CHICAGO, March Officials of the Atchison denjed tonight that any dispatch had gone from President Huntington of the Southern Pacific to Recelver Keinhart of the Atchison breaking off the mnegotiations between the two lines. It was declared at the Atchison offices that the story was with out foundation, because they had later in. formation of the progress of the negotlations. “I wired Mr. Reinhart this morning," sald Vice President Robinson, “and if he had ‘recelved any such message from Mr. Hunt. ington he would have lost no time in telling me of it. The freight committce of the Central Traffic association met today and adjusted a few routine matters regarding commodity rates. Nothing of importance was done. The Wisconsin Central today informed Chairman_Caldwell of the Western Passens ger assoclation that a $10 basing rate from Chicago to Kansas City reduced the rates to some Montana and North Pacific points. It announced that it would make the samo rate to these points via St. Paul as wero made via the Missouri river gateways. The effect will be to reduce the St. Paul-Port. land rate by $1.50 and the Montana com- mon points by the same amount. The Northwestern today denied that it was or had been cutting any California rates. The Union Pacific has already denied’ the same thing, and its tickets to California_over both lines at cut rates have been purchased at Chicago. Has Been Modified. SAN FRANCISCO, March 15.—The rate _war situation was somewhat modified by the expressions of C. P. Huntington, president of the Southern Pacific company, today. Sald Mr. Huntingto The war is sure to end sooner or later. When the tme comes the companies will agree to a settlement. I see no reason why that time should be far away. s Third Vice President Stubbs intimated that while the Southern Pacific will not agree to the withdrawal of its circular of February 16, denying to the senate the priv- “flege of ticketing passengers through Los Angeles and out by way of Mojave to San Franclsco, there is a proposition to suspend the requirements and conditions of that cir- cular until consultation can be held. It is understood that this arrangement would be acceptable to the Santa Fe, and in the light of Mr. Huntington's remarks a spesdy sus- pension of hostilities and a restoration of Tates Is indicated.

CHICAGO, March (Speclal Telegram to The Bee)—=A demand was made today on the Chicago & Northwestern road by the chalrman of the Western Passenger assocla- tion for Its answer to the charges made against it by the Santa Fe. These charges were that the Northwestern Is responsible for the cuts that the Union Pacific 18 ac- cused of making in the rate from Chicago to San Francisco. The Northwestern's de fense was a gencral denial of al! the charges made and a claim that they must fail upon the Santa Fe's own showing. According to the statement made by the Santa Fe, the tickets alleged to have been purchased by its agent at a reduced rate consisted of two 5. Onoe of these parts was a card read- ing over the Northwestern from Chicago to Oma which the full rate of $12.60 was paid. The other a prepaid order, signed by the Unlon Pacific agent here and reading from Omaha to Los With the sale of that prepaid order the Northwestern had nothing tever to do and cannot in any sense be held responsible. It claims that the only cut that ecan be made in rates is through a sealp of the rate from San Fran- cisco to Los Angeles, but for the possibility of that scalp the Southern Pacific, but neither the Union Pacific nor the North- western s responsible Angeles otw the Worst of Tt. Overland ¢ W. T. Holly, general agent of the passen- Pacific, with ger department of the headquarters at Chicago, {8 in town. Mr Holly has recently been accused of selling cut rate tickets via the Union Pacific from the Missourl river and has been subjected to no end of annoyance from both the Bur- lington and Rock Island through their tests of the market. Wednesday Mr. Holly stated he had quite an experience in selling a ticket to a passenger and an hour later was called upon by the passenger department of the Rock Island to redeem the ticket, which be did. He then went into a broker's office next door and found to his surprise that the broker had used the Union Pacific ticket regu 1y, the scalp, however, show- ing itself in the going portion of a Rock sland ticket, which the broker had used. These situations are of daily occurrence,” Mr. Holly. “The Union Pacific in- ably gets the worst of it from the Chi- cago papers, the railroad men on the dailies calling upon Eustis, Sebastian and White, and totally ignoring our side of the case, probably fearful that they will be compelled to form a different impression of the situa- tion.” Unlon C crning Hoatner's Resolution Judge Kelly of the legal dopartment of the Union Pacific, in speaking of the Boat- ner resolution introduced Wednesday in con- gress, said: “The grievances complained of in the resolition are quite ten years old, and the coumsolidation matters referred to have been appfoved by congress and en- dorsed by the supreme court in two or three cases. It would seem that after allowing these things to sleep for ten years, in all that time the authority of congress and the supreme court boing . unquestioned, it ought to be allowed to rest in peace. No one, however, would pretend to speak intel- ligently