RUSSIAN OFFICER
 PREDICTS A WAR
Says Nothing Short of Miracu- lous Can Prevent Russia
 and Japan Fighting.

Chicago, January 1S.-"War between Rus sia and Japan is looked upon as inevitable by the naval officers of these countries who have been nearest the probable scene of the future operations" said Lieutenant w. Romannoff, of the Imperial Russian na- ", who arrived in Chicago roday The lieutenant has just completed a three years cruise in Asiatic waters, and is on his way to St. Petersburg.
 He continued: Just how soon such a war may begin 1t is difficult to say but events little short of miraculous must oc- cur to avoid it. The Japanese are build ing warships as rapidly as possible in an- ticipation of the outbreak of (hostiities, and Russia is strengthening her navy as fast as she can. That Russia must have naval base between Port Arthur and Vladivostock is conceded, and that she will try to get one in Corea is certain
 "1n the event of such a war, it is con sidered probable in Russian naval circles that Russia will have the aid of Germany, and that England will take the other side. European war will follow the outbreak of hostilities between Russia and Japan
 "The movement of Russian troops toward the Afghanistan and British India borders, the mobilization of trans-Caspian troops at Bakuesherat and other military maneu- verings on the part of Russia are taken by official Russia to mean tine beginning of movement to eliminate English influence in territory heretofore held by her beein ming at Kabul. It is certain that England will have to fight to retain her territory in the east"

Notwithstanding tn so-called prosperous condition Of the country. there was serious money panic in New York, which forced the secretary of the treasury to purchase about $22, ,OO0.- 900 of United States bonds; in addition to that the secretary had put into national banks throghout the country about s12O,- 000,0O0 to maintain the financial equilib- rum.
 Mir. Chandler, of New Hampshire, inter- rupted Mir. Teller to say that one question which tended to make the adoption or re- jection of the pending bill moral ques- tion was the probable destruction of val ues in silver using countries.
 q have never said," continued Mir. Chandler, much about the crime of 1873, : because have been inclined to think the denomination of silver then was aeciden- tai and not intentional; but the value of silver hoards in the Oriental silver coun- tries was a crime and an offense against morality"
 Without completing his remarks Mir. Tel Ter suspended for the day. The senate then, at 4:55, went into executive session, and at 515 adjourned.

PASSENGER POOL
 WILL BE FORMED Railroads Figuring on a Gigantic
 Combination. EASTERN ROADS WILLING Committee Has Been Formed to Bring the Western Companies Into the
 Scheme-Magnates Believe it is Not Unlawful
EASTERN ROADS WILLING

Chicago, January 1S.-The Tribune to- morrow will say:
 In order to carry out their anti-commer- cial agreement, it is now proposed to com bine all the railroads in the country in a big passenger pool and operate it in such a way that each road will get an agreed percentage of the earnings. By such ac- tion no possible profit can accrue to any of the roads from ignoring the agreement Each road is to be allowed to carry all the passengers it can secure, but any road that should manage to get more than it's allotted proportion would have its labor for it's pains. as the profits would go to the conn peting roads which have failed to carry their proportion of the business.
 The eastern roads have all voted in favor of this scheme and a committee of western railroad officials is now at work to get the western lines into the combine.
 This is composed of s. M. Felton, presi- dent of the Chicago and Alton; Paul Nor ton, vlce-president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe; J. M. Hannaford, vice-pres- ident of the Northern Pacific; J. T. Hara- han, vice-president of the Illinois Central, and J. Ramsey, Jr., general manager of the Wabash
 The road magnets don't admit that the formation and maintenance of passenger pool would constitute a violation of the laws. It has always been a contention Of the railroads that the section of the inter- state commerce act forbidding pools re- lates only to freight traffic and does not affect passenger business in any way, and It now seems that they will fight it out on this presumption

Boy Burglars

Shepherds grocery store, at Park avenue and Nineteenth street, was burgarized this morning about 12:s0 o'clock by two negro boys who entered the store by smashing the plate glass front. A small amount of cash was in the cash drawer and this the bur- glors secured. Nothing else was missing Several parties sleeping over the store were awakened by the noise of the breaking glass and rushed down stairs to investigate. They got to the front door of the store in time to fire a few shots at the two boys who had taken to their heels

A Hot Old Time

At O'Brien's opera house tonight "A Hot Old Time" will be the bill Johnny and Emma Ray have proven themselves adepts in the art of entertaining the public, as proven by their success in that fun creat- ing comedy "A Hot Old Time"
 The play has been rewritten by George M. Conan. The third act is entirely new. and many new and taking features have elsewhere been added. The piece will be presented here with all the richness and rev. Try which made it known last season with the following talent: The Rays, Johnny and Emma, Quevita Vincent, J. Bernard Dyllyn, Hayes and Healey, Thomas c. Leary, Frank Labor, Emma Francis, Albert Ellis, Minerva Adams, Frank Ainsworth, Adele Morgan Juliette Roslyn, Vernie Ross and Beatrice Rice. These compose one of the merriest and most mirth- provoking ag- gregations of laugh-makers. Past successes with this attraction warrant present hope of perfect cure for all who need medicine of mrth.
 The three acts of "A Hot Old Time" are said to fairly blaze with vocal and terpsl- chorean novelties and unique specialtdes. A new feature of Johnny Rays performance this season is his appearance as the ice man.

Let the local theater managers keep the cross road shows out of their house and managers of first class companies will more readily book their expensive organizations with them, having no cause to doubt the receipts of the house.

EVIDENCE IN THE
 CONTEST CASES
Sharp Colloquy Between Breck- enridge and a Witness.
BOTH CALLED TO ORDER
Many Witnesses Testified For Contest ants in Regard to the Military In reference in the City of Louis-
 vile on Election Day.

Frankfort, Ky, January 1S-The nearing of evidence in the cases of Goebel and Beckham, the democratic contestants for governor and lieutenant governor before the joint committee contest board was com- pleted today and the hearing of evidence for Taylor and Marshall will begin tomor- row. Taylor and Marshall have five days set apart to them, after which Goebel and Beckman will have one day in rebuttal.
 The contest in the case of Taylor and Marshall were tendered today. but the at torneys for the contestants asked and were granted till tomorrow to examine and pre- pare their objections or such other action as they may desire.
 Not more than fifty witnesses testified on the side of the contestants
 The witnesses today were mainly from Louisville, and the principal evidence was the alleged military interference there.
 Among the witnesses from Louisville were John J. Castleman, Sheriff Bell, Chief of Police Hager and other officials
 The feelings between the Goebel and anti Goebel democrats was manifested by some spicy questions and answers between Colon el Breckenridge, counsel for Taylor, and some of the Louisville witnesses who tes- tifled in behalf of Goebel, notably when R. Lee Sutter, member of the board of public safety, was on the stand.
 The sparring between Mc. Sutter and Col onel Breckenridge became highly interest ing, though each kept within the bounds of courtesy.
 The colloquy finally became so sharp, however, that the chairman called both to order.
