A BIG RAILROAD DEAL
Agents for the Vanderbilts in the
West.
WILL GET INTO SEATTLE
1t Is Expected That the Union Pacific
Will Soon Have Terminals In
San Francisco and in
Los Angeles.

San Francisco Feb. 4.-W. H. Llewel-
Ign and George Tiffany, two New York
capitalists, are here. They are said to
have come West on an important railroad
deal. They have in view nothing less than
the building of railroad from Portland
to Tacoma and Seattle, distance of 14O
miles. Bonds have already been placed
in New York to raise the necessary money
for the construction of this road.
1t Is common gossip that Llewellyn and
Tiffany are agents for the Vanderbilts,
specially commissioned to build line for
the Union Pacific into Tacoma and Seat
tie after it secures its old entrance into
Portland by controlling the Short Line
and Oregon Railway and Navigation COM
pany.
The Union Pacific's programme is to get
into Portland, Tacoma and Seattle in or
der to compete with the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern roads. Once in con-
troll of the Short Line it will be in a po-
stion to extend one of the latter's branch
es from Salt Lake to Los Angeles When
and how it will get into San Francisco is
a matter of vague speculation at this
time. All the prominent railroad men in
the West, however, are convinced that
the Union Pacific will before long have
terminals in Los Angeles, this city, Port
land, Tacoma and Seattle.

In Trouble Before.

San Francisco, Feb. 4.-Chrstian Reis,
jr., who shot and seriously wounded ibis
friend, w. S. Pardy, yesterday, got into
serious trouble at Panama in 1895. he
left New York on Oct. of that year on
the steamer Alliance for Panama, intend
ing to come home by the way of the 18th
mus. On the day of his departure a man
named Joseph Reiss swindled the jewelry
firm of F'riedlnger & Co.. and when Refs
a, rived at Colon he found the vice consul
and police officer waiting for him. They
had been notified to look out for Joseph
Reiss whose description tailed with that
OF Refs in many respects, and they jump
ed at once to the conclusion that the San
Francisco man was the one they were
looking for. He was arrested three times
and finally imprisoned, the fact that he
possessed a diamond ring valued at $IDa
being considered strong evidence against
him. 1t is said that Pardy was negotiat-
ing for this same diamond before he was
shot by Refs. OF

A HORRIBLE DISCOVERY.
A Woman Gets Into u Trunk and Com
mits Suicide.

Binghamton, N. Y, Feb. 4.--Closely
doubled up in a closed trunk, with her
head bent over chloroform bottle. the
body of Miss Helen Ayers, a prosper
Gus business woman, was found in her
apartments at Penn Yam to-day. The
peculiar position of the womans body
and the fact that the police have To-
Gated the place where she bought the
chloroform incline them to the belief
that Miss Ayers committed suicide.
Be this as it may, an air of mystery
is given by the fact that man was
seen coming from the direction of Miss
Ayers apartments about the time the
tragedy is supposed to have occurred.
Miss Ayers had rooms in a private
house and took her meals at the Knapp
hotel. She was well and in good spirits
when seen the night before her disap-
pearance.
Yesterday she failed to appear for
meals. and the hotel proprietor, think
ing all was not right, notified Chief of
Police Eastman. That officer went to
the house and forced an entrance to
the room.
The room was in order. The bed was
made. but there were no traces of Miss
Ayers.
The chief opened a closet doer. and

REQUEST WAS REFUSED.
Effort Defeated by the Opponents
of the Treaty.
ALLEN HAS A SURPRISE
Will Denounce Democratic Opposition
to the Treaty as q Conspiracy
Against Bryan-Morgan in
Favor Of Ratification.

Washington, Feb. Another effort
was made in the executive session of the
senate to-day to secure unanimous con-
pretative of the peace treaty and it was
defeated by the opponents of the treaty.
The request was proffered by Senator
Sullivan Of Mississippi, who expressed
desire to have vote on the resolu-
ton offered by himself Senator Jones
made the objection. There was also an
effort to secure general consent to an
earlier meeting Monday, but this also
was refused, Senator Jones of Arkansas
acting as spokesman for the opposition.
Senator Lodge was in charge of the for
tunes Of the treaty to-day in the alb
sence of Senator Davis. He suggested
meeting Monday at IL o'clock, but con-
sent was refused, as was also consent
to a recess until IL o'clock Monday or
to an order dispensing with the routine
business on that day. The result was
an adjournment until II o'clock Mon
day without any conditions. The fact
developed during this fencing for time
that several senator's wished still to he
heard in explanation of their attitudes
Among those who have announced their
intention to be heard is Senator Allen
of Nebraska, who it was stated would
denounce the opposition to the treaty in
the democratic ranks as a conspiracy
against Mr.. Bryan.
For the rest of the session Senator
Morgan occupied the attention of the
senate in a very forcible argument in
support of the treaty. He declared his
conviction that the treaty should be
ratified without amendment or modify
ing declaration. He believed the Amer
lean commissioners to the Paris con-
ference had acted very wisely and in
the best interests of the whole country,
and he, for one, was willing to accept
their word just as they had given 1t to
us. He was also perfectly willing to
trust the president, he added, as he
would be by congress, to take care Of
the Philippine question in the way most
satisfactory to our people and in the
best interests of the Filipinos. He
warned the democratic senators against
taking a position against the treaty, as
sorting that if they succeeded in defeat
ing it they would wreck the democratic
party.
Senator Morgan commended that there
were no constitutional impediments in
the way of acquiring the Philippines
They could be acquired under inferno
Itional law and the constitution gave FUN
scope to the legislation giving effect 10

fairs, ~ Y" 2

WORK PROGRESSING.
The Panama Canal Will Be Completed
Within n Few Years.