on the resolution at length until tho whole document is seen, and not having scen that, T must decline to give an opinion about the resolution.” President Clark remarked, when shown the telegram: “It comes pretty late in the day, don't it?” Bars Down for a Fight. The truce between the Santa Fe and South- ern Pacific is at an end, President Hunting- ton of the Southern Pacific having given final notice to President Reinhart of the Santa Fe yesterday that the latter's proposed basis of settiement could not be ac- cepted. Of course this can only result in one way. Within a day-or two all further consultations will end and then there will be a hustle for California business which will put iy the shade previous efforts to round up thousands of eastern travelers in California. At Union Pacific headquarters peace seemed to refgn, Mr. Lomax stating that all the talk about a boyeott of the Union Pacific on the part of the Western Passenger association was of little moment to him. ““We are en- tirely ignorant of the charges made in re- gard to California business, our only effort being to keep up with the procession.” Doing No Damage. Vice President A. S. Potter of the Omaha Terminal company stated to a Bee reporter Wednesday that all the talk now being heard about the street that the channel of the Missouri had changed to such an extent that it left a sandbar under the draw span of the East Omaha bridge was totally unfounded. “I have been out to the bridge in the last day or two and found that there was enough water to float any river boat on either side of the draw, although the river is not very high. Al the debris left in the river dur- ing the process of construction of the bridge has gone out, and I feel certain that with the June rise there will be a channel ‘left on elther side of the draw to float any boat passing up or down the river.” Union Pacific Sells Land. An important transfer which has been hanging fire for some time owing to diffi- culties In the way of giving a perfect title, was consummated yesterday, those difficulties having been removed. The land In question was the property of the Union Pacific and is an irregular plece containing six acres lying near the west approach to tho Bast Omaha bridge and is casential to the suc- cessful _construction and operation of the terminals of the bridge company.

It is generally un- derstood that the meeting was called through fear on the part of some of the lines that reductions in grain rates, wlhich went into effect a fortnight ago, might be followed by a shading of rates under that figure and cause a general demoralization. Wants the Mortgage Foreclosed, KANSAS CITY, March 15.—The Unlon Trust company of New York filed a bill of complaint in the federal court today against tho Atchison, Topeka & Si Fe Railway company, asking for the forcclosure of mort- gages held by the plaintift. The proceedings are the same as brought in other states where the Santa Fe railway has property and are incidental to the recent appointment of recelvers for that road.

Despite a contrary report, Admiral da Gama is on the Portuguese warship Mindello, on which he first took refuge. The ravages of yellow fover alarms every- body here. The number of deaths amount to sixty daily. All sorts of rumors are in circulation. One of them Is that the Aqui- daban, one of the vessels seized by Admiral de Mello when he sought to set up a govern- ment on his own account, has been found abandoned in southern waters. Pecullar Financial Situation. CITY OF MEXICO, March 15.—Parties in from the state of Chiapa, on the eastern border of Mexico, tell of a peculiar financial condition which holds there just now. Al- though the state is regularly in the Mex- ican union, the money of Mexico is practi- cally unknown among the masses, and the silver money of the nelghboring republic of Guatemala {8 the common medium of ex- chanze. When a Mexican dollar bearing the eagle is found it brings a high pre minm and fs considered of great power in The present 53 per cent discount 1 dollars on the northern United r and the high premium which lars commands on the southern rder is one of the anomalies made possible by the existing financial con ditions. Made William Angry. BERLIN, March 15.—Emperor William Is annoyed at the renewed reports that he Is suffering from {1l health, rumor having it that this was the reason which caused him to decide upon visiting Abbasin, Conse- quently the emperor today caused a long official statement to be issued which, after strongly deprecating the false rumors, says that for the last four years the emperor has required no continuous medical treatment for his complaint, of which there is not the slightest trace now and not the slightest necessity for an operation. The officlal statement concludes with the remark that the emperor's visit to Abbasin is purely to obtain repose, and that he has no intention to seek medical advice. Redeeming Tts Notes nt Par CITY OF MEXICO, March 15.—The re- demption of the legal tender bank notes of the National Bank of Mexico, which was inaugurated on March 1, is proceeding rapidly, This is the first time in the his- tory of Mexico finances that a bank has redeemed its own paper at par, it always being considered entirely just and prope that the bank retain a certain percentage when_its notes were retired from circula- tion.

