As the formality Of communicating with

Great Britain has not yet replied
the circular OF the United States govern

the proposal If the other powers will also
agree. but the impression prevails In
London that the other European powers

British officials generally are disheart

BIG RAILWAY DEAL.
New Jersey Central and LehiGh VAL
ley Bought by Morgan Syndicate.

ley Bought by Morgan Syndicate.
NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Just at the clos.
OF the market on Saturday Wall street
received the startling news that J. Pier.
pont Morgan had bought the Central
Railroad of New Jersey and sold it to
the Reading railroad. When the market
opened this morning, it was confronted
with the additional news that Mr.. Nor.
gan had secured the controlling interest
in the Lehigh Valley also, and this inter.
est will probably be offered to the Read
ing at the meeting Of the directors which
has been called to complete officially the
purchase and arrange for the formal
transfer Of the Jersey Central stock to its
new owners.
Thus the two long strides which bring
the Morgan following into practically
complete control Of the coal carrying rail
way situation in the east have been made
In quick succession.
Other probabilities Of the not distant
future are an alliance between the On
tario and Western and the Delaware and
Hudson. The Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Is also regarded By some as
game for Mr.. Morgan's basket. 1t is
controlled by Vanderbilt and First Ma
tional bank interests, which are both ia.
vorable to him.
The Lehigh Valley railroads main
line extends from Jersey City 442 miles
to Buffalo. It's branches and subsidiary
lines bring the total mileage up to .,178.
1t owns 3,619 acres Of coal land and all
the stock of the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company, which holds in fee or under:
leases about $4,000 acres Of coal lands
and collieries with total daily capacity
of 10000 tons.

ROCHESTER,, Jan. 9.-Twenty- eight

Rochester Orphan asylum. or the dead
~ were children of both sexes, ranging
in age from 2 to IA years, while the re-
naming two were adults. The fire, which
was discovered at 1:10 a. IN. and was
doubtless caused by an explosion of nat
ural gas in the boiler room, adjoining the
west wing Of the asylum, spread so rap
idly that many of the 100 inmates OF the
institution were overcome by the flames
and smoke almost without warning.
The fire started In the furnace room
and was followed by an explosion of gas.
This caused the fire to spread rapidly,
and in few minutes the two west wings
were in flames.
When the firemen who responded to a
general alarm arrived, the inmates were
jumping from the windows and the at

AT THE RISK of being considere,

AT THE RISK Of being considered
egotistical, the UNION hazards this
statement: 1t must be apparent to
every candid observer that two of the

lacking in true patriotism and brainy
craftsmanship, Judged by the bloody,
expensive, and prolonged wars both
are carrying on-the one IN South
Africa, the other in the Philippines.
Concerning the subjugation of the
Filipinos, the administration senator,
sewcli of New Jersey, said in the SEN
ate Il few days ago:
at will take several years more
with large army to suppress the
insurrection.
Senator Hawley of Connecticut,
Chairman of the committee on mill

large army from five to ten years to
overcome these people.

staunch republican, says; can in

ALfIsKD PACKER.

In 1873 ALFRED PACKER YVES
guide to party OF five prospectoI
on the way TO the San'Juan country.
1t was winter time. The party be-
came lost and bewildered. They
then started for the Los Pinos Indian
Agency. Starvation waa staring
them in the face. Packer went on
in advance, but failed to reach the
agency. When he returned he says
he found four of the men dead
killed by one of their number named
Bell, who was then raving maniac,
and who attacked Packer and was
killed by him.
Packer was then the only survivor
of the party. He was starving. He
did eat the flesh of his late comrades
to preserve his own life, and made
his way out Of the snow-coveled
mountains and saved his own life.
Nine years afterward he was prose-
cuted for killing all his comrades.
The jury thought him guilty and so
found. Packer was first sentenced to
be hung; but was afterward put in
prison for 40 years. More than II
years were served ut Canon City.
The Denver Post for two years has
been making efforts to obtain n par
don. The indomitable Polly Pry has
been tho chief instrument in this
erraud Of mercy. Her labors are at
last rewarded
The last official act of the late
Governor, G. S. Thomas, was to grant
Packer-now an old man in feeble
health--a parole under the new law.
There has always been some doubt
as to Packers guilt, and considering
the terrible weather, starvation of the
men, and their long distance from
settlements, the case must necessarily
be shrouded in more or less doubt
and mystery.
And anyway, has not the old pris-
oner suffered enough? All honor to
Polly Pry, The Denver Post and
Governor Thomas The old man
has little freedom at the end of his
lie.

The other two, about the tobacco
