Pants, Dec. 7.—-Dr. Tourette, a well known pupil of the late Dr. Charcotr, was shot while seated In his consulting room yester- day evening. Tt appears that Dr. Tourette was seated at his desk reading a book when the door of s consulting room was opened and a pretty young woman entcred and rapidly ap- proached the doctor. The latter, upon hear- ing tho rustle of the woman's dress and the sound of her footsteps, turned his head and | must have sprung to his feet and attempted ! 10 scape from the room. The woman fived three shots at him with a revolver before ne | could mako his exit from the rog 0 of 1hie shots taking cffect behind Dr. Tourette's ear. The nolse caused by the revolver shots attracted the doctor's servant and other people to the spot and the woman, who held the s aoking revolver in her hand, was scized and disarmed. p When arrested she at fiest refused to give any account of herself, but later on said ber name was Camper and excitedly de- claved that she was justified in shooting Dr. Touvette, as he had placed her under his hpynotic influence and that it was impossi- ble for her to gain posscssion of her own will until she killed him. Dr, Tourette 13 not dangerously wounded, and it is expected as soon us he recovers he will bo able to show that the police theory that the woman is insane is correct ou FIRING WAS JUSTIFIABLE, Findings of the Commission that Inquired Into English Strike Riots. Loxboy, Dec. 7.—The Daily News says it is understood that the report of the ommis- sion appointed to investizate the Feather stone riots will say that there were errors of judgment gn the part of the authorities, but will admit that the firing upon the rioters was justifiable under the conditions which prevailed at the time. This was 0ne of the worst cases of rioting that occurred during the recent great coal strike in England, wbich wi ended by the government intervention. Featherstone is a small town 1 the south of Yorkshire, not far north of Shefiield. —The strikers at- tacked the machinery and buildings around the mouth of the bits of Lord Masham, a wealthy property ownes, who is_extremely unpopular with the working classes. This unpopularity arose largely from the attitude he took up in_relation to his workpeople when the McKinloy tarilf biil went into effect and which resulted ina disastrous strike of 4,000 operatives in his silk and plush mills in Bradford. The fact that he was created o pecr (his name before was Sam Cunliffe Lister) immediately after this strike added largely to the ill fecling. p The question which the commission of fu- quiry had to decide was whether the order to the troops to fire. which resulted in the death of several of the strikers, was justi- fied. allouged by the Pramier's Nephow. Panty, Dec. 7.—M. Drumont has bee challenged to fight a duel by & uephew of Promier Cassimir Perier. The duel is on ac- count of an article which M.

The offieials of the Burling- ton were in session for two days with the representatives of the Commercial ex- change in an endeavor to adjust matters,but the meeting finally adjourned Wednesday. Mr. George H. Crosby, general freight agent of the B. & M., returned home yesterday mormng. Mr. Crosby was not inclined to talk of the action taken by the r tives of the Burlington system except to say that the new tariff had been issued raising rates in some cases 4 cents a hundred, effec- tive December 10, The position taken by the Burlington 1s outlined by a Burlington man as follows: " *On the i0th day of last June grain rates were raised to the Missisaippi river and Chi- cago 4 cents a hundred, also to St. Louis and the south, but the proportionate raise to the Missouri river was forgotten or overlooked. ‘The Burlington has been unable 1o control any of the through business at Kansas City because of the existing reconsignment rules, thus subjecting vs to losses which has been added to by the Kansas City grain men who have in our judgment overstepped their right in coming into territory tributary to Omaha. This contemplated raise is, there- fore, only a matter of self-protection, just as A merchant would endeavor to protect his trade. The Burlington handles nearly 20 per cent of the grain going south via Kansas City, which is considerable of a grain mar- ket, but by the rules in force there we are unable to regulate any portion of the haut whatever. “There has long been n disparity of rates in favor of Kansas City and against Omaha, which latter city had right to démand a regulation of the differential,and it was upon these grounds and the further ground that we have seemingly ran into a_stone wall at Kansas City in the transfer of grain to Gulf points that we thought the increase should take pla **OUf course, the raise in rates will not ben- efit Omaha particularly, except if there was a grain market here it would put it upon a parity with Kausas City. ‘L'he now, rates will not affect St. Joseph, but will raise the rates to Leavenworth and Kansas Civy.” The advanee in the rate to Kansas Cil will .compel the shipment of much grain which would otherwise pass throuzh the city by the Kaw to come via Omaha, the Burlington's short route to the south. HAL BETTER GO SLOW. Judge Thurston's Advice to the Colorado Opponents of the Union Pacilic. Judge John M. Thurston, general