SHOWS FIGHT.
Hartman Will Contest Govern

Will Not Surrender Control of
Southern and Union Pacific.

New York. Feb. 6.-The Times today
says it was learned in bankers quar-
ters yesterday that the controlled ir-
terests in the Union Pacific are pre-
pared for a recommendation by the in
terstate commerce commission. after
the completion of it's hearings in this
city, that proceedings be taken to di-
vorce the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific properties. It was also learned
that the results of such an outcome
have been thoroughly canvassed by
those in charge of Union Pacific affafls
and arrangements made to meet this
contingency.
Any legal proceedings brought by the
government to compel the Union Pa
cific to sell the 10000, 600 of Southern
Pacific stock held by it, will be con-
tested up to the supreme court and no
expense will be spared.
While the case differs from that of
the Northern Securities company and
other similar cases, in that the Union
Pacific does not hold a majority of
$240, ,000, 900 of Southern Pacific common
and preferred stock. and may not end
in an adverse decision, yet Union Pa

NO LONGER COLD.
Mercury Is on the Up Grade Once
More.

Judging from the indications today
the cold spell which has been visiting
Topeka for several days has been
broken. The lowest temperature dur
ing the last twenty-four hours was at
midnight last night when the thermom-
eter got as low as zero. However, from
that time it began to warm up and at
o'clock this morning the mercury had
risen to eight degrees.
The rise in temperature which was
brought about was due to the change
in the wind which occurred at 1 o'clock
this morning. The wind at that time
shifted from the north TO the northeast.
At o'clock this morning it took an
other shift to the southeast and at Z
o'clock the good work was completed
by the wind getting directly in the
south.
BY two o'clock this afternoon the
thermometer rose as high as 81 degrees
which is the maximum for this week.
The wind today is eight miles an hour
from the south. The forecast for to-
morrow calls for weather about the
same as today.
The following are the temperatures

HUMILIATINo FATE OF MANY OF
THE RACING YACHTS.
Puritan Goes to the Junk Dealer--The
Pioneer America, First Winner Of
the Cup, Still Afloat.

OF the famous big yachts which
have been built to defend the Ameri-
cas- cup, some have gone to the scrap
heap and nothing is left of them but
the hull, some are used as party
boats; some have brush with their
sister yachts now and then, and some
are laid up at piers, dismantled, out
of commission and useless. The &C
tive life of the defenders of the Amer
ica's cup is not long, but their old age
seems everlasting, and they will all
seem comparatively young as long as
the famous clipper schooner, the pion-
eer, America, swings to the tide at
the Chelsea bridge, Boston, still the
admiration of all who look at her.
Fittingly enough, her history since
she won the cup, in 1851, has been
more stirring than that of her sis
ters.
Every challenge for the famous cup
which she won and brought to this
country but revives the story of the
famous yacht. When the news Of the
victory OF the America reached this
country, about two weeks after the
event, a celebration was in progress at
the state house which marked the
opening of railway communication be-
tween the United States and the Can
adam provinces, and Daniel Webster
was addressing large audience in
the house of representatives. He
broke off in his speech to announce
the victory, and said: Like Jupiter
among the gods, America is first, and
there is no second"
The America had a checkered ca
reer after sailing to this country, and
came very near being destroyed. She
was sold in the same year in which
she won the cup to Lord John de Bla
quiere, an officer in the Indian army
He sold her couple of years later
to Lord Templeton, who laid her w
at Cowes in 1854, where she remained
until 1859. When hauled out that
year it was found that dry rot had sci
in, and she would have fallen apart
and ended her career then, but the
owner of the Northfieet yard, where
she was hauled out. bought her.
To preserve the famous model, he
| gave her new frames of oak and teal
and elm planking. In 1860 she was
sold to H. E. Decie, who named hel
Camilla. In April, 1851, she was pur
chased by man at Savannah ant
fitted out as a dispatch boat ant
blockade runner for the confederacy
and named the Memphis.
She was put up at auction in 1870
and Gen. Benjamin F. Butler bought
her through friend, Col. Jonas H
French, for $4,000. She is still in the

And Adele Baccarini, who held that
position until the other day, is look
ing for another mistress. And there
by hangs this story
The queen mother, though In many
matters woman of simple and de-
cidedly democratic tastes, has always
dressed as befitted a queen. Her ward.
robe Is extensive and costly. OF
course, she keeps pace with the fash
ions, never has her dresses made over;
and discards them for new ones on the
slightest signs of wear and tear.
Though no longer fit for q queen,
these cast-off gowns, hats and bonnets
are quite fit for less exalted feminine
folk. In the estimation of some of
these, more especially American wom-
en-, the fact that they have been worn
by royalty bestows on them a value
far beyond that of ordinary second
hand clothing.
Some six years ago, Queen Mar
gherita had favorite maid, Teresa,
whom she trusted implicitly. One day
while out shopping, the queen saw a
woman enter the store wearing dress
which appeared to the queen singular
ly familiar. She continued her scru-
tiny, despite the obvious embarrass-
ment of the stranger, until her eyes
lit on tiny spot on the hem of the
skirt That removed the last vestige
Of doubt in her mind as to the dress.
It was one which she had herself worn,
and which she had discarded only a
few days before on account of that
blemish
Then she returned to the palace and
started an investigation. AS q result,
Teresa was bounced, for Teresa, 1t
turned out, had been in the habit of
selling her "perquisites," as she
called them, to whomsoever would
pay most for them.
Teresa had several successors, who
lasted only brief while, until Adele
Baccafini was given the position. In
her the queen congratulated herself
that she had at last found the perfect
maid. She did not again see another
woman wearing dress which she rec
ognized as having once been her
own.
But week or 30 ago, Queen Mar
gherita was driving in the Via Tritoni
when, during a block in the traffic