Many of the ron, steel and glass workers are in such circumstances they could live comfortably in idleness for several years without assistance from any source.

Carlisle and Johnson In taking depo- sitions in Kentucky. According to the woman’s story, she had been born a slave in Alabama forty-six years before, had lived in Lexington “‘sence during the wah" for twenty-five or twenty six years. Sarah Goss. for she was the woman over whose deposition there w trouble in Kentucky, had “'knowed Kurnel Breckinridge sence [ was a little girl." When Mr. Farrell asked if Mr. Breckin- ridge had ever visited her house accom- panied by any person, Attorney Shelby ob- Jected that the question should connect Colonel Breckinridge's companion with the plaintiff, a point which Judge Bradley said was well taken. “Do you know Miss Pollard?" inquired the attorney. “1 do." “Do you see her here Rising, the colored woman pointed to the plaintift and resumed her seat. Ten years ago, she continued, Colonel Breckinridge had begun to visit her house on Broad street In Lexington with Miss Pollard Before the first visit he had called on Thurs- day in summer time to ask that Miss Pol- lard be kept there from Friday to Monday, a request which was at first refused because the witness had no room, but was finally agreed upon. Friday nizhi, just at dark, they came, and Colonel Breckinridge was In the front room with Miss Pollard until 11 o'clock. Colonel Breckinridge knocked on the middle door for the woman to let him out when he was ready to go. “She was In the bed with her night dress on," sald the witness. “He kissed her and bid her good night, putting his arm around her.” Saturday night and Sunday night Colonel Breckinridge had repeated his visits, each night kissing Miss Pollard goodby in the presence of the colored woman. The bed gave evidence of having been occupied each night. She (Miss Rollard) was in it and it was rumpled up,,the witness explained. Sunday night Colonel Breckinridge had said that Miss Pollard /wust. get down to the depot early in the morning to take the first train and the witness had overheard him say that she wasito meet Mr. Rhodes there. .31 Mr. Farrell asked the opinion of Sarah Goss as to_the agé of Miss Pollard at the time, a question objedted to by the defense, admitted by the judge, an exception noted and the answer givausas follows: “She had a_dress up to the top of her shoes, a school girl dress, and seemed to be about’ 17 or 18. Some times she wore her hair down her back in a plait. . “‘Had Miss Pulln;g:'\'vr visited,.your house before. that time SHb came Wit - Colonel Breckinridge?" asked the attorney. “No, sir. “Had Col there before?” , (! This question el o reeze: Attorney Shelby was on his feet instantly, objecting, the spectators leancd forward eagerly while Sarah spoke. up clearly: “‘Yes, sir.” Judge Bradley sustdiiied the objection and the question and .answer were ordered stricken from the record. BRECKINRIDGE HER ONLY VISITOR. Colonel Thompson oftered the explanation that the witness said that Colonel Breckin- ridge had visited her before to make ar- rangements for bringing Miss Pollard there, but nevertheless the audience snickered over the answer. “Did Miss Pollard ever come there with any one but Colonel Breckinridge?’ asked the lawyer. “No, sir,” was the answer. The pair had visited her house about fifty times. A year ago last fall Colonel Breck- inridge had come there, asking to bring Miss Pollard again, but the witness refused, declaring she was not taking people in any longer, although Colonel Breckinridge in- sisted that the witness was the only woman Miss Pollard would trust herself with, Then the witness created a sensatlon by relating that Colonel Breckinridge had visited her last summer after the suit had been filed, had told her he hoped she would have noth- ing to do with the case, to which she had re- plied that she must tell the truth. Colonel Breckinridge had inquired where Mary Scott and Mary Wilson were, saying that he wanted to kecp them out of the way. He had also asked it Miss Pollard ever camo to the house with Colonel Swope, and witness had assured him that he the only man Miss Pollard had ever met there. The visits of Colonel Breckinridge and Miss Pollard to Saral’s house, the witnes testified, had extended over a period of three or four vears. Colonel Sheiby began the cross-examina- tlon