solicitor of the Union Pacific system, has returned from St. Louis, where he went to argue the Union Pacific and Western Union Telegraph company case against the Unted States before the circuit court of appeals. He was not inclined t» predict the outcome of the case, which was taken under ad visement,but from his manner one might judge that hie looked forward to a modification of Judge Brewer's order made last year in the same case which would practically give the Union Pacific all it asked. i Passing to the question of disintegration of the Unton Pacific, which Tue Bee exclu- sivoly brought up last Saturday, and speak- ing of the action of the German bondholders of the Oregon Railway & Navigation com- pany, tne eminent counsel said: 'he action is by nomeans a surprise. [t is a prelim- nary step much desived by the receivers of the Union Pacific,who have wanted to trans- act matters pertaining to the receivershi with some one person or bank authorize act in behalf of the stockholders. This has been done. There is no fear of dismember- ment of tho system taking place terests of the Union Pacific are too interwoven to be lightly put aside. 18 nothing suspicious about the imecting of the German bondholders in Berlin yester- day, but it was only a preliminary step in assisting the. receivers to manipulate the Droperty for the best interests of all con- cerned.” Speaking of the Union Pacific, Denver Gulf situation Judge Tnurston remarkea that if the men in Denver persisted in their present course they might be found holding the sack, or words equivalent to that well known phrase. “The most valuable property which went into the Union Pacifiz, Denver and Gulf con- solidation was the Colorado Central,” said Mr. Thurston, elevating his spactacles from the crease in his nose, “and that matter of ndependent earnin, pacity of the road and the Union Pacific, The original first mortgace bonds of the Colorado Central, the greater portion of which arve owned by - the Union Pacific, were not retired or superseded by the collateral mortgage of the consolidated company he collateral mortgage contemplated taking up all the underlying mortgages. of the soveral constituent companies. but the Colorado Central mortgage carried 1 per cent more interest than the new cousolidated mort- gage, therefore the holders of the Colorado Central bonds refused Lo exchange their bonds fora lower rate of honds of the con- solidated mortgage. 1f the Union Pacitic, Denver & Gulf system under the new re- ceiver should fail to meet the nterest pay- ments on the Colocado Central mortgage the bondholders under that mortgage would commence foreclosure proceedings, asking segregation of the Colorado Central lines from the balance of the Gult system, and would undoubtedly be entitled to & sepurate receiver pending foreclosure.” Should this sezregation take place, inti- mated by Judge Thurston as among Lhe pos- sibilities, it would leave the Union Pacific Denver & Gulf, the Texas line about H#00 miles in_extent, some midor branches in Colorado, also the Cheyenne & Northern, lines which could havdly psy overating ex- penses were they cut off from the main sys- tem of the Union Pacitic. “Under the new receiverstip,” continued Judge Thurston, **the Union Pacitic, Denver & G alf would be leftin au embarrassing posi- tion unless some entively harmonious ar- rangement could be made with the Union Pacific, as the Cheyenne & Northern and the line now forming part of the short line to Denver from La Salle to Julesburg could pot be reached by unv other line of the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf excopt by con- nection over Union Pacific lives: Under these counditions it is safe to assume that the Union Pacific, Deuver & Gulf would be only too glad o get back inw the fold after a period with some foreign receivors." Apropos of the above o telegram was re- Tue Bee yesterday from Den- ver that by consent of ~the lawyers on both sides of the case the hearing of the argu ‘ment for the appointmient of a receiver for the Union Pacific, Denver & Gulf had veen continued by Judge Hallett until Monday. Nogleeted to Assess the Depot. Toreka, Dec. 7.—The published report of the State Board of Railroad Assess ;s does not show that the uaion depot at waven- worth has been assessed. Itis a cor poration entitled “Leavenworth Union Depot and Railroad compary,” the stock being held by the railroads thav use it. Secrvetary of State Osborne says the property was assessed. No one doubts that if the property wus over- looked it wus an oversight on the parvof the board. Tu this case, the precedivg boards have been guiity of the same oversight. The property is about of the syme valuc as the Atchison depot, which was assessed at $29,000. Wikt 8 St. Lours, Dec. 7.