WILL ABSORB ERIE
AND WABASH

London, Nov 19.-(New York Herald
Special.)-Plans are maturing for the
absorption OF the Erie and Wabash sys-
tens by the New York Central. The
Erie is the last great trunk line east
Of the Mississippi to come into the
Vanderbilt fold
William X. Vanderbilt has been Qui-
city buying Erie stock In the open mar
ket and has also been gathering up
Pennsylvania shares. Whether the New
York Central is to acquire the Erie by
purchase or by lease is not yet known.
One of these two methods will be
adopted.
For long time the acquisition of the
Wabash has been under consideration
by the Vanderbilts. The chief obstacle
has been the disinclination of the Van
derbilts to take over lines west of the
Mississippi. but negotiations are now
pending for turning over the Wabash
lines between the Mississippi and Kan
sas City to the Santa Fe system.
The Santa Fe now has n line out OF
Chicago to Kansas City, but not to st.
Louis. 1t lost st. Louis when the St
Louis Il San Francisco railway was
taken out of the Santa Fe system.
BY acquiring the Wabash line west of
the Mississippi the Santa Fe will again
have st. Louis on Its map.

Filipino. SIN Fighting.

Manila. Nov. 1S.-C'irst uncensured
news by cablegram since the American
occupatiOn.)-Last week witnessed a
very considerable increase I'm rebel and
American activity in the field. Many
skirmshes occurred and several small
engagements in northern and southern
Luzon. The termination of the rains
permits resumption of operations on
both sides.
The Americans are making a series
of aggressive movements against the
insurgents, notably on the island of Sa-
mar, with the exception of three coast
towns, each of which is garrisOned by
two companies of the Twenty-ninth
and platoon of artillery.
The rebels are continually shooting
into the garrisOned towns and our
forces have not been sufficient to re-
taliate effectively. Commerce in Samar
has been at standstill, and most Of
the influential inhabitants have de-
parted. General Hare has arrived there
with $50 men. He will bring eight
companies of the Second infantry from
the Island Of Marinduque, and will pro-
coed energetically to crush General
Lukhan. Meanwhile gunboat will pa
troll the coast to prevent the escape Of
the insurgent leader. Lukhan still
holds three members of the Forty third
regiment prisoners.

GA. r. ENCAMPMENT
RATE STILL OPEN

Denver. Colo. Nov. 10.-It is denied
by railroad officials in Denver that the
Western Passenger Association has
acted adversely on the request for a
cent a mile rate for the G. A. II. Ma
tional Encampment at Denver.
In connection with this statement
was the report that George II. Heaf-
ford, formerly passenger agent of the
Chicago, Milwaukee Il st. Paul road
had been actively opposed to the low
rate. Not willing to be misrepresented,
Mr.. Heafford has written the follow
ing letter for publications:
"Chicago, Nov. Is. 19OO.-My atten-
ton has been called to items recently
published to the effect that while l
was general passenger agent of the
Chicago, Milwaukee 4 st. Paul rail-
way l worked against the efforts of
Denver to secure one cent per mile
railway excursion rate for the Grand
Army of the Republic in 1901. The
genial liar who made this statement to
the newspaper reporters undoubtedly
belongs to some road competitive with
the milwaukee,, and his memory is
bad. For had severed my connection
with the c., NJ. & st. p. railway long

opportunity to even express an opinion

or the selection OF n place for the next

roads leading to Denver are members
of one or more hide-bound passenger
associations. and to those associations
must be submitted the question of ex-
cursion fares and arrangements before
any road can take action.
Il have no authority to speak for the
present general passenger agent of the
c., NJ. Il st. p. railway, but l believe
he thinks-as | do-that the railroads
of this country can and should give the
old soldiers reasonably low excursion
rates. whether the encampments be
held in Denver, Cleveland or Oshkosh.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 17-John Porter
was burned to death last night at Ii
mon, in Lincoln county, on the spot
where just n week before he assaulted
and murdered little Louise Frost.
A Republican special from Limon
says:
1.-The father of his victim dictated
the form of punishment, touched the
match to the kerosene soaked pyre,
and when Porter was breathing his
last words, it was Frost who asked
the crowd to keep still that he might
hear every word.
1.-The burning of Porter was horror
that equaled the crime. The details ex-
ceed the Imagination of anyone who
had not seen them.
1.-The negro arrived in Limon at 1886
O'Clock, having been put on the Union
Pacific train at Magnolia. He was in q
car at the end of the train with Sher-
if Freeman, Deputy Beistline, Deputy
Harper of Elbert county and about a
dozen newspaper men. Robert Frost,
the father of the child, was in another
car of the same train with DIR. Bass.
After the crowd visited the trains
in vain last night there was growing
feeling that the promise merely to
hang the negrs was vacated by the
failure to deliver him. Until morning
the leaders of the crowd who counseled
moderation argued with the men. Ear
ly this morning. finding themselves un-
able to stem the tide they left the city.

DROP In STRATTON'S
INDEPENDENCE

London, Nov. 19.-The sensational
drop of $40 share in the price of
Stratton's Independence stock within
a few weeks has been the feature of
the mining division of the stock mar
ket. A few weeks ago the shares were
selling at S15. To-day they got down
to So and the pressure to unload was
heavy.
According to the best informed min
ing experts. the decline in the stock is
due to n revision of opinion as to the
mines prospects.
At the time of the purchase of the
property, in April, when Mr.. Stratton
received the last payment of the S1U,-
OO0.OOO for which he had contracted TO
deliver the property, Mr.. Il. A. Rick
ard, the consulting engineer of the COM
pany, made statement in whica he
said there was upward of $13OOO,OUo in
gold in sight.
This has now been revised. and it is
said that only S2.OOO.OOO to $3,OOO,oOO
is in sight.
AS to the output, Mr.. Rickard said:
up to May. 1899. the yield was $4,-
OIL 500, out of which $2,574, 164 was
profit. The production for the first
year of the English company, ending
this month (ApriD. will be $3,OOO,OOO,
out of which $2,O0O.OOO will be de-
clared in dividends. This mine has
yielded grand total of $7,OOO,OOO and
and profit of S4,5OO,0OO.'
Upon such prospects the shares were
eagerly bought and the revised figures
are Il severe blow to the stockholders.
London. Nov. 19.-Frederick Baker of
Stratton's Independence and T. A.
Rickard of the Venture corporation re-
turned here Wednesday from Colorado,
where they visited the mine with John
Hays Hammond. The English invest
ors have lost lot of money in STRAIT
tons Independence, and there is gen.
eral belief that the mine is about
played out.
On the other hand. there is an opin-
ion in certain quarters that Warnher,
Belt Il Co.. the South African miners,
have become bears in Stratton's for
the purpose of getting control of the
mine at small figure.
Alfred Belt is bent on buying Ameri-
can gold mines. and 1t will not be long
before he has part of his fortune in
vested in the states.

cloak.
There is considerable conflict in the
various reports of the incident. Pri-
vate dispatches differ from the official
kilograms. The former say that the axe
or hatchet, which was sharply ground,
struck n spoke in the hind wheel and
then fell. Another report says the
woman stopped to try to get the axe
again.
