yesterday with shouts of good will for

The hour of the kaiscr's arrival at Pad

their lunch time and see the bright
cavalcade. The kings wish that the
people of the capital should have an OPP
portunity to show their appreciation of
Emperor Williams devotion was only

TO the uninterrupted cheering.

luncheon at Marlborough House included
the king. the kaiser. the Duke of Con-
naught, Prince Christian and the Mar
quis of Lansdowne. secretary of state for

Big Railway Deal,

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-Another rail
road transaction, reaching, it is believed,
much farther in its ultimate results than
any of the deals which have thus far
marked the closing of the old and the be
ginning of the new century, became
known just a few minutes before the
closing of the market yesterday after
noon, when the transfer of the control
of the Southern Pacific company into
the hands of a syndicate in which Union
Pacific interests predominate was an
nounced. The transaction completes the
last link necessary for the establishment
of transcontinental railroad under Il
single control. This control is at pres
ent vested in Il. ii. Hartman. The
new route includes the following lines.
in all of which except the Southern Pa
cifc Mr.. Hartman is officially connected:
Starting at San Francisco, running over
the Central Pacific and the Southern
Pacific direct to Ogden, thence, first over
the Union Pacific to Kansas City and
thence over the Chicago and Alton to
Chicago, or, second, over the Union Pa
ciic to Omaha and thence over the Du-
buque and Sioux City branch of the Hi
nois Central direct to Chicago, where
the Baltimore and Ohio connects direct
to the Atlantic seaboard.

Mrs Nation Wrecks Another
Saloon In Topeka.
KEEPER OF THE JOINT" ARRESTED.
Mrs. Nation Taken to the Police sta
tion, but liz Immediately Re-
Ieascd-Grent Rush For
Souvenirs.

TOPEKA, Feb. 6.-NIrs. Carrie Ma
tion and three followers yesterday
wrought damage to the extent of 81 800
In the Senate" the finest equipped
Joint" in Topeka. She did more, for
she gained the first police protection Civ
en- her since she started out on her sa-
loon smashing career at Wichita month
ago. The police followed up her raid of
yesterday and arrested the proprietor of
the Senate" and two men who were
guarding the place. Mrs. Nation was
arrested, but promptly released.
Mrs. Nation and her wreckers, each
armed with Il hatchet, sailed forth at
daybreak. They forced their way past
negro who guarded the door of the
Senate" and in less than ten minutes
had strewn the floor with broken mir
rors, bottles, slot machines and splinter
cd bar fixtures. The negro fired Il shot
of warning into the ceiling, but it had
no effect. Presently policeman stalked
leisurely into the room and said. "Well.
Sister Nation, l guess we'll have to ar
rest you again"
Mis-. Nation had just smashed the last
bottle and was ready to go.
"All right" she responded cheerily;
you came just when | wanted you to-"
She turned back as She reached the
door and inquired, Everything cleaned
up, ladiesT
The police judge was glad to release
her when she appeared for trial and ad-
ministered rehukc to that official. Mrs.
Nation soon walked down Kansas ave-
nue. free again.
During the afternoon two deputies
from Sheriff Cookies Office arrested Wag-
ner, Shep Little and two guards and took
charge of the stock of liquors.
Later Chief of Police Stahl, in an in
tervicw with a reporter, said
II do not care if Mrs. Nation smashes
every joint in Topeka. | sympathize
with her. ! hope she will close up the
saloons of the city. AS an officer of the
law, though. ii is my duty to arrest her
every time she creates disturbance or
destroys property. If we had the right
kind of state officers, it would not be
necessary for Mrs. Nation to do what she
il DOING
After Mrs. Nation and her followers
had departed from the wrecked Senate"
and the place had been rcopened for bust
ness by the proprietor the crowd in the
saloon soon became so large that it re-
quired four bartenders to wait on them.
BY 8 o'clock the crowd numbered near
ly 200, and from the time the police raid
ed the place it fluctuated between 200
and go. Among those present were ad-
vOcates of temperance who wished to see
the work of the crusaders. The crowd
around the bar demanded souvenirs, and
the bartenders gathered up bits of glass
from the broken mirror, giving away a
small piece with every glass of beer a
man stationed himself at the front door
and cried, Souvenirs with each and. ev-
cry glass of beer" Those who did not
drink begged for souvenirs. Small pieces
of glass sold for cents.
