That Commissioners

Chicago, May 24.-CSpeciaD D- A
dispatch soday from Washington to
the Tribune states that great big
surprise is in store for the American
people who have believed as a result
of the Roosevelt derunciations of
Hartman, that the interstate COM
merce commission would recommend
the attorney general to take steps to
prosecute Hartman and his assoclat-
es and break up the illegal railroad
combine.
1t is reported on the highest au-
thority that conference has been
held at the White house with the Re
publican leaders present and that at
this meeting 1t was announced that
the leading members of the interstate
commerce commission would report
that they were unable to find that
Hartman had violated the Sherman
antitrust laws or any other commerce
laws.
The commission believes he and his
associates guilty of many evils that
can only be reached by new and spec
ial legislation.

PROMOTERS OF RAILWAY
WITHDRAW APPLICATION
In No Hurry to Obtain
Franchise to Enter the
City of Fresno
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

FRESNO, June I'm an unofficial
statement, Attorney Frank H. Short,
representing the Monterey, Fresno and
Eastern railroad. announced this after
noon that the application for a fran
chise for F street in this city prob
ably would be withdrawn. The reason
Is said to be the excessive demands for
damages by property owners on this
street. The property owners recently
banded together and decided to ask for
not less than so per cent under any
circumstances.
II the franchise is withdrawn 1t will
be done without prejudice" said Short,
lin order that the way will not be
blocked for future applications"
He said that as far as he was In
formed the road would be rebuilt.
The general belief here is that the
directors of the proposed road are
merely promoters without capital and
that they have not obtained sufficient
backing for their project The demands
of the property owners is considered a
weak excuse for at least the partial
abandonment of the project Attorney
Short said that the plans for the road
were uncertain and that, as the date
of entering Fresno had been postponed,
there would be no hurry In asking for
another franchise.

CHINESE REBELS MAY
STORM LARGE CITY
Staying of 600 Men Fails
to Check Activity Of
Insurgent Forces

Annoy, China, June Although the
rebels were defeated yesterday with the
loss of 500 men, the government troops
did not succeed in dispensing them, and
they are rapidly. recruiting their forces
and threatening to attack Changchow,
one of the largest cities In China. The
United States gunboat Helena is here.
The center of the uprising is at Juan,
SO miles southwest of Annoy. The po-
lice there arrested the leaders of an Or
ganization known as the White Fans,
charging them falsely with being
pirates. The prisoners escaped. col
lected their followers and held and
killed the president and other officers
and held a magistrate as hostage.
Emboldened by this success, thousands
of rebels gathered and threatened
Chaochowfu. Troops were hurried
from Canton and Fuchow and engaged
the rebels yesterday between Swatow
and Annoy, with the result tnat 600 of
the latter were killed. The government
loss is unknown.

Sharp's trial lasted for weeks. 1t re-

talesmen being examined before this
convicted on June 29, 1887, and few
days later was sentenced to four years
imprisonment and a fine of $4,000. His
lawyers then for months resorted 10
all of the tricks known to delay exc
cution Of sentence. Finally the court
of appeals reversed the decision of the
lower court in which Sharp had been
convicted. The prosecution was en-
gagged in a tardy effort to try him
anew, when Sharps death on April g.
1888. terminated the case. The strain
incident to his trial and conviction had
undermined his health and he died of
heart failure
Sharp was a rich man and left for
tunes to bis children. He had farm
of 1900 acres near Rome, N. Y.
Sharp's character was a dual one. He
was a sort of Jekyl and Hyde. To all
outward appearances he was a devout
church member and every Sunday went
TO hear the Rev. DR.. Armitage preach.
He also belonged to the Blossom club
frequented by politicians, and spent
many a pleasant evening playing cards
with Boss Tweed, who subsequently
died in the penitentiary.
