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.

its regular biennial session. Uno of tho
most important duties of the session
will bo to elect a United States senator
a successor to tho Into Itedfield Proc
tor, Mr. Stewart now holding tho placo
ad interim by appointment of the gov
ernor. There appears to bo a strong
popular sentiment that tho honor should

roll S. I'ago. Tho names of Governor
Fletcher I'roctor and Congressman D.
J. Foster also aro mentioned in connec
tion with tho senatorship.

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. Great crowds
again surrounded the palace last
night, shouting for war and calling for
the king to appear. Finally King
Peter, accompanied by the Crown
Prince, came to the balcony and im
plored the people not to cause a dis
turbance lie said:
"Trust me ami my government;
both will do their duty."
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.
New York Building Authorities De
cide on 300 Feet.
New York, Oct. 0. The committee
on public buildings of the board of
aldermen has announced a public hear
ing on the proposal to limit the height
of all buildings in New York. If the
aldermen should adopt the proposal,
after the hearing it must go to the
board of estimates, and the mayor
will have the final decision.
It is proposed to limit the height of
buildings to 300 feet, with the excep
tion of buildings that front on a park,
square or plaza, for which the limit
is proposed at 330 feet.
The proposition was made by the
building code revision committee,
which nude its reports after investi
gating the width of the streets in the
city. Where the width of a street is
less than 45 feet, a height of 13 J feet
only will be permitted. A general
limit of ISO feet is proposed for all
stores, lofts, warehouses, restaurants,
markets, refrigerator plants, stables,
factories, workshops, garages and
other structures of a similar nature
Office buildings, grain elevators and
observatories are to be the only build
ings to be allowed to rite higher.
It is expected that considerable op
position to the new plan will develop.

Riot Leaders Go Free.
Springfield, III., Oct. 0. The jury
in the case of Abe Kaymcr, alleged
mob leader, charged with destruction
of property during the recent riots,
returned a verdict of not Kuilty yes
terday. Kaymcr had previously been
acquitted of murder in connection
with the lynching of William Donne
