PANAMA AND PACIFIC AT OUTS | Railrond Company Refuses to Renew Its O1d Agreement with Steam- ship Line, NEW YORK, Nov. %.—The Mail and Ex- 49 says: All signs point to a lively fight bhetween the Panama radlroad and Pacific Mail Bteamship companics, after the termina- ton of thelr five-year ugreement on De- cember 16.

For traflic between the United States and Central American and Mexican points, and Europe and Central American and Mexican points, the Panama railroad has made working agreements with two different steamship lines, und under this agrecment the latter will take the place of the Pacific Mall company In this traffic. The business between New York and Colon {8 now car- ried by vessels of the Panama line and this will continue at any event. The steamship companies with which the Panama rall- road has concluded arrangements are understood to be the Pacific Steam Naviga- tion company and the South American, or Chilean line, which has already extended Its service northward to San Francisco. Up to this time they have stopped at Mexican ports. According to the terms now demanded by the Panama rallroad the Pa- gific Mail company will have to atand an the same footlng as the other steamship companies, The officials of the Pacific Mall, on the pther hand, are not at all disturbed by the ne of the Panama railroad.

No definite action was taken in the matter as no satisfactory agreement could be reached The question will be opened afresh at the meeting of the Western Passenger associa- tlon In Chicago Friday.

Heretofore the | Central has had eftective a time schedule | elightly slower tha y of the other roads because of the new stretch of road between | Omaba and Tama., Ia, and the consequent necessity of running somewhat slow over | this new plece rack until it should be- | come thoroughly settled Officials of the 1llinols Central now be- lieve that the new track is in such condi- tlon as to warrant as fast running as they wish to inaugurate, hence the cutting down of the schedule. Begluning Sunday evening the night train for Chicago wlill leave Omaha at 7:50, instead of 7:45, reaching Chi- cago the next morning at 9:45, instead of 10:20. Westbound the Central's Omaba train will leave Chicago at 6:45 p. m., & half hour later than at present, and reach Omaha at 8:05, ten minutes ahead of its | present arriving time. In order to provide every facility for the maintenance of the new schedule the Cen- tral will have fits fast trains between Omaha and Chicago equipped with its new 900-class engines, designed for fast running and heavy enough to meet all demands made upon them. Federation of Ratlrond Employes. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 28.—Within the next ten days the employes of the Big Four Rallroad company will have formed one of the strongest labor organizations ever known in the middle west. The intention of the employes is to organize a federa- tlon, making the grievance of one depart ment the grievance of all others. Within « few days the brakemen will assemble in the city and they will be followed by the conductors, telegraphers and engineers. The firemen held a secret meeting here today. It 18 said, however, that no de- clsion was reached regarding the appeal for higher wages or a restoration of the scale that was in vogue before a reduction of 10 per cent was ordered.