Within Few Years.
New York, Feb. 4-The Herald says:
Reports of extensive work on the Panama
canal are brought by Charles L. Dobson,
an English civil engineer, who has just
arrived here from Colon. Mr.. Dobson
says:
81 have visited the canal on several oc-
casons since 1891, but I have never seen
anything like the activity visible at the
present. The French are evidently in
earnest and are progressing at wonder
fully rapid rate They are concentrating
their energies on the great Culebra cut
the most serious obstacle along the whole
route. The company has from 100 to
1000 laborers at work, with about 80 To-
comotves, each OF which hauls a train of
from 10 to Is cars. At the rate at which
they are now excavating the great cut
will be completed within nine month";.
My impression is that the management.
having finished this cut, will declare that
they have solved the greatest problem of
the canal and that additional funds are
all that is needed to carry the whole work
to completion
Water is actually In 10 miles Of the ca
nal on the Atlantic side and II on the Pa
eific side. UP to the present about $751;
DOC, 600 in American gold has been spent
and I believe the canal can be finished
for about $125,0 900. The company APP
pears to suffer from no lack of money
for the men are promptly paid The con-
cession given by Colombia expired last
October, but I am informed that arrange
ments have been made for it's extension
for another period of six years. My I'M
preston is that it will require about 10
years more work before the canal is
ready to receive Ships

Pe1ted with Flowers and Stones,

Marseilles, Feb 4.-The departure to-
day of NJ Henri Rochefort editor of In
transigeant, the radical organ, for Algeria
was the occasion for a remarkable dem
onstration. The Rue de la Cannebierre
was black with people and guarded by a
large force of police. When M. Roche

hemmed in by a bowling mob of friends
and enemies, intermingling cries of "Vive

filled with flowers, stones and oranges,

Fighting ensued and many persons were

HILL IS IN 1T.
| His Iron District Deal Causes Crashing
of Teeth

His Iron District Deal Causes Crashing
of Teeth.
Duluth, Mimi, Feb. 4.-The purchase
of the Wright & Davis logging road
known as the Duluth, Mississippi &
Northern, that runs from Swan river
on the western division of the eastern
railway of Minnesota to Hibbing,
where the big Mahoning mine is To-
Gated, not only marks the aggressive
entrance of the Great Northern into the
iron ore carrying trade, but 1t is the
consummation of a deal that to-day
caused great deal of gnashing of teeth
in the camp Of the Rockefellers.
1t marks the first contest revealed to
the public between James j. Hill and
John d. Rockefeller, who controls the
Duluth, Missabe & Northern.
The Wright & Davis property in
cludes not only the fee of the Mahon-
ing, which is shipping mine, and a
big one containing very rich ore, but
it includes $4,000 acres of land in st.
Louis and Itasca counties, in which is
also the Bennett and Longyear mines,
very fine properties, which, although
undeveloped, have been thoroughly ex-
plored. The Mahoning is leased and
operated by the Mahoning Ore COM
pany.
Up to a few weeks ago the Rockefel-
ieIS were ISSolldlllS lOT LllS Wright az
Davis road and other property in order
to secure the Mahoning mine. The
Wright & Davis people wanted a little
more money than Rockefeller at that
time cared to pay and negotiations were
dropped, apparently for the purpose of
forcing the Wright & Davis people to
accept Rockefeller's terms. Four weeks
ago young James Hill began negotia-
tons for the property, and to-day the
finishing touches were completed. The
Great Northern will not take possession
of the newly acquired property until
April l.
The deal includes some heavy log
ging contracts that were in the hands
of the Wright & Davis Co. The sum
paid was $4,000 08
Mr.. Hills invasion of the iron mining
region probably means much for inde-
pendent mine owners. His well known
policy to keep rates down to a mini
mum gives them much hope. A new
corporation is to be formed between
now and April to operate the Duluth,
Mississippi & Northern. It is under
stood the Chase National bank of New
York acted as financial agent for the
eastern railway.

Havana, Feb. 4.-The announcement
that General Calxto Garcia's body is be-

services here. 1t is said that General
Ludlow will permit 500 Cuban soldiers I'M
der arms to enter Havana on the day set
for the burial. and these, with detach-

The Gold Output.

Washington, Feb. According to Con-
sui Brush at Clifton Ontario, the output
of gold from the 1Slondike and British
Columbia has raised Canada to the fifth
place in the list of gold-producing coun-
tries. While the United States shows an
increased output for 1898. it is still second
to the Trarsyaal. According to the
latest figures the five leading gold-produc-
ing countries for 1898 are as follows:
Transvaal, s73,476, 600: United States, $64,-

Washington, Feb. 4.-The commission
to investigate the conduct of the war is
devoting all of its energies to closing up
its report. The rough draft Is practically
completed and copies are being made of
the document SO far as it is ready AS
soon as it is signed by the commission
on Monday it will be placed in the hands
of the president. The latter, it is be-
lieved, will make the document public af-
ter he has had opportunity to consider
1t carefully himself as this report will
serve as basis for whatever inquiry the
president may order into the charges
made by General Miles and into the con-
duct of that officer himself. This pro-
jected inquiry is the subject Of good
deal of discussion among the friends of
the two elements into which the military
service is divided, and has developed no
little acerbity of temper on the part of
some whenever the matter is referred to.

happened to lift the lid of trunk that
stood inside. He started back In hor-
ror. In the trunk, attired In night
robe, with her face over the bottle OF
chloroform, was bent the body of Miss
Ayers.
From indications she had been dead
several hours. 1t was first thought
she had been strangled into insensibil-
ity and placed in the trunk, but finally
the police found where she had bought
the chloroform the night before. From
this they concluded it was carefully
laid plan for self-destruction.
