The Crowley Signal makes the
following remarks.
A large delegation of Crowley
ties accompanied the base ball team
to New iberia Sunday to see the
game played between the champions
Of Southwest Louisiana and the
boys of the City by the Teche.
A crowd of several thousand
people witnessed the game, which
consisted of only seven innings and
was played on a diamond covered
with grass. Crowley won the game
and didn't half try. 1t was the same
old story-the New Iberia boys
were out classed-and at no time
did they even make the game inter-
estlng. Zehner, who was in the box
for the locals, "took day Off and
didn't try to pitcn after the third
inning, but just the same New
Iberia only succeeded in getting
four hits off of him.
Although the diamond was In a
misera BILE condition, not a costly
error can be credited to Crowley.
The New Iberia boys are all gen.
tlemen In every sense OF the word
and know how to treat and enter
tain their visitors, and 1t is to be
hoped that Crowley will have an
opportunity of reciprocating for
the attention shown by return
game from them in the near future.

Contrary to general belief Tur-
key refuses toyield to the demands
of France and it now looks like the
Eastern Turkey has called the
bluff of the Rooster. Turkey is no
mean antagonist as Greece found
to her sorrow, and an attempt to
force her demand by France might
prove disastrous. Turkey is not
afraid of France, the reason is, she
fears that in case of war other
nations, like yultures, would swoop
down and dismember her, and that
her fears are well founded is be
yond question.

Quite so much as 'sDid he do ltg"
Which decides that he has won.
Cervera says the person
Who annihilates the foe.
Is the one who does the fighting
And Cervena ought to know.
Cervera says it isn't
All in arguing lot
On the subsequent proceedings,
But in being on the spot.
He says the only victor
Is the one who bravely shows
His ability in fighting
And Cervera surely knows.
Cervera says it isn't
Theoretically right
That the man who does the talking.
Is the one who wins the fight.
Cervera says a battle
Is the surest thing to go
To the one who whips the other
And Cervera ought to know.
Cervera says a winner
Can't be ten miles in the rear,
Where he finds the sound of battle
Very difficult to hear.
He says he knows who did it,
And it's useless to suppose
1t was done by absent treatment
And Cervera surely knows.

A very amusing incident IS re-
lated by the Great Hermann which
occur ed during his performance OF
magic at the Opera House of a
city on his present tour of the
South. II is the magicians great
pride to present several mystlfYlng
tricks on a platform extending in
to the orchestra and surrounded by
Lis..audlence. AS Ii .rrmann Is wont
to say upon such occasions, "Watch
me Closely" the closer you look
less you see. 1t Is the trick of find
ing money IN the air, and in every
conceivable place that set his au-
dience in an uproar upon the present
occasion. An elderly gentleman
was sitting next to the platform
several rows from the stage heartily
amused at the ordinations of as
constituent the mYstified auditors
bestowed upon Hermann as be
brought forth his silver coins. He
had just taken several silver dollars
out of young ladY's programme
when he reached for the elderly
gentleman's head, prepared to pull
out a hand full of silver. To his
surprise, and modification of the
elderly gentleman and the uproar-
ious applause OF the audience, he
not only had his hand filed with
silver, but it also grasped wig,
leaving the elderly gentleman COM
pletely bald. For a moment Herr
mann was stunned, then he quickly
apologized. The gentleman quietly
grasped the wig aud rising from
his seat made for the door. It was
some moments before the laughter
subsidized, and the performance con
tinued. Tx.

motions were made with a view OF
Strengthening matters out, all of which
were finally referred to the committee on
rules and order of business.
The usual scale committee, composed OF
two miners and two operators, was de-
cided on, to be appointed later. The Of
ficers of the United Mine Workers OF
America and the commissioners of Illinois
and Indiana were made members of this
committee, ex-officio. The convention
then took a recess.
Under the rules two sessions are to be
held daily, at 9 a. m. and 2 D. m. An
unanimous vote is required to adopt
matters pertaining to the scale.
The scale committee was announced at
the afternoon session. President Mitchell
then moved that the operators present
their scade. which was carried, and F. L.
Robbins. while stating that the operators
had no scale, offered a resolution that the
scale of last year be reduced 10 cents per
ton with a corresponding reduction in all
other work.
This resolution was lost, and after a
long debate it was referred to the scale
committee. The operators then requested
tina the miners present their proposition.

the miners, outlining their demands, az
follows:
First-An increase of 10 per cent. in the
price of mining and all mine labor.
S~econd-The adoption of a scale on the
run of the mine basis.
Third-A fiat d%ifferential between the
price of machine and pick mining, the
same 20 be uniform throughout the com
petitive district.
Fourth-That all men employed in or
around the mines be required to become
members of the miners organization.
F~ifth-That the dues of the members of
the organization be checked off in the Of
fees of all mines.
President Mitchell argued these points
at some length and declared that the
miners would not be satisfied unless a
uniform and fixed differential had been
adopted. They would not consent, he
said, to a d%ifferential based upon a per-
centage of the price for pick mining of
run-of-mine.
AT the conclusion of President Mitchelfs
address, the conference adjourned to
meet at the call of the scale committee.
a brief session of the scale committee
was held later and organization perfected.
The scale was not discussed and the COM
mittee adjourned until 8 a. m. tomorrow.

