SANTA FE ANDs. p. AGREE.
Former Road Will Be Allowed Track
age Over 70 Miles of S. P. Road.

ST. Louis, Jan. 5.-The GlObe-Demo-
crat says: A matter of some moment,
particularly in it's bearing on the future
relations of two great properties, is the
announcement that the Southern PACING
company and the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway company have reach
ed a definite agreement, by which the
latter will be accorded trackage rights
over the line of the Southern Pacific be-
tween MojaVe and Bakersfield, Cal
1t will be remembered that when the
Atchison recently arranged to purchase
control of the San Francisco and San
Joaquin Valley railway, thus gaining
line which, when completed, will run
from Bakersfield to San Francisco bay,
there was still a gap of about 20 miles
remaining to be covered in some way
between the AtchiSon'S main line and
Bakersfield before that company would
possess an unbroken line from Chicago
to San Francisco. The hope was ex-
pressed that running rights over the ex-
listing line of the Southern Pacific might
be secured, but it was by no means GER
tain with what spirit the OvertureS of a
competing road about to enter the i'm
portant district of which San Francis
co is the focus would be met. The event
above referred to not only removes the
necessity for the building of a second
line, where the traffic is not more than
enough for one 6he Bakersfield and
Los Angeles was Incorporated last Sep
TENDER before the Atchison's purchase
was announced to construct the con-
Meeting road, but is an earnest that
the two companies will work on a har-
rnoniouS basis.

Senator Jones, who is chairman Of the
Democratic national committee, spent
most of his time in John P. Altgeld' 5
office. When his conferees came in Alt
geld was invited to the meeting at the
hotel. All through the day Altge1d was
visited, consulted, and made much of.
Mayor Harrison and his friends were
entirely overlooked. The mayor was
neither invited to be present at the con-
ference nor was he visited by any of
them. In fact, he did not know until
after the conference that they were in
the city. Thomas Gahan is the Illinois
member of the national committee, but
he was also sighted. In fact, every one
of the mayors friends was totally ig-

BABOON WITH A JAG.
Prof. Macart's Performer Got
Drunk and Smashed Things.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 5.-People in the
Creighton theater were treated to the
spectacle of a big baboon in a drunken
frenzy this morning. He was at liberty
for twenty minutes, and during that
time caused more damage about the
arcade of the building and on the stage
of the theater than three men could in
that time. Three long pier mirrors in
as many dressing rooms were broken
by the beast. These mirrors were the
objects of his special fury, probably
from the fact that he saw his own re-
Election in them and thought it another
of his kind.
The baboon belongs to Prof. Macart's
performing troup of dogs and monkeys.
He is usually chained in a dressing
room by himself. This morning, when
the stage hands, headed by Stage Man
ager Stewart, entered the stage, they
were confronted by the animal, who
Sprang at them.
Not being able 60 bite, having a heavy
muzzle on him, the beast twined his
arms about Stewards legs and threw
him down, and then jumped for the
who fed through the door with the
baboon in hot pursuit.
Landon lodged him and the baboon
entered the Lewis saloon through an
arcade door AS he jumped on the bar
the bartender fed. A bottle of whisky
and two bottles of beer on the bar the
baboon grasped and fled to his dressing
room.
On the way the baboon met Manager
Rosenthal, who had come out of his
office to see what the trouble was. A
bottle of beer SHE'D at RosenthaPs head
caused him to run for safety.
Instead of getting into his own room
the babOon got into Miss Maud Beal
Prices room, where he drank a portion
of the whisky and threw the bottle
through the mirror.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin Milton Royle's
room and that of La Belle Wilmas was
next visited, and both the mirrors were
broken and general havoc wrought with
clothing and grease paints.
The baboon had his own way until
Prof Macrat, who had been sent for,
arrived. The drunken baboon is now
sleeping off his frolic with a towel about
his head.

night at the twenty-seventh convoca-
ton of the university that gifts aggre-
eating $403, 900 had been made to the in
stitution. Martin A. Reyerson. president

The value of this is s34, 900. John D.

the university as an athletic field. The
value of this land is estimated at $685.
600. Mr. Rockefeller agreed that when
this was given toy the school
he would give $500. 900 for the building
of a gynna SUM and the equipment of the
athletic grounds. The university has

Wichita, Jan. 5.--From what can be
learned there is going to be the liveliesI
sort of a scrimmage for the member
ship on the railroad court of visitation
just created by the Populists. There
is disposition among the visiting
Republican party should begin at once
to riddle the new Populist measure, and
there is quite sentiment that if the
railroad law is declared unconStitution-
al and void it should be through the
agency of those opposed to it land not
by a partisan attack.
In addition to the two members of the
state board of charities who will be APP
pointed next week, there will be one di-
ton OF Warden Lands remaining in
Office is likely to cause an immediate
pressure for the appointment of a war
den, so that a contest may be made on
Lands at once. Governor Leedy ap-
pointed Lands to hold until 1900, long
after Leedy would have retired, and it is
believed that Lands has an inclination
to remain in until charges are preferred
against him and he is ousted through
this accomplished at once. There are
only two known candidates for warden
of the penitentiary, Skinner of Cowley
and Brown of Harper Both aspirantS
are doing very little. Skinner has
knockers against him in CoWley. UP to
date no one from his own camp is
known to have fought Brown.
1t is said here that the plans for the
future contemplate a denomination of the
state ticket two years hence, Leland's
reelection to the national committee
and Mckinley delegation to the national
convention, with a reelection of Sena-
tor Baker to the United States senate.
