TO OPEN COPPER LANDS.
Grand Canyon Road Will Be Extend
ed Into the Mineral Country.

Chicago, Dec. 22-Col. L. NJ Martin.
vice president of the Santa Fe and
Grand Canyon railway, who with a
party of eastern capitalists has been
on tour of inspection in the west, left
for the east today. Col. Martin and
associates decided to extend their road
at once to the copper mines at Grand
Canyon, where there is more copper in
sight, it is said, than in any other To-
cality in the country. They expect to
complete the work within 80 days and
interesting ceremonies will attend the
opening of the road. The last spike will
be driven the latter part of January
and will be Of solid gold The extern
sion will enable the owners of the
mines to begin shipping ores to the
Williams smelter, which has been com
pIeted for some time, and is in readi-
ness to be started up the minute the
ore can be taken to it.
In addition to the opening of this
vast copper country, the road will pass
through a most picturesque country
and will open up a section of the west
that heretofore has been traversed by
STAGES only.

CRAZY MAN AND A GUN.
Combination Causes a stampede
in a Chicago Street.

Chicago, Dec ga mad man armed
with a revolver, held undisputed pos
session OF the sidewalk at Twelfth and
Wood streets last evening for half an
hour and was only overcome and sub
dued after he had made two attempts
at murder and fired point blank into a
crowd Of passing working girls.
Julius Nunsett, 60 years old, was the
offender. He threw his cap into the
street and tore at his hair, uttering inn
precautions on all who passed. Alfred
Fisher, accompanied by friend, turned
into Twelfth street from Wood, and
Nunsett thrust out a OBTAINING arm.
In a voice hOarse with rage, he de-
manded that Fisher lead him to Four
teenth street, and as the young man
turned to direct him, the mad man
drew his revolver and fired a shot at
such close range that the powder blind
ed Fisher for a moment.
Twelfth street was crowded with girls
returning home from neighbOring fac
tories and they paused at the corner
to watch the strange actions of the
there was united rush for shelter and
shrieks of alarm. This drew Nunsett's
attention from his first victim and he
wheeled around and directed two shots
towards the fleeing girls.
Policeman Patrick Mulvihiu was at
tracted by the pistol shots and he ar
rived just when Nunsett was shooting
at the girls. So many people We're
abroad that it was hazardous for the
officer to use his own revolver and he
bravely rushed upon the mad man IN
armed. Nunsett saw him coming and
fired when the policeman was within a

the officers cheek. An instant later

GOEBEL,S REASONS
Why He Carrie H-s Contest to the
Legislator

Frankfort, Ky. Dec. 22--The address
to the Democracy of the state, indorsing
the contest instituted by Goebel ana
other candidates of the defeated Demo-
cratic ticket and giving the reasons
therefore was issued last night. 1t IS
signed by former Senator Blackburn,
chairman of the state campaign com
mittee, Chairman Young, OF the state
and central executive committees and
all the members of those committees.
It says in part:
The state board of election commits
sfOners at its recent session, issued
certificates of election to all of the Re
publican candidates for state offices,
but the board expressly declared IN the
opinion that it rendered, that Il acted
simply as q canEaSSing board without
power or authority as it construed the
law. to inquire into the Legality or val
idity OF the contested votes. The board
expressed the opinion that If clothed
with the authority to go behind the re-
turns and determine the matters in con-
tention, the certificates of election
would not have been issued to the par
ties who received them.
We feel that in the light OF the ac-
ton of this board, the Democratic par
ty can not do less than to carry It's con
tention to the tribunals created by law
for its determination. The grounds
upon which this contest is based con-
sist OF the protest against the use of
the tissue ballots in many overWhelm-
iueIv Republican counties in the state.
The use of these ballots is not only in
violation of the letter of the law, but it
is in utter and open defiance OF the
spirit of the law and the use of these
ballots furnishes not only prima IA
Gle, but also conclusive evidence OF
purposed fraud.
Another ground of contest is because
of the plain violation and defiance Of
law by the late Republican governor of
the state who whilst actively engaged
in the making Of stump speeches and
the prosecution of a partisan political
canvass. ordered out the militia and in
violation Of both law and precedent,

