Latest Specimen in Rumor.

The latest rumor in connection with the
ST. Paul & Duluth comes from Duluth is
to the effect that the Great Northern has
situation by buying the St. Paul & Duluth.
Railroad men generally are of the opinion
that there is no foundation for it although
a few We're inclined to give 1t some Gre
dence owing to the fact that Vice Presi-
dent Plough, of st. Paul & Duluth, has
been In New York during the past few

NEWS OF RAILROADS
PRESIDENT BURT SAFE.
Stories of His Removal From the U.
p. Presidency Are Discredited.

OMAHA, Neb., April 19.-At Union Pa
cilic headquarters, in this city, the story
that President Burt is likely to be forced
out is scoffed at. Mr.. Burt himself is
not in the city, but officials of the COM
pany who are here say there is every
evidence that the president has the en-
tire confidence of the directory. That
there is some truth in the rumors per-
tanning to a readjustment of traffic
turned over by the Union Pacific to East
ern lines is admitted to be probable, but
1t is not thought this will occur until the
completion of the Illinois Central to this
city, which is several months in the fu-
ture.

s, 1t Is the opinion no of several officials that
ward a separate understanding.
An effort will be made, providing a sep
arate understanding is not reached, to
bring the Chicago-St. Paul lines in under
the general rules of the Western Passen-
ger association. This matter will come up
at Wednesdays meeting.

WEIGHING OF MAIL.

SGme DAVIS Yet

Some Days Yet.
The weighing of mail, carried on for the
purpose of obtaining figures on which to
base contracts between the government
and the various railroads, which has been
going on since March rs, will probably be
continued until some time in May.
The figures obtained thus far show that
the Great Northern leads in the guam
tity going out. The incoming mail on the
Milwaukee averages about 10000 pounds a
day and the out going mail on all the
5oads averages a little more than 100000.

PARTITION OF SAMOA.
The Whole Matter Now in Fair Way
For Settlement

London, Nov. 6.-Although the exact
terms of the agreement are still care
fully guarded, the Associated Press is
able to say that the Samoan question is
practically settled, and that the final
tiles will take place within few days,
unless some most unexpected hitch oc-
ours, but it can be said that American
control of Tutila island is confirmed
and agreed to while the United States
has 1t is understood Signified it's ap-
prevail Of the projected arrangements
between Germany and Great Britain.
Regarding the details of the latter the
BRUSH foreign Office remains mute eX-
cept TO authorize the statement that
none OF the recent SurmiSeS of the Ger
man press has correctly outlined the
plan, winch now seems sure Of accept
ance- 1t is also emphaticalIy denied
tnat the United States has been in any
way neglected in the negotiations It
is pointed out that the United States
having secured the Tutila island OBJ
tanned all she expected or desired, but
though thoroughly satisfied, she was
kept cOnYerSant with and always con-
suited about the negotiations which
proceeded between Germany and Great
Britain.
Last week it was believed that an
1mpaSse had been reached and the dip

settlement was attainable in the near
future.
The sudden turn in the negotiations
ana the overcoming of the apparently
unSurmOuntable obstacles created al
most as much surprise as gratifica-
ton. Of course it is still within the
limits OF possibility that another and
entirely unexpected contingency may
arse during the interim OF the drawing
up OF the papers and signing of them.
But there is avery reason to believe
that an oncial statement will be given
out this week announcing the terms of
the settlement of this long standing in
ternatiOnal difficulty.

THE KEYSTONE STATE
Republicans Claim $4,000 Plurality
Fraud Predicted.

Philadelphia, Nov. 6.-Chairman Reed
er. of the Republican state committee,
said last night that he has. received re-
ports from every county in the state con-
veying conservative estimates of the vote
Of Tuesday, next. Mr.. Reeder declined
to make public any of these county esti-
mates, but said his estimate, based on
these returns, is that the Republican
state ticket will have a plurality of at
least us 900 votes.
Democratic State Chairman Killing
said: I'VE frankly state that we can
not hope to win if the fraudulent condi-
tons in Philadelphia that have existed
in the past are to continue next Tues
day"
Should these alleged fraudulent condi-
tiOns not prevail, Mr.. Killing expressed
the belief that Mr. Greasy. the Demo-
cratic candidate for state treasurer. viii
be elected by handsome majority. To
sustain this conclusion. Mr.. Killing says
the Democrats will benefit by the stay
at home vote on account of it being an
off year; that 50 per cent of the 100 600
votes cast for Swallow, the independent
candidate of last year, will go to Greasy;
that $4,000 Independent Republicans will
vote for Greasy, and that. 'by the action
taken by different organization We hope
to prevent at least $4,000 illegal votes
from being counted in Philadelphia

islature although they may lose one or
two senators, but there was a good
chance of gaining two or three assem-

JONES GIVEN 1OO, 900.
Cincinnati, Nov. 6.-The claims made
for Nash vary from 29. 900 to $4,000 plur-
ality, the wide difference being caused
by the uncertainty of Jones vote now
conceded to be well on to 100000 in the

FIGHT IN NEW YORK.
Republicans Concede Loss of Three
Assem- blymen in City.


