HARRIMAN'S ULTIMATUM. Favorable Laws or No New Railroads or Improvements. San Francisco, Oct. 8. An ultimatum from E. If. Harrlman, delivered by J. C. Stubbs, his personal director of nT.I Ilurriman lines, made at yesterday morning's session of the Trans-Mississippi congress, is ono of tbo most sensa tional events in tbo history of that or ganization. Harriman's message came llko a thunderbolt. He told the Trans-Mississippi con gress, in effect, that if it did not work to prevent the enactment of legislation which had a tendency to discourage the confideneo of the money markets in railroads as investments, not a milo of track in Harrlman territory would bo built or improved. Stubbs compared the great undertak ings of tho United States government with those of Harrlman, and predicted regretfully as n notable exnmplo that ino t'anama canal, -iu years niter its completion, would prove a failure as a financial investment.

OPPOSE PARCELS POST. Trnns-Misslsilppi Congress! Favors Ship Subsidy, However. San Francisco, Oct. 0. Assembling after half a day of recreation, the del cgates to the nineteenth session of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial con gress devoted yesterday afternoon and evening to practical addresses on the development of the West and brief speeches explanatory of resolutions under consideration by the various committees. Hereafter one half of each day Is to be taken up by enter tainment provided by the commercial bodies of San Francisco and of the 1200 delegates who are registered as attending the congress, fully one-third participated yesterday in an excursion by steamer to many points of interest on the bay. A new flood of resolutions deluged the secretary's desk after the dele gates returned. Hccausc of the ex tended debates that have occurred in the sessions of the committee on reso lutions, it is probable that the action upon many of the important measures lor winch approval lias been asked will be retarded. The committee has decided to re commend. in modified form, the reso lution urging the necessity of provid ing for a rejuvenated merchant ma rine, and after a bitter debate of sev eral hours, determined to report ad versely the resolution commending the attitude of Postmaster General Meyer on the subject of a parcels post. The latter topic is expected to furnish the basis of a lively contest on the floor of the congress. WAR ON AUSTRIA. People of Servia Renew Demands on King Peter. Belgrade, Oct. 0.

The crowd cheered the king, but continued to shout, "War with Aus tria." The report of the resignation of the ministers was premature, but the rad icals arc trying to bring this about, charging them witli inactivity in the present critical situation, and it is feared that a cabinet crisis may be forced. The report, spread yesterday that the crown prince had announced his desire to lead an army into Hosnia This was received with popular ac claim, and he was given an ovation while driving in his motor car in the afternoon. Thousands of people pro cceded into the country to meet the troops returning from maneuvers, and escorted them into the town singing war songs. LIMIT SKYSCRAPERS.
