ence of hostility toward Mr.. Fish, but it
is declared this hostility is due to the
actions of Mr.. Fish in beginning the liti-
cation. .l
Goelet and Peabody each deny that Mr..
Hartman dominates and influences him.
Hartman AYERS that he does not domi~
nate or influence Goelet or Peabody or
any of the directors of the Illinois Cen

prejudicialy to the interests Of the Illi-
nois Central, and declares the only deal
ings had between that company and the

two years have been agreements for con-
Meeting their tracks and the use of the
station of the Union Pacific at Omaha,
both of which were recommended, 1t is
pointed out, by Mr.. Fish, and for the in
terchange of traffic and interchange of

Squadron Ordered to
Protect Towns
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
ROME, Jan. 9.-News has been received
here of serious troubles in italian Somali.
land on the east coast of Africa, which
have resulted in pitched battles between
the Italian forces there and the Abyssin-
ians.
A dispatch reports a raid by 1000 Abys-
sinlans near Lugh, the farthermost Ital-
ian station in the interior, the Abyssin-
ians robbing, killing and imprisoning
many of the merchants.
Lugh is garrisoned by only about 125
natives under command of Capt. Bongio-
vanni and the attacking party laid siege
to the town.
In a number of engagements that fol-
lowed 10th sides, according to the re-
ports, suffered heavy losses.
Squadron to Rescue
The Italian government has ordered the
squadron now in the Red sea to proceed
to the coast OF Somaliland in order to
protect the towns along the coast. as the
entire territory is garrisoned by not more
than 1000 natives under the command OF
Italian officers.
At the same time the government has
telegraphed to the Italian legation at
Ads Abebba, the capital of Abyssinia.
instructins the Italian minister to pre-
sent protest to King Menelik against
the violation of the status quo.
Italy holds Lugh through an arrange
ment concluded with the sultan of that
territory in 1895, which, however. was
never ratified by King Menelik, who con-
slider ! Lugh as portion of his own
territory. Lugh is nearly thirty days,
march from the coast.
lugh Is Destroyed
Later in the day dispatches Indicate
the trouble is of more serious nature
than at first supposed. 1t is learned on
good authority that Lugh was besieged
by the Abyssinians and destroyed after
a desperate and unequal fight and that
its defenders were killed.
1t IS believed here that the Italian gov
ernment is concealing a severe reverse
in order to prepare the public for graver
news
The Importance of the present situation
lies in the establishment of the fact as
to whether the king Of Abyssinia ordered
the attack.

The first section of the bill deals with
the bureau question by granting author
ity to bureaus now in existence to con-
time to transact the business assigned
them and requiring that all reports and
recommendations shall be made directly
to the secretary of the navy.
There is then added the provision that
mo permanent board of any kind shall

nartment or continued in operation unless

The Grand Canyon picture painted by W. E.

The com ments of the art critics here will be watched with particular interest. From Frisco the painting will be taken to Chicago where it will be displayed in the Chicago Art Institute.
 While the plans regarding the paint ing have not all been maturcd it is understood that from the Windy City it will be shipped to New York, later to Boston and other cities. The paint ing will probably have its final home in the Chicago Art Institute. where it will be a worthy contribution to be admired by thousands of annual vis-. itors.

TWO DEFENDANTS
 TOO lALKAINE
They Worked Back Into The Tolls After They Had Been Freed.

Two defendants in Justice John stones court yesterday after they were out of the woods" and danger sue ceeded by an overmuch and wholly un- necessary talking in bringing them selves back into the tolls. One of them was Tom Fully who had been charged with Bucl Maple with burglarizing the national guard storehouse and steal ing three guns and other articles. The developments of the last two days in- dicated that while Fully might have had subsequent guilty knowledge of the affair. he had taken no part in the burglary II was therefore intended. if the evidence which it was thought Maple would give was produced, to discharge Tully.
 Though Maple was not sworn he made a statement in which in a very manly manner he eXonOrated all of the boys whose names had been in any way connected with the burglary. None of them he said knew anything about il until after it had taken place.
 There was apparently nothing to do
  But Tully insisted on being sworn. Ir the first place he tried to show that Maple was morally guiltless of any wrongdOing. He had d right he said. as a member of the militia to take the guns with the intention of returning them, and that was his intention. Tully went on and related how he came to know about the matter He said that Maple was deSirOus of restoring the property but its loss had been discov- cred and so much of an uproar had been created that there was nothing to do but conceal it. Fully said that he took that task upon himself. He had been employed by the Lauver and M MEwen Transfer company and knew where the key to the warehouse was kept He secured it and Maple one night brought the box containing the stolen property. Fully said that he took it into the Warehouse and hid il