Other Ending of Transvaal War Is
Homeless

New York. Dec. ga Herald dispatch
from Paris says. Many French journals
continue to cling to the idea that England
should make peace and that there is a
possibility of Intervention by some power.
But the leading statesmen do not share
this view The opinion of the latter are
well reflected in this converse ton. which
was had with NJ. Ribot, former minister
of foreign affairs and premier:
THE idea of intervention by Europe or
other nations in the TransvaaI war would
be the last thing to present itself to my
mind The thing is impossible consider
ing all the circumstances, not however,
because the powers do not wish to do so.
Any one of them would be willing. if its
Intervention were likely to be accepted
and no nation could wear a brighter pO-
Htical feather in its cap.
But at the present time. England is in
no mood to accept Intervention. Her reas-
ons We can perfectly well understand
England feels that if there ever was a
moment when she could not permit q
compromise, this is that moment. To tell
the truth all the other powers know it
too. hence it is absolutely hopeless to talk
Of intervention, and there is little SINGER

costing or advocating it,

One feature which has been added this

RAILROAD NEWS.
Santa Fe Car Hen Complete a
Schedule of Wages.
Represents What They Want
Under Piece Work System.
UP TO THE OFFICIALS
Solution of Trouble Now Rests
With the Company.
Men Say the Prices Asked Are
Only Just.

The new schedule of wages to be
paid under the piece work system,
which has been arranged by the COM
mittee of car men appointed by the
workmen in the car sheds at the re-
quest of the Santa Fe mechanical Off
Gals, was completed and handed in to
Mr. John Hodge, master car builder,
Thursday. afternoon.
This new schedule is said to be fair,
and to justly fit the conditions at the
Santa Fe shops here. 1t differs in many
features from the schedule which was
made out by the company, and which,
when put into operation in the car
sheds. came very near causing walk
out of the men.
The handing in of the revised sche-
dule of wages by the committee of
wOrkmen marks a turning point in the
piece work controversy. A COnSidera lie
responsibility is now placed on the Off
Gals who have the adoption of a final
schedule in hand Their decision will
interest and concern the entire shops.
1t IS not the piece work system which
the men are finding fault with, but the
schedule which was inaugurated. Prac-
tically all the men are willing to work
under the piece work system. but they
want a fair schedule governing it. 1t
was to adjust matters that a committee
of the WOrkmen in the car sheds was
appointed at the suggestion of the OFF,
Gals to arrange schedule of prices
which they would be satisfied to work
under.
The adjustment of the piece work
controversy now rests with the officials
The men have handed in a schedule,
which they claim is just. If this sche-
dule is adopted. the adoption will mark
a peaceful solution of the trouble at the
car sheds.
The action of the officials will have
immediate bearing on the other depart
ments of the Santa Fe shops here. The
other departments are, as yet, not
working to any great extent under the
piece work system. The men are watch
ing closely the outcome of the trouble
in the car sheds, and the manner in
which the officials deal with this trou-
BILE viii show to them what to expect
from the company when the piece work
system is established in their respective
departments.

KNIFE SHARPENING GOES ON.
But Little Prospect of Settlement Of
Transcontinental Rate Troubles

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Hopes for an annie
able settlement of the differences that
have arisen from the old differential
sQuabbIe in the east are DINNER than
ever before. The situation has taken
another turn for the worse, and it is
not impossible that the second class
rate from this city to San Francisco
soon viii be shaved, if not actually
slashed. Local passenger men have dis
covered BOStOn-San Francisco tickets
in the Chicago market which are being
offered at rates lower than the regular
ChicagO-San Francisco rate.
The Vanderbilts and their western
connections have openly expressed their
determination to secure the same rate
from New England points to Pac1hc
coast points as that offered by the diff
ferential lines.
At a meeting held by representatives
of transcontinental lines here today,
committee composed of Z. o. Nc
Cormick and Edward HawIey, of tho
Southern Pacific, George T. Nicholson,
of the Santa Fe; Z. S. EuStiS, of the
Burlington; W. B. Knsikern, of the
Northwestern; John Sebastian, of the
Rock Island; George H. Heaford, of
the St. Paul; Robert Kerr, of the Pa
cific; F. H. Lord, of the Great Western,
and Frank I. Whitney, of the Great
Northern, was appointed to meet with
representatives of the New England
lines January 4, in Boston, and to re-
port the result of the meeting to the
tranScOntinenta1 men in this city, five
days alter. The chief objective of the
Boston meeting is to determine the
strength of those who want to settle the
trouble amicably.
The Burlington, the Rock Island, the
ST Paul and Northwestern, the lines
that are bOycOtted by the Boston and
Maine and the Fitchburg roads, have
given all other roads to understand
that they will stand by the Boston and
Albany, if the Santa F'e, the Alton and
the Missouri Pacific continue to give
their support west of Chicago to the
n Taf
