APRIL FOOL JOKE.

No Truth in the Runner of big
Railroad Combinations.
New York, April z. ~ There is no
truth in the report that ]. p. Morgan,
William K. Vanderbilt, James J. Hill,
Edward II. Hartman, George J.Gould,
John D. Rockefeller, Jacob Fl. Schiff
and James Stillman are planning the
formation of a New Jersey corporation
to take over the control Of the stocks
of the Burlington, Northern Pacific,
Erie and Great Northern roads, nor is
there any truth in the further report
that this relatively insignificant trans
action is the precursor of plan to
bring all the railway systems of the
country under one control. Two Of
the interests mentioned above reported
the rumor as preposterous. Some OF
the others refuse to discuss it at all
on the ground that it was simply a
wild hoax, put out on all FOOLS day in
New Jersey, and was a trifle belated
in reaching this city.

THE PANAMA sc1lI,ME.

Fiji and Lamont said 10 Have
Talked to Mckinley, About 1t. &
d Washington, April flames J. Hill,
president Of the Great Northern, and
Daniel Lamont. vice president Of the
Northern Pacific, who are. associated
with. Mr. Morgan in the latter's scheme
to purchase the rights OF the French
Panama Canal company and finish
that ditch with capital furnished by an
American syndicate. called on Presi-
dent Mckinley yesterday afternoon.
The ostensible purpose of the visit Of
these two railway presidents was to
consult the chief executive about the
details of his trip across the continent
from the Pacific coast via their respec-,
tive lines. If the subject Of building
the canal with American capital was
taken up neither Mr.. Fill, Mr.. La
mont or anybody in authority to speak
for the president would talk about it..
Inasmuch, however, as the original
story about the intention Of Messrs.
Mill, Lamont and Morgan to call on
the president in regard to the canal
fixed the time of their visit Thursday,
it is believed that the subject was dis
cussed at some length.

st. Louis, April q. A remarkable
thing occurred at the city hospital
last night while the surgeons were
operating upon Mrs. Ida knight Of
651 School street. While under the in
fluence of chloroform and while the
surgeons knife was busy in an opera
ton for tumor, she suddenly began
to whistle, although to all practical
purposes she was thoroughly under
the influence of the anaesthetic. She
whistled the 'Miserere" from s'1l
Trovatore'' distinctly and without a
flaw, and at the completion Of the
tune became quiet. At intervals dur
ing the operation she would whistle
sketches from the opera. After re-
gaining consciousness she said that
she could not remember having
thought of the opera or anything while
under the influence of the chloroform.

Mcdonald, Kan, April z. ~ Another
terrific blizzard has been experienced
In Northwestern Kansas and has in.
creased the suffering in the towns
along the lines of the Burlington &
Missouri river railway. The storm
started at o'clock Thursday night
and lasted ten hours. Burlington train
No. III, with twelve days mail, ex.
press and freight for the beleaguered
towns of Bird City and st. Francis,
was caught half a mile east Of here
and every effort to bring in the train
has proven futile. Burlington officials
ordered a snow pillow with double
header that had already reached ST.
Francis, to turn back and relieve the
train. The pillow had gone but a short
distance when it was stalled and the
train is still in a drift 600 feet long
and four to five feet deep. The train
just missed being caught in the Blake
man cut, which Is seventy feet deep,
and If it had been stalled there the
entire train would doubtless have been
completely buried in snow. Much suf-
fering exists at half the small towns
within a radius of forty miles, many
of the people having been short of fuel
and provisions for twelve days.

Shipment Held Back in Cuba Until
Export Duty Was Abolished.
New York, April 1.-THE Ward line,
steamer Mexico has arrived from Ha-
vana, where she was detained for
more than two days beyond her usual
sailing day in order to take the earli-
est advantage of the new law abol-
fishing the export duty on tobacco and
cigars. Very little tobacco or cigars
were shipped from Cuba during the
month of March, shippers holding
back for April 1, when the export duty
was taken off. The Mexico. the first
ship from Havana on April l, was
loaded to her fullest capacity, and
brought 1884 bales of tobacco and
1,190 cases of cigars, and cigarettes,
said to be the largest cargo brought
by any one steamer from Havana to
this port.

Detroit, April Z. One Of the two
large plants of the American radiator
comranN located outside Of the city
limits on Joseph Campau avenue, was
almost completely destroyed by fire
which started shortly after 9 o'clock

Of the company, estimated the loss at

This Information has been comnunf-
Gated to the state department by, the
!; Russian government. The communi-
cation rs in line with the verbal assur-
ances Of Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador, a week ago. It is a
friendly response to the note OF Secre-
tary Hay to the Chinese government
on March in which he warned that
government against entering into indi-
vidual treaties with single powers
while negotiations are pending for o.
general understanding with all the
powers A copy Of that note to China
was sent to Ambassador Tower at St.
Petersburg to acquaint the Russian
|; government with the attitude of this
government, as it was sent to other
American ambassadors in Europe to
lay before the governments to which
they are accredited. Russia was not
called upon to reply to the note, as
it was not addressed to that govern
ament, but Russia is anxious to, con.

since they have been more nearly in
harmony in regard to China than
either has been with the other powers.
Russia has explained in detail and Of
ficially her position on the whole ques-
ton. This explanation is satisfactory
to the Washington government. It
shows that the attitude of Russia to-
ward Manchuria has been misrepre-
scented by some one or is now being
misrepresented by Russia herself in an
official communication to the United
States government which is not re-
garded as probable. It also shows that
Russia has gone beyond the strict
rules Of diplomatic intercourse to ex-
plain her position to friendly power
and prevent the slightest. break
through misunderstanding The efforts
of England to place Russia in false
position have failed and the two great
powers opposed to permanent garri-
sons in China will continue to act to-
gether at Pekin for settlement that
will bring about the early evacuation
of China by all the powers. 1t is be-
lieved here that this attitude. of Rus
STA will tend to harmonic differences
at Pekin and hasten a settlement.
Japanese demonstrates.
London, April. IA dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Yokohama says that
Russia's reply to the Japanese note
anent the secret Manchurian treaty Is
regarded as satisfactory. The gov
eminent decided, after cNference
with the heads of the army, navy,
finance and foreign departments, to
address a second and more peremptory
remonstrance, and demand for reply
in a stated period. This note, which
has been forwarded to the Japanese
minister at ST. Petersburg, almost
amounts to an ultimatum.
