Sends a Challenge

LEXINGTON, Ky, Feb. ga politi-
cal sensation is caused by the publica-
ton of a letter from Col. Thos. d. Moore
of Bourbon county, a leading Silver
Democrat, denouncing Desha Breckin-
ridge, son Of Col. w. C. P. Breckinridge
and editor of the Herald, suggesting a
duel to settle their differences. Col
Moore is an ex-Confederate and is par
alyzed in his right arm. He suggests
that both use left arms. The feeling
between the men was engendered In the

Branded CHERRIES
Should Be Classified as Fruit, Not as
Spirits

NEW YORK, Feb. "a decision In
the much discussed brandy cherry case
has been handed down by the Customs
Board of Classification in favor of the
importers. The individual protest just
decided was that of Mikalovitch, Fletch-
er g. Co. against the Surveyor of Gus
toms at Cincinnati. The dispute was
over the proper classification, under the
tariff law of 1894, of eight casks of cher
ries imported in spirits. The importa-
ton Of Mikalovitch, Fletcher & Co. con-
sisted of white cherries from Bor-
deaux. These goods were assessed at
first as n-enumerated manufactured
articles at 20 per cent ad valorem, but
they were subsequently re-classified by
the Surveyor in Cincinnati on the theory
that the merchandise should be re-
garded as brandy containing cherries
rather than cherries preserved in spir-
it's
Several experts testified that the
liquor in which the imported cherries
were preserved was of an inferior quail
ity and in no sense brandy. Not one OF
the casks in question contained more
than % per cent of alcohol and some OF
them contained only 16 per cent.

Baseless Stories About the
Santa Fe's Tunnel
IT is IN PERFECT CONDITION
THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S I'M
PRovEMENTS
Terminal Railway Officials Go to San
Francisco to Watch the Opening
of Harbor Work Bids

| The Santa Fe company has about COM
pleted its struggles with the tunnel al
Williams which has caused that roat
such great loss within the past few
weeks by catching on fire twice in the
space of a few days time. Chief En-
gineer Dunn of the Santa Fe company
arrived from the tunnel this morning
and went back this afternoon. 1t was
officially stated that there was no truth
in the dispatch printed in the San Fran
cisco papers of Tuesday to the effect that
the tunnel had caved in again. and that
a number of men had been hurt. The
work of repairs will be completed at the
latest by Friday evening.
THE HARBOR WORK BIDS
T. E. Gibbon, vice president of the
Terminal Railway company, left last
evening for San Francisco to attend the
opening of the bids for the construction
of the San Pedro breakwater. The bids
will be opened by Major Davis of the
army engineers office in that city, and
will then be sent to the secretary of war
for his action.
H. S. McKie of this city, who is alsc
interested in the Terminal road, said
yesterday that to his own knowledge at
least half dozen bids from responsible
contractors had been filed, all of them
offering to do the work for sum largely
inside of the limit of the appropriation.
Even if the bid accepted is announced
very soon, it is not likely that actual
work can commence for some time after,
as the plant required will take time to
get into shape, and the magnitude of the
undertaking is such as TO require much
preparatory effort before being ready for
construction.
IN PERFECT CONDITION
The Southern Pacific road is now in
what may be called perfect condition
from San Francisco to Ell Paso. That
is, in weight of rails, and in ballasting it
is the equal of the best eastern railways.
Yesterday Superintendent j. A. Muir re-
ceived word that the replacing of the
fifty-pound rails heretofore in use by
seventy-five pound ones, had been COM
pleted on all of the line from Ell Paso to
Tucson. On Mr.. Muirs division there
is only about sixty miles left to change,
and the work has well advanced on the
division between Tucson and Yuma.
While the rails have been changed, the
grades have been altered for the better,
and the line well ballasted. This latter
work will be finished in the next few
weeks by the placing of gravel ballast
all along the line from deposit recently
discovered at Mammoth Tank of the
cleanest washed gravel imaginable.
Where oil sprinkling can be used to ad-
vantage that method will be employed
to prevent dust to travellers, but on the
desert the oil is found to be unavailable,
as the sand blows over it in a few mo-
ments. Here the gravel will be used as
ballast, and will also act as dust pre-
venter. Chief Engineer Hood is now in
Arizona putting the finishing touches to
the work.

Ivored with several duets by the gentle

ling and expression. The singers were
loudly applauded and unfailingly re-
called, though responding towards the
last with evident reluctance.
The lecture of the evening was giver
by Rev. Thomas Nicholson, professor Of
Biblical literature in Cornell college
Mount Vernon, Iowa, on the Drama ol
job" The speaker treated his subject
entirely as a drama, and spoke OF the
large body of dramatic writing in the
Scriptures which preserve for us some OF
the best dramatic literature of antiquity.
True drama, he said. is the highest In
spiration of genius, and comparing jon
with other dramatic literature and the
test of genius being in the concealmen'
of the authors identity, noted how alb
solutely the writer was concealed In
this. 1t is finely written, from literary
standpoint, contains beautiful descrip-
tions and some of the greatest poetry
ever written. 1t is the nearest approach
to speculative philosophy the Jew ever
made, Ecclesiastes excepted
A keen analysis of the characters was
given with running comment on the
book. He utterly demolished some of
the time honored interpretations of some
of the passages, andHshowed how they
failed to teach the lessons that had been
drawn from them by the theologians.
The ghost scene in Job was graphically
described, for Job has a ghost scene as
sepulchural as Hamlet and Macbeth.
The speaker drew the moral lessons as
he proceeded, and showed that while
Job had no knowledge of immortality at
first, he was a better man when he
emerged from his Affections than when
he began. He learned that selfshness
is not the root of righteousness; he came
to know God better, and through trial
was fitted for greater and higher use
