WILL NOT CONSOLIDATE.
New York Central Not to Absorb the
Pennsylvania

PHILADELPHIA, July IA prominent
official close to President A. j. Cassatt of
the Pennsylvania Railroad to-day denied
the published statement that the Penn
sylvania and the New York Central Rail-
road had entered a compact by which the
two systems had practically become one.
To a reporter he said
There has never been any thought OF
consolidating the two systems. The New
York Central is practically a family rail-
road, owned by the Yanderbilts while
there are 30 900 stockholders in the Penn
sylvania road. The relations of the two
companies are pleasant, but as the Penn
svlvania Railroad is competing with the
New York Central for traffic the interests
of the two roads are not compatible and
ton would be out of the question .

London, Nov. 27.-As a result of the

that the negotiations have reached a
hopeful stage.
According to reports current here, in
consequence of Russia and France fail

TO take up the Chinese question still

Maj. Mulrord.s scandalous Record.

Omaha, Neb.. Nov. 27.-The Bee yes
terday said: Omaha people were much
surprised at the announcement of the
marriage of Maj. Milford, of the Twen-
ty-ninth volunteer regiment. He went
out as a major of the First Nebraska
and came out as it's colonel. He had
been married for several years and
there were no reports of any differences
until after his return from Manila.
Then it was noised about that he had
practically abandoned his wife. She
had done everything in her power to
bring about his promotion to the
colonelcy of the First Nebraska, but
when he returned it was soon evident to
| her that she was no longer to share his
| lows and sorrows When the colonel re-
turned to Omaha he started divorce
proceedings on the ground of desertion,

her a stipulated sum per month for

vorce was granted on Thursday. but has

case have not been paid Lawyers say
i that until the decree is entered upon

no divorce had been granted, and that

sire, she could successfully prosecute

MILES ON TRANsvAAL WAR.

MANY Lives.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 27.--When Gen
Nelson A. Miles, who arrived here FRI |
day night from New Orleans, was asked
what he thought would be the probable
result of the war in the Transvaal he
did not hesitate to say England would
eventually win, but he emphasized the
fact that the victory would be bought
with a great sacrifice of lives and prop
erty.
British arms in the Transvaal will
be carried to victory he said, but
there will be many lives lost much
property swept away and great finan
cial cost. England has the advantage
in number of men, more supplies and
more money. That is all.
IF the Boer had as many soldiers and
as many stores of supplies, would not
undertake TO say what would be the re-
suit. But while the British possess all
these supplies and have an unlimited
number of men, both at home and in
the colonies. to draw from, 1t must be
remembered that the war is far re-
moved from the base of supplies.