by inquiring: ‘“‘Sarah, how long have you been keeping an assignation house in Lexington?” ~ Whereupon Sarah rolled her eyes to the celling and rosponded: *Nine- teen years,” in a matter of fact way. “Who brought you here?” “Mr. Farrel telegraphed for me to come.” “How long have you kuown Mr. Farrel?" “Oh, ever since he was a young man,’” answered the witness, a reply which drew a visible blush to the cheeks of the attorney, because the audience persisted in smiling, The first visit of Colonel Breckinridge and Miss Pollard had been in the latter part of August, and Sarah Goss understood that the girl had been brought from school, as most schools were closed from Friday to Monday. Colonel Breckinridge had said the girl came on a train. The next witness was a well dressed lady, Lucretia Marie Minear of Washington, whose volce trembled as she announced she had lived at 25 Lafayette' squar lonable boarding housq between the Cosmos club and Senator Dof! Cameron’s residence, and but one door ffofs”the Blaine mansion, where Miss Pollard’ h##l boarded in 1592 and Colonel Bytikinridge had often ited Miss Pollard af the house. The witness, it appeared,'‘was the landlady of the Lafayette square louse. Mrs. Minear had last s Miss IP8llard walking in the park with Colonel Briickinridge in April or May of 1893. .

Soon, however, Miss Poila Judge Wilson went in sea and Mr. Carlislc Mrs. Burt recognized Miss Pollard; said she had iived at Thirteenth and F streets for ten days in October, 1887, under the nume of Mrs. Foster.

Maher is the erstwhile Irish giant, who came over here to fight John L. or any of the other big ones, but who subsequently took on Bob Fitzsimmons at New Orleans and met with an inglorious defeat. Marshall is the colored Australian featherweight who is over here in quest of George Dixon's scalp and who has succeeded in making a most favorable im- pression on the California_sports, who are willing to go broke that he can lick any man of this weight in the world. “We intend to lay over in_Chicago,” said Quinn, “to see ke Weir and Young Griffo Saturday. Jerry here is de- sirous of seeing his fellow countryman in the ring once more. They fought twice in Australia, making a draw the first time, but Griffo got the decision In the second fight by being in collusion with the referee and club managers. Marshall had him all but out when the fight was suddenly brought 10 a close on a technical foul, and the award made to Griffo.” In speaking to Marshall about Griffo, he said there was no denying that he was one of the greatest little men in the world. “Why id the good-natured little black, “didn’t he make a draw with me,” as much as to say that settled it; “but more than that,” he continued, “he made a draw with no less a man than Dan Creedon, and Cree- don was bloody well glad of it.” hen Creedon can't be the rated over here? “Not by a long shot, and if Dick Moore is half as good as they fell me he is he ought to_beat Dan in a finish contest. Marshall is fet black, with long arms and a bulky body, and with legs that look as it they were good enough for almost any jour- ney. He is built upon the Fitzsimmons style ot architecture, and is a_good man beyond doubt or quibble. Maher is a genial, pleasant mannered big fellow, and says he is in better condition than at any time since he put foot on these shores. “‘Peter,” interrupted Quinn, “is after Steve O'Donneil, and If he can get him we are counting on a cinch. O'Donnell, so Jerry says, is one of your Charlie Mitchell-Jack Burke sort of fighters—that is, he has never licked any ope, but has a number of credit- able draws on his list. Jerry is of the opin- fon that big Steve’s cleverness would cut but little figure against Peter’s piledriver punches. If we can’t get O'Donnell we'll be satisfied with Joe Choynskl, and if we can’t get Joe most any one will suit our purpose, and it matters little who it is.” “Thought Peter was to fight Farrell at Denver?" “Well, so he was, but we couldn’t see a dollar in it, so wisely concluded to let it go by the board. Now don't make any mistake about ‘Maher. You remember what I told you about Denver Ed In the St. Charles the night before he fought Goddard. Yes? Well, Peter is another man who is liable to fool the best of them. He was in awful condi- tion when he fought both Fitzsimmons and Goddard—in fact I don’t want to tell you how bad he was.

