Is the Southern Pacific. The travel
ing public q easily understand this
when it is known that this is the only
line running coaches through TO Cali
fornia points without change, the only
line running tourist sleepers direct
from Ell Paso to Los Angeles and San
Francisco, the only line running pull
man palace cars direct to the above
named cities without transfer and the
only line running buffet cars, thus en-
aiding passengers to obtain their meals
at hours convenient to themselves.
Seventeen hours shorter time to Los
Angeles than by other lines

OMAHA, Nebr, Nov. 19-Miss Ma
ME Hartley of Lincoln has just return
ed frcm a tour of the Philippine ISL
ands, having gone there a year o. more
ago as an agent of the White Cross
With three ether American ladies Miss
Hartley was invited by General Bates
| 20 accompany him and his party to
visit the Sultan Of Sulu, there TO nego-
tiate the treaty over which 50 much
partisan clamor has been raised OF
,-e incident Miss Hartley tells this
story:
The party first visited the Sultan's
home, where they were all entertained
Co a dinner consisting of dried fish in
oil. The Sultana is an cd hag in APP
| pearance Nest of her teeth are gone
and thOse that remain are perfectly
| black. She wore a soldiers left-hand
white glove on her right hand, for the
| reason, 50 it was afterward explained,
that she did not want to shake hands
with the Christian dogs. However,
| she treated us exceedingly we'll and
spoke of brotherly love and apparent
| ly seemed in favor of having the treaty
signed.
I'VE said we couldn't eat the fish
| that was brought out to us, but General
| Bates said that if we refused the Sui
| tana would be offended and that for
| the sake Of the treaty we would have to
| eat some of it. The chief that had
| fr4 niShed SO much amusement for the
party sat at one end of the table; but
he refused absolutely to eat any thing
thinhing the fish was poisoned. 1t was
before this that he had refused to mar
ry the Sulbana, and he naturally ex-
pected she had a desire to kill him. 1t
required a good deal of nerve to eat
the stuff, especially after one Of the
natives had refused to eat it because
he thought it might be poisoned All
the American officers were unarmed,
and we Were completely at their mer-
cy. General Bates thought that going
among them without arms would de-
n2onstrate the friendline&s entertained
toward them, and especially If there
were American women in the party.
From the Sultanas home the entire
party travelled over the Kings highway
to the Sultan's house. where we were
received in an upstairs room. The
Sultan is a young man. very stout and
sleepy. A long yellow gown hung
from his shoulders ana he wore Il
colOred turbar on his head. He shook
hands with all of us and then at his
proposal we adjourned to the council
chamber and negotiations were opened
at once for the signing of the treaty.
The Sultan was perfectly willing to
| be an American and receive $3.50 per
month. but he wanted to fly his own
flag, and on this point he remained
| obstinate for some time. He finally
said he would agree to fly the Amer
lean flag if allowed to run I'D his own
whenever he saw a ship approaching.
! After an hour or so with the Sultan,
| General Bates finally convinced him
that the United States could not pro-
tect him unless the United States flag
was allowed to remain where it could
be seen by approaching ships. This
satisfied him and he signed the treaty.

George w Horton who is condemned
to die on the scaffold on Friday, yesterday

prayer for a stay of the execution of the
judgment Of the court

President Mckinley at an early hour and
asked that the prisoner be granted a re-
spite, in order that they might take his
case TO the Supreme Court of the United
States. Soon after leaving the White
House. Horizons counsel filed a petition
in the United States Supreme Court for a
writ of certiorari 10 issue TO the Court of
Appeals for the District
When President Mckinley was Gp-
preached on the subject Of a reprieve foy
Horton. he referred Messrs. Jeffords and
Wells to the Department of Justice, at
the same time stating that if no objection
We're interposed there, he would grant the
reprieve tomorrow upon his return from
Canton. Ohio
Taking everything into consideration
there is little room to doubt that Horton s
