Another effort is about to be made to settle the rate troubles in the West A meeting has been called of the Montana lines at Omaha January 2, and if this in any way succeeds in straightening out the difficulties, a meeting will be held in Denver on the following day. This second meeting will take up the ques tion of Utah rates, and the differences between the Union Pacific and the Denver Rio Grande. The California lines are having some trouble with their passenger rates in connection with the landseers' excursions. . Some of the land agents who are working up the business for these excursions have ad vertised that they will run free sleeping-cars from Chicago to California. The roads not engaged in the excur sions claim the roads which are to carry the sleepers are in oonnivanoe with the land agents, while it is assert ed on the other hand that the lines running the excursions are receiving full fare for all the excursionists they handle. The complaining lines threat en to take action in the near future whioh will' even up the rates which they declare are being out to the extent of $15 for the free sleepers. ; , SOLDIERS VS. POLICE. It All Came About Because of the Sale of Beer Without a License. Bridgeport, Conn., Jan. 3. A battle between soldiers and police occurred in Saddler's hall last night About thirty men were seriously injured. The sol diers were defeated and twenty were locked up. '" A raiding party went to Saddler's hall, where the Kosklusko Guards, a military organization, were having a dance, to execute a warrant for the seizure of beer. The soldiers drew their sabers and drove the officers from the hall. - A reinforcement of 1 & policemen was called, and attempted to enter the hall, but the guards beat them baok with their sabers. The police were cut and slashed, and sev eral seriously injured. The captain of the guards is soarcely recognizable from the bumps and cuts on his face. All the prisoners bear marks of the fight They were spattered with blood and their uniforms torn in shreds. The soldiers jumped on the polioe, scratched their faces and tore their hair out by handf uls. After the fight, five other halls were visited and nearly 100 kegs of beer seized. ' Long Fall to Death. Portland, Or., Jan. 2. Frederick Baker, an unmarried man, 23 years of age, employed as an assistant janitor in the Dekum building, having charge of the fifth and sixth floors, met with a horrible death yesterday morning, while in the performance of his duties. While engaged in oleaning the win dows opening ' out upon the inner oourt, and in an effort to pass from one window to another, he lost his balanoe and fell headlong through a skylight, a distance of sixty-five feet, landiag in an unconscious state upon the main floor of Lipman, Wolfe & Co. 's store. Fast Going on a Tandem. ' San Deigo, Cal., Jan. 8. Taylor and Hewitt, on a tandem, rode three qrters of a mile, paced by Stone, Swanbrough, Washburne and Terrill, on a quad, flying start, 1:21 flat, break ing the world's record of 1:28 1-5, made by Bainbridge and Gardner at Waltham. The same men and pace makers, same start, broke the world's class B mile reoord of 1:52 3-5.

Acoording to At torney Charles Barry," the Mexican government has granted to an Ameri can syndicate the oonoession to build a railroad from Tonola to Tuxetla, and from St Geronimo to the Frontier of Guatemala, with a branoh from La Paohulla to St. Benito. The distanoe is 405 miles. The governments, fed oral and state, have granted a subsidy of 15,000,000, and the construction will begin in April, 180. , ALASKA'S BOUNDARY REPORT OF THE CHIEF OFCOAST AND GEODETIC SURVEY. A General ; Duffield and Mr. King, the Canadian Represent atlve, Meet r at Albany and Compare Notes Plain as If Recorded by Deeds and Maps Washington, Jan. 4. General Duf field, chief of ooast and geodetio sur vey, today presented to the secretary of state the report on the Alaska boundary, whioh was agreed on by him and the Canadian representative, Mr.' King, at Albany this week. The report will not be made public until transmitted to congress, . but it shows a praotioal agreement between the surveys of the two governments, jnd may have the effect of partially quieting the appre hension of trouble over the boundary. The greatest difference between the lines run by the engineers of the two governments is only six feet and seven inohes, or fifteen seoonds of longitude. In view of the two surveys, General Duffield does not hesitate to express the opinion that there can be no dis pute between the United States .and Canada over the boundary. He said: "The line is as plain from the treaty as though it had been recorded by deeds and maps. " " " The two commissioners who met at Albany, had no authority to fix -the boundary, but only to recommend from the results whioh had, been reached the lines to be definitely established. The ratification of their work remains for another joint oommittee, and Secretary Olney will doubtless reoommend to oongress an act for the appointment of a commissioner to represent the United States for this purpose.