NOTABLES MINGLE TEARS AT HIS BIER Fuaneral Will He Held from the Fawu- 11y Home on & day—Speculan- tion as to Mis Suce ce 3 ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 28.—~The mortal remains of the late United States Sen- ator Cushman K. Davis have rested to- day In an upper room in the Davis home on Farriogton avenue in this city. The entire city mourned and from all quarters of the globe have come a stream of mes sages of sympathy and love for the stricken home &nd bereaved city and state. President McKinley was one of the first to tender his tribute of honor and love for the departed statesman and from dip- lomats, high officlals of this and other countries, senatorial colleagues, repre- sentatives in congress, from church digni- taries and leading merchants and men of business have come slmple and sincere ex- pressions of respect for the abilities and leadership of the orator whose eloquence is stilled, tho statesman whose counsels will no longer be heard. President McKinley telegraphed as fol- lows: “I beg you will receive the heartfelt sym- pathy of Mrs, McKinley and myself in your groat sorrow. In the death of Senator Davis the nation loses one of fts wisest statesmen, a tireless student of public affalrs, whose discussion of great questions was charac- terized by habitual fairness and profound learning. The whole people mourn with you." From Cleveland came the following from Senator Hanna: “I am deeply grieved to hear of the death of Senator Davis and desire to extend my sincere sympathy to yourself and all who mourn his loss, which will be felt the coun- try ove Hon. M. 8. Quay telegraphed from Pltts- bury ““You have my heartfelt sympathy in your sore bereavement.' Among those who temdered condolenc: were: Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister: Senators Foraker, Spoomer, Lodge, Lind- say, Frye, Kyle, Fairbanks, Allison, Gal- linger, McMillan and McCumber, Postmas- ter General Smith, Andrew Carnegle, Mrs. Julla Dent Grant, Genmeral R. A. Alger, Mrs, John A. Logan, Whitelaw Reld and Mayor Moores of Omaha. The latter wired: “With many of our citizens I extend to you our most heartfelt sympathy in this, the nation's loss, and trust you may be cnabled to bear up under your afictlon, sad as it may be.” Arrangements for Funeral, It was decided today that the funeral services would be held at the residence on Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, the briet service being in charge of Rev. C. D. An- drews, rector of Christ Episcopal church, of which Mrs. Davis has long been a member, assisted by Rev. Theodore Sedg- wick, rector of the Church of St. John, the evangelist. In deference to the wish of the many friends who would be unable to attend the services at the house and on the particular request of Governor Lind it was also decided that the body shall lie in state at the capitol from 10 until 3 o'clock on Friday. A detachment of the National Guard will escort the body from the residence to the capital and remain as guard durimg the day, later returning to the house. The intermemt will be at Calvary cemetery. Governor John Lind today issued & proc- lamation announcing the death of the sen- ator and asking for a general suspension of business between the hours of 10 and 3 on Saturday, the day of the funeral. Ap- propriate acticn was also taken by Mayor Smith and the city and state offices will be closed on the day of the funeral. List of Possible Successor. The fact that a fatal outcome to Senator Davis' {liness has been generally anticipated led to some speculation as to who would be his successor. There have been, of course, no pronounced candidates, but a number of names have been Informally put forth for the office. Among those who have been men- tioned are: Former Senator W. D. Washburn; Thomas Lowry, the street rallway magnate; F. H. Peavey, the millionaire grain elevator ma Congressman Loren Fletcher, all of Minne- apolis; Director of the Census W. R. Mer- riam and State Semator H. F. Stevens of St. Paul. Governor Lind, who 1s a demo- crat, will, of course, have the naming of someone to fill the vacancy in the interval between now and the time that the legls- lature elects. It is understood that the governor will not name a senator of his own political falth The time of his service would be 8o short that it is belleved there would be nothing particularly gained by do- ing s0. It has been stated that Governor Lind will name former Senator W. D. Washburn to flll the vacancy. Although op- posed, politically, Governor Lind and Sena- tor Washburn have long been close personal friends, and It is regarded as highly prob- able that the ex-senator will be named. Senator Knute Nelson, whose term explires on March next, 18 a candidate for re-elec- tlon and had the endorsement of the last republican stato convention. The forthcom- ing legislature will, therefore, have the choosing of two United States senators, Should two or more of the gentlemen whose names have been mentioned as candidates develop considerable strength it has been intimated, although 1t seems lmurebable, that fn the resultng mixup A%nLasota might find herselt represented in the United States senate by two new men, Tribute from Judge Day. CANTON, 0., Nov. 28.—Judge Willlam R. Day, former secretary of state and pros- ident of the Parls peace commission, ot which Senator Davls was a member, on hearing of the latter's death, sald: “The death of Semator Davis removes one of the first statesmen of the country. As chairman of the senate committee on foreign affairs ho took a prominemt and influential part in the foreign policy of the country for some years. Senator Dav was thoroughly acquainted with imter- national law and one of the highest Amer- ican autkorities on the subject of the present day. Senator Davis' services at Parls In the negotlations of the treaty were of the highest value. He bore a lead- ing part In the discussion before that tribunal, always acquitting himselt with honor. Senator Davis was a man of gental temperament and attractive personality. His place in the councils of the nation will be hard to fill and his death a per- sonal loss to a wide circle of friends, who were greatly attached to him.' Judge Dey sent a meseazo of sympathy and condolence to Mrs. Davis WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Speaker Hen- derson of the house of representa- tives today appointed the mewbers of the committee to attend, on the part of | the house, the funeral of the late Davis of Minnesota. The commiftec cludes the entire Minnesota delegation, with Mr. Tawney as chalrman; Mr. Cannon of Illinois, Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, Mr. Moody of Massachusetts, Mr. Jenkins of Wiscon- sin, Mr. W. A.

