Coler. The fact that Tammany Hall
received letter from ex-President
Cleveland was guarded as secret, and
the contents will not be made public
until today. A Tammany leader, how
ever, said yesterday afternoon:
"Cleveland's letter will create a sem
sation. 1t ought 70 aid Colers election.
In it Mr.. Cleveland regrets that he can
not be present, aud callsupo the demo-

Great Britain, and states there is some
anxiety about the high prices which
food stuffs are likely to reach the coming
winter. Hesays: They are thought high
enough now, and the prospect Of still
greater advance is not pleasing in view
of the experience for several years past
of high-priced provisions and dear coal.
This enhancement Of the cost OF living
has not been accompanied by a general
increase in the wage scale or in the num-
Der of possible hours of employment.

THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

Two things on Saturday made the
Southern the most talked-about railroad
in the country. One was the arrival OF
President Samuel Spencer from Europe,
where it was said repeatedly during Mr..
Spencer's absence he was negotiating for
the purchase of several small but impor-
tant roads in Che South, one in particu-
lar that has an entrance to New Orleans.
According to the statements OF men
competent 20 speak for the Southern and
for the Louisville and Nashville, there
has been no suggestion Of any deal what
soever between those roads. One of the
specific reasons for the transfer of con-
troll ofthe L. IN. to the A. G. L. was to
dissociate the Southern and the Louis
vile and Nashville.
The railroad laws of several southern
States would have interfered with even
an implied control OF the Louisville and
Nashville by the Southern, and conse-
quently no Southern Railway interest in
the Louisville road has developed. These
two companies own jointly the Chicago,
indianapolis and Louisville (Monon),
which is not competitor of either road,
being a connection of each and feeder
only.
1t is said on good authority that the
Southern will continue 10 remain inde-
pendent with no alliances that might
transgress the laws of the States in
which its lines are operating. Its rela-
tons with the other railroad systems of
the Southern are to be as harmonious as
the traffic managers Of the different
roads can make them.
A community Of interest such as will
maintain uniform rates and prevent un-
necessary expenditures for rivals
will prevail simply because the owners
of the respective properties believe that
to be the best business policy.
OF course the proposition 10 continue
the voting trust ior five years has given
rise to various rumols as to the future
control of this property. V
1t is suggested that the nearest that
L. and n. stock has come to the South
ern was when the Gates-Hawley stock
was lodged with J. P. Morgan & Co.,
awaiting disposition. On whatever
basis the railroad commission of Ken
tucky may be working in its complaint
to the interstate commissioner, interests
in the Southern are not at all concerned
about the outcome.-[ New York Com

To BE THE FINEST HOTEL IN WORLD.

To Be THE FINEST HOTEL IN WORLD.
Ground was broken this week for the
new Paramount Hotel, which will be
built by Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs and
Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt, jr., on the old
Fair lot, on the summit of Mob Hill.
The Australian gum trees that have
covered the lower part Of the lot for years
are being cut down, and the old Porter
mansion will be removed. Hermann Del
ricbs, who has charge Of the work, ex-
poets to have the hotel ready for guests
in Is months. The cost of the building
will be 81, 600, 900 and the furnishings
are expected to be more gorgeous than
those of the Waldorf-Astoria. in New
York. 1t is Hermann Oelrich's ambi-
ton to make the Paramount the finest
hotel in the world, and certainly, as far
as site and prospect are concerned, it is
unexcelled. The view will embrace San
Francisco on its many hills, the entire
sweep of so miles Of San Francisco har-
Dor, the Golden Gate and the Pacific
ocean as far as the eye can reach and the
mouth of the Sacramento river, with It's
picturesque islands. With a strong
glass from the top of this hotel one
should see clearly Farallon island, 40
miles at sea, and identify steamships
miles away from the coast. Work on
the Crooker hotel, at Geary and Powell
streets, is dragging because of the diff
Guilty of getting structural steel.

NEGROES HANGED BY MoB.-The
mob at Hampstead, Texas, yesterday
afternoon lost patience with the judge
who conducted the trial of Wesley and
of Reddick Barton, the negroes who
confessed to the outrage and murder OF
Mrs. Lewis. At 4:S0 o'clock yesterday
afternoon the Waller county Jail was
invaded by hundreds of men who
secured the two negroes, a1dat D O'Clock
lynched them by hanging. The inten-
ton to burn the negroes alive was
abandoned, and a simple execution by
rope tied to a telegraph pole was IN
fiicted. The negroes had waved all
legal rights in the case against them,
and expressed willingness to be exc
cuted by the law officers at once. The
trial Judge considered that the con
victed men should be given the benefit
of thirty days, provided in the constitu-
ton. The juries that tried Wesley and
Barton each had six negroes on them.
These desired that the convicted men be
turned over to the negro population,
and permit that element to conduct an
immediate hanging. The white citizens,
however, considered it their own prov
ince to do the hanging.

Report that King George Of Ssxany Is Having

(By the Associated Press.)

Berlin, Dec 24-The Lokal Anzeiger
today prints dispatch from Dresden
saying that King George, of Saxony, sent
several of the highest police officials to
Geneva to observe and report on the ae-
tions of the fugitive Grown Princess
Louise One official returned yesterday
by way of Vienna. The others will re-
main at Geneva. A divorce of the Crown
Prince and Crown Princess is regarded
as impossible during the lifetime Of
King George, who entertains stringent
scruples against divorce. The Protestant
clergy hope, however, that Berlin will
bring pressure to bear for a divorce.
The Crown Prince beat the Crown
Princess, according to an editorial state
ment in the Vossische Zeitung, one of
the most careful newspapers published in
Berlin, which adds:
Their disagreements reached this crisis
in June, after Professor Giron became
the children's tutor. The Princess at that
time considered seeking divorce and
consulted her best friend, the Princess
Therese of Bavaria, who dissuaded her.
The Princess however after returning to
Dresden, did not resume marital rela-
tons."

Horrible Situation of Earth

One Section Of Town of Andjan Completely
Destroyed. Everything Possible Being

(By the Associated Press J

st. Petersburg, Dec 24-While full de-
ails of the recent earthquake disaster
at Andiian, Russian Central Asia, are
not obtainable, owing to lack of COM
munication, the brief dispatches received
here describe the situation as horrible.
The temperature has fallen to the freez-
ing point and thousands of persons arc
homeless. One section of the city has
been completely destroyed; only one cot
ton gin and one church are standing
The first shock drove the inhabitants
generally indoors, otherwise the loss of
life would have been much greater.
Andijan is cotton center and exports
forty million pounds of cotton annually.
The population, numbering $4,000 souls,
was growing rapidly. The people, who are
mainly Sarts, were engaged in cotton
raising and ginning. Of twenty gins, 10
have been destroyed. The Sarts are not
like Russians. They are private owners
Of land, but live in cities and towns. The
houses in Andijan are principally one
story high and are built of unburned
brick
The War Department here informs the
correspondent of the Associated Press
that everything possible is being done to
relieve the suffering. Barracks in which
the population will be housed are being
built,