-. - General Duffield is confident that the British can find no grounds upon whioh to base a claim to the gold fields of the Yukon river, since a British engineer, Oglesby, in 1898, after a very careful observation, marked the banks of .the Yukon and Forty-Mile creek, where these streams are crossed by the 141st meridian, and his marks were verified by the United States survey;'? The only possible ground for contention General Duffield forsees is . furnished by that phrase of the Russian-British treaty that at no point shall the boundary be more than ten marine leagues from the shore. 'The United States government interprets this to mean continental leauges, while England might contend that ten leagues from the island. ' shore was ' contemplated a construction which would deprive the United States of a valuable strip, of territory, if sus tained, e - . ...... -- IN BEHALF OF ARGENTINE. Senate Asked to Exclude It From the Workings of the Mew Tariff. Washington, j'an. 2. Senator Voor hees has presented to the senate a com munication from Senor J. V. Domin guez, charge d'affairs of the Argentine legation, bearing upon the relations be tween Argentine and the United States as affected by the tariff. It relates to the proposed tariff on wool under the house revenue tariff bill, and, in order that there shall not be any interrup tion of the good feeling now ' existing, and to avoid disturbing the commercial relations between the two countries, he asks whether it could not be suggest ed, in considering the bill, that the proposed duty should be made to ap ply only to countries other than South American. He says the only importa tions from South America are compar atively small, and instances the state ment of the National Woolgrowers' Association that their chief oomplaint is against Australian wools, and sug gests that all desired ends oould be ac complished by exempting South Ameri can countries from the operations of the bill. He adds: "In this way rela tions with a sister republio would not be affected, and the Argentine Republio would supply, in a moderate degree, the wants of this market, while that country could continue to expand her exports.". . ' ' Dominguez calls attention to the fact that the prinoipal ' Europeaen nations admit South Amrioan wool free of duty and asks how, if oongress desires friendly and close relations between this country and other Amerioan states, it can pass a measure whioh will ex clude from this market " the chief produot of one of the South Amerioan oountries? After some debate the com munication was referred to the oom mittee on finance. A Denial From New York.' "' New York, Jan. 2. Regarding the artiole in the Portland Oregonian today forecasting a possible orisis in the Northern Paoiflo receivership contro versy, it is said by looal representatives of the Northern Paoiflo interests that the artiole had little basis in faot, and merely evidenoed the feeling of the far Western interests concerning the apparent inability of . the courts to agree on a single body of receivers for the system. The hitherto unsuccessful-' efforts of - the Farmers'- Loan & Trust Company to effect a settlement of the existing difficulties, however, have not destroyed the hope of adjust ment in the near future, and the plan now - under discussion is : regarded as likely to reach a more successful issue. FORTUNE FOR CAMPBELL. Ohio's Ex-Governor Said to Have ' "Struck It Rich" in California. , Columbus, O., Jan. 2. From reli abble sources it has been ascertained here that ex-Geovrnor Campbell has reoently "struck it rioh" in California gold mines. The information, as it oomes from Captan Frank Barrett, for merly of Lancaster, and now - located in the San Joaquin valley, Cal., is very interesting. . ' Some years ago Captain Barrett con cluded to leave Ohio and seek new fields in the far West. He purchased a cattle ranoh midway between San Franoisoo and Los Angeles and settled there. While there he heard the legend, whioh had been handed down from the Indians for half a century, that at a point in the San Joaquin river, on his ranoh, there ' was a vast deposit of gold. The story kwas that in a pool formed by a natural dam in the San Joaquin, at the foot of the famous Gold Gulch, from which many for tunes had been taken, there were de posits of the gold which the depth of the pool had heretofore prevented any thing like successful working. Lack of water