion of the Sant@ Marguerite gap and the opening of the coast road through to Los Angeles, San Jose is bound to enjoy a boom the coming summer. To meet this expected rush of business the Southern Pacific Railroad will remove their yards from North San Pedro street to the PolhemuS tract about mile northwest of town. twelye-stall brick roundhouse, large turntable and repair shops will be built there. This information has been made public by J. L. Frazier, superintendent of the coast division, and w. G. Curtis of the engineering department. The capacity of the warehouses in this city will also be increased.
 For the past two years the railroad company has been buying land in the western suburbs until it now owns about forty acres. The opening of the coast road to through traffic will re- qure greater facilities for handling the business. For years the yards in the city have been cramped and the city streets have been used for switching purposes until the situation became dangerous to passersby and teams The removal of the yards will greatly inn prove the portion of the city in the vicinity of the broad gauge depot. The erection of repair shops so that minor repairs to cars and trucks on this diviS- ion can be done here means much to the city, as probably two hundred men will be employed.

RELEASE OF CLERICAL
 PRISONERS SEEMS EASIER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The Navy from Admiral Dewey summarizing the existing conditions at Manila and such points in the Philippines as have been visited by his officers. Advices also have been received from General Otis. the commandant of the United States military forces in the islands, and they both go to show notable improvement in conditions and the growth of a bet ter spirit among those factions of the natives which promised to give trouble. This fact is particularly gratifying, as the United States Government is al- ready giving considerable attention to the best means at hand to redeem the pledge it was placed under by the treaty of peace at Paris to secure the release of the Spanish prisoners held by the Philippine natives. There are about five hundred clerical prisoners. and the Government is confident that their captors will deliver them up on proper representations from General sibly, through Consul Wildman. It may be necessary to call the navy into service in this matter, for the reason that some of the prisoners are held in captivity on other islands than Luzon which can be reached best and most ef- fectively by Admiral Dewey's ships.
 Besides these clerical prisoners, the Americans themselves held nearly 15,- 900 Spanish soldiers as prisoners, men captured at the fall of Manila These are actually on parole about the city, and the question is how are they to be returned to Spain. This must be set tied by the Peace Commissioners at

BOOK AGENTS ARE
 TO BE UNiONIZED
New Plan to Make More Effective the Boycott Declared Against
 Publishers.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Book agents are to be unioniZed. The International Typo graphical Union has adopted a peculiar plan to make more effective the boycotts declared against book publishers who en- ploy non-union labor. Five thousand dol lars has been appropriated by the execu- tive board, on recommendation of the off, cers of the Chicago Typographical Union to be used in organizing unions of book agents.
 President Donnelly of the Typographi- cal Union has appointed John Mcfarland organizer, and the work of gathering book agents into the fold will be begun at once. There is now in existence an organization known as the American Agents Associ- ation which includes all classes of peripa- tetic salesmen, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor. It is pro- posed that book agents unions will be or ganized under the general charter of the American Agents Association. It is said that at present a majority of the publish CTS of subscription books employ non-union printers, pressmen, etc, and the move now on foot if successful. will force them to unionize or go out of business.

A party of twelve will leave the university this month en route to Mexico. It is, &C., cording to Dr. Jordan, to be merely a pleasure trip, but if it proves to be as valuable as many others of similar in- tent which he has taken, the students of Stanford University may expect some rare returns from him next school ses- sion. The doctor has great faculty for collecting whole portfolios of photographs and incidents. These have made up many of his Tuesday evening lectures in the past and probably will continue to do this coming year.