The unfortunate man boing gent away from the hospital requested that he should be permitted remain in the place, secing that it is impossible for him to carn his living through old age.” A proclamation by the government province of Ki reminds the natly to Christianity that they are still Chinese sub Jects and on the other hand the nonconverts are exhorted to consider the former still as brethren and put further doubts and suspicion about them. But while this converts are warned against relying because of their entrance fnto a forelgn faith too much on foreign protection, for in that case they will be punished with the utmost rig The United States steamship Moncacy re turned to Woosung from Chin Kiang on the 13th inst. with several cases of smallpox on board. Six of Ler crew were at once taken to the general hospital at Shanghai. A military mandarin, wearing the third grade or light blue ribbon, was decapitated at Soo Chow January 31. He was convicted of having robbed a silk boat at Tsingpu of $10,000 last summer while proceeding from Shanghai to the silk districts of Soo Chow Two other persons were also beheaded at the same time, one a male and the other a female, the latter siffering the slicing pro cess. They were paramours and compassed the death of the woman's husband by poisoning. The past year's working of the Bank of China, Japan and the Straits, limited, shows a net profit of £18,000, which now is absorbed by exchange and other losses amoutiting to £137,000. Full provision has been made for the loss in exchange on ail funds remitted home and for all London assets. The bal- ances of castern assets remain at, 3 shillin for a dollar and 1 shilling for a rupee. On the night of the Tth ult. the steame Hang Chow collided with an unknown v: supposed to be the St. Asaph of Br Point, Hong Kong. The unknown vessel sank immediately, while the Hang Chow was much damaged. Tlhe St. Asaph was en- ged in the coal trade and was enroute from Moquito to Hong Kong. She had only seven Buropeans on board, the balance of the crew being Chinese. She was commanded by Captain Wood. A naval court of inquiry into the ter was held on the 19th and the eaptain of the Hang Chow exonerated from all blame. Her majesty’s ship Plgmy was ordered to sea to search for the St. Asaph, but failed to find any trace of her. The railway from Tien Tsin to Shanghal 1s now an accomplished fact, and the new route is being patronized by iminnso num bers of passengers and carries large quan- titles of heavy goods, which formerly had to be conveyed, with immense numbers of sengers and with immense labor, in springless carts and on pack animals. The railway. is everywhere hailed as a blessing and there is no opposition from any quarter. Steps are well advanced for Its immediate extension eastward from the foot of the great wall to the Tallng river, which flows through the barrier and to the sea some 600 miles on this side of New Hang. —Already the road from Sheng, known from the Kwan to the Taling river, a distance of 360 miles has been leveled, and it is expe that the coming spring will see the work of laying sleepers and rails commenced On China’s New Year's day eighteen Chi nese lost their lives in a fire in Hong Kong. The fire originated through the explosion of a bundle of fire crackers. A Tien Tsin correspondent Shanghai Mercury that the Chinese empress gave birth to a son last month, and that a succession of the present dynasty is as- sured. A competition between the P. & 0. com- pany and the N. Y. K. (Japanese steamship company) on the Bombay route, has become very keen. The Japanese bas made an agreement with the Cotton Spinners union and is by degrees acquiring a large share of the trade. Preparations were being made when the Empress of India left for & cclebration on the 19th inst. of the silver wedding of the emperor and empress of Japan. The Japan Mail says that henceforth siiver weddings will become a feature of Japanese national customs and thus another link will be added to the chain by which Japan is rap- idly becoming bound to the Occident, Post- age stamps are to be issued in commemor: tion of the silver wedding. The denomina- tion are 5 sep and 2 sen, respectively, The Japanese are jubilant over the succ of the trial shipments of coal to San Francisco Having received word that, according to ex periments made by gas companies, it Is a least two candle power richer in gas than Australian coal.