had prevented the full work ing of the guloh itself, for the deposits required placer ' mining, and it was only when the spring freshets flushed the valley that evidences of the gold which had for years been swept to ward the gulfs were obtainable. "" Captain Barrett determined to work that pool, and he returned to Ohio and organized the Ohio Mining Company, with $500,000 capital, . and with Gov ernor Campbell, Allen G. Thurman and other Ohioans as - stockholders. Gov ernor Campbell took one-eighth of the stock. Barrett's plan was to build another dam at the head of the pool, change the oourse of the stream, then drain the first dam and secure its rich deposits. Professional divers were first secured to prospect the pool. The re sult surpassed the wildest hopes. Gold was brought up to the value of $10 a pan. men tne construction of the dam was begun. It was a tedious under taking and it was only through the summer drought that progress could be made. The drainage of the pool has just begun, but it already promises to make fortunes for all the stock holders. TRAINS COME TOGETHER. Two Persons Killed, Four Seriously and Two Slightly Injured. ' Cincinnati, Jan. 2. Two passenger trains oollided at 7:30 tonight on the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern rail way, near Coal City, fourteen miles from Cincinnati. They were the Louisville express, whioh left this city at 7:05 P. M., an the St Louis accom modation, due here at 7:05, but which was an hour late. The first known of the collision here was when the wreck ing train was sent out about 8 o'clock, accompanied by physicians, railway officials and others. The wildest rumors were current The hospitals were put in readiness and police head quarters were promptly equipped for the care of the injured. When infor mation was obtained from the scene it was found that there were two per sons killed and six injured. Both engines were totally wreoked. The combination car of the Louisville ex press and the express car of the St Louis train were telescoped. Coal City is a coaling station on the road and has no telephone. When the engines were wrecked they knocked out a telegraph pole with such force as to cut off all telegraphio communica tion. Messengers arriving from the scene of' the wreck report that all of the injured have been rescued and are being cared for. The killed are: Fire man Wilson, of Louisville express; an unknown man, buried under the wreok. ' Union Pacific Finances. New York, Jan.,' 8. The Union Paoiflo reorganization committee says that it has received a majority of all Union division, main line and Kansas division first mortgage bonds in circu lation, as -well , as large deposits of junior bonds, and nearly one-half of the capital stock. The committee also announces its intention to proceed promptly and energetically with gen eral foreclosures. It extends the time for deposit of bonds and stocks without penalty until January 15. Stock assessments will not be called until the plan has been declared operative. The Debs Case. Cincinnati, Jan. 8. President. E V. Debs, of the American Railway Union, came under the jurisdiction of Judge Taft, of the United States court, dur ing the great railroad striks of 1894, and the proceedings are not yet ended. Today, the demurrer of Debs and his associate' directors, Howard and Rog ers, in the contempt proceedings, was overruled and an order was issued directing Debs and associates to file an answer within 10 days. ' Debs may yet have to endure another trial for con tempt. . -'.; -" -. Creede Bank Closes Its Doors. " Denver, Jan. 8.

An Epitome of All Events of Importance. ; The Usual Admixtnre of Disaster, ' Crime, Political Changes, Commer cial Achievements, and Interna tional Complications Atrocities of Tnrks in Armenia the Moat Shock log Page In Modern History Pow ers of Europe Unite in Demanding Reform-Cuban Revolution Next In Public Interest. "'-',"'' With but two exceptions, the nature of the events which go to make up the his tory of the past year is not startling, The butchery of thousands of Armenians by Turks has aroused the European powers, and at the close of the year active preparations were in progress which sug gested the probable dismemberment of the Ottoman empire. The revolt of Cubans against Spanish rule was the next most important affair, and that, too, was in full sway at I he close of the year. Spain seems to fruitlessly bend every energy toward its suppression. Popular sympathy is largely with the Cubans, and their success seems not improbable, , In American politics the year has been ex citing, and one of the great parties has suffered such reverses as to leave the chief executive unsupported in political faith by a majority in either house of Congress.
