". P. RESUMES
FULL TRAIN SERVICE

Although the Western Pacific has
been open to freight traffic for some
time, regular passenger service was
resumed today. With the exception Of
few days, when the company's tracks
in the Feather river canyon were COW
cred with debris occasioned by snow
and land slides, it would have been
possible to run passenger trains after
fashion, but in order to insure the
comfort and safety of its passengers,
the management concluded to thor
oughly repair the damage to the road
bed caused by the hard winter just
closed. The result is that today the
line is in better physical condition
than at any previous time since it was
opened, and present indications are
that it will now be enabled to operate
with no more serious delays than those
incident to the best regulated rail-
ways.
No. passed east Tuesday evening,
carrying It's passengers, and left Salt
Lake City this morning, as No. l. No.
4 left Oakland last evening" and this
afternoon both trains are reported run
ming practically on time.

As had been believed by many pco-
pie during the past thirteen years, 1t is
,low shown that the United States bat
tleship Maine, destroyed i'll Havana
llarbor in February, 1898. with Il loss
OF many lives, was blown up by an
internal explosion, and when the ship
is raised it will be manifest that the
Spaniards in Cuba had absolutely moth
ing to do with tho destruction Of the
vessel. This is the opinion OF officials
OF the War Department, based upon
information conveyed to them by army
officers engaged in the work of raising
shc shattered hull. The accident. it is
stated, was due to the explosion OF one
OF the alright compartments used Tor
the storage OF ammunition. The above
facts should have been aScer,alncd at
the time and an unnecessary war
avoided But there were many people
in this country at that period who were
suffering from lingo fever and they
were in no condition TO listen to reason.
War was declared and in the end Spain
alnloaded possessions on the United
States which have cost this country
many millions and which, it is believed,
will eventually cause other wars in
order to perpetuate the titles.

Another Poisoning Mystery.

Pittsburg, Jan 9.-With George n.
Strobaker, well known merchant OF
Sheridan, recovering from strychine
poisoning and the condition OF his wife
Edith becoming hourly more serious,
the police today are trying to explain
the latest phase of the poison mystery,
how the drug was administered to Mrs.
Strobaker while in cell at the police
station.
1t was ten hours after the woman s
arrest that she was seized with convul-
sions early today and the physicians
at the South Side Hospital agree that
the poison could not have been given
to her before she was taken into Gus
tody. Her condition became rapidly
so critical that il was necessary TO re-
move her from the jail to the hospital,
where her husband was taken Saturday
afternoon. An analysis Of Jelly spread
on the bread in the lunch Strobaker
took with him from home Sat
urday is said by the physicians today
to have contained sufficient strychnlne
to kill twenty persons, and that an
overdose was all that has saved Stro-
bakers life.

CITY Treasurer Robinson.
Especial Dispatch to the Gazctterl

Richmond, Va, Jan. 9.-City Treas
urcr Robinson, of Alexandria, is deeply
embarrassed by the failure few days
ago OF the Virginia Safe Deposit and
Trust Corporation. OF Alexandria. AT
the time of the failure the treasurer
had over SIS, 900 OF the states money
on deposit with the defunct institution.
Under the rules of the states auditors
Office this money should have been
transmitted to the auditor December
18th. The city treasurer delayed his
settlement and in the meantime the De-
post and Trust Corporation was closed.
Treasurer Robinson is personally re-
liable together with his sureties. I'm
fortunately, however, the failed instltu-
ton was his surety as well as his
banker. Besides depositing money as
treasurer, Mr.. Robinson had money on
deposit in the bank as an Individual.
This private account he has assigned to
the State. At the auditors office there
is no suggestion of doubt of the treas
urer's honesty and good intentions.