GHOST HAS EAR FOR MUSIC Apparition Whlie nits Millspnagh Home In Able to Sing and Reclte Poetry, It 1s a persistent ghost that fs haunting the Millspaugh home as told in Wednesday's Bee, and a musical and somewhat lterary ghost as well. Mrs. Millspaugh scorns the rat theory. She has had some experience with rats, but never saw one yet that could sing or recite poetry, and that is exactly what her ghost is doing. It did so as recently as Tuesday night. “My daughter and I both heard it said she yesterday. “The only other occupant of the house fs a little boy named Arthur Thompson, who, ince Mr. Millspaugh went away, has been sleeping in the bedroom leading off from the kitchen. We arose after the sounds had ceased and asked him it he had heard anything; he said he hadn't He had evidently been slecping soundly “I am not sure that I can describe the sounds 1 heard, but they resembled more than anything else I can think of now a woman's voice singing—still. not that ex- actly elther. The tones were more like those of some musical instrument. If a violin could speak and sing a solo as a prima donna does, then I would say some virtuoso had been serenading us, but that, | of course, 18 absurd. The voice that pro- duced the tones also spoke words. I dlstinctly caught the phrase, repeated often, with many variations: ‘This, too, shall pass away.' Sometimes parts of it would bo re- peated as a kind of chant or recitative, ‘shall pass, shall pass, shall pass.’ “The alr in which this refrain was ren- dered was inexpressib)y sad, with an eerle strain running through it like the sough of wind or the subdued drone of a bass viol. “Edith and I were awakened by the sound, as we afterward learned, about 12:30 In the morning, and both of us lay perfectly quiet until {t had ceased. It continued with oc- caslonal iInterruptions for mearly five minutes. Then we arose, awakened Arthur and made & thorough search of every room in the house. I was frightened, of course, but I had the pistol Mr. Millspaugh left me and was determined to use It if necessary. We found nothing; everything was exactly as we had left It upon retiring; the win- dows and doors were barred and even the inside doors were locked, so that an in- truder could mot have had free passags from room to room. “It seemed to me that the sounds came trom the front parlor, though Edith insists they came from above, Nelther of us saw anything unusual last night.” J.

The morey set aside for the department during the present year was about $7,000, which would have been suf- ficient had the officers been obliged to do only what properly belongs to their depart- ment. But during the year nearly $2,200 has been expended in the removal of dead animals, The health commissioner believes that this sum should have been paid out of tho general fund. The milk inspector's salary of $1,080 also comes out of the health department's ap- propriation. Milk dealers pay more than $2,000 in license fees, but this sum 18 turned into the school fund and does not go to the department which pays the salary of the man who collects the fecs.

Under the direction of Sberift Power elaborate arrangements have been made for & sumptuous feast for their special benefit. A wagonload of turkeys, barrels of clder, cranberries without stint and homemade mince ples, in quantites sufficient to provide an entire pie for each prisoner, were loaded in the jail larders yesterday and extra cooks were given em- ployment to prepare the viands. The main corridor of the jall has been cleared to make space for two long tables running from wall to wall. The customary tin plates and pewter spoons have been dls- carded and instead of the usual wooden tables or benches, which the prisoners have been in the habit of dining from, there will be tables covered with the whitest linen. The men and women serving sen- tences at the jall will be released from the cells and permitted to assoclate in the corridor all day. At dinuertime there will be toasts, post-prandial stories and other amusements customary at dinners in high life.