cifc have been acquired by the same
interests which purchased the Speyer
stock and the two blocks in connect
ion with recent purchases IN the open
market which have been responsible
for the sharp advance in Southern Pa
cifc securities, have given the pur-
chasers a working control OF the
Southern Pacific Company.
The statement that Union Pacific
Hartman interests predominant in the
syndicate may be made on authority.
The syndicate is composed in the first
place ii the capitalists who have been
behind E.. H. Hartman, including
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who it is, will be re-
called, have very close relations with
the Pennsylvania railroad interests,
and, second, the Rockefeller interests
represented by the National City Bank.
There is good authority for saying
that the Huntington stocks were Sc
cured some weeks ago. The amount
of such holdings is not a matter OF
public knowledge. The total authoriz-
ed stock of the Southern Pacific is
$500, 900, 900, including s67, PA, 200 ex-
changed in 1898 for Central Pacific
stock. The Southern Pacific Company
owns no stock in fee, but principally
through ownership of stock, and part
ly by lease, it operates a great sys-
tenn of roads extending from San Fran
cisco to New Orleans (thence by COM
pany's steamers toNNew York, etc.),
and to Portland, Ore,>;to Ogden, Utah,
with branches.
The Importance of the new deal
grows when viewed in connection with
the acquisition in November last by
the Southern Pacific of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Co., with its immense dis
tributing power on the Pacific coast.
The acquisition of the Southern Pa
cifc is merely another move in the
community of interest policy, which
has already secured such a vast hold
on the railroads of the country. 1t
means the establishment of an all rail
trans-continental railroad governed
directly by this policy. Mr.. Hartman
is president of the Chicago & Alton
railroad. He is also a director in the
Union Pacific, in the Illinois Central,
in the Oregon Railway & Navigation
Co., and in the Oregon Short Line Rail-
road Company.

WOMEN.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, February l.
Fifteen or twenty limitations of Mrs.
Nation got in their work this after
noon at South Sioux City, Neb., a su-
burb of Sioux City, just across the
Missouri river. About twenty women
met at the home of Mrs. VIM. Luther
and accompanied by Captain VIM. Lu-
Their, marshal of the town, and Steve
Gasser, a member of the City Council,
they marched double file down the
street to John Peyson's saloon. The
place was locked and Captain Luther
kicked in the front door. Mrs. c. P.
Dow sailed after a slot machine and
then all the women set about carrying
out the furniture and everything they
could lay hands on depositing it in the
street. No whiskey was found.
Mrs. John A. Davis climbed Up a
ladder and knocked a brewing COM
pany's sign off the building. She also
painted the word Saloon over with
white paint.
The crowd then moved towards John
Blenkiron's building, in which George
zimmerman is said to keep a gambling
joint. Blenkiron announced that if
anyone went into his building it would
be over his dead body. The women
decided not to try.
While the women were raiding the
saloon a crowd of men, non-sympa-
thizers, stood on the sidewalk nearby
and sang derisively: Nearer, My God
to Thee.
The women say they are not
through.

INTERESTS PASS TO THE

THE BIGGEST RAILROAD DEAL
OF ALL THAT HAVE MARKED THE
OPENING OF THE GEN.
TURY.

NEW YORK, February Another
railroad transaction, reaching, it is
believed, much further in it's ultimate
results than any of the deals which
have thus far marked the closing of
the old and the beginning of the new
century, became known just a few min
utes before the closing of the market
this afternoon, when the transfer of
the control of the Southern Pacific
Company into the hands of a syndicate
in which the Union Pacific interests
predominant, was announced. The
transaction completes the last link nee
.essary for the establishment of a trans
continental railroad under a single con-
troll. This control is at present vest
ed in Z. H. Hartman. The new route
includes the following lines, in all of
which, except the Southern Pacific, MI.
Hartman is officially connected.
Starting at San Francisco, running
over the Central Pacific end of the
Southern Pacific direct to Ogden,
thence, first, over the Union Pacific
to Kansas City and thence over the
Chicago & Alton over the Dubuque and
Sioux City branch of the Illinois Cen
trail direct to Chicago, where the Bal
timore & Chic connects direct to the
AtchisOn seabOard.
The control Of the Southern Pacific,
just transferred, includes the large
holdings controlled by Speyer & Co,
and also the Huntington holdings. The
price secured for these holdings is not
known.
Mr.. James Speyer, when questioned
would make only the following concise
statement:

KANSAS SALOON PROPERTY.
The Question Whether it is Entitled
to BE Protected, to BE Decided.

The question whether it is Entitled
to BE Protected, to De Decided.
WICHITA, Kans., February 1.-The
question as to whether property used
as a saloon in Kansas is entitled to
the protection of law is now squarely
before the courts and will be decided
some time next month. A few weeks
ago Mrs. Sheriff, the N who led
the destructive raid at Anthony on
Wednesday, smashed a saloon at DAN
Vile, Harper county. Frank Osborne,
the owner of the building, has now
brought suit against her in the dis
trict court Tor damages.
Mrs. Sheriff is in good financial cir
cum5tances and has employed the
ablest talent to fight the case. She
hopes to be able to get what the w.
c. I. U. of Kansas say they are seek
ing-a decision from the Supreme
Court that saloon property is not en-
titled to the protection of the law.
The case will be watched with inter
est; for if such a decision shall be
made, the prohibitory law will be in
vested with a terror for saloon men.
The case is before Judge Preston Gil
lette and will be tried at Kingman.