—At a weeting of the di- rectors of the St. Louls & Southwesteru Railroad company,.held bere today, at Lue call of Vice President Gould, to determine whether to apply 44Hfe surplus earnings in hand to the anticipatjon of the interest of tho second mortga@d 3¢ to improvements in the system, it was deciged to adopt the lat- ter course. Nothing was stated as to the amount of the surplus gr the exact direction of its application. WILL BE READY IN TWO YEARS, frhki So Says Prestdont:1@1we of the North and Southi Rajiway. TorekA, Dec. TsyBhyga Sogard, the Danish vice consul at Kansas City, is mn Topeia today trying to interest the millers m the gulf tvansportation project. He says he hid thas far secured the pledges of about forty millers in the state to ship their export flour by the new gulf steamship line to Copenhagen. Referring to the statement that wheat shipped from gulf ports would spoil in transit in consequence of the warmth of the gulf stream, Mr. Suodgrass said that wheat loaded carelessly will spoil whether put on board at New York or Galveston. 'I‘lmlsmll stream, ho says, has nothing to do with it. I J. Close, late president of the north and south Failroad convention, says that among the letters received by him is one from a responsible railrond builaer offering to butld and equip the road from the British possessions to the gulf and turn it over to the provisional board of direciors on a guaranteed interest to him of 4 per cent on the investment. Mr. Close says the proposition will be considered by the board at its meeting to be leld in Topeka on the second Tuesday in January. It is estimated that such a rond as propused and planned by the originators of the pro- Ject would cost apout $38,000,000. Mr. Close bélioves the work of construction will be commenced within six months, anh that it will be completed within two years. Secured a Moditication, St. Louts, Dec. 7.—Judge Caldwell of the United States-court of appeals and the Kan- sas City avtorneys were in consultation today over the terms ot the modification of the final decree which certain creditors de- sired in the matterof the Kunsas City, Wyandotte & Northwestern Railroad com- pany. ‘This they succeeded in obtaining and the scope of the modified decree was ox- plained by Judge Caldwell this evening. The upset price for tharoad is fixed at $650,000 instead or $1.000,000 as tixed by the original decree, That is'the only modifica- tion except that the time of sale1s fixed at January 4, 1804, instead of the 15th of the present month."

PLANNING -TO SAVE Colorado State L:ague Meets Ression at Denver. SILVER in Solemn WILL APPEAL TO THE WHOLE PEOPLE President Morrick Says 18 the Only Mes that Wil Affora Relief for the Present Scareity of Money. hat Freo Colnnge Dexver, Dec. 7.—The second annual con vention of the Colorado State Silver league opened in thiscity oday with about 130 dele- tes in attendance. 1In the Denver delega- tion were such prominent citizens as ex-Sena tor N. P. Hill, T. M. Patterson, C. S.Thomas, A. S, Fisk and C. W. Hawley. President Merrick, 1 his opening address, said: ““As aa organization, we demand the restoration to all the people of the United States of the law in relation to coinage as it existed from before the adoption of tho federal constitution and down to 1873, This we believe to be the one and only important question before the American people today. It is not only an American question, but it is a world question, upon the final and just solution of which depends the welfare of the millions of the wealth producers now, and of the millions who will come after us in tho future.” Ho askod whather the promised benefits had followed the repeal of the Sherman law, ana said the goldbugs now admit something must b done to supply the deflciency iu tho money volume. Borrowing gold would give us_relief, but add to the already intolerable burden of debt. The remedy was coinage of both gold and silver at the old ratio and tho issuing of all paper currency by the govern- ment, After fransacting routine business the convention voted that the president ap- point a committes of five, with himself s chairman, to draft an address to the peoplo of the United States in advocacy of the ob- jects of tho league. President Merrick appowted T. B. Bu- chanan of Denver, L. C. Paddock of Boulder, Robert Turner of Idaho Springs and J. k. Murray as the committee, with himself as chairman, to draftan address to tho peoplo. The committeo submitted tonight an ad- dress which was adopted, of which the fol- lowing is & synopsis Address to the People. “Tho Silver league declares its determina- tion to press upon the people of the United States the imperativo necessity for the re- monetization of silver. The misfortunes now general throughout the land are caused by vicious legislation, particularly that mak- ing gold -tho sole measure of commercial value, “The people everywhere are urged to in- quire dilligently into the silver question, to the end that the motives of western citizens may be relieved of all the misrepresenta- tions at present prevalent. “The people of Colorado are not suffering from present conditions more than those clsewhere. Because of our sparse popu tion and the great woalth of our natural resources we can live whilo the people of the denso industrial centers of the east will starve. “The free coinage of silver will not re- doypd to the mining regions alone, but ulso to “the agricultural and manufacturing states.” 1 Tn closing the address he recommends that he voters everywhere shall return only men to the next congress pledged to restore sil- ver to its proper place. A resolution censuring Secretary Carlislo r his position toward silver was, after much discussion, veferred to the executive committee for revision. An American Financial Policy.