New York, Nov. Orchard Croker,
who is personally directing the campaign
in the boroughs of Manhattan and the
Bronx, says that the Tammany district
leaders are increasing their estimates Of
the Democratic majorities. He claims
10000 or more plurality on the county
ticket. The Democrats have flooded the
city and state with campaign literature
bearing on the assembly contest. The al
legged purpose of the Republicans to
amend the New York charter so as to
give Albany more power over affairs in
this city has been taken up by Tam
tricts in this city with the home rule
cry.
Chairman OdelI. of the Republican state
committee, estimates that the Democrats
will gain three seats. but the general
opinion is that the Democrats will gain
at least twice as many as that. Except
for the efforts of the Independent labor

The Beers and the CRATES.

IFrOm the Scientific American.
The Beers are credited with being
great hunters, and chief of them in his
younger days, was President Kruger,
whose daring in attacking a lion single
handed, with a hunting knife, has many
times been told. When the Beers mi
grated from Cape Colony to the Trans
wall they were forced to clear the way
by killing 5000 lions, many of which
were killed by Kruger. For years the
South African Beers have been hunt
ers, and their skill with the knife is
due to this daily practice in the fields
and woods. But with them the killing
of game has been either a matter of
dollars and cents or self protection
Their creditable work of freeing South
Africa of the dreaded lions, which
roamed in such numbers that life was
try, is offset by their ruthless destruc-
ton of the giraffe from Cape Colony to
the BotietH river If they killed 5000
lions in the Transvaal before existence
was made safe, they may have killed
60,0 900 of the innocent, graceful giraffes.
In the early days of South African
history the giraffe was the most abund-
ant game in the Transvaal, Matabele-
land and Orange Free State, but the
creature has been killed off like our
American buffalo, and the few remain
ing representatives of a noble race
gradually driven north. For years past
the giraffe has been a profitable quar-
ry for the BOer hunters, and the ami
NAL was valued by them only because
use. They were pot hunted, shot down
in droVes, and destroyed in the great
est number possible in every direction.
A good giraffe skin is worth from so
to $40 in South Africa today, and much
more in Europe. On their hunting trips
ten and fifteen years ago it was a com
mon matter for one hunter to kill forty
and fifty of these graceful animals in
one day. The reason for this is that
the giraffe is the most innocent of ami
mails and is easily hunted. 1t is absO-
lutely defenceless, and there is hardly
a case on record where a wounded. gil
raffe turned upon the hunter 1t is true
giratfes have great power of speed, and
they can dodge rapidly from tree to
tree in the woods, but they offer such
a fair mark that these tactics hardly
ever save them.
The hide of the animal is its chief ar
ticle of value No wonder that the bull
lets often fail to penetrate this skin,
for it is from three-quarters of an inch
to an inch thick, and as tough as it is
thick. The skin, when cured and tanned
makes excellent leather for certain pur-
poses The Beers make riding whips
and sandals out of the skin they do
not send to Europe. The bones of the
giraffe also have a commercial value
The leg bones are solid instead of hol-
low, and in Europe they are in great
demand for manufacturing buttons and
| other bone articles. The tendOns of the
| giraffe are so strong that they will sus-
| tain an enormous dead weight, which
gives to them pecuniary value.

HATE AGUINALDO.
Sentiments of Two Recently Arrived
FiIipinos.

Philadelphia, Nov 6.-Two Fflipinos
arrived in this city on the bark Cal
burga, which reached this port with
cargo of hemp from Manila after
voyage of 147 days. Their names are
Ciferino and Morriscanon and both ex-
press extreme hatred for Agu1naIdo.
In speaking of the war in the Philip
pines Ciferino said: The Fflipinos are
losing ground and I do not think the
war will last much longer. Aguinaldo
is a tyrant. He fools his poor ignorant
followers and makes them believe that
if Americans win and get possession of
the islands they will be treated worse
than they were by the Spaniards
MANY of them still think they are
fighting -Spaniards.
When there are any signs of weak
ening among his troops Aguinaldo
whips them back into line by threaten
ing to kill them. He and his lieuten-

they were not forced to fight to help
him get money and power.
In Manila and other places where
the Americans are in control everything
is quiet and peaceful. The people like
the open hearted way in which the gov
eminent is carried on and are anxious
to see AguinaldO crushed"
