RUFF is GUILTY.
Graft Trial Ended After Over One
Hundred Days.

San Francisco. Dec. 11.-Abraham
Ruef, former political boss of San
Francisco, was convicted yesterday of
bribery. The verdict was returned
exactly upon the stroke of 4 o'clock.
when the deliberations of the jury
had been prolonged throughout a
period of "a hours. The warnings OF
Judge William p Lawlor and the Wig
lance of the police checked all at
tempted demonstrations, although the
excitement in the courtroom was so
intense that men were thrust down
into their seats or seized in the grasp
of detectives as they arose to obtain
a better view of the proceedings.
The trial, which had been in prog
ress LOG days, ended with surprising
quickness. The day had almost passed
without sign from the chamber of
Carpenters hall. The hopes of Ruef
and his attorneys had risen with every
hour of the delay, and the adherents
OF the prosecution were proportion
ately discouraged.
BY previous agreement of counsel
that the bill of exceptions should be
settled later. the court SET next Sat
urday, December 10, as the day for
judgment. Ruefs con-
viction renders him liable to maxi
mum penalty of IA years in the peni-
tertiary.

DENIES PANAMA CUT RUMoR.
Colonel Goethals Gives Reasons for
Refusing to Widen Culebra.

Panama, Dec. LIT was rumored
IN this city yesterday that Colonel
Cocktails, chairman of the Panama
Canal commission, had given orders
that the Culebra cut be widened but
the Colonel today denied this report.
The reason assigned was that at the
present angle the canal could never be
brought down to the 4o-foot Level
above the sea necessary for a width
OF IS feet. To widen the cut would
mean the excavation of $4,000 ono
more cubic yards. 1t was also de-
clarred that deep crevasses had made
their appearance on Gold Hill.
Colonel Goethals, when questioned
on the subject. said the statement was
entirely without foundation.

SHIPPERS TO FIGHT.
May Enjoin Railroads II New Rates
Are Enforced.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE Tribune yes
terday printed the following news ar
ticle on the transcontinental freight
rate questions as regards the Pacific
coast:
The advance in freight rates in
cluded in the new transcontinental
tariffs, which were filed with the in.
terstate commerce commission about
two weeks ago, and which take effect
under the required 80 days notice on
January l, is likely to provoke a
storm among the shippers. This may
result in an attempt to prevent the
roads from charging the new rates by
injunction proceedings.
During the course of the agitation
against the proposed increases OF the
eastern roads in official classification
territory, little attention has been
paid to the Pacific coast rates Now
that the eastern roads have agreed to
make no general advances for two
months, and many believe that they
may have decided TO back down. ship
pers are comforting to see what may
be done with the transcontinental rate
question.
The traffic committee of the
Illinois Manufacturers association.
which took the lead in the fight on
the eastern rates, has decided to send
a circular letter to members asking
them how much the increases will
affect their business, and what is to
be done about it,
1t has been stated that the brunt of
the fight against the new rates would
probably be undertaken by the Cali
fornia shippers, who are affected by
the increases both eastbound and
westbound, because most of the job
bers receiving freight from Chicago
have been in the habit of paying the
freight themselves.
A formal protest to the interstate
commerce commission is now in
preparation by the California Traffic
association. and this body may decide
to ask for an injunction. In such |
event the shippers in the east may |
rest on the same case or file interven- |
ng petitions as they did in the Texas
rate case