ANCIENT BUILDING BEING RE
STORED BY THE FRENCH.
Was Built by the Athenlans Out OF
the Spells of the Famous
Battle of Mara
thon

The French are engaged in restoring
the ancient treasury of the Athenians
at Delphi which Pausanias, the Greek
traveller, declares was built out of the
spous of the battle of Marathon. The
precincts of the temple Of Apollo at
Delphi, the great theater and the
stadium, were excavated by French
archaeologists in 1S92-1S97, and the
French school at Athens had published
some splendid plates Of the results.
One of the most interesting of the dis
the Athenians of which Pausanias
speaks, and the site of the Portico, not
far from 1t.
Mr.. ]. G. Frazer, in his edition Of
Pausanias, has the following interest
ing remarks upon that building, which,
as our picture shows, Is now being re-
erected by the French:
THE remains of this treasury were
excavated by the French in 1893 and
1894. The building, about 80 feet 10
inches long from east to west, by 10
feet inches broad from north to
south, occupied a terrace higher up
than the Sicynian and Siphnian treas
uries on the north side of the Sacred
way. Apparently the edifice (the
treasury of the Athenians) was over
thrown by an earthquake and crushed
by the weight of materials which rolled
down on it from the temple above. But
the foundations exist, and the architec-
tural members and sculptured decora-
tons have been found almost entire.
Some of the architectural pieces re-
tain vivid traces of color. With the
exception OF single step, which is
made of reddish limestone, the whole
edifice is constructed of Pentelic or
Parian marble in the most exact and

GATEWAY OF ANCIENT CHINA.
Old Mud Fort With Heaps Of Small
Stones for Use Of Defenders.

Chia-yu-Kuan has for centuries been
the spot where merchants, as we'll AZ
embassies from the West, have been
forced to await the permission OF the
mighty emperors Of Cathay before en-
terlng China. AS such, and from its
remote sltuation-remcte, that Is, so
far as Europeans are concerned-this
frontier post has long enjoyed halo
of romance In Chinese eyes. In real
ity 1t is a mud brick fort, far inferior
to such places as are to be seen at
Lahore and other Indian cantonments
long ago given up, except as mere
quarters.
The walls at Chia-yu-Kuan enclose
an area some 100 to $50 yards square
On the north and south sides these
are double the outer, being 20 feet
high and four to six feet thick. East
and west there are double gates of
solid aspect, and the inner wall is SO
to 40 feet high all around. From out
side the fort has, to the Oriental eye,
an imposing appearance, which the in
side does its best to atone for Here
is to be seen a collection of dirty
mud novels, with one official residence
of the poorest kind. Along the wall
runs narrow parapet, some four
feet from the summit, but, owing to
its height, unapproachable from below,
| except in two or three places.
From the point of view of modern
defense the whole position is pitiable.
| Guns there are none, the garrison
consists of half score withered old
men Of the usual Chinese type and
these are the proud possessors OF
wooden jingalls. Having said so much

Mischief was the second metal boat
built in this country and the first Of
the kind to defend the cup. She was
made of iron from designs by A. Cary

Spitzberuen.

For the first time learned, from an
eyewitness, something about Spitzber-
gen, that desert Arctic island, 500
miles north of the North Cape of Nor
way and within 700 miles of the north
pole; frost-desolated land, where the
grass grows longer than the trees,
and huge glaciers in the -bridged
valleys amid the jagged mountains
move majestically down into the sea,
until mighty icebergs, a monstrous
birth, break off and rise to the surface
amid thunderous reports-once the
only sound that broke the profound
silence of those awful solitudes.
Spitzbergen is the only spot of earth
that is positively known as No Mans
Land; 1t is the possession of no coun-
try, and has nothing even resembling
a specified government. The igland
seems likely to remain No Mans Land,
though 1t is said that an effort has
been made by Norway to establish
some sort OF protectorate over it,

identity of the building there can be
no doubt, for, engraved on the walls

Moreover, remains of the dedicatory
inscription can still be read on one of

scription, mutilated as it is, sufflces to
confirm Pausanias' statement that the
treasury was built out of the spoils of
the battle of Marathon. The walls of
the building, Mr.. Frazer goes on to
say, as high up as the architraves,
were covered with inscriptions, most
ly Attic or relating to Athenians. BY
comparing the inscriptions it has been
found possible to determine the order
of the courses of masonry; in this way
the antae have been restored from top
to bottom, and give the height of the
edifice.
A frieze of triglyphs and sculptured
metopes extended round all four sides
of the building. The metopes, 80 in
number, have been found almost en-
tire. The metopes are sculptured with
the battles of the gods and the giants,
and the deeds of Hercules and Theseus.
The French Archaeological Homone,
who was the director of the excava-
tions, says: Il know no monuments
among the works of the beginning OF
the fifth century B. c. of which the
execution is more sharp, delicate and
elegant. The sculptures have the
same qualities of grace and precision.
The archaic severity is tempered by
a softness of modelling rare in works
of this date, and by certain richness
that both surprises and charms u.s."
M. Homolle assigns the date of this
treasury, which after long centuries
is now again rising on the sacred rock
of Delphi, to between 400 and $50 B